《How To Train Your Dragon: The Next Heir》Chapter 10 - Old Friends

Eylimi's POV:
--------------------
I woke up slowly. The ground shook quickly and then stopped. It shook again, once again stopping. The water dripping on the side of the cave into the small pond stopped. The ponds water made small ripples. Then there was another shake. It gradually got louder and louder, faster and faster.
"Hunter. Hunter get up!" I shook him awake. He sat up next to me with a shocked look on his face. There was another bang. Suddenly there was a loud crash! The dragons sat up but didn't dare move a mussel after that.
I looked to the left where ice fell outside the cave. I gestured to Hunter with my hand to stay there. I slowly got up and walked to the ledge where you could see everything from.
Suddenly there was a loud screech and giant shards of ice began falling from the roof of the sanctuary. That's when I saw it. A giant creature ripped a hole through the ice and invited itself in.
I went to scream but Hunter put his hand over my mouth from behind and slowly backed me away. He let go and put a finger to his lips telling me to keep quite.
The giant creature made the ground shake as he fell into the lake below. I saw water drops rise to the high level I was at from the splash. Hunter dragged me over behind the dragons where the two of them protected us with their wings.
I saw the creature coming our way. Hunter quickly pushed Cloudjumper and Firedrop behind a wall. We both squeezed into the small area with them. Hunter and I could see out of the cave, the creatures giant spikes, glistening in the moonlight.
Suddenly the creature disappeared. I went to stand up but Hunter quickly pulled me back down, covering my mouth. The creatures death threatening yellow eye appeared at the window of the cave, searching it like a hawk.
We kept quiet as it looked around. It turned its eye to us. I kept still as a rock. I didn't even breath. We could see it quite clearly but I begged to Thor it couldn't see us as we blended into the dark shadow on the cave wall.
The giant creature had one last glimpse of the cave before it moved away. Hunter nudged me as he moved his hand away from my mouth. He pointed upwards. I nodded as Cloudjumper gave us a lift. We climbed up and out of the cave.

We climbed to the top of the sanctuary, quietly with the dragons behind us. We stood on one of the tall ice spikes that over looked the frozen ocean around us. The creature excited the ice walled garden and stood on the snow covered ground far below us.
"Eylimi. It's the creature we saw under the water." Hunter whispered. I took a closer look at its tail to notice it was the same boring grey coloured creature that Cloudjumper tried to swim after years ago.
"GRRRROOOOAAAAWWWWW!!!!" It screeched so loud I had to cover my ears. It breathed in heavily and fired. I had to take a closer look to realise frost was escaping its mouth instead of fire. In front of it, grew giant ice spikes that could have killed anything that would have been standing next to it.
I looked down at my feet to see I was standing on the same ice spikes. Could this creature have built this place? The tusked animal shook like a dog before it ran towards the ocean and dived in. It disappeared with a splash.
"Hunter. Is that what I think it is?" I asked him.
"No, I've only heard about it in the book of dragons. There's no way. Those things have been extinct for twenty years." He said.
"The great bewilderbeast." I stated. I looked at him and he looked back with a worried face.
"Let's just head in and see the damage." He said, taking one step at a time.
--------------------
Vidgrip's POV:
--------------------
"Welcome to the final event of the Thors Day Thursday competition!" Yelled Gobber. "Now, the first event was you had to successfully train a terrible terror. Considering you lot are still here, it means you succeeded. In the second event! You had to fight with both your dragon and the terrible terror against other members of the hooligan tribe and win. Seeing as you're here for the third event clearly you didn't die." He chuckled and the crowd cheered. "And now! For the final event! You lot aged fourteen to seventeen who are still here shall go on a two day quest across the archipelago! Your job, is to find something amazing! The one back with the most amazing thing wins!" He announced as the crowd yelled with glee.
"What's the prize?" Dogsbreath asked.
"Always the one to question aren't you dogsbreath. The prize for the winner shall be!....." He began but then leaned over to Hiccup. "What's the prise again?" He whispered to the chief. Hiccup face palmed himself and whispered back. "The winning prise shall be you're very own yak!" He yelled.

"Good enough for me!" Vika and Viko smiled in unison.
"You have until Saturday. GO!" He yelled as suddenly the horn went. Me, Vika, Viko and Mudskip made a team so we could help each other find something amazing. Our dragons took off and we began flying away from Berk.
"Come on Quicksand! Go faster!" I yelled at the lazy Sandwairth. He growled at me. The twins and Mudskip flew up beside me.
"So? What's the amazing thing we are looking for?" Mudskip asked.
"Is it our uncle Larse?" Vika thought.
"Is it a missing head?" Viko guessed.
"Is it our uncle Larse's missing head?" Vika tried again.
"Larse died?!" Mudskip questioned.
"Would you guys shut up. We are looking for something amazing. I don't know what we are looking for but we are going to fly until we find something amazing." I told them.
"Last year, Baggybum found a thing Hiccup calls a watch from the meathead islands and he won. Do we have to find the same thing?" Mudskip asked.
"No! We are finding something much more amazing! Something no one has ever found! Because I'm Vidgrip Jorgenson! And I never loose!" I pointed out.
--------------------
Hunter's POV:
--------------------
All the dragons in the sanctuary have fled after the attack of the bewilderbeast yesterday. The place looks a mess and the roof could fall in any minute. I heard a flapping noise while Eylimi was washing Cloudjumper. I turned to walk outside.
"Where you going?" She asked.
"I just heard something. I'll be right back." I told her. I ducked under a stone beam and walked out onto one of the ice spikes. I heard a yell and suddenly three dragons landed in front of me.
"It can't be." The short rider on the Sandwairth commented.
"Unbelievable." The fat one added.
"Uh, uh, uh, Eylimi!" I called to her inside to get some backup. The four riders eyes widened. And their jaws dropped.
"What, what name did you just say?" The short one stuttered.
"Okay I'm here..." Eylimi came out to join me. She took one glimps at them and gulped.
"WE FOUND THEM!" The four riders cheered, throwing their hands in the air.
"Uh?" I was going to question who they were.
"We have been look for you guys for two years! We missed you so much. Wow, how you guys have changed." The fat one said.
"And you're seventeen now! Haha. We thought we wouldn't be able to celebrate for last week!" The girl said to Eylimi, hopping off her Zippleback.
"Alright STOP!" I yelled, shutting them up. "Who the hell are you people?" I asked them.
"You don't remember? It's me, Vidgrip. This is Vika, Viko and Mudskip." The short one answered.
"Woah, what? It's really you guys. No way! I didn't even recognise you. I cheered.
"The tribe is going to be so happy when we bring you back." Mudskip smiled.
"THATS IT! That is our something amazing! We will definitely win this!" Vidgrip smiled.
"Oh, I forgot it was Thors Day Thursday yesterday." I remembered.
"How come you didn't come back?" Viko asked.
"Wait where's Eylimi?" Vika added. I turned around to realise she wasn't there.
"EYLIMI!" I called for her and ran inside. The others followed, their dragons squeezing through the tight gap. I see her sitting on the edge of the lookout. Head in her hands. I walked over to her and stood her up. A tear ran down her cheek and I wiped it away.
"I can't go back." She sobbed.
"Eylimi, we have been out here for two years. I think it's time we went back." I told her.
"Back? Ha! What's left for us there. All that's left for me is a dad who hates me, a town that knows I'm not a worthy chief to be and a law I broke. What's the point." She continued sobbing.
"Your dad doesn't hate you." Vidgrip said.
"He has been grieving for you ever since you left." Mudskip added.
"He doesn't even go to the arena anymore, because that's where you went missing." Vika stated.
"He, he still loves me?" Eylimi asked them.
"Like none of us have ever seen." Vidgrip sighed.
"And if he doesn't, I still do." I said and kissed her on the forehead.
"Oh come on man! How come you got the girl!" Vidgrip complained, chucking his helmet on the floor.
"Haha." Me and Eylimi laughed.
"What are we waiting for then? Let's go!" Mudskip ordered.

New Game (Reborn as a Reluctant Demon Lord, Book 1)
Portal Fantasy. Isekai. A daydream of nerds everywhere, leaving behind their boring world and living in a fantasy one that is full of adventure. A daydream that became a reality for me and 1000 other Comic-Con attendees. Except for me, it was more of a nightmare. Wanting nothing more than to find a way home, and also saddled with being the world's new [Demon Lord], I found myself trapped in a gamelike world and also somehow a part of the [Hero's] party. So join me as I tell the tale of my struggles. A tale of levels and skills. A tale of cagey game admins and bugs. And a tale of our party's grand quest to defeat... Well... Me. ---- What to expect from this book? 1. A main character who is not overpowered (and instead has to go from near-useless to strong. Not just weak to strong). If you are looking for an OP [Demon Lord] who laughs at his weakling enemies... This isn't for you. 2. A meandering pace as the characters aren't told how a lot of the world works and have to figure it out themselves. (And because there are a lot of characters. Whose idea was it to have a party of 9? I blame Jake) 3. A tragedy. A lot of things are not going to go well for the protagonist. (Not that everything is tragedy all the time. There is humor, laughter, friendship, and even a mascot monster character who got way more popular than I expected. But this is not a story that will leave you uplifted and inspired after every time you read it). ---- Release Schedule and publishing information: Book 1 is complete! I will include a link to book 2 once it has been started. Feel free to give feedback, positive or negative. ---- Other notes Book 1? Yes, this says Book 1. There are probably going to be 3 books. No, the plot as you can guess is not going to be tortured to drag out all the way to book 3. That would be ridiculous. If you can guess the plot of books 2 or 3 at any point before the last chapter of book 1, please use your clairvoyant powers for something more productive. TitusGM? This story is intentionally told under the username TitusGM because the idea is that he was the one actually writing everything down what happened after it all is over. I initially planned to answer everything in character on this site, but that just really didn't work out. If you want an in character response to a comment, simply prefix it with IC: (I also try to leave that as a reminder in the author's note after each new chapter) Cover art?

Life, the struggle for existence
What would happen when man had to, once again, fight for its own right to live? Would the evolutionary counterparts of our ancestors manage to life through the struggle for survival? What would happen to society if a new reason for living came up, other than the enjoyment of the well-built environment? A reason that could either unite or destroy humanity.This is the struggle for their right of existence.As earth and its inhabitants are faced with the fear of unknown danger and the peril of monstrosities, some will falter, some will die and some will live on to tell the tales of those forgotten. As reality dictates, most will be part of the first two groups and only a small faction will be part of the latter. *This is my first attempt at writing fantasy, so I do hope you’ll enjoy it. The story is one of apocalyptic nature, with gigantic monsters, unfathomable powers and also a critial view on humanity and what it means to be human. I will definitely try to stay away from any tropes that are not neccesary to write fantasy, as I thoroughly despise non-creativity. There shall be no harems, no unrealistic behavior and absolutely no standard scene of dimwitted bandits that try to rob whatever similarly rock-brained princess they encounter. The main character is not black and white, because no human is completely good or completely evil. They’re human, not some idealistic concept of what one is supposed to be. Enjoy!Warning: Tagged 17+ for the occasional strong language and violence, some mild sexual content can occur in the distant future.
