(Hiccup's pov)

Making our way to make the sacred square, Danish citizens and warriors gathered and were cheering King Dagfinn on; encouraging him to wipe the ground with my blood and other gruesome words. I had no fear in my eyes, true, though I was no warrior, at least not yet, I was calculated and intelligent; and I would use those traits to my advantage.

Queen Amma and the other Danish rulers ordered everyone to quiet down, when everyone was silent, Amma approached both Dagfinn and myself and spoke the rules of the duel. "You have both chosen your weapons. You are entitled to a second shield if the first one is shattered. This is a fight to the death." Gesturing to the sacred square, Amma continued. "The square has been drawn, but only one of you will walk out of it alive." Turning to Dagfinn, Amma addressed him. "King Dagfinn, if you die, Hiccup will claim your title as king, your armies, resources, wealth and people." Turning to me, Amma addressed me. "If you die Hiccup, we will send your dragons away and we will continue our original plans to attack England as one army."

Amma then summoned Danish priests to dab each of us in blood spatter, the priests were bald and had black and yellow paint covering their faces, they held a small bowl of sheeps blood and held a wreath of branches and dabbed the sticks in the blood. They then approached Dagfinn and I and flung the branches in our faces, causing blood to spatter on our faces. Closing my eyes, as the blood landed on my face, I knew that this was going to be my opportunity to show these people that I'm ruthless and intelligent.

Dagfinn and I then entered the sacred square and once we entered, the tall Danish king scoffed at me and discarded his shield, thinking that this fight will be over far too soon. He was armed with a battle axe and got in his battle stance, while I had a shield in hand and a sword, I then let out a battle cry and charged Dagfinn, he spun around and brought his battle axe down on me, quickly raising my shield, it immediately shattered at the force of King Dagfinn's blow.

The Danes roared in approval at their kings show of force, Dagfinn himself laughed at me and raised his eyebrows at me. "You won't win this boy." I scoffed and discarded my shattered shield before approaching one of the Dane warriors, the handed me my second shield, once I took, I slowly approached Dagfinn and rushed him once more, he brought his axe down on my once more, but I side stepped his powerful attack and bashed my shield against the back of his neck, sending him flying to the ground.

Dagfinn groaned in pain as he grasped the back of his neck and hissed in pain, then in the blink of an eye, he slashed his battle axe up and the blade cut me across my right eye and the blade actually nicked my eye as well. Screaming in pain, I could feel blood trickling down my wound at an alarming rate, I pant heavily and shrug off the Danes bloodthirsty roars and taunts thrown my way and I do everything humanly possible to shake the pain off.

Getting back to his feet, Dagfinn presses his attack and repeatedly batters my shield again and again, the force of his blows rattle my arms and finally, when his axe breaks through the shield? He then tugs violently and hurls me across the square. Groaning in agony, I get back up as Dagfinn then discards my second shield and gives me a murderous grin, all around me, I could hear the Danes taunting me.

"Not so tough without your Night Fury's huh?"

"You don't stand a chance against our king fishbone!!"

"You're weak! Pathetic! Useless!!"

As Dagfinn approaches me once more, I tap into my hatred and duck under the Danish kings axe swing and draw out my long knife and plunge the blade into Dagfinn's leg, causing the man to cry out in pain, I let out a roar as I drive the blade deeper wand glare daggers at my opponent. Dagfinn backhands me violently, but I shrug off the sting of the blow and then twist the knife in his leg. Again, Dagfinn blackheads me, successfully knocking me off of him, breathing heavily, I could taste blood in my mouth and spit it out, I groan in irritation and pain as blood from my eye wound gets into my already sensitive and wounded eye.

Before I could react, Dagfinn's foot comes in contact with my face, putting me down on the ground, he then raises his axe high in the air and I roll out of the way just in time as the blade strikes the ground beneath me. Quickly picking up my sword, I slash Dagfinn across his right arm and he drops his weapon while yelling in pain, getting back to my feet, I twirl my sword in hand and get into a battle stance.

"Come on Dagfinn! Finish the welp!!"

"Soak Midgard with his blood!!"

"FINISH HIM!!!!"

Dagfinn's men were demanding my blood; they craved it like a ravenous wolf craved its next meal, and I would deny Dagfinn's men the satisfaction of seeing their king manhandle me. I try stabbing Dagfinn, but the man grabs my sword hand and tries confiscating my sword away, I punch him across the face, he turns back to me and inhales sharply before head butting me violently, causing me to lose my footing and to feel Dagfinn drive his knee into my gut and and then successfully taking my sword away, he then slashes upward, cutting me across the chest, causing me to cry out in pain and fall to the ground.

King Dagfinn lets out a dominant roar and his men and shield maidens praise their king for his prowess as a warrior, meanwhile, I laid down on the ground and could hear my ears ringing, my heart beat pumping faster than ever and my vision was blurry. I then groan out with every ounce of strength I had. "O-Odin... All-Allfather... he-help. Help me. H-Help." I could hear the panicked roars of Blaze and the rest of the Night Fury's, I then heard Blaze's voice enter my head.

::Get up!! You cannot avenge our brother and yourself if you're dead!! GET UP!!!::

Groaning with effort, I reach for my long knife and prepare myself as Dagfinn charges me, he tries taking my head off his axe and tries spilling my guts open with my sword, but I dodged both fatal strikes and could feel adrenaline running through my veins. Attempting to stab me with my sword, Dagfinn leaves his arm vulnerable, so I take my knife and plunge the blade into his arm and began hacking away at his flesh violently, causing him to scream in agony and causing me to let out a terrifying roar at the man.

He pushes me away and I then crouch as he clutches his wound, blood seeping out of his wound at alarming rates, he snarls at me and discards my sword before twirling his battle axe in hand and lets out an animalistic war cry and brings his axe down on me. With inhuman like strength, I raise my right arm out and stop Dagfinn's attack, giving me the opening I need to strike. So I then plunge my long knife right into his groin, causing the man to roar out in pain as I then bring the knife up and cut his cock clean in half.

Continuing to cry out in agony at his now rapidly bleeding organ, I then slash Dagfinn across the face with my knife, the first slash was across his left eye and up to his forehead. Letting out a war cry, I slash the Danish king across the face again and successfully make an 'X' across his face, he then wobbles around since I had blinded him with my attacks. Seizing the opportunity, I run up to the Dane and wrap my legs around his waist as I stab him repeatedly in the neck, once Dagfinn landed on the ground? I continue to stab him in the neck, face, eyes, nose and let out demonic like roars as his blood caked my face and teeth. About ten seconds later? Dagfinn's face was bleeding at alarming rates, he was twitching violently as well; trying desperately to stop the bleeding, but I took a good piece of my shield and then began to bash his face in.

CRUNCH!

The sounds of his bones being smashed in gave me a sadistic pleasure, because in my eyes? I was no longer killing Dagfinn. In my eyes, I was killing Snotlout, Tuffnut, Stoick... and Astrid. Just the very thought of the girl who took away my best friend caused me to let loose one last war cry as I then completely bashed Dagfinn's face in, his blood, teeth and pieces of his skull and brains caked my face, but I ignored the gore that was streaming down my face.

It was a badge of my first victory as a warrior. I had killed one of the most legendary Vikings in our world and relied on my hatred and my oath to avenge Toothless and myself to drive me to victory. Standing up, I gazed down at the now former King Dagfinn, whose face was now a pile of smashed flesh, bone, teeth and gore, I inhaled sharply and spat upon my deceased opponent and turned to Dagfinn's warriors and people.

"All hail your new king." I seethed out coldly while raising my arm high in the air, almost immediately, those who served King Dagfinn bowed down to me and accepted me as their new king. Turning to Queen Amma and Princess Gunhild, the two blond women looked at me with shock and awe at displaying such... raw carnage. Yet none the less, Queen Amma rose from her throne and approached me, then she turned to everyone gathered and boomed out. "Hail King Hiccup!!"

"Hail King Hiccup!"

"Hail King Hiccup!!"

"Hail King Hiccup!!!"

Closing my eyes, a smile spreads across my face as I bask in the triumph of defeating such a legendary warrior and taking his lands, people, resources and kingdom for myself. Amma then spoke to me. "When do we attack Paris?" Opening my eyes once more, I turned to my companion and new ally before answering her. "Obviously not now. We will need to prepare to attack the Franks. I will inform you and the others when I have a plan." Queen Amma nodded in acknowledgment before grabbing my hand and raising it high in the hair, causing every Dane gathered to roar out in approval and... acceptance.

These were my people. And as king, I had a duty to ensure that they benefit from my rule. But I wasn't worried about that at all. When I'm done? We will become the most famous Vikings who ever lived and our story, fame and infamy will be forever etched in history.

I would see to it personally.
