I can't stop seeing their faces. I can't stop hearing screams. I grip my head. What have I done? What am I now? Who am I? Why did I do this? God. I was so stupid. I can't believe I did this to myself.

I slither through the dungeons. I'm bringing them food. Krogan insisted. I have no choice to serve him. My own fault completely. I was so desperate and so wanting revenge. Revenge darkened my heart. It made me mad. I have always hated what I have become. 

I open the dungeon door to them. They look at me. I push the tray in. I close the door with my tail. I do not want to stay here. I want to leave. I don't want their eyes too stare me down. I look down. I need to get out of here. I turn.

"Hiccup, wait." Astrid says.

I turn back.

"What happened to you?" Astrid says.

"Where'd you get the tail?" Tuffnut asks.

"Where'd you get the mask?" Ruffnut asks. 

"Long story." I say.

"Hiccup please just tell us." Astrid says.

No, I can't. I can't tell anyone. 

"Anger and desperation can often blind those to darker power." I say as I slither out.
