"Who? What are you?" She points at me. 

I remove my hood. I take off my mask. Even though scales were both on my cheeks. I still had traces of me. 

"Hiccup? What in the name of Thor happened to you?" She asks.

"Long story." I roll my eyes. 

She looks at the bag of lenses.

"What are you doing with those?" She asks. 

"You really don't want to know." I say. 

I slither away. She blocks my way.

"You can't go with those!" She yells. 

I let out a breath.

"I don't have a choice." I say.

She points her spear.

"I can't let you take those." She says. 

I create a blade in my hand. I pull my hood up. I place my mask back on. I charge at her. Our weapons clash. A Wingmaiden comes closer.

"Gather more troops!" Midden yells. 

She pushes me back. The Wingmaiden nods and flies off. 

"Hiccup, I don't want to fight you." She says.

"I don't either, but I don't have a choice." I slam her with my tail. 

She draws back. She charges. I grab her spear and aim my blade. It slices her cheek. I stare at the wound. My heart sinks. I dissolve the blade. She looks at me startled.

"I am sorry." I say. 

I feel a blade through my side. I wince. I turn. I see a spear digging on the side of my chest. I push the Wingmaiden off. I rip the spear out. I place my hand over the wound. This just got a lot harder.
