The battle plan is set. We plan on flying around the back of the island, where no one can see us come flying from the front.

We plan on leaving tomorrow early morning before dawn breaks. By the time we get to the island it'll be late afternoon and we would be able to rest.

Hiccup and the others have been planning this since the day I told them about what my people do to dragons. They just needed some more information of the island specifically.

•●●●•

It's early morning Eret and Valka decided to stay at Berk. It would have been too many if the Dragon Riders and I all went.

We were ready to set off. Except, Snotlout was no where to be found.

"Where's Snotlout?" Hiccup asked us, annoyance lacing his voice.

"Wasn't he with you yesterday, (Y/N)?" Eret asked as he hands me my supplies.

I let out an audible sigh as I grabbed them out of his hands "Well, he was. After things happened between us and I went to the Great Hall, I haven't seen him since." I said, slightly still upset by Snotlout being rude. I started to roughly shove the food and water into the saddle pouches that Hiccup made for me.

I looked up at Hiccup, maybe thinking he was going to say something.

"I'm not going to ask what happened..." Hiccup stated shaking his head

"Don't worry, I wasn't going to tell you anyway." I mumbled as I looked away.

Hiccup let out sigh and looked to the horizon "Well, looks like we just have to go without him."

Hiccup looked at me "Lead the way, (Y/N)."

I looked back at him and gave him a firm nod. I looked down at my dragon "Let's go, Firefang." I softly murmured as I patted her neck and with that we took to the skies along with the rest right behind me.

•●●●•

We were half way there just another 12 hours left.

We made sure we didn't eat or drink too much so we didn't have to worry about stopping anywhere. We also had to be on time and made sure no hours were going to be lost.

"Wow, there really are no islands. Not even sea stacks." Fishlegs said as he held up a spy glass and looked all around in front of him.

I yawned, I was extremely tired "Yeah, I know. Our dragons are going to be exhausted when we get to my island." I said with a bit of worry.

•●●●•

We were continuing on flying and it looked like it was late afternoon. Just like how I predicted. I could tell that all of our dragons are exhausted. So were the Dragon Riders.

I felt like I was going to pass out of exhaustion. I have fell asleep a couple of times on top of Firefang but it really made my back hurt.

As I was looking through the spyglass I saw a familiar cliff and saw a very familiar arena peeking out way at the back. My eyes widen as I sat up.

"We're here." I muttered as I looked behind me.

They all sat up with wide eyes. I looked over at Hiccup and he gives me a nod.

We all start to turn and flew around the island

•●●●•

We went to the far back of the island. Luckily, the island is huge, a little bit bigger than Berk.

We landed into the thick and dense forest. All of our dragons collapsed on the ground in exhaustion.

We haphazardly and tiredly set up camp. I decided that I was going to be the look out first then Hiccup, Astrid, Fishlegs, and the twins.

After only about a few hours I finally was able to get some rest after I ate some food and drank some fresh water. I passed out once I placed my head on my arm as I slept on the ground.

•●●●•

I hissed as I grabbed my arm. I looked at my arm and there was an arrow in it. I noticed some feet in front of me and I started to slowly look up.

"Anwir?" I guessed out loud. Once I got to this person's face my eyes widen. "Snotlout?!" I muttered as I stare at him in horror.

I started to tear up and shook my head "No. Not you too." I cried out, barely above a whisper. He placed the crossbow down beside him and gave me such a pitiful and sorrowful look. He started to walk away, leaving me.

All alone.

•●●●•

"(y/n)..."

"(Y/n)..."

"(Y/N)!"

I slightly gasped as I woke up. It was dark and I saw the stars were out. I immediately saw a figure hovering over me. I jerk back in surprise.

"It's time. We need to get going."

It was Hiccup.

I sat up and everyone was already awake.

I nodded at him and stood up.

•●●●•

We walked through the woods, leaving our dragons back at camp. They were still asleep and it was going to be difficult if we brought them with us anyway. If it all goes to plan we should be done in a few hours.

We started to get closer to the arena. However, as we got closer there were people chattering and laughing about. There were Vikings walking inside the arena and some people leaving. We were a couple of yards away as we hid behind some trees.

"(Y/N), didn't you say that they were usually asleep at this time?" Hiccup whispers to me.

"Yeah, they are...unless..." my eyes went wide as I smacked my head with my palm "oh no! I'm an idiot!" I muttered angrily to myself.

"What? Why?" Hiccup asked as he furrowed his eyebrows at me.

Before I could answer a familiar voice in the arena bellowed loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the annual Dragon Battles!" The voice echoed all around.

There was a roar of cheers and shouts.

My heart dropped down to my gut as I cursed under my breath.

"We need to move to Plan B." I whispered to the group

"Plan B?! What's Plan B?" Astrid asked with bewildered eyes as she looks at me with worry all over her face.

I sighed and shook my head "We're about to figure that out right now."

•●●●•

We quickly went back to camp and started to plan. "How could you forget?" Fishlegs asked me as his voice shakes.

I looked at him with my eyebrows laced with worry and then I looked down at the ground "I'm really sorry. Dragon Battles is something that I have ignored my whole life. So I never really paid attention to it." I sighed and then I looked up at the group.

"I have a plan in mind. But..." I trailed off.

•●●●•

"What?!" They all said at once.

"Are you sure?" Hiccup asked with worry

"What if they kill you?!" Fishlegs exclaimed grabbing my shoulders and shaking me.

"They won't...well hopefully not until you guys save the dragons." I said rubbing my arms.

I looked up at them and gave them my best bravest face. "If anything happens to me, continue on with the plan." I looked over at Firefang who was sleeping "Take care of Firefang, as well."

"We're not going to let anything happen to you." Astrid said placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder.

I smiled softly at her "Thank you."

•●●●•

We went back to the arena. It looked like the "Warriors" who are participating this year were lining up right now, each of their names being called. One of them was Anwir.

The Dragon Riders hid in the trees. I gave them one last glance and started to head towards the arena.

As I was walking everyone started to stare at me and some even gasped while others whisper to themselves but I kept staring onwards and didn't dare look at anyone's face. I was acting brave, my heart was beating in my ears and my legs felt wobbly.

I got to the arena entrance. Two of the guards even looked at me in surprise and forgot to stop me.

I walked through a small tunnel that lead into the area and the Warriors who were lined up in front of me had wide open eyes as they had their mouth open in shock.

The people in the audience became silent as the Viking who tried to force me to kill my dragon stood up from his chair and stared at me as I stared right back at him.

"I'm back...father."
