Hi Everyone! Remember me? haven't updated in so long but I have made some edits to the structure of the story so its a good idea to read from the beginning i think if you recently haven't already :) anyway, enjoy :)

-Hiccup was having a wonderful day. What had started off as a quiet scouting mission of a newly discovered land had quickly turned sour when a baby white dragon had accidentally set toothless's prosthetic tail fin on fire with a fireball before hiccup could properly calm it. the emergency landing into the forest below had been surprisingly more gentle than normal, but he was still going to have scratches and bruises the next day.

But scratches and bruises were the worst of his problems at the present moment. unfortunately the crash landing had created quite a ruckus and had come to the attention of a band of knights who were, unluckily, patrolling the area at the time.

Normally, when ambushed in strange new lands, Hiccup could rely on Toothless's protection to keep him safe. but since his day was destined to be just wonderful, Toothless managed to land himself in a patch of wild dragon-nip and blissfully rolled around while Hiccup was attacked from behind, gagged and trussed up like a chicken before being tied onto the back of a horse.

Now, the knights being smarter than the average viking had quickly figured out that what was stopping the scary black dragon from attacking them was the very plant it was rolling in, had quickly obtained a wagon full of it, in a wagon and chained and muzzled the sedate and frankly useless reptile on top.

Now the strange procession was slowly making its way towards a castle that Hiccup had heard the knights talking about in English, a strange language that Hiccup had learnt back in the days when his only real friend had been Gobber. Hiccup would have liked to have learnt more about this strange new land, however, his tight gag prevented him from making noises any louder than a squeak, let alone coherent sentences in a strange language.

The procession made it to the crest of a hill where the forest made way for crops and livestock, and Hiccup got a glimpse of the castle, made of white marble and shining brightly in the hot afternoon sun. The view was beautiful, and on in other circumstances Hiccup would have felt joy and an uncontrollable urge to sketch the sight before him.

however, in this case the high walls of the castle were more foreboding than majestic and Hiccup felt a bead of sweat roll down his cheek, as the physical and emotional stresses of the day took their toll.

The procession travelled through the lower city, Hiccup could catch some of the mutters of the towns people. They looked quite civilised at least, even though the remarks were far from it.

"... can't wait to see the crows feast on that beast's head Astlith..."

"...that dragon wont put up much of a fight.."

"... who cares Godwyn! I'm more interested in that one legged boy there..."

the conversations of the lower city faded to mumbles as Hiccup passed through yet another set of gates into a courtyard where they stopped and the knights dismounted. It seemed that Hiccups journey had come to an end. Well, their flag does have a dragon on it, if they would only get rid of this gag, maybe i could talk some sense into them thought Hiccup.

Suddenly the knights who had been standing around Hiccup and Toothless and talking quietly stood to attention and bowed. Hiccup looked up to see two very regal looking figures descending into the courtyard and down some very regal looking steps. Hiccup gulped, feeling his exhaustion rise again, and suddenly feeling less sure as he watched the Kings face scowl as he caught sight of Toothless.

"Your Highness King Arthur" said a bowing knight Hiccup had learned was called Sir Geraint.

"Sir Geraint" replied the King. "what have you brought into my city? Is it a wise idea to bring a creature that fierce into the presence of many innocent people whose live could be endangered by it?"

"If you please sire, the beast has been well-contained, that herb he is chained by kept him docile throughout the entirety of our trip from the forest of Ascetir. No, if it had just been the beast we had found we would not have burdened Camelot with its presence. However, do you observe the contraption on its back?"

King Arthur advanced towards Toothless and inspected the mangled saddle and metal-work. "Why it seems to be some sort of saddle?"

"Exactly sire, and we have managed to capture the rider as well" stated the now grinning Geraint as he pulled the horse Hiccup was still tied to forwards. Too exhausted now to do much more, Hiccup watched the King wearily as he examined Hiccup.

"Well done, perhaps this sorcerer can reveal information as to what he was doing flying a beast into a kingdom in which magic is banned" King Arthur said solemnly, frowning a little as he tried to find a rhyme and reason within Hiccup, no scratch that, Hiccup was a sorcerer now apparently, so the 'sorcerers' logic. "Take him and his beast to the dungeons and chain them well, use the magic suppressing collar for safety. But it is almost dusk and I have matters to attend to."

King Arthur turned to rejoin his wife and they began to exit the courtyard when the King turned suddenly and asked in a completely different manner "oh by the way if any of you see Merlin around, that useless bag of bones was supposed to be back from his 'flower and herb expedition' yesterday but my stables are still a mess!"

The knights laughed as they imagined the scolding Merlin would be getting later that evening before they untied Hiccup from the horse. Hiccup, whose legs had long ago gone numb from lack of use, collapsed under him as he was pulled off of the horse, but he was quickly hoisted back up onto his feet by the knights.

Then, a strange looking collar was fastened around his neck and manacles clasped over his still tied wrists, he was half dragged down into the dungeons, managing to stumble most of the way to his cell graceful Hiccup, so graceful where he had his prosthetic confiscated and his remaining ankle chained to the wall along with his wrists.

The cell was dry, thankfully, but it's only comforts were a pile of straw and a bowl of water that was just out of reach, most likely on purpose. However, Hiccup was considerably cheered when an equally bound and slightly more aware Toothless was placed in the cell next to his.

However, Toothless promptly lay down to sleep the effects of the dragon nip off, giving only a small purr to acknowledge Hiccups presence so Hiccup found the most comfortable position he could in the straw mound before attempting to sleep. This interrogation sounded like he was going to need all the strength he had.
