Just in case you don't know (you probably do, though), in most Native American tales of Shapeshifters call them "Skinwalkers."

I can only imagine how shocked Stoick is right now. He doesn't even know that his wife and second son have been living as dragons for more than ten years, yet.

Wow, nice chapter. Please update again soon, I can't wait to read Stoick's reaction when he learns that Val is a dragon.

Well, I must say that I really have enjoyed this story so far, You really did a big plot twist that I do not expected, good work.
I think that the handling of the characters in the story is well done and that makes the story more enjoyable to read, I see that you put a lot of work to give a personality, That is not easy; I started to like Valhallamara, she is a really complex character, outside she is unmerciful, ruthless and appear to only care about strenght but that hides what is inside, a depply sense of loss, anger and betrayal but not hate, and at the end a good mother and wife; I really want see what will happen when Stoick know the truth
The pace is good, not to rushed nor too slow I think that part Is a strong point to your story, The only thing that I think that you must improve is that you need to be a little more careful with the grammar mistakes, English is not my mother tongue and I am not very good at it, but I could detect some of them
I hope that you keep that good work with your crazy plot twists and I think a lot of people are waiting to see what happens next

Now I have to say first off I enjoy this story. Started reading it this week. However, one thing does bother me, and I'll say it as a compliment, since the only reason it bothers me is the care and previous solid logic you have been using throughout this story.

I understand the arrows interacting with the magic in a person's body, however, by all occasions I can't understand why Hiccup is not able to heal the damage, Essentially, Hiccup was in the same boat as Alvin when he got struck by one, Yet Alvin still healed, slowly yes but he still healed up, or at least it's implied that he does, since he's still a "threat". Why is it Alivin gets only his flesh eaten away along the arm, while Hiccup, who has less flesh than Alvin, is reduced to that state?

It makes even less sense when I think that perhaps you went with the possibility that it was a "Toothless" like situation, in which the king completed the transformation not just by damage but by his own magic, and thus the spell could be counteracted and it would thus revert him to human, but this theory has problems too. Mainly the fact that even as a full Night Fury, Hiccup retained the ability to heal quickly., meaning that even under his spell the original potion still had an effect.

It would of course be said it was the placement, as getting hit on the arm is less devastating than getting hit in the guts, and logic would tell me that he needed the attention because he could not heal fast enough, but Hiccup received a lot of devastating injuries during the course of this story, he's been roasted alive, had a sword stuck almost through him from the back, had both his legs chopped of, his buttocks chopped off and his eye mutilated to name a few.

Unless I'm assuming wrong? Is it when you say that Hiccup had healed enough to be stable you did not mean he was healed by the other dragons, but instead that his potion kicked in? If that is the case then what was this bargain accomplishing really save for some un-due pain? (Once again I point out that he's no stranger to pain...?) Perhaps it could be said it was a way out for Astrid & Co..., but then what is Camicazi for...?

Of course, usually I would say: "It's magic, don't question it." But that is a drastic difference form the solid format of logic throughout the rest of the story, hence, like I said, the only reason I am fussing over this anyway.

About the closest theory I can think of is the last, that the damage done was rather severe due to placement and that while the potion was still in effect, would not heal him fast enough, (Or was assumed so. ) Perhaps no one wanted him to heal up with DRAGON INNARDS inside a Hiccup body, which would be far more awkward than just having mismatched feet...and more painful.

It all comes down to whether Hiccup still has this ability to heal or not...and it's affliction thus, I'm inclined towards still having it. Not because I want him to suffer any, but because I believe he still has the need for it.

Besides this however, I did like this chapter's pace. Not too rushed or too slow, and I would like to offer late encouragement on the plot twist, though to me it did not feel like one. It felt rather more like it was supposed to go that way. I was very happy to see it.

I'm SO confused! But I've got a theory, the King has psychic powers and can see glimpses of the future and saw that if he let them go the future for both species would be bright. P.S. If/when you have Stoick learn what happened to Val why don't you have him try to kill himself as payment? P.S.S If you decide to make a sequel to this story involving our favorite teenager psycho(Daggur) could you try to add some other transformations like werewolves, fishmen, etc? I think it'd be really cool. I'm also o.k. with whatever you decide.

I know that the king is just misguided since he thinks of humans as dumb creatures.
