I'm back! Thank you all for your kind messages about me taking twice as long to update. I really appreciate it, and I hope you'll enjoy this chapter :)

Full synopsis:

After five years of relentlessly putting up a siege against the Red Death, Hiccup, the former terrorist known as the Phantom of the Arena, has finally defeated the Archipelago's greatest enemy, putting a definitive end to the dragon raids. Hoping the worst is finally behind him, he returns to Berk, only to find he left more behind than just the girl he loved. And that life still isn't done with him.

Outside of the Archipelago, Eret, son of Eret, is left with nothing after a mysterious dragon rider destroys his fort and releases the captured dragons his employer sorely needed. Fearing he'll be killed if he doesn't, he flees to the Archipelago with what little remains, hoping to find employment in the dragon-infested area. But the threat seems to have followed him, as news spreads of how Berk's infamous Phantom has returned to reclaim what's his. And that people like Eret will never be safe, unless they act against him.

The Phantom of the Archipelago

Today is the day. In about two hours we'll get to read the first chapter of the sequel of The Phantom of the Arena! I wanted to do something for this special occasion, because I am so in love with the Phantomverse, as we should call it. So this one is for you, @aleteia-ff !

So yeah, I did a costest for Astrid, I am still a bit surprised how it turned out. For her I used as inspiration canon Momstrid, but as the developers once told: Astrids bangs are her way of hiding her personality. In canon, Hiccup helps her personality come out and by the end of the franchise (the epilogue), her bangs are just mere frizzes. However, in Phantomverse, not only does Hiccup not help her personality come out, she gets abandoned by him. However, she gets Hamish and he does help her personality. So yeah, inspired by canon Momstrid, with my personal interpretation.

In the poster Astrid looks to a better and brighter future, with Hamish and Hiccup on Berk, as a family.

I used this other picture of Phantomcup I had, because it's my favourite picture of that set. Also, it gives the other tone of the story, the angst, as one would call it.

"He's here, the Phantom of the Archipelago!"

Okay, can I just say that it's VERY WEIRD to talk about this poster and see very clearly that it is me^2?

Welcome back everyone! Really excited to post this chapter and I hope you'll enjoy it :) There's a rather important author note regarding my update schedule at the bottom, I'd appreciate it if you took the time to read it after you've finished the chapter.

Full synopsis:

After five years of relentlessly putting up a siege against the Red Death, Hiccup, the former terrorist known as the Phantom of the Arena, has finally defeated the Archipelago's greatest enemy, putting a definitive end to the dragon raids. Hoping the worst is finally behind him, he returns to Berk, only to find he left more behind than just the girl he loved. And that life still isn't done with him.

Welcome back everyone, we're finally here with the chapter you've all been waiting for: Hiccstrid, seeing each other again. I know it's been quite a while and probably longer than most of you expected, but I hope you understand why I structured the story in this way and placed some other events before this one.

I hope you are all still doing well even though the world is still crazy. I am personally still doing fine, thanks to those of you who ask in the comments :)

Enjoy!

Welcome back everyone! Thank you once again for all your lovely replies and reviews, it means the world to me that you're all still here and invested in how this story is progressing 3

To give a bit of a perspective: After this chapter, there are 2 more chapters to go in what I refer to as Act 1, which revolves around Hiccup's arrival on Berk and the set-up of what will come next. And I'm very excited to start showing that in Act 2, from Chapter 13 onwards!

After five years of relentlessly putting up a siege against the Red Death, Hiccup, the former terrorist known as the Phantom of the Arena, has finally defeated the Archipelago's greatest enemy, putting a definitive end to the dragon raids.

Please find a Six Sentence Preview of the next chapter of The Phantom of the Archipelago, Chapter 13: Takes One To Know One, below!

------

Hiccup definitely, certainly, completely should have known he was going to get in trouble for this. There really hadn’t been any other way this would turn out, but desperation was a clear motivator. And whenever he sat down to reevaluate his life, he always ended up at the conclusion that he was a massive idiot.

But the man’s wallet had been right there, and judging by his posture, he could definitely do with a little less feeding. And Hiccup could put his money to much, much better use.

So he rounded another corner, cursing as his feet started to ache, his mediocre shoes giving out under the pressure of his many ill-informed decisions.

Welcome everyone to this story, which is the sequel to The Phantom of the Arena! While the plot of the first story was very much inspired on that of the musical, The Phantom of the Opera, this story will not be following the plot of the sequel to that musical, Love Never Dies. Instead, this is a story I've come up with myself, based on the many consequences of the events of the first story.

I thoroughly hope you enjoy this one as well! It will be updated on Saturday around 6 PM Central European (Summer) Time, once every two weeks.

Full synopsis:

After five years of relentlessly putting up a siege against the Red Death, Hiccup, the former terrorist known as the Phantom of the Arena, has finally defeated the Archipelago's greatest enemy, putting a definitive end to the dragon raids. Hoping the worst is finally behind him, he returns to Berk, only to find he left more behind than just the girl he loved. And that life still isn't done with him.

Outside of the Archipelago, Eret, son of Eret, is left with nothing after a mysterious dragon rider destroys his fort and releases the captured dragons his employer sorely needed. Fearing he'll be killed if he doesn't, he flees to the Archipelago with what little remains, hoping to find employment in the dragon-infested area.

Hi guys! So glad to be back again and I hope you're all doing fine, and you're safe, despite all the confusing and difficult stuff that's going on in the world right now. I'm doing alright as the company I started working at two weeks ago allows me to work from home.

Also a bit of an explanation regarding that from my side; the reason that I'm only updating once every two weeks, and that chapters might sometimes be shorter than you guys were used to towards the end of Phantom1, is because I've started working 40 hours a week. So I simply can't write as much as I used to. Hence, I prefer to update more slowly, but still regularly over updating a lot in one period and then having to go on hiatus. If it turns out that I write quicker than planned after all, I can always start updating more. So that's just so you guys know where that's coming from. Currently I still have enough buffer to be able to guarantee updates for the next months.

Thank you so much for all your love and support so far! I'm especially happy about the positive responses to Eret's storyline :) I hope you enjoy this update!
