Hey guys! Welcome to my new story BROKEN REALITY, set sometime after HTTYD1 and Gift of the Night Fury. This will split of from the HTTYD timeline MAJORLY during the First Chapter ALONE. Now, I have to give one warning, the OC in this chapter is not a self insert! She's meant to be the villain and I am generally AGAINST self-inserting in fanfics (also, their's the fact that I'm a boy and the villain is meant to be a girl).
Anyway's! This chapter was written FOREVER ago and I only just recently got it beta read by Draconicbeing2.0, who will be beta-reading this story. Also, this story is not gonna be short, the plot is...REALLY long and will take a while to unfold. Also, disclaimer, I am not going to stop character death if the plot calls for it, but that doesn't mean I don't like it in my heart.
Alright, with that said, let's get RIGHT into:
Chapter One: Shattered Lives
There was a dark room lit only with a few candles and a jar filled with poor helpless Fireworm dragons that roared and whined in fear as their oxygen slowly ran out.
Eventually, a red-haired woman walked through the stone-cold iron door and into the room, setting down a jar of ink on a table before sitting down in an old, worn, wooden chair.
The woman opened her amber eyes with a grin, turning to a wall containing pictures of people and things.
"Soon. Soon you will recognize my love, Haddock," The woman mumbled over and over again while staring at a picture of an auburn-haired green eyed Viking.
"B-But first, I'll need to get to you..." The woman said thoughtfully while staring at a picture of an island with a huge mountain and two Viking statues in the water.
"...And rid your life of f-false love," The woman snarled while staring a picture of an absolutely massive man with red hair and a beard, as well as a picture of a blond haired blue eyed girl with an axe and a black scaly dragon.
"...As well as stay within the bounds of my power..." The woman remarked while staring at a list of the eight laws of magic.
THE LAWS OF MAGIC
1) Magic cannot be reversed unless a similar form of magical energy is used.
2) Magic has its own mind, and will not follow your lead to the exact.
3) Magic has a recharge rate. The maximum amount of magic you could use every 24 hours depends on how strong you are, how strong your will is, and how much energy your body has stored it.
4) Magic cannot heal serious injuries like a missing leg but can heal small cuts and bruises.
5) How many people magic can control depends on the health of the magic user. An example is if someone controlling an army with magic was then killed, then the army would be released instantly.
6) Magic can trick the mind and replace or edit memories but cannot outright delete them once they are no longer short term memory.
7) Magic cannot allow someone to transform from species to species but can allow the person to take traits and abilities from certain species, only one specific species at a time.
8) Magic cannot be wielded by just anyone; it requires intense training, mental focus, a strong will and a pre-extensive knowledge of it.
"Alright, best to get to fixing my love and showing him that not everyone cares as much as he THINKS they do," The woman snarled madly and with a few moves of her wrist and pinky finger, she disappeared into thin air.
As the woman from before walked through the Hidden World's many caverns, she smirked smugly while holding tightly onto her leather bag.
"No one knows this place exists. Well, it's useless to most people but excellent for underground travel if you want to avoid...certain humans," The woman said to herself and then stopped when she reached a few huge stalagmites from the stone ceiling.
"Berk should be right above here. Time to get ready," The woman remarked and quickly opened her bag and changed into Berkian style clothes so she could fit in amongst Berk.
She then flicked her wrist twice while making a few symbols with her fingers, and then she disappeared into thin air.
She reappeared above ground, finding herself on a stone island with dead trees and little to no dragons.
"This isn't Berk! This is...Outcast Island...I should have some fun..." She said in realization and then a few Outcast soldiers came and prepared to fire at her.
She rose her hand and whispered a few words as her eyes glowed red. The Outcast soldier's eyes started glowing a bright red.
"You will take me to Alvin. I am a subject of uniqueness that Alvin must see," She whispered with a smile before letting her hand fall down to her side.
The two Outcast soldiers shook their heads, their eyes returning to normal. They looked at the woman from before and growled.
"Alvin needs to see this, quickly! Grab her!" One of the Soldiers commanded and the other grabbed the woman, her smile baring into their souls.
They quickly made it to the Outcast Great Hall, which was a poor man's version of the Berkian Great Hall.
"Sir! We found this girl on the other side of the island! She is different from most people but...we can't figure out why," One of the guards told him and Alvin growled.
"She's just a normal girl! Send her on a raft into the sea. Or better yet, shoot her with a crossbow," Alvin growled and turned to more important matters, but the Outcast guards shook their heads.
"No, she is unique sir! She is..." One of the guards tried saying as the woman slowly materialized two red daggers into existence.
She stabbed the daggers into the throats of the guards, both of them quickly dropping dead on the ground.
"Ok girl, I'll give you credit, I've never seen anyone take down an Outcast that fast. But you won't live to tell the tale!" Alvin yelled and stood up, only for a long red sword to materialize and stab him through the chest.
"You see Alvin, I'm on my way to Berk. And I underestimated how far I needed to travel to get there, so when I ended up here..." She said and then looked up with a smirk.
"I decided to have a little fun before the real work begins on Berk, and I'm afraid that I can't have you interfering," The woman said calmly and Alvin coughed up a lot of blood, his eyes filled with immortal pain.
"What...is y-your...name..." Alvin growled and the woman smirked as she gripped the sword.
"My name...is...Docenda" She responded and slashed her sword up, dissecting Alvin into two.
The halves hit the ground with a thud, blood going everywhere. Docenda just stood there and scoffed while staring at the blood.
"Someone clean that up," She said sarcastically and left, the Outcast's eventually finding their leader dead with no evidence as to who did it.
So the Outcast's were left leaderless as the sunset on a cold day, and everyone shivered in their beds that night, almost knowing that dawn would bring a new world...and not a better one.
The sun rose on a fairly large grass-covered island with a huge snow-capped mountain.
A Great Hall was embedded into the side of the mountain, with a village going out over the rest of the area.
A black figure zoomed through the sky at speeds that made it all but a black blur to anyone watching from the freezing ground below.
Eventually, the 'blur' steadied out far above the blue sea, revealing himself to be a Night Fury and his best friend, a young Viking heir, on his back.
They quickly went into a dive, the wind rushing past them and the Viking leaning down closer to the dragon to reduce the drag.
"WOOOHOOOOOOOOO! FASTER, TOOTHLESS!" The boy yelled at the top of his voice, which was barely loud compared to the wind.
They quickly went high up into the air, Toothless beating his wings so hard he could've crushed a small wooden stand.
Once they reached a height far above the clouds, the young boy spread out his arms and closed his eyes with a deep breath.
Toothless purred and closed his eyes as well, feeling the sunlight warm up his back and the top of his head.
They got higher and higher until the oxygen started running thin, then the human quickly unhooked his vest from Toothless's saddle and jumped...
They both plummeted to Earth in a free-fall dive, both of them smiling side by side as they disappeared through the clouds.
That's when the boy felt a feeling of Deja vu, having done this same thing about a week or two ago after Toothless had given up his freedom...for him. He, Hiccup, and he was still quite surprised with the turn of events.
Hiccup's opinion on the subject was wildly varying, from shock at Toothless's action to sadness at his hard work being undone and Toothless losing his free flight...again.
But if Toothless was happy with his decision, then Hiccup decided he should be happy too.
They quickly got back to flying normally, and both started heading back towards Berk with a sigh.
"I know you want to keep flying all day, and trust me, I do too, but we have responsibilities," Hiccup explained and Toothless groaned while rolling his eyes.
"OI! Don't you do that to me! I'm not the one who made sure we had responsibilities, so if you gonna blame someone, then blame my Dad!" Hiccup defended himself and Toothless snorted as they made their way back to Berk.
But before they could make it over the village, Toothless caught sight of a large number of people gathering around the docks.
The obsidian scaled dragon gestured to the docks with a curious croon, and Hiccup caught sight of the crowd.
"Odd, Trader Johann isn't supposed to show for another month...and no one else is expected..." Hiccup mumbled as they changed course for the docks.
They landed and Hiccup quickly got off Toothless, the both of them making it through the crazy crowd until they found the other Dragon Riders and their dragon friends.
"What's going on? Why's everyone crowding around the docks?" Hiccup asked as he and Toothless joined the gang in staring at a specific spot on the docks.
"Mulch and Bucket found someone unconsciousness on the docks next to a small boat. We don't know how she got here, but..." Fishlegs explained slowly, and Hiccup was confused.
"Wait, someone unconscious on the docks? It's like Trader Johann has brought the famous 'apple pie' from the faraway place known as 'the mainland'," Hiccup remarked, and Astrid scoffed.
"This girl somehow knows your name, my name, Stoick's name, hell, even Toothless's name! But she doesn't know anyone else's names," Astrid told them and Hiccup nodded.
"No wonder everyone's interested. That is quite the mystery," Hiccup said and then they all heard Stoick's booming voice.
"Lass, you need to tell me which tribe you belong to, and what your name is," Stoick asked frustrated. This was the third time he had asked and yet still no answer came from the girl.
"I don't belong to any tribe, and I'll only tell you my name when I'm sure I can trust you," Docenda nearly snarled and Stoick sighed while rubbing his forehead.
That's when Docenda's eyes locked with Hiccup's, and the auburn-haired Dragon Rider felt a chill go down his spine at the weird look in the girl's eyes...
Hiccup quickly turned away and brushed it off, turning to find Toothless growling unsteadily.
"Yeah bud, something's off here...maybe she's a spy for another..." Hiccup started but couldn't finish as the girl talked over them all.
"My tribe is dead, my name is Docenda, and I need somewhere to live," Docenda fake blurted out and hid a small smile when no one was looking.
"Lass, we don't..." Stoick started but Docenda interrupted with a hiss.
"Last time I was in the markets of the east, I heard that Berk was willing to let people like me who are homeless integrate into their village," Docenda remarked and Stoick was confused.
"Yes, we did that...back in the Dragon War, when we needed the extra people to...kill...the dragons. But now that the war's over, we're settling down for a peaceful life," Stoick told her, and she played the hurt puppy look.
"But I've got nowhere else to go. Where else would I stay?" Docenda asked with a hurt tone in her voice while she was really laughing on the inside. This was so fun.
Stoick sighed and closed his eyes, thinking deeply. He could let this person stay on Berk, but what if they turned out to be an Outcast?
"Ok, fine. You can stay with me at my house, as per tradition any visiting person has to stay at the Chief's house," Stoick told her with a grumble. He was changing that tradition as soon as he could.
"Thank you, Stoick. You won't regret it," Docenda responded with a smile, finishing the sentence in her mind with an, "Until I fix everything and show Hiccup true love".
Toothless growled at the girl as she passed, smiling at Hiccup in a...creepy kind of way that made shivers go down Hiccup's back and make Toothless even warier.
"I agree with you bud, something's not right here..." Hiccup quietly told Toothless so no one else would here, but Docenda did and pretended to not hear it.
"Oh, something is wrong here, Hiccup. People are faking their love for you," Docenda whispered to herself as she went towards the Great Hall, thinking no one heard.
But the thing is, Night Furies have the best hearing of anything on the planet, able to hear up to a mile away.
So yeah, Toothless heard. And he was mad that the girl was practically saying he didn't care about Hiccup when he cared about him more than life itself, but he hid it greatly.
He didn't want to upset or make Hiccup stress. The days have already been stressful as is adapting Human and Dragon society into one, and he didn't need another thing added to his plate.
Docenda had been on Berk for one whole week and had become 'friends' with everyone; that is, except Hiccup, Toothless, and Stoick.
Hiccup because he was busy helping out the village almost all of his day, Toothless because he still remembered what she said when she first arrived, and Stoick because he knew the lass wouldn't stay on Berk for long.
Docenda snarled as she hid in a dark room in the Haddock house. Stoick was planning on sending her to a nearby island that was allied with Berk who would take her as a member of their tribe.
She had one shot to get rid of Stoick, and she knew it would open the window to get Astrid, and then, saving the strongest one for last, Toothless.
So, she used her magic to mind control a Terrible Terror, which was easy considering that those specific dragons were known not to have the strongest wills.
"You will deliver this paper to Stoick, and you will do so today," She whispered into the Terror's ear as she gave him a piece of paper.
The Terror nodded and then shook its head before flying off with the paper in his talons, Docenda smirking as she watched the Terror become a speck in the distance.
She just had to wait, and all would work itself out.
Stoick and Hiccup had been discussing something about the Dragons and food for the winter when a squawk came from above and a piece of paper landed at Stoick's feet.
The Chief picked up the piece of paper, unrolling it and starting to read it as Hiccup got curious.
"What does it say?" Hiccup asked and Stoick looked up with a frown.
"It's Oswald, Chief of the Berserkers. He says he's stranded on an island somewhere and that he needs my help to return safely to Berserker Island, and that he bribed this Terror to deliver his note in exchange for fish," Stoick told Hiccup and the boy shook his head.
"It might be a trap. He might just be baiting you away from Berk," Hiccup said, hitting the truth dead on. If only he knew it wasn't Oswald who was really doing the baiting.
"I know, but Oswald and I go way back, Son. Plus, the Berserker's have been at peace with Berk for the past 30 or so years. I have to help him," Stoick told him and Hiccup sighed.
"Then let me and Toothless come with you. We could help in the search and rescue," Hiccup told Stoick, and Docenda snarled from an alleyway nearby.
If Stoick took Hiccup and the Night Fury with him, then she would have to wait until all three returned to get to Toothless. Of course, she would have a shot at Astrid easily, but still, it would make her life so much more difficult.
"No Son, you need to stay and take care of Berk. It's your responsibility as a Haddock and future Chief," Stoick answered determinedly and Hiccup sighed. As much as he wanted to come along...Stoick was right.
"Alright Dad, I'll stay here and take care of Berk...just...be careful alright?" Hiccup asked and Stoick smiled with a nod.
"I'll be just fine. When am I not?" Stoick joked as Hiccup smiled and walked off, Toothless coming up and Stoick getting serious.
"Toothless, protect my son, just in case..." Stoick asked and Toothless nodded determinedly, not that he already wasn't protecting Hiccup.
Stoick got on a boat later that day and went off on his search, and no one noticed Docenda laughing from a hill nearby.
Her life just became a whole lot easier.
It was late at night, and Astrid was sitting in her room polishing her axe with a piece of cloth when Docenda walked in with a grin.
"Docenda, what are you..." Astrid began in frustration but stopped when she saw Docenda's glowing red eyes. A beam of red light then encompassed her vision as Docenda walked over and touched Astrid's forehead.
Astrid felt like she couldn't move. Her entire body was locked up and her heart-rate skyrocketed as Docenda moved closer.
"Astrid Fearless Hofferson, you do not love Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third, and you never will," Docenda snarled while doing some magic gestures and Astrid's eyes went wide in fear.
"Please...no..." Astrid whispered and Docenda sent a bright red pulse right into Astrid's head, and the teen fell unconscious.
Docenda knew that using that kind of magic on Astrid had weakened her power, but she knew it would work in showing Hiccup the truth while she waited for her strength to return so she could end it all with Toothless.
Docenda smirked happily and quickly left before anyone would find her, and when Astrid Hofferson woke up she knew one new thing. She did not love Hiccup Haddock.
Toothless had been eating out of a big pile of fish when it happened; he heard a few yells in the distance and the sound of crying coming in his direction.
And before the dragon had time to process what the sounds meant, Hiccup wrapped his skinny arms around Toothless neck and hugged the dragon with a loud sob.
The sobs continued as Hiccup's chest heaved up and down, struggling to breathe as he cried enough to flood Berk.
Toothless was still in shock. He was eating three seconds ago and now Hiccup was hugging him while crying extremely loudly.
"S-she broke up with me...s-she hates me..." Hiccup choked out between sobs and sniffles as he continued hugging onto Toothless like a baby clinging to its mother for emotional support.
Toothless was still frozen in shock for about three seconds before he realized that he didn't have time to figure out what happened. Hiccup needed him.
Toothless quickly moved down to where he was lying flat against the ground, feeling the cold stone against his velvet underbelly.
The Night Fury used his paws to pull Hiccup against his chest and belly, cradling the Viking in a way similar to when he saved Hiccup from the inferno caused by the Red Death nearly a year ago.
Eventually, Hiccup curled up against the dragon's velvet chest and underbelly, burying his face into Toothless's chest as tears streamed out.
"Thank you..." Hiccup whispered weakly to Toothless, who purred in response as he closed his wings, paws, and tail around Hiccup.
Hiccup quickly fell asleep, and Toothless stayed awake watching the Berkians and snarling at them when they tried to wake Hiccup.
Everyone found the display a mix between sad and heartwarming. It proved that Toothless really cared a lot about Hiccup to some of the doubters, which there definitely were amongst the nearly four hundred person tribe.
But Docenda was not impressed. In fact, she was angry. She wanted the Night Fury gone so Hiccup could have true family and love and friends and everything.
Docenda wanted to go over there and stab the Night Fury right through the back, but she restrained herself for two reasons.
One, if she did, Hiccup would KILL her no matter how long it took or how much it took to get to her.
And two, she would rather let her powers remain a secret, and plus, she couldn't even anyways because her powers were too weak to do anything at the moment.
So, she sneered and ran off, making sure that she would wait for the perfect opportunity...and then strike.
It had been three weeks, three weeks, and Hiccup and Toothless were closer than ever before.
Relying on each other, panicking when the other was not around, and even going as far as Hiccup moving his bed as close to Toothless's as possible so neither of them had nightmares.
Hiccup's heart had practically been on display for the world to see, and Toothless wrapped his scaled body around it to protect him from heartbreak.
But Docenda was not just angry, no, she was PISSED. She wanted the Night Fury GONE so Hiccup would finally get what he deserved, a true person who cared for and LOVED him.
So, she waited until the perfect moment. Hiccup and Toothless were both in the living room of the Haddock house, eating silently and enjoying the other's company.
Docenda was peeking through an outside window; she grinned and prepared her magic while staring at Toothless.
She knew what to do. It was a simple plan, but would work even if she disagreed with it a little because it meant Hiccup had to be hurt.
Basically, she was gonna use her magic to make Toothless hurt Hiccup, not kill him but attack him enough that the Berkians thought that he was dangerous and thus, would ship him away.
As much as she wanted to just mind control everyone on Berk and force them to get rid of the Night Fury, magic had its limits, and she could only control one or maybe two people at a time without sustaining physical injuries.
So, she sent a red beam of magic towards Toothless, the pair oblivious as the beam went right towards the Night Fury's obsidian scaled head.
And then Docenda screamed as the magic didn't work and backfired, going right into her and sending her flying from the window and towards the Great Hall.
Eventually, Docenda got up with a bloody nose and bruised body, a snarl finding its way onto her face as she realized what had happened.
"That dragon is one of the Deus Dragons," Docenda snarled with a huff. She quickly snuck into the Haddock house and went upstairs while growling under her breath.
The Deus Dragons were literal descendants of the Gods themselves, each one with hidden powers and abilities and knowledge beyond others. And they were also the only creatures in the universe immune to any form of mental magic.
There was exactly five Deus Dragons, each controlling a unique aspect of reality.
The dragon of strength, able to level mountains with a single push.
The dragon of magic and lightning, able to control both at his very whim to protect those he loves.
The dragon of love and hate, who spread both throughout the world.
The dragon of time, who watched over time with an all-seeing eye.
And finally, the dragon of wisdom, who carried immortal knowledge to help the other Deus dragons.
But the fact was that three out of the five were DEAD, all hunted down by Humans with magic. Magic couldn't mess with Deus dragon's minds, but could still kill them physically.
The only two who survived where the dragon of lightning and magic and the dragon of wisdom, both going on different paths.
The dragon of lightning and magic was rumored to have found a mate and given birth a dragon who would take his place in the future, but none of this was confirmed.
The dragon of wisdom, however, went on a different path, seeking isolation and helping those who needed his guidance when the time was right.
Docenda knew that Toothless couldn't be the dragon of wisdom, so that only left one option, and it made Docenda's fear grow in intensity.
Toothless must be the son of the dragon lightning and magic, who must be dead, considering that if he was alive he would be keeping a close eye on his son.
And that made Docenda want to get Toothless off of Berk even more now, because if that dragon was one of the Deus Dragons, then she was in deep trouble if he discovered just what he is and what he can DO.
Docenda had a plan. It was dirt simple and cheap, and Hiccup would figure it out quickly and Toothless even more so.
But so long as the dragon was FAR away from Berk and her then she was okay with going through with it.
She quickly picked a random Berkian, using her magic to give them Night Fury claws and teeth, but not fire. She then used her magic to take over their mind and command them like a puppet on a string.
"Attack Hiccup, but do not kill him," She commanded, and the Berkian nodded before running off, grabbing Hiccup from the Great Hall, and dragging him into an alley.
Docenda was lucky. She knew she was, as Toothless was busy nearby trying to sort out a mess with the other dragons. Toothless needed to arrive just AFTER she left but BEFORE the Berkians found Hiccup.
After all, the blame needed to fall on the Night Fury. It had to work.
"What are you doing?! What's wrong with you? Why do you look like that...stop...stop! STOP! PLEASE!" Hiccup yelled as the Berkian slammed him into walls, using claws and teeth to injure and rough him up badly.
The injuries were not severe, but definitely bad enough to make them serious.
The Berkian left and Docenda changed them back to normal while wiping their short-term memory so they had no memory of the event.
She was going to wipe Hiccup's mind of the memory or change the memory all together but she could hear Toothless literally BLURRING through the village and towards Hiccup.
She ran while using her teleportation, leaving Hiccup battered and beaten in the alley with injuries that came from Night Fury claws and teeth, but not Toothless.
Not that the Berkians would be able to tell the difference.
Toothless was sprinting through Berk at a speed he never thought possible. In under a minute he found himself at a dark alleyway off to the side, away from the shops and the forge.
Toothless heard a deep moan come from the alleyway, and Toothless's blood froze as he placed the voice imminently.
It was Hiccup, and he was HURT.
Toothless ran into the alleyway with a cry of sorrow and worry, and then froze when his eyes found Hiccup.
The young Viking had four talons like marks going down his chest from near the base of his neck down to his waistline, and the claw marks... was that of a Night Fury.
That was not the only Night Fury related injury on Hiccup. There were multiple cuts and bruises and broken bones all over Hiccup.
Toothless first thought was that of a guilty one, did he do this? No, he couldn't have, he was with the other dragons the whole time.
No, someone else must have done this. Someone...Docenda.
Toothless swore he would find Docenda and make sure she paid dearly, but right now Hiccup needed him more.
He came over and whined, nudging Hiccup while praying that the young Viking was still alive.
Hiccup moaned and opened his eyes weakly, staring into Toothless's worried and deeply panicked emerald-like green eyes.
"Tooth...less..." Hiccup moaned out while trying to roll onto his side, only to clutch his chest in pain as blood stained his dark green shirt.
Toothless whined and licked Hiccup, trying to clean up the blood but the Viking was too weak to stand or even call for help.
"Toothless...I'm...g-get...Gothi..." Hiccup moaned before collapsing from blood loss, Toothless's cries being the last thing that meets his ears.
When Hiccup woke up, he was in a dark, cold place with no sound meeting his ears and pain filling his entire body head to toes...well, the toes he had on his remaining foot.
Hiccup coughed, slowly working up the strength and getting up, his chest was covered in bandages and his entire frame was weak.
"T-Toothless...G-Gothi...Gobber? Anyone?" Hiccup asked into the darkness only to receive no answer except the coldness meeting his skin.
Hiccup slowly got up, weakly and shakily. He hobbled over to the door on one foot and slowly worked it open to hear voices, a few words like Night Fury and boat meeting his ears.
"Hello...wh-what...what's...going on," Hiccup mumbled as Gobber, Gothi, Docenda, Astrid, Fishlegs, and a few others helped him stand.
"Don't worry Hiccup, you'll be alright. Gothi here fixed up your chest and your leg and your arms and...well, everything," Gobber explained and Hiccup looked around, not spotting Toothless anywhere.
"Where...where's Tooth...Toothless..." Hiccup moaned while leaning against the door frame, and Gobber looked away as Docenda stood up.
"He attacked you Hiccup. He was the one who injured you. Went feral, so we sent him off the island on a raft," Docenda told him, and Hiccup couldn't help but hear PLEASURE in her voice.
"No...no, tell me this is a prank. Haha prank the Hiccup before Loki Day..." Hiccup mumbled in panic while nearly stumbling and falling over.
"Docenda's right. Toothless attacked yah and nearly gave you some life-threatening injuries...so we sent him away. We were gonna wait till you woke up so you could say goodbye, but...he had to go," Gobber stated sadly and Hiccup had tears in his eyes.
"No, Toothless didn't attack me. It was a Berkian. I VIVIDLY remember a Berkian attacking me...it wasn't Toothless...he's innocent, someone else..." Hiccup mumbled and Fishlegs sighed.
"Poor Hiccup, he must be trying to deny it. Honestly, I would probably do the same if I was him," Fishlegs told them sadly and Hiccup nearly burst out in tears of sadness and anger.
"No! Toothless is innocent! I have to get on a Dragon and go find him, rescue him, bring him home..." Hiccup mumbled and trying moving, only for Gobber and Gothi to hold him back.
"Hiccup, you're injured and need rest to properly heal. Plus, we sent Toothless out on the raft two weeks ago. He's probably already...gone," Gobber told him while giving his apprentice a sad and pitying look.
"No, he...he can't...no...no...Toothless...no..." Hiccup mumbled while collapsing to the ground, tears running down his cheeks and face as the full reality of it hit him.
Toothless was probably dead, never to come back. Astrid did not love him and DESPISED him with a passion. And his father had not come back from his search yet...
It was almost as if time had been reversed, and he was back in the middle of the Dragon War, no Toothless, Astrid hating him, his Father on searches for something.
Docenda reached out a hand to comfort Hiccup. This was her chance to show Hiccup TRUE LOVE.
But the Viking swiped her hand away with a cry, before slamming the door in all of their faces before crying on the floor in a heap.
Gods, he'd had a taste of family, of love, of friendship...and now he was alone again.
It was all gone. His life had been reset back to the pre-Toothless days and now those days he had spent with Toothless were never coming back...
Gods, Hiccup never wanted more than ever for his father to return, or for this all to turn out to be a bad dream.
But it wouldn't, this was the true reality, and it was not the life he had wanted or loved.
Aright, that's it for Chapter One! ALSO! MAJOR NOTE! TOOTHLESS IS STILL ALIVE! (Sings Still Alive in my head). Toothless is one of the main characters (In fact, he and Stoick are gonna be sharing a lot of 'screen time' in this fanfic, mainly in the middle) alongside Stoick and Hiccup. Also, if you hate Docenda, then I've succeeded in making a character which everyone SHOULD hate, you HAVE to hate her. And if you don't, trust me, you will before Act One's even over.
With that said, this story is gonna be a bit...darker than most of my other stories (And if your asking about Finding Home, two words, Writer's Block) and a bit more...action and drama filled. I feel like this one could be my best story, if executed right.
Alright, with that said, I have to go. There is writing to be written and research to be conducted.
This is JustANormalHTTYDFan, over and out.
