Disclaimer: I don't own HTTYD

Hi everyone! So I was inspired to write this story, after reading another story that has sadly not be updated in awhile, where Hiccup is an older brother. However, hile that story only gave him one little brother. Here he has two brothers and two sisters, all younger than him. Magnus (1 year younger than him), Anja (2 years younger than him) and the twins Sigrid and Siggurd (3 years younger than him) So yeah, enjoy.

Prologue

Valka hummed as she cleared the table with two year old Anja following after her, Anja's right hand clutched the fabric of her mother's skirt tightly whilst she sucked on her left thumb. Valka turned and chuckled softly, before kneeling before her daughter. The chieftess, gently removed her hand and brushed some of her auburn hair back.

" Anja, what have we said about the thumb sucking." Said Valka, with a gentle chuckle. Anja immediately wiped her thumb on her skirt, before hiding her hands behind her back. Which only served to make her mother laugh, lately she had been trying to break her daughter out of the habit of sucking her thumb...with minimal success. She had tried everything, from ice, to salt, to even a substance that Mrs. Hofferson recommended...with no results. Even so, she smiled and gently kissed the top of her daughter's head. Both looked up, when Hiccup cried out in pain. Three year old Magnus was on top of his brother, and holding his arm pinned behind his backwhilst the other was over his head. The four year old's face, was on the floorboard, and he screamed as his brother's full weight was on him.

" Magnus, get off your brother." Chastised Valka, making Magnus grumble as he did so. Hiccup sniffed, and tried hard not to cry from the pain. Valka went over, and tried to inspect any damage. Magnus rolled his eyes as his mother immediately began to coddle his brother, honestly why did mommy like Hiccup better he wondered? Maybe if he wasn't such a big stupid baby, and could handle getting hurt his mom might actually pay attention to him instead.

" Are you alright son?" Asked Valka softly, as four year old Hiccup nodded. She gently kissed the bruise on his forehead, and ran a hand through his hair. " There now it's alright."

" Magnus was being a bully and -"

"No I wasn't!" Exclaimed Magnus, before his brother had the chance to explain himself. Both boys immediately quieted and looked down, as Valka stood and placed her hands on her hips.

" Boys, enough. You're brothers, you're supposed to take care of each other not make each other cry. Magnus, you know Hiccup may be older than you but he's much smaller than you. Hiccup, you're the older brother, whose supposed to set an example not tattle." Reprimanded Valka, both boys turned to each other as their mother sighed and her features softened, she knelt down and placed her hand on their shoulders. " Boys listen, being a viking is an occupational hazard, and the both of you have to look out for one another. You're both brothers, and that means being there for each other, taking care of each other, and not antagonizing each other."

Hiccup nodded, and looked down, before sighing.

"Ok mommy." Said Hiccup as Magnus looked away. His eyes narrowed slightly, as his mother hugged Hiccup and he shook his head. Anja turned and ignoring the two boys as she toddled over to the window. The toddler tilted her head to the side, when she saw a shadow in the air. She giggled, and pointed upwards.

"Dragin!" Exclaimed Anja, pointing upwards.

"It's dragon, Anja." Said Magnus, as Valka went over to the window, green eyes went wide as the alarm was sounded and the torches were lit. Outside, screaming could be heard as the vikings of Berk ran out of their homes to kill the dragons. Valka winced, as she also heard the pained growls and roars of dragons getting slaughtered. These were intelligent and thoughtful creatures, they didn't deserve this. Even so, she steeled her nerves and turned to the three children.

" Hiccup, take your brother and sister upstairs to the nursery with the twins. Stay there, until you hear me or your father come home." Ordered Valka, as she handed the two year old Anja to her brother. Hiccup, held his sister as she immediately wrapped both arms around his neck tightly. The eldest nodded, before hurrying upstairs followed by Magnus. The two of them rushed to the nursery, when they heard a crash. Anja screamed and began crying, whilst Magnus charged at the beast. Immediately Hiccup, let go of his sister and set her down, before running to his brother. The dragon growled and began making its way towards the twins' crib with wide curious eyes. Magnus was held back by Hiccup, who stood protectively before the crib. His heart beating faster and faster, as he hyperventilated slightly. His knees wobbled and he glanced at the dragon with big fearful eyes. The dragon tilted it's head to the side.

" Mama!" Cried Anja, as Valka appeared with sword in hand ready to defend her children. She stopped, and lowered her sword, when she saw the dragon not even attempting to hurt her sons. Moreover, it was just cooing at them slightly. Hiccup stood there, caught in the giant lizard's gaze. Trying to keep still, as his brother was struggling. Curious, it gently placed a claw up to them though as Magnus was struggling, he lurched slightly and cried out as it scratched near his eye as well as Hiccup's chin. Both boys cried out, and Valka was interrupted from her thoughts as instincts kicked in and she rushed at it. The viking gasped, the dragon came up to her and met her gaze looking at her with those big eyes that looked into her soul.

The woman began to lower her sword, when an ax swung between them and in a flash of fire and claws the beast grabbed her. Valka cried out for Stoick, who could only watch as his wife was taken away from him. The chief let out a roar of pain and grief, as he sank to his knees. He clenched his hands tightly into fists, before grabbing all of his children and escaping the burning building. He stood there, as men came and took out the fires though Stoick said nothing as his children cried in his arms. Their mother had been taken..she was gone. Hiccup escaped his father's grasp, and ran...before looking up at the dragons.

"Mama!" He cried out as the tears streamed down his face.

" Papa, where mama?" Asked Anja, as she and Magnus looked up at Stoick, who now held the two babies in his arms. The man sighed softly, and gently placed a hand on his daughter's shoulder.

" She's gone...but...not to worry, papa will find her and bring her home...I promise." Said Stoick, as he looked up and glared at the horde of dragons flying into the air. He would show no mercy to the beings, he swore that night he would find every dragon's nest he could and find her. He'd bring her home, no matter how long that took.
