HICCUP'S POV
" Hey gobber." I say as I walk into the forge. "Aye ga monin 'iccup." he replies to me with a joyful smile. Gobber Has looked after me since i was 6 and is like a second father to me since my real one is always busy with the village. " 'appy birthday mah boy." he says holding out a wrapped object. I take the object into my hands and unwrap it. what lays in my hand is the most beautiful sword i have ever seen. "it's a kitanna, i got it from johann he said only royals carry these weapons with them in the land where it comes from." gobber says to me. It is made of a type of steel that is black in color and i can tell that it was folded hundreds of times when it was being forged. Its hilt is covered in a black cloth that acts as a grip. " johann also told me that it is folded 1000 times till it is the perfect shape, strength, and sharpness." gobber says as i look at him with tears in my eyes. " Thank you gobber."i say as i hug him and wipe my eyes. " No problem mah boy now i don't do this often but since it is your birthday i will give you the day off now get going." He says to me with a smile and handing me the weapons sheath thats is also black with a red cloth attached to it towards the opening so i can tie it to my hip and i do just that. I then leave to go show my father my new weapon. i unconsciously rest my left hand on the hilt of my new weapon. "huh this is oddly comfortable." I think to myself. that is when i rounded a corner and fell face first into the dirt because something tripped me. that's when i heard the voice i have grew to despise over the years. " ah there's my favorite cousin we've been looking for you." taunted my annoying ass cousin snotlout. as i stood up to look at him i noticed that all of his friends were there, that included the twins tuffnut and ruffnut, fishlegs, and astrid. astrid and fishlegs never really part took in the abuse they would just look on neither doing anything. " what is that?" asked astrid suddenly pointing to my sword. " it's a kitanna that gobber gave me for my birthday." i replied. " what the hell is a kitanna ?" asked snotlout. " in the land it comes from it is only given to royalty." i tell them. " ha then i think it belongs to me then doesn't it?" snotlout said. " what?" i ask. " Well obviously it belongs to me because we all know that i am going to be made chief useless." he taunted. i looked down in shame. That's when i heard it. " Fight." i heard a female voice said. i looked up and it is as if the whole world froze. "whats going on?" i ask myself. "fight." i heard behind me i turned around to find a young girl there that looked about my age with dark blood red hair with the same colored eyes but they were slitted. she was also wearing a weird dress like thing that came to her ankles and the sleeves covered her hands. " who are you?" i asked her. gods she was drop dead gorgeous. " I am known as shirayuki though judging by your appearance, and the surroundings i am no longer in japan." she said. "Japan?" i asked. " japan is of little importance at the moment. for now i want you to tell me your name young one." she stated. I scoffed " young one? judging by your appearance you are the same age me." i stated sarcastically. She giggled gods that was cute. "your funny, yes i look your age but i've been trapped in that sword for the past hundred years." she told me. " The sword? You mean this one?" I ask holding it up. " yes that one. now i'm going to ask this one more time. what is your name." she stated. " umm hiccup that's my name." i said looking down. "why such a degrading name?" she asked as i heard her walking closer to me. " Yeah it's part of tradition to name the runt of the litter hiccup." i state. "well they are wrong to name you such a name for i see no runt but a young man that restricts himself for the fear of that if you fight back the torment would be made worse if you lose." she says lifting my head so that our eyes meet. gods those beautiful eyes. " gods you're beautiful" i accidentally say. she instantly blushes but smiles. i already love that smile. " thank you hiccup. Now let me ask you something. do you want to fight?" she asks. i look in her eyes with courage and nod. " do you want power?" she asks. " yes" i say confidently. "What will you do with the power that you want?" she asks once more. " i would fight for the weak, protect those who need protecting, fight for my beliefs and destroy any one who stands in my way with no mercy." I sate resolutely. she looks in my eyes deeply and smiles once more. " then i shall grant you my power and my loyalty." she states as she suddenly kisses me. i was stunned at first and the accepted it and that when i felt it. An unimaginable pain shot through my chest. i opened my eyes and noticed that time seemed to resume as i yelled in pain clutching my chest.
Regular pov
Snotlout and his group of friends backed up as hiccup suddenly screamed in pain clutching his chest. Though in the scream was the roar of a monster that everyone heard and when every person in the village heard it their blood ran cold. Though there was shock everyone ran to where the scream/roar was originating from. what they say struck fear in their hearts. what they saw was hiccup clutching his chest and screaming/roaring into the sky. Then a pair of black snakes with yellow eyes shot out of the ground and wrapped themselves around his arms. This is when Stoick and Gobber made it to the front of the crowd to see what was happening. what they saw made the immediately stop. "What is going on what Happened?!" Stoick yelled. Astrid came forward. "we don't know he suddenly clutched his chest and started screaming then those snakes shot up and wrapped themselves around his arms." she told him with tears in her eyes. they all looked at hiccup and were shocked when the snakes ripped off his sleeve on his tunic and dissolved into tattoos on his arms. that's when it got truly terrifying. Silence. deafning silence is what followed. there in the middle of the crwd stood hiccup breathimg heavily with those snake tattoos. Stoick slowly approached him but stopped when hiccup suddenly snapped his eyes open. what they saw made everyone gasp. his eyes were slitted and as he looked around his eyes locked on to snotlout. "Snotlout" he said with acid in his voice. " w-what do you want usele-" he started but was inturupted by the hand on his throat. "you will do well not to cal me that again unless you want to die." hiccup said lifting snotlout off the ground by his throat. This made everyone gasp because the fish bone was lifting a boy twice his size. " Son stop what you are doing right now!" yelled stoick. Hiccup smirked. " as you wish." he said with no emotion as he slammed snotlout into the ground cracking it and knocking him out. he then faced his father and smiled. " im leaving." hiccup stated. "good i will see you at home." said stoick. hiccup stopped once again and turned to face his father. " no im leaving berk." he stated with many gasps from the crowd. "what!? why!?" yelled astrid. He Faced her with an evil smile that sent chills good and bad Through her body. "Because as i am now i can only kill half of this tribe before dying." he said as he jumped onto a roof. " Hiccup What is the meaning of this and what do you mean killing half of this tribe this is also your tribe." stoick yelled. just then even more shock appeared on peoples faces as a girl with blood red hair with slitted red eyes appeared behind hiccup out of thin air and draped her arms around his shoulders. "Master can we go now im bored." she asked. "of course we can shirayuki just give me a sec." He said then kissed her on the lips lightly. " PEOPLE OF BERK TODAY MARKS THE DAY OF A NEW WAR YOU WILL HAVE TO FACE. I LEAVE TO DAY WITH THE PROMISE THAT I WILL RETURN TO NOT ONLY BRING WAR BUT THE DESTRUCTION OF ALL BERK." he yelled. just as he finished a black blur flew in and grabbed him and the girl and flew off. as eveyone watched as hiccup dissapeared everyone looked to stoick. " You heard him to day on the day my son was born he died and became an enemy of berk by not only siding with dragons but also deamons. So we shall wait for his return and when he does he will be ready!" he yelled. everyone cheered even gobber. only one did not cheer and that was astrid for no one knew this but her heart belonged to the boy that just declared war on berk and she knew even though he has declered war on her home she will always be on his side. Today on the day of Hiccups birthday he gave a gift to berk. The gift of WAR!
