Prologue

The sky was painted with light yellows and pale pinks, clouds formed in the distance, a dark grey shading underneath them. A slight wind blew through the evening sky and around the ocean's surface.

Berk was quiet, with the occasional stragglers or dragons taking an evening stroll. Torches were lit and spread out across the island spewing light throughout the hazy light of the night sky.

A figure was walking along the dirt path up to a house atop a hill, his appearance however was rather eye catching considering your average Viking he wasn't exactly short nor was he tall, he walked with a limp, spreading most of his weight on his right side. A black dragon slinked close behind , its lime green eyes watching over the human. They hiked up the small incline and ambled up the steps arriving on the porch, where a lone torch was lit henceforth indicating that someone was in the house and very much awake. He lugged the large door open as best as his small arms could manage , and trudge hesitantly inside. In the middle of the room was a burly man with a massive red beard, he noticed the boy who walked in giving a sigh and greeting him cordially .

"Hiccup!Nice of you to finally come home! How was it today with the dragons?" the man asked leaning back on a decrepit brown chair.

Hiccup sat down across from him, "Eh, it was okay… I guess. Can we talk?" He said fiddling with his fingers anxiously casting shy glances at the man.

"Son, of course ye can talk to me." Hiccup's father calmed down his cordial manner and became serious, "What was it ye wanted to talk about?"

"Uh… its about me… and the dragons… and the village. What I'm trying to say is, you know how last year, when I killed the Red Death, you and the village finally accepted me and the dragons… but what if that never happened. What if you never found out about Toothless and I never did well in dragon training… would you ever have accepted me?" Hiccup gulped, hoping he didn't say anything wrong, and looked his father in the eye but glanced away immediately as Stoick frowned confusion spread across his face.

"What'd ye mean?" Stoick looked a little puzzled at what he was trying to say.

"What I mean is that, if I never brought Vikings and dragons together, I would still be an outcast. If I never did well in dragon training, I would still look weak. The people only accepted me because I could do something about the dragons, you only accepted me because I finally did something worthwhile. If I didn't have the dragons… what would that make me?" Hiccup croaked the last part , his emotions laid bare for all to see, he felt guilty and free simultaneously , time coming to a standstill as Hiccup replayed all the possible scenarios he could think of as too what his dad would say.

Stoick looked at his son, speechless. "I-I… I don't know, Hiccup. I don't know." Moaned Stoick letting his head drop focusing his gaze to the table.

"So, that's it isn't it. People only accept me because I can "control" the dragons." Hiccup wallowed . "That's fantastic, thank you for clarifying that. Toothless… c'mon Bud." Hiccup argued sarcastically and got up from the table, Toothless watched Hiccup with his big emerald green eyes, curiosity burning fiercely as he confusedly tried to figure out what his rider had done.

"Hiccup… Hiccup. Hiccup, get back here." Stoick followed Hiccup outside into the night the chill laying siege to his body as he walked towards Hiccup, the suns rays were the only light left from the day, and the moon was scarcely seen by the coverage of the clouds.

Hiccup didn't stop; he strapped the saddlebags onto Toothless' saddle and mounted the Dragon. "You know what? After finally feeling like I was accepted into this village, I realised it was all pretend; like some kind of game. Well you know what? I'm not playing anymore. I'll comeback when people finally realise that. Bye... Dad." Hiccup drawled his words drooling venom as the tension clung to the air seemingly stuck there by the ironic serenity of the situation. He shifted his foot in the pedal and Toothless took flight.

Stoick watched as they got smaller and closer to the horizon. "Aye son… I'm so sorry."

Toothless soared smoothly through the night, his pitch-black scales camouflaging with darkness. The air was cold and clouds loomed over the dragon and his rider. Hiccup stared out into the night, his hair blowing in the harsh winds, and the salty smell of the ocean surrounded him.

They had been flying for about 3 hours now when suddenly Hiccup noticed something the wind was starting to pick up and was getting harder, making it tougher for Toothless to fly straight. As the clouds grew larger and darker , rain started to fall from the sky, at first it was what was considered a light trickle but looks could be deceiving. The rain started to quicken and pelt them like small rocks. Hiccup clung tightly to Toothless' saddle and tried to manoeuvre him through the oncoming storm. A blast of wind caught Toothless off guard and his wing was jarred of angle , to no ones surprise they started to spin out of control...

They were shrouded with darkness, fear rushing through their veins as of it had replaced their very blood. Hiccup was terrified, mortified even as the winds thrashed them around like a rag doll, he was losing all sense of direction and the rain was so dense it was difficult to see anything in front of them. The waves beneath them were crashing and grew exponentially the deeper they got into the storm! Lightning struck entailing sudden flash of blinding white light destroying the scenery in a vibrant burst of colours . the after effect however was yet another deafening roar of thunder a second later.

Toothless growled in distress and fear, his prosthetic tail fin flapped aimlessly in the wind making his flying unsteady. He lost all control of his flying and they plummeted into the ocean, the frigid waters bathing them in ice , Hiccup's skin was of glacial heat now , the waves surging on top of them dancing on their bellies as they sunk.

Hiccup tried to keep consciousness as long as he possibly could, but with his current predicament it was hardly feasible. In spite of this the darkness took over and his air capacity was at the all time low. lungs clenching, wanting that sweet air to fill them back up and give them life once efforts bore no fruit to him so he was forced to give up and started to sink into the depths of the sea. Toothless on the other hand dove down after him, using his wings to bring him down deeper into the water, grabbing Hiccup with his front paws swam back to the surface of the water. They emerged out of the water, Toothless taking a big intake of air and catching his breath. Hiccup was still unconscious and ice cold, Toothless worked himself to get Hiccup onto his back so they could fly, but he wasn't waking up! The waves thrashed them around and made it difficult for Toothless to stay afloat.

Hiccup advanced into coughing fit, water escaping his lungs and he gaged on the upcoming water. He laid flat on Toothless' back took catch his breath and recuperate from almost drowning. It was hard for him to keep his eyes open, he was so tired and everything was foggy. His hearing was muffled and anytime lightning struck and thunder roared, it was like he was hearing it through a down pillow. His ears rang and his body ached.

Toothless roared to get his attention but nothing worked, the waves just crashed over them, they were soaked to the bone. Toothless' scales were slippery and Hiccup's hair was soaked and flat against his face. Hiccup drifted into sleep and Toothless had to stay awake or else they'd drown...

Everything was dark wet and cold; nothing felt as it should. The storm overpowered the duo and the rain kept falling, the thunder kept raging, and the waves kept crashing. Toothless let out one last heart wrenching roar before blacking out and leaving consciousness… all that was left after that was … nothing but an empty void.
