Legend speaks of a city of gold.
Carved by the Gods themselves, rewarding those who enter.
But, those inside it were worried of thieves and murderers. So they stand guard, waiting for the day any trespassers should come.
Waiting. Praying that no one does.

"Today, we set sail! In order to search for the new world. The world full of these vile little creatures." As the people cheered over the man's words, the creature in question just looked away glaring at the ground with it's piercing green eyes, narrowed into slits. The man just stared at it, with his own green eyes. The sooner he got rid of it, the better. But, until he found his way to the land with the vile little thing to guide him, he'd have to put up with it until he found it. As the sounds of their shouts went off and the man went to take a drink, the creature swapped it's tail at the cup, making it drip down the man's large red beard. He turned to the creature, who had a satisfactory glint in its eyes, to which the man glared.
"When you find that land, so help me Odin, your head will be hanging on my wall along with your brethren you damn dragon." It snorted, looking away, but still feeling worried. The man threw the cup at a nearby wanted poster, showing two faces. One of which, he was very familiar with.
...
As the dice rolled on the ground, it landed on a seven, causing two cheers to erupt.
"Seven!" The brunette one of the duo cheered, his green eyes full of joy. This was Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third. Hiccup would've done just fine though, as he had given up his name for the life he had now. He was a scrawny young man, dressed with a brown fur vest, a long-sleeved green shirt, with crisscross black stitching at a cut in the chest of the shirt, and brown lines at the ends of his sleeves. He wore dark green pants and even brown boots with fur trimmed at the top, typical of a Viking.
"Alright, yes! Way to go, partner!" His friend cheering, jumping and laughing at it. This was Jack Frost. Many people, of course, made fun of this name because of the affiliation to the spirit, Jokul Frosti. And, even more so because of his abnormal silver hair and blue eyes. And, if it weren't enough, he dressed in a blue sweater of some kind, and frost at the neck and end of the sleeves, painted of course by Hiccup, as Jack thought it was cool. He wore brown pants with white lines at the bottom of them, and preferred to wear no shows at all. The two were, of course, worlds apart when it came to personality. But, they had one thing in common; They were both enemies of Hiccup's father, Stoick the Vast. One who was going away on a journey to find a new land, one with dragons like the one he caught, a Night Fury at that. Which is why we find them here, gambling away with his father's crew.
"Tons of gold for you, hey! Tons of gold for me, hey!" They started singing, celebrating at the fact that they had won once again, earning them the last of the crew members' gold. The leader of the crew, the one they were currently having a bit of gambling fun with, started calling for them.
"Tons of gold for you,"
"Hey."
"Tons of gold for me,"
"Hey!"
"Tons of gold for WE!"
"HEY!" They stopped, turning to the man who Hiccup surprisingly knew. Gobber.
"One more roll!" Hiccup looked over at Jack, who looked at him with an eyebrow raise and a smirk on his face, as Hiccup sighed and looked at him.
"Um, Gobber. See, the thing is-"
"You're broke!" Jack spitted out, Hiccup wincing at the loudness of it as Jack continued.
"You got nothing to bet with!" He said, Hiccup nodding.
"Yeah...that." Gobber looked at them.
"Oh really? Don't count me out yet, boys. I got this!" He said, taking out a map. Hiccup raised a brow, looking at it with a skeptical expression. Whereas Jack seemed like he saw potential in it, eyes shining with curiosity.
"A map?"
"A map?!" Gobber nodded.
"A map of the wonders of the New World. It's not where we're headed, but, not a bad place to go, probably." He said, as Jack walked up to it.
"Well, uh, let's-let's have a look, shall we?" He started muttering, tracing over the paths with his finger, then taking it, as Hiccup sighed, walking away, until Jack pulled him face first into the map.
"Hiccup, look!" Hiccup sighed, looking at them.
"Excuse us, for a moment, please." He said, straightening out the map again and looking at it, Jack looking at him.
"Hiccup, check it out. El Dorado. The city of gold. This could be our destiny. Our fate!" Jack proclaimed, as Hiccup just raised a brow at him.
"Jack, if I believed in fate, I wouldn't be playing with loaded dice." He said, showing him said dice, as Jack pouted, causing the other to sigh in exhaustion.
"Oh no, not with the face." He made various expressions, Hiccup saying no to each of them, until the map was ripped out of their hands, Gobber looking at them.
"One more roll?" He asked, Hiccup looked at Jack, who shrugged and gave a smile, as Hiccup sighed, already shaking the dice with a shrug and a shake of his head.
"Alright, you're on-"
"Not," They stopped, looking at Gobber.
"With those. This time, we use my dice." He said, holding them out, Hiccup and Jack having similar looks of panic at them. Gobber raised a brow, almost as if he knew what they were up to.
"Do you have a problem with that, then?" He asked, as Hiccup stopped, glaring at Jack for a brief moment, who held up his hands in a 'don't-look-at-me' manner, then sighed, and nodded.
"No, no problems at all..." He said, before looking at Jack and making a cutthroat motion with his finger, Jack biting his bottom lip and shrugging. Hiccup sighed, rubbing the dice.
"C'mon, baby, papa needs that stupid map." He said, as Jack started walking around and around nervously, then stopping at some girls, smiling at them and winking, Hiccup looking at one woman, holding out his hand for her to blow on the dice, as she rejected it, causing him to sigh, and blow on them himself, then walked over, pulling Jack by the ear and glaring at him.
"Stop it." He said, Jack smiling, and shrugging. Hiccup then looked at the dice nervously, shaking them a little more.
"Show...me...seven!" He shouted, letting them go, as Jack looked on, biting his bottom lip again, wondering what'll happen. One of the dice showed a four, as the last one was still spinning. Hiccup closed his eyes, covered them with his hands and only hoping nothing would go wrong. And, finally...it landed on a three. The crowd gasped in amazement, as Hiccup dropped his hand slightly to see, then smiled and stared.
"S-seven!"
"Alright!" Jack cheered, laughing and taking the map, as Gobber stood there with shock, Hiccup laughing and going on his knees, drawing the gold toward him, laughing as he looked at Gobber.
"Maybe next time, Gobber!" He said. But, he spoke too soon, as the dice from his vest pocket fell out, revealing a seven. Gobber banged on the ground hard, to try and make them another number. After his third attempt he looked at them.
"I knew it, I just knew it! Your dice are loaded!" He said, Hiccup grabbing the dice. Jack started to slowly back away, until Hiccup grabbed his arm, glaring at him and pointing a finger at him.
"You gave me loaded dice?!" He accused, Jack staring at him with obvious confusion, as Hiccup turned, his face into the armor of a guard. He looked up, then at the dice, then back up and gestured toward Jack.
"He gave me loaded dice! Arrest him!" He shouted, as Jack glared, walking toward him.
"You're trying to pin this on me?! He was the one who was cheating! Arrest him! He tricked these sailors and took their money!" He shouted, shoving him. Hiccup glared right back at him, getting in his face and Jack did the same.
"Now I'm the thief?!"
"Yeah!" He made Jack look at his reflection in the armor.
"Well take a look in the mirror, pal!" Jack smirked.
"Not helping your case here, I've got the trustworthy face, unlike some people with brown hair and green eyes." Hiccup glared.
"Ha! Big talk for someone who doesn't even dress like us." He glared.
"You better take that back and give these sailors their money or I'll..." He looked at the hilt of the sword that the guard had and took it, aiming it at Hiccup.
"En garde!" Hiccup let out a laugh.
"En garde yourself! I'll give you the honor of a quick and painless..." He looked around and took another guard's sword.
"Death!" Only realizing it was a dagger and deadpanned, putting it back.
"Not with that." He then took out an identical sword.
"Ha! Now we can fight fairly!" He said, clanging swords with Jack, as he looked at him.
"Any last words?" He smirked.
"I will cut you to ribbons, fool." They stopped, backing away and pointing them at each other now, circling around.
"Such words for someone about to lose. Let your sword do the talking!" Hiccup proclaimed, Jack lunging.
"I will, it will be loquacious to a fault!" Hiccup dodged, looking at him.
"Ha, take that!" He said, swiping at him with the sword and Jack jumped on a nearby table, crossing sword with him again.
"You prancing, twinkle-toed twit!" He said, as they worked their way up onto a roof.
"Ha, you fight like my sister!" Hiccup let out a laugh.
"I fought your sister, that's a compliment!"
"Braggart!"
"Heathen!" He shouted, continuing to fence on a roof, until Hiccup's footing slipped, and he was on his back dodging the sword.
"Not the face, not the face!" He said, as Jack swung his sword once more, bring the sword up and into his free hand. He smirked, holding it up and aiming his own sword at Hiccup, who just looked at Jack. They heard the cheers of the crowd, and some even shouting to kill Hiccup while he was still defenseless and on his back. It was then that Hiccup got up with Jack's help and they looked at the crowd, Jack smirking.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we've decided it's a draw!" He said, throwing the swords down.
"Thank you all for coming, you've been a great audience~" Hiccup said, as they saw the two swords land in front of the guard, who glared up at them, and Gobber shaking his head at the display the two were showing, as the waved bye and jumped down on the wall over. They looked at each other, bursting into laughter.
"Congratulations, Jack. You're very good." He said, as Jack shook his head.
"No way, you were good, those sword lessons actually paid off!" They kept laughing until a hard wind caused them to stop and turn in confusion freaking when they saw that it was a bear. They stopped, backing away to the wall with wide eyes.
"What's a bear doing here...?!" Hiccup asked, as Jack shrugged.
"I don't know, but we probably should've kept those swords..."
"You think...?! What do we do?!" Hiccup thought, then looked at him.
"Well, uh...you, uh...pet it..." Jack nodded reaching his hand toward the bear, while Hiccup slowly started to get up.
"While...I..." He got up and ran.
"RUN!" He shouted, Jack looking at him and following straight after.
"Well thanks a lot for nothing!" He shouted as the bear let out a growl, chasing after them. They jumped up over the wooden barricade for the thing, until it hit it, sending it straight towards the wall in front of it, the two of them getting off and running away. The crowd from earlier saw them, as they turned to corner to get away from the bear. The crowd, seeing it, screamed and hid from it, as the bear continued to chase the two, ignoring the crowd completely. They continued to run, then saw the guards, taking out their swords, causing both Hiccup and Jack to look at each other, then ahead and went into different doors on their sides. The sounds of women screaming were heard, as they came out of doors behind the guards, waving bye to them and continuing to run. They turned ahead and screamed at the bear, which just rammed into them, the bear not even stopping an inch. Hiccup and Jack climbed their way up in hopes of losing both the bear and the guards, grabbing onto the string of the clothesline, swinging and avoiding the crossbows of the guards. They ran toward the edge, looking down and seeing two open barrels of water down below. They looked at each other, Jack speaking first.
"I bet we can make that." They turned, seeing the guards had found them and were on their way, as they looked back at each other.
"Two gold pieces says we can't." He said, Jack smirking.
"You're on!" He said, as they jumped, screaming, as they then landed in the water barrels, both fine.
"You lose, Hiccup~" He heard Hiccup sigh, as he flicked two gold coins over at his barrel. They took the tops and put them on the barrels. It was then that they felt movement.
"Jack, what's going on?!"
"...We're both in barrels, that's the extent of my knowledge." He said, as they were then put on a ship. They poked out the plugs that were in the barrels, breathing in the fresh air.
"Okay, on three, we make a break for it." Hiccup said, as Jack nodded.
"Good plan. Okay..." Together, they started counting down, unaware that two men put a large chest on top of the barrels.
"Three!" They said, straining to pick it up.
"...Three!" They said again, trying, but then giving up.
"...Oh no."

Author's Note: So, guys, this is my first story on here...I know the title sucks, but, it was the ONLY think I could come up with at 4 in the morning. So, this story is The Road to El Dorado, only I'm changing it piece by piece because I wanted to insert Hiccup and Jack! It was an idea my little sister and I came up with a few days ago and I wanted to try it out. So, HERE IT IS. I hope you liked it. Also, here are some answers to questions you probably aren't asking, but I'm going to say anyway. Basically, yes. It is Hiccup's dad in the beginning with Toothless as his prisoner again. No, it will not follow ANY sort of relation to the How to Train Your Dragon movie, other than the fact that Hiccup is in it and so is Toothless. Yes, Hiccup is Tulio and Jack is Miguel. I wanted it this way. Yes, there will be more characters, other than those from HTTYD and ROTG. How do you think I got the idea for the bear instead of the bull? Also, if it feels like it isn't very good because there are too many holes or not enough historically accurate stuff, I apologize, I wrote this first chapter at 4 in the morning. Also, I apologize for my terrible description. And that Hiccup may quite possibly be OOC. But I digress. I really do hope you enjoyed this story, and I hope that you'll want to read more! Yeah! Please ask any questions that you might want answered about this! And, also, I'm very new at . So, it might take me a while to get everything right...YEAH.
