HTTYD: The Dragon Crystals
Chapter1: Meeting New Family
The sky was clear and sunny on the Island of Berk when Hiccup and Toothless where having some fun flying in the clouds. Stoick looked up at Hiccup and Toothless and then called for them to come in and land.
As they did that, Stoick looked at the letter he held in his hand. "Well, my sister," he said to himself, "it has been a long time. We have a lot to catch up on, and it will be fun to see each other again." He rolled up the note and walked inside the house before Hiccup and Toothless could see it.
Hiccup and Toothless landed on the soft ground by the house, and Hiccup dismounted the dragon and walked into the abode, finding his father inside. "Hey dad," he said. "What is going on? Did something happen to someone that you need to see me about, or is this something that Toothless did that I have to clean up? Or something that the twins did that I have to go and fix?"
Stoick shook his head. "No, son," he said. "I received a letter from my sister and it said she would love to meet you. They have a kid around your age. Actually, I think she is a little younger than you, but still, it will be fun. And so we're going to take a trip to their island so me and her can catch up, and also so you can meet them as well."
Hiccup looked at his Dad. "Can I take Toothless with me? I mean, it will be faster if we both fly there, and it won't take as long by boat."
Stoick shook his head. "Sorry, son," he said, "but let's just say they don't like dragons on their island, and it's a small island, too."
Hiccup sighed. "Fine," he said. "I'll go tell the others to look after Toothless while I am gone." Toothless let out a low purr as he and Hiccup walked out of the house into the town.
Hiccup called everyone to the training ring for an important meeting. They arrived one by one; Snotlout, Astrid, Fishlegs, and then Ruffnut and Tuffnut. Once they were all there, Hiccup addressed them.
"Looks guys," he said. "I am going away for a few days, and I need to you look after Toothless for me. Make sure he doesn't get into trouble."
"Don't worry, Hiccup," said Astrid while nodding and smiling reassuringly. "Everything will be fine. You can trust us."
"You know us, Hiccup," said Tuffnut with an eye roll, ignoring what Astrid had said. "We'll blow something up or cause some kind of trouble."
Ruffnut chimed in with a nod while shouting, "Yeah, it's all ways great when something goes boom."
Hiccup rolled his eyes and face palmed. "Just don't do anything that will get somebody hurt, okay?" he said.
Snotlout scoffed. "Ha," he said. "With you gone, we won't have to listen to your lesson plans for a week."
Fishlegs looked up. "Don't worry, Hiccup," he said. "With us nothing will happen."
Hiccup smiled and walked back to his house to pack, Toothless following him, looking sad and disappointed. Hiccup looked at Toothless and offered a reassuring smile. "Don't worry buddy," he promised. "I'll be back soon."Toothless gave him a big, wet, slobbery kiss by running his tongue across Hiccup's face. Hiccup moaned in frustration. "Oh yuck, Toothless," he said. "You know that doesn't wash out, bud."
Toothless laughed as Hiccup shook his head and collected his things, packing them up for the boat ride that lay ahead. Toothless grabbed the Book Of Dragons in his gums and then put it down in front of Hiccup, looking at him expectantly. "Well," said Hiccup, "I guess I'll need this to keep me busy on the boat ride." He grabbed his drawing book and pencil and walked down the stairs. And this time, Toothless didn't follow him.
Stoick smiled as Hiccup approached. "Are you all packed up, son?" he asked.
Hiccup nodded. "Yeah, I've got everything I need." He hesitated for just a moment before he continued. "So what is the name of the kid that was in the letter?" he asked.
Stoick shrugged. "I don't know," he admitted. "The letter didn't say. I guess we will find out when we get there."
They walked to the docks , where a ship had already been prepared for the journey. Gobber looked to Stoick with a nod and then approached him and Hiccup. "Aye, good luck out there," he said sincerely. "You never know what will be waiting for ya."
"We will Gobber," Stoick promised with a smile. "Well, we better get going. It's a long boat ride to the island."
As they boarded the ship, Hiccup looked back at the island and sighed. Then, all at once, before Hiccup knew what was happening, the boat had set sail, moving swiftly over the waves. Stoick looked back at Hiccup. "Don't worry, Hiccup," he said. "Everything will be fine. Just think of this like a new kind of adventure." He paused for just a moment, before he remembered. "Oh, I forgot to mention," he said, "that they are going to move to Berk in the next couple of week. So think of this as a new adventure, and great chance to see the rest of the great people that will be moving to Berk."
The boat sailed into the sunset, ready for whatever was yet to come.
