What really changed?
Prologue
It was a normal day on the Islands of Berk. This story is set in the heart of these islands, the main city, tourists sites and the beautiful Viking history… Berk! You were all probably expecting some fancy name but no, just Berk, the capital city of Berk.
…
Berk Academy is known for its prestigious sports academies as well as the gifted education system. They not only teach what the government find compulsory but some other… extracurricular classes which you'll find out about soon enough.
Berk Academy's principal is known across town as Stoick Haddock otherwise known as 'Stoick the Vast'. His wife Valka Haddock, well let's just say that she is no longer here… these 2 had a son. His name? Hayden Hunter Haddock… the third.
As a child Hayden was more on the small side and because of this most of his peers ridiculed him about it and started calling him 'Hiccup'. Hayden was always an emotionally stable person so this 'nickname' never really bothered him, that was until he started high school. He went to Berk Academy since his father is the principal. He thought that they would forget the horrible nickname but alas they didn't and it was finally too much. Everyone at Berk academy knew him as 'Hiccup the Useless'. It wasn't the fact that everyone called him that, just that the person who started it was his very own cousin Sean Jorgenson or otherwise known as 'Snotlout'. No one will ever know why he was so proud of that nickname but I mean who would question it after all he was the popular jock.
It was the start of the second semester when Hayden ran to his father's office. His father always wanted him to be the sporty type but he still supported him in he likes to do – even if it isn't sports. Hayden banged on the door until it opened. He walked in and took a seat opposite his father…
Stoick's POV
I look up to see my son come in and sit down. I raise a brow when I see him come through. I look at his face and see dried tear stains and a purple bruise forming on his cheek. I immediately know that incorrigible nephew of mine caused my son to be in this state. I look into his forest green eyes that remind so much of my wife's eyes. He was the exact replica of her… in a boy form. As I try and communicate with our eyes I see that the spark is no longer there and I couldn't help but feel as if I lost another piece of my wife.
"Father. I need to ask something and I need you to promise to let me." He pleaded but his voice was stone cold, it sent chills up my spine.
"Of course son. What is it?"
"I want to move to the Westview Institution."
I'm shocked. He sounds very sure of himself and I can't help but nod.
"If you must. But! You must phone at least 4 times a month and Gobber will be with you. Understand? You can't get in trouble while there. I'll get you in by next week, you might as well pack your bags from the dorms here and I'll send it over on the weekend." I state.
He nods and gets up to leave. He stops and turns back to me and gives me a tight hug while mumbling a muffled thank you in my shoulder. He leaves and I feel my heart breaking once again. The final reminder of my wife wants to leave and move. I feel a tear slip down my cheek as I start organising Hayden's flight to Westview...
This is a modern au however I'm not sure if I should include dragons or not? Let me know. Or if you would rather like motorcycles and Hiccup is a racer. R & R.
