this is a storyline that I just absolutely love. I mean what if Hiccup and Heather were twins but also Dagur's siblings as well? I will have this set during "Have dragon will travel" but I am going to start it by telling, my own story as to what Happened to Hiccup and Heather and why they are where they are. Anyway, please follow and favorite. none of this is mine. I even got ideas from other fanfics. Italics will be in the past. Please enjoy!
Screaming. that's what a little three-year-old boy woke up to. His mother was pregnant and was supposed to give birth to his little sibling in June, however, it was February 29 and she was screaming. The little boy felt scared, well, terrified, for his mother and more importantly his little brother or sister. His father was waiting outside their bedroom while he played on the floor of his room down the hallway a bit. He was playing for so long he lost track of time, what brought him back to reality was a scream followed by a small cry from the room. He was so relieved that he didn't hear his mother scream again. Although he did hear the nurses start to talk very loudly and saw his father run into the room only to be pushed back out again. The little boy was terrified and started to cry.
"Hey, hey. Dagur, look at me," the little boy's father said pulling his chin up so their eyes met. "It will be okay. Turns out mommy had more than one baby in her tummy. The first one is doing well, cute little girl. They are trying to get your little brother out safely. It will be okay, I promise." Dagur nodded his head understanding what his father had said. Not a few minutes later there was a cry, small and delayed, but it was there. Both man and son let out a sigh of relief and not seconds later they were in the room.
When they entered the room Dagur saw his mother holding both babies. She handed the boy to Dagur and the girl to his father. She had a huge smile on her face. They were one big happy family, that was when Dagur saw his mother go limp. The nurses noticed it right away and rushed the two males out of the room. They were shouting at each other, things along the line of "get her back".
Dagur looked up to see his father crying. He was going to ask what was wrong, but a part of him didn't want to know. He knew it wasn't good so stood there in the hallway admiring his little brother. He was smiling, or it seemed. He was also awfully small, then he noticed so was his sister. He stood there for a few more minutes then the door to his mother's room opened. All he remembers is his father telling him that mommy went to Valhalla.
Dagur cried for hours, he cried at her funeral. Then he started to cry for other reasons. At his mother's funeral, there was a couple from a different trib. The man was tall and very big, whereas the woman was small and slender. Dagur had been holding his siblings when his father came up and his little brother out of his arms, but when he came back he saw that his brother was no longer in his father's arms.
"Daddy, what happened to my little brother?" the little boy hadn't been given a name yet so that's what Dagur referred to him as.
"He went to his new home," his father simply responded. Dagur was confused but then hurt. He didn't understand why his little brother had to go.
A few months later his sister disappeared. His home was attacked and raided while he and his father were on a "business" trip. Dagur had no idea why the gods hated him, first he lost his mother, then his brother went away, then his sister went missing. After years of searches for his missing siblings, Dagur concluded that they were both dead since he couldn't find them.
He became crazed over the years, trying to console himself with the idea that he had no family left, that was especially true when his father went missing as well. At age 20 Dagur took over as chief.
Hiccup had just landed on Berk. He headed straight for his house. When he walked inside he was glad to see his father, Stoick the Vast, already there. That made everything easier.
"Son! What brings you back to Berk?" Stoick asked.
"I wanted to ask you something, I found this in Heather's saddle bag. Well, Toothless did," he held up the horn. Stoick tensed immediately upon seeing the horn. "Dad, is Heather my sister?" Hiccup finally asked.
"I didn't want you to find out this way," he mumbled but continued. "Yes she is your sister, well twin actually"
"Wait, hold on, are you saying that we are her birth family?" Hiccup asked with a sense of hope.
"Not exactly, no. her father is Oswald the Agreeable, Dagur's father as well." Stoick paused, he wasn't sure how to break the news to his only child.
"I'm not sure I under-" then everything clicked. "Oswald is my father! I'm adopted!" Stoick was shocked that Hiccup figured it out so easily.
"Yes, when Oswald's wife, your biological mother, died we went to her funeral out of respect. Your mother and I had just been told earlier that day that we were not able to have children so we were worried about the future of the village. Oswald came up to us and said he was willing to let us adopt his youngest son, a newborn, and made us swear to tell no one about it. We asked his reasoning for giving up his newborn son and he said that one day his sons will fight each other for the title of chief. He didn't want that to happen, he said we seemed like nice people, your mother agreed and we took you home. When we got home, As a thank you and a congratulatory I sent the horn with my seal on it. Not too long after we heard that his daughter went missing after some bad people raided the village. Oswald spent years trying to track her down, but never found her. I had no idea who Heather was till now." Stoick explained the entire situation, but Hiccup wasn't sure if he was hurt or excited he just found another family. He had no idea if he was mad or shocked, he didn't know what to believe anymore.
Before Stoick could say anymore Hiccup was back up in the air. Toothless had no idea why his best friend was so tense but headed back towards the Edge anyway. When they reached the platform Hiccup noticed it was fairly quiet, too quiet. He looked around then saw a map, once again everything clicked. They had gone after Dagur, if he didn't get there soon Heather would kill their brother without even knowing.
Heather had her double-bladed ax at Dagur's throat. She was furious, but also finally happy, or at least she thought. She was finally going to get her revenge.
"Heather, this was supposed to be a capture mission!" Astrid attempted to reason with the murderous girl.
"I'm sorry Astrid but Dagur didn't capture my village." Heather was about to land the final blow when they heard someone scream.
"STOP!" Hiccup quickly came into view and ran in front of Heather's ax. "Heather, stop. You don't want to do this."
"Hiccup gets out of my way, I don't want to hurt you." Heather was speaking the truth, she didn't want to hurt him. For whatever reason, she had a different kind of friendship with him.
"Heather listen to me, this horn. The horn you got from your birth parents, it has my father's chief seal on it. He gave it to Oswald the Agreeable as a thank you and congratulatory gift. He gave it to him as a thank you for providing an heir to his throne and to congratulate him on having a baby girl. The baby girl was abducted not too long after that. Don't you see Heather? That little girl was you, I was the heir. I'm adopted too, and so are you. Our real father is Oswald the Agreeable and our brother is Dagur. You can't kill him." Hiccup finished and Heather put the ax down. She had tears in her eyes and hugged Hiccup.
By then the other riders had started to listen to the conversation. They were shocked, having no idea about Hiccup. To be frank they had no idea what was going on.
Dagur watched everything unfold from the ground. The moment he met Hiccup he had thought it was possible, he had their father's hair, but he didn't want to believe it. He had his family back, the thing without which turned into a crazed deranged maniac. Gods, what had he done to them? He ruined their lives without ever knowing. He felt horrible, for he never really hated Hiccup or Heather's village, he was just hurt by them. They both betrayed him, he didn't like being betrayed. Gods, would they accept his forgiveness? If not I'll make them. Yeah, that's right, they just need to see the real me. That's all. Dagur thought to himself. He started formulating a plan in his head on how to win his siblings' trust back.
