Author's Notes:
Welcome to my first How to Train Your Dragon fanfic! I have had plans to make one for two years, though that would've been a crossover with Batman Beyond. I feel it would've been really cool (and it would've given my crazy theory of Hiccup's inspiration for the flight suit and that mask), but I haven't figured out how to make it work, so it's on ice for a while longer.
As the summary advertises, this fanfic takes place after the events of the second film and focuses on the next generation of the Vikings of Berk. Well, okay, it mostly focuses on Hiccup and Astrid's family, namely their daughter. Without further ado, let the story commence!
A long time ago on an island, far, far away...
Well, from where WNR lives...
How to Train Your Dragon
Episode III: The Rising Thunder
(Insert lengthy summary here)
Okay, that wasn't the actual start, but I thought about it. XD Can you blame me for doing that after having to take my college work seriously? (I mean, I did almost submit a PowerPoint assignment with the song "Vodka" by Korpiklaani as the background song for the slideshow...) With my goofing off done for now, time for the story to really start. Please read, review and enjoy.
From the journal of Toril Haddock, daughter of Viking chieftain Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III:
It is a time for celebration here on Berk. Twenty years have passed since my father became chief of the Hairy Hooligans and Toothless, his Night Fury, became the alpha of the dragons. To add to this special day, nineteen years have passed since my brother Vali, the heir to the tribe, was born.
However, it is also a time of mourning.
Shortly before Dad became chief, his father Stoick the Vast had given his life to save Dad. Although twenty years have gone by and Vali voiced his objections to having the death of our grandfather celebrated on his birthday, our father still refuses to stop honoring Grandpa's memory. Our grandmother, Valka, feels bad for Vali, but does not wish for our past to be forgotten. I find I feel the same way as Grandma.
As I write all this down, all of Berk is beginning to prepare for tonight's celebration...
...and my Scuttleclaw Oceanstorm is throwing my belongings around to get my attention, signaling that I must stop writing and go help with preparations. I only hope that I don't mess things up like I did last year.
I know, I know, I began the story with a short journal entry. Surely that means the rest of the story will be entries? Absolutely not! Well, maybe some bits will be, but most likely just the epilogue after this.
New characters and name meanings:
Vali (pronounced "VAH-lee"), meaning "powerful, strong"
Dragon: Typhoomerang named Flamespinner
Toril (pronounced "TAW-ril"), meaning "fight of Thor"
Dragon: Scuttleclaw named Oceanstorm
More information on their appearances and their dragons (as well as more characters) will come in chapter one.
Please review (constructively if you're not going to say anything nice) and have a great rest of your day!
