Hello! I'm new to the Fan Fiction world though I have read some. Mainly I wanted to do this as a creative outlet but also I think it would be awesome to meet new friends who share my interests. This is my fist Story/Chapter ever so I'll try my best! Any constructive advice would be nice to hear!

A pebble rolled across the ground in front of Hiccup as he walked aimlessly across Berk. Kicking it as he walked the young chief had a lot to think about. The sky was orange with the sun setting and the island quiet. As Hiccup came to the edge of a cliff he sat down on the edge with the pebble he had been kicking in hand.

His head hung low in his hands and a soft female voice called out to him almost as quiet as a whisper. "Hiccup..." she said. He turned his head and she could see the tears streaming down his face. His eyes red from crying. The girl, Astrid, sat next to him in comforting silence. "you were insanely stupid today" she softly chuckled "I still can't believe you beat Dragos Bewilderbeast."

Hiccups look at her with a deep intensity that was unmistakable. It was a plea for help, for guidance, for love. He breathed out "Yea… I can be a real idiot sometimes." the words cut deep. He wasn't talking about the fight with the Bewilderbeast but about the words of his father "a man who kills without reason cannot be reasoned with."

Astrid cupped his cheek and wiped his tears off his face. "you couldn't have known Hiccup" she said as comforting as she could. "He did though, I should have listened to him" Hiccup said as his voice cracked and more tears streamed down his face. Astrid kissed his forehead "Maybe, but Drago would have just attacked the village and then all the children here would have been at risk. You did stop him before anything happened in the village"

Hiccup laid back with his feet over the ledge and his hands behind his head. "I don't know how to lead a village" he said. "Together" Astrid responded "you have me, all the other dragon riders, Gobber, and your Mother. you don't have to do this alone Hiccup." she laid back and put her head on his chest his chest heaving every now and then as the tears continued.

Hiccup took the pebble in his hand examined it and then threw it toward his feet and off the cliff. "yea" he exhaled "It just feels like theres this hole inside of me and I dont know what to do." Astrid sighed and said "that's how loss is supposed to feel. no one likes it but its natural and someday it will get better."

The sun set and the stars appeared overhead adding one more to their countless numbers. The two young vikings fell asleep keeping eachother safe in their embrace and both of them cried. Hiccup for his father and Astrid for Hiccup.

THANKS for reading my fist chapter. I hope to write more ASAP but I'm a college student so I have to work around that. If you leave a message it would surely compel me to write more though so I'd love to hear from anyone! Much love and thanks for giving my first shot a chance!
