Ode to a Hiccup.
Smaller, weaker, the lesser man
The aids to the fighting don't go to plan
Though the father does rage
The greatest mind of his age
Just wants to be one of them
Through happy mistake, the weapon works well
The dragon is caught, with a shape from hell
But the boy cannot prove his Vikings worth
For a quick discovery shakes his earth
He looks to see himself
So the dragon is freed and hurries away
In a broken path, to a cove where he'll stay
But Hiccup will follow, ensnared by the beast
And for once discover he is not the least
He will learn thiers is not the way
And soon he will triumph, right there in the ring
And for once his father, his praises will sing
But discovered is Hiccup, followed, he's caught
But perhaps he can show her its wrong, what their taught
As they sail in the darkening sky
The queens nest is discovered and our heros flee
And warnings for the father MUST give he,
But begs for tomorrow, more time to plan
To show they can work, the dragons and clan
The exam will undo them all
But the stubborn father, his belief is not won
In pain rage and shame, he has no son
The trust is disturbed, the Nightmare attacks!
In defence of his human, caught dragon of black
In chains, to lead to the nest
In hopeless despair, Hiccup can but wait
As his dragon, his friend, leads to Helhiems gate
And further, past there, to certain doom
With his father, his mentor, there will be less room
In Valhalla tonight, for their death is certain
But hope is not lost! for our hero a friend
To help him change this miserable end
Not something stupid, something crazy to do
To gather the forces of the young Vikings too
On dragon-back they can win
It's a quick flight to save them, the adults are wrong
The leaders can hear the powerful song
The raging beast attacks, there is no defense
And when Stoick feels his life is past tense…
His Hiccup will save them all
The battle is fought on stealth and speed
Defeating the beast in a great daring deed
But the price is too high, the fin burnt away
The pair of them fall, the flames hide their way
And to crash, hurt beyond repair
In the dense white ash, the father does search
On finding the dragon, his heart it does lurch
But the saddle is empty, broken and frail
The warped metal surrounding the great dragon's tail
But Hiccup is nowhere to be seen
The father laments, his son must be dead,
He blames himself, and the words that were said
But hope still clings to this ending tale
For held within wings is a young boy of pale
Well, most of him at least
The nightmare is over, but count the cost
The battle is won but the leg is lost
But a sacrifice made for their world to change
Even if dragons on Berk is quite strange
Hiccup the hero, defender of Berk
AN: So, with this I have completed my new years resolution (2012!). Talk about just sneaking it on! I had been writing a one-shot with Astrid, but it seems to be taking a life of its own and needing more writing! So this was quickly bashed out in about 5minutes… it shows :D ah well – it was fun to write.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed and a Happy new year!
Love and Hugs
