To the village it was an absurd notion. To them, it was so much more. Break the laws of sanity and create a pact between beast and man; merge the two together to become a single working unit.
Start a revolution.
Sure, the road ahead would be hard. Anything less would be a pathetic waste of time. No; to get the job done right, you must work for it.
And yeah, there is always potential for this all to go up in flames, literally. But isn't it the danger that makes it worth it?
The rest of the village wasn't so sure. But Hiccup and Toothless?
It sounded like the perfect plan.
