Ten year old Hiccup Haddock shifted around nervously as he followed his father off of the ship, apparently there was some sort of big leader meeting going on, on this land. Stoic had told Hiccup that he needed to learn how to handle these kinds of meetings for when he became chief, Hiccup wasn't impressed, to him it just sounded boring. The island itself wasn't all that big, it was flat, unlike Berk. It seemed to be surrounded by sand and water. Though, far off, Hiccup could make out a forest of some sort.

Stepping off the boat, Hiccup looked around, a few people had gathered around to greet the newcomers, much like back at home, everyone one was so big compared to Hiccup's small size, hiding behind his father, Hiccup shyly held on to the back of his father's shirt. Stoic turned a bit and pushed Hiccup forward. Freezing, the brunette didn't know what to do, what should he do!? Taking a half step back, Hiccup watched as another little boy ran up in front of him.

This boy was pale white, with black hair, and, blue eyes. The two boy's stared at each other for a few minutes, then, with no warning, the other boy, tapped Hiccup's shoulder and just ran off. At first Hiccup stood there, a bit confused, then he realized that this boy wanted to play. Looking at his father for permission, he waited until Stoic nodded, then Hiccup gave chase to the other boy. Pushing past the adults, he followed the pale boy, just barely able to keep up with this kid's speed.

The two of them turned towards and crossed a creek, being careful, Hiccup slowed down his pace so he could safely cross on the rocks without slipping. Once his feet hit solid ground, he took off running full speed again. He could see the pale boy in front of him, doing his best to pick up speed, Hiccup reached his hand forward about ready to tap the boy's shoulder, his fingers just out of reach. Hiccup just need a little more speed. If only this kid could slow down.

He got his wish a few seconds later, the kid tripped over something causing him to suddenly stop to catch his balance. The halt was too sudden for Hiccup and he went crashing into the boy, sending the two of them falling down. In a mash of body parts, the two boys fell over each other and rolled onto the ground, until finally they came to a halt. Hiccup let out a soft groan of pain as he rubbed his head, he was kind of surprised when the other boy started to laugh. Looking at the pale kid, Hiccup tilted his head to the side in confusion, the boy just smiled at Hiccup and continued to laugh. His laughter was enough to make Hiccup laugh a little.

"I like you. What's your name?" The boy asked Hiccup, sitting crisscrossed on the ground. Crossing his own legs, Hiccup smiled.

"I'm Hiccup. Stoic's son." Hiccup replied, the boy giggled at Hiccup's name, Hiccup scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Hey, don't laugh! My name is used to scare off trolls!" He defended, for some reason, that made the boy giggle harder, until his giggles turned into full blown laughter. Crossing his arms, Hiccup pouted at the boy. "Oh yeah! Well what's your name!?" Hiccup demanded after a few seconds. Calming down, the boy smiled at Hiccup.

"Bendt." He said, pointing to himself proudly. Hiccup scoffed at him and puffed out his cheeks a bit.

"You're laughing at me, and your name is Bent?" Hiccup asked him, Bendt gave a slight chuckle and shook his head.

"Not like it's broken bent, B-e-n-d-t...Bendt. according to my father, it means I'm blessed." Bendt told the Viking. Hiccup let out a slight snort and looked around a bit, he realized that the of them were in the woods, not so deep that they get lost, but, deep enough to feel rather uneasy about it. Bendt got a smile on his face and stood up, taking Hiccup's hand in his own, he pulled the boy to his feet and smiled again.

"Hey, wanna see something cool?" Bendt asked Hiccup, Hiccup shifted a bit then nodded happily. Following Bendt, Hiccup looked around the forest, the trees were so high that it shaded the ground below and made it cool under the hot sun. He could see lizards running up and down the trees, running away from the humans that disturbed their peace for the time being. The more they walked, the more Hiccup noticed that the plant life was getting heavier and heavier, it got to the point were Hiccup had to lift his leg up high to step over the plants.

"Don't worry, we're almost there." Bendt told Hiccup, as he helped the small Viking over a rather thorny bush. Letting out a soft grunt, Hiccup continued to follow Bendt. Hiccup noticed that the sun was starting to go down, this didn't surprise him, they were on that boat for only Odin knows how long. Though, he did hope that he wouldn't be out in the woods at night, things happen at night that aren't good. Trolls come out a night and steal your socks! Gobber told him so.

Climbing over, yet another, thorny bush, they finally made it to a different side of the flat island. Hiccup could see the waves roll in and crash onto the sand around them, Hiccup felt kind of uneasy being here, he had no idea why. The sky was getting darker, he didn't want to be out in the woods at night, he wanted to leave.

"Bendt, I don't want to be here, can we just go?" Hiccup asked him, Bendt smiled at Hiccup and started to taunt the little Viking.

"Are you always this scared? C'mon! You're a Viking! Be brave! Be fierce!" Bendt said, his smile never leaving his face, Hiccup shifted uncomfortably and looked down at his feet. Not wanting to seem cowardly, Hiccup said nothing more and waited with Bendt. The sun was no longer visible, the moon was starting to shine in the sun's place. Bendt started to get restless, shifting his weight from his toes to his heels anxiously. Hiccup started to get restless as well, but his restlessness was out of fear. Taking a deep breath, Hiccup waited with Bendt, then, out of the corner of his eye, Hiccup noticed a glint of silver fly across the sky, at first he thought that maybe it was a shooting star. He then gasped out when he realized that the glint of silver was getting closer, when close enough, he almost made a run for it. It was a dragon.

The dragon landed in the water below and just rested there, Hiccup didn't know if he should stay or run and scream for his father. He stood there frozen in fear. His fear soon turned into slight awe. He stood wide eyed, looking at the dragon's beautiful silver scales, he almost wanted to go into the water and pet the scales. The dragon looked so docile as it rested in the water. Hiccup looked over at Bendt and shakily spoke.

"Why isn't it attacking? Shouldn't it attack? It's a dragon, dragons are vicious killers..." Hiccup said to the other boy, much to his surprise, Bendt up and laughed at him.

"Our dragons are different from yours. We respect our dragons, they bring us peace, they do not harm us." Bendt explained, Hiccup relaxed a bit at that, but, not a lot, they were still dragons, big giant reptiles. Looking at Hiccup, Bendt gave him another smile and straightened up a bit. "One day, I'm going to ride one." He told Hiccup, making the Viking look at him.

"What?" Hiccup found himself asking the boy, Bendt gave him another smile and looked over towards the dragon resting in the water.

"When I get older, I'm going to ride a dragon, I'm going to leave this pitiful village on the back of a dragon...I'm going to be the first ever dragon rider...They'll remember me for centuries...A dragon rider..."

From afar, the two boys could hear others yelling for them, Bendt frowned, something wasn't right about this. He could hear them saying, what he thinks, is his name, but, it just didn't sound right.

"Ben...Ben..."

"Hey, Ben, wake up."

Benjamin Greenbloom snorted a bit and opened his eyes, letting out a soft groan, the boy rubbed one of his eyes and looked around. The professor was standing there looking at him, Ben soon realized that he had fallen asleep at his desk while finishing up the last of his homework. Yawning, Ben stretched his arms.

"Man, I feel asleep again, didn't I?" Ben asked the professor, Barnabas just chuckled.

"We really need to do something about that habit of yours, Ben. Anyway, I came in here to tell you that dinner is ready...Also to check up on you, you were being a bit too quiet." The professor teased the boy, Ben just chuckled and scooted out of his chair, as the professor started to leave the room. Ben started to think back to that dream. It was so vivid it was almost scary, almost like he was there. Shaking his head, Ben sat down and joined the others for dinner. It was just a freaky dream, nothing more, nothing less...
