Chapter 1: The Story So Far Part 1
Berk. An island that sat in the middle of nowhere; it was considered nowhere because no other maps, besides their own, went that far north. It was a relatively large island, more height than girth. Towards the inland, several small shacks had been built, simple wood and thatch roofs, no bigger than a motel room. The southern edge of the island was a different matter entirely. Large jagged spears of ice were pointing in every direction.
Off to the side of one of the collections of ice stood a young man, and next to him, his beast. The young man had long brown hair, a few braids tied in it. His body was covered by a set of black, dark brown and green leather armor. His left leg ended just below the knee, and had a complicated looking peg leg. His green eyes looked into the ice, lost in thought.
The beast to his left sat on its haunches. It had the basic body plan of a salamander, two ears that stood erect on its head. Two flaps hung loosely below the ears on either side. Its wings were folded close to its body, and its tail curled around itself, the tip coming up and then falling on the ground softly every now and again. The tail had two fins, one natural and the other prosthetic. The entire beast was midnight blue, save for the prosthetic tail fin, which was red. Its green eyes stared at the setting sun.
The Man was Hiccup, the leading chief of Berk. The beast was Hiccup's best friend and loyal partner, the Night Fury and Alpha of all dragons, Toothless. Hiccup couldn't help but reflect on the past; most of all the burial of his father, Stoick the Vast who had lead Berk with the kindness of a priest, but the brutality of a warlord when war was at hand. Now that the greatest threat had been eliminated, Hiccup could finally take a breath. Peace was back on track. But with the surprise that Hiccup's enemy had executed, he didn't feel peace. He now felt that he must always be ready for war. In fact, he read that in one of the elders scrolls; 'during peace is the best time to prepare for war.'
"What do you think bud; should we make a few more runs to the woods, bring a few more logs back for another shack?" Hiccup asked Toothless. Toothless responded with a hum in his throat.
"Hiccup?" A voice said behind him. Hiccup turned around and saw Astrid. She was staring at him sadly. "If you can't stop this reflecting on the past; this is going to end." Hiccup felt a pain in his chest. He looked into the ice, mind working faster than it had in the past month. He loved Astrid, he always had, and no matter what, always would. He turned back toward Astrid.
"I'm sorry Astrid; you're the epitome of everything Viking; as a chief said 'a chief feels no pain, a chief feels no loss, a chief feels no fear, a chief must be above weak personal feelings.' The problem is the fact that it's all I'm feeling. And if you can't accept that, then this is over." Hiccup said, the last half coming out a lot harsher than he meant it to be. Astrid's face changed from sorrow to anger, and she walked back to the center of the island. All the shacks were for people to sleep in, until they could rebuild the houses. But with all the damage done to the island, and winter approaching rapidly, despite it being over six months away, the rebuilding of the island looked like a pipe dream.
To solve the problem, instead of going to the woods on Berk, Hiccup and Toothless searched the other islands; Fireworm Island, the Changewing Forest, even the desolate and false Isle of Night. None of them had sufficient sources of lumbar; all were covered in ice. The moon and the stars had come out, giving the landscape a light glow. It looked like Drago attacked the places to make sure nothing would be there for when he attacked Berk, and they couldn't flee to another location.
"We're finished bud; we don't have enough lumbar to even build another shack, and it will take years before enough trees are present." Hiccup sighed. Toothless hummed, as if trying to find a different solution. Then suddenly, an ancestral memory hit Toothless like a club. His pupils become vertical slits as the memory started to occupy his entire mind. Toothless hopped up to the highest point on the Isle of Night, and then roared. He hopped back down to Hiccup, urging him to get in the saddle. As Hiccup did so, he locked Toothless' tail so that it would always be extended; Toothless could fly himself. Toothless took off and started flying south, farther south than Hiccup had ever been. He actually started becoming hot, despite the wind blowing on every inch of his body and the night air being cool.
In the distance, Hiccup saw a large land mass; what was better, it was covered in trees. As Toothless circled in the air, Hiccup couldn't see where the woods ended. This would be the ideal place. The only thing that worried Hiccup was that the boats couldn't get close to the woods because of a fjord that sat on the side of the woods. Also, on the opposite side of fjord sat a castle. Hiccup decided to fly back to Berk and then set up recon on the castle; he needed to know everything about this place, and find out if he could form some allies before the next war came. Little did he know, that despite being shielding by a night sky, he had been spotted.
And here we go! I have seen several HTTYD/Frozen crossovers, and it saddens me how many are removed. Hiccup has seen Arendalle for the first time, yet only one knows he exists; are you guys as excited to see how this plays out, because I know I am!
