Hiccup

"Hey, Hiccup!" Fishlegs exclaimed as he ran up the steps to Hiccup's room on the Edge.

"What is it, Fishlegs?" Hiccup asked, putting down the invention he was working on.

"Look what I found!" Fishlegs said excitedly, holding up a pile of old, brown papers.

Hiccup got up and came to look at the documents Fishlegs had found. "Wow, these look really old," he said. "Can you read the writing?"

"Not quite," Fishlegs admitted, "But it is really close to Norse. I think we could decode it together."

Hiccup studied the papers. "Yeah, I think we could," He agreed, "but can I finish what I'm working on?"

"What you got there?" Fishlegs asked, setting the papers on Hiccup's desk.

"Oh, just a new tail for Toothless," Hiccup replied sheepishly.

"You broke his other ones already?" Fishlegs said.

"Yeah, our new move isn't working as well as I hoped," Hiccup said. Toothless lifted his head and rolled his eyes. "Yeah, well maybe it's going pretty badly," Hiccup sighed.

"You'll figure it out," Fishlegs said, studying the metal pieces Hiccup had splayed out on his desk. "You always do."

"Thanks, Fishlegs," Hiccup replied. "After I get Toothless a new tail, we can definitely decode those papers." He sat down and continued to put together a new tail fin for his dragon.

"There, bud," Hiccup announced several hours later, holding up his handiwork, "what do you think?" Toothless stood up and sniffed the new tail, then snorted contentedly. "Great," Hiccup nodded, "Let me just get this onto you and we can test it. Want to try our move again?" Toothless growled. "Come on, bud. I'm sure it'll go right this time," Hiccup begged. Toothless rolled his eyes and sat down firmly.

"Yeah, like how well it went the last few times you tried it," Astrid objected from the doorway.

"Oh, Astrid!" Hiccup exclaimed, "I didn't see you there." Toothless laughed. "Oh, shut up," Hiccup said to Toothless.

"Come on, Hiccup" Astrid said, "That move just won't work. It's too hard on Toothless's fake tail."

"Astrid, I'll figure it out eventually," Hiccup said. "I just need more time."

"Why don't you help Fishlegs decode those papers he found?" Astrid suggested. "He's been waiting all day."

"Alright, Astrid," Hiccup concluded. "We'll test our move out later, bud." Toothless grunted sarcastically. Hiccup got up from his desk, grabbed the old papers, and walked down to Fishlegs's room, Toothless close behind him. "Hey, Fishlegs," Hiccup said, knocking on Fishlegs's door, "I'm ready to decode those papers."

"Great!" Fishlegs exclaimed, opening his door. "I've been cleaning Meatlug. She really needed it."

"Yeah, she did," agreed Hiccup. "Here, let's have a look at those papers." Hiccup put the documents on Fishlegs's desk. They spent the rest of the day, comparing the strange dialect to Norse. Toothless and Meatlug spent the rest of the day intently watching their riders pour over the papers.

"Have you guys finished decoding your stupid papers yet?" Snotlout asked, leaning on Fishlegs's door frame. "I mean, you've been up all night geeking out over some dumb, old pieces of paper."

"Snotlout, they're not just dump pieces of paper!" Fishlegs cried. "These papers are royal documents!"

"From what country, Nerdville?" Snotlout snickered. "Seriously, no one ever gets this excited about a couple of papers."

"Snotlout," Hiccup began, "these documents are from a kingdom called Hyrule. This kingdom sounds incredible. It's huge! Look at this map. These documents also mention a dragon. A new species of dragon! How exciting would that be?"

"Really exciting," Snotlout replied sarcastically. "No offense, Hiccup, but we're fighting a war. We can't just go off exploring when we have the Dragon Hunters after us."

"This kingdom could be a great ally in this war! They have an army and everything. If we convince them to join our side, it could mean victory for us!" Fishlegs said.

"Before you can convince anyone of anything, you have to find them," Snotlout replied. "Look how big this place is supposed to be! Do you have any idea how far out of the Archipelago it would have to be in order for us to have never found it before?"

"But how could these papers have gotten here in the first place?" Hiccup objected. "This kingdom can't be that far away."

"Yeah, plus, now we have dragons!" Fishlegs added, "We can travel much quicker now, can't we, girl?" Meatlug nuzzled Fishlegs and sneezed in agreement.

"We'll go look for this kingdom for one day," Hiccup proposed, "and if we can't find it, we'll forget this whole thing ever happened."

"Fine," Snotlout replied. "But someone has to stay and watch the Edge."

"You can stay with the twins," Hiccup ordered, "while Astrid, Fishlegs, and I go search for Hyrule."

"What?" Snotlout yelled. "You can't leave me with the twins!"

"Come on, Snotlout," Hiccup sighed, "you'll be fine."

"Yeah it's only one day," Fishlegs said.

As Snotlout turned and stormed back to his room, Hiccup and Fishlegs began walking toward Astrid's room. "Hey, Fishlegs, will you get the dragons ready?" Hiccup asked. "I have a feeling Astrid won't like this idea and I'd rather talk to her about it alone."

"No problem," Fishlegs replied, and walked back into his room, happy to avoid the argument.

Hiccup continued walking up toward Astrid's room. "Hey, Astrid," Hiccup called through the closed door. "Can you come out? I want to talk to you about something."

Astrid opened her door, and she and her dragon, Stormfly, walked out. "Sure, what's up?"

"Fishlegs and I spent all night decoding these papers, and they're from a kingdom called Hyrule. We're going to go look for it, and I thought you might want to come," Hiccup said.

Astrid grabbed the map from Hiccup and stared at it. "Hiccup!" she exclaimed, "we're fighting a war! We can't just go off exploring just because you found some who knows how old documents and decoded them on no sleep!"

"I know, I know, and that's exactly what Snotlout said, but we'll go look for just one day, okay?" Hiccup pleaded, "Then we'll come back to the Edge, and fight our war."

"What if this is the day the Dragon Hunters attack?" Astrid exclaimed. "The Edge will be completely unprotected!"

"I told Snotlout he and the twins would stay and protect it," Hiccup replied.

"Please, Hiccup," Astrid said, rolling her eyes, "the three of them couldn't stop a Terrible Terror from burning the whole place down."

"Okay, yeah, well, what if we do find this place?" Hiccup asked, "this kingdom could be a huge help in this war!"

"Do you have any idea what your father would say?" Astrid retorted, "He gave you all of Berk's gold for this war, that you lost by the way, and now you want to just go randomly exploring?"

"Astrid, seriously, this place sounds filthy rich," Hiccup said, "we could get all of Berk's money back from them."

"Alright, fine," Astrid said, "let's suppose we do find this Hyrule. What if they don't want to help us in our war? What if they don't take kindly to three random people just swooping in on dragons?"

"We'll never know if we don't try, Astrid," Hiccup replied. "Just one day? Please?"

"Ugh. You are impossible," Astrid growled, giving up. "Fine. Just one day."

"Thank you," Hiccup sighed, "We'll leave as soon as you're ready." Hiccup turned and walked down to Fishlegs's room, where Fishlegs and the dragons were waiting.

"How did it go?" Fishlegs asked anxiously, as soon as Hiccup got to his room.

"Better than I expected, actually," Hiccup replied as he climbed onto Toothless's back, "we're leaving as soon as Astrid and Stormfly are ready to go."

Just as Fishlegs got situated on his dragon, Astrid and Stormfly flew by, and Astrid called, "We're ready!" Meatlug and Toothless took off, Hiccup holding the documents.
