I own nothing. Though I wish I did.

Prologue

I know what you are looking for. An explanation that can quickly state the reasons for my actions thus far. But I could never sum up into a few words everything that has effected the path that I have gone on to get to the present I am at now.

Through out my life I have experienced betrayal, loneliness, hopelessness, and felt pain the likes of which would make men three times my size shudder at the mere thought of. But I have also experienced love, kindness, and the truest, purest happiness one could ever feel. The feeling so strong I am still surprised my heart did not burst when I had felt it.

Knowing this how can you ask me to explain so much in so little. Even if I managed to do so you would not see the true meaning lying beyond the explanation. You would see nothing more than what was on the surface. And just like nearly everyone else you would only manage to see the labels that I have gained through my journey. Fiend, Slave, Traitor, Outcast,... runt.

No.

If you wish for that go elsewhere now to hear the opinions of others. I will not waste my breath with you.

However, if you have the patience to listen, I will unveil to you secrets that almost no one else in this world knows. But for me to do that, I must start from the beginning. The very beginning.

And the beginning starts about... 42 years ago. In a land, far to the south, called Rome.

Authors note

Yes, this is Valka speaking.

NO i do not own anything pertaining to any one except the words currently typed on the screen.

I am writing this because I have heard so many different suggestions to the reasoning behind Valka/Valhallarama's disappearance that it is either she left dew to choice and is currently a bitch because of it or she just died. I honestly think a new possibility should be stated.

It's truly going to be her life story as I think it happened, from the time of birth to the second movies beginning.

Before you ask, no I have not read the books. I'm sorry, big whoopdy doo. I still like HTTYD and am a huge fan of the movie, mini movies, and TV series. And to me that's good enough.

I'm just tired of all this hatred toward Valka. (Book readers forgive me please if i am speaking out of term) But I believe that Valka truly, deeply loved Hiccup and Stoick, but might end up (in the movie) just being an unfortunate victim of circumstance.

Anyway, no more ranting or spoilers. This is my first story so very likely the quality will get better as I go along. Happy reading.
