The Lonely and the Lonesome
It was one of the coldest winters Hiccup has ever seen. The white blanket covered the island of Karel. People stayed inside all day, huddled close to their fire. Hiccup's dad Stoic the Vast, was getting worried that this would be the end of the tribe and did his best to keep his people safe. They all prayed to Ull, in hopes he would stop this snowstorm. Hiccup was forbidden by his father to leave his hut; he wanted his son safe from freezing to death. It was the second day of Hiccup's confinement and he was getting worried about Toothless. Three days ago his father was almost going to see his dragon and he sent him through a strange cave in the valley, before the snowstorm got as bad as it is. He was worried and anxious about him and decided to take a chance, and that night he sneaked out of the house to find his best friend. He even brought a treat for Toothless. He got out into the freezing cold, imagining the silly smile on the dragon's face when he saw him.
Jack Frost was angry and sad and determined to seek revenge. He punished the entire world by submerging them into the worst snowstorm he could summon. He started with North America and continued his reign of terror through the world currently he was in Scandinavia. He wanted people to notice him, to be mad at him, to curse his name for the weather; he wanted to be acknowledged, but mostly he didn't want to be alone. He encountered this strange island, covered in mist, and decided this would be his next point of attack. He brought a snowstorm like the others, and walked through the villages to see if someone saw him. He walked around a village, it was huge and it had catapults and many weapons lying around. He looked through windows to see families huddled together, and little kids bundled up till their teeth. In his anger he couldn't see that he was causing pain to others and kept on walking. He stumbled upon a large hut, and decided that was where the chief, leader or whatever he was lived. He was going to turn around but saw a boy, it was hard to decide on how old he was, leave from a bag door and run into the nearby woods. Jack, excited that he finally saw someone, decided to follow him. He noticed the woods were too thick to fly in and decided to go after him.
Hiccup was worried about Toothless dying because of the cold, but was also a bit glad that his father and the rest of the dragoon hunters were busy trying keeping themselves alive. He couldn't imagine what would happen if they found him. He walked through the woods that led to the valley; he could barely see 3 feet in front of him and was walking by instinct. He tried to calm himself with positive thoughts but his usual paranoid self wouldn't let him, and soon enough he was running at what he hoped was the right direction. Toothless was all he had and he would be devastated if he lost him. Somehow he got to the entrance of the valley, and tried to find the cave he made toothless get into. He started to worry if Toothless had enough to eat or drink. He tripped because of the rocks and tree trunk and in half an hour he was covered in bruises. He was getting very cold and could barely feel his fingers. "Toothless" he screamed, but his voice was lost to the strong wind. He kept on walking, trying to find the mouth of the cave. Before he knew it he stepped on a hole and "Crack" he fell on his arm.
"Shit shit fuck that hurts" he groaned, he let out a scream and tried to get up.
His arm was broken and he could feel blood on his face, he probably had several cuts. He noticed that he was in a cavern of some sort, and wondered if this was another entrance to the cave? It was dark and he had to touch the walls to know where he was going. He kept on walking, grateful that there was one path to follow. He started to get excited, thinking he would see Toothless soon. He forgot about his pain and walked faster. Before he knew it he got to he end of the cavern, and saw his best friend huddled in a nest of coals, giving off a little bit of light. He woke when he heard Hiccup limping toward him. Hiccup was so happy Toothless was al right. He gave him a hug and rubbed his belly, he even gave him his treat, some delicious fish. Now a new fear settled within him, how was he going to get out of here?
Jack was following the boy and wondering where he was off to at night, in the middle of a storm. He got a closer look and noticed he looked like the same age as Jack. He saw that the boy led him to a valley. He tried not to laugh when he saw him fall, and even tried to move some stuff so he wouldn't keep hurting himself. Jack got even more curious as the time went on, and the he decided he'd protect this boy. In a split second, he saw the ground swallow him up and he disappeared. Jack ran towards where he last saw him and saw a hole in the ground.
"Goddamn, I'll have to save him" he grumbled.
He stopped the falling snow and let the sun poke through the grey clouds, illuminating the valley. Jack saw how pretty it was, and felt a pang of guilt knowing it was his fault it was made ugly by the storm. He jumped through the hole, and landed with grace to the bottom. He noticed it wasn't very deep, and was thankful that this boy might still be alive. The sun gave it a little light but quickly disappeared, when Jack walked deeper inside. He started to curse at himself for following him, knowing the boy wont say thank you or notice him.
"What the hell" he whispered, "I'm already down here, might as well do it." He trudged forward and hoped the kid was alive. He could see a faint light up ahead, and wondered how the boy managed to make a fire. He ran toward it and saw the boy, sleeping next to a large black mass. Jack shrugged and thought it was a rock, not noticing it was also breathing. He looked around the cave and saw a lot of snow piled up, and concluded that was an exit or at least a path toward it. He pushed the snow away, making a racket while doing it. He saw that it was indeed the exit, and the sun washed over the boy and the "rock." The boy awoke bewildered at the sun hitting him. Jack was ready to leave when the boy said something that would forever remain in his memory. "Who the fuck are you?" he said. Jack was at a loss for words until he saw the rock moving and screamed when a huge beast tackled him.
Hiccup tried to wrestle Toothless off the strange white haired boy.
"Toothless stop it," he grunted. But to no avail, Toothless wasn't going to leave him alone. Jack was surprised and scared and out of instinct summoned a wind that pushed his attacker away. Hiccup just stood there with his mouth open, a flood of questions entering his mind. Toothless accepted his defeat, and went to the now melting lake to catch fish, unaware of the drastic climate change.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? How did you do that..." Hiccup stammered as he kept launching questions without pausing for an answer. Jack didn't even know where to start. But finally he did, trying to hide his happiness that someone finally saw him and didn't even want to wonder why.
"I'm Jack Frost and please tell me about your fucking dragon" he finally said, doing one of his cockiest smile to hide his excitement that finally someone was talking to him and that he found a dragon. He thought his day was getting much better.
*Ok I apologize for any inaccuracies here. The only thing close to a snow god in Norse mythology was Ull. I'm not sure if I should keep writing this. If anyone wants me to continue then please message me :3
