I don't own How to Train your Dragon or anything affiliated with it

Hello everyone, it has been quite a while since my last update of any of my stories or posting any new ones. My life is extremely crazy right now but recently I saw the movie "How to train your dragon", mostly for no reason, I really liked the plot but I also really liked Hiccup's character. He's a very smart, awkward, but brave in his own way and I find his character interesting to develop into a lot of different story plots.

So after seeing the movie, I had an idea to an alternative ending to the movie and a shift from the original plot. I hope you guys like it.

Note: there might be some OOC behavior and some original characters. This is my own plot so it will not follow the exact story line, I did get some inspiration from the "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" video game (Don't own).

Enjoy

It was during an icy, cold night that Hiccup was born, and that same night he almost died.

His mother and father were in shock after the healer and midwives said that their newborn baby was too weak to live long and that he has very little chance of surviving the winter. The new mother wept in the arms of her husband who looked shell-shocked to say the least.

However, the father refused to let his son perish. So he did something that no Viking in over three hundred years has done. He went to seek help from the dragons. In the old tales, it is said that if a powerful dragon finds the mortal worthy enough, it will grant him a favor but at a price.

However, the desperate father was too blinded by fear for his son, to truly understand the consequences of making such a bargain.

In was during an equally cold day that the father traveled to the only known place that such a dragon would be. A small rocky island not too far from his homeland and the village of Berk. The island had jagged peaks and endless walls of rock all around that made it look almost like an invincible fortress.

It was only a two day travel by either by luck or maybe an unknown force allowed him a safe and quick journey to the island.

He ventured onto the shores and traveled deep into the rocky island, not even knowing if he journey would be with the effort.

Soon, he found himself at the very top of the island, a large peak that had a view for miles of the ocean and all the small islands that spotted around it.

Suddenly, the father heard a large sound, and the wind soon turned into a large gale for only a few moments until it ceased.

It was there that he was staring into the face of the largest and more majestic dragon he had ever seen. The dragon looked powerful but had shimmering scales that made beams of light reflect off of them, it made the father's eyes hurt just from looking too long.

"You have come to save your son, is that correct" said a powerful voice though the dragon's mouth did not move.

He spoke, "Yes, my newborn son Hiccup has been born too weak to survive; please will you save my child from the cold hand of death?"

The dragon was silent but for only a moment, "I can save him, but a dragon's favor always has a price, are you willing to risk it?"

The man didn't even think twice, of course he would save his son for any price.

"Name it dragon; my son is worth more than anything in this world. What would you ask of me?"

Though he wasn't sure, he could have sworn that the dragon was smiling, "Then all I ask is that on his 13th birthday you bring him to his island so I can celebrate his birthday with him and the family."

The chief blinked, there has to be more to it than that. "That's all you want, just to celebrate my son's 13th birthday?"

"Of course, I have never seen a mortal's birthday party and I would like to give a gift too, to commemorate such an important day in his future. This price cannot be too much for you and your son's life is it now?

He couldn't believe it, he thought perhaps that the price would be something far worse, he was relieved that he could save his son's life without too much to risk in return.

"However, chief, he warned. If you forget our agreement, the penalty will be far worse than you can possible imagine, so make sure to remember."

He nodded and the Viking bellowed, "So we have a deal dragon?"

The beast nodded, "Yes we have a deal, and your son will live."

As he left the island, the dragon looked on as the boat left with its large, red eyes. What the poor Viking chief didn't know about these dragons that can strike deals, is that they know all that is too come in the future and this arrangement will be much more than a simple task.

But for now, the dragon still had a long wait. So he flew off far away from the island to find his supper for the evening.
