The Ballad of the Dragon Rider
So this story came into being because I saw that most of the stories of when Hiccup left he fell back in love with Astrid. I love the pairing. I think they are completely adorable but I just haven't seen to many non Hiccstrid run away stories. So I made one by myself. Don't own and enjoy.
Prologue
There were few Vikings left. They had lost their dragons, their religion, and their identities. However of the few that were left many were steadfast in their beliefs. They held true to them and among these few strongholds was an elder among many children. He sat down and began a story.
"Legend tells us that once long ago Vikings and Dragons were bitter enemies. For hundreds of years dragons and humans fought until the bitter end. Vikings at the time didn't understand that dragons were just defending themselves and thought of them like demons. To the earlier Vikings it was an honor to kill a dragon especially if it was raiding your home. However, one boy decided to change everything. This is the story of the very first Dragon Riders."
The children looked at the old man with amazement. All of them had heard of how their ancestors fought on the backs of dragons, but none of them knew that Vikings and dragons were once enemies.
The old man almost smiled at their amazed faces. If only they knew.
"He was the son of a great chief Stoik the Vast. He was the chief of the Hooligans and clan that had a special hatred of dragons. You see they would raid their homes for meat to feed their aging and evil queen." The children flinch slightly knowing how bad an evil queen dragon can be. "However his son was called Hiccup, Hiccup the Useless." The children balk. "He was not as strong as his cousins or fellow Vikings. In fact he was short said to be as skinny as a fishbone and spent more time drawing then fighting."
The children were amazed they all thought that someone that could train dragons had to be big and strong. A true warrior.
"This was because he was born early," and the elder launches into the story of Hiccup Haddock Horrendous the Third.
So it's a prologue kind of short but eh. Hope you enjoy.
