A Little Vacation Forever

Berk, home to hundreds of ruthless vikings and one, not so ruthless viking. Hiccup Haddock, the only viking on the island who, well, isn't a viking. He was labeled useless at fairly young age by his peers, the grown ups and yes, his father. But, that all is about to change when he decides to make a very important decision, one that will effect him and the village, in a good way or bad, it is to soon to tell. His decision though is the right on, however, because it ensures the safety of his best and only friend, Toothless.

Toothless is a dragon (classified under the Night Fury species because of their dark hide) which is absolutely hated on berk Berk because they are forced to steal from the island to feed their queen. Vikings and dragons have been at war on the isle of Berk for over 300 hundred years and now, Toothless was Hiccups only friend.

Hiccup had shot Toothless down using one of his amazing inventions that, of course, was laughed at by the rest of the clan. After he shot the dragon out of the sky and failing to get anyone to come help him find it (for it landed in the woods) Hiccup discovered just how un-viking he really was. He found the poor dragon rapped up in a bola with a severed tail fin. He looked at the dragon, it was completely helpless, like him. Hiccup looked at the dragon and saw himself. So, he did what only a hiccup would do... he cut the dragon loose of his restraints.

The next couple of weeks were spent bonding with the dragon he named Toothless in secret at a hidden cove deep in the woods and, more importantly, far away from the village. Hiccup had also been enrolled at the dragon academy to learn how to fight them. Hiccup was, in all fairness, a cheat. He used things he learned from training with Toothless to down the dragons, without hurting them. In no time at all, Hiccup was at the top of the class and was chosen to kill the Monstrous Nightmare and that is where Hiccup hit his predicament. Their was no way he was going to kill a dragon, plus, the second place worrier, Astrid Hofferson, was getting suspicious about how Hiccup the Useless, had bested her at dragon training.

And, that brings the misfit to a very tough decision, he was going to take Toothless, and a new tail fin he constructed to allow Toothless to fly (Hiccup had to control it however) and leave Berk. He was a traitor to his people for siding with the dragons and that was okay, the people of berk only treated him with respect when they thought that useless was replaced by the mighty dragon conquer. The small fourteen year old with red-brown hair green eyes and all-over a sad excuse for a viking, was taking a...

"Vacation, forever. Come on Toothless lets go, I left a note for my, soon to be, very disappointed father and brought a few other thing we'll need to survive on our own," said the very distraught teen. A black dragon bounded over to his rider and best friend like a cat. Toothless could tell Hiccup was upset and gently nudged him in the stomach with his snout. "It's okay bud, I'll be fine. Lets get going," Hiccup said hooking up his bag and satchels to Toothless and then climbed on of his scaly friend himself. "Good bye Berk, I'll be back as soon as things settle down and, who knows, maybe even show people how to train their own dragons," and with that the boy and dragon left to Thor knows where, Toothless excited for the adventure and Hiccup, upset that he had to leave his home and, once his dad found the note, be an even greater disappointment to his father. Hiccup Haddock was on a vacation, forever.

"-And may never come back" stoic read the last words on the page as a stray tear fell from his bushy auburn beard. The chief was crying.
