Ok first chapter. This was suggested to me by Green-X, who is my brother.

I don't own HTTYD/ROTG

Now, onto the chapter!

Puffs of air came from panting breaths and bare feet moved quickly over snow covered ground, dodging branches and trees. A hooded figure, cloaked in blue, moved quickly through the forest, trying to escape the men and hounds. The figure looked quickly behind them, as the sounds of dogs barking and men shouting grew closer as the figure paused, looking for a place to hide. The figure reached behind them, grasping the crooked staff that sat upon their back, and hooked it onto a sturdy branch high above them. They quickly jumped up and pulled themselves up into the branches, climbing high enough that the darkness of the night and the icy fog could cloak them in the branches.

The men passed by below. The dogs pausing to sniff, only to whine when they found no sent of the figure, for they had found a way to get rid of their sent. Curses came from the men below, as they struggled to find the one they called "ice demon". Finally they gave up, and left the woods to head back to their village.

The figure in the tree let out a breath they'd been holding, before hissing and looking down at the iced over wound upon their arm and the cuts their feet had obtained from running over hidden twigs and rocks. They placed their pale hands upon their feet and hissed as a soft coating of frost covered the cuts and then enforced the ice that had cracked and chipped away from the run over the wound upon the arm. After a few moments, the figure climbed down and settled down near the trunk of the tree. Icy blue eyes that glowed from beneath the shadows of the hood, began to slip close as the figure drifted off upon the cold, snow covered ground.

A teen, the age of fifteen, with brown hair and green eyes woke up with a yawn as sunlight slipped in through his window. This was Henry "Hiccup" Haddock son of one of the fiercest soldiers in the village, Stoick Haddock and the healer, Valka Haddock. He lived in the Kingdom of Luna, ruled by King Manfred. Hiccup worked for his father's friend, a black smith named Gobber Belch, as an assistant.

These were simple times. It was a time with few worries like petty thieves and murderers. Nothing special. That is if you don't count the rumor going around his village of an ice demon who will wreak havoc upon the kingdom, and others. Many of the village's traders claimed to have seem it walking through a villages nearby, until the men there chased it away. Hiccup however didn't believe a word being said about it. There were always claims of people being witches and demons but Hiccup himself has never seen such a thing happen, so why should he believe it's real? It just seems so spontaneous that people wield such power, it just can't be real! And if these people did wield such a thing, why chase them down when they could take you out with a flick of the wrist? Why not befriend them instead of assuming they'd attack you?

With a deep breath, Hiccup climbed out of bed and got changed into a green, long sleeve shirt and brown pants and boots. Since it was the winter season, he threw on a brown cloak to keep him warm from the chilled air. He then walked out of his room and down the stairs. His father and mother were already gone for today, so he simply grabbed the bowl of porridge made for him and ate it up quickly. He then headed out his door and onto the busy streets.

People walked to and fro in a bundle of warm cloaks. You could see people buying supplies for the winter, working, or just simply strolling on this fine winter day. Hiccup was one of those who were just taking a walk since Gobber had given him today off while he gathered supplies from tradesmen. As he passed by one of the alleys, a hand grabbed his arm and pulled him into it. Before he could scream however, a hand covered his mouth and familiar laughter filled his ears.

Scowling, Hiccup squirmed free and turned to glare at the teen in before him. "Toothless!"

Tucker "Toothless" Night-fury was Hiccup's best friend since he was small. He had dark skin, midnight, shoulder length hair and bright green eyes. He was dressed in black slacks and boots, with a gray shirt and a dark gray cloak. He was taller the Hiccup by at least a few inches but was of the same age of fifteen. He was nicknamed Toothless when he knocked out a majority of a man's teeth with a rock when he tried to steal from him.

"What?" He laughed, "I'm just having a little fun!"

"You scared me half to death!" Hiccup exclaimed. "I told you to stop doing that!"

Toothless rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever mom."

Hiccup huffed in response to Toothless' sass. "What do you want?"

"What? Can't I hang out with my best friend?" Toothless then grabbed his arm and began pulling him as he walked. "Come on I want to show you something." He pulled him away from the village and towards where the woods began. "I found this earlier today when I was exploring the woods."

"How far did you go in?" Hiccup asked, worried for his friend.

"Far, but not far enough that I couldn't find my way back." Hiccup didn't know what to say to that.

Soon they stopped a little ways into the trees. Toothless let go of Hiccup's arm and headed over to a snow pile near some rocks. He dug into it, then gently pulled something out, something small enough that it fit in the palm of his hand. He walked back over to Hiccup, who looked down to see a small piece of ice in his hand.

"What about it?" Hiccup asked.

"Look closer, what do you see?" Hiccup had the piece passed over to him and he looked closely. Sure enough he could see a crimson color staining the usual clear ice.

"What is that? Is that…blood?!" Hiccup exclaimed, looking up toward his friend who nodded.

"Yeah but I don't know from where. And I found it cool because the ice like had the blood dried on it or something."

"So this isn't yours?"

"No." Toothless then showed his hands which were clear of the red color. "Do you think it might be connected to the rumor of the ice demon? They said it was chased into the woods."

Hiccup laughed nervously. "It might just be a coincidence."

"Hiccup, its blood on ice! How could it just be a coincidence?" Toothless shouted.

He had a point and while Hiccup didn't think such a thing existed, here was proof. Hiccup shook his head. No. He wouldn't be drawn into such rumors and stories. He gave the ice back to Toothless.

"Come on." He said. "We should head back." Toothless agreed and tossed the ice. As they headed back to the village, Hiccup couldn't help but look back at the forest.

The rest of the day was spent hanging out with Toothless, however, Hiccup had a nagging in the back of his mind to go back to the woods. It wasn't until Toothless headed home, did Hiccup dare to go back.

As he walked up to the borderline, Hiccup peered into the trees from where he stood. He still didn't know why, but he needed to go in there. It was like a siren call from the wind, urging him and pulling at his mind to make him enter. Unable to wait any longer, he stepped past the beginning trees and headed deeper inward. As the trees floated past his vision, Hiccup continued walking forward. It could have been minutes, it could have been hours. He didn't know. All he knew was there was something in here that made his curiosity run free, igniting when his eyes were laid upon the crimson ice. He stopped walking though, when he heard a noise. It was soft, almost lost if it weren't for the silence that consumed the woods. He moved towards the sound and found it leading towards a lake. And once he saw what was there his breath caught in his throat.

So that was that.

Feel free to review.

Until next time! :D
