Sequel to Hiccup the Hybrid.
I do not own Httyd.
Prologue
Hiccup's Narration
Origins…. It's a word that tells a story of how someone or something came to be and the reason why they act or behave the way they do, whether it is good or if it is bad. We all have Origins and a lot of them, such as the good ones, are fun to tell and share with others because they bring a sense of happiness, joy and reason to people's lives that inspire them to do great things. My Origin however isn't like most though.
When I was just a baby I lost my mother to a dragon in a raid, leaving me and my father alone and in mourning. Since then in my early years I seemed to have had everything going for me though, well for a six year old. My father tried his best to raise me and lead a village, even though I did things normal Vikings didn't do which sort of got underneath his skin, but he thought I would grow out of it eventually and didn't worry too much about it since helping Gobber at the forge, and playing with my friends, who even though they were young, showed to lean more towards the Viking way which made him think I would follow my peers and do as they do. I never got the chance though.
I was six when I was taken by a dragon, which toke me away from my family and friends to the dragons nest that my tribe had been trying to find for hundreds of years only to be changed by massive dragon that lived there into what I am today, a hybrid.
My world changed for the next 9 years of my life till I was once again reunited with my family and friends, who in turned helped me restore my lost memories and then helped me and my dragon family defeat the massive dragon known as the Red Death and bring peace to both dragons and Vikings.
Many things happened during that time, the biggest being that I accidentally turned my girlfriend Astrid into a hybrid, but hey she wanted it so I can't argue with that.
Very seldom do people ask me how my time with the dragons was like. I usually gave them the response of it was nice, but hard at the same time being a hybrid you know, you are seen as an outcast and they bought it. Nine years however is a long time, and I did a lot of things that I want to stay in the past. Like everything though, the past has a way of catching up with you…
A few weeks after the battle of the Red Death….
A misty fog enveloped the dark night sky over the northern seas that brought a sense of eeriness to it and an uneasy feeling to those who would have entered it, but for a lone black Deadly Nadder, it felt like home.
The Nadder wasn't the most pleasant thing to look at, with the nasty scar that went through his right eye, the tattered wings that gave him a ghastly appearance that would've scared most people away just by looking at them and the fact that he was carrying a lifeless body of a bloody, cut up purple Skrill that sagged there in his talons.
The Nadder grunted as he dove down in the fog into what seemed like a dark abyss that was void of any light and sound. He turned his body and did a barrel roll to avoid a sea stack while at the same time trying not to lose his grip on the dead Skrill as he dodged another sea stack.
Up ahead a dark and protruding mountain stood with dark ominous and foreboding clouds that circled around the tip of it. Upon seeing this the Nadder grinned wickedly and flew harder than he had before as the fog began to disappear revealing a landscape that was covered in lava rock with steam that rose from the cracks in the ground.
"Hmm," The Nadder mused to himself, "Soon my brother, you shall live again and then we can finally begin our master's work."
Soon he was at the bass of the mountain and then a wide cave entrance appeared that led deep to the center of the mountain that he flew into. The cave itself was dark, with bright green crystals spread out along the walls providing the only light source within the mountain. The cave also had a smell to it, a smell that was musty and of one of brimstone.
As the Nadder flew along he could see a faint light up ahead, indicating he was about to approach a chamber of some sorts. The light grew more and more as he approached it with greater speed till he shot out into a huge room that had jagged rocks that lined the edges and more of the green crystal that spread across the walls of the cavern.
The light from the moon came from the top of the room through what appeared to be a small hole that was so high up, it looked as if it was just a dot to one who was standing on the floor. That's if you could find a spot to stand without getting your feet all covered in mud, debris, and this black slim that grew along the ground.
In the center of the room was a large black pool of water, pretty much a small lake that was undisturbed for a moment till the Nadder dropped the lifeless body of the Skrill at the shores of it in the mud and black slime. The body slid for a bit as the black slime caked along the edges of it, till the snout of the dragon touched the water of the pool causing a ripple effect to go throughout the entire lake.
The Nadder landed off to the left of the body of water on a rocky pillar with two other shapes behind him on other pillars of rock being cloaked in the darkness of the shadows, but their piercing red eyes followed the Nadders as the water began to grow restless till it exploded showering them all with its icy touch as a massive black figure arose from it with two massive tusks, and a frill upon its head. It had two menacing red eyes and a face that was flatter than most dragons, but its mouth was filled with rows of razor sharp teeth that gleamed in the light of the moon.
Its front legs came up on the shore line as it pounded its paws on either side of the Skrill as it looked down at it before it began to mutter something. "By the power of those before me," The creature said in a dark and deep tone as the black slim began to spread out across the body of the Skrill like veins or tentacles, "I bring you back from the world beyond, to do my will and my will alone! Arise!" The creature said with a wicked grin as his tusks pulsated a dark glow.
As the black slime finished spreading throughout the body of the Skrill, the dragon slowly arose like a puppet, with its limbs shaking and wobbling and its head facing back up towards the ceiling till it flung back down with its jaw sagging open. Soon though, the pulsating from the giant dragons tusks stopped and the black slime retreated back off of the Skrill leaving it up and standing on its own with its body slouched over.
However, it instantly toke a breath as its eyes shot wide open showing two red glowing orbs as it stood up straight quickly while sticking out its chest and spreading its wings. "Hahahahaha!" The beast roared in laughter as lightning danced around, "I'm back! I'm finally back!"
"You've only been in the afterlife for a few weeks," One of the shadows said irritably behind the Nadder, "Get over yourself."
The Skrill whipped around to the figure that spoke with a crazy grin on his face as his eyes danced from one figure to the next. "Tidalwave? Ramhorn? Quickspike?" He said enthusiastically, "My friends! Why didn't I see you in the afterlife?" he questioned happily.
"Avoiding you and Quickspike was never dead you idiot!" one of the figures growled as he showed himself to be a giant turquoise Scauldron, which had many battle scars all over his body clearly showing that he had many battles. "I will end you if try to get anywhere close to me!" He threatened to the Skrill seeing that he was moving towards him. The Skrill just shrugged his shoulders as if he couldn't care less and began to zap everywhere around the room while laughing hysterically.
"I am going to smash him!" The other figure said as it darted out of the shadows to reveal a brown Rumblehorn with a murderous look in his eye. "Stay still Stealth Shocker so that I can pummel you!"
The Skrill known as Stealth Shocker only laughed more as he easily out flew the giant dragon and darted underneath him and above him which only made him even madder. To the Skrill however, this was just some game to him as he avoided the brute's attacks on him and clearly showed who the faster one was.
Below them the giant dragon in the pool looked to the Nadder and the Scauldron and motioned them to come closer to him, to which they obeyed and stood mere feet away from him. The giant dragon looked down upon them with furrowed brows and smirk to the side of his mouth.
"You have done me a great deal of honor, Quickspike," He said regarding the Nadder known as Quickspike, "You have retrieved your fallen brothers and brought them here to once again serve under me." The Nadder bowed in respect, while the Scauldron approached the giant dragon and bowed as well before he spoke.
"Oh great one, I am sorry that we have failed you." The Scauldron replied earning a quizzical look from the dragon.
"Failed Tidalwave?" He asked in a booming voice causing both dragons to look up him in wonder. "You have not failed me." He said moving a bit to the other side of the lake. "No, you did your job in helping to raise the hybrid child."
"A child that had turned on us and now is back with the humans." Tidalwave sneered only earning a laugh from the giant dragon. He looked up at his master with cocked eyebrow before the giant spoke to him again.
"That is of no concern to us," The giant dragon spoke as he turned around with his back to them.
A flash of light illuminated the area causing the behemoth to looked up to see Stealth Shocker shooting small lightning bolts at the enraged Rumblehorn known as Ramhorn. The giant grinned before his eyes went to slits and a humming began to come from him. Soon the Skrill's laughs died down and his laughing stopped as he swooped down and landed on the outstretched hand of the giant dragon with the others looking at him hesitantly, wondering if the Skrill irritated the large dragon too much.
"The minds of dragons, powerful, but can be so easily controlled," he chuckled earning a few glares from the other three dragons present, "Even the strongest can succumbed to the control of those who are Alpha's, unlike humans though." He said with a scowl while at the same time releasing his control on the Skrill causing him to shake his head and blink rapidly while wondering what just happened.
The giant beast waved Stealth Shocker off of his hand before he turned back to the rest of the group that was there and growled. "Keep an eye on Hiccup for now until further instructions." The beast said before he slowly descended back into the water. "I have plans for are little hybrid, big plans."
Stealth Shocker cocked his head and waited for a moment until he knew the giant was gone and turned to his fellow brethren that were a standing there staring at the pool while they contemplated their masters words. "That's exactly what the Queen said," Stealth grunted and then laughed, "Big plans, big plans! How is his plan going to be different then hers?!"
The Nadder glared at the Skrill causing him to cower under his gaze before he toke to the air and went towards the exit. "The difference is brother, is that he'll win." Quickspike snarled while being followed by his brethren as they made their way back out into the misty sky.
So there's the prologue to the story.
After some thought and consideration and for some people giving me some ideas and commenting I changed my plans of just doing a story placed in the second movie and thought it would be better to make a story that talked a little about Hiccups adventures and make my way up to the 2 movie.
In this story we're going to explore more of the origins of Hiccup in his early years of being a hybrid and the hybrids in general. I'm going to use some episodes from the series of Riders, Defenders, and Race to the Edge for some of the story and there will eventually be some time skips here and there since I don't want to spend a whole lot of time with a younger Hiccup, but an older one.
It's going to be slower updating probably since it's close to the Holidays and with work and starting school in a bit. But I don't plan on leaving this story, since it's more of the popular ones I have done
Also I'm planning on making a series after that takes place after Httyd 2, such as doing episodes and seasons. But I probably won't be doing that till the sixth season of Race to the Edge comes out. Tell me your thoughts on that.
Again it' s great to be back.
