Title That Gives Nothing Away

by Anonymity is crucial

What if Hiccup was taken from his father and mother as a baby and then was raised by dragons? Then what if he was found by Astrid and the rest of the gang and taken back to Stoick. Will the village accept him? Or will the secret past about him be the death of him? Sorry I suck big time at writing summaries Rated T because I'm paranoid *grins sheepishly*

Enjoy!

Chapter 1

Stoick the Vast was a fearsome Viking who supposedly ripped the head of a dragon as a baby. Now everyone on Berk believe this because well their Vikings. Now Berk is not your normal island. Instead of Mosquitoes or flies they have dragons. And this whole thing started one of the nights when Stoick's son was just a baby. There had been an increase in dragon activity lately and the Vikings were preoccupied with killing them off.

Valla was Stoick's wife and mother of his son. She was as fierce a warrior as Stoick and wanted to protect her island, but she had a child to look after. And he was only barely one. Hiccup was what they called him because he was a hiccup. The smallest of the bunch. A scrawny piece of skin and bones that would make great use a dragon chew toy. No one in the village really expected him to survive a week let alone past his first birthday. But here he is.

Valla was sitting with Hiccup on her lap all bundled up and asleep. She was sitting near the fire pit at the center of the room clutching an axe with her free hand. She heard continuous shouts and roars from both Viking and dragon alike. She was not one for feelings, but every time something slammed against the side of her house, she winced and flinched in fear and out of pain for whoever had just gotten thrown against the house. Then all was silent. Valla was curious so she crept quietly to the door. She had put Hiccup into his little cradle that Gobbet had made for him when he was a newborn. She had reached the door and it swung open. The fire that burned with such vigor in the pit was put out by the gust of wind from the door. Valla glanced briefly out the door seeing neither dragon nor Viking. She was just about to step out when a dragon dropped down in front of her. She let out a gasp and backed up, still clutching her axe.

The dragon was glaring at her with brilliant green eyes that matched her son's strangely enough. That dragon crouched as if to spring the crept forward through the door.

It had dark blue scales with brilliant golden designs sailed throughout its scales. It had a fairly shorter snout with very long razor sharp teeth that could easily chomp her in half this very moment. Its feet were strong and a dark green color. Each foot, or paw, held five sharp black claws capable of tearing a door down with one swipe, no matter the strength of the door. The dragon's horns twisted and curled away from its body and ended in points so jagged that they could impale you and you wouldn't feel the death set in until it already did. Its eyes burned with a fierce fire of which Valla had never seen. In fact she had never seen such a dragon. It was a new species. It stalked over to her and the turned, opening its beautiful emerald green wings. They also had golden swirls by more subtle. There were also hints of blue and purple on the dragon's wings. The wing span measured to be at least 40 feet and they weren't fully opened because the house was too small.

It continued to glare at her with that same fire that it had. She then gasped. This dragon reminded her of Hiccup in the strangest sort of way. Without warning the dragon closed its wings and Valla was pinned against the wall by four inch long amazingly lethal spines. They only fought on the dress which caused her to remain plastered to the wall but not injured. She watched as the dragon crept over to her son and reaches its head in. She yelled at it and thrashed about trying to pry herself from this accursed wall, but to no avail. She screamed and shouted as the dragon lifted her son by his shirt and placed him gently his back. Hiccup took notice of his new surroundings and wanted to explore. He started to crawl off one side of the dragon, with a goofy grin plastered on his face he started to wobble. The dragon noticed and grabbed Hiccup back in its mouth. With the child firmly held between the dragons strong jaws, it turned and started to head out the door. It knew that the mother would be horribly mad at it for taking her only son and decided to leave before she broke out of her temporary prison on the wall. As the dragon made its way through the door, the mother was still kicking and screaming to get down and let her baby down.

The dragon decided to leave while it could and away for the other dragons. This baby was its and its only. It heard the other Vikings returning from chasing the dragons through the forest. This attack there was only a few dragons so some of the Vikings followed them to see where they headed. Foolish humans thought the dragon. There was a few who remained behind though. These Vikings heard Valla screaming herself to tears and came running. They got there just in time to see a magnificent dragon with an enormous wingspan of 98 feet, spread its wings and take to the air. They were too late to stop it. They rushed in to help Valla and all the while she shouted that the dragon took her son and flew away. She eventually broke down into tears and then to sobs. Vikings don't show emotions but at the moment she didn't care. She just wanted her baby back.

Berk

The age was yet again attacked. The damage was extensive and none other than Stoick the Vast was leading the forces against the dragons. Valla was killed by a monstrous nightmare while trying to save the Hofferson's daughter, Astrid. She and the other toddlers who were ranging from four to five decided to help their parents. So the little band of toddlers made up of Astrid as leader, Snotlout, the twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut, as well as poor little Fishlegs. He was only three but wanted to help the older ones. They ended up almost getting themselves killed and getting Valla killed as well. It was terrible. Hints only got worse with the dragons. All of the Vikings were willing to risk their lives to protect their home, but they were all done with the dragons. They knew they couldn't keep this up forever. They needed help.

Dragon's nest

Hiccup woke up to his "mothers" face staring down at him. She cooed at him to get up so he did.

"Come sleepy head you must awaken just as you brothers and sisters have" his mother cooed. She was very sweet and treated Hiccup as one of her own. He was terrified of dragons but now he loved them and they were his only family he had left. Hiccups brother, Snaggle, a baby dragon that looked exactly like his mother was try to hop out of the tree in which their nest was located. They were high on the top of one of the tallest trees on the island. As well as being on a tree they were also at the edge of a cliff that dropped off for miles below.

"Don't go too close to the edge, you might get frightened again and fall. Then mommy would have to save you again like last time" screeched Hiccups sister, Icelavender. She was a pale blue and green color with icy blue eyes, but other than the color difference, perfectly resembled her mother. Hiccup always stayed away from the edge for he didn't want to be scolded. His mother and siblings were beautiful dragons and Hiccup loved them like family, but he wanted to know his real family too. Even if he was only three years of age.

5 years later

Berk

So Astrid and her little brigade have since been training. Now they were all 8, 9 and 10 years old. Gobbet was training him and showing them the ropes of dragon killing. Their parents approved of this which was no surprise. Astrid had overheard some of the fellow people on Berk talking about Stoick's son. She had heard this tale before by her parents warning her of the dangers of dragons. But truthfully if that dragon wanted to kill Stoick's wife and son he could have right then but the unknown dragon had tacked Valla to the wall with spines and literally took the boy. She never talked about it because when she did she was scolded. Same with any of her other friends. There were saying how Stoick was losing it because he had no one to love anymore. Everything he cared about was snatched by the incessant dragons. Astrid just continued to walk by but as she did she listened in. This is when she realized that she was going to kill the dragon to get on his good graces. Stoick wasn't the easiest to talk to especially when it came to his son or wife. He once banished a guy for talking to him about it and apparently saying the wrong thing. She was going to kill this unknown species of dragon. And she was going to have some help.

Dragon's nest

The Silent Beauty was the name of the type of dragon Hiccups siblings and mother was. He named it himself. They all seemed to like it so it stuck. Anyways, Hiccup was getting kind of fed up with sitting in a nest all day so one day he decided to go for a walk. He had climbed out of the nest before to grabs some stuff because the truth was he loved to invent new stuff. It usually didn't work but with a few tweaks and slight modifications it ended up working perfectly. Like he had made a wing suit so he could soar with his siblings even though there was only two of them left. The other ones failed to fly and plummeted to their deaths down in the cliff. Icelavender and Snaggle were the only ones left and they had died when he was four almost five. That was other than Hiccup and his mother. Well, when Hiccup crawled from out of the tree he jumped down the branches with ease not even using his arms much. Only to using the wing suit to help with the balance. He landed silently on the ground and walked in a random direction, not caring where he ended up. Not long after he began his trek he stumbled upon a cove. There was a pristine clear pool below and lovely greenery. Hiccup thought for a moment before soaring down to the bottoms using his wind suit. Unfortunately on his way down from the tree one of the branches had torn a slight hole in one of the wings causing him to plummet down and land on a rock. As he made contact the pain rippled through him and he blacked out. The land thing he heard was a slight warble and then silence.

(Flashback)

(Three year old Hiccup)

Hiccup climbed down the tree to go explore. He started to wander aimlessly around the forest avoiding being sighted by almost everything. Hiccup wandered for about an hour or so until he came to the edge of a cove. He peered over the edge and saw a small black creature shoot up the side of the cove but only to glide down without any grace at all. It was a baby night fury. Hiccup knew that it wouldn't be able to fly because one of its tail fins was missing. He knew how to fix it. He left his spot at the top of the cove to grab some supplies from the nest. When he returned, the baby night fury was hanging upside down from a tree branch. Hiccup cautiously crept over to it and talked to it in a very calm gentle voice. He was not the best at talking because he as only three but he could get the main point across.

"Do not be afraid little dragon baby. I want to help you fly once more. How did this happen?" At the sound of Hiccup's voice the baby night fury hopped down from the tree and carefully stalked over to Hiccup like he was a piece of prey. It sniffed him curiously and sat on its haunches and cocked its head at him. The baby dragon warbled softly at him and sniffed the strange device clutched in the little toddler's hand. The boy reached out to pet the baby dragon and the baby night fury returned the gesture. This boy was trying to help him. Not trying to hunt him. The night fury could sense this and put its nose against the boy's hand. Hiccup giggled like a little child would and walked behind the dragon. He attached the tail piece testing it out a few times before putting the miniature saddle on the small night fury. Hiccup the. Walked in front of the dragon and smiled a big lopsided grin. The night fury returned the gesture once more to his best ability. His teeth were retracted into his gums at the time and gave the feel he had not teeth. Hiccup decided to call the dragon Toothless because of the lack of teeth. Slowly Hiccup climbed upon Toothless' back and slipped his foot into the mechanism that he would use to steer and help Toothless fly with. The boy murmured something soft to the dragon and they took to the sky. Over the course of the next few weeks, Hiccup and Toothless flew and practiced. Hiccup was very intelligent for a three year old and Toothless was a very fast learner. Before long they were speeding around the island at top speeds. One day Hiccup decide to go on a longer journey. He hopped on Toothless, Hiccup was now four and Toothless was almost full grown, and they flew off the island promising to return in a couple days. His mother agreed that he should explore but Hiccup could tell she was still grieving for Icelavender and Snaggle. They had both left the nest but were immediately shot down and slain. Hiccup was still mourning as well. They were his siblings for since he was a baby. He left the nest and went to the cove. He called Toothless and they took off into the ocean. They landed not far from the island they were from but looked at it from a distance. Hiccup knew he would stay here for a month or so. He suddenly heard a pained screeched coming from some trees in the forest. Hiccup went to investigate leaving Toothless at the beach. As Hiccup came closer to the sound, it grew louder. Then he Escher a small sized clearing and saw quite a few injured dragons. It was shocking to him. So many injured dragons. The one who cried in pain was an I dredging dragon. It had a yellowish orangish color of scales and an owl shaped head that was a cream color. It had two enormous wings that were about 67 feet long from wing tip to wing tip. One of its wings was bent at an awkward angle that showed it was broken. Hiccup took a single step forward and tripped over a fallen log. He cried out as his leg contacted with a rock and he rolled into the clearing. All of the dragons looked at him quizzically without any hatred shown. Hiccup was clutching his leg almost in tears when he decided to try to get back to Toothless. He stood and fell right back down in agony. His leg was broken. He knew he had to splint it. It was a very later shape rock and Hiccups bones were very flimsy and fragile. He dragged himself to a certain tree with low hanging branches and stood up on one leg. He was still holding his breath and let out a short gasp of pain as he moved his leg. He quickly grabbed two of the sturdiest branches he saw on the ground and ripped some vines coma tree nearby. Hiccup fashioned himself a splint and then tried putting a little weight on it. It still hurt a lot but was partially bearable now. He looked at the other dragons that were currently staring at him, before running off to get Toothless. Though his run was more of a hobble and he continued to stumble and fall. One of the dragons decided to help him. This particular dragon was a pale blue deadly nadder that had part of its wing torn. It couldn't fly anymore she knew but she still decided to help this boy. He was injured like the rest of them. None of the other dragons were fit to fly or fight Vikings. Even if this boy in anyway resembled a Viking he seemed like a good spirit and probably what convinced them the most he wasn't hostile was the fact he was no larger than any of their own kids. That and he smelled of the Silent Beauty, the most well know yet very hard to get a glimpse of. The Silent Beauty smell on him was one that they all knew well. It was their queen from the island they came from. She saw they were injured and tried to help them escape from that horrible ring. They succeeded for the most part except for a few. The pale blue nadder a brother being one that didn't make it. The Silent Beauty, also known as Nada, had helped them survive for this long. Without her they would all be dead. As the nadder sped off into the trees after the boy, she did not have to go far. He had fallen on his face and squirming in pain. The nadder silently thanked no one in particular that the boy was still alive and had not been taken away or eaten. She cooed to him and he opened his eyes to see her staring down at him. She knew this boy couldn't understand her, so the next part surprised her.

"Hello nadder. Your wing is badly damaged. I can help you. In fact I can help all of you. I just need to get back to my friend at the beach" said Hiccup. The nadder looked surprised. She had never heard a human speak perfectly to her in her language. "You need a name. Mine is Hiccup. Not sure why but I go with it. Anyways what should your name be? I know how about Icewing because you're the color of ice." The deadly nadder purred as she loved the name. She gently nudged the boy to his one good foot and put him on her back. Icewing let out a little screech and charged ahead. As soon as they reached the beach, the boy steered her to an overhang. He dismounted from her back and crept into the shadows. There was a small warble heard from in the shadows and Icewing knew about was. She called out "friend is that you?"

"Yes it is. I see you've met my friend Hiccup. You probably saved his life just like he saved mine. I lost a tail fin. The only way I can fly is with him" replied Toothless slinking out of the shadows. Icewing peered in at the boy who was grabbing some bags that smelled weird.

"Let's go Toothless, I have everything I need to help" said the boy called Hiccup. With that Hiccup got on Toothless who took Icewing in his feet and the flew back to the clearing. After a few days, Hiccup's leg was getting better and all of the injured dragons are also on the road to recovery. All of them would be able to fly and fight once more.

It's been two months since Hiccup landed at the island and he has made a multitude of new friends. All of them dragons. Hiccup has to leave because his mother wanted him home in time to celebrate his birthday and that was tomorrow. He quickly said goodbye to all of his friends and promised he would return. They promised him that if anyone they knew got injured they would bring them here and send their fastest dragon to get him. He agreed and flew off.

End of flashback

Hiccup woke up with a groan and rubbed his head. He turned toward Toothless who was fully grown and very protective of him. Every two months they flew out to Mending Island. Stupid name but it needed one. Hiccup and Toothless stayed there for two months before returning to Berk for a month. They continue to do this and will always continue to do so. Hiccup had made a promise that he would never break.

One year later

Berk

Astrid had failed to find the slightest clue about where the nest was located. She was stumped. Though a Viking was stubborn and hard headed Astrid was at the breaking point. She was losing it.

Dragon's nest

"I cannot care for you any longer my dear. I have taught you to speak as they do though not well. Good luck" Nada told her son one day. She knew that he would have to return to his own kind some day and decided that today would be the best. She also knew about his friend the night fury and all of the other dragons he rescued.

"But mom" Hiccup whined "What about you and Toothless and the others?"

"I will lead the others and carry the injured here to Berk. They will be in the cove you discovered. I will camouflage the outside and make it so no one can get in. I have never told you this but I have a certain type of dragon magic that if I feel I am done I may pass it along to my choice of creature to use. I decided to choose you my dear. I know you have a open heart and a very adventurous and curious mind filled with ideas and I want you to use his magic when you need to. I bestow upon you my knowledge of everything I have ever learned of dragons and all other creatures. Of islands and seas. Of plants and life itself. Use it well. Make sure I remain in your heart and also promise me you will never misuse my magic. I trust you Hiccup. Don't fail me. I also can give you one more thing. The ability to change into any dragon ever, known or unknown, alive or extinct as well as communicating fluently with any type of dragon alive. They will listen to you if you tell them you know me. It is getting late. I will drop everything of yours in the cove with Toothless. Then I shall leave to protect my species from being wiped out. My island is very far from here and I do not plan to return. Promise me Hiccup, you will make Vikings nice to dragons and not kill them on sight. Please promise."

"I promise mom. I won't let you down." Hiccup looked up at his mother's figure for she was resting on her haunches. His mother touched her nose to his head and Hiccup felt a slight tingle. She pulled away, stared sadly into his eyes as if saying, promise me and remember, then Nada took to the sky. Hiccup just sat and cried.

Hiccup had made his way to the cove and noticed that everything from his home was here just as his mother had promised. As well as his stuff, all of his dragon friends were there as well. There was also some new faces. Hiccup didn't mind. He smiled inwardly and patted Toothless on the head. "I need to go now" Hiccup explained to the dragons "I will be back though I promise." With that he sprung up the rocks and changed into a night fury that was a deep purple and took off into the night heading straight for the village. He knew this was a very scary journey and he must stay hidden. As he reached the edge of the village he touched down in a tree and changed back to his normal self. He preferred this form the best. He sat in the tree until morning when he awoke with a start. Someone was hurling an axe at three he was in. Hiccup just sat there and slowly peered through the leaves until he made out the shape of a girl who looked about his age. She had blonde hair that was pulled tightly into a braid. Her skirt was a shorter brown one with what looked like spikes. To match her shoulder pads had spikes as well. Her shirt was a player blue. The girl's eyes were a bright blue color that seemed to sparkle and dance in the early morning light. Hiccup was decided whether or not to talk to her when he heard some rustling in the brush beside the girl. She was startled and raised her axe only to lower it in annoyance. A chubby boy was jumping around looking very excited about something. The. Came a tougher looking one followed by two more, a girl and boy who almost looked exactly alike. The only difference was that the girl's hair was in braids and the boys was just down. They all started to chat and Hiccup understood. He surprised himself by knowing their language, and then again his mother had given him all knowledge she had so that would explain it. Just when Hiccup decided to jump from his tree to the next, the branch he grabbed onto broke and fell right onto the head of the girl twin. Hiccup held his breath as they looked up almost straight at him.

"Who ever is up there come down before I chuck my axe at your face" yelled the girl with bright blue eyes. She looked serious. But a slight bit amused as well. Hiccup decided that it would be best to just show himself and get it over with. He jumped down onto tree limb after tree limb like a lithe monkey and landed right behind the blue eyed girl. Hiccup landed silently and they were all too intent on searching the trees for him. Hiccup scurried closer to the underbrush then cleared his throat so they knew he was there. They all spun on their heels and the chubby one fainted. Hiccup was confused at the shocked stares directed at him.

"Who are you? What's your name?"

"My name is Hiccup and I am a nine almost ten year old boy" Hiccup replied to the girl twin who asked him the question. The mouths dropped even lower when he said his name. The girl with the blue eyes grabbed his arm and dragged him behind her. The rest of the group followed with shocked expressions still plastered to their faces. They arrived at the village and everyone who was out at the time was looking at them as they dragged this strange scrawny boy to the largest house. In side on a wooden stool carving a duck sat a very large man with a huge unkempt red beard.

"Stoick, I mean chief, we found your son" said Astrid. The chief looked up and at Astrid. Then he slowly glanced at the others in the group until his eyes fell upon Hiccup. Hiccup tried to squirm away from his gaze, but Astrid held him fast. Suddenly, the memories came flooding back. Stoick the Vast was the Viking leader of Berk. Stoick was Hiccups father. Valla was Stoick's wife and Hiccups mother. Hiccup looked bravely up at Stoick and held his gaze.

"Hey dad it's been a while I guess?"

"Son...you you're okay" Stoick exclaimed before taking the boy into his arms and swinging him around. Stoick finally found something to live for again other than his people. His son was safe at home. Older and still skinny, but safe. And that was all that mattered.

Present

Hiccup was now 14. He had not let anyone now about Toothless or any of the other dragons he helped. He still left for two months before returning with new ores and weapons that were lighter, stronger and sharper. He also had armor made out of a very strong dragon hide and a bunch of scales from different dragons, mainly Toothless though. However, no one noticed his disappearances or returns. Hiccup didn't want to upset any of them so he hid the new weapons and armor he made as well as the new ores he discovered, in a cave that was very concealed and impossible to find if you didn't know it was there. Everyone on Berk knew Hiccup had returned after years of being missing, but the truth was everyone was ecstatic that he had gone. Hiccup was a scrawny runt who was no more than a hiccup to any of them. Hiccup noticed their hate toward him and decided to go with it even though his heart ached from all of the negative remarks he received. Being back he also learned that the dragons, he knew were controlled by the queen dragon, were attacking and killing in self defense the Vikings that hated him so much. Hiccup did nothing and was still a disappointment to his father.

When Hiccup turned 15, his father told him he was starting dragon training and he would do it with the kids who found him. Hiccup hated the thought. All of them hated his guts except for Fishlegs who really just avoided him. When Hiccup learned that he would have to kill dragons he knew he had to change his father's mind. The conversation was really one sided. In other words, he was starting dragon training in the morning.

That night, Hiccup snuck out the back door that he crept through many times before to get to the cove. Once he reached his destination he jumped down from rock to rock before running into the cave were his weapons and armor were cleverly stashed. He knew he was going to need them. He grabbed the armor and put it on. It was lighter, yet stronger than any other armor. It was also very flexible and the best part not even a Nadder's spines could penetrate it. Hiccup had also added a special feature and had improved his original design that had caused him to crash land in this very cove years ago. Hiccup had added Nightfury like wings that he could make come out on his arms and allow him to fly with Toothless when he liked. Hiccup had tested the wings before and they worked amazingly. They were jet back and were almost exactly Nightfury wings. The only difference was that Hiccup's weren't as long or big as a Nightfury's. Hiccup grabbed his small dagger from the floor. It was made of blue Zarconium ore that is only found where Silent Beauty's reside. Hiccup had a bunch of each ore that he collected. Blue Zarconium ore is the strongest metal like ore known currently to him and by far makes the best and might I add, the coolest looking weapons. Hiccup slid it into an expertly crafted slit in his armor that concealed it so no one could see it or feel it. Hiccup took off the armor and noticed Toothless in the door way.

"What are you up to now? Going dragon killing" Toothless said. He tried to smirk, but it just made Hiccup crack up. Hiccup laughed and Toothless made a warble that sounded like a laugh. Toothless backed up away from the narrow entrance and Hiccup exited.

"My dad is forcing me to do dragon training. I tried to tell him I couldn't fight dragons, but the conversation we had was very one sided. I have to fight my friends and probably end up killing one." Hiccup sat down on a rock and Toothless wandered over to him. He looked just as sad as Hiccup did. "I don't know what to do bud. I don't know what to do" Hiccup said with a hint of defeat showing in his voice. With that he slumped down to the sandy floor and Toothless curled up around him. Hiccup drifted into a worried slumber. He would not fight the dragons. He could not.
