Hiccup

Hiccup woke up in the middle of the night. He saw it again. White and beautiful hair, big blue eyes with a snowflake pattern, colorless cool lips and a soft, thin, pale naked body as cold as ice. It looked like a boy, probably with the same age as Hiccup, but he never saw someone like that. All the men he saw until then were robust, with a rude posture and with ginger or brown hair. The strangest wasn't the boy itself, but the desire Hiccup had for him.

Why did this start all of sudden? I have never had these dreams. Maybe the moon is trying to tell me something. What is the reason behind this dream? I've never seen him in my life, and I don't think he is from here, with that body, and those clothes… And is he with a wooden staff? I guess worrying about it won't do much; all I can do now is to wait and see. Maybe it is just a dream that keeps repeating itself but with no particular reason.

He then tried to return to his peaceful sleep, but he couldn't. That image, that naked body was burned in his memory. It didn't matter how much he tried to forget, he couldn't do it. It was always there. A delicate, thin, cold silhouette standing in the white sky covered by tiny snowflakes that, for some reason, he couldn't see the details.

The sun raised and the earth was covered by a golden light. Unable to sleep, Hiccup put on his wooden leg and got up, with his half closed eyes, heading for the dining table. On his way Toothless woke up and followed him.

-Hi there, Toothless.

-Urahhh…

- What do you want today for breakfast?

Toothless, with a slow movement pointed to a bowl full of fish. Hiccup picked up a fish from it and threw it to Toothless mouth. Hiccup decided only to eat an apple. After that, along with Toothless he went to take a stroll on the forest.

It is good to see that the people from the village are living peacefully with the dragons; the times in which we fought them were terrible, dark times. The people were always worried about dragon attacks; no one could sleep peacefully, the men were always building weapons, the women holding their children hiding in their houses, the lives which were lost. At least we have surpassed those awful times.

The birds sang a happy but somehow melancholic song; the leaves were flying silently in the sky as the wind whispered his secrets. The silence was broken by Hiccup's and Toothless footsteps. Hiccup still couldn't walk as good as when he had his leg; after all it has only been only one month since he lost it. After walking about 30 minutes on the woods, Hiccup noticed something strange, a shining orb made of glass lying down in the ground near an old and tall tree.

Don't tell me…it is! It can only be it! The orb of profound happiness! I thought it was only a legend! But it exists! The orb which can summon the person you truly love by your side! But I have to be careful; I have to choose the right time and the right person to use it because it only works one time, after the summoning the orb destroys itself.

Hiccup picked up the orb, and stored it in his pocket while the penetrating gaze of Toothless trespassed the same. They stayed there for a while, resting under the son, catching some fish lying on the green, fresh grass.

Then, after catching a somehow good amount of fish, the rushed back, trough the same path in which they found that unusually beautiful place.

The night has fallen, the clouds cried slight tears of despair and sadness, as the island was covered by the shining reflection of the moon on the teardrops moved by the merciless wind, the cry of the cicadas broke the silence, but all this sadness and melancholy was ignored by the habitants of the island which slept happily on their houses.

However Hiccup didn't witness the same spiritual peace as the others. The limitless thoughts stabbed his mind, he couldn't ignore them, nor run away from them; they just kept tearing apart his mind over and over, as a pair of blades regretless destroying his soul until it turned into lifeless dust. Lying down in his bed he tried to eradicate all this thoughts, but he just couldn't, they were too powerful.

First these dreams, now this artifact…Moon, what are you trying to tell me? Please just give a clue…I don't know what to do…

But before he noticed, he fell gently in a deep sleep. As the time passed, words started to form in his expressionless mouth.

-Urmm…J…Jack…Frost.

In that moment, the orb started shining intensely and with the sound of a thunder it opened some kind of portal and from there got off a thin boy, a cold body, covered by the blow of the northern gods, hiding behind a blue sweater, a confused face, blue and mysterious eyes that could trespass someone's body and soul, white hair made of sad and forgotten snow.

In that moment, Hiccup's eyes opened…
