Hello everyone! This is my first fanfic, hope you enjoy. I know it's short, but this is just the prologue. Next chapter will likely be uploaded tomorrow as I've already begun work on it.
I'd appreciate some reviews!
Prologue
Hiccup sat at his desk with a blank booklet open in front of him. A pencil held motionless in his hand as he stared down at the white paper, trying to think of something to write down. He'd been in this position for over an hour now, and was on the verge on giving up. Whose idea was it to get him a diary as a birthday present? The only person that cares at this point he supposed.
To his dad's credit, the book looked and felt pretty expensive. The cover and binder were made of thick, brown leather, and it had a buckle to hold it shut that could be locked. It didn't come with a lock, much to Hiccup's disappointment.
But he still hated the thing. Not because it was a lame present (which it kind of was), but because carved into the front and back cover was a Night Fury. Why? The carving was quite detailed, it certainly looked cool, and if he wasn't so unpopular at school, it would've been a nice thing to show off.
The reason was quite simple. He didn't have a Night Fury. In fact, he didn't even have a dragon. One of the reasons why he was so unpopular. Everyone had a dragon. Even the homeless person that lives on the sidewalk across the street has a dragon. But he didn't. He was the only person on Berk, and probably the next three towns across, that didn't have a dragon. Hence the nickname, courtesy of one Snotlout Jorgenson, 'Hiccup the Dragonless'.
"Hiccup!" A familiar voice called from downstairs.
"Yeah?" Hiccup shouted back, shutting his empty diary.
"Come down, dinner's ready."
He sighed. He hated eating downstairs. "Can I eat it up here?"
"Last time you ate there you spilt soup all over your keyboard." His dad replied.
"But that was because Snotlout threw and egg at my wind- "
"Just get down here Hiccup, I'm not arguing with you over this."
Seeing no point in fighting, he reluctantly got up and headed downstairs.
By the time Hiccup was done with dinner it was almost nine o'clock, which was also his embarrassingly early bedtime. He took a quick shower, and locked himself inside his room. His dad never checks on him, which works well in his favor. He waited for his dad to finish up downstairs and go to bed before jumping on his computer. It was his only source of entertainment.
