Hello, this is my first Fic. I'm trying to create my own universe but I plan on appearing to all the HTTYD characters, and why not, the odd surprise. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it, I am attentive to suggestion and know what you think!
It's the first time I write in another language, Spanish is my native language, so if there is someone there willing to lend me a hand with the writing I would be more than grateful.
As you suspect, I do not own the HTTYD characters. All the corresponding credits are for DreamWorks and Cressida Cowell.

Foreword.

Thousands of years ago some of the Howenh, better known as transforming gods, had gathered to discuss their abilities. Each of them was strong, proud and believed that he was superior to others, belittling the worlds that his colleagues had created, since they were not able to observe the beauty between the difference. It was then when in the middle of a heated discussion a proposal arose: it would be a competition, a new world would be created and each of the gods would deposit their creation in it, thus having all the pieces on the same board, they could define once and for all who was the most powerful and wise. The created world would be named in honor of the vanquisher and that place would be the trophy that would perpetuate the memory of his or her sovereignty.
A great spherical mass was created as the canvas on which the fiercest and most fortuitous of battles would be fought. The first to embody his work was the God Kénos, who in an attempt to demonstrate his power, gave the great mass a radiant core of energy, which was wrapped with a substance he called earth, thus ensuring to affect any creation that his adversaries put on the surface. The God Kojh when perceiving the intention of Kenos, wrapped the mass with a crystalline substance that received the name of water. For his part, the God Shenrr created an envelope that he called heaven and a transparent substance called air, which fulfilled the space between heaven and earth. Unexpectedly, other gods did not intervene immediately and limited themselves to seeing with mockery the confrontation of their companions.
Slowly, the world was becoming what we know today, Shenrr created a whole universe of lights that would envelop their work, Kenos made fragments of land emerge among the waters, he created volcanoes, mountains and deserts, Kojh created seas, rivers and lakes, At some point, what started as a competition became a funny game. A peace alliance was born.
The more the world was transformed, the gods were more marveled at the capabilities of their adversaries, and happier at appreciating the beauty of their work. The later, to the extent that what were at first sober and aggressive words, were now suggestions and praises. What began as an attempt to demonstrate superiority, became the most wonderful work of all, one that combined the talent and wisdom of all the gods.
The couple of lovers Kren and Kre who had remained on the sidelines, created the sun and the moon respectively, each illuminating half of the globe and causing it to turn around the sun, and the moon will always accompany the sphere in its path, as a sign that both would always be together, and not only that, the moon would change shape slowly with the passage of time, and would influence the creation of Kojh. The god Josh (brother of Kre and Kojh) created a substance as white as the moon, which he called snow and with which he covered some of the highest mountains and volcanoes, thus creating beautiful snowy landscapes, which would give an immaculate appearance to some regions every four lunar cycles. Finally Akáinik, the most peaceful of the gods, created the rainbow, whose beauty would hover over the earth, and for its creation water and light would be combined, thus sealing the union of all their talents.
A magical world had been created, but something was still missing. All the gods joined forces to create life. The earth dressed in green, the lakes and seas of Kojh were filled with living creatures of all shapes and colors. The sky was crossed by graceful flying creatures, whose sounds distressed the senses of the gods, and the earth was populated by different animals, but still seemed not enough, then the gods created man and woman, creatures to whom the gods would share their capacity to create, who should care for and protect their creation, which they called in consensus Cenuke. The gods polished their work for millennia, created a self-sustaining world, where living creatures supported each other for their survival, thus creating an endless cycle.
As time passed, they watched the man and woman stand out among the other animals and understood that in them rested the greatest of their combined virtues, the power to transform, they decided then not to intervene anymore and admire from the distance their most wonderful creation.
- That's how we became what we are now, we made this world our home, and we transformed the creation of the gods into our own civilization. - The young honey-eyed woman turned her gaze to the sleeping blonde girl resting on her lap, sighed and said:
- My beautiful Astrid, I had not even reached the part where the gods sent the dragons.

Author's note:

This prologue was written to tell you a little about the background of this story. If you are interested in knowing a little about these Gods, they correspond to the Selknam mythology, and those mentioned here are the Howenh. Formerly the Selknam believed that the Howenh were Gods ancestors, who inhabited the earth and are known as the transformers, as they helped create the planet Earth as we know it. Of course I am not a historian, I will only take advantage of their names and rewrite their history in my own way. However, each God will represent his or her respective role and element according to this mythology.
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it!
