Sup guys? Lighting Wolf here, back with another story. This one about How to Train Your Dragon. Enjoy the 700- word chapter. I don't own HTTYD, Dream works does.
"That all you got, Haddock?"
"It's more than your fighting with, Hofferson!" Havak Haddock said as he swung his sword and was rewarded with sparks as it bounced off the shield his friend, Rose Hofferson. The girl rolled as her crimson hair was tucked out of her eyes. One would mistake her as Astrid at first glance but would be wrong as the girl not only sported Crimson hair, but fur pelts that covered her arms, a crown like head band that had spikes coming off it and fur covering her shirt and neck which were more armored and looked less like the blue shirt her sister always wore but was red and covered her arms.
"Is that all the adopted son of Stoick the Vast has?" Rose said as she swung her sword and Havak knocked the blow to the side with his sword.
"Says the younger sister of Astrid, you couldn't take down a Terrible Terror." Rose cracked her neck.
"Oh, you're so dead for that!" Sword blow after blow was deflected as the two spent the better part of an hour trading and blocking blows. Rose panted in exhaustion as she sat on a rock and wiped the sweat off her face with her hand.
"You know, for an adopted boy, you're not a bad sword fighter. Well, not as bad as I am skilled." Havak snorted, he had been found one day on the shores of Berk after a Dragon raid and had been adopted by Stoick himself, the boy looked down at the armor that hung over his shirt, his arms, legs shoulders and chest had armor to protect himself in battle but it did little to slow his mobility as he moved a piece of his brown hair out of his face.
"Says the girl who is always being overshadowed by her sister." Rose huffed as well and sat down next to her friend.
"Very funny, so funny I forgot to laugh." Havak grinned as he blocked an attempt for Rose to slug him in the arm.
"You know, your 'brother' isn't as bad as people think, I do wonder why everyone looks down on him so much." Havak snorted and answered in a huff.
"It's because people want him to be more like Stoick, I may not be his brother by blood…. Doesn't mean I look down on him for not being a warrior, I took up sword fighting because you liked to train with me, Rose. You think I honestly care about this whole 'war' that my dad is planning for? Berk survived dozens of attacks by Dragons, it hasn't fallen then, it won't fall now, people need to stop expecting Hiccup and me to fight and do all the hard work for them, I am not going to war just because it's what the people want." Rose nodded and spoke up as she looked at her hair.
"Yeah, I know. People want me to be more like my sister and be warrior Valkyrie like my sister is called, just because I look like her and people love how skilled with a sword I am, doesn't mean I'm going to turn out like my sister, I'm Rose Hofferson, proud sword maiden of Berk and warrior of the Hofferson Clan." Havak grinned.
"And I am Havak Haddock, adopted son of Stoick the Vast, brother to Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third, and swordsmen of the Haddock clan." The two friends grinned.
"Ok, let's get going before someone suspects we are doing something weird." Rose nodded and grabbed her weapon as the two walked out of the forest clearing they had chosen to train in, both friends were not given more than a glance and that was what they preferred was they walked to the middle of town.
"See you after I go check on how my 'brother' is." Rose nodded.
"See you after I go keep my sister from going warrior on the family." Both walked away, both unware of the events about to unfold in their Village.
Author notes
Ok, this story is going to follow the parts of the movie and onwards…. Just not from Hiccup's point of view, he will still be in the story, as will Astrid and the others, but they will be appearing somewhat different. I will be uploading 2 chapters a week, the next chapter being tomorrow. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
