Summary
This is the what if story that everyone is doing. What if Hiccup ran away, and made himself a title, the fearsome dragon rider. (Yep, so creative) What if he was eventually caught by he fellow peers, only for those used-to-be teens to recognize the scrawny fishbone under the mask of black scales?
".. leaving. We are leaving." Said the young Viking as he walked into a hidden cove, hiding a bigger secret. The young scrawny Viking had very little things with him. He had a small pack, extra clothes and a sack of fish, indicating that he was intending to leave.
A black shape revealed itself from the shadows, crooning softly to the young boy with confusion and concern. This is the secret the cove has been hiding for a month, a young Night Fury sat near the young boy, it's head tilted and it's large yellow-green reptilian eyes to stare at the scrawny boy.
"We are going somewhere far away from here." Said the young teen, tightening the buckles to the straps that expanding over his chest.
"Somewhere we can settle and live out our lives peacefully." He continued on, the black creature watching him as the young teen picked up anything that indicated he was ever here. In his hands he held black smooth, flat stones, only they weren't stones. In fact, they where scales from the black creature itself.
He placed then delicately into the pack, as of they where glass. The young teen then sighed before fixing the saddle on the black creature, making sure that was securely strapped to the young black reptile before mounting the beast.
"Let's go toothless." The young boy said as he placed his foot into a mechanism that controlled the prosthesis tail. The reptile agreed with a soft croon and spread out its large black wings and took off into the sky.
As the pair soared throughout the clouds, little did they know that they left a very big clue to their existence in that peaceful cove.
In the clear water of the pond that took residence in the cove, laid a dagger. And inscribed on that dagger was the very name of the boy that flew off on the spawn of lightning and death itself.
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III.
