Chapter 1: My Life Sped Up
"Ok, so this is Berk, my home, nightmare, and well the only place on earth that has my love on it. Oh and my names Hiccup, weird I know but I have to live with it. I fell for Astrid Hofferson, however, she never really liked me nor did anyone else except for my father who I could have sworn that he only liked me because he had to. I could be wrong but honestly, he tried to disown me at one point, he would never listen to me about anything, and well, when there was something that was wrong with me, he would gesture to all of me. So did everyone else actually. I'm getting ahead of myself though."
"I tried my best to impress everyone by killing a dragon. Only problem was that every time I tried to, something would go horribly wrong. Finally one night I managed to bring down a dragon and in return I still managed to set things on fire and let the dragons escape. No one believed me but I wasn't going to give up anytime soon. I set out to find that dragon and to my surprise I found it lying on the ground, wrapped up. I set it free and it screamed in my ear and flew off clumsily. I was finally able to get close to it and actually befriended the beast as well as fixed his tail so that he could fly again." Hiccup said as he threw a few fish toward Toothless. "That's my dragon Toothless, my first real friend on this island that seemed to plague me for years but once again I digress slightly."
"Now I would have loved to have told everyone that I made friends with a dragon but that would have resulted in one of a few things. One, I would have probably been banished from the island, been killed for even being with one. Ok so that thought was greatly over exaggerated but my father scared me and since he didn't like to listen to me, you can imagine my thought process but again I have gone off topic."
"I still can't believe my dad put me into dragon training which almost got me killed and definitely got me yelled at. The more time I spent with Toothless, the more I learned about dragons and the better I did which infuriated Astrid greatly. At that point I figured there was no way she would be my girlfriend and it really didn't help when I was announced the best in the class. That really set Astrid off and that's when she learned about Toothless. Now I knew she wanted to know where I would disappear to and yet I was still surprised that she found Toothless and me. So I kidnapped her after she threatened to report me to my father. I just couldn't let Astrid get Toothless killed; he was the only real friend I had. So I did what I had to do and had Toothless pick her up off the ground and put her in a tree. She really didn't like me for that but it had to be done to get her to listen to me."
"We went flying around Berk and she actually seemed to relax and enjoy it. That is, after Toothless decided to freak her out with twist and turns and well, anything you can think of to freak her out without getting her killed. We flew around for quiet some time and if I remember correctly, we didn't really get to return home right away as hundreds if not thousands of dragons came flying past us and around us. That's when we learned about where the dragons nest is and where our animals ended up. Turned out that a giant dragon controlled all the smaller ones and well it was one heck of a ride out of the nest." Hiccup sat up in his bed.
"The next day I went alone into the dragon training arena with Astrid scared for my life. I couldn't believe that she actually liked me. My father looked so proud which is why it killed me to have to disappoint him but I had to try and show everyone that dragons weren't evil. That backfired when my dad freaked the dragon that I almost had under control. The dragon went nuts but Toothless protected me. I really thought that my dad would think that not all dragons were evil since Toothless was protecting me. I couldn't have been more wrong. That's when my dad found out about the nest due to a screw up of words on my part. That's when he practically disowned me. He didn't listen to me about the giant dragon in the nest. He left with tons of Vikings to go after the nest which I knew was a completely stupid idea but of course the only one that would listen to me was Astrid."
"Astrid and I managed to get Snotlout, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, and Fishlegs to go and try to stop the others and free Toothless. Unfortunately however, we were a tad late, they had awoken the giant dragon and that's when my dad realized how stupid the whole thing was. All the boats had been set on fire and well Toothless ended up at the bottom of the ocean, I guess, no thanks to him being tied up on the boat and unable to move. I knew I had to try and save my buddy but I didn't have the strength to free him. I almost blacked out when my dad grabbed me and pulled me out. The next thing I knew, toothless had shot out of the water carrying my dad who was dropped next to me. I climbed on top of Toothless and flew off to fight the giant dragon. My dad tried to stop me but he never could before and this was no exception."
"I fought with the dragon and led him into the cloudy sky. After a little bit of flying around and blasting the beast with Toothless's lightning, we did a dive toward the water. The dragon followed fortunately, the home made tail had been set on fire and so we didn't have much time to take out the beast following us. We got so close to the water and then flipped around and sent a blast into the dragons' mouth. We then went flying upward but that's when Toothless right half burned up and then we got hit by the other dragons' tail. We got separated and then the next thing I knew, I woke up with a mostly metal leg."
"I walked out of my room with the help of toothless and noticed dragons everywhere. I freaked out for a second and then walked out of my room with everyone congratulating me. I thought I had died but my dad said no but I gave it my best shot. I walked down toward everyone and that's when Astrid came over to me and punched my arm for scaring her and then she kissed me. Everyone finally respected me for well this." Hiccup laughed as he gestured to himself. "It's been quiet a few years since then but instead of just talking to you for another six or so hours, well, you'll see soon enough."
A/N: This is my first HTTYD fic and I hope you enjoyed the first chapter though it's everything that you know already but I wanted to set it up a little differently. Have Hiccup explain his life and then go from there. I hope the story turns out ok and W.i.t.c.h will come up but not for a few chapters or so. Please review and thanks ahead of time. BTW, does anyone know the name of Astrid's parents and the name of the Elder?
