Chapter 1:

POV - Merida

"Mother! Ya know the Deal!" Merida shouted to her mother, "Its ma day off t'day!"

"OK, Merida. Just be back before night fall! Ya know what ya father's like!" She called back to her beautiful daughter.

Now that Merida is 17 years of age, her natural beauty has blossomed her into the woman her mother always dreamed of and the woman her father always dreaded of.

Her once untameable curls, are now lush red locks that fell to the small of her back, and were usually kept in a plat. Her face now slim, it gives her the completion of a porcelain doll. Her pale blue eyes, now glistening gems and a treasure for all to see. Her body now the shape of a royal woman of her regal background.

Her eyes filled with joy and she ran, quite unlady like, down to the stables where she lept on Angus, with her bow and arrows ready.

Her horse was larger but still as strong and as fast as he was when he was younger.

"Cam on Angus! Ther's an Adventure just waitin' out ther'!" she cried as they ran out of the castle grounds.

They rode on for hours in hope to reach their greatest adventure yet. Once they reached the foot of the valley they stopped to look around, and Merida thought she saw something in the sky far off in the distance.

"Wats that, Angus? Never have aye seen a bird that big before."

POV – Hiccup

"Toothless stop it pal! I'm not in the mood to fly right now!" Hiccup wined to his faithful companion and friend. "I need to run a few errands for the village!"

But Toothless was persistent. For some reason he wanted to fly more than ever today. Although it wasn't surprising, for he had been cooped up in the hut for most of the winter.

"Alright, alright! I get the point pal!"Hiccup gave into the green, puppy eyes his dragon was giving him. "Let me take these fish to Gobber and then we can go."

Hiccup now a young man, had grown to be the tallest out of all his friends. He had a lean frame and possessed muscles that working in the blacksmith's had finally given him. His once tamed brown hair, was now wild, shiny maroon from all the flying him and toothless do. His piercing green eyes, now illuminated like a summer forest and this makes his face, which has lost all its chubbiness from his younger years, look even more masculine. His clothes haven't changed but now he wears his riding gear all the time.

Once the fish were delivered Hiccup mounted Toothless and hooked himself on. Little did he know that the hooking device broke and he was stuck. But unaware of this, they flew in to the horizon.

They flew for hours awe-struck by the beauty of the ocean. But neither of them knew how far they actually were from Berk. By the time that they noticed where they were, they were entering the highlands of Scotland.

"Er, Pal, do you know where we are by any chance?" Hiccup asked in his uneven voice. Toothless look up at his rider in concern and shock his dragon head. "Oh dear…Dad is going to kill me… I'm dead…" As he said this, an arrow shot up from below them and pierced Toothless' front left wing. The dragon roared in pain, and started to spiral downward to the Scottish landscape below them.

Hiccup trying to prevent his dragon from falling saw that his wing was torn from the bone downwards. 'What in the name of Odin was that?!' Hiccup thought to himself in panic. He saw the ground pulling them closer to its rocky surface, and knew if he didn't move he would get hurt himself. 'Thor, I can't afford to lose an arm as well! I need to unhook myself. NOW!' He unhooked his legs but the strap that held him close to Toothless was stuck and had tightened its grip as he struggled to free himself. But it was for nothing for he saw that his 'fate' with ground was setting in.

All he remembers is the 'thud' of the harsh landing and then complete darkness that overcame him, with the blood curdling roar of pain from toothless still ringing in his ears.

POV- Merida

Merida looked in horror as she saw the creature she had pierced in the wing was not an eagle like she had pictured. It was a DRAGON! And it seemed to have a rider. She knew then that she needed to get to where it had fallen. 'Good Lord, what has happened? What have I done?'

She rode as fast as Angus could carry her and found the fallen beast. She slid from Angus' side along with her sword. She cautiously stepped towards the scaly beast before her and stopped in shock of what she saw.

Her sword plummeted to the ground and her lips fashioned the same action. She saw from under the dragon, was a young boy. A Viking Boy. Of which her clan were forbidden to mix with. But she forgot all this as she saw he was injured by her hand. "Angus! Ride on an' get help! Be sure ta get ma father!" The obedient horse followed his commands and rode back in the direction of the castle.

When she turned back around all she saw were the piercing, acid-green eyes of the dragon she had shot down.
