This is something I'm trying out…based on something I read before.

Astrid Hofferson

It was one day that suddenly, out of the blue, Athena decided to visit the Viking Territories. Specifically, the little island of Berk. She was careful, of course. All of the Olympians, Greek or Roman, were always careful unless they wanted some Norse God at their tail trying to catch them and send them back with a reason to start a war. (okay, so maybe it wouldn't escalate to that, not really. But still.)

And it was there that she met Hackadee Hofferson. He was charming, yes, but he and his wife were barren. Of course, Athena found Hackadee extremely endearing. He was sharp and smart, all of which allowed him to become the chief's main strategist.

Of course, there was more to this that had attracted Athena to the Viking, but it was hard to say exactly what.

And when he met her in the woods, it was nearly love at first sight.

Hackadee, despite clearly returning Athena's affections, refused to betray his wife's trust, something which Athena found oddly refreshing. With this, she promised him a baby within the next year. Of course, Hackadee had been cautious, but had been kind enough to offer her some fish as she looked hungry.

Athena accepted it gratefully.

She nearly choked when Hackadee asked her if she was a Norse God…maybe Freya? Athena was flattered that he thought so highly of her, since the Norse Gods were known to be more noble than the Greek/Roman Gods.

However, she politely shook her head, finished the fish and wished him luck. She turned and got ready to leave, before she asked Hackadee what gender he wanted the child to be.

Hackadee had bashfully answered that he would like a girl, and so did his wife, but if she could give him any child he could be proud of, he would be eternally grateful to her.

Athena kept her promise.

9 months later, a beautiful girl named Astrid was born.

That day, Hackadee burnt his finest axe as sacrifice, praying to the goddess who gave him Astrid.

And that night, because of the axe, Athena promised the child the ability not only to have the sharpest mind, but to also use any axe.

Astrid flung her axe forward, hitting the target. She grinned at this, before she heard a voice from beside her and turned. "Nice shot."

She smirked at Hiccup. "Jealous?"

Hiccup frowned, folding his arms across his chest. "In your dreams."

Astrid smirked once more, before turning to tug her axe out of the target. "So, what's up?"

"I need to scout out some islands further away. I might be gone for a few days, and I don't necessarily want to bring everyone…"

Astrid raised an eyebrow. "You want me to take over the Academy while you're gone."

Hiccup smiled nervously. "Technically, that was the original plan, but my dad said that your dad can take care of the Academy. So…do you want to come with me? I need a strategist anyway, and you seem like the best choice."

The demigoddess didn't take long to answer. With a quick yes, she turned and approached Stormfly. "When do we go?"
