Island of Berk...Morning after Hiccup meets Toothless (That is still the same BTW)
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III sighed as he peered through the tree tops. It was before dawn and the young teen was sitting in the tallest tree he could find that was near the village. He looked out through the branches to watch the sun rise, and to think. It had been four years since his Master Ezio had passed from this world and into the next. Still, Hiccup had not lacked in his Assassin Training. He read all the scrolls and books Ezio left behind for him. It was Hiccup's saving grace almost every day.
Why? Well, the Elder Council kept telling Stoic to find a new heir. At least in the physical department. In the political department, Hiccup was reigning supreme. The Council wanted Snotlout to be the heir for he looked like a Viking. But what Snotlout made up in brawn, he lacked in brains. The few times visitors came to Berk over the years, it was Hiccup's quick thinking and words that saved them from Snotlout's stupidity.
Hiccup was ever so thankful that Ezio taught him in languages. His favorite time when this came in handy was when a family from France showed up, wanting to explore the "Savage Lands." And Stoic was beyond thankful that Hiccup could speak French. Otherwise, war would have broken out because the family that visited was a high ranking family. Like, they knew the King and Queen high. The red head snickered as he remembered that Snotlout tried to hit on the daughter of the family. But she either ignored him or called him names in French.
But she LOVED Hiccup and his quick wit. They still send letters to each other. Hiccup sighed as he felt the sun hit him. 'Wait, sun?' He turned to see that the sun was up. "SHIT! I'm going to be late!"
And with that, he took off running to the Kill Ring...
~~~Remember the Name~~~
Hiccup gritted his teeth as he grabbed a shield. It was the first day of Dragon Training. And Gobber being Gobber decided to give them first hand experience. Which meant running from a Gronkle without being toasted. The Assassin moved as he heard a noise behind him. He rolled under the dragon as it flew over head. Once he was in the clear, Hiccup began running again. As he was running, the red head noticed that the shield he was carrying was slowing him down.
Growling under his breath, he went to drop it when he heard his name. In a typical newb move, Hiccup looked up to see a fireball coming directly at him. Eyes widening, he stopped and quickly removed the shield from his arm. His eyes narrowed as time seemed to slow down. Raising up the shield, the Assassin waited. 'NOW!' he screamed in his head. Swinging the shield, Hiccup managed to hit the fireball. It flew back at the Gronkle. It's yellow eyes widened in shock and it tried to dodge the on coming ball of flame.
It shrieked as the fire hit it's hide. Gobber quickly moved in and threw the over grown lizard back into it's cage. Everyone was staring at Hiccup, who was panting.
Ruffnut asked, "W-What in the name of Thor was that?!"
Hiccup looked at the others before standing tall, "J-Just an idea. Oh! Look at the time. I've got to go. Got some, things to do. So, uh, see you tomorrow!"
Moving faster than anyone expected, the red head fled the arena...
~~~Remember the Name~~~
Hiccup sat down on his haunches, watching the Night Fury. He had begun watching the scaled beast for the past hour. In all honesty, it reminded him of when he tried to kill the black dragon. The red head looked down at his hand, the one that was missing a finger. He gritted his teeth as he remembered what he had said to the Night Fury.
~~~Flashback~~~
Hiccup slowly approached the beast. It was all tangled up in the net he had thrown last night with his latest invention. It's wings were folded in an uncomfortable position and its legs were pressed against the aerodynamic body. Thankfully, it's eyes were closed. The assassin couldn't help but grin at the mighty beast. He grabbed the knife that was on his hip, raising it above his head.
"Okay dragon. I'm going to cut out your heart and take it to my father. He will then recognize me!"
He heard it move and glanced down at it's face. Cat-like eyes were staring out at him. They seemed to recognize that Hiccup was to be it's executioner that day. The boy gritted his teeth and spoke.
"I'm a Viking. I am a VIKING!" He grasped the knife and held it higher over his head. But he looked back at the dragon and saw that it was scared...Just as scared as he was. Turning the knife flat, he placed his hands on his head.
He looked back at the dragon and said, "I did this." Falling to the ground, Hiccup rested his hands on his knees. Green eyes glanced to his hands and saw the missing finger. "No...I am not a Viking." Standing tall, the red haired teen screamed out at the top of his lungs. "I am HICCUP HADDOCK HORRENDOUS III AND I AM NOT A VIKING!"
Panting, he released his hidden blade and cut the Night Fury free. The second the dragon could move, it turned and pounced on the assassin. Hiccup was now stuck between a rock and a very pissed off/scared dragon. All 200-something-odd-pounds of it. But that truly did not scare him. He stared into the cat-like eyes of it. Intelligence and something else came pouring out of the Night Fury's eyes. When it reared back to shoot flame at the human, he closed his eyes and accepted his fate.
What the dragon did next was the last thing Hiccup expected. It roared at him before turning away and fled. The green-eyed boy just sat there before laughing as hard as he could...
~~~End Flashback~~~
Hiccup pulled out his notebook and charcoal pencil, beginning to sketch the black beast. Continuing to watch it, he couldn't help but feel awe for the amount of power the Night Fury held. But there was something Hiccup couldn't help but notice. The Night Fury wouldn't fly away. Frowning slightly, the human continued to sketch the reptile and noticed one of it's tail fins was missing. After watching it for some time, he couldn't help but feel kindred to the beast in a way. What way, Hiccup did not know...
~~~Remember the Name~~~
And end chapter! I know, a bit short but hey, at least it is the second chapter right?! Review please!
