Chapter 1: Leaving

Hiccup's POV

"That's it! We're leaving." I grumble as I tie the last strap to the saddle on Toothless. Anymore of this... this dragon killing, and I might just go crazy.

The sooner we leave, the better.

"Come on, bud," I tug on the saddle, trying to nudge Toothless to take flight. We need to leave before anyone finds out.

Astrid can take care of herself. And if she tells on me to the villagers, Toothless and I should be long gone by then.

I grit my teeth as Toothless take to the sky. It's always so refreshing to be able to feel the cool rush of the wind against my body with the infamous speed of a Night Fury, but today, there's no more test flights.

Today, we're running away.

Away from all these fighting.

Away from all these killing we subject ourselves to.

Away... to freedom.

Yeah. Freedom.

Maybe, we can find some place we can start anew.

Some place where I can learn more of their kind.

Somewhere dragons and humans can live in peace.

That sounds about good.

For now, Toothless and I will leave Berk; the place I once called "home".
