Well here is the second chapter hope you like it. Thank you for all the reviews they were all really encouraging and the reason I found the motivation to write this chapter.

I will do my best to post a chapter every week maybe more. Anyway hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think :)

Hiccup's eyes flew open. It took him a moment to gather his thoughts and it didn't take him long to remember the events of the previous night and to realize he had no idea where he was. For starters he was lying on a bed. It was quite different from what he was used to. It was extremely soft; a little too soft for his liking.

Sitting up he noticed he was in what appeared to be a well-furnished room.

The young chief stumbled out of the bed. Looking down Hiccup saw he was only wearing a t-shirt and pants neither of which was his own. Glancing around him couldn't see his own belongings anywhere.

Making his way to the door Hiccup was just about to attempt to open it when the handle for the door turned all on its own.

The door opened and in stepped a tall beautiful woman. She wore and expensive green garment and a crown atop beautiful long brown hair. She appeared to be around the same age as Hiccup's own mother. Looking at her it didn't take a genius to conclude that she was royalty. Not only by appearance but by the way she carried herself.

"Ah, so you're awake," the woman said smiling kindly.

"It appears that way," the Viking replied subconsciously running his hand through his brown hair. "If you don't mind me asking who are you? And where am I?"

"Well I am Queen Elinor and you are in my husband King Fergus' castle, in the kingdom of DunBroch (DunBroch Hiccup was sure he had heard that name somewhere before). However; I am more interested in you. My daughter and I found you unconscious on the side of the road not 5 miles from here. How did you come to be there? You are obviously not from this land; I am more interested in knowing who you are?"

Hiccup gave an inward sigh of relief. If this queen was telling the truth at least he hadn't been recaptured by the men who had taken him in the first place. He still didn't know how far he should trust this woman yet though. "I ah got lost." Hiccup replied lamely, he never was very good at lying.

"Lost? So I will assume that will account for the rope burns around your wrists."

Hiccup shifted uncomfortably as he subconsciously began to rub his wrists.

"Never matter, I will not ask about them for now, nor will I ask about the leg," she said as she glanced down at the boy's prosthetic. "However I would like to know your name?"

Hiccup smiled "my name is Hiccup,"

"Hiccup?" replied Elinor with an amused look in her eye.

"Trust me there are a lot worse names where I come from. O and by the way where are my things?"

"Well for your cloths and armour they were soaked through and had to be cleaned and dried, and as for your weapons, we do not know who you are or where you have come from and cannot trust you yet."

Hiccup nodded in understanding.

"That aside are you hungry?" asked the queen.

"I could go for some food," replied Hiccup suddenly feeling ravished.

"Follow me," she replied kindly as she turned to lead the way.

…..

Elinor knew there was something really interesting about this boy. She had seen his prosthetic which was quite unusual but also the other items he had carried with him. Had he made them himself? Or were they just part of his culture back home?

Not only were the things he carried interesting but also the way he carried himself. Sure he was a little uncomfortable when she was speaking to him just now but who wouldn't be in his position. Despite that he seemed to hold himself with a fair degree of confidence. She would be interested to see more of this boy.

….

Elinor led the young Viking into a large dining hall. There was a large man that reminded him of his father, though the beard was quite a bit shorter. The large man had a merry look about him despite missing his left leg.

The man looked up at the Viking, "and who have we got here?" the man asked looking at his wife for the answer.

"This Fergus is Hiccup," replied the queen.

"Hey."

Hiccup jumped as a small red haired child appeared on his right shoulder.

"What's this?"

Hiccup looked down to see an identical child touching his prosthetic leg.

"Boys leave Hiccup alone and sit at the table for dinner," snapped their mother.

Hiccup saw not two but three identically looking boys run over to find their places at the table.

"Sit wherever you like, Hiccup" said Elinor kindly as she took her place next to her husband. "Where is Merida?"

The king laughed, "Probably riding somewhere where she feels free."

The queen sighed as she began to eat, for though she and her daughter had come to an agreement she still didn't approve of her un-lady like habits.

"So Hiccup?" asked Fergus as he was shoving a large chunk of food in his mouth. How'd you lose your leg? Was it doing some great deed? Have you noticed I am missing a leg too? That was an incredible fight."

The king then proceeded to tell the great tale of how he lost his leg to the great bear. Hiccup smiled and listened with interest, this bear must have been as fierce as a dragon for Hiccup figured that no less would be a challenge for this man.

….

Merida sighed contentedly as she dismounted her horse, it was a good ride. Handing the reins over to a servant she headed towards the hall to grab some dinner. Gosh she was starving. On her way there she found herself absently wondering if that boy had woken up yet.

Sorry about leaving it there couldn't help myself. Don't worry though the next chapter will be worth it.
