Second chapter of the prologue. It shows how much Hiccup and Astrid cared for each other before Hiccup started to be classified as a weapon to be used against Toothless and the others dragons.

Before you ask, Berk's people know about what Hiccup is, but I will explain more about it. All that I can say for now is that Hiccup is still trying to live as a normal viking.

I will use this font everytime the story shows a flashback, or when Toothless tries to say something that isn't in the dragon language.

Nine years ago.

Berk, a cold place where most of the year is a freezing winter and during the rest of the year is nothing more than a cold summer. Some ask why live in a place like that, the reason is that those who lives there are vikings, people that are so stubborn, or maybe idiot, that decided to live there. Using some fishing and building technics they created a village on that little island. If you have a good eye, you can see some beauty there. A forest divided in two parts, a sorrow place full of dead trees and a zone with trees full of life. The village itself is very well build, its houses are well made and new, they learned how to build good structures because of their two problems, dragons and Astrid.

"Where did she go?" A angry viking asked to another. This viking almost got his arm broken because of a poorly made bola launcher.

"She isn't fast so she can't be that far." Another viking said. This viking, unlike the other, did broke his leg because of the wall that the bola launcher destroyed, he keeped looking for because he is a viking and they wouldn't give up only because of that.

Astrid was hidden inside a fish barrel, it wasn't the perfect hiding place, but it was the best she could find. The things that turn the barrel into a good hiding spot are that it was near, few would look for her there and it wasn't at somewhere bright. The downsides are that it didn't have too much space, she would stink for three days and she wouldn't be able to run if they decide to look there. "She might be hidden." The first viking said making Astrid start to panic inside the barrel.

They started to look everywhere, each second seemed to last much longer to her. Everytime they don't find her only made her even more scared, it was one place less for them to look.

It didn't help when she heard a pair of hands touching the barrel. "This is the last place we didn't look, she must be here." She heard one of them saying. She closed her eyes, doesn't wanting to see them when they find her.

"My fish barrel arrived." She listened a boy saying it to the men. "Were you here to deliver it to me? If it was, you don't need to worry about it. I will carry it to my house." The boy lifted the barrel. "You're welcome, anyway." He said before walk, probably to his home.

She couldn't be more grateful. She knows is the voice's owner and, knowing him, he won't be angry with her. This grateful thought made the little travel inside a barrel don't be as bad as it seems.

Few minutes later, the boy leaved the barrel inside his house. "You can leave now." He said in a calm tone before Astrid emerge from the barrel, gasping for fresh air. The first thing that she saw after recover her breath was Hiccup, her best friend. "It still isn't your worse hiding place."

"Try hide when you are fast and doesn't have many hiding places."

"I did and trust me..." He points to his wings and tail. "... these things only makes everything harder." They laughed a little, but Hiccup sundelly stopped.

"Something wrong?"

"They are coming again. Let's tell everyone to get ready before they come." Astrid nodded and got out of the house to look for Valka. Hiccup only followed until he got pass the door, he started to feel something strange in his chest, the feeling didn't last long, but it make him think about what it was for a while. "It must be nothing." Hiccup told to himself and started to warn everyone.

No one in Berk knew about the dragon that would come on that raid. No one knew, that the second half was coming.

One guy tried to send a OC to me, but it wasn't the type of character that would fit here, but if nobody give me a new viking OC before I finish the prologue, I will use it.
