Chapter 1: A Surprise Land
Hiccup's POV
"See anything yet?" Merida shouted up to me.
"Nope, nothing." I said as I looked around with my spyglass.
This has been the norm for a year now. Every now and then, Tangeroa would steer us to an island for supplies, but no Kingdoms yet. Day in and day out we sail the sea, waiting for something. Anything.
Everyone had a new appearance in some way. Jack and I have grown beards. It was hard to look at Jack and not see an old man. Rapunzel's brown hair was down to her waist now. The other three had tried to keep their hair in check. Since Elsa used her magic to cut her hair, she still had her same hairstyle, but the sun kept beating on her, so she was always a painful shade of red. Anna hadn't seen a comb in a year so her bed head had become the norm. Merida's hair was wilder then ever before.
I slid down the pole of the ship and sat down next to Toothless. He was basically the only one who stayed basically the same for this entire year. He yawned and looked at me with his wide eyes.
"I know, bud. I want to get home too." I said as I scratched his head. I leaned against him and closed my ears.
"Well, that's it. I quit. We're never getting back." Merida said as she threw a coconut into the ocean.
"Hey now. Let's not panic." Anna said. "We'll get home eventually."
"Oh, quiet you. I don't see you using your visions to get us home."
Anna then looked at Merida with disbelief. "How dare you. You think I wanted this gift? I hate it, but it's my burden to bare."
"Oh boo hoo." Merida said. "Bad things happen to people all the time. You think I wanted my mother to turn into a bear. No. But it happened anyway. So get over it, and use your powers to get us out of here."
Anna growled. "That's not how they work, you air headed redhead!"
"We both have red hair you dimwit!"
"You wouldn't know anything if it didn't hit you in the face!"
"At least I know what love is! I didn't try to marry the first man I met!"
"RRRRRAAAAAAAAHHHHHH" I opened my eyes to see Anna lunged at Merida. She tackled her and started punching her. Merida threw her off and threw a punch at her. Anna ducked and hit Merida in the stomach. When Merida bent over, Anna jumped on top of her and pinned her to the floor. Anna then grabbed Merida's arms and pulled them back.
"TAKE IT BACK! TAKE IT BACK!" Anna shouted.
"NEVER! NEVER!" Merida yelled as she groaned in pain.
Merida rolled over and Anna flew off. She then grabbed Anna and put her in a headlock. Anna was kicking furiously.
"STOP IT!" Merida said.
"Take it BACK!" Anna said as elbowed Merida in the ribs.
Merida let go and hobbled over to the other side of the boat. Then the two ran at each other.
"Toothless, little help?" I said.
Toothless jumped over and smacked the two of them with his tail.
"Whoa, Toothless!" Merida said.
"What the hell was that for?" Anna snapped at me.
"What happened?" I asked.
Merida and Anna glared at each other and said. "She started it!"
"Ladies?!"
"Anna called me an air headed redhead!"
"I told her using my powers to get us out of here's not how they work."
"But I reminded her that we both have red hair."
"Merida called me a dimwit!"
"Anna said I wouldn't know anything if it didn't hit me in the face but at least I know what love is. I didn't try to marry the first man I met like she did!"
"Calling each other names and insulting each other is bad manners. This is ridiculous! This behavior's unacceptable. I don't care who started it. You two will be in separate rooms."
"What?!" Anna and Merida exclaimed in shock.
"You heard me! Go on! And not another word to each other."
After two exchanged angry glares, Anna and Merida have done as they were told and went separate ways, grumbling, mumbling and muttering under their breaths in disgust about each other.
"That dimwit tried to marry the first guy she met because she had no patience to get to know him better." I heard Merida whisper.
"How dare Merida tell me to be quiet, say she doesn't see me using my visions to get us home when I hate this gift, but it's my burden to bare. How dare she tell me to get over it, and use my powers to get us out of here if that's not how they work. She wouldn't know anything if it didn't hit her in the face!" Anna whispered.
"Man, that was wild." I said.
"This was the best show I've seen." Jack smiled.
"You really mean it, Jack?! Aren't you affected by the drama between Anna and Merida?" I asked him.
"No!"
"Sorry about that, I don't know what has gotten into Merida."
"Or Anna." Elsa said.
"I'm sorry for all the chaos. It's been a long day for everyone."
"Don't worry about it." Jack said. "Everyone is a little crazy since we've been sailing for a year now."
"Yeah. I guess so, Is everyone still affected by the drama between two unladylike royal crown princesses?" I asked.
"It's impossible to deal with Merida when's she's like this." Rapunzel said.
"Merida should've known not to say that. Anna's very touchy about that subject." Elsa said.
"Yeah. I could tell." I said.
"Just give them a chance to clear their heads." Rapunzel said.
...
General POV
Down in Anna's room, Anna never felt so angry except of course she took her former fairytale wish to marry Hans from the Southern Isles not coming true very badly during the coronation party so she mentally complained in her mind. "I don't deserve to be punished because of Merida! If she hadn't insulted me...then we wouldn't have to bicker with each other like this if she hadn't called me a dimwit! But she thinks she knows so much! Ooh, I can't stand her!"
In the other room... Merida was having similar thoughts so she thought. "I don't care if it's her burden to bare. Just because she met that first man doesn't mean she can try to marry him already! She's such a brat! She thinks she knows everything! I can't stand her!"
10 minutes later...
The four others watched as Merida and Anna walked up the stairs onto the deck.
"So, are you two done bickering?" Hiccup asked.
They both silently nodded.
"Alright. Now hug and make up."
Merida and Anna turned towards each other.
"I'm sorry." Merida said.
"I'm sorry too."
Then the two girls hugged.
"You see, that wasn't too hard now was it?" Hiccup said as he turned towards the front of the ship.
Right as he did, a scauldron peeked it head up from the water. Its water pouch full.
"Hiccup, look out!" Jack shouted.
The scauldron sprayed at Hiccup. He ducked, but Jack shot his powers at the water attack. It completely frozen. The dragon roared. Toothless shot a blast at it. It growled and dove back under.
"What was that?" Anna asked.
"It's a scauldron. And if it's attacked us here, then that means one thing." Hiccup said.
"What?" Everyone asked.
"Land is nearby."
...
Hiccup's POV
Everyone went nuts when I said that. Elsa started using her powers to clean everyone up. She started taming Merida's hair. Anna was using an ice brush to comb her hair. Jack borrowed a knife from me to shave. Rapunzel was combing her long brown hair. I smiled and kept a lookout.
"Hiccup?"
I turned to see Merida, with her hair finally combed up. A little.
"Why aren't you getting ready?" She asked.
I smiled. "Cause I don't need to. I'm fine the way I am."
She shook her head and laughed.
"Right. Come here." She said as she grabbed a knife, turned me around, and started to cut my hair.
Ever since we've left Motunui, Merida's been distant. She doesn't treat me like her husband. She treats me more of a teammate. If fact, this has been the closest we've been near each other since we left.
She started to shave my beard, but I grabbed her hand. I smiled. Then leaned in and kissed her.
She started to pull away but as I deepened the kiss, she started to lean in more. I started to rub her back as we kissed.
Just then she pulled away from me. She handed me the knife.
"Here, you shave your face." She then walked away.
I shrugged and went over to the bucket of water. Jack, now fully shaved and hair back to the way it was leaned against the bow of the ship.
"So, nothing with Merida yet?" He asked as I started shaving.
"Nothing. What just happened was as close as we got to consummating our marriage."
Jack shook his head. "Why is she like that?"
"She's probably scared. I know I was my first time." I said as I finished off the bottom of my face and started on the cheeks.
"But still, you would think that Merida would be all over you. But she's not. You guys sleep in separate bunks."
"I know. I'm just going to give her time."
"Hiccup, you've given her a full year. Its now or never."
I finished shaving, grabbed a towel and wiped my face off. Then I turned to him.
"Don't worry. I've got it under control."
"Alright. You figure it out." Jack said as he shrugged and walked away.
I climbed up the mast to check if we were closer to home yet. I grabbed my spyglass and looked all around. Just then I saw it. Land.
"Guys! There it is!"
The others cheered. Merida looked up and smiled at me.
...
Jack's POV
The boat came into the beach. We all jumped out and kissed the ground. I kissed the ground too much cause i started spitting sand out of my mouth..
Rapunzel grabbed me and spun me around.
"We made it, Jack! We made it!"
Just then, I noticed something. This land looked different from anywhere we've been. The trees were like the ones from Motunui. It looked nothing like the Kingdoms.
"Where exactly is here?" I said.
Just then the realization came to everyone. We haven't been here before.
"Jack, fly up as high as you can and see what going on."
I nodded and flew up and high as the wind would carry me. What I saw was both breathtaking and unease.
Land as far as I could see. There were mountains in the distance. Forests going on for miles and miles. No sign of civilization anywhere.
Do you see anything, Jack? I heard Anna's voice in my head.
"You might want to send Hiccup up here." I said.
Couple minutes later, Hiccup and toothless come up to me.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Look." I said as I pointed out.
He looked and gasped.
"It's a whole new world."

General POV
Back across the continent, Alvin stood by a pile of crates, looking at a map Dagur and Mala had drawn up. There was a village of locals nearby. But other then that, this world was free for the expansion.
Dagur and Mala flew over on the triple strike dragon, Sleuther. Dagur hopped off and helped Mala off.
"How does it look?" Alvin asked.
"Plenty of land, so now are making sure we scout from the ground." Mala said.
The body of people came over. The looked curious on what to do next.
Alvin decided to take charge.
"You, get camp set up." He said as he pointed at a group of men.
"You, get some defenses up. We don't know what those savages will do." Alvin pointed at another group.
"The rest of you, it's time to start digging!"
"Digging?" Dagur asked.
"Of course. Just think, if we collect enough treasure, we could go back to our homeland and live like kings. No Kingdoms can change that."
The gold of Arendelle
The jewels of Corona
Will seem like mere trinkets
By this time tomorrow
The gold we find here
Will dwarf them by far
Oh, with all ya got in ya, boys
Dig up this land, boys
Mine, boys, mine ev'ry mountain
And dig, boys, dig 'til ya drop
Grab a pick, boys
Quick, boys
Shove in a shovel
Uncover those lovely
Pebbles that sparkle and shine
It's gold and it's mine, mine, mine
The Vikings then grabbed what they could and started digging, excited for the chance to strike it big.
Dig and dig and dig and diggety
Dig and dig and dig and diggety
Hey nonny nonny
Oh, how I love it!
Hey nonny nonny
Riches for Cheap!
Hey nonny nonny
There'll be heaps of it
And I'll be on top of the heap!
My rivals back home
It's not that I'm bitter
But think how they'll squirm
When they see how I glitter!
The ladies at court
Will be all a-twitter
The Queen will reward me
She'll knight me, no, lord me!
It's mine, mine, mind
For the taking
It's mine, boys
Mine me that gold!
With those nuggets dug it
It's glory they'll gimme
My dear friends, The Big Four
Will probably build me a shrine
When all of the gold is mine
Dig and dig and dig and diggety
Dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig!
Back across the continent, Hiccup and Jack looked out at the land before them, admiring the beauty.
Hiccup then looked out at it, excited to go discover it.
All of my life, I have searched for a land
Like this one
A wilder, more challenging country
I couldn't design
Hundreds of dangers await
And I don't plan to miss one
In a land I can claim
A land I can tame
The greatest adventure is ours!
Back on the other side, Alvin was working the men, trying to become rich.
Keep on working, lads
Don't be shirking, lads
Mine, boys, mine
Mine me that gold
Beautiful gold
Make this island
My land!
Make the mounds big, boys
I'd help you to dig, boys
But I've got this crick in me spine
This land we behold
This beauty untold
A man can be bold!
It all can be sold!
And the gold
Is
Mine!
Mine!
Mine!
Dig and dig and diggety-dig!
Hey nonny nonny nonny it's mine
