Hello everyone. Here is chapter 2. I hope that you will enjoy it. :)
(Thirty years prior)
(Hiccup, voice-over) "This is Berk, it's twelve days north of hopeless and a few degrees south of freezing to death. It's located solidly on the Meridian of misery".
It is night and an Island, filled with forests and a Viking village is shown, the lights coming from nearby torches that had been lit. Despite these torches, it is still very dark and everything looked peaceful as if wars have never happened and fighting has never commenced at all. But, that was the entire illusion of this apparent peaceful landscape.
"My village. In a word, sturdy. It's been here for seven generations. But every single building is new. We have fishing, hunting and a charming view of the sunset".
Meanwhile, a young male Viking with auburn hair, blue eyes and wearing a brown leather tunic, is seen looking out into the night sky. He is clearly waiting for something, but, he knows that it is coming as he has been on this island, long enough to know this. Though, this didn't stop him from taking peek out in order to see "them" come as usual.
(Arkin, voice-over) "The only problems are the pest. You see, most places have mice or Mosquitoes, we have...".
Luckily for him, "they" did arrive and he quickly ran over to another auburn haired boy. This boy is older by a year, he has green eyes and wears a long-sleeved green tunic. He had just opened the front door to see what all the commotion was about, only to quickly shut it in time to avoid being burned to death by a nearby dragon, who'd fired at him.
"Dragons" said the older auburn haired boy, in an surprised tone.
(Hiccup, voice-over) "Most people would leave. But not us, we're Vikings. We have stubbornness issues. My name's Hiccup".
(Arkin, voice-over) "And my name is Arkin".
(Hiccup, voice-over) "Great names, I know, but, it's not the worst. Parents believe a hideous name will frighten off gnomes and trolls".
(Arkin, voice-over) "Like our charming Viking demeanours wouldn't do that".
After witnessing the dragons return, Hiccup and Arkin quickly run out of the burning house as they looked around them. They managed to avoid unintentionally getting hit by a nearby Viking, although it didn't stop them from falling to the ground from the shock of a dragon's attack. Which led to the two meeting a very cheery Viking.
"Morning" said the Viking, after he had given a battle-cry before running off.
When the cheery Viking had ran off, Hiccup and Arkin got to their feet as they began running again. They began to run past other Vikings, who told the two boys to get back inside for their own safety. An advice that they completely ignored, which led to them almost getting themselves killed as two huge hands managed to save them.
"Hiccup!, Arkin!, what are they doing out?!, what are you two doing out!?" shouted a tall Viking man with a red beard. "Get inside!".
(Hiccup, voice-over) "That is Stoick the Vast, chief of the tribe. They say that when he was a baby. He popped a dragons head clean off it's shoulders".
(Arkin, voice-over): Do we believe it?, yes we do".
"What have we got?" asked Stoick as he talked to another male Viking.
"Gronckles, Nadders, Zipplebacks" said the male Viking as he gave his report. "Oh and Hoark saw a Monstrous Nightmare".
"Any Night furies?" asked Stoick as an explosion happened nearby them.
"None so far" reported the male Viking as he ducked for cover.
"Good" said Stoick as he calmly shrugged off a piece of burning debris that had landed on his shoulder.
While Hiccup and Arkin kept on running, nearby Vikings began to lit huge torches that kept air-born dragons at bay. Arkin, himself, wasn't so sure if those huge torches will do what they were build to do, but, he wasn't focusing those torches right now as he had somewhere else to go to. Knowing that he would be in trouble for being late.
