Drago smirked as he watched as this village was engulfed by flames. He saw how some chiefs made it through the wall, out of the hall. He smirked, even more, when he saw a young Stoick the Vast between them. And then one of his dragons brought Stoick to the ground. He chuckled to himself and began walking towards docks. He then heard a child crying and he was looking for the source. It leads him into one house where two of his dragons were looking into a cradle where was lying a wee boy. Drago smirked to himself as he brought his hand to broke that small neck, but before he could touch him his memories stopped him. He could be that wee boy in a cradle. His village was burned down when he was a little. He could not force himself to kill him. Drago groaned to himself as he tried to decide whatever leave this boy here or take him. After a few moments, Drago picked up that boy and walked out from the house and ordered to his dragons to burn that house to ashes. He went with crying boy towards his ship and when he was at the ship he left that Island. He can't keep this baby even when he would need an heir sometimes. No, he doesn't have time to look after a child. He has lands to burn and people to dominate. So he sat sail towards one small Island where he knew that current chief's wife doesn't have the luck to conceive an offspring. His journey took one day and when he arrived at the port of small Island he masked himself even more then he was in that meeting Island. He walked through the village, and people gave him strange glances. He stopped in front of the chief house and he placed a sleeping boy there. With that, he went back and when someone tried to block his way he only glared at him and they immediately took a sidestep. When he was at the dock he set sail and he never looked back.


Chief Langley was sitting in his chair in his house on the Island of Hysteria. He had brown hair long to his shoulders braided into one braid with dark blue eyes. He was tall and slim. Name of their Island, however, had no connection to the Vikings living there. Once it was a place where other tribes sent mad Vikings but not for last five hundred years. The name for Island however stayed. He was interrupted from his thoughts by the commotion in front of his house. He stood up and walked to the door. He was greeted by a view of the small boy who was trying to get away from the mass of people before his house.

He immediately bends down a picked up scared boy and shouted. "What's going on here?"

All villagers began to talk at the same time and he must silence them again.

"Quite! One at the time!" he shouted again as he tried to shush small boy who started to whimper.

The villagers said to him what they saw. How a stranger cloaked in dragon skin made his way to his house and placed that boy there and left. Chief dumb watched his villagers as they end up their story. He sent them home and he brought that boy into his house. As he carried him he found out that the boy had a wooden necklace with the two crossed axes engraved in it and under them was a name which said ‚Hiccup'. He didn't recognize that sign.

He called his wife who was in their bedroom. "Ylva!"

With that, his wife came out of the bedroom. Ylva had long red hair to her waist and she kept her hair in one braid. She was tall and slim like her husband and she had green eyes. When she saw her husband with a year old boy in his arms she froze.

"Someone brought him here." He said when he saw her reaction and he retells her what villagers told him. When he stop talking Ylva came to him and brushed boy bangs from his forehead.

"What will we do with him?" She asked.

"Well, I was thinking when we don't have luck with our own, that we take care of him until we found his true family. What do you say?" He asked her with a smile as the boy began to giggle.

His wife was shocked at first but then she jumped from pure happiness and hugged her husband with their new ‚son' in his arms. Langley smiled and with one hand hugged her while with other he held the boy.


As the years passed a boy started to grow. Langley has named him as was engraved in his necklace. When Hiccup reaches eight years he had the attention of the whole village. Everyone was quite fond of that boy. He impressed his fellow villagers by his blacksmithing skills at age of six and at age of eight he even surpassed his teacher. Village blacksmith was very proud of the boy and every time he made something new he said to him that he is natural and all his creations are unique. His humor could make laugh whole village and later he started to inventing things which helped the whole village after some unsuccessful tries. Langley especially liked Hiccup's sarcasm. While others people hated it he loved it. Hiccup was also a very clever boy and in his nine years, he understood more than most adults. Langley and Ylva told him the truth in his nine years and he took it quite well. Maybe too much excitedly as he swore that he will find his true origin. At age of ten Hiccup started exploring the whole Island. On one of his journeys, he found a big dark blue rock which looked like some kind of polished gemstone. He brought it to the village forge where he asked what it is. The blacksmith was surprised by this stone.

"Maybe it's some kind of new gemstone. But if you look at this" he gestured to the veins in the stone. "they are too much accurate. I never saw this kind of rock."

"Do you think it is some kind of dragon egg?" Hiccup asked and blacksmith chuckled at that.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Don't you think boy?" Blacksmith said with a smile.

"Hiccup!" a girl's voice sounded through the forge.

"Cami!" He said as he raced out from the forge and there he slammed against blond girl by his age. She was slim and tall like Hiccup. She had light green eyes and long hairs braided in two braids.

"Hiccup, now you will pay for this!" She shouted as she raced behind him while he tried to get from girl's rage for slamming into her.

But after a few minutes, they began laughing and they changed it into a game. Big-Boobied Bertha with Langley laughed at children before they went to make some deals. Bertha knew only that Langley is taking care of the boy and when she asked no one knew where from that boy is. She shrugged it off because everyone has their secrets.

After their chase, Cami and Hiccup went sword practicing. Cami taught Hiccup how to fight with sword and how to use his size and speed against any attacker. She began to train him two years ago and of course, Hiccup was a fast learner and he overcome her by this time. So when he disarm her for the fifth time today she groaned and left the training. Hiccup laughed at her temper tantrum so he darted behind her.

"So if I make you that sword what you keep asking me for a year already, will you stop that tantrum?" He asked with a smile. Cami smirked and said "Maybe..."

"Fine, so meet me at sunset in a forge before you leave with your mother, ok?" And with that, he darted towards the forge and shouted. "See you later!" Cami shooked her head with a smile while she walked through the village.

Hiccup darted to the forge and briefly greeted the blacksmith before he began to work on Cami's sword. He glanced at the strange stone he finds earlier and continued in his work. If he would look closely he could find small cracks on its surface.

Hours passed and he finished sword for Cami. Sun start to set when he finished last details. It was a one-handed sword with an end a bit curved. Unlike common Vikings swords, it had red spiral-grooved grip and a matched pommel. Hiccup inspected his work before tossing it to his master. Blacksmith grabbed it in the air and tried to swing with him. He then nodded and tossed it back to his apprentice.

"Still great as ever." Blacksmith said with a smile. Hiccup returned smile as he placed it into the sheath. He then darted off from the forge, not noticing cracks on that strange stone.

He found Cami in docks with her mother while other members of expedition loaded their ship. "Cami!" he shouted as he ran to her. When he came close and stop before them they smiled at him.

"What did I said to you about coming to the forge?" He said as he managed to catch his breath.

"Well, I was already on the way but you beat me to it." Cami lied and Hiccup knew it. He smiled at her and said, "Anyway, your compensation for today's training." He finished as he handed her sword with a sheath.

Cami was surprised. He made her that sword. But she didn't have anything to pay for this kind of craftsmanship. Hiccup probably knew what she was thinking about and said.

"I'm giving it to you. You mustn't give me anything for it. I will be glad when it keeps you safe." He smiled at her. Langley emerged behind his boy and he put his hand on boy's shoulder. Cami reluctantly took the sword and she examined it. It was the greatest craftsmanship she ever saw. It was well balanced and it was sharp as a dagger. She sheathed that sword and hugged Hiccup tightly and he returned the hug.

"Thank you, brother." She said as she pulled from him.

"You're welcome, sister." He answered her with a smile.

Some could think that something romantic is going on between them but Bertha, Langley and Ylva knew that they relationship is like between brother and sister and their nicknames confirmed it. They bid a farewell to each other and they left towards Bog Burglars Island. Langley pulled Hiccup to their home too.


The next day was really interesting. When Hiccup came in the morning into forge before blacksmith he found it in terrible shape. There were items scattered on the floor and wood around was scourged. He thought that maybe a terrible terror came here and made this mess so he started to clean up. When he was halfway finished, he glanced something under the table. When he looked closer he found out that it was small a bat like pitch black dragon. He was curious about it so he poked with a finger into it. The dragon's eyes shot opened and it yawned. Dragon tilted his head a little at the boy and started to sniffing the air. Both Hiccup and dragon were curious so they made slow moves towards each other. Hiccup outstretched his hand toward small dragon and dragon began sniffing it. After a while dragon put his head to boys palm and began purring. He took him to his arms and began to pet him, to which dragon reacted by louder purring. Hiccup glanced around and found out that the stone he brought was indeed a dragon egg. He jumped and ran towards his house. This village didn't have too many raids so dragons on this Island were a rare thing. He darted through the house and shouted.

"Langley, Ylva looked what I found!" Both adults turn their heads to him and when they saw a dragon they gasped. Hiccup chuckled at them and said. "Don't worry, he is not dangerous." He said as he placed him on the table. "He doesn't even have a teeth." And as to empathize his words the dragon yawned. Ylva despite herself let a quite aww, to escape her mouth.

"Can I keep him, please?." Hiccup began.

"Hiccup..." Langley started but he was interrupted by Hiccup.

"I will train him, he will not be dangerous."

"It's night fury baby, Hiccup. Do you really think that you can train dragon like that? What if I let you train him. What if he cannot be trained? What if he eats you when he grows up?"

"Please, Langley. I will take care of him. I will train him. Maybe he will help me to find my real family. And if he eats me, it will be my mistake."

Langley sighed and turned to look at his wife. His wife shrugged.

"Fine.." He said.

"Yeah!" Hiccup shouted as he throws his hands into the air. And the dragon gave him toothless smile. "Ok, bud I will call you Toothless." He picked him up and run outside

"But there will be rules!" Langley shouted as he darted behind him. Ylva only chuckled at that.


Villagers were skeptical towards that dragon, but Hiccup holds his word. He trained him. Not two years after Toothless was big as adult nadder and he behaved like a puppy. Well mostly. When Hiccup got hurt Toothless could be little overprotective. And then they found out that he has a teeth. A lot of them and sharper than the dagger. Once when he was ill, Toothless hold him in bed until he got better. No matter how much Hiccup protested. Villagers mostly referred to them as brothers. Three years after Toothless birth, the whole village was fond of that dragon. When a dragons came to their rare raid, Toothless and Hiccup drove them away without problems and without hurting either side. Of course, they hide him before visitors because they didn't know how would they react. The only one who knew was Cami. When Hiccup introduces them to each other it was like staring competition. After an hour of staring at each other, and Hiccup pacing between them trying to break an eye contact, they both nodded and came to each other. When Toothless came a close enough, he whacks her with his tail and started running. And as he assumed she darted after him.

He ran before her with ease and when she couldn't continue she said. "Fine, you won." He came to her and smiled at her with his gummy smile. She smiled despite herself and muttered "Stupid reptile." As she breathed heavily.

"A running competition with offspring of lightning and death itself?" Hiccup said as he clicked his tongue several times. "Not a good idea."

"Fuck off." She growled at him and he laughed.


Hiccup and Toothless helped the village in more ways than one and village prospered, until one night. Hiccup was eighteen years old and was drawing Toothless lying in his room. Langley darted to Hiccup's room and with that, he startled both of them.

"Hiccup, pack your things. You and Toothless must leave now."

"What?! Why?!" Hiccup asked as he jumped to his feet.

"Dagur the Deranged had become a new chief of Berserker tribe. He killed his own father to get his position. He said that he will restore a fallen glory of Berserker tribe. And his armada is sailing here. He can't find Toothless here and Toothless will not go anywhere without you. We don't know how long he will be here so take everything with you. You never know."

Hiccup didn't like it but he nodded. He packed his few things as his blanket, some clothes and his sketchbooks where he had his blueprints and drawings. He put on his black leather armor and attached his retractable sword named inferno to his waist.

Ylva came to his room with a sack full of food and give it to him. Hiccup put his things to Toothless saddle bags along with food. Toothless by this time understood that something was wrong.

"So, I guess.." Hiccup scratched back of his neck "see you later?" he said but it was more like a question. Langley and Ylva pulled him into a hug.

"Whatever happens, Hiccup. Find your family." Ylva said as she handed him, his necklace which he wore when he was a little. Hiccup glanced at it and then back on Ylva because he didn't understand.

"This necklace was yours when we found you." Langley explained. "We kept it because we tried to find your family, but now it's your key to finding them."

Hiccup took necklace with shaking hand and he safely placed it into chest pouch.

"Goodbye, our little boy." Langley said and Hiccup could see tears in his eyes.

"Thor's guide you, my little Hiccup." Ylva said and she was crying.

Hiccup now knew that he can't leave, but his step parents thought otherwise.

"Take him Toothless and take care of him." Both of them said and Toothless nodded and grabbed Hiccup by his leather armor and flew through the window.

Hiccup didn't struggle he knew that it was pointless. They landed on another side of an Island for a night. As they landed he immediately went for some wood to keep them warm. As he had enough he placed it the ground and Toothless lit it with his plasma blast. Hiccup then sat in front of Toothless stomach and moments later he leaned into it. He was deep in thought. What if Dagur will do something to his friends and village? What if Dagur stays? He would leave sooner or later. Rather sooner because winter starts in a month and he can't become stranded on some Island. He would not survive that. And as he thought about different things his mind drifted into sleep.

He was lying on the ground and everything hurt. He cracked open his eyes and could saw a golden stream. After some time he could saw that it wasn't streams but hair. Braided blond hair.

"Hiccup, don't leave. You can't leave me. You simply can't!" He heard girl shouts. He opened his eyes a bit more and could saw a girl before him. He didn't recognize her but he knew that he knows her.

"Asta.." He said without his initiative. She smiled at him before huge pain broke through his left leg and he screamed.

He woke up with a scream. I had it again. Same dream. Every time this same dream for eight years. He thought to himself and he heard a soft coo beside him.

"Don't worry, bud." He said as he patted dragon paw. "Just that dream again." He looked to the sky and found out that it is almost dawn.

"Come on bud, we will check the village and we will begin our journey." He said as he stood up and stretched. Toothless made the same thing but he added a big yawn. Hiccup hoped on and they took up flying towards the village. What he saw next made his heart skip a beat. Every house in a village was engulfed in the flames and Berserks armada was marching in the middle of the village. They hide in a forest line and were watching as two soldiers dragged Langley and Ylva towards Dagur. Hiccup hated that man when he was a little but now he hated him even more.

"Where are that boy and his dragon!" He could hear Dagur's shout.

"Even if I know I would not tell you a thing." Langley spat at him.

"Oh, that is a wrong answer." Dagur said as he turned to glare on him. "Now you will die for the wrong answer." And with that, he thrusts his dagger into Langley's heart.

"No!" Hiccup shouted as he darted towards them, but it was a mistake. He was soon surrounded by Berserks.

"Run! Don't look back!" Ylva shouted and Dagur slapped her but she ignored him "Toothless saved him!" She shouted and with that, a roar of night fury could be heard. That startled Berserks and they were killed by the plasma blast. Toothless was by Hiccup side immediately.

"Shoot them!" Dagur shouted and they didn't have another choice than leave. He glanced at the dead body of his stepfather and then on his stepmother. She mounted her mouth in silent GO and she attacked Dagur by her own hands. Hiccup hoped on Toothless and they flew away. As they were up in the air Hiccup felt something sharps thrusts into small of his back. He shouted in pain and glanced down. He saw how arrow went through his leather armor and pierce his stomach. He could not see arrowhead but he knew it went through. Toothless felt that something was not right and when his rider began to lost conscious he was sure of that. Luckily for them, he glanced familiar ship in the distance and flew towards it. He landed with a loud thump and startled the man on the deck.

"What the-" men began and when he saw Toothless he shrieked. Toothless rolled his eyes and moved his head towards his rider.

"Master Hiccup!" men shouted as he ran to catch falling boy from dragon back.

"Johann.." Hiccup muttered.

"What has..." Johann started but when he glanced at the arrow he gasped. And that was the last thing Hiccup heard as he fell unconscious.
