I decided to get the first chapter started and I hope you all enjoy it.


Chapter 1: Where is Hiccup?

Once everyone had returned from the Great Hall, Gobber walked over to the forge and saw Gothi sitting down in Hiccup's chair, a sad expression on her face as she had bad news.

"What's wrong Goth'?" Gobber asked the elder.

Gothi slowly wrote runes on the ground as Gobber looked at them. Once she finished, Gobber's expression saddened.

"He's gone…b-but is it really that bad?" Gobber asked sadly.

Gothi nodded her head and sighed sadly.

"Let's not tell Stoick and the others that Hiccup ran away from home. Stoick won't take it well," Gobber mumbled, not knowing that Astrid Hofferson had heard the whole thing.

'If the heir is gone then I have to tell chief,' Astrid thought as she ran to the Chief's house.

Stoick was inside, sitting in his living room with an ice block on his head.

"Why can't he just listen to me? I'm just trying to turn him into a strong Viking like the rest of us," Stoick thought to himself.

Suddenly he heard frantic knocking on his door, he sttod up and opened it to see Astrid standing at his door with a look of fear on her face.

"Astrid please come in," Stoick said, moving out of the way so Astrid could come in.

Astrid walked in and sat down in the living room, waiting patiently as Stoick closed and walked over to where he was sitting.

"What can I help you with Astrid?" Stoick asked.

"Well I was on my way home when I realized I dented my axe a bit. I went to the forge but I overheard Gobber talking to Elder Gothi," Astrid said slowly.

Stoick nodded his head to show that he was paying attention because everyone in the village knows that Gothi is always serious about what she is saying despite being a mute.

"Hiccup ran away," Astrid said.

Stoick's eyes widen in shock as he quickly stood up and ran up the stairs to his son's room. He opened the door to see it somewhat bare. The bed was made as if no one ever slept in it. The closet and desk were empty and cleaned out. The bookself that Hiccup made for his journals was there but his journals were gone and so were the drawings.

Stoick stared in fear and shock as he looked around to see if there may be any part of his son left in the room.

"Astrid, call the village and have them send search parties over Berk. I want my son home," Stoick ordered.

"Aye Aye Chief," Astrid said as she ran out the house and told every village that Stoick said everyone search for Hiccup, he's missing.

The village sprang to action looking for the heir of their tribe, despite none of them really liking the little screw up.

Snotlout and the twins, finding out the news that Hiccup went missing, looked around for the boy as well since they were the last to see him before everyone ate.

Every Viking reported that they saw no sign of Hiccup, causing Stoick to show his sadness at losing the only part of his wife he had left.

'Son where are you?' Stoick thought to himself worriedly.

Gobber and Gothi looked around as the village looked at their chief with pity and sadness.

"Stoick," Gobber called out to his best friend and walked over to him.

"When did he leave…?" Stoick asked.

"When everyone was in the Great Hall, feasting," Gobber answered.

"Valka…I failed in protecting and raising our son, I'm so sorry," Stoick whispered to himself.

"Um Uncle Stoick?" Snotlout called out.

"What is it Snotlout?" Stoick asked his nephew sadly.

"We saw Hiccup before everyone went to the Great Hall," Snoutlout said as he gestured to himself and the twins.

Stoick perked up and looked at his nephew with hopeful eyes.

"What did he say?" Stoick asked hopeful.

"We thought he was joking. He said he was packing his stuff and leaving Berk," Snotlout said with a frown.

"We told him everyone would be happy not to see him being useless and a screw up," Tuffnut stated as he looked down in shame with his twin.

Stoick looked at the three of them in shock at what he heard and looked down, knowing it was their fault his son was gone.

"He left because he got tired of being the outcast of the tribe. He left to leave behind the pain he felt from the people he grew around and knew," Gobber stated sadly.

Hearing that it was their faults that the heir left, every Viking lowered their head in shame.

Gothi looked at them then slowly wrote some runes on the ground and Gobber looked down at them.

"The only ones he believes care about him are Gothi and I," Gobber stated, causing pain to flash in his best friend's eyes.

Stoick slowly walked back to his empty home, upset that his son believed he didn't love him nor cared about him.

"What have I done?" Stoick asked himself as he walked inside his house as the villagers watched their Chief sadly then quietly left their homes.

Fishlegs walked home, ashamed and saddened knowing he was a cause of his friend's anguish.

Everyone slept little knowing that they had caused Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third to leave his home, where he was suppose to feel protected and loved by the will of Valka Haddock, his mother.

Astrid looked out her window sadly and saw a star.

'Please Thor and Odin, watch over Hiccup and keep him safe,' Astrid prayed as she closed her eyes to a nightmare of being left behind by Hiccup.

The village had a gloom over them since discovering that their Chief's son left because of his village.

Stoick walked into his son's room and sat on his bed carefully as his memories consumed him of Hiccup's childhood. He frowned as he realized he barely raised his son and never listened to him. He slowly began to notice he didn't even know his own son. He covered his eyes with his hands and closed his eyes in shame.

"I did this to my son….it's all my fault for not being a father to my little Hiccup. My son…my boy is gone," Stoick mumbled as tears formed and fell as he silently cried over causing his son to leave.

With Hiccup

He was shivering as he cuddled in a warm blanket. Above him, dragons watched and fly over him as if protecting him. A small night fury about his age landed on the boat and curled around the boy to keep him warm as the dragons around the boat gently pushed the boat towards their White King Bewilderbeasts' domain. Hiccup stopped shivering and cuddled against the warmth of the night fury he will one day befriend, trust and call Toothless.
