Chapter 1:

Hiccup's V.O

This is the story of how I die. It's going to be great right. I mean pain, love it. No wait! Don't leave! I'm just kidding! YOUCH! Stop hitting me author girl. I know! I made a mistake! Uhhh! Some people can be so cranky. YOUCH! AHHH! I GET IT I GET IT! Ok. Let's continue. It's really about a beautiful, amazing, brave **dreamy stare** yet feisty girl. Her name is Astrid. Yup I know a great name. It really is. It means divine beauty and it also fits her. Ok anyways, enough chit-chat about that.

Once Upon a Time, a single drop of sunlight fell from Valhalla. And from this small drop of sun, grew a magic golden flower. It had the ability to heal the sick and injured.

Well a century past and a dragon ride away a Village was built. It's 12 days north of hopeless and a few degrees south of freezing to death. It's located solidly on the meridian of misery. Yeah there were a lot of dragon raids here, but since the vikings here were boar-headed and stubborn they never moved but just fought them. It was ruled Chief Stoick the Vast and Chiefess Valka the Great.

A few years into their marriage the Chiefess was about to have a baby. But, by her amazing luck she was deathly ill. And she was running out of time. That's the time when people usually start to look for a miracle. or in this case a magic golden flower.

You see, instead of sharing the sun's gift, this man, Drago Bludvist, (I know the name gives me the shivers) hoarded its healing power and used it to keep himself young for hundreds of years. Talk about being selfish. All he had to do, was sing a special song. Flower, gleam and glow, let your power shine, make the clock reverse and bring back what once was mine. What once was mine.

He sings to it and turns young. It's amazing right? NOT! Can we get a vote for creepy and weird. But then again, we're all weird.

The magic of the golden flower healed the Chiefess. A healthy baby girl was born. An heiress was born. With luscious golden hair and eyes the color of the sea sparkling in the summer sun. Her skin was a glittering peach and soft as silk.

Now, if you can't guess who it is, your helpless. To celebrate ASTRID'S birth, the chief and chiefess lit a lantern. And for that one moment, everything was perfect. And then that moment vanished like a baby yak being uplifted by a Monstrous Nightmare. Drago broke into the castle and stole the child. And as fast as a Night Fury, they were gone.

Berk searched high and low for them, but, there was no sign of them. For deep within the forest, in a hidden tower, Drago raised the child as his own

Astrid singing, Flower, gleam and glow, let your power shine, make the clock reverse and bring back what once was mine. What once was mine. **hair glows**

Drago had found his new magic flower. And this time, he was determined to keep it hidden.

Young Astrid asks, "Why can't I go outside?"

Drago answers, "The outside world is a dangerous place, filled with gnomes and trolls. Demons and devils. And above all filthy, flying, overgrown reptiles. You must stay here where your safe. Do you understand flower?"

Astrid replies, "Yes father."

But the walls of that tower could not hide everything. **Astrid walks down steps, sneaks away** Each year on her birthday the Chief and Chiefess released thousands of lanterns in the sky. In hope that one day their lost heiress would return.

Years later

Eye on Stormfly hiding from Astrid. Astrid opens doors and yells "Ha! Hmm. Well I guess Stormfly isn't hiding out here." Astrid closes door mockingly. Stormfly lets out a sigh of release and laughs. Then Astrid's hair comes down and picks her up. "Gotcha!" Astrid yells. Stormfly squeals in surprise.
