Six years later - - - Life on Berk

Life for me was never the same after that day. After the 'incident' as it was now called everyone acted as if nothing had happened. It makes me sick to think that everyone can just pretend that a person never existed, especially someone as… well known as Hiccup. Stoick was never the same after that day; he became obsessed with hunting dragons. No dragon ever lived once Stoick got hold of them; dragons weren't even spared for dragon training. The things Stoick did to the dragons… make me want to hurl just thinking about it. And anyone that stood up to Stoick was exiled, no one was shown mercy, not even Gobber. I'll never forget the day when Stoick exiled his closest friend.

Flash Back

It had been a month since the 'incident' and Berk was just cleaning up the mess from the previous night's raid. It had been the first raid since the 'incident' but everyone treated it just the same, except no one expected to hear the call of a Night Fury. The smell of dragon blood was still thick in the air. Gobber approached Stoick, dried blood all over his fur vest. "Stoick we captured three dragons, would like us to put them into the dragon pens?"

"No…"

"No? Then what would you like us to do with them?"

"Slaughter them!"

"Stoick listen mate, I hate dragons as much as the next Viking but we need to spare some for dragon training purposes."

"DO I GIVE A SHIT? KILL THEM!"

"Ugh…As you wish chief"

"And while you're at it tell the men that there will be another dragon nest hunt in 3 days, tell them to prepare. "

"Stoick this is the third hunt this month let the men rest and recuperate."

"NO! NO ONE RESTS UNTIL THE DRAGON NEST IS DESTROYED!"

"Stoick! We both know this isn't about the dragons, it's about Hiccup"

"I know no one by that name"

"STOICK LISTEN TO YOURSELF! HICCUP, YOU KNOW HICCUP YOUR SON! AND NO MATTER NOW HARD YOU WISH IT HE IS STILL YOUR SON!"

All went silent as the two men had a stare down, no one dared speak for fear of being shouted at and considering they were all Viking that's saying something.

"Stoick come on let's go sit down and have a talk and just calm down."

"Leave…"

"What?"

"Leave now or ill have you executed…Leave now and never come back"

"Stoick….."

"LEAVE!"

Stoick turned his back on Goober and marched up the hill to his house, not once looking back.

Gobber left that very hour, taking with him very few supplies. He didn't say a word to anyone as he packed up his entire life and walked towards the docks. Gobber walked past me on his way, I felt I should say something to him but I didn't know what to say, but luckily I didn't have too, "Don't give up on him Astrid; I know he will be back some day. Don't forget about him." I knew who he was talking about, and I knew I should act as if he was crazy or something but I couldn't, it felt like my heart would break. "I won't, I promise." Gobber smiled and continued to make his way down the hill. He was never seen or heard from again, but I never gave up hope that he found Hiccup.

End Flashback

After that anyone that said anything about hiccup, even just said his name or stood up to Stoick about his obsession about the dragons nest was either exiled or killed. We have lost so many Vikings due to Stoick's continuous hunt for the dragons nest, so far with no success. We weren't even close to finding it but Stoick refused to give up. Instead of a bustling and happy Viking community, we had become a group of depressed, scared, sorry excuse for Vikings.

Ever since that day when he disappeared, every morning just before sunrise I would go and stand on the cliff and stare out at the horizon. Every day I would hope to see him flying back, back to his home, back to me. I hoped that he would come and make Berk how it as before he left. But every morning he would never come. At first it was just me, but after a while Fishlegs just started showing up on that same cliff top, we never said anything to each other but we both knew why we were there. After Fishlegs the twins started showing up as well, then Snotlout. Every morning just before sunrise we would meet up on the same cliff and watch the sun rise and hope that we would see him, but he never came. I would always be the last one standing up there, not wanting to give up hope. After some more time I would head back to the village and do whatever I could do and I would look forward to tomorrow mornings sunrise and hope that that sun rise would be different.

Life steadily got harder for everyone on Berk. Because of Stoick's pointless hunts there weren't as many Viking left to defend the village from the dragon raids, which meant that dragon got away with a lot of our life stock. Winters were harsh and food in short supply, it is a good thing we Viking are tough otherwise we never would have made it through the hard times.

Things weren't going to good for me personally either. My mum would constantly ask me where I went in the morning, to which I would always reply "To think" but every morning when I would get back from the cliff she would ask me again and again. Ever since my father never returned from one of Stoick's hunts it's been hard for us. We haven't had as much money and food coming in as we would have liked, so as my mum would put it 'it's down to you to do the responsible thing.' She was desperately trying to get me married to Snotlout she keeps saying "your 20 years old and you aren't getting any younger." Snotlout's father was Stoick's brother which made him a very respected Vikings, from one of the high warrior families, which meant that if I married him, my mum and I would be set for life. After Hiccup left; me, the twins, Fishlegs and Snotlout all became really close, but their all like brothers and a sister to me. So even though I like Snotlout I could never bring myself to marry him. Plus I knew that only one person would ever hold my heart and I hadn't seen him in nearly six years because even though i never showed that i liked hiccup i still liked him ever since we were five when he helped me when my father died in a raid.
