A/N: I heard this song, and I thought… Wow, Astrid's pep talk, anyone? It reminded me of that scene. You know the one… "You must feel terrible, you've lost everything…" It takes place around there in the movie. Hiccups POV.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
It was… There wasn't a single word to describe the feeling. My so-called father had disowned me, my village had deserted me, and my best friend was currently chained to a boat. It was a pain in my chest that I'd never experienced before.
No words, My tears won't make any room for more,
And it don't hurt, like anything I've ever felt before, this is
No broken heart,
No familiar scars,
This territory goes uncharted...
I was completely and utterly alone. I had nothing, no one. How could I have let this happen?
Just me, in a room sunk down in a house in a town, and I
Don't breathe, no I never meant to let it get away from me
And dad just HAD to go and find the nest. It was such a big prize, that he just completely ignored me! What had I done wrong? Everything.
Now, too much to hold, everybody wants has to get their hands on gold,
And I want uncharted.
Stuck under this ceiling I made, I can't help but feeling...
Maybe I could do something! Anything! I could go after them! I could ride one of the other dragons and free Toothless and… And then what? Run? No, there was nothing to be done.
I'm going down,
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around,
Like you'll show me where to go,
I'm already out, of foolproof ideas, so don't ask me how
To get started, it's all uncharted...
I heard footsteps approach me, and I heard Astrid's voice.
"It's a mess… You must feel awful, you've lost everything! Your father, your tribe, your best friend…" I was not in the mood to be made fun of.
"Thank you, for summing that up." Whatever, I was alone before Toothless, and I'll just be alone again.
Each day, counting' up the minutes, till I get alone, 'cause I can't stay
In the middle of it all, it's nobody's fault, but I'm
So alone, Never knew how much I didn't know,
Oh, everything is uncharted.
I know I'm getting nowhere, when I only sit and stare like...
"Why didn't I kill that dragon when I found it in the woods? It would have been better for everyone…"
"Any of the rest of us would have, so why didn't you?" I was silent. "Why didn't you?" She repeated. I didn't want to tell her.
I'm going down,
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around,
Like you'll show me where to go,

"I don't know. I couldn't."
"That's not an answer."
"Why is this so important to you all of the sudden?" I asked, So what? Did she want to make fun of me? Write a book about the biggest LOOSER ever? I wish she would just say something reassuring, like everything was going to be okay, but I knew it wasn't.
Jump start my kaleidoscope heart,
Love to watch the colors fade,
They may not make sense,
But they sure as hell made me.
"Because I want to remember what you say, right now." She looked into my eyes, and I knew that she honestly just wanted to know. But still…
"Oh, for the love of-, I was a coward!" I said, turning to face her. "I was weak! I wouldn't kill a dragon!"
"You said 'Wouldn't' that time!" This girl didn't miss a beat!
"Whatever! I wouldn't! Three-hundred years, and I am the first Viking who wouldn't kill a dragon!"
"First to ride one though… so?" I gave up. It was time for the truth.
"I wouldn't kill him, because he looked as frightened as I was, I looked at him… and I saw myself."
I won't go as a passenger, no
Waiting for the road to be laid
Though I may be going down,
I'm taking flame over burning out,
"I bet he's pretty frightened now. What're you gong to do about it?"
I thought on this. "Probably something stupid."
"Good, but you've already done that." True, true.
"Then something Crazy!" I jogged away from her, Inspiration hitting me. It WAS crazy, but it might just work.
Compare, where you are to where you want to be, and you'll get nowhere
I was on my way, but I distantly heard her say…
"That's more like it."
I'm going down,
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around,
Like you'll show me where to go,
I'm already out, foolproof ideas, so don't ask me how
To get started,
I knew she would follow me, but I hoped she realized that I had literally no plan. I may have trained a dragon, but when in came to taking down huge Queen dragons… well, you could say that this particular activity is completely uncharted…
I'm going down,
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around,
Like you'll show me where to go,
I'm already out, foolproof ideas, so don't ask me how
To get started, it's all uncharted...
Oh, well. I'll figure it out.
