Don't own anything By the way.
So on the Story.
Pain. That's all that Hiccup could feel right now, aside from something wet touching his cheek. He slowly opened his eyes, and was greeted by the acid green eyes of his best friend, just like when he woke up from a coma after fighting the Red Death.
"Ahh. Hey bud, you okay?" said Hiccup groggily. When he tried to sit up, he looked to his window and saw the sun is already up. He guessed it was 8 o'clock already, so he sat up on his bed in an effort to get up for he morning; but after he did that, pain shot through his back and radiated through his whole body. He checked himself over and found that he was covered with bruises and some scratches. Every time he moved he felt sore, so after a little check over, he reached up to his bed post, slowly stood up, and when he finally stood up straight he held his arms above his head and heard some popping noises from his back.
He saw his clothes and armor beside him, they were neatly folded on his desk, and so he dressed up slowly because he felt pain every time he moved. Toothless gave him a concerned croon when he saw that his rider and best friend was in pain. When Hiccup put his cloths on, it told the Night Fury that he was alright. After Hiccup was fully dressed, they headed downstairs.
Downstairs, there was Valka preparing their breakfast with some bread, eggs, and the previous night's fish stew. She looked up and saw Hiccup and Toothless coming for their breakfast. Hiccup sat down on his father's old chair while Toothless headed for his basket of fish.
"You alright, son?" Valka asked with concern on her voice because several houses crushed him and a block of ice hit him from behind. He was lucky he was even alive!
"Yeah mom, I'm just sore. What happened? The last thing I remember, I was talking to the dragons and something hit me from behind and everything blacked out." said Hiccup and sighed. "What a thing to start a day, huh?"
"Well when you were talking to the dragons, the new dragon woke up and threw Snotlout off first, and threw a block of ice at us, we avoid it, and it hit you and you crashed through the damaged houses." Valka explained while heading to her seat and sitting beside Hiccup and they started to eat.
"So Mom, I'm curious, you said you know that dragon?" asked Hiccup after finishing his bread and taking sip of his mug.
"Yes. I heard about it in stories and from a friend back in the day, he was the one that proved to me that dragons were not what we thought they were." sighed Valka. She'd forgotten about the friend until now.
"So, mind telling me what species that dragon is?" Hiccup asked curiously. That dragon was not on the Book of Dragons and his mother and her old friend had the answers about it.
"We'll let see hmm... He said it was called the Paradox Dragon, it has the ability to travel in time and it was second in rank to the most powerful dragon in legend back in the day. It can do almost anything. It likes to travel alone and find peaceful places to stay and away from humans. In ancient times many people tried to take control of it for its power, but many failed. With a dragon like that, you can take over the whole world. They say, or in the stories at least, it's because of people like that this dragon doesn't trust humans anymore. In ancient times this dragon liked to help and protect people that showed care, love, trust, and loyalty to it. It gave a reason to protect humans from its brother or counterpart." said Valka and sighed sadly because people tried to control the Paradox Dragon for their own greediness, and it made her sick to the very core of her being, and sad for the dragon to lose its trust to humans and live alone for its entire life.
"But you know, my friend said that someday Dialga will trust humans again in the right time, maybe not today or not tomorrow but someday."
"Uh Dialga?" asked Hiccup to Valka, because if Dialga the Paradox Dragon doesn't trust humans anymore, then how could that 'friend' of hers name it? Valka realized what she said and try to explain it: "Oh, Dialga was my friend's name for it because he said Dialga showed a little trust to him. I didn't believe him, and he explained everything he knew about the dragon just like I'm doing to you. But something was not right on Dialga." said Valka with unsure feeling she had for now.
"What is it, Mom? What's wrong with Dialga?" asked Hiccup with worry in his voice. If a powerful dragon like Dialga is have problem they will have problems too. "It's just that Dialga's chest plate is empty, and it needs something to fill this empty indentation on it." said Valka.
Hiccup put the observations together and realization hit him: "So that's why Dialga was looking for something! It's looking for something like a gem! It must be important to him, but so you know what it might look like, Mom?" asked Hiccup.
"My friend described it to me, but after Thor's day Thursday, and the confession of your father's feeling to me, he was gone the next day. He told me that he was going to continue his travels. That's the last time we saw or heard of him," said Valka still having a hard time to remember her old friend. Seeing this, Hiccup tried to change the subject and comfort her: "It's alright, Mom, it's been so long since you've seen this friend of yours." Looking to the window he saw how bright it was outside.
"Well, I think I should go now and help the others to repair the damaged houses, among other chiefly duties."
"I should help you with the other stuff you going to do, you're not going to finish it all in one day With the additional damages that Dialga did earlier, you're going to need more help today." suggested Valka. She was right, with additional work, Hiccup will have no time for himself or the plans he had to do with Astrid today so Hiccup accepted his mother's help. After they put the their dishes in the sink and they headed out on the front door with their own lists of tasks. Hiccup will help with the repairs for the village, while Valka handled the harvesting and checking the food storages for both Vikings and dragons. With their dragons at their sides, they set out to do what needed to be done.
Hiccup headed to the site where many Vikings and dragons were working, some carrying wood, and some were fixing roofs, walls and so on. Hiccup saw Gobber giving instructions and approached him.
"Hey Gobber" said Hiccup. The Blacksmith turned and greeted him with a smile" "Ah Hiccup, glad to see you up and running now, eh lad. House collision is no picnic."
Gobber turned around to give another instruction to a Viking to ask his Gronkle to move a fallen post.
"So how many houses have been destroyed Gobber?" Hiccup asked.
Gobber turned his attention to Hiccup again to say. "Well there are five houses destroyed, including Snotlout's, and there were four damaged ones near my forge, and that's it."
They looked around the site and saw the five destroyed ones was on their right and the four damaged ones were to the left.
After a check Hiccup turned to Gobber and said that he'll take care the rest from here on out and thanked the man. Gobber said it wasn't a problem and headed for the forge to make some materials. Hiccup and Toothless turned to the site and started helping with the repairs. With the help of the dragons everything was going smooth; and at noon they paused to have a lunch break, and they finally finished the repairs and re-building on 3:00 in the afternoon. Hiccup now had time to spare with Astrid.
They've been together for about five years now so his going to do it today After his work was done and nothing else to do. Hiccup and Toothless headed over to Valka to check if she needed help in finishing the harvest, collecting eggs, yak milk, and wool from the sheep. When they got there, Hiccup saw his mother was just herding the last sheep to its pen with the others that had finished getting their wool sheared, so he went to her.
"Hi Mom!" greeted Hiccup with a smile, while Valka closed the pen, turned around and smiled to her son" "Hello! So how was the repairs and re-building?"
"Everything's finished. So how was the harvesting? I see everything is alright." Hiccup said, and looked around for something he might need to do, but saw only a few farmers and their dragons carrying the vegetables and the other stuff.
Valka chuckled because she knew Hiccup was looking for something to do, she gave him a smile and said: "Everything's done here, son, nothing left here to do too, and if you're looking for Astrid, she's already gone after she loaded the last vegetable cart and fed Stormfly."
So after hearing that, the only thing to do was to check the storage, and he can go to Astrid, ask her to go flying, find a hangout, and give her the surprise of her life. He looked to his mother sheepishly, and she told him: "Alright, go on now, I'll take the food to storage, so you can go and spend time with Astrid." Valka chuckled as she saw her son's face light up; Hiccup gave her a smile and hugged her.
"Thanks Mom!" He said, and gave her a quick peck on the cheek. He then mounted Toothless and started heading to where Astrid was and Valka had to giggle because Hiccup was acting like a five-year-old that waking up on Snoggletog, excited to open up presents! With that, she mounted Cloudjumper and headed for the food storage.
O O
Hiccup and Toothless flew all the way to Astrid's house because Astrid was always feeding Stormfly herself because that's what Hiccup taught the other dragon riders that: 'feeding time is bonding time'. After they flew there he saw Astrid giving Stormfly her basket of chicken and feeding her, Hiccup adjusted Toothless' tail fin to land beside Astrid's house and then slipped off Toothless' saddle.
"Afternoon Milady!" greeted Hiccup. Astrid turned around and returned the smile Hiccup gave her, threw her arms around his neck, and gave him peck of his lips.
"Hey babe, so how are you? After that dragon hit you and knocked you out, I was getting worried. You're not pushing yourself right?" asked Astrid with concern on her voice because Hiccup always getting himself in trouble.
"I'm alright now, a little sore and some bruises and scratches but still fine and alive." said Hiccup with an honest smile.
Astrid was satisfied with Hiccup's statement. She turned back to feed Stormfly by putting the whole basket in front of her. While Astrid was doing that Hiccup breathed deeply to summon up some courage to get her come along with him and find a perfect place for them to be together.
"So, Astrid, want to go flying around on the island or have a little walk or something?" asked Hiccup with a slight tremor in his voice. For what he had in mind, it was normal to be a bit nervous; but with that said Astrid turned around to face him and saw his face flush, so she smiled and said: "Sure, but how about we walk along on the beach for a change."
She really liked Hiccup's company but because he's the new chief now, they only have a little time for themselves, and it is their time now, they have to relish it. She loves Hiccup, and she doesn't have to hide her feelings for him. They walked across the village hand in hand to the docks with Toothless in tow because Stormfly was decided to stay and rest because of the work today; while they were walking, they watched as people were going to the mess hall or to their homes and some fathers were greeted by their children and a loving wife, Hiccup and Astrid imagined that would be how their married life would go.
When they reached the beach, the beautiful sky was colored with orange, purple, and pink. With the calm sea, it was so peaceful, a soft breeze blowing with a comfortable lightness. After a while Astrid was the one break the comfortable silence on them and they started to continue their walk while talking about their day and what they been doing sometimes Hiccup told Astrid what Valka told him about Dialga, the Paradox Dragon, and of how Stoick the Vast stuttered when he made the confession of his feelings to Valka, they had a good time talking about it because it took three days for them to get the opportunity to have this time together.
So Hiccup sensed that this was the perfect time, when he saw that the sun was kissing the horizon, he stopped in his tracks and so did Astrid. She turned around to him with a questioning look on her face.
"Astrid, I-I-I have something I-important to ask y-you." Stuttered Hiccup he looked at her in those beautiful, tantalizing, ocean-blue eyes; while Toothless was near the forest edge, sitting and watching because he knew what Hiccup was doing, so he just watched and waited to see if Hiccup was being rejected, and ready to comfort him just in case.
Hiccup closed his eyes and take a deep breath and slowly looked back to Astrid, and told her: "From the time we were little I always admired you from a distance, and well I like you not just for your good looks, but also for what's inside you and from being who you are. I know I can't be the Viking other women dream of. I'm not big and I'm not that strong, unlike traditional Vikings; but I tell you this: I will love you, protect you from any harm, I will be loyal to you, and I will do anything for you."
With these words, Astrid knew she really did choose the right man to love her for being who she is! Astrid didn't regret choosing Hiccup, and she was already waiting for him to propose within three years of their relationship, and now here he is trying to propose FINALLY!
"So Astrid Camicazi Hofferson will you " Hiccup paused to gulp out of nervousness, "will you ma-"
*BOOM* their enchanted moment had been disturbed by an explosion! They turned around and found the source of the explosion, and it was coming from the village! The two cursed under their breath for being interrupted on their important moment and with that they exchanged a knowing look and nodded. Toothless came to them slightly tense because he knew what caused the explosion or should I say whom?
They mounted onto Toothless and headed for the village. Hiccup noticed Toothless' behavior so he patted his head and comfort him.
"It's okay, Toothless, we'll be alright, I won't let him use you even he doesn't like humans." Hiccup said calmly. Toothless crooned thankfully to Hiccup for being there for him, and for understanding, even when he unwillingly killed Stoick when Drago command his Bewilderbeast to command him to kill Hiccup instead of Stoick, Hiccup was still so understanding with him.
So they arrived at the village, and they saw Valka and the rest of the riders trying get Dialga out of the village, but something caught Hiccup's attention, the riders were chasing the new dragon but there was only one rider Dialga was chasing and guess who it was Yep Snotlout! He was the only one that Dialga was chasing, the reason why? We don't know, yet.
