Tic Toc
35seconds. Hiccup grabbed his newest contraption, a bola launcher, and run out of the forge. Dodging around the crowds of people he headed towards a ridge that overlooked the 'battle'.
25seconds. He reached the top of the ridge.
10 seconds. He sets up the bola launcher and searches for a target.
5 seconds. The ballistic moaning of the approaching nightfury began to sound.
3 seconds. The catapult explodes. He takes aim.
2 seconds. He fires.
1 second. Thwack! The bola hits it's target.
Hiccup lens back slightly in surprise there was only a 15% chance that would work. In his excitement he almost misses the light scrape of dragon claws climbing up the ridge. Almost. He sprinted for cover but had to slow down as he could still be seen.
He couldn't outrun it. Perfect. Plan B, scream and run. He ran screaming like a banshee behind the base of one of the giant torches. Napalm like fire bathed the side of the wooden torch nearly burning it through, peaked around the side to check the dragons species and position. He never made it that far.
Stoic the vast let out a mighty yell as he smacked the poor beast in the head. Anger, annoyance, and bloodlust were all prominent in his posture as he gripped the handle of his hammer. The dragon which hiccup could now see was a strong and beautiful example of a 6 year old monstrous nightmare. It was out of fire, and didn't stand a chance.
After beating away the dragon Stoic rounded on hiccup,
"Why can't you follow the simplest orders!" It wasn't a question, he could tell from his fathers stance and tone anything he said would only serve to make Stoic angrier, so he kept his mouth shut.
"Winter is almost here and I have the entire village to feed!" Hiccup had to bite his tongue to keep from making a comment on how the village could do with a little less feeding. "Go back to the house," to Gobber he said, " make sure he gets there I have his mess to clean up."
Hiccup made to his decision, he would never be fully accepted here as he was.
He was going to find that nightfury and train it then he'd make them open their eyes.
