starting here i am going to be telling hiccups past in his pov. i will be telling why he is the way he is now. this will take a few chapters to tell the last 13 years.

as the sun shown through the thick forest of berk, a figure could be seen walking down a faint path towards ravenspoint. the figure was of a boy around 13 years of age and was mumbling faintly to himself.

"useless. if im soo use why do they tolerate me so?" the boy kept repeating to himself.

(hiccups pov)

for the last 10 years, every day they have beat, belittled, and hated me. my body is covered in bruises from all their beatings. it hurts everytime i move.

you may be thinking i must have done something to deserve this treatment, right?

but the sickening thing is that i have done absolutely nothing to deserve everything that has been thrown at me. all i've done is live.

(normal pov)

as hiccup approached the small mountain called ravenspoint, he looked over to a crack in the rocks. he approached the rocks and then squeezed through them.

he emerged on the other side and was instantly crushed by a fast moving black dragon.

"toothless let me up." hiccup deadpanned.

toothless, unnerved by the tone of his rider, which is normally cheerful, slowly raised himself off of hiccup. he cooed softly with worry in his voice.

"hiccup what's wrong" toothless asked softly

"nothing bud, it's just that i'm sick and tired of this place." hiccup answered

"we could leave. i'd be much happier knowing that you're safe from those monsters" toothless proposed

"tooth we've been over this i can't just disappear without them trying to hunt us down."

"but with you riding on my back they won't be able to catch us"

"yeah that is true, but bud, how will we survive by ourselves?" hiccup sighed.

"simple. il hunt, and you do everything else." toothless snickered.

"oh yeah, i forgot you're a useless reptile" hiccup countered.

"with wings" toothless retorted.

"right..." hiccup finished.

'maybe this is a good idea, i would be safe with toothless and he would do anything to keep me safe.' hiccup thought to himself. after a few moments hiccup spoke

"fine you win"

"REALLY!?" toothless exclaimed.

"yes. no one here is gonna miss me so i might as well go and try and have a life that is away from them."

as hiccup spoke he got a bit more excited to do this. 'these people didn't respect him, so he may as well leave. who knows maybe he'll find a new home' hiccup thought to himself.

"YES! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO REGRET THIS, I PROMISE!" toothless exclaimed.

hiccup just shook his head while smiling.

"alright calm down there killer, i still need to grab some stuff and then were gone."

"ok, but hurry cuz i wana get going." toothless sighed

"dont worry i should get there, pack and be back here all in about 4 hours. as long as there isn't any complications"

"fine, fine. i'm just excited to get out of here"

hiccup turns and runs off and heads back to the village. after getting back he goes home and grabs a bag with two handles and a slit between the handles,(medieval duffel bag). he packs his clothes, books, sketchbooks and charcoal sticks.

he then runs over to the forge and grabs his tools that he specifically made for himself since he was left handed and all the tools that were there before were only right handed. he then proceeded to the store house and grabbed a bunch of fish, some bread, and even some smoked mutton. after this he went home and started to load his bag with these items.

after stuffing his bag with everything but his food he decided to grab his shoulder bag(medieval back pack) and fill it with the food.

now that he had his stuff he put his shoulder bag on his back with the straps over each shoulder and the big bag was attached to the bottom of the shoulder bag. he headed to the forest to get back to toothless.

after walking for twenty minutes he heard the sound of metal striking wood. he knew who it was and decided to watch one last time before never returning.

after walking in the direction that the sounds were coming from he arrived at a small clearing where a girl around ten was practicing with her axe. she had long blond hair in a loose braid. her name was astrid and even though hiccup is 13 and shes 10 he didn't care. she was still pretty in his eyes. he let out a small sigh and turned away to walk back to the cove, leaving his small childhood crush behind.

he arrived to the cove were toothless already had the saddle on and ready to go.

"you are back twenty minutes ahead of schedule. im impressed. now let's go." toothless said.

"yeah that sounds like a good idea" hiccup smiled.

hiccup attached the big bag to toothless's saddle and left his shoulder bag on himself. he then climbed on toothless back and attached himself to the saddle with his harness.

"ready?" toothless asked

"yeah let's go" hiccup said with a small smile on his face.

with that they took to the sky and ready to start their adventure together.

yes i know it has been a while and this is a really short chapter and for both of those i am sorry. i already know what the first thing was going to be that darkened hiccup and it was going to happen at the end of this chapter but i decided that this felt like a good spot to end this chapter and i will be uploading the next chapter much sooner than this one took.
