The Princess and the Blacksmith

Once upon a time in faraway kingdom of Berk, there lived a beautiful Viking princess named Astrid. Princess Astrid was the fairest, fiercest and most intelligent maiden in the entire land and many men wanted to win her heart. Including little ole Hiccup the blacksmith.

Hiccup was a scrawny, young blacksmith who kept on messing up on a lot of things. His mother passed away when he was young and his father was often away for he was the first lieutenant of the king. So Hiccup was often left alone and had to work to keep himself alive. Some time when he was young, he got a chance to meet the princess herself when his father took him along to meet the king. He remembered staring into bright, blue eyes peeking out from behind her father. He hoped that someday, he might get a chance with her

Well, a lad can dream, right?

Alas, she was the princess and he was just a scrawny blacksmith who was hardly even a Viking. However, everything changed when he shot down a black, Night Fury dragon in a dragon raid when no one was looking.

He befriended the creature which he later on named as Toothless and soon found a way to bring back his ability to fly. They went on many adventures together and became the best of friends, but the kingdom of Berk was at war with the dragons, so Hiccup kept his friendship with Toothless a secret.

And it just so happens that he was also attending dragon training with the other teens, including the princess. It was in no time at all when she discovered his forbidden friendship with the Night Fury after he outranked her in dragon training.

She was about to tell her father when Hiccup and Toothless 'kidnapped' her and took her on a romantic flight over the kingdom…. With her apologizing to Hiccup first. Just as the flight couldn't get any more romantic, Toothless took them to the dragons' nest and showed them the terrible fate the dragons had to through. In there was a giant, queen dragon that controls the creatures and eats them if they didn't bring enough food.

When they got back home, Hiccup made the princess promise not to tell anyone about Toothless because if they found out, they will kill his best friend. The princess gave her word before punching him on the arm, kissing him on his cheek, and running off towards the kingdom. Hiccup stared shocked but happy at the same time.

The next day, everyone gathered to see Hiccup 'kill' his first dragon, including the king, and first lieutenant Stoick Haddock, Hiccup's father. But, as Hiccup attempted to show everyone the truth about the dragons, the king called to stop the fight, causing the dragon to get startled and chase Hiccup around the ring. Just as the dragon got him pinned to the ground, Toothless came to his rider's rescue and battled the other dragon.

When the chaos died down, the Vikings captured Toothless while Hiccup was dragged by his father into an empty room, enraged at what his son did. Hiccup tried to explain his side but his father would have none of it. Just then Hiccup slipped up about the dragon's nest and before he knew it, Stoick was already making his way out the door. Hiccup tried desperately to get his father to listen to him but he pushed him away. Stoick disowned Hiccup before calling to ready the ships.

Crushed and heartbroken, Hiccup watched as they took his best friend away to face the dragon queen. Astrid soon came beside him and helped him regain back his confidence and determination. He came up with a plan and teamed up with the rest of the teens and taught them how to ride dragons. Soon, they set off towards the battle.

When they got there, they saw the Viking warriors scattered about avoiding getting crushed by the giant dragon that was on a rampage. Despite being terrified, Hiccup led his team into battle using all that they have learned in training to weaken the queen. Hiccup and Astrid proceeded to find Toothless who was trapped on a boat that was on fire. Hiccup jumped in to the rescue of his friend. But just as he was about to free him, a big rock hit the boat causing Toothless and Hiccup to fall into the water.

Hiccup tried desperately to free Toothless but ran out of air before he could do so. Stoick then came to the rescue and got both boy and the dragon to safety. Hiccup was about to join the battle on Toothless again before his father apologized and told him that he was proud to call him his son. Filled with a newfound courage, Hiccup took off on Toothless and together, they helped weaken the queen.

Soon, Hiccup saw the princess falling to her doom so he ordered Toothless to dive for her they caught her just in time before setting her gently on the ground. He and Toothless then executed his crazy plan. Lure the queen dragon to fly, blend in with the night, shoot it with many plasma blasts, destroy its wings, and have it chase them and when the time was right, shoot on last plasma blast at its mouth once it opens.

However, getting fire on Toothless' tail wasn't part of the plan, neither was getting knocked out and falling to your doom wasn't exactly part of the plan either. Toothless desperately tried to reach for Hiccup until they disappeared into the fire.

When the smoke cleared, Stoick called out for his son. Searching everywhere for any signs until he saw Toothless lying unconscious on the ashes of the queen dragon. The princess pushed passed the Vikings until she came to a stop once she saw Stoick kneeling before Toothless.

"No… no, please, no…" She whispered. A hand was placed on her shoulder.

"Your highness," the voice attached to the hand began but Astrid didn't hear it. She didn't even know whose it was. She was too busy praying to all the gods to send some sort of miracle and that Hiccup, the scrawny little blacksmith who saved them all, was alive.

"Please, Odin… please…" Astrid whispered as she watched the Night Fury opened its wings to reveal Hiccup clutched protectively between its paws.

Stoick wasted no time in checking if he was alive before laughing in relief and announcing that he was in fact alive. Everyone cheered and the princess gasped as she put her hands over her mouth in relief and happiness thanking all the gods. But there was something missing about him and she paled as she saw what it was.

Two weeks after the battle, Hiccup woke up to see that he was in his house and what's more surprising that Toothless was there with him. He was about to get the Night Fury out of the house when he felt something was wrong. He looked down and saw that his left leg was replaced with a prosthetic one. Events of the battle came rushing back to him as he and Toothless made their way out of the house.

Everyone greeted Hiccup and thanked him for what he has done. Then suddenly, the princess came and slugged him on the arm.

"That's for scaring me." She said.

"But, Princess! What, is it always gonna be like this all the time cause—"

He didn't even get to finish his sentence when Astrid kissed him. He couldn't believe that the princess was kissing him. When she pulled away, he stared at her with half lidded eyes.

"I could get used to it." He finished earning laughs from the people.

Everything turned out to be okay. He, Toothless, the princess, along with the rest of their new friends ended a three hundred year old war between Vikings and dragons. He got his wish and the princess became his girlfriend. Years later, they were married and lived happily ever after with the dragons.

The End.

"Seriously, Gobber?" Hiccup said as he finished reading a book that Gobber wrote. The only reason he and his friends decided to give the book a chance was because Gobber said that Hiccup and Astrid were in it and that it mentioned their friends as well.

"I'm a princess?" Astrid asked disgusted. "'Cause I'm telling you I am not a princess."

"It's just a story, Astrid." Gobber said rolling his eyes. He received looks from the gang before he sighed. "What, ye lily-rivers don't like it? Well, I've got something else. It's a play I've written me self." Gobber said as he handed a scroll to Hiccup. He opened it hesitantly before he and his friends began to read it.

"Horrendous?!" Hiccup exclaimed as he stared at Gobber.

"At least you don't have the name 'Snotface'!"

"Twiglegs?" Fishlegs asked as he stared with weary eyes at the paper.

"I love our name!" Tuffnut said as he head-butted with his sister.

"And why does Toothless have the name 'Blacky'?" Hiccup asked. Toothless stared at Gobber with a horrified expression.

Blacky the Dragon?! I am sooo out of here. Nobody calls me Blacky! Toothless tried to say but it only came out as a bunch of growls and gurgles before he stalked out of the hall. All eyes then turned to Gobber.

"So, ye'll do it?" He asked in a hopeful voice.

"NO!" the teens said, minus Ruffnut and Tuffnut, before following Toothless out the door. Gobber sighed as Ruffnut took a hold of the paper.

"How in the name of Odin's beard will Mildew's sheep play the Red Death?"
