I do not own any of HTTYD or Anastasia.
I've loved this song for a long time and it is my birthday so I thought today was the perfect day to post another parody.
I am 20 today!
Sorry if it's a little cheesy/sappy, but I do what speaks to me. But I loved writing the first half the most (Baby Hiccup).
On a cool pre-winters night on the island of Berk, Stoick the Vast and his beloved wife Valka, slept soundly in their ground-floor bedroom.
They could be woken at any time by the warning horn to alert the whole village that the dragons were attacking. But tonight, they were awoken by a different noise.
Both the chief and his wife groggily opened their eyes as the sound of a baby's cries filled the hut. Stoick sighed, rubbing his face, about to pull the blanket off himself to go upstairs, but a gentle hand on his shoulder made him stop.
"I'll get him," Valka said with a tiered but still genuine smile, her legs already hung off the side of their bed. Stoick smiled back, quickly patting her hand still on his shoulder, then laying back down. Valka quickly leaned down to kiss her husband's forehead before getting up and making her way out of the room and up the stairs to the nursery where her nine-month-old baby boy lay in his cradle, upset and crying loudly.
"Hiccup," Valka said fondly as she lifted her son out of his cradle, holding him close to her heart. "Oh…Shhhh. It's okay my sweet boy, I'm here," she cooed as she gently rocked him. "Shhhhhh," she hushed him as he started to calm down. Little Hiccup's crying subsided to light whimpers and coos, so Valka began to sing a song that she had been sung to her whole childhood, and she had been singing it to her son since the day he was born.
Valka:
On the wind, across the sea,
Hear this song and remember.
There you'll be, home with me,
Once upon a Midwinter.
Hiccup cooed and giggled as Valka rubbed her nose gently to her sons'. After that, the chief's wife continued to rock and bounce her son until he fell asleep again.
Valka laid him back down in his cradle and quietly walked back down the stairs. But before she could step back inside her bedroom, a horn sounded from outside.
Another dragon raid.
Valka prayed to the Gods that her husband would be careful and try to spare as many dragons as possible. And that her son will be fine. Hopefully, he would just sleep through the whole raid after being sung their lullaby.
But little did Valka know, that after this night, she would not get to sing him that song for a long time.
After following the mysterious women, who just moments ago claimed she was his long-lost and assumed-to-be-dead mother, Hiccup found himself in the most beautiful place he had ever seen. Green grass under his boot and prosthetic, walls and the ceiling structured high in ice and smooth stone, a huge waterfall pouring into a sparkling lake at the bottom of the cliff where he stood, and flying around every square inch of this spectacular sanctuary, were dragons. More dragons then he'd seen in one place for a long time. Some were dragons he had never even seen before.
Toothless stood by him, marveling at the beauty of the wondrous place with his rider, but soon he started to growl. Hiccup turned to see what his best friend was looking at and saw that owl-like dragon with four wings hanging from a higher part of the cliff face, along with the female dragon thief.
Valka climbed down, with the help of the Stormcutter, and stood before the Hooligan heir. Hiccup stared at her, not sure what to think at this point. Valka took a single step towards him, but Hiccup stepped back. Toothless protectively stepped forward, growling again.
"Son," Valka tried to say, but Hiccup cut her off.
"No. No, you are not…" Hiccup said confused and distraught, trying to fine the right words. "My mothers' dead," he declared.
"Hiccup," Valka desperately tried again.
"My mother is dead. She was carried away by…"
"A dragon?" Valka finished for him. Hiccup stopped to stare at her again. "When you were a baby," Valka continued, knowing she was saying what Hiccup had most likely been told what happened to his mother twenty years ago. But Hiccup still shook his head, confused and upset.
"You… you can't be my mother. Y-you just can't," he sighed turning his head away, rubbing at his eyes.
"Hiccup," Valka still tried to convince him she wasn't lying and crazy. And she felt bad for upsetting her son. But she had to make him see. "I don't expect you to remember but…" Valka stopped herself as a thought from a long ago memory struck her. She knew what she had to do.
Valka quickly cleared her throat, locked her glaze at her grown son before her, his body turned away from her with his arms crossed; hugging himself more like. And she began to sing;
Valka:
Wild boars, Dragon wings,
Hear this song and remember.
(Hiccup's eyes widened as he listened carefully. Something in his mind clicking. Hiccup turned his head back to the dragon thief. Valka smiled lightly.)
There you'll be, here with me,
Once upon a Midwinter.
Hiccup did remember. His father used to sing this song to him whenever he couldn't sleep at night. And he always told him that his mother used to sing it to him every night when he was a baby after waking up crying.
Valka slowly offered out her hand to her son. Hiccup stared from her hand back to her face. The expression she wore was calm and gentle. Hiccup timidly walked forward, slowly extending his own hand out to take hers.' Toothless stayed where he was, cautiously watching how this would play out.
When his hand was in hers,' Valka squeezed his hand a bit tighter before reaching for the other. Both hands in each other's, Valka started swaying in sync as she continued the song.
Valka:
There in my arms, safe and warm,
Thor brings forth a thunderstorm.
Dragons flying gracefully, defying gravity…
The wild dragons of the sanctuary started to approach them. Some landing beside them and others flying above their heads. Attracted to the beautiful voice of their human caretaker. Valka starts spinning, dragging Hiccup with her. They twirl around together while the dragons fly all around them. Hiccup looks everywhere, starting to smile.
Valka:
Far away, long ago,
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart used to know,
But a mother will always remember.
The dragons start to disperse, flying off back to other parts of the sanctuary as the only two humans in the vicinity stopped spinning. Valka and Hiccup were alone on the cliff, except for Toothless, Cloudjumper, and a few straying Scuttleplogs.
Valka stared at Hiccup, more sorry then anything that it's her fault her own son doesn't know her. Valka hesitantly released one of her hands to reach up to his face. When Hiccup didn't flinch away like he did back in the cave, Valka seized the chance and cupped her son's cheek. Hiccup quickly closed his eyes and leaned into her touch. When they were looking at each other again, Valka moved her hand from his cheek to the side of his head, carding her fingers into his auburn hair just above his two small braids.
Valka: And the song, someone sang…
Valka+Hiccup: Once upon a Midwinter.
"Mom?" Hiccup said with a trembling throat. Valka smiled wider, eyes wet, before nodding ever so slightly. But that was all Hiccup needed by this point. Hiccup gasped out a sob before crashing into his mother's welcoming embrace.
Valka held her son warmly as they bent down and sat on the grass of the cliff, still hugging without any indication of letting go anytime soon.
Seriously guys, NO MORE REQUESTS! I still have two or three that I already promised to do that I'm still working on, but no more.
If u give me one in the reviews (and it doesn't even have a comment on the chapter itself) I will ignore it. If u do leave a comment with it, I'll see what I can do.
I don't mean to be so blunt, but some of u have driven me to this and I can't take it anymore.
