How You Doing Insane Gang!
It has been awhile since I updated anything HTTYD related but with the new trailer for the 3rd and final movie gave me some motivation and also I have been binge-watching the RTTE seasons.
Hiccup's uneasiness grew the more he watched the preparation from above. The once peaceful island of Berk is being transformed into a war zone. His fingers tightened of the harness.
For the first time, he was at a loss. Hiccup became a dragon rider for one sole purpose; to save all dragons. Now both worlds are colliding and he can't choose between saving dragons and saving his tribe.
Stoick thought it was an easy decision to be made. He cares about dragons sure, but when they start coming after his son and his tribe his resolve is clear. The same could be said for Astrid. The warrior mentality that they both possess is unrivaled.
Toothless landed on a sea stack far away from the busy island. Tossing, rocks into the ocean beneath him, Hiccup's mind swam in guilt.
"Ugh, I don't know Bud..."
Toothless warbled back in concern.
"I want to defeat the fliers and take back the Edge but I just can't bring myself to hurt those innocent dragons."
Talons scraping against dirt brought himself and Toothless out of their musings.
"Astrid!" "How did you find me?"
She laughed lightly. "I don't know why you are surprised anymore, we know each other like the back of our hands." "Of course you would be here thinking."
Astrid proceeded to sit right next to him. He turned back to face the sunset.
"Then I'm guessing, you know what I'm thinking about."
Nodding she laced her fingers with his. "I know we disagree on to approach the fliers and I don't want to hurt those dragons but...sometimes decisions need to be made."
"Sounds exactly like what my dad said."
"Like a warrior, but we all know that's not how you think." Astrid pointed out.
Hiccup stared down at the ground beneath him.
"In my heart and in my mind I just can't hurt innocent dragons." "Does that make me a bad leader for not protecting our tribe?"
Frustration welled up inside of him as he threw a large sized rock into the waves.
"Hiccup look at me."
His eyes flicked to her but refused to meet her gaze.
Rolling her eyes and sighing she placed both hands on each side of his cheeks, thrusting his face into hers.
"Hiccup you are in no means a bad leader." She continued on, "It's honorable that you want to protect all innocent lives but...this is a war now and in war, you can't save everyone."
Hardened resolve reached his eyes and his brain became clear.
"Not if I don't try."
Pushing himself up he mounted Toothless.
"Where are you going?"
"To figure out how to save those Singetails." Hiccup opened his mouth to add another thing.
"I know I will buy you some time for you to do your thing." Astrid interrupted him.
Smiling slightly he nodded. Astrid put a hand on Toothless's head.
"If this plan of yours doesn't work be prepared for the other option."
"Well, hopefully, it doesn't come down to that."
He bent down to peck her soundly on the mouth.
"I owe you one Astrid."
She waved it off. "I think all of us don't want to hurt them if we don't have to."
"I know."
"And for the love of Thor be careful."
"I know that too."
Just realized that this will be the 50 for this collection. I never thought so many people would stick beside this story for so long. I love you guys.
Stay Crazy.
