Episode 54: The Fathers Gift
-Dragon's Nest-
On the very far side of the island where the dragons inhabited, a certain Sorcerer was looking at the sea. Lizaru eyed his staff as he twirled it a few times before continuing his view as he closed his eyes remembering the very exact day he became the person he was today.
(Flashback to Lizaru/Hiccup's World)
It was a warm day when Astrid met up with Hiccup as she was holding a book in her hands which caused Hiccup to smile.
"You followed through on your dare and now all you have to do is read a spell." Hiccup said to Astrid. "Your positive that nothing will happen if I do this spell?" Astrid asked in return. "Positive besides, there's no such thing as magic anyways." Hiccup said standing in front of her.
"It says here that this "spell" requires a pentagram. " Astrid exclaimed as she showed the design to Hiccup to which he replicated in the dirt.
"Okay then, here goes nothing." Astrid said holding the book in front of her. "σφραγισμένο μέσα τα λόγια της σελίδας, αφήστε που της σκοτεινής αίματος, ανοίξτε τις πόρτες και να περάσει μέσα στον κόσμο μας για μια ακόμη φορά, έτσι ώστε να μπορεί να περπατήσει ξανά και να διακόψει τον κόσμο! Διότι αυτός της σκοτεινής πίστη πατάξει το φως και να φέρει αιώνια χάος. Σας απελευθερώσει!" Astrid chanted.
(Greek To English Translation= sealed within the words of the page, release he of dark blood, open the doors and pass through into our world once more so you may walk again and sever the world! For he of dark faith shall smite the light and bring eternal chaos. I release you!)
The pentagram then glew under Hiccup much to his surprise.
"What the!? Astrid!" Hiccup screamed before the book glowed with black purple flames as dark blue streams of light wrapped themselves around Hiccup's body. "Hiccup!" Astrid cried out as she ran towards him but was sent flying backwards. All she could do was watch in horror.
Hiccup felt his body change as his mind began to hear a voice with it being topowerful for him to fight off. Silently he whispered. "I'm sorry Astrid...this is all my fault, I just wanted to say...I always loved you...
His eyes changed as they went from white to green, emerald green turned to jade and the finally the light in his eyes turned crimson red. His once all green top turned to black on his chest. A necklace then appeared around his neck as the pentagram stopped glowing and the streams of light disappeared. "Hiccup...are you okay?" Astrid asked.
"Hehe..I have to thank you my sweet, after all you freed me from my wretched prison" the boy said getting to his feet. Astrid gasped as it didn't sound like Hiccup's voice but he looked exactly like him. "Who are you?! What have you done to Hiccup!?" she angrily asked. "Hehehe how rude of me not to introduce myself to the witch who has freed me. My name is Lizaru The Dark One and I was one of four Sorcerers that roamed this pathetic land but now I'm free and I will make this pathetic world crumble before me!" Lizaru said laughing much to Astrid's anger.
"I'm not letting you do that!" Astrid exclaimed. "Sorry thats not going to happen. But on the bright side you can send me back in the book but that won't be happening. Goodbye...Astrid.." Lizaru said as his staff appeared and a light glowed around Astrid before she vanished. "Now time to rid this world of life but before I do so.." Lizaru turned to face the book before he snapped his fingers and the book burned as Lizaru smirked. "Sorry my dear boys...But I work alone.." Lizaru smirked.
Lizaru simply opened his eyes as he panted slightly before regaining his composure. "It was just that same dream..." he said before noticing the Whispering Death looking at him. "And your here because?" he raised an eyebrow.
"The queen wants to discuss some...personal..matters with you..." the Whispering Death said as Lizaru grabbed his staff and made a motion for the Whispering Death to go. "Lead the way" he said as the two walked off.
-The Forge/Blacksmith Stall-
It was about nighttime when Hiccup and Hicca were currently looking at several drawings of Toothless, Gydo Arrow, Draco Ryder, etc when suddenly they saw Stoick appear at the doorway. "Dad! Your back!" Hiccup asked as Hicca quietly tried to hide the drawings from Stoick. "Gobber's not currently here...so.." Hiccup said.
"I know that. I came looking for you" Stoick stated as Hiccup's eyes widened. "You did?" he asked. "Indeed...you've been keeping secrets..." Stoick stated. "How did he figure it out?!" Hiccup and Hicca thought at the same time.
"Just how long did you think you could hide it from me?" Stoick narrowed his eyes. "Look I don't know what you're.." Hiccup was immediately cut by Stoick's reply, "Nothing happens on this island without me hearing about it.." he said. "So...let's talk about that dragon.." Stoick exclaimed as Hiccup gulped. "Oh gods. Dad I'm so sorry I was going to tell you but I just didn't know-" Stoick started to laugh much to Hiccup and Hicca's confusion.
"Your not upset?" Hiccup questioned as Hicca herself was confused on what was happening. "What?! I was hoping for this!" Stoick said as the two Haddocks were still confused. "And believe me, it only gets better! Just wait til you spill a Nadder's guts for the first time!" Stoick said as Hiccup sighed in relief with Hicca slightly grimacing the thought of seeing the insides of a dragon. "And mount your first Gronckle head on a spear. What a feeling!" Stoick stated laughing as he pats Hiccup on the back with Hicca slightly frowning. "You really had me going there, Hiccup. All those years of the worst Viking Berk has ever seen! Odin it was rough, I almost gave up on you" Stoick exclaimed with Hiccup slightly feeling guiltly for lying to his father.
Stoick noticed Hicca and raised an eyebrow. "So who's she?" he asked. "Oh dad her name is Hicca actually. She ran away from her village because of her parents death and she ended up getting lost and soon found herself crashed onto our sand. I was walking nearby when I saw it and I decided to take her in and even Gobber approved. Besides she's a good bread maker" Hiccup smiled as Stoick began to stroke his beard in thought. "Hm...well if she's living with us...she will officially be apart of this household. Her name shall be Hicca Haddock" Stoick exclaimed as Hicca smiled with Hiccup chuckling. Oh if only Hiccup told Stoick where Hicca REALLY came from. "As I was saying...I also brought you something" Stoick said before pulling a horned helmet to which Hiccup raised an eyebrow as Hicca looked on. "It's to keep you safe in the ring" Stoick exclaimed with Hiccup simply staring at the helmet.
"Wow...thanks..." Hiccup said as he looked it over. "Your mother would've wanted you to have it. It's half of her breast plate" Stoick explained as Hicca tried to hold in a chuckle with a few snickers coming from under the bead. Stoick tapped his own helmet and smiled, "Matching set...keeps her close, y'know?" Stoick explained with Hiccup eyeing the mismatched helmets grimacing in thought. Stoick smiled at Hiccup who forced a yawn to come out. "I should really get to bed" he said.
"Yes! Good! Okay. Good talk. See you back at the house. We should do this again. I'm great!" Thanks for stopping, glad I stopped by. And for the...uh...like the hat, breast hat" they said at the same time with Hicca simply rolling her eyes in annoyance. "Well good night" Stoick said leaving the room as Hiccup sighed before seeing Astrid and Heather roll out the under the bed much to his shock. "We're you two under the bed the entire time!?" he asked as Astrid simply smiled. "Maybe we were or Heather was just trying out a new spell...so things became even more awkward for you and your dad?" Astrid asked as Hiccup nodded. "I've finally made him proud...but now I feel guilty about lying to him.." Hiccup said rubbing his head.
"Well it's not like you have a choice Hiccup. Who knows what he would do if found out...well all of this. Besides...its only a matter of time before the queen sends in her final wave and we have to be prepared!" Heather exclaimed with Hiccup nodding. "Yeah...I guess your right...besides tomorrow is the final day as the elder Gothi will decide who gets to kill their first dragon" Hiccup said.
"Yeah and it's between you and Camicazi" Hicca said as Hiccup gulped. "Oh this is going to go real great from what I'm thinking" Hiccup said sarcastically.
