The Flames of Destiny

by Hairydufflebag

'I'm Here' Rewrite! (Corny Title, I know) Hiccup disappears after a battle against the Red/Green Death, but little do you know he's still alive and 'better' than ever. With a new threat arising, will Hiccup have to come back home and involve Berk in this world-shattering fight. I don't own HTTYD or any of the characters except my own! Happy reading.

1. Chapter 1

Prologue

The black dragon worriedly dove towards his rider in a panic as he was plummeting towards the ground, covered by an inferno of molten dragon skin. Viking onlookers gazed in horror of the events unfolding, among them stood the rider's father fearing the worst, first his wife now his son. The flames raged as the rider fell into the mouth and was consumed by the maelstrom of destruction, followed by his black dragon.

"Hiccup!" cried a young female voice, the flames engulfed the far edge of the beach, trapping the boy and his dragon inside it's searing torrent. Despair descended upon the throngs of vikings, still in disbelief of what transpired before their eyes. A nebula of smoke and ash swept across the beach toward the vikings cloaking their bodies in it's heavy cloud. Through the smog the distorted masses hung their heads low, finally allowing the fear to settle, he was gone. One lone towering figure held his head up, scanning the edge of the beach with soot-filled unflinching eyes, a father's hope.

As the fire dissipated, the smoke clearing away, there were no signs of Hiccup anywhere. Only the charred remains of the Red Death were in place, no black dragon, no boy. Low whispers and sobs of grief began to swell amidst the vikings while others stood frozen in shock unable to move. Astrid, now kneeling on the beach with fists clenched firmly in the sand wept silently to herself, fighting to hold back tears. Stoick stood there still in shock, staring towards nothing as he walked forward cupping his hands around his mouth and shouted the only thing that was on his mind now.

"Hiccup!" His voice was shaky as it was loud, he shouldn't appear weak in front of the other vikings. He can't cry, "Hiccup! Where are ye son!?" he kept shouting, but nothing. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III is gone.

I'm back everyone! Oh golly has it been a while, so welcome to the rewrite of "I'm Here", I'm planning on making some changes to this whole thing. I'd like to thank everyone who actually did read the first fiction, this will be almost identical to the previous story but added more things, and killed off many characters (Oh how I loved getting rid of those jerks.)

Anyways, yeah, enjoy. Chapter 1 will be up on Sunday or Monday. Happy reading!
