The exiled hero

"Talk"

'Thought'

Dear diary,

Today the other tried to drown me, but unlike other times Astrid was helping them, she had a demonic smile on her face as she held my head under water as the other teens held the rest of me down. Then when Stoick arrived they left and I was punished for being in the water when he told me not to leave the forge. I did not want to leave my only safe place on the island but Snotlout and the twins dragged me out of there to the beach just outside the docks. Today was my 16th birthday and I almost drowned, happy birthday to me. I am going to see Toothless and to be honest I am going to leave this island for ever, and never return.

Hiccup.

The boy in question, Hiccup, closed his journal and hid it under his bed. He then left by his window using the fake and ugly spikes on the side of the building to get down on to the ground. He then ran into the forest before anyone could spot him.

It did not take him long to make it to the cove where his best friend was staying. Yes, his best friend was a dragon, a night fury no less. He jumped down a few rocks, and made it to the inside of the cove. Almost instantly a giant black blur jumped onto him and licked the living hell out of him, surprisingly hiccup laughed and let the dragon do its thing. After he was done hiccup got up off the floor and gave the dragon a small starch under the chin, and a low purr could be heard. "Hey bud" said hiccup as the dragon buried its face into his chest.

After a bit more affection hiccup mode changed and he said "I just can't stay here bud, I need to leave, and I just can't take it anymore". The dragon gave a reassuring purr. And that action bought a smile to hiccup.

Later on that day, hiccup was hurrying to get all the items he needed for his travels, when Stoick arrived in the house. Hiccup froze as he heard the door open and close. "Hiccup" shouted his father in a very angry voice only used against dragons. Hiccup realizing he had no choice walked slowly downstairs, there he saw his father standing there with Spitelout and Gobber. Stoick looked murderous, Spitelout was smirking, very happy about something, and Gobber, he was looking at him sadly. "Come here boy" said Spitelout angrily grabbing hiccup by his collard and pulling him out of the house to the great hall followed by his father and Gobber, all while hiccup kept falling over trying to keep the man's pace.

As hiccup stumbled into the great hall, he felt his uncle's grip loosen. He looked around and saw he was in very deep trouble; the hall was set up as a court room. Vikings of Berk sat all around him, his father, uncle, mentor and the elder of the village where seated in front of him on a raised platform. "Hiccup Haddock the 3rd you are here for the assault of future Viking star Astrid Hofferson. Do you deny such accusations?" Stoick said in an authoritated voice. 'Well played Astrid but I am leaving with a village in chaos' thought Hiccup. "No. I do not but let me tell you this. Did anyone check the raid charts tonight?" said the boy. Confused looks went around until Fishlegs shouted" he is right there is a raid tonight" the moment he finished speaking the walls of the hall shook, signalling a raid. Hiccup completely forgotten the Viking ran outside weapons in hand. Hiccup chuckled and walked out of the hall.

"Well let's go bud" said hiccup already dressed in riding gear, as he jumped on his saddle. The Night Fury flared its powerful wing and jumped into air as the 2 friends left berk for ever. Little did they know of the deapgripper just above them watching their every move. Just as the duo was a little dot in the sky in started spinning until it had the shape of a man, it then said to no one "they are moving, the plan is moving along perfectly, soon son of Odin you will die and the 9 realms will crumble by the hand my master" he finished Darkly as he vanished into thin air.

9 realms away and millions of rôsts (A.N a rôst is about a mile) away a very old man opened his eyes for the first time in centuries and whispered " Atli be safe son of Odin" said the man as he got up slowly and headed out the room he was in.

Hiccup and toothless where gliding throw the air just above cloud level, making sure not to be seen by ships. Hiccup having been very enthusiastic for the first hour had soon found out that flying strait for long distances was just plain boring for 7 hours strait. Just as they flew over a patch of cloudless sky, 5 bolas appeared out of nowhere, wrapping themselves around hiccup and toothless and sending then plummeting towards the ground. Toothless roared and hiccup screamed, as they crashed into the sea below. Moments later a net wrapped around them and they were pulled out of the water onto a deck of a boat. «Tell Viggo that we got a rider. Now" a voice shouted, Hiccup started falling unconscious and toothless groaned, they heard laughter from the men on the ship.

A tall, but strong looking man, perfectly dressed and who had a ruby encrusted sword on his back put his hands together behind his back and said" look them up, we will sell the dragon and torture the rider for information". Before turning away with a confident smirk on his face. The men quickly got to work with their orders.
