In the forest outside of Berk at night, a slightly muscular man is walking through the place alongside a 7 years old boy who is looking around the place with curious eyes to take the details of the place.
"Son, you need to take it easy in walking around the forest." The man said to the boy, who is now ahead of him as he takes his moment to breathe and look at the trees and all. "You might get lost, wandering around the area on your on."
"Sorry, dad. This place has so many things to imagine!" The boy exclaimed as he looks at his father with a grin before looking forward to continue on their walk.
The man shakes his head with an amused look on his face as he sighs out. 'Time like this, he has the curiosity of the wild.' He thought as the two people ventures in the forest.
The Gaverson clan spend their time in the forest like any other due to what kind of places they could see to go on a picnic and whatnot in some occasions. Some Vikings spend their time at the Great Hall to have their talks, telling stories and all that stuff but this family? They sometimes explore it to discover or mark the land so anyone will know the forest like the back of their hand. Some might think they are crazy in going further in the forest because wild animals might be wandering around at times, even dragons. Dragons… they say that they are nothing but a mindless beast who would go for the kill and all, that's what they described.
The slightly muscular man is named Kron Gaverson. He is known to be quite the fighter among the Vikings in Berk and everyone say that he could defeat his opponent with or without a weapon. He uses a sword or a spear in battle and no Vikings has ever use a spear in their life since they always prefer to use an axe, mace, hammer and a sword. Not only that, this man can take down a dragon as he will not back down from a challenge and protect the other people during the Dragon Raids in the village. Kron wears a brown sleeveless tunic with a fur vest, dark green pants and a Viking boots. He also has a dark brown hair and a mustache & beard on his face.
His wife, who is absent from their stroll due to taking care of their 4-year daughter named Liz Gaverson and is staying at home with her friends visiting her, is named Lana Gaverson. She is such a sweetheart and quite the beauty among the women in Berk as she is also a good cook in the Great Hall. Some males are really jealous as Lana is married to Kron and all that. Although, a sweetheart she may be but she is also fierce fighter and is known to making traps in the forest to catch boars or any wild animals for resources and food. People calls her 'Lana the Trapper' due to her skills in making traps.
Lastly, is their 7-years old son named Marvo Gaverson. Quite the adventurous one he is, wanting to know what everything is like as any other children in Berk. This might become his hobby when he grows up but his parents will teach him about the dangers and what needs to be taught so he wouldn't get hurt. He has a brownish orange hair and is wearing a dirty white tunic, green pants and a Viking shoes. He also has a bag strapped over his shoulder filled with notebooks and charcoal pen for drawings and all.
Some of his relatives live somewhere in the Archipelago and knowing them, they will keep in touch.
"Alright, this is the place." Kron said as he looks around the clearings they are in as he takes a sit on a rock before pulling out a spear from his back strap and looks at the tip to check the sharpness. "After this, we will head back to the village."
Marvo nods at his father's words as he takes in the details of where they are before sitting down on a grass and takes out his notebook and pen to sketch/scribble.
Things in the clearing is peaceful at night as this is where Kron and Lana always go for a picnic and such. It also brings good memories of their time together from friends, lovers and to where they are now so he and she brings him and Liz here from time to time.
As Marvo draws or scribble what any thoughts in mind and his surroundings, he looks up from his notebook to see something in the trees like… it is moving somewhere. It could be an animal as the size of the figure seems small so his curiosity kicks in as he closes his notebook and stood up from his position, walking towards the trees to check what it is.
Kron looks up from checking his spear to notice his son heading towards the trees as he speaks up. "Marvo, where are you going?"
Marvo stopped in his tracks as he looks at his father over his shoulder. "I thought I saw something. I want to check it out." He answers as he looks back at the trees to see where it goes.
"Alright, don't wander off too far, son. Just stay near here." Kron looks back at his spear as he picks up a rock then starts to sharpen it.
"I will!" With that said, Marvo heads into the trees and run to where he spots the creature running off to.
Marvo didn't stray far from the clearings his family goes to as he sees a pond and flower bushes as he looks around to see where the figure has headed but it seem that he lost it. Letting out a sigh at this, he slides his hand through his wild-ish hair and looks at the pond and lets out a hum.
"Drats, I guess it's just my imagination…" The 7-years old mutters out as he kneels at the edge to look at his reflection in the water and tilt his head from side to side to check himself out.
Moments later, a high pitch purr reaches his ear as Marvo tense at the noise from his left side and slowly turn his face to look at the source to see… a dragon. A baby dragon no less. He lets out a yelp as he jumps and fall on his bum as he crawls back, which causes the hatchling to copy his gesture and movement as they back themselves to a few distance. Marvo pants a little as he stares at the baby dragon before him in awe and fear.
'Ohhh… Odin… it's a dragon… a baby dragon…' The boy thought as he looks at the hatchling before him. The hatchling has a white scale, a claws and wings with light blue eyes. It also has a tailfin at the end of the tail and a two stubby… thing at the end side of its head. Squinting his eyes, Marvo would notice a light-ish blue crescent moon marking on its head. 'I really encountered… a dragon…'
He and the white baby dragon stares at one another for a long while before they notice that they have the same reaction as Marvo calms down as well as the hatchling as it tilts its head curiously with a chirp. Marvo did the same as with a furrowed brow and the side of his lip twitch into a smile. 'It's really… curious…'
Seeing that they are not going to hurt each other, Marvo crouch and slowly moves toward the white dragon as said dragon sees this as it backs away a little when the human is nearing it. He notices this as he stopped and sit on his knee before putting his bag away, observing the young dragon hatchling, which it relaxes a little and just stay where it was. After a few moments, the hatchling slowly moves towards him as its eyes flickered from slit to narrow like how a cat as its curiosity peaks in about this human and the 7-years old couldn't help but smile as looking at its eyes, he felt… some sort of connection or some sort. He slowly raises his hand toward it as the white dragon looks at it for a moment before sniffing his palm, making him smile a bit more.
Before it could go on, a loud thud comes from the tree as the Marvo pull his hand back and looks up… to see an adult dragon with the same white color and appearance as the hatchling before him! It lets out a growl as its eyed the human who would touch its hatchling as the boy tenses from this as his heart is beating fast and shudders in fear.
The adult dragon crawls down from the tree it is on as it made its way towards them as Marvo couldn't help but crawl back from the approaching dragon while the hatchling chirps at the adult as said dragon looks at it as the dragon lick the hatchling's head.
'Ohhh Odin, help me…' Soon, his back hits the tree behind him as the adult white dragon looks at him again as it slowly walks towards him. He couldn't be any more afraid as he is right now as he heard from a Viking that dragons always go for the kill and right now… he wishes he just stayed with his father and never let his curiosity get the better of him but nope! That is just his traits.
Once the adult white dragon is now getting closer, Marvo grit his teeth as his body shakes at such gaze coming from it. "P… P-lease… d-don't kill me…" He whimpers out as he stares into the dragon's blue eyes as it narrows a little in… wary and curiosity? It then leans its head towards the boy as he froze, thinking that he is going to become dinner… or worse but it sniffs him a little… before it lets out a soft croon. This made Marvo looks at the adult white dragon as the hatchling sits by the its side. Fear starts to slowly leave him as he observes the dragon a bit closely as it has a slender form and its quite… a beauty to behold and from what he can tell… it's a mother since the hatchling is with it… or her.
"Whoa…" That is until the mother white dragon's… stubby-like ears perk up as she looks up at the sky and around before her eyes turn to slit as she spread her wings then grabs her hatchling with its mouth, putting the young white dragon on her back before looking at Marvo one more time before taking off into the sky as the boy watches her fly away and to his awe, the white dragon shot a plasma blast in front then flew through it as they… disappeared?
"What… in the world...?" He couldn't believe his eyes from the sight that he has ever seen in his entire life. Not only that, he always thought the Viking in the village said that the dragons go for the kill but… this one didn't and just leave him be.
"Marvo!" His father's voice called him as the boy looks at the direction to see Kron running towards him with a spear in hand. Seeing his son, the man goes to him and drops on one knee. "Son, are you alright?" He asked in concern before looking up at the sky to see if the dragon is around. Kron must've seen the dragon when it flew away from the spot where his son is and it brings worry at that so here, he is, seeing that his son is not hurt.
"I'm… a-alright, dad…" Marvo answers shakily as he slumps back against the tree from such experience he has got into and relaxes now that it's all over.
"I'm glad you are alright, son…" Kron then pulls the boy towards him in a hug, which his son returns it with his own and comforts himself in his embrace. After comforting him, the father stood up with Marvo in his arms before walking towards the bag then picks it up and his spear is strapped behind his back. "Let's head home, we have enough sightseeing or relaxing from now on."
The 7-years old just nodded as he rests his chin on his father's shoulder as the two walks away and headed home to Berk.
From this day on, his view on the dragons… have changed.
First story for the HTTYD Universe and the next part will be the start of the first film with my OC's in it. Hope you enjoy the introduction and all so review what you think on this. Updates will be a little slow so bear with me and if I made some mistake in some sentences, let me know in the review.
Also, care to guess what kind of dragon did Marvo encounter?
