Hello to whoever will read this. I just finished some research about the Viking Mythology and watched (for like the fourth time) the Vikings series on History. Anyway here is chapter 3 of my "amazing" story hope you like it."Oh Odin please have mercy on me, please. Please make my father listen to me"Hiccup prayed while running through the woods. Suddenly he tripped and fell down, he looked back to see what made him trip and saw a root sticking out from the ground."Of course"he remarked "why must I be so Useless? I can't even run without falling down"he sighted.He continued to laying down deep in thought when he heard wings flapping and a cry. He looked up to a tree and saw something that made him sure that someone up there was watching him.
Meanwhile across the island, in the far end of the village where the forest started, there was a small hut, inside an old man, who had seen the rise and fall of many chiefs and who could ask the Gods for the fate of men,was laughing. He laughed because he could see the outcome of this conversation. When he stopped he simple stated "Let's see if the little raven can actually defeat the bear and fly or just burn to fire"
At the same time, inside the Great Hall, Astrid was with her peers tacking about Hiccup what else. "So you guys what do you think made Hiccup so good at dragon training?" asked Fishlegs. "Who?"asked Tuffnut before he got punched in the face by his twin. "I believe he is training with someone. He can't just get good out of nowhere"stated Astrid ignoring Tuffnut and answering the question. "You absolutely right Astrid, how couldn't i see it, you are so smart and beautiful"said Snotlout trying to flert with her. "Ugh"she simple said. "Yeah ok but who? could it be Gobber?"asked Fishlegs again. "No doubt it he wouldn't train only him even if he had the time"answered Astrid. "Maybe Gothi?" Ruffnut asked now making it obvious that she isn't smarter than her brother. "Think Ruffnut what does Gothi knows about dragon training."Fishlegs said to her. "Hey you never know what that mute old fossil knows"she tried to defend herself. "Oh shut up Ruff, you are just angry at her that she chose me and Hiccup as the two best students and you couldn't create chaos at the Ring"Astrid remarked. "What about my dad?" "Snotlout you shut up too! Why would your father train Hiccup? He hates him, he thinks you should be the heir not Hiccup." "I know, i don't know why I said that, pft you are so right Astrid." "I GOT IT !!" "Tuffnut what the hell you scared the death out of me"Snotlout said. "Fear not dear friends, because I, Tuffnut Thorston, have solve this ''unsooolllvvvaable" mystery"he said while moving his fingers. "Are you ready for the reveal of the truth?" they all nodded.
"The person who trained Hiccup, is not a person it is in fact a...DRAGON!!!"they all facepalmed. "Tuffnut..." "Bro..." "That's just plain stupid even for your level Tuff.."they sighted. "No no no listen to me. Think about it no person would even think ro train him, so i believe that he befriended a dragon and while playing with him he learned their secrets, who knows maybe he even flew with that dragon. Maybe the dragon is hurt and only with the help of Hiccup the dragon can fly"the others were speechless. "Tuffnut that's impossible because non has ever tried to train a dragon and quite frankly why would they? That's even more stupid than your hypothesis"Astrid said. "Myyy what now??" "nothing"she sighted.
It was now that she noticed her surroundings. Most of Berk's vikings were already drunk and they were either singing or dancing or they just passed out. She eyed the chief sitting in his "throne" basically a chair but with many different decorations in the arm and the back. He was sitting in the middle of the table with his trusted advisors and friends, one of whom was their teacher Gobber. The man was practically a brother to Stoick and an uncle and mentor to Hiccup since from the age of five Hiccup was working under Gobber as a blacksmith apprentice. There Hiccup learned how to create weapons and shields but he also learned how to make his drawings of complicated machineries into actual "working" inventions. 'Come to think of it doesn't Hiccup own a notebook? Maybe the identity of his trainer is in there. How can i get it without him knowing?'Astrid thought. " Wait! all this time we talk about Hiccup, but where is he?" Ruffnut asked. 'Yeah, where is Hiccup?'Astrid thought 'Maybe h-' She lost her train of thoughts when the door of the Hall bursted open and a man yelled "DRAGON RAID!!!!".
Everyone grabbed the nearest weapon, even those who were drunk in the sound of a raid they got up and rushed to the village.
Astrid reached for her axe. It was her favourite axe, her uncle Finn gave it for her fifth birthday. She adored that weapon, every time she gave it to Gobber to sharpen it she always felt naked, until he returned it and she could see that the village's blacksmith had done a magnificent job on it.
The moment she opened the doors and she adjusted to the now new light, she could see only one thing. Chaos. Buildings burning. Children sobbing and mothers crying. Men and women who could fight running around the village protecting the undefended. All over the village dragons flying, breathing fire and fighting vikings.
From all the noise she didn't hear Gobber yelling her name and calling her to help for putting out the fires that were now dangerously increasing. She snapped out when Ruffnut pulled her out of the way of a falling pillar. "Come on girl don't space out now we have a job to do, come on"she said while holding Astrid's arm and leading her to the others. From far away she could make out the figure of the chief fighting bare handed a red Monstrous Nightmare.
'He is crazy their teeth can cut an arm off, their claws can break stones and their horns...oh i don't want to get impaled by those.. and yet the Chief is fighting it without fear. If i want to a be shield maiden then i must also fight fearlessly. Like you uncle...' she thought and then she said to the teens "come on we can't let the old men take away our glory. We were trained for this, it doesn't matter if you were the worst or the best. We are vikings fighting, drinking and being in danger is an occupational hazard for us so let's do this!! Aaaahhhh!!!!"she yelled while running. "And you call me stupid"Tuffnut remarked "but hey she is NOT wrong sooo... Let's get ourselves scars, bruises and some DRAGONS!!"he continued.
Stoick saw them jumping into action and wandered where was his son. True they didn't have the perfect father-son relationship but now that Hiccup was considered the best at dragon training, they might be able to make this work... somehow. He actually wad proud for his son, he feared that Hiccup would stay the same, a scrubby little boy, who always seemed to live in his own world up into the clouds and have no connection to reality and her hardships. But Thor didn't abandoned him, he changed Hiccup and now he could show his face in public areas again without villagers stopping him and telling him about Hiccup "newest" invation and it's consequences on the village.'You are a though one. Aren't you?' the dragon tried to fire at him but alas he was muzzled by Spitelout, Snotlout's dad,Berk's second in command and Stoick brother-in-law. "Thanks Spitelout"he simple said "What do we got?How many wounded?How many dead?And where is Hiccup?"he quickly asked knowing that his friend could give him a report. "We have Nadders,Gronckles, Zipplebacks and Nightmares."Spitelout answered securing the muzzle in the dragon's head. "Night Furies?"the chief asked "no haven't heard anything. As for the wounded, we have close to fifty and zero dead, for now"Spitelout answer once again. "What about Hiccup?"his father asked,"well... we don't know"Spitelout admitted. "What!,were is-" "DAD!" a voice interrupted him.
"Hiccup where were you? Doesn't matter now is your chance to shine in the eyes of the Gods. Kill the dragon"Stoick ordered. "Dad i didn't come to kill the dragon i came to show you that peace between us is doable." "What are saying son YOU are the champion of the dragon training, You Will kill the dragon." "No, i won't. Let the dragon go. Let me show you what amazing creatures dragons, really are."Hiccup siad while moving his hand in the dragon's mouth and freeing him from the muzzle. "Ssh it's ok I'm not one of them you can trust me, i won't hurt you." The people started walking closer to the young heir to watch. Everyone thought he was crazy, even his peers were speechless all except one "Called it!!"Tuffnut said. Stoick was frozen his son was trying to tame a dragon. TAME HIM! He was furious he started walking to his son with narrowed eyes. "HICCUP YOU KILL THAT DRAGON RIGHT NOW OR ELSE THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES!"He yelled, the dragon that had already started to calm down became once again a feral beast. It got free and began to destroy anything in it's path. It startled the vikings, who were capturing the other dragons and as a result all the dragons were now free to continue their mission but alas the didn't. They just flew up to the orange lighted night sky. Hiccup was watching them leave when he was pinned down by someone. "You are in big trouble now boy" the figure said.
Ok so that was chapter 3. If you think that it was geat,do nothing. If you think it was perfect, also do nothing. Now if you think it needs work please tell me. Next chapter will have one of the most emotional scene in the movie and the breaking point for Hiccup. Thank you for reading
