Anyway thank you all for leaving your reviews here and for all your dms and comments on Instagram. 3 You're the best.

Here's your introduction to what really happened to Prince Henry.

.

.

.

The master of the sea...

.

.

.

Oh boy was he the worst.

He was fearless. He was unbeatable.

He was feared and hated. He was admired and worshiped.

He was the one.

He was the best.

His name?

.

.

Captain Hiccup Haddock

.

.

.

."All hands hoay!" Captain Haddock yelled his orders to his crew.

"AY AY CAPTAIN!" they all replied in synch.

"Batten down the hatches!" his voice reaching even the most distant part of the ship.

"AY AY CAPTAIN!"

The night fury.

The most feared pirate ship of them all. There was no hope for anyone who would come across it.

"Drug your lazy asses! The night fury isn't gonna sail itself!"

Captain Hiccup Haddock.

Also known as the sea master. The most feared pirate in the archipelago. The man who wouldn't be captured by anyone. The man that wasn't afraid of anything. The mad that ruled the seven seas. Sailing on the "night fury". The most well-armoured and well known ship over the lands. He and his crew of pirates were slaying the wild waves of the savage ocean, with not even the strongest storms stopping them from finding the treasures that they desired.

"And why did the King want to see you Captain?" firstmate Fishlegs asked.

"You think Captain will dance the hempen jig?" Tuffnut asked his twin sister and everyone laughed.

"Silence you bilge rats! You don't want to walk the plank now do you?"

Everyone in the crew immediately fell silent and continued their chores.

The night fury's members were the most famous and feared pirates in the archipelago.

But the worse one's were Captain's closest mates.

Tuffnut and Ruffnut. Also known as, the death twins. Explosion experts.

One eyed Snotlout. Inventor of the worst and most dangerous weapons in the world.

Fishlegs the Deathslayer. Knows every single inch of any map in the world. He has memorised every little island and basin. You don't need any map when you have him.

"And don't run any rigs on me! This might be the greatest treasure we've ever stolen!" Captain Haddock shouted and his crew cheered in amusement.

"What is it? Gold? Silver?"

"Is it jewels? Please be jewels!"

"Maybe a new island? All for ourselves?"

"No lads. This one is special." He answered as he turned the steering weel. "And more precious and rare than any of the gold we have ever found."

Everyone pinned their eyes on him in excitement while he reflected his talk with King Stoick a few hours ago.

Flashback: the castle of Berk

"You asked to see me?"

"Yes, please take a seat." King Stoick gestured to a chair for him to sit.

Unsurprisingly, he just kicked the chair away, making a loud sound across the room.

"I guess you don't want to sit down. That's great." the King rubbed his neck nervously.

"So...to what do I owe the pleasure...Dad?" he mockingly laughed. "Oh sorry, I forgot I'm not supposed to be calling you that. You told everyone that I'm dead! Man I hope your guards didn't hear me! How embarrassing would it be for you-"

"Let's not start with this Henry, we're not here to talk about that."

"Don't call me that!" He shouted. "You're the one who wanted Prince Henry dead! At least learn my new name."

"Well I'm trying to but seriously what kind of name is Hiccup Haddock? Seriously couldn't you come up with a normal name? Who is Haddock anyway?"

"It's a fish." Hiccups shrugged in amusement of his father's discomfort.

"Of course it is." The King rubbed his forehead.

He knew his son's love for the sea. Of course he would pick a name inspired by it.

"Anyway this isn't why I called you here. We need your help." he sat up from his throne.

"My help? Are you sure? Because usually you want other things from me like...my head or...to hide me from the rest of the world and stuff like that." Hiccup laughed.

"I never wanted your head son."

"Uh...yeah you did. And I really don't know why you hate me so much. All I ever wished was for you to leave me alone to do what I like."

"I don't hate you son! But what you're doing is not what you're supposed to be doing."

"And what exactly am I supposed to be doing huh? Hiding? Staying in the shadows for the rest of my life because you told everyone that I am dead?"

"You became a freaking pirate for God's sake and you've turned against your own Kingdom!"

"My Kingdom turned against me first when it's stupid laws won't allow me to sail the seas!"

"Your love for the sea cannot get along with what you must do."

"What I should be doing is living my life as I want. But no...you wanted to tell everyone that I died and you won't even tell me why!" Hiccup shouted.

"Son...the reasons why I did this are for me to know."

"You wanted Prince Henry to die. But you cannot accept Captain Haddock either. What do you want from me? Why can you not be satisfied no matter what I do? Why do you want me dead?"

"It's for your own good son! You need to stay hidden for your own safety."

"How does that make any sense? How is telling everyone that I'm dead keeping me safe?"

"You wouldn't understand son."

"Of course I understand. You'd rather have a dead son, than accept me for who I really am."

"It's not like that. You need to stay away from the sea. The ocean...you don't know how bad it can be."

"How can you talk about the ocean when you don't know a thing about it? Have you ever even tried to swim? The ocean is beautiful!"

"The ocean took away your mother!"

"It wasn't the ocean! It was... those creatures."

"Same thing! It's not safe for you!"

"Why won't you just admit that you hate me already?"

"You're a Pirate for God's sake! What would your mother-"

"Don't bring mom into this! Mom would understand! She wouldn't want to hide me! She would accept me!" Hiccup yelled and kicked the chair next to him, breaking it into pieces.

He was losing his temper. He was reminding to his Dad why he had no power over him anymore.

"Son, I told you that the reason why I'm doing this is not what you think."

"I've had enough of your bullshit. Just tell me why you called me here."

"They're back."

There was a pause until Hiccup could realize what he had heard.

"What?"

"Mermaids. They're back."

"I thought they were all gone for good."

"That's what I thought too but for some reason they're back and we need to know what they want."

Those creatures.

He'd heard stories about them. How they drowned men and killed without even caring. How they were the daughters of the devil. How they had no emotions and no heart.

How they took away his own mother.

"Bring me one of them."

King Stoick snapped him out of his thoughts.

"What?"

"I need you to capture a mermaid and bring her to me alive."

"And what if I don't want to help you?"

"Son..."

"No prey, no pay. Sorry." he turned around and started to walk towards the door.

"I'll leave you alone."

Hiccup froze with his hand on the door handle.

"Bring me what I want, and you'll have your freedom. I won't bother you again and you'll be free to sail unbothered from the royal navy."

Hiccup took his time to give it a thought before the King spoke again.

"And no one will never know the truth about who you really are. Or who you were."

"Oh for God's sake is it so horrible to have me as your son? Is it so embarrassing for you to admit to the world that your Prince is a Pirate? You just had to tell everyone that I died. You'd rather have me dead rather than accept me for who I am! Why in the world would I help you?"

The King lowered his head and nodded.

"Because I will stop chasing you. i will stop sending my men after you and you will have what you want. You have my word. Prince Henry will remain dead and no one will know that you became what you are."

This time, it only took a few moments for Hiccup to answered.

"Deal."

~end of flashback ~

"Wow wow! So the King wants us to capture a...a mermaid?" Snotlout let his chin drop on the floor.

"Aye!"

"A real actual mermaid? As in...half human-half fish mermaid?"

"More like half demon - half fish." He answered to his crew. "But have no fear lads! No man has ever beaten the night fury! Those monsters don't stand a chance against us!"

"Aye!" Everyone cheered together.

"We will give no quarter!"

"Aye!"

"They say daughters of the devil? I say they're nothing but smelly fish!"

"Aye!"

"Set our quarters towards the hellheim's gate!"

Everyone started to prepare the ship for , probably the biggest battle of their lives.

Captain Haddock pinned his eyes to the horizon.

"Let's show those beasts who the master of the sea is."

Alright alright...time for some "Pirate terms and phrases" lesson:

*All hands hoay= Everyone on the deck

*Batten down the hatches= A signal to prepare the ship for an upcoming storm

*Dance the hempen jig= To be hanged

*Give no quarter= Show no mercy

*No prey, no pay= A pirate law meaning the crew didn't get paid but took a share of any loot

(Yes. I have done my research thank you very much. Be prepared for a lot of pirate language in the upcoming chapters. I will have them explained at the end of every chapter of course.)
