This Is It For Me Here
Chapter Three
I Own Nothing
Stoick the Vast had just watched his son only being carried away, all because of that beast that snatched him away, right in front of his own eyes. The last thing he had of Valka had been taken from him, his only family left was long gone and was never coming back. He didn't want to except the fact that his son was dead. Stoick was still clinging on hope that he was some how still alive. But he knew that was impossible, he knew Hiccup was already eaten alive by now, or worse burnt to a crisp and then devoured by the Night Fury.
The chief was still kneeling on the edge of the cliff, hanging his head in shame. He had failed to protect his only child, the last living thing he had to live for in this mad world, but now it was gone, Hiccup was gone forever. Stoick thought he wouldn't have to relive this pain again, after his wife was taken, he did his very best to keep Hiccup out of danger, always putting him in the forge or in the house. Just trying to do anything to keep his son out of danger. But Hiccup was young and restless, always trying to act like his father, to be a warrior.
But Hiccup was far from it, he would always call himself a 'walking fish bone' because of his small frame and skinny stick like arms, he had no muscle what so ever. He pretty much had the same built as his mother, he had her voice, her eyes hell even her laugh. Every time he would look at his son he would see her, but it was all too much for the chief to bare, that's why he kept distance from him, Stoick didn't want to relive any of the memories he had with Valka. He wanted to forget and move on, but his son was just a constant reminder of his wife.
He remembered when Hiccup was just a small babe, so small and frail. Hoping and praying he would make it through the brutal winter that year, his mother fear the worse for him, doubting he wold survive. But he didn't give up hope, Hiccup was a survivor and had his mother stubbornness. It was hard to keep him alive, but he made it. Ever since Val died, it was just Stoick trying his best to play father and chief, Stoick didn't have enough time for his son, raising him when he should have. The only person that did all the parenting was Gobber.
"Stoick." Gobber came up behind him, placing a hand on his shoulder for rest of the villagers had fought off of what was left of the raid, looking at there broken down ruler.
"He...he's gone Gobber." he said shakily, looking over at the sun rising up slowly."He's just..." he choked out, trying to hold back the emotions building up inside him after he witness his son's abduction."Why?...why did this happen?" He looked over to his best friend, wondering why such a thing happened...again. His heart was aching as if someone had just stabbed him through the chest with a dagger. It was a wound that was never going to heal.
The blacksmith shook his head."I'm sorry Stoick." He could feel the pain in his voice to, he loved Hiccup as his own son."I'm so sorry, no parent should go through what you're going through right now."
I shook my head and buried my face with my hands, running them along my face, feeling nothing but shame and regret. My son is dead and I had to watch the entire thing happen to me, I lost Val fifteen years ago, and now fifteen years later it happen to our son. The last living thing I had of her, I promised her I would keep him safe, but now I failed, I failed them both. My entire world has been taken from me, from a blink of an eye. It all happened so fast, Hiccup just stood there as if it was nothing, no fear in his eyes just...calmness.
What if this was planned? No that was insane. This is my son I'm talking about, he wouldn't leave or plan something so insane like this.
I slowly picked myself up."How am I going to get through this?" Looking up at the sun rising before me,covering the island in the bright light. Gobber placed his hand further up on my shoulder, giving it a tighter squeeze.
"Were here for you Stoick, were going to help you get through this." I could feel the sorrow in his voice, I turned over and saw the other villagers standing there, having a similar expression I had. Full of pain and regret, they new they never treated Hiccup well over the years, none of them treated him with dignity he deserved. Yes Hiccup has done some stupid things over the years, but he never deserved to feel like a outcast.
"How?" I asked him, feeling anger taking over me."Over the last fifteen years I still haven't gotten over Val, and now..." I clenched my fist."And now Hiccup is dead." I said bitterly."My only child is dead and I have nothing."
Gobber looked down at the ground and sighed heavily"I'm sorry Stoick, all I want to do is try to help you." I knew what he meant, but I was far to in to my anger and bitterness to see what was happening. I didn't want any emotion help, I wanted that night fury dead. I wanted justice for my son, I need to feel some retribution for the hell I have endured.
But what am I really supposed to do? Go on some wild quest to find the last Night Fury and kill it? That could take years for me to find, and winter is almost here and we barely have enough to survive this year. I have to stay here and protect the village, it would be what Hiccup wanted. He wouldn't want the village to suffer, right? I had to do something, something to get my mind off of all this.
I turned and started to walk back to the village, Gobber walking right beside me."What are you going?"
I looked at him bitterly."There is nothing I can do now Gobber, the village needs me and that's it." I walked away from him, hold my hammer tightly it was still soak in blood from the earlier fight. Some of the villagers stared at me with grief, whispering things, then they started coming up to me, telling me they were sorry for my loss. I wonder if half of them even mean it, I wanted to believe them, but no one understands the pain I am enduring right now. My world has just gotten more darker, no light, just nothing but darkness.
Nothing is going to be the same without Hiccup.
Mean While...
The sun was already up and high in the sky, the clouds were light and airy as were flied right through them. The ocean was calm and the salty air filled up my nose, feeling and tasting my new found freedom. I felt like I was on top of the world and nothing could stop us in our tracks. I grabbed the map I had from my bag, pulling it out and see where we could stay for the next for days.
I knew where we were going, I just wanted to know how long we would stay before we left to our next destination. I just hope we don't run into any outcast or pirates, but I doubt that, they couldn't catch us, not with Toothless speed or his plasma blast to protect us. I didn't need to worry about his tail anymore, I already fixed that for him, so just in case something bad dose happen o me he'll be able to fly without me. I didn't want to be selfish and keep him bounded to the ground like a dog.
I always felt bad for shooting down Toothless, then again we would have never met if I did. He was my only friend, he never judged me or hurt well not on purpose at least. Sure we like to rough house and beat each other up, and when I mean that I mean Toothless will just sit on me until I scream truce. But the most fun we have is flying until the sun goes down, even when it turns night we still fly.
I don't know who I would be if I didn't meet Toothless, I would have still been trying to be the perfect dragon killer. I would been trying to be someone I'm not, just lying to myself and just trying to impress my dad. But for the last couple of years I just wasted them, I was being bullied and picked on by the other teens, making things worse for me. I tried to fit in, to be like them, but I don't want that anymore, I realized that I don't humans for friends.
I just want to be surrounded by dragons, to be with them, to act like them. Just to be one with them. But I was happy now to be different from the crowd, I'm not one of them. I was never one of them, and I would never be a viking.
Suddenly I felt a drastic change in the atmosphere, we were instantly surrounded by other dragons, I jumped at the sight of them coming closer to us, some were carrying a fresh kill with in their claws, blood and organs were exposed, filling the air with the dead animals. I guess some of those sheep were from Berk, the ones I saw during the raid, during my abduction. They were going in the same direction as we were, until Toothless suddenly made a turn, going along with the horde of dragons.
"Toothless." I whispered quietly, trying my best not to draw attention."What's going on?" I wanted to know where we were going, where are these dragons taking us. Then a large molt of rock came into view, it was nothing but an island of molted dark rock, a large crack on the top was open as the dragons flooded in like a river, Toothless landed on the side of the wall as we watched the beast drop in the kills to the pit.
They weren't eating none of it, just dropping it all in. I arched a brow, why take all of those sheep and not eat any of it? What was the point? So over the last five hundred years our food has been dropped down a hole?
"Why aren't they eating any of it?" I asked Toothless as he moaned back to me, I guess he wasn't so sure either. I'm not surprised because he never steals anything or dose any of the killings, he just like to set stuff up in flames ans just blows things up into smithereens. Mostly catapults and other war weapons that could hurt him.
Suddenly the ground started to to shake as if there was an earthquake, but out of the fire and smoke a large red dragon appeared out of the pit. It was a large beast, it's skin was blood red, it's teeth were like razors , it had multiple eyes as it feed on the animal corpses, those eyes were dark, they didn't reflect on anything. I watched this monster feed for a few moments, until it caught our scent and roared out.
I jumped forward,"Time to get out of here bud." I didn't need to tell him twice as we both took off like bats straight out of hell. We took off and manged to make it out of the cave as other dragons left as well.
It all make scene now, that dragon has been controlling them this entire time, that's why all the raids have been happening, that's what's been going on. This has to end, I can't let this dragon queen continue to make others lives miserable, I know Berk isn't the only village suffering from the raids. This demon has to be killed, she's controlling and taking over dragons lives, not letting them be free.
"Alright Toothless, new plan." I said as we made it to a small island. So many things have crossed my mind, going over of what we should do, we decided to rest for the night. Finding one of our small islands on the map we could stay at for the night. I jumped off the saddles and laid out the map, taking out a stick from the ground and started drawing in the sand.
Toothless perk up his ears as he walked over beside me, wondering what the hell I was thinking.
"Believe me, I know it sounds crazy." I closed my map and looked up into his neon green eyes."But it will work."
