A/N: This is the last of the chapters made by Wandering Wraith. I didn't do that many changes to it except the part where Berk would resort into raiding to get rescorces if Agnarr didn't respond to his letters. Also the fact that Merida was introduced into the story with her being interested in Hiccup since it didn't make sense. After all, her whole movie is about her not wanna get married in the first place and change her mothers mind. This also marks the end of the first movie of Httyd storyline as I'm having the Berkians meet Hiccup as an adult to bring in the story of the second one as well Frozen.
Many stories write that Hiccup and Elsa are 18 years old by the time of Elsa's coronation, however, in the movie Elsa is 21 years old and Anna 18. As in Norway, Finland and Sweden have the unspoken rule that you're not allowed to marry or other things until you're 18 of age, especially in the past. And most royalty under this time of age must be an adult in order to be crowed king or queen of a country. Frozen is based on Norwaian culture and tradtions as well H.C Anderson's story of the Snow Queen, they shouldn't be mixed up with other tradtions or myths but facts from history as a whole despite it being made in America.
I will also not include Httyd 3 and Frozen 2 in this fic except their outfits since they will not fit in with the storyline at all.

"Dragons Speaking"
The death of Hiccup. One of the happiest days on Berk. The celebration for the death of Hiccup had been glorious. Mead flowed like water and the whole village showed up with the exception of Gobber and Gothi. Surprisingly Astrid was bitter about the whole thing but everyone chalked it up to losing to a dead boy. Fishlegs was very distant during the party and never truly smiled. Stoick celebrated like it was the return of his late wife Valka despite the hole in his chest from his only son.
The entire atmosphere changed suddenly when the dragons attacked. They attacked viciously and savagely completely ignoring the food and only going for the people. The thing people found weird is that Gobber and Gothi were spared. The dragons completely ignored them and even left his blacksmith stall in one piece. Everyone then knew the reason… Hiccup.
It seemed the dragons knew about his abilities (The vikings didn't though) and were appalled by the way they treated him. To them, he was an honorary hatchling. The amount of anger they held was enough to overcome the Queen's influence and allowed them to break free of her control for a small time. The dragons always knew of the boy's powers so they tried to not harm him but he made it difficult with his inventions.
Many lives were lost during that raid… but that was only the beginning. The raids began to get worse and worse. More people were dying from both the raids and the lack of food and Stoick was forced to seek alliances outside of the archipelago. He had managed to convince some of the other tribes for help but Johan informed him of Arendelle, a big kingdom with many resources. Stoick had started to send letters to the king but for some strange reason he refused any contact with Berk. Stoick was appalled by the bluntness of their hate to them but still continually sent letters to them, hoping to get a response...
Agnarr was becoming increasingly frustrated. Stoick was not letting the alliance drop. If he thought he was going to trade with a man who hated his own son, he had another thing coming. He did, however, send a letter to their allies to warn them about Stoick and how he's not as good as he seems.
The King of Arendelle was walking through the hallways of the castle towards his study to see if he got a letter from the other dignitaries to request a meeting to discuss the Hooligan Tribe, he was lost in thoughts when Hiccup accidentally bumped into him. The young prince trips on the carpet, dropping a small box in the process, and was about to hit the floor but suddenly stopped. Hiccup was confused before he looked up to see Agnarr holding his arms.
"Easy there, son." The father chuckled as he helped Hiccup back on his feet. "Haven't Gerda complained enough about running in the hallways like that with Anna."
"I'm so sorry, Agnarr." Hiccup apologized as he picked up the box from the floor. "I was trying to get to my room to hide a gift for Elsa. I want it to be a surprise."
"Isn't that box a bit too big to hold a ring, you've only courted for a few months." Agnarr teased a bit, knowing that the two magic users were endlessly in love with each other. Hiccup blushed red at the statement.
"I-It's not an e-engagement gift!" Hiccup exclaimed in panic. "It's just a charm bracelet I made for her. It's made of Gronckle Iron since it has strong resistance to both the heat and the cold, so it can withstand Elsa's magic."
"You're a fascinating young man." Agnarr chuckled, "How about some tea in my study while you wait for Elsa to finish her lessons?"
"That'll be an honor, your highness." The former viking replied formerly like he was taught before the two walked together towards the King's study.
Once arriving, a maid came in with a tray of tea for them. They talked about many different subjects related to Arendelle and Hiccup's tutoring lessons, Agnarr was very impressed when he heard Hiccup learned pretty quickly and sometimes would let Hiccup join him in meetings and his royal duties. Agnarr knew that the young prince in front of him was born to be a leader.
"Hiccup." Agnarr addressed the fire user, who was sipping his tea. "There's something I need to show you."
"What is it?" Hiccup asked as Agnarr opened a drawer of his desk, taking out one of the many scroll like letters in it and gave it to Hiccup. The former Viking looked at it confused before turning it around to see the familiar sigal on the front, his eyes widen in panic as he stood up. "This is Stoick's sigal!" Hiccup walked over to the fireplace in the room to read the contents nervously. "N-No, no, no, no. If they come here, then they'll find out what I've been doing, they'll find out about Toothless and me lying to them! They'll kill both of us a-and proclaim war on you guys-!"
"Hiccup!" The auburn haired teen looked fearfully at Agnarr, who had placed a hand on his shoulder when he wasn't looking, with the letter having scorch marks from where Hiccup's fingers had been on the paper. "I haven't sent a reply to them."
"Y-You haven't?!" Agnarr shook his head as an answer.
"I would never contact Chief Stoick without your permission. I want to keep you safe from them until you're ready, especially since they don't know you're here. Alive and well. You're like a son to me, that's why I've sent messages to the neighboring kingdoms to request a meeting to talk about the Hooligan tribe." Hiccup quickly calmed down from his panicked state, knowing that they would never accept anything from his old tribe after hearing how they treated the heir of the tribe because of how he was born.
"Why are you telling me this, King Agnarr?"
"Because I'm waiting for a reply. If there's going to be a meeting, it'll be a two week trip and Iduna will join me. If we don't return and something happened to us, promise me that you'll look after Elsa and Anna for us, protect them from anything that might hurt them."
"I promise. Make sure you'll be safe as well." The two hugged each other.
"That we will."
He waited for weeks for her reply before he received a reply. He got the guards to prepare a ship for him and his wife and left Kai in charge. He hoped the kids would behave but then again Hiccup would probably manage to keep the girls out of trouble. Anna seemed to adore Hiccup like a little sister should and Elsa was a lot more open except she still was a bit distant to anyone but Hiccup. But he should focus on the task at hand. He hoped he could get the message clear to the other royals but one can only hope.
Elsa was frightened but so far she was keeping her powers in check. Her parents had been gone for a month and there have still been no sign if they sent a messenger to the other kingdoms. They confirmed that they had arrived to discuss their alliance with Berk and that they saw them depart their harbour. They did say however that the weather got really bad the night after they left. A horrible sense of dread swept of the castle, a terrible suspicion had formed about the fate of the king and queen. No one wanted to believe it until a man came into the castle claiming to be the sole survivor of the ship.
Guilt washed over Hiccup in waves. Hiccup knew they weren't his real parents. When he arrived they insisted he call them by their names and make himself at home, but he never said he was grateful for what they did. Despite telling him they love him, he never once said he did back. And now all of those regrets have come flooding back. The voices left him when he and Elsa got together but now they have returned and they were back with vengeance. He and Elsa both locked themselves in their rooms for weeks, that is, until the funeral. Hiccup went but Elsa stayed in her room saying she would be too unstable and will lose control. The royal family of Corona was there as they were relatives to the royal family. Hiccup being the oldest present member of the royal family, despite being the foster child, was in charge of the ceremony.
When he stood on the podium to give a speech in front of the kingdom he said this, "My name is Hiccup. I'm the foster child of King Agnarr and Queen Iduna since five years ago. I had been flying over the kingdom when suddenly we lost control and crashed. I was surrounded by guards and escorted inside. When I spoke with the king, he asked about my past and also how a twelve year old managed to somehow tame a dragon." He gestured to Toothless who had his head lowered. "I told him about how I was an outcast and despite having a father, I never truly had parents except for the blacksmith who taught me everything I know and listened to me rant about my father for literally hours." He chuckled quietly at the mention of Gobber but the grew somber again. "I had never known what love felt like or what a home felt like until he took me under his wing. I was not truly their son but they treated me like I was. I will always be indebted to them. And I will guard this kingdom until Princess Elsa has come of age to take the crown. But I must sadly inform you that we will still be keeping the castle gates closed and it is more important now than ever before."
He stepped of the dais and proceeded to put a white rose on their memorial. People lined up after him and silently placed flowers next to his. The kingdom had suffered a great loss and the rest of the day was spent in silent mourning, except for those who openly bawled their eyes out. The royal couple of Corona came forth and hugged Hiccup and Anna with genuine looks.
"We're sorry for your loss." King Fredrik said solemnly to the two young royals.
"My brother would be so proud of you all." Queen Auriana stated with a sad smile. "When I heard he took you in after flying on a dragon, I was a bit skeptic but now I see a brave young man whose dedication is well versed."
"Thank you, your highness." Hiccup thanked them gratefully. "If you excuse me, I need to check up on Princess Elsa and see if she is alright." With that comment he bowed and walked off to Elsa's room, leaving Anna to catch up with her aunt and uncle.
Once arriving at Elsa's door, he knocked softly and asked quietly, "Elsa, how are you holding up?" The door opened slowly and Elsa rushed him in and wrapped her arms around his neck as she cried into his chest. "It's okay, it's okay. Just let it all out." He stroked her head gently as she slowly reigned in her tears.
"I'm sorry for getting your shirt wet." She apologised as she let go.
"It's fine, watch." He waved his hand and the water evaporated off the damp spot and left his shirt looking like nothing ever happened. "Turns out when I was teaching you, I was being taught myself." He rubbed his head sheepishly. "I'm going to go back to the others, then I have to make sure everyone leaves safely so I won't be back for a while so remember stay calm and keep the balance. Will you be okay with that?"
"I'll manage. What about you?" Elsa asked worried.
"I'm fine." He avoided eye contact and she knew he was lying, they all knew Hiccup was a bad liar over all.
"I know you, Hiccup. You're a bad liar. You feel like it was your fault all of this happened…"
"It is, Elsa!" The princess was shocked at his outburst, seeing the guilt in his eyes. "If I haven't stayed five years ago, none of this would have happened. You would still have your parents and the same goes for Anna! This is all my fault!"
"I had the same thoughts when I struck Anna with my powers!" Hiccup immediately got quiet. Elsa mentioning the accident that caused the isolation in the first place was a very touchy subject for her. "But when you first came here, when we told you about what happened, you convinced me it was an accident. That I had been traumatized because I really injured someone with my powers and that's why they were getting out of control. Stop blaming yourself for something you didn't know would happen. All they were trying to do was to make sure you were safe."
"Thank you, Elsa." The couple hugged each other for comfort, knowing how hard of a time they both had. "I know talking about the accident isn't easy."
"It's okay, because you're here with me."
The two stayed like this for a while longer and stayed quiet for some time. The loss of King Agnarr and Queen Iduna had made an impact on all three of them but that was just a start of the many events that would come in their lives.
After the funeral, Elsa stayed in her room to work on her grief for the loss of her parents and never left. Anna was still the bubbly and cheerful teen like she always was but her many hobbies she usually did around the castle was fewer than usual and knocked on Elsa's door to check on her older sister for her brother just in case. Hiccup was becoming increasingly stressed due to the many duties and running the kingdom together with Kai and General William.
Kai was the loyal stewart of the royal family and would always lend a hand if Hiccup needs it, especially when Hiccup had planned to take a trip to the archipelago soon. General William was the commander of the royal guards and Hiccup's combat teacher, always ready to give out advice to the young prince in any way he could and followed his orders with loyalty in mind, having admiration towards Hiccup.
However, the dragon rider was getting increasingly worried over the many letters from Stoick the Vast. It seemed that the dragon raids were getting worse even when the winter season was around the corner and still no luck in finding the dragon nest. Soon enough, the Hooligan tribe would resort on raiding in order to survive and the same goes for the dragons. They hit the highlands once the Vikings didn't have any food left.
Hiccup was currently riding Toothless through the archipelago when he was blinded by a flash of light and deafened by a big sound! He was thrown off Toothless and plummeted helplessly to the ground and into the forest below. Hiccup opened his eyes slowly and got up groggily. He was about to look around when he was greeted by a worried Night Fury's tongue.
Out of nowhere a worried voice exclaimed, "Hiccup, are you alright?!"
Hiccup looked around before shouting into the surrounding forest, "who's there?"
"What's wrong? Is someone nearby?!" The voice asked panicked.
Hiccup suddenly turned to face Toothless with disbelief and asked with a slight quiver, "T-Toothless?"
"Yes...what's wrong, my prince?"
"You're talking." He replied incredulously, thinking he was losing his mind or he hit his head too hard during the crash.
"I have always talked, my prince. You haven't been able to understand me up until now?"
"No and why are you calling me prince?" He snapped frustratedly. "I know I'm officially a prince of Arendelle but I met you before that even happened."
"Well, you must have been a good guesser because I never realised and I'm calling you that because you are the Dragon Prince, you were prophesied to be the liberator of dragons from the Red Death."
"What's the Red Death?"
"She's the reason we raid. She has the ability to bend the will of other dragons and she is big enough to strike fear into all dragons. She has been searching for you for decades and when we finally found you on Berk, all dragons swore an oath to keep your existence a secret from her until you were ready to fight her."
Hiccup was in a state of shock and sorrow. Dragons had given their lives to protect him and he had tried to kill them once upon a time. He wordlessly started scratching his friend's chin as he thought about his next move. He couldn't leave Arendelle now but dragons were suffering in his continued delay. He decided to sleep on the matter slightly, hoping that this was just a figment of his overactive imagination.
When he woke up and began his journey on Toothless, no words were exchanged. He had finally arrived at the castle and was greeted by the general at the stables. He was about to reply when Toothless decided to speak again.
"You should tell him." He said hesitantly.
Hiccup leapt into the air and landed straight into a haystack nearby. General William gave him a questionable look to which he questioned somewhat nervously, "You can't hear him, can you?" After receiving another bewildered look he gestured to Toothless as the prince got up on his feet, brushing away the strands of hay on him. "I've just discovered that I could understand him and supposedly I am a Dragon Prince, who is destined to destroy a tyrannical, monster-sized dragon who causes other dragons to raid Viking villages which also reminds me that many dragons have died to protect me when I lived on Berk."
After Hiccup managed to calm down, the general asked in a defeated tone, "what are you going to do, Hiccup?"
He replied hesitantly, "I am going to bring an end to this but I want some backup just in case things go south."
"Okay, I will assemble the fleet but how are we going to find the dragon?"
"She most likely lives in the Dragon's Nest. The only problem is no one has ever located it since it's surrounded by deep fog called Helheim's Gate which allows ships to be easily ambushed and destroyed by dragons." Hiccup pondered for a bit till he figured it out and face palmed, "The only ones to ever have seen the nest are dragons so if we take Toothless with us, he should be able to locate the nest. Wow, I never thought that information would be put to good use since I stopped living with Viking traditions."
"That sounds like a plan, milord." The general replied. "We'll be ready in a few hours."
"Good. I'm going to tell Elsa my plans." Hiccup replied with sigh. "Let's hope this works out. Now, if you excuse me, I need to talk to my girlfriend about me fighting a giant dragon that seems to terrify even the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself. I'm not sure which one of them I should be more afraid of." The general let out a chuckle but bowed and left the young man.
Hiccup was trying not to seem nervous and tried to calm down. On his way to Elsa's room, he met up with Kai to telling him about what he was going to do. Even though the Stewart was truly against this, Kai knew of the Viking stubbornness of the young prince would never waver once he decided on something. Hiccup eventually arrived at the familiar door and knocked.
"Hey snowflake." Hiccup greeted casually as he waits by the door to her room.
Elsa opened the door slightly to see if anyone else was there then opened it fully and gestured for Hiccup to come inside. Her room was a disaster. Frost covered the walls and the furniture was half frozen. He quickly melted all the ice in the room and embraced her in a warm hug. She had tears streaming down her face and collapsed into his arms.
"It's getting harder to control. I need them here with me. Why did they have to go if only they stayed..." She continued to lament for what seemed to be an hour before she got control. He had swapped from hugging her to cradling her softly in his arms as she buried her head in the crook of his neck. He slowly lifted her gaze to look him in the eyes. She looked into his forest-green eyes and saw the pure concern he felt.
"Elsa... I am going to go in a few hours. Me, the general and a few guards are going to go to the dragon nest. I discovered that the dragons in the archipelago are being controlled by a giant dragon called the Red Death, who resorts to cannibalism to feed herself if she doesn't get enough food. I discovered her when Toothless, who I can somehow understand now, told me I am the prince of all dragons and I'm supposed to defeat her and bring peace to both dragons and humans. I have to leave as soon as possible because the longer I take the more dragons and humans die because of me. I am so very sorry for leaving you in the state you're in but I have to go. I understand if you hate me... "
He looked away from the shocked Elsa and turned to exit but as he was leaving she grabbed his arm and turned him towards her, smashed her lips against him during the process. He was startled by the sudden kiss but eventually returned it passionately. The kissed for what seemed to be eternity until the unfortunate need for oxygen forced them apart and they separated begrudgingly.
"I love you..." She whispered softly.
"I love you too, snowflake." He replied, smiling warmly.
"Then go and save them because you're not just my hero now, you're their hero too." He nodded quickly then hesitantly left her room. "Make sure you come back, please, I can't lose you too." She pleaded quietly. Then slowly closed closed the door and returned to her solitude.
Five large ships were anchored at the edge of a dense fog. An air of dread hung over the men as they cautiously followed the lead ship with Toothless on it. The whole area was quiet except for an unearthly hum and the creaking of the boat against the choppy waves. The ships sailed in a row like prisoners for execution. Many would not survive the coming battle.
A real hell on earth, that was what everyone thought when they landed on the island. A barren waste land desolate of all life. A volcano in the centre of the island breathed its noxious fumes into the atmosphere, this was the only sign of movement in the area. A sullen silence was maintained as troops constructed their siege weapons the only calm found was in the lapping of the waves. A spine-shivering roar pierced the veil of silence and troops hastily prepared for battle but nothing could prepare them for what came next...
A giant dragon erupted from the volcano and roared, "Who dares to trespass on my domain. I will show you what happens to uninvited guest!"
She ordered her minions to attack and dragons descended from the sky and bathed the small army in flames. Luckily they were prepared for this and covered themselves with their shield. The giant behemoth suddenly started sniffing the air and turned her massive frilled head in Hiccup's direction on the gravel ground.
"Ah...The Dragon Prince. I have awaited your arrival for many decades, it is an honour to finally kill you." She made a sadistic grin and then suddenly opened her mouth and spewed a raging inferno that engulfed him and Toothless, who was standing proudly at his side.
Hiccup jumped in front of his dragon and forced the fire to pass harmlessly around them. Hiccup was forced to listen to dragons shriek the pain and anger at the queen and felt upset that he wasn't here sooner so he let out massive streams of fire from his palms. The queen's six eyes widened in shock and fell over trying to shield herself from the flames, Hiccup took the chance to jump onto his friend and take them into the air. When she fell she lost her focus and the dragons were freed from her control. They immediately stopped attacking the soldiers, who were left dumbstruck at the power he wielded, and took out their anger on her currently vulnerable form. The barrage of fireballs did nothing but kick up dust and piss her off. When the dust finally settled, she slowly unfurled her wings and got up. She rose into the sky and chased the duo as they sped of into some sea stacks in hopes it would slow her down. It didn't.
She bulldozed through them and shrieked in a loud, booming voice, "You shall die by my mighty claw and raging flames! I will crush your bones and feed your despicable carcass to the terrors!"
Hiccup had a massive lightbulb moment and whispered to Toothless, "Let's show her who's king of the night sky."
Toothless's eyes widen in surprise. "What's the plan?"
"You remember when we were hanging out with that Terror that one time after our first flight together?"
~Flashback Starts~
Toothless had his paws around his stack of fish as the small group of Terrible Terrors came flying to the small camp. This did not deter the Terrible Terrors though as one of them grabbed the fish that Toothless regurgitated for Hiccup. Another Terror came and snatch it away causing the two Terrors to start fighting. Toothless snorted at the sight until one of the fish caught Toothless' eye. It started to move on its own! Toothless then took the fish and ate it, revealing another Terrible Terror behind the deception. Upset about losing the fish, the dragon was getting ready to fire at Toothless. But just as it opened its mouth, Toothless fired a small plasma blast at its mouth, causing the dragon the fall down, then stumble away defeated.
"Not so fireproof on the inside." Hiccup noted. Hiccup then tossed one of his fish towards the Terrible Terror. "There you go." The dragon ate it up instantly and then went to lie down next to Hiccup.
~Flashback Ends~
"You seriously want to try that?! Wait, don't answer that." Toothless quickly stopped himself, knowing his rider far too much.
"What could possibly go wrong?" Hiccup questioned.
"Everything!" Toothless exclaimed.
"Do you have a better idea?"
"...No...but it's too risky if we don't time it right, we could die."
"It's our only hope. This dragon can't be overpowered but it might be able to be outsmarted."
"You're going to be the death of me you know that."
"I love you too."
"...You're lucky you're my prince and rider, otherwise I wouldn't agree with this."
"Somehow I think you would."
"Okay, fine, what should we do first, Hiccup?"
"We will use the clouds as camouflage. We will keep hitting her wings enough to damage them so she plummets. If that doesn't work, we go with my plan. Okay?"
"Let's do it." Toothless turned his head and yelled, "Come and get me you fat, eel-eating hag!"
She was pissed. "I will obliterate you and water the world in you and your riders blood!"
Toothless let out small smirk before turning his attention back to Hiccup. "I'm sorry you had to listen to me use such appalling language." The Night Fury apologized, talking about the fact most dragons hated eels.
Hiccup shrugged it off. "It's fine. Now, time to disappear." The Dragon Prince pressed the stir ups once again. "Come on, bud!"
They pulled into a steep climb with the angry dragoness behind got into the gloomy cloud bank in mere seconds before her before disappearing into the darkened sky. The soldiers and dragons could only watch the battle in shock and amazement.
"Come out, you cowards, and face my wrath!" The Queen roared in anger.
While she hovered, the duo circled silently behind her and shot at her tattered wings. She turned to try and face them but to no avail. Despite her massive wings they were still to small for her body and didn't allow her to turn due to her massive bulk. They continued the cycle of getting behind her and firing at her wings until she lost it.
"ENOUGH!" She frantically let out a stream of flames in the desperate hope she might actually hit something. A part of the stream managed to light Toothless' prosthetic and their last resort was put into motion.
"Time for plan B. Let's hope this works." They dived in front of her face and he yelled, "Is that the best you can do!"
Toothless decided to contribute so he added, "Here, fatty, try and keep up!"
She tried to bite them but they narrowly dodged and pulled into an almost impossibly steep dive. The queen followed them and roared, "GET BACK HERE YOU INSOLENT SWINE!"
They broke the cloud bank and plummeted full speed towards the ground. They accidently steadied themselves and she took aim. A deadly hiss alerted them that she was building up some gas for their future demise.
The world seemed to slow down for them as they got ready for their last shot at defeating her. Toothless was getting nervous at the close proximity between them but Hiccup merely said, "Hold, Toothless." He waited for the very second when the hissing stopped and commanded, "NOW!"
Toothless turned instantly and fired point blank into the gas in her affect was immediate a large plume of smoke erupted from her mouth as she swallowed her own fireball. The ground finally came into view and her eyes widened in shock. She flared her wings but due to the damage sustained from Toothless the holes in her wings grew and she plummeted to the gravelly beach below. She howled in pain and in a last ditch effort to take them out attempted to bite them but Toothless opened his wings and they passed harmlessly above her. She collided with the ground and exploded into a plume of fire. However the duo were shooting up back in a deadly race with the raging inferno. Hiccup wasn't sure whether he would be protected from a flame of that magnitude. As they were almost home free, the tail fin finally burned off and they lost control.
"Noo!" Hiccup cried helplessly as they slammed into the queens bludgeon-like tail knocking Hiccup unconscious and off Toothless.
Toothless cried out, "Hiccup!"
But he was unable to reach him in time so in a last ditch effort he bit into his leg and hoisted him into himself. He wrapped his wings around them like a cocoon and braced himself for the flames and their inevitable crash. The last thing he felt was the taste of human blood in his mouth before he hit the ground…
It had been a week since Hiccup had left for battle and they still hadn't returned. Elsa had resorted to the only way she knew to cope with his absence and locked herself in her room. Her room had to endure large amounts of ice and snow being thrown at it and looked like a war zone. Anna was worried. Her sister was locking herself away from everyone just when things were getting back to normal. She may not be a genius but she knew it had something to do with Hiccup. Ever since he arrived, their family was whole again. Of course, then her parents died but they slowly picked up the pieces and she got her sister back.
Then he left...WHY DID HE LEAVE? He and half of their army left for reasons unknown and she was stuck with a distant sister. Why was she always left behind? She was told by Kai that he would come back hopefully but he sounded very, VERY uncertain. Hiccup was like a big brother to her even if he technically wasn't. He always kept Anna entertained and he was the one who got her and Elsa to make up. If he died, she would resurrect him to slap him in the face for leaving.
~Flashback~
Anna was sitting on a bench in the royal garden when someone called her.
"Hey Anna!" She turned to see who called her and saw Hiccup walking towards her.
"Hi, Hiccup, what do you need?" Anna asked curious.
"Well..." He sheepishly scratched the back of his neck before continuing, "You and Elsa have this huge rift between you two and it doesn't take a genius to know that both of you are nervous to talk to each other."
Anna's face fell as soon as he mentioned this. When Elsa had finally come out of her room she thought they could finally be sisters again but whenever they got close she got nervous and ran away.
"I wish I could but I don't think that she even wants to be near me. I mean who locks themselves in their room without wanting to be away from people." Tears formed on the precipice of her eyes and stayed there like a warning for Hiccup to stop talking...he didn't.
"Anna, look at me," she didn't so he lifted her face gently so she was looking directly at him. When they finally faced each other, she broke down.
"Just tell me already! Tell me I'm a terrible sister! Tell me that it's my fault!" She then buried her head in her hands and wept.
A nervous voice then interrupted her crying. "Anna, you're not a terrible sister. If anyone's to blame, it's me. I pushed you away while you were trying to be the good sister and coax me out."
Anna immediately shut up and turned around to see Elsa come out of some shrubbery behind her.
"H-how long have you been hiding there?"
She was nervous but she had enough of the unspoken words between them so she took a deep breathe and answered, "Before Hiccup called you, he told me to hide in the bushes. He wants us to be a family and I do too. It's just I don't know what to do to mend our family." A solitary tear escaped her eye and dribbled down her face. The area was so quiet that the tear made an audible 'plop' "Do you think you could forgive me?" She asked hesitantly, "so we could be a family again?"
A broad smile split across Anna's face as she ran to her sister and tackled her into a hug. Elsa, however, lost her balance and they both fell onto the grass next to each other.
Elsa turned to her sister and said, "I love you, Anna."
Anna embraced her sister and replied, "I love you too."
~Flashback End~
"Hiccup, you better come back or I'll, I'll..." she paused to think. "I'll do something drastic."
She started chuckling evilly until Kai decided to ask, "are you okay princess?" Anna then looked around and realised that she was in public, as public as you can get in an isolated castle, and smiled sheepishly.
"I'm fine, Kai." He gave her a look of disbelief but held his tongue.
Three damaged warships entered Arendelle's harbour that late afternoon. The dock master, who had spotted them on the horizon earlier, hurriedly tied the ship to the dock and injured men were rushed quickly to receive treatment. Their wounds ranged from claw marks to intense burns.
"Where's the prince?" Kai exclaimed having rushed to the docks after seeing the fleet return.
"He has been severely wounded." General William answered, who had been getting off the ship.
He then walked over to Kai and whispered something in his ear. Kai's eyes widen in shock and a wrapped up Hiccup is rushed back to the castle while the guards helped Toothless to the stables to rest. Kai gets the guards to carry Hiccup to his room. The cloth covering his body was stained a dark red liquid, mostly by his legs.
"Get the doctor here, quickly," Kai ordered one of the maids. She nods hurriedly and rushes through the corridor.
When they reach Hiccup's room, he is laid immediately on his bed. The doctor arrives a few minutes later with a bundle of bandages in one arm and a purse full of medical supplies in the other. He immediately sets to work and begins to remove the bandages. The doctor had seen many wounds in his day but nothing could prepare him for what he saw.
Hiccup's left leg, slightly below the knee, was matted with blood coming from a large bite mark. A bit of bone was protruding out of his leg and the skin was blackened in some places due to the fire. The horrific smell of burnt skin and blood immediately assaulted the doctor's nose but he began to treat his wounds. After several hours of intense treatment, the doctor exited the room with looking troubled. Kai, who was waiting outside as he left when the bandages were taken off to throw up...a lot, immediately asked for the prince's condition.
The doctor released a heavy sigh then said, "I managed to treat a lot of the burns and a cracked rib I discovered but his left leg is beyond help. It has been infected and if we don't amputate we could risk further infection. He seems to also be in a coma and whether he decides to wake up is up to God." He was about to leave but looked over his shoulder and said, "I'm sorry but I did the best I could." Then walked off into the silent hallway.
Kai was in turmoil. He wanted to tell Princess Elsa the news but didn't want her to worry or get stressed with the coronation coming up in a few days. He let out a loud sigh and massaged his temple. Not telling her will only make things worse he finally decided and walked down a few rooms to Elsa's room and knocked gently on the door.
"Anna, please leave. I need to be alone." Elsa called out from the other side of the door.
"Princess, it's me, Kai. I have some news about Prince Hiccup." He heard footsteps coming closer then the door slowly creaked open revealing only her head.
"Is he okay?" she asked with concern. Kai had a flashback of Hiccup;s condition but took a deep breath to calm himself. Elsa noticed this and became worried. "Kai? What happened to him?"
"Elsa. He is currently in a coma and soon his leg will have to be amputated to stop an infection." He explained. Elsa raised her gloved hand to cover her mouth. Tears were hanging precariously at the edge of her eyes.
"W-Will he wake up?" She managed to stammer out.
"Whether he wakes up or not is up to God." Kai sends a look of sadness but bows to her and leaves leaving Elsa back to her isolation.
Elsa waited till she could no longer hear Kai's footsteps and let out a pained wail and let her tears fall. Having no control whatsoever, she decreased the room's temperatures to negatives and froze her tears as they fell making them shatter like glass.
Fear radiated off her in waves. She could possibly lose someone else close to her and even just the thought of that sent her into a fit of tears and sadness. The wind started whipping up the snow on the floor of her room and it began a mini snowstorm. The snow turned to ice sliced the walls of her room with dangerous ease. Elsa, having used up a lot of energy through the snow storm in her room, fainted and dreamt a surprisingly pleasant dream: Her and Hiccup ruling together and people cheering them on as they showcase their power. Her mother and father standing to her right and Anna to her left wearing proud smiles. She subconsciously smiled and the storm dissipated, with the ice melting away. Restoring the room to normal.
