Author note: This is will be a crossover Between 'How to train your Dragon', 'Snow White', 'Tangled', 'Aladdin', 'Mulan', 'Brave', 'Sleeping Beauty, 'The Sword in the Stone', 'Cinderella'' Frozen' and Vinland Saga characters.
In this story, I will be using the map of the Game of Thrones because it will easier for our hero, as it'll shorten the distance to travel between the kingdoms. The following Disney kingdoms will replace Game of Thrones cities and kingdoms so that they can be neighbors except for some game of throne city name because I don't know the name of some of the Disney cities. The environment is the same as in the movies.
For example, Snow-white place is at Casterly Rock in the Kingdom of the Rock.
-Corona (Tangled) will replace Highgarden of the kingdom of the reach.
-Arabian city of Agrabah (Aladin) will replace Dorne and its capital city.
-The Kingdom of China of the Mulan movie will be at The East Essos while keeping the continent free city name for the story plot.
-The Scottish kingdom of DunBroch of the movie Brave will replace the Riverrun (Tully)
-The kingdom of Sleeping Beauty will be at the Vale of Arryn while keeping its name (game of throne) for the sake of the story.
-The Sword in the Stone (King Arthur of 1963) will take place in The North with London as the capital.
-Cinderella movie will take place at kings landing with the place keeping the name.
-Arendelle of Frozen will replace the iron Islands.
This story will also have some characters of the mangas Serie Vinland because they are badass. This will be a Hiccup harem story. Which you will see in the pairing section. Some Characters won't be in this story. For example, the princes because the fact princess will be in Hiccup Harem.

Last time in the legend of the hero dragon king.
"I am sorry to tell you this but there is nothing I can tell because I don't know anyone that is related to this tattoo. Perhaps to a pirate group because of the Hook. I am sorry that I can't tell you more." excused Trader Johann.
"It's alright Trader. For now, I just going to focus on Xavier forge first then I will later focus on these tattoos." said Hiccup with trader Johann nodding in agreement.
"Just be careful, I fear that there are powerful people behind those attacks in the region." said Johann in a worried tone.
"You don't have to worry about me. I won't be alone I got Toothless with me." said Hiccup while the black dragon postured himself to show how intimidating he is.
"That is good to hear but if you need anything just send me the message and I will be there." declared Trader Johann volunteering to help our young hero.
"Thanks, just don't be scared when you get my messages because you may certainly receive them by dragons." said Hiccup.
"Wait you mean..." said Trader Johann pointing at Toothless.
"No, I will be using Terrible Terror." said Hiccup causing Trader Johann to a little bit sigh in relief.
"Ah yes, of course. You have Terrible terrors. This is something I would like to hear." said Trader Johann curious about the little dragons that are with Hiccup.
"Sure I got time for that." smiled Hiccup.
And with that, Hiccup begins to tell his trader friend more of his adventure for the rest of the evening. Until Hiccup feel it was time to go back home. Since he needs to be in form for work tomorrow at Xavier forge.
Later as they fly back home, Hiccup looks up to the clear sky and smiles as he admires the full bright moon.
Chapter 6: A love song on sight. (rewritten 08/05/22)
Hiccup Pov.
It has been three weeks since me and my friends arrived in the kingdom of the Rock and went to Casterly Rock where I also found Trader Johann over there. After that, I keep in touch with him exchanging messages with each other by the use of terrible Terror. Since he knows my secret about Toothless and the dragons that are with me. To my surprise, he quickly accepts them even if he is still a bit uncomfortable with the big ones.
Anyway, as I said, we have easily able to keep in touch with each other. Since Trader Johann told me that he will be navigating and trading around Westeros for some time. Because of the dragons' situation at the Barbaric Archipelago. And just in case He wants to make commercial deals with me again. He even came to visit me and Xavier a week ago.
It also has been two weeks since I started to work for Xavier at his forge. At first, the Blacksmith thought that my skill would be low because of how slime my body is. But he became surprised to see a young boy like me be extremely good at his work.
As I managed to help Xavier to do the commands that he has been asking for and repairing the dwarves' pickaxes both in a short amount of time. The dwarves as promised, went to their mines to harvest the mineral and give them freely to the blacksmith in exchange for repairing their tools.
Speaking of the dwarves, their situation has improved for them since they are being escorted across the woods between their home and the mine by Toothless and Shattermaster who were protecting them from any danger in the woods. As the dwarves worked at the mine the dragons were helping them with Shattermaster eating the rocks that are not useful and Toothless on the lookout against the wolves or any intruders.
For the mineral. After they have been collected, we take them home before we bring them the next day to the blacksmith to be used. Talking about the forge, Xavier and his place situation got better since he gets provided by the dwarves by the mine that they are exploiting now. He even lowered the prices of his service as he stop buying the expensive and terrible mineral that belonged to the Merchant Stromboli.
Later during the two weeks when we quickly clear all the debt we owe to Xavier. The Blacksmith proposed to continue the deal we have made. Since he wants to buy the mineral from dwarves from now on because it was good quality and cheaper. Instead of going back to deal with Stromboli again. Which wouldn't be good for him and his business.
When we heard Xavier's proposition, the dwarves accepted it to continue but on the condition that I still work at the forge as an employee and that would be paid for it. To which Xavier says yes of course as He also wanted me to continue to work for him. He was even ready to pay a good salary. Because he was so impressed by my work, it would be madness for him to let a good hard worker like me go.
At first, I hesitated since I was planning for me and the dragons not to stay long. After the debt is paid. And I want to continue exploring more the world. But after two weeks here. I realized that our little group was starting to like the situation we found ourselves in. With me enjoying my work at Xavier forge and being praised by my boss and the clients that have seen me doing the work.
Which is different from when I used to when I lived at Berk. And I also like working for Xavier since is certainly less stressful than working at Berk no offense Gobber because there are no constant dragon attacks. Speaking of dragons, Toothless and the others also like living here. With the all forest to explore and to be used as a playground.
They and the dwarves got friends quite well, with Shattermaster and Dopey becoming friends pretty fast. I would even say they are best friends now. Both of them play together all the time. Doc helps Iggy learn to get new objects. Or Pain who always tries to comically bit Grumpy for fun. So in the end I decided to accept Xavier's offer and continue his work for him at the forge. Not to pay what we owed to him but as a paid employee.
Of course, I made some free time because I only work five days a week. This is fine for me since I can use these free days and the time after work to spend time with Toothless and the others at home. I also used my time to do some investigation about the wolves and their tattoo trying to find out where these beasts came from. By exploring the forests and other places in the region with the help of Toothless and the terrible terrors.
When I started living there, I decided to put a false name for myself in the public by calling myself Harold with no last name. In case another person from the Barbaric Archipelago would recognize me or my name since I am the son of the famous Stoïck the Vast. Plus with a name like Harold, people would take me more seriously.
The only ones who know my real name are Xavier, Trader Johann, and the dwarves. They do keep calling me Hiccup at home or outside of the city when there is no one around. I have to say, It has been a long time since Berk that I have friends that treat you fairly.
Normal Pov
Location castle of Casterlery Rock.
Early morning, inside the castle kitchen. We see a girl around Hiccup's age scouring the pots that were used to prepare the day's meals. Her name is Snow White and she is a teenage girl blessed with beauty that will make some other women jealous. With her lips red as the rose, hairs black as ebony, and skin white as the snow of winter.
The slender girl wears a short white-collared and puffy white-sleeved brown bodice and a long, light brown skirt with several patches on it, with light brown clogs and lilac-pink stockings. She wears a blue headband with a bow. As she does her work, the Scullery maid stops when one of the cooks called her name.
"Snow White?" the cook called her name as he enters the kitchen.
"I am here. What can I do for you, Mister Alfredo?" asked Snow White.
"Snow White. We are nearly run out of flour. So you need to go to the miller to get some more." the cook explained the order to the maiden.
"The one that is in town?" asked the girl.
"No, the one that is outside the city of Casterly Rock. The flour mill that belongs to mister Stromboli to be exact." responded the man.
"That is quite far from town, it at the other side of the forest. And How many do We need to get?" asked Snow White.
"Several bags of 25 Kg each. And you have to do it on your own." responded the cook.
"I have to do it on my own. But it will be exhausting and it will take me all day. The time I will finish, it will be the evening." said Snow White with her eyes widened in shock. As she couldn't believe what she just heard from the man.
"Yes, I'm sorry. The order came early this morning from the Queen herself." Monsieur Alfredo explains while feeling sorry for the young girl because of the hard work she is going to be forced to do.
"(Sigh) It is alright, I am not surprised because it is not the first time my stepmother do this to me. But there is nothing I can do about it. After all, she is family." said Snow-white showing a small smile on her face. Resigning herself to the situation she is in.
"Not by blood. As you said, she is only your stepmother. Your father the king was the true ruler. May his and your mother's soul may rest in peace." said the cooker with sadness in his tone.
"It doesn't matter, She is queen. She's the one who rules the kingdom now. Because of my young age and I am her ward. She is the one who decides what is for me." said Snow White.
"By making you a Scullery maid. Instead of treating you like the princess, you are supposed to be." the cook tried to argue.
"As you said, this is the Queen's order." sadly replied the girl. Giving a small and sad smile.
"It is still not right. This woman is evil and a terrible ruler. And I am not the only one saying it." Alfredo gives his dislike toward the Queen.
"Please don't say that. If she ever heard you say those things. You are going to be punished. I don't want you to suffer because of me." said Snow White. Showing a worried expression on her face.
"Thank you for your concern. You are indeed a kind girl. But don't worry about us. But if you remember, I and the servants that worked under your father. We all made the promise to keep you safe. Even if it will cost our lives." said the cook. Causing the girl to smile at the man in front of her.
"Thank you." Snow White said her gratitude as small tears at the corner of her eyes. Her being touched by the man's words.
Elsewhere in Hiccup's dream.
Finding himself lying on familiar ground, we see Hiccup open his eyes to see another clear blue sky. He then stands up to his feet and starts to glance around his surroundings. He frowns slightly as he recognizes the place.
"Look like, I am back to these woods. And alone like last time. While I am here, I should look around again, perhaps I will find this mysterious girl again and ask her who is she. I may even find out why I am here." Hiccup said this to himself before he starts to move, taking the direction the last time he was there.
(change of scene)
Later like before, Hiccup finds himself in front of the old and lone oak tree where he has found the mysterious girl. Looking for any clues for a couple of minutes, Hiccup couldn't find anything that will help. Hiccup leaves the oak tree in the direction where the mysterious girl ran away. Following the track of the nameless girl, he approaches the bushes that he and the girl went through. And like before, he goes through it but with caution this time. Remembering that there is the river he fell on like last time.
After passing through the bushes and avoiding falling into the river, Hiccup continues his walk through the woods for some time until he stops where he is. Because what he sees is a small cottage that is completely fused with nature itself. Half of the structure of the home is a huge tree and rocks with a window on the tree tronc while the rest of the home is a traditional cottage you can find everywhere.
"This cottage looks like a nice place perhaps there is someone that will help by telling me where I am." said Hiccup before walking again in direction of the home.
Now finding himself at the entrance of the small home. Hiccup notices that the door is half-open. Seeing this, the main hero pushes the door enough to let him through. Hiccup tilts his head inside and begins to call out to see if there is someone.
"Hello? is there anyone in here?" Hiccup said out loud expecting someone to respond.
When no response was called out to him. Hiccup decides to go inside anyway thinking that he will find something that will help. Now inside the small home. Hiccup starts to look around to find any clues. He will be looking around until he sees something on the table that caught his eye. Which is a guitar, the same one that he played at Arendelle.
Seeing the instrument, Hiccup advance toward it and pick it up. When he was done inspecting it, the boy glances around before he moved toward the dining table and takes one of its chairs to sit on.
Now sitting, Hiccup adjusts the cords of the musical instrument while thinking of a song to play. Done with the cords, Hiccup did indeed find a song as he remembers an old one that he learned in Berk's in one of the books when he was young. Remembering it, Hiccup decides to play it.
I See Fire by Ed Sheeran (I don't own it)
Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin's sons
By reciting the first words of the song, Harold begins to play the instrument for a few seconds before resuming the continuation of the song.
If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night
Calling out for the rope
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn on and on
The mountain side, hey
Playing his song, he is unaware that outside, someone is approaching the small house as this person hears Hiccup's singing voice inside it.
And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Calling out for the rope
Prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn on and on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky
Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
And I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
And I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me
Continuing to focus on the song with his eyes closed, he is unaware that there is someone standing at the entrance of the cottage hiding behind the wall next to the open door, watching and listening to Hiccup singing.
Oh, should my people fall
Then surely I'll do the same
Confined in mountain halls
We got too close to the flame
Calling out for the rope
Hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn on and on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky
Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
And I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
And I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me
Taking a little breath, he resumes his song by starting to put more emotion and volume in his voice. Still unaware that the mysterious person that was at the door started to move inside of the house slowly toward our singer.
And if the night is burning
I will cover my eyes
For if the dark returns
Then my brothers will die
And as the sky is falling down
It crashed into this lonely town
And with that shadow upon the ground
I hear my people screaming out
Hiccups once again add more to the tone of his voice while putting more percussion on the guitar.
Now I see fire
Inside the mountains
I see fire
Burning the trees
I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
I see fire
Oh you know I saw a city burning out (fire)
And I see fire
Feel the heat upon my skin, yeah (fire)
And I see fire (fire)
And I see fire burn on and on the mountain side
Ending the song, Hiccup takes his breath, smiling with satisfaction at what he has done. All of a sudden Hiccup becomes stiff as he now feels behind him the presence of the person that came inside of the cottage. Feeling this, our hero starts to slowly turn behind and see with his eyes widen in surprise as he recognized the blond and beautiful girl that he has met before.
Now seeing that the boy in front of her is looking at her. The mysterious girl becomes stiff like him. Causing a silence to appear when the eyes of the two individuals meet.
None of them couldn't dare to speak as they both don't know what to say. Not wanting to scare each other. Feeling the silence for a minute, Hiccup was about to break it when he is interrupted. When he and the girl hear a voice calling his name.
"Hiccup? Hiccup? Hey, kid wakes up." exclaimed the voice.
Hearing the voice by surprise, Hiccup makes a little backward jump. Causing him to stumble on the wooden chair he was sitting on. Falling backward hitting the floor causing his vision to go black.
Back to the real world.
Sitting on a chair at the forge that he used for his breaks. Hiccup wakes up from his dream and opens his eyes and looks up to see his boss Xavier standing next to him.
"Hey, kid. Are you alright? You have fallen asleep right there." said Xavier with worry in his voice as he see how tired his employee is.
"Sorry about that, I guess have fallen asleep while taking a small break." excused Hiccup as he glances around to see that he is still at Xavier's forge.
"It's not your fault kid. I did ask you to work all night. On these blades, the city guards asked us for. By the way, thank you for doing it. That was very helpful of you." smiled Xavier.
"It's alright Sir. I am glad that I help. You did need help to finish these important commands. That was ordered." said Hiccup who's smiling back at the blacksmith.
"Hiccup. How many times I have to tell you do not call me Sir. Xavier is just fine." chuckled Xavier.
"Sorry." Hiccup apologies once again. While scratching the back of his head.
"Never mind that. Look it's almost lunchtime. I got a stew I can share with you. So how about we eat it and you go back home and have your day off this afternoon and tomorrow. You earned it." suggested Xavier.
"Are you sure?" asked Hiccup. Surprised by his boss's suggestion.
"Of course, you can kid. As I said, You deserve it." said Xavier.
"Thanks." said Hiccup.
"You are welcome. Now come on Hiccup finish what were you doing. While I reheat up the stew." said Xavier while Hiccup nodded his head.
(change of scene)
Later, we find Hiccup and Xavier sitting at the table that is situated next to a window that leads outside of the forge to the street where a lot of people are passing. As the two start to consummate the stew that the blacksmith has prepared, Hiccup begins to speak with his boss to have a conversation.
"Hey is it me or have we got more clients than before?" asked Hiccup.
"Well, of course, we got more clients than before. It is thanks to you, Hiccup." replied Xavier.
"Me?" said Hiccup surprised by his boss's response.
"Yes, you kid. Your forging skill is so good, we got ourselves a new amazing reputation in town. I even heard that people from other towns and regions of the kingdom come here for our service." smiled Xavier proud of the new reputation of his forge.
"Woah, I don't know what to say." Hiccup continues to be surprised at what Xavier just said to him.
"Say nothing because I should be the one thanking you. Because you and the dwarves have saved my forge after all. Now come on let's finish this stew before it gets cold." smiled the blacksmith as he and Hiccup continue their meal.
Later, after they are done with their meal. The two were about to go back to work when suddenly Hiccup widens his eyes as he notices the presence of a guitar in the room that wasn't there before.
"Xavier. Where this guitar is coming from? Because it wasn't there before." Hiccup asks his boss about the musical instrument.
"Oh, that thing. While you were asleep. A client passed by an hour ago to pay. But He didn't have enough money to pay so instead he gave me his musical instrument to cover the rest of the cost." explained Xavier as he picks up the guitar to show it at Hiccup.
"Can I have a look?" asked Hiccup.
"Sure go ahead." said Xavier as he passes the guitar to Hiccup who begin to inspect it.
As Hiccup looks at the guitar, he smiles that there was no damage on it, and looks like the instrument was made of wood of good quality.
"Do you like it? Because If you want. You can have it." proposed Xavier as he sees how Hiccup was smiling at the instrument.
"Really?" asked Hiccup surprised by his boss's offer.
"I don't see why not. I was planning to sell it to one of the merchants in town. But it would be a better use with you. Since I have heard from Trader Johann that you are good with a guitar. So take it." smiled Xavier.
"Thank." thanked Hiccup as he attaches the guitar to his back.
"Alright Hiccup, why don't you go ahead and go home. I will tidy here." said Xavier.
"Thanks. Boss," thanked Hiccup.
"You are welcome. Oh crap, I almost forgot, Hiccup before you go home. Can you make a delivery for me?" asked the blacksmith.
"Sure, what do you want me to deliver and where?" replied Hiccup with a question of his own.
"Do you remember the wooden chest?" asked Xavier.
"The one that we have to make a gold metal heart pierced by a golden dagger latch that is to be attached to it." said Hiccup.
"The very same. I just finished it last night. So I still wonder if you can bring it to the client at the castle." explained Xavier while still asking Hiccup if he can do this service.
"The castle, you say. Do you know who order it?" asked Hiccup.
"Not really, It was a servant that has come at the forge to ask the order. And it can't be for the servant but for someone of high nobility since the chest got precious stones on it." guessed Xavier.
"I guess I have to ask someone when I get to the castle." said Hiccup.
"It seems so. Wait here, I will get it for you to take it." said Xavier before he went to another in the forge to get the chest. While Hiccup moves a few steps to get his satchel.
Minutes later, the old blacksmith comes back holding the wooden chest by his arm.
"Here you go. Be Careful with it." said Xavier has passed the object.
When Hiccup got the object in his possession. He looks at it and sees that is indeed a small painted red hope chest. With a golden latch resembling a conventional heart symbol with a gold dagger embedded with green jewels on it piercing through.
"Of course boss. Well, I better get going. See you later Xavier and have a good day." said Hiccup as he starts to leave the forge with the object in his possession that is now inside of his satchel.
"You too Hiccup." said Xavier as he watches our hero leave the place.
(Change of scene)
Now finding outside of the forge, Hiccup was about to go to his destination. But the dragon rider is stopped when he enters into a collision with someone. Causing both of them to fall to the ground. When his butt hits the dirt floor, Hiccup rubs his eyes as his vision was blurry.
"Ouch, what the hell hit me." groaned Hiccup with his vision being blurry.
When his blurry vision comes to an end. First Hiccup quickly looks inside of his satchel to see in relief that the chest is intact. He then turns his attention to the person he crashed into who is revealed to be Snow White. The girl also has her butt on the floor with a huge bag next to her. Certainly one of flour because of the symbol of flour and wheat drawn on it. Seeing this he goes up to his feet and went to the girl to see if she is not hurt.
"Hey, are you alright?" Hiccup gently asked the girl on the floor.
"Yes, I am alright. Thanks for asking." the girl said before looking up and widening her eyes when she sees Hiccup's face. He also does the same reaction when he sees her face. Creating a silence between the two of them. As they silently continue to look at each other. They begin to think in their head.
"Whoa, she is beautiful. Where does she come from?" thought Hiccup as he admired the girl's beauty.
"Who is that? I have never seen him before. I don't know why but he makes my heart beat very fast." thought Snow White as she hears the beat of her heart going faster.
Noticing the situation they are in, Hiccup starts to address her again.
"Glad to hear that. Look, I am sorry that I collide with you. I wasn't looking where I was going." apologized Hiccup.
"Don't be, I should be the one to apologize to you. I wasn't looking where I was going either." also apologized Snow White while glancing away to avoid Hiccup's eyes.
"I guess we both didn't see where we were going today." commented Hiccup who chuckled a little, earning a small giggle from Snow White.
When their chuckle or giggle dies down. Hiccup extends his hand toward the girl to help her to get up to which she accepts his help. Now both standing to their feet, Hiccup notice that Snow White looks exhausted, seeing sweat on her forehead.
"Are you ok? you look tired." asked Hiccup.
"Don't need to worry, I'm just a little bit tired from doing work." gently explained Snow White.
"Wait, you mean that you were transporting this huge bag of flour? And all by yourself?" asked Hiccup surprised as he noticed that the girl was dealing with the bag all alone.
"Yes but like I said, I am alright. Just give me a minute and I'll be ready to go back to work." smiled Snow White while taking her breath.
Finally getting her breath back, the girl went to the bag of flour to pick it up.
But when she lifts the sack of flour, the scouring maid begins to struggle as it is difficult for her to hold the bag due to its enormous weight. Causing her to finally give up and let go of the bag. Seeing Snow White having trouble with the huge bag, Hiccup sighed and decided to move toward the girl to help her.
"Here let me help you." said Hiccup.
"Wait, You don't need to do this for me. I can do it all by myself. Even it is very nice of you." Snow White gently tried to deny Hiccup help.
"Look you are clearly still tired. And if you carry this huge bag in your state. You will get hurt. So let me carry it for you. Like that, you can take some rest." proposed Hiccup.
"Are you sure? You could get yourself hurt. Because the bag is pretty big and heavy." said Snow White with worry in her voice as she secretly inspects Hiccup's slim body.
"Don't worry, I might be thin. But I think I can handle this bag. I used to lift stuff that is heavier. Plus, I still think it's kind of my fault that you have fallen. So please let me give you a hand." Hiccup once again insists to help Snow White showing her a kind smile.
Hearing our hero, Snow White remains silent while looking down at her feet to hide her red flushed cheeks. Embarrassed that Hiccup was indeed right on the fact that she is too exhausted now to continue to carry the huge bag of flour.
"But I don't want to take you your time." Snow White tried to refuse his help one more time.
"That is alright. I only got one small stuff to do but that can wait. So what do you say? Will you accept my reasonable help or not." said Hiccup.
Hearing Hiccup gives another reason to help, the girl stares now at him without saying a word for a few seconds. Until she broke it with a small sigh as she finally accepted the boy's help.
"Very well thank you, that's quite kind of you. But will you manage to do it with this satchel of yours." said Snow White glancing at Hiccup's bag.
"You may have a point. How about you hold it. It is small and not heavy." said Hiccup as he passed his bag to the girl.
"I do like this idea. And thank you for your kind help." thanked Snow White before She takes Hiccup's satchel.
"You are welcome. All right then we better get going." Hiccup smiled back at her as he picks up the bag of flour and put it on his shoulder. He then looked at the girl to ask her for the direction.
"So where do you want me to bring this bag?" asked Hiccup.
"To the castle, I hope that is not too much for you." responded Snow White while pointing in direction of the town castle.
"No at all, actually I was also going to the castle today." smiled Hiccup.
"Really?" asked Snow White as she looks Hiccup with surprise on her face.
"Yes, I was about to go over there to do a delivery." explained Hiccup.
"Well, it is lucky that we are going to the same place." said Snow White.
"I guess it is. Come on we should be going now." said Hiccup while Snow White nodded in agreement.
"Indeed you are right. Oh yes silly me. Where my manners, my name is Snow White." said Snow White as she introduces herself.
"Nice to meet you, My name is Harold. And I have to say you do have a nice name." said Hiccup before smacking his forehead against the bag he is holding and murmuring the word idiot to himself. While the girl blushes as she glances to her right to hide them.
"Thank you Harold." murmured Snow White enough for only the boy to hear.
And with that, They begin to move in direction of the castle of the city. Hiccup follows Snow White since she knows the place.
While having a nice conversation as they walk to their destination. The two are unaware that they are being watched by an amusing Xavier. The blacksmith was watching from the window of his forge all interactions between the two young people that had just happened.
Later at the castle.
Arriving at the castle, Hiccup and Snow White find themselves in front of its gate who has two guards in armure guarding the entrance.
"Hello there," Snow White speaks first to the guards.
"Hello, lady Snow White, it's good to see you back. And I see that you got yourself some help." one of the guards greets the scullery maiden as he and the other guard look at her and the boy was following her. While Hiccup puts the bag of flour on the ground next to him.
"Yes, it was very nice of him. I am lucky that he was coming to the castle today." said Snow White before she turned her attention to Hiccup smiling at him.
"It was nothing, I am glad to help." Hiccup blushed because of the compliment from the girl and the attention he get from the three people present.
"Is that so? May I ask your name and your purpose to be here? Because I don't recognize you?" asked the guard while giving Hiccup a suspicious look.
"My name is Harold and the fact you don't know me, Sir. It is because this is the first time I am coming here. And for the purpose of my presence is that I am here to deliver an object from the forge of mister Xavier. For a client here in the castle." Hiccup explained the reason why he is here.
"Mmmh, I would like to see the object you must deliver." politely ordered the guard.
"Of course sir." said Hiccup before he turns his attention to Snow White.
"Uh, Snow White. May I have my satchel back, please?" asked Hiccup.
"Oh yes, sorry Harold." apologized Snow White as she gives back the satchel to its owner.
Having his satchel back, Hiccup takes out the chest of his satchel and shows the object to the men that are guarding the gate.
"Hmmm, this chest seems legit. But you need to wait here for a little while I check inside with my superior." explained the guard.
"Of course, I can wait." Hiccup accepted the guard's instruction.
The guard then turns his attention to Snow White giving her a small smile on his face.
"You on the other hand. You can go inside since you work and live here. And I will carry the bag for you as we are both going in." said the guard as in his turn pick up the big bag of flour.
"Thank you, sir" the girl thanked the armure man.
"No problem, I am just happy to help." replied the smiling guard. As the guard pick the bag his colleague went to him and whisper something.
"Hey, what about the order about not helping her?" the other guard whispered to the other guard's ear.
"I will say I misunderstood the order. And honestly, I don't care. this order is stupid and unfair" simply replied the first guard before he starts to walk inside while carrying the big of flour.
While the guard starts to move inside, Snow White stays a little bit longer as she turns her attention to Hiccup smiling at him.
"Thank you Harold for helping me today. It was very nice to meet you." thanked Snow White.
"You are welcome. I am also glad to know you. I do hope to see you again." smiled Hiccup.
"So do I." replied Snow White who is smiling back at our hero.
Before she leaves, Snow White does something bold and went to Hiccup, giving him a small peck on the cheek.
"Goodbye Hiccup and thank you. See you around." said Snow before she in her turn goes inside the castle. Leaving a stunned Hiccup whose face is turning red.
With Snow White gone, the guard that has stayed behind saw the all thing that happened. Look at our hero with amusement and a little bit of envy because Hiccup got a small kiss from the most beautiful girl in the kingdom.
A moment later the guard that has gone inside comes back and begins speaking to Hiccup.
"Alright kid, I spoke with the captain and he informed me that I had to take you to the castle courtyard. Normally, someone over there will be here and guide you afterward. But before we go. Do you have any weapons on you? Because if you do. You must leave it here. You know for security protocols." the guard explained to Hiccup who nodded his head to say that he accepts the condition that was given to him.
"Of course. Here, I only got a dagger with me." said Hiccup as he passes his only dagger to the guard that will stay at the gate.
"Don't worry you will get it back when it is time for you to leave the castle." Guard reassure our Hero.
"Thank you." smiled Hiccup.
"Just doing our work. Now come on kid, We haven't got all day." said the guard before he starts to move past the gate again with Hiccup following him this time.
(Change of scene)
Later, finding themselves in the courtyard of the castle. Hiccup and the guard are standing next to the fountain that is in the middle of the courtyard. Both silently waiting in front of the main door that leads inside of the donjon. As they wait for someone to arrive to take Hiccup and the chest.
Sensing the silence between the two, the guard decides to start a conversation to pass the time.
"So Kid, I have forgotten but what is your name again?" asked the man.
"My name is Harold, sir." Hiccup gives his false name.
"Oh, that is why I heard that name before. You are that kid who works for Xavier." said the guard causing Hiccup to look at the guard with his eyebrow high.
"Yes, that me. I am actually surprised that you heard of me." said Hiccup.
"Don't be surprised, Xavier Forge has now a pretty good reputation. Because apparently, his new employee in the name of Harold forged the best metal tools and weapons in town. While keeping prices reasonable. I'm surprised about that because the only metal ore you can get is from Stromboli. And it is expensive and crap." said the guard.
"Actually we don't buy the mineral from Stromboli." replied Hiccup.
"Really?" asked The man surprised at what he had just heard.
"Yes, we get what we need from miners who have a local metal mine in the area. But I can't tell you who they are for their safety." explained Hiccup.
"That is understandable certainly if it has to do with that annoyed Stromboli." nodded the guard.
"Yeah, I met him once. And I have to say this man is awful. I heard rumors of him doing illegal activities and that he is the cause of most of the poverty in this city." frowned Hiccup.
"These rumors are true, kid. He is using extortion and intimidation against the others store owner and other businesses to bend them to him." also frowned the guard.
"And you guys do nothing against it? What about the ruler of these lands?" asked Hiccup with a little bit of anger in his voice.
"It's not that I don't want to go against the man. If I can I would. But Stromboli has too much influence in the city. And if I did go after him, I would put my wife and kids in danger. And the other guards wouldn't because either they are scared or they are under his boost since they got paid by him. That fat bastard even tried to do the same thing with me but I refuse because I got some honor in myself. (Then he approached our hero to whisper into his ears) And as for the ruler. Queen Ingrid does nothing because she thinks it doesn't concern her. But don't say that out loud if you want to continue to live." warned the guard.
"Thank but I also heard that he paid bandits and pirates to attack the convoys that belong to his concurrences," said Hiccup.
"You know I wouldn't be surprised if Stromboli associated himself with pirates or Bandits." the guard frowned.
"If that is the case, Do you know any information on them?" asked Hiccup.
"Not a lot. But the only things I know. That there is only one group of bandits hidden in the forest near the city and that there is one pirate crew under the command of a captain the name of Hook. You know if someone takes down these two groups, Stromboli's business would be hit pretty hard. But let's be honest that not gonna happen." said The guard.
"Yeah, you are probably right." frowned Hiccup. But in his head, he begins to plan to do something about it.
Seeing Hiccup's frowning expression, the guard decides to change the subject to light up the mood.
"Know you, I may say it again. But that was nice of you to help Snow White earlier today." said the guard.
"It was no problem. Because it was the right thing to help someone nice like her." said Hiccup.
"Of course she is. Snow White is one of the nicest people in town. I would even say in the kingdom. And also one of the most beautiful." said the Guard.
"Yes, I have to admit she indeed is." mumbled Hiccup with his cheek getting red a little bit. Causing the guard to chuckle in amusement. Then Hiccup realizes something about the girl. He asks the man a question.
"Sir, there is something I mean to ask. Why was she carrying this huge bag of flour alone? For something this big, It would be easier if there was another person to accompany and help her?" asked Hiccup.
"To be honest, kid. I don't know the reason. But I do know that the order was given by the higher up. And this is not the only bag she will have to carry today." explained the guard.
"Really? In that case, where is she right now? I can help her carry the rest of the bags." asked Hiccup as he glance around.
"Sorry kid but look like she has already left the castle by now." guessed the guard.
"Oh, man. It's a shame, I could have gone with her to help. Oh, well, I may have the possibility to help her. If I see her later again today." said Hiccup.
"She would certainly appreciate that." said the guard. Then the man glances at Hiccup's guitar and decides to ask about it.
"I see that you have a guitar." said the guard as he continues to look at the boy's musical instrument.
"Yeah, It was given to me this morning by my boss Xavier," said Hiccup while also looking at the guitar.
"That is very nice of him. Do you know how to play it?" asked the guard.
"I do know how to play but only a little bit," said Hiccup being modest about himself.
"Is that so. Can you play a quick one?" asked the guard.
"Are you sure?" asked Hiccup little surprised by the man's request.
In response, the guard just silently nods his head to say our hero to do it. Seeing this, Hiccup went to the fountain of the courtyard to sit on its small wall that contains the water. He takes the guitar and adjusts its cordes before he begins to play.
Yesterday (I don't own it)
Yesterday
all my troubles seemed so far away.
Now it looks as though they're here to stay.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be.
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go?
I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong.
Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday
love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hideaway.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Why she had to go?
I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong.
Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday
love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hideaway.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.
When he finished his song. Hiccup looks at the guard, his eyes widening as he sees that he and the guard are not alone anymore. Noticing that they are now surrounded by a couple of servants that were watching him playing the song. All silently smiling at what they just heard.
Suddenly, one of the servants begins to gently clap his hands to applaud the boy. Then more people start to follow the servant's action, all are applauding Hiccup for the nice song he just sang. Causing Hiccup to blush and smile while scratching the back of his head with the attention he is getting from the unexpected audience.
As the applause continues, the guard begins to complement our hero. "Damn Kid, that was amazing. How did you learn to sing like that?"
"I learned how to do it at home. But I not that good." simply responded Hiccup.
"Not that good? My child, this is one of the most amazing songs I have ever heard in my life. Sad that Snow White is not here. She would love to hear you sing." said a woman servant.
"She would?" asked Hiccup.
"Of course, she would. The girl even loves to sing. She has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. Sad she is shy about her talent." said the woman.
"This is true about the girl. But Ingrid is right, you have the voice for singing. It is so good. I bet the nobles that live in the region would certainly pay huge money for you to sing for them at their fancy party." said another servant.
"Really?" said Hiccup not expecting this sort of compliment.
"Of course, I will even bet the queen would hire you for one of her parties she does in the castle." declared the guard while some of the servants or workers nod in agreement with him.
"I'm flattered but I am not a singer but a simple person that works at Mister Xavier forge." Hiccup denies the idea of him being hired to be a singer.
"Wait, you are the kid that works at Xavier that is named Harold." said another servant.
"Yes, that is me. I am here to do a delivery." said Hiccup while showing his bag that contains the wooden chest.
"Ah yes, that must be the item our queen Grimhilde ordered. Come with me, I'll take you to the throne room." said the servant gesturing at Hiccup and the guard to follow him.
"The one who ordered the chest was the Queen. Xavier is not gonna believe it." thought Hiccup in shock.
As the servant begins to enter the castle with Hiccup and the guard following him. They all knew they were being watched by two persons. One is a mysterious person that is looking down from her window situated on the first floor of the castle. The other is Snow White who has not yet left. With her being hidden behind the kitchen door. Both have listened to the amazing song that Hiccup has sung.
(change of scene)
Arrived at the throne room, They see that the room had no one present. Hiccup with one of his eyebrows raised, see across the room the throne which is made of gold with blue beads attached to it. Decorated with a relief of a peacock made in the same material on top of the throne.
"That is one hell of an ugly throne." thought Hiccup as he looks at the throne thinking that it is not for his taste. And its owner doesn't have any good ones.
"You will wait here, While I go to inform the queen that you have arrived." said the servant who was about to go the search of the queen. But he stops when a voice is spoken from behind them.
"That won't be necessary." interrupted a feminine voice that is coming from behind Hiccup and the two others who all jump in surprise and scare.
Hearing the voice, the three turn behind and see in front of them an icily beautiful woman with a serene, unfeeling face and a slender figure. She has pale skin, red lips, green eyes, and seemingly penciled-on eyebrows. The woman got a purple gown with long sleeves and a red rope belt tied around her waist and a black balaclava that covers her ears, neck, and hair, leaving her face exposed. A long black cloak that appears to be part of the cowl. The same cape is lined with a red interior and its bottom is lined with white fur. With a high white collar attached to her cloak.
The woman also got a golden pendant that seems to connect with the white-collar. She seems to be a person of royalty, as she wears on top of her head a golden crown with 5 spikes on the front and a jewel on the tip of the middle and the tallest spike.
Seeing her standing at the main entrance of the throne room, the guard and the servant immediately bow to her. Hiccup on in other hand looks confused at the woman wondering who is she. But the boy quickly stops what he was doing when he notices the guard and the servant's action. Hiccup decides to do the same and quickly bows in his turn at the woman that is in front of them.
"Your majesty." the guard and the servant greeted simultaneously their Queen who just look at them. Showing no emotion on her face.
"You may stand to your feet now." the queen gave permission to the three people in front of her to stand up.
Seeing them now standing on their feet, the queen moves to pass around the three towards her throne. While Hiccup and the two other men watch her move, never leaving her out of their sight.
Finally sitting on her throne, the queen starts to calmly address them with a tone that sends a chill to everyone's spine. "May I know your presence here?"
"Your majesty, we are here because this boy brought to you what you have ordered to the forge of mister Xavier." the servant explained their presence while pointing at Hiccup who holding the satchel.
"I see. May I have a look at the object." requested the queen as she look at Hiccup.
To her request, Hiccup moves to be in front of the queen, take out of his satchel the wooden chest and shows it to her. So she can have a good look. Certainly, the gold metal heart latch that is on it.
As she continues to stare at the chest, Hiccup is starting to be extremely nervous with sweat appearing on his forehead. Praying in his head that the work will be accepted by the Queen.
"Mmmh, the work looks good enough. You may say my thank you to your employer when you see him." said the Queen to Hiccup's relief.
"Thank you, your majesty. I will inform mister Xavier. He will appreciate it." Hiccup said his thank you as he bows his head to the queen.
"Of course, he will." said the queen in a non-interest tone before she turns her attention to the servant and the guard. Starting with the servant.
"You, servant. Take the chest and put it in my chamber. Then go to the vault to get the money and wait outside of this room. You will pass the amount to this young man for the work that has been done when he leaves. After this, you may leave and go back to your duty." The queen gives the order to the servant who bows his head to acknowledge it.
"Yes your majesty." replied the servant before taking the chest from Hiccup and leaving the room with it. As the servant leave the throne room, the queen now turns her attention to the guard.
"Guard, You will wait outside of this room. I need to speak to him alone for a moment." the queen orders the guard while looking at Hiccup who began to be nervous once again.
"Are you sure my Queen?" asked the guard surprised by the queen's request.
"Yes." harshly yet still calm in her voice replied the queen, glaring at the guard whose skin turn pale while taking a small step backward.
"As you wish my Queen." said the guard who quickly bow before leaving the room as fast he can. Leaving a shocked Hiccup alone with the queen.
Now alone with the ruler of the kingdom in the same room. As silence appears between the two. Noticing the queen looking at him, Hiccup quickly gets out of his shock state and breaks the silence.
"Is there something wrong your majesty?" asked Hiccup as he bowed his head toward the sitting Queen. For the purpose to avoid the queen's gaze.
"No there is nothing wrong. But may I have your name, boy?" asked the queen.
"My name is Harold no last name. But if I may ask, why do you wish to speak to me?" asked Hiccup still intimidated by the presence she is imposing.
"Let's just say that I am a curious person." simply replied the Queen.
"Curious?" said Hiccup who is now confused.
"Yes, You see. I have recently heard rumors in the city about a young man who is working for Xavier. A young blacksmith of incredible talent. The rumors said that every time customers go to Xavier's forge. They always say that this same employee crafts the best swords or tools they have ever seen and wield. So good it would put the other blacksmiths jalouse. May I ask? Did you do the latch that is on the chest? I have ordered?" asked the queen.
"No, it was mister Xavier who has done most of the work. I only did the detail because of my small hands. But may I have permission to ask a question?" asked Hiccup before giving a gulp of his saliva in his throat.
"You may." the queen gave permission while doing a small gesture with her hand.
"Why did you choose us to do the job? I asking this because you could have chosen any other blacksmiths in town to do the work. You could have even taken the possibility to buy an all-made chest from one of the merchants like Mister Stromboli." Hiccup said his question.
Hearing this, the queen stays quiet on her throne, looking emotionless at the boy that is standing in front of her.
"Crap, crap! Did I upset her?!" Hiccup starts to panic in his head as he sees the queen is still showing no emotion on her visage.
The ruler on her throne continues to do so until she responds to Hiccup's question.
"There are many reasons why I have chosen the forge that you are working for which I not going to tell all of them. Because I have my own reason. But since I may need of your service again in the future. I guess I reveal to you some. The reason why is that I wanted something precise. Something the merchants did not manage to get the object that I wanted. Even sir Stromboli who is a man loyal to me has proposed articles that did not satisfy me. And then I turned toward the blacksmiths to see if they can make what I wanted. And even they couldn't satisfy what I desire. Then, of course, I heard of your forge and its new reputation. So in curiosity, I took the decision to hire your service. And it was the right decision because your forge managed to make the object that I desire. Does this answer satisfy your curiosity, Boy? " The queen explained her reason while narrowing her eyes toward Hiccup. Who flinches at her gaze.
"Of course your majesty." Hiccup quickly nodded to say yes. While he panics in his head. "By the gods, this woman is terrifying!"
"Good, now it is my turn to ask you a question." said the queen.
"What is it, your majesty?" asked Hiccup.
"Earlier today, when I was in my chamber near the window. I hear someone singing a likable song outside in the courtyard. So I wonder if it was you who have sung." wondered the Queen.
"Yes, it was me who has sung. I am sorry if I have disturbed your moment." excused Hiccup as he bows his head again to apologize.
"Apology accepted but in return, there is something I want you to do for me." said The queen.
"What is it your majesty?" asked Hiccup wondering what is the queen going to request.
"Sing." The queen ordered her request. Causing our hero to be stunned by it.
"You want me to sing?" asked Hiccup while looking at the queen with wide eyes.
"Yes, I want you to sing for me a song. A small one without an instrument." said the Queen.
"You really want me to sing?" Hiccup asked once again.
"Do you refuse to obey your Queen." said the Queen with narrowing eyes at Hiccup who flinch a little.
"Of course not. It just I don't know why you want me to do it?" said Hiccup.
"I don't need to tell a reason for my request. So, do you have a small song for me?" said the queen. Not liking the boy to question her request.
"Actually, yes, I do have a small one. I need a minute to fully remember it." said Hiccup as he starts to remember a song in his head.
As the minutes pass with Hiccup still looking for all lyrics of the song in his head. The ruler starts to get impatient and speaks again.
"Come on, I do not have all day." said the Queen with an irritated tone in her voice.
"Sorry, Your majesty." apologized Hiccup before he takes a deep breath to prepare and to calm himself. And with that, he begins to sing a song he just remembers.
Edge Of Night (I don't own the song.)
Home is behind
The world ahead
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows
To the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight
Mist and shadow
Cloud and shade
All shall fade
All shall fade
When he finishes his song, Hiccup returns his attention to the Queen. Waiting for her to react as he sees that she still looking impassively at him. All of sudden, the visage of the queen change as she emits a tiny smile.
"Well done. This small song of yours is quite nice to listen to." simply compliment the queen while resting her chin on her hand while posing the elbow of her arm on the armrest of her throne.
"Why thank you. Your majesty. If there something else?" thanked Hiccup.
"No, You may leave now. The servant will be waiting outside of this room to give you your payment for the service of your forge. And tell your employer that I will soon ask him for his service again." said the queen still using her uninteresting tone in her voice.
"Thank you, your majesty. I will pass on the message to him. He will be happy to hear this." said Hiccup giving a smile to the Queen.
"I am sure he will. Goodbye." said the queen who rolled her eyes before she narrowed them again causing Hiccup to re-flinch a little and to have his head bow again.
"Goodbye, your majesty, and have a good day to you." Hiccup quickly replied his goodbye with his head still down to the queen before he starts to walk fast out of the throne room.
"Mhmm." The queen does not say anything as she watches our hero leave the room then she changes her small smile to a darker one as Hiccup was out of her sight.
When Hiccup was finally gone, the queen waits on her throne for a moment before she decides to get up from her throne and start to walk in her turn toward the same exit of the room.
(change of scene)
Later at her chamber, the queen then moves toward a big mirror that is stuck to the wall adorned in gold decoration. Now in front of it, the queen extends both her arms toward and begins to recite a summoning spell.
Slave in the Magic Mirror, comes from the farthest space.
As she speaks, the image of winds starts to blow fiercely inside the mirror.
Through wind and darkness, I summon thee. Speak!
A thunderclap sounds and a wildfire consumes her reflection in the mirror.
Let me see thy face.
The fire subsides, revealing the face of the mirror's an imprisoned spirit resembling a theatrical mask, surrounded by smoke and fire. Eagerly but patiently awaiting whatever questions the one who summons him.
"What I am to serve, my Queen?" spoke the slave spirit.
"Magic Mirror on the wall, tell me the one who works at Xavier forge. Named Harold with no last name." The queen demands her question with a smile on her face.
With Hiccup.
After leaving town. Hiccup went home to rest for a bit to then go to the forest to cut some woods for the rest of the afternoon. At the end of the day when the dwarves and dragons come back from their mining activity of the day. We see Hiccup seating at the table with dwarves having their meal. While the dragons are outside watching them from the window. Telling each other what they have done today.
"You have spoken to the queen ?!" all the dwarves exclaimed simultaneously in shock at what Hiccup just told them about him and the Queen.
"Yeah, apparently she was the one who has made the order." explained Hiccup before taking a sip of the glass of water he is holding.
"I just can't believe you have spoken to Queen Grimhilde. That must be quite intense. Being with her in the same room." said Doc with wide eyes.
"What is she look like? I heard that she is the beautiful woman in the kingdom." asked Bashful.
"Do be honest, she scares me." replied Hiccup.
"What do you mean she scares you?" asked Happy.
"The thing is that when I saw her. I feel that I am in danger and I should run as fast as I can." explained Hiccup.
"Really?" asked Sneezy.
"Yes, I had the weird feeling that she wanted something from me and she would kill me If I refuse any things from her." said Hiccup.
"Mmmmh, trouble indeed. It is better if she doesn't find out about the dragons. Or we all will be in danger for sure." frowned Doc while the others nodded in agreement.
"And for her beauty. Well, I can see why people tell that she is beautiful. But too honest with me, she is not the most beautiful." said Hiccup.
"Why are you saying that?" asked Bashful.
"Because I have seen better." Hiccup mumbled while blushing as he thinks about the girls he meets in his life. Life Astrid, Elsa, and the girl named Snow White who he just meet today.
"It's that so? Who for example?" asked Doc with a teasing smile as he and the other dwarves noticed our hero blushing face.
"Not going to tell you." said Hiccup knowing that they are going to tease him even more about this.
"I bet it is a girl he meets earlier in town today." guessed Happy.
"That is great Hiccup. You got yourself a girlfriend. I bet she is beautiful." exclaimed Bashful. Happily raising both his arms into the air.
"Wait a minute! She and I are just friends." exclaimed Hiccup then he widens his eyes when he realized what he said. "Oh, crap basket."
"So it is indeed a girl from town!" said Doc putting a bigger smile on his face.
"Oh, our boy finally growing into a man!" exclaimed Happy. Making everyone laugh, even the dragons outside as they were listening to the conversation. The only one that didn't laugh was Hiccup whose face turns red in embarrassment. Feeling that he got busted.
"You guys are really annoying." grumbled Hiccup as he gets up from his chair to go to his room to change his outfit. While the other continues to laugh.
Minutes later, Hiccup came out of his room wearing a different outfit. Which consists of an all-black outfit with a black hood and a black bandana around his neck to be used as a mask. The outfit also got dark brown colored leather plates which are found on the forearms, shins, and shoulders.
He is equipped with a dagger attached to the armure of one of his forearms and several smaller daggers and a medium-size sword on his belt. Both were made at Xavier's forge by him. He also possesses a small crossbow that is attached to his back. He bought it in town a while back with a bag of arrows with it.
"Ok, I am going out with Toothless for our night flight. We will be back late so don't wait for us." Hiccup declared his attention to everyone in the room.
"You going to investigate about the wolves that attacked us?" said Doc as he and the others see Hiccup's weapons and outfit.
"Yes, I am. I need to know where these wolves are coming from. Because the fact that they have tattoos on them shows that they are indeed being half-domesticated by someone. And if they're there. Those guys would definitely have more wolves with them. They need to be found and stopped," Hiccup said the reason why he is doing it.
"But what if you got yourself in danger?" said Bashful with worry in his voice.
"Don't worry guys. You know that this is not the first time that I have conducted these investigations. Besides, I have Toothless and Sharpshoot with me." Hiccup reassures the dwarves as Sharpshoot lands on his shoulder and Toothless shows up at the open entrance to the house.
"(sigh) That is true but be careful alright. We don't know what can happen." said Doc while giving a serious look.
"I will." replied our dragon rider.
"See you later Hiccup have a safe flight and have a great time with your new girlfriend if you see her." said Doc now with a teasing tone in his voice again. While the others laugh again.
"You guys are idiots." grumbled Hiccup as he walked toward the door that leads outside. Hiccup rolls his eyes as he sees Toothless and the other dragons also laughing at him.
"Sneaky come here. I need you to do something for me." Hiccup calls Sneaky. Causing the little magenta dragon to move toward the rider. Now in front of him, Hiccup bent to one knee to the nearly same level that the terrible terror. And take out of the pocket of his coat an envelope that has a letter in it.
"Alright, Sneaky. Do you remember Elsa? You know, the girl that lives in Arendelle." Hiccup asked Sneaky who responds with a squeaky sound to say yes.
"Good because I promised her that I will write to her. Look I know that is far from here. But could you bring this letter to her? Because you are the only one that is discrete enough to pass everywhere. So can you do it?" Asked Hiccup once again.
Hearing the human request the little dragon responds once again with a yes. Causing Hiccup to smile happy to hear the positive response.
"Thanks, Sneaky that means a lot." said Hiccup before he attaches the message to the little dragon's back. Hiccup then turns his attention to Toothless.
"Come on Toothless and Sharpshoot. We have a flight to do." said Hiccup as he climbs on the black dragon's back. And with that, they all start to fly away from the home of the dwarves. While Sneaky also flies away in a different direction toward Arendelle.
Later still with Hiccup.
Hours later, when the sun was finally gone and replaced by the night sky. We see Hiccup on Toothless back flying with Sharpshoot flying above the forest for some time. But after many hours of search, they couldn't find any clues about their objectives as they didn't find other wolves or other things that would lead them to what they wanted.
"Bud, Look like there is nothing in this area. I think we have done enough for tonight. Better we go back home because it is getting late." said Hiccup as he looks at a map he is holding. Marking a cross mark on it on the area they have just been. With Toothless growl in agreement. All of a sudden they are all startled when they hear the screaming help of a girl.
"Hiiiiii, Help !" the scream echoed through the forest.
"Guys! Look like someone is in danger! Come on Bud there's no time to lose!" yelled Hiccup. Hearing his rider, Toothless nods his head before he emits an echolocation roar to locate the person in danger. After he locates it the dragon begins to descend at full speed toward the woods. With Sharphoot following him and Hiccup.
With Snow White. (a few minutes before.)
After deposing the bag of flour at the castle with Hiccup's help. Snow White continues to do her work as she went out outside of the city to get more bags of flour on her own. As the day go by, the girl continues to move flours bags between the mill that is situated outside the city and the castle. At nightfall, Snow White was still traveling through the woods toward the city with the last bag a smaller one she was asked for. All of a sudden the girl screamed when she is ambushed by five bandits who came out of nowhere. With the attention to harm her.
"Well, well, what do we have here boys. A small cute bird. All by her own." said one of the bandits, showing a nasty smirk on his face while the other two laughed at his remarque.
"Oh no! This can't be happening!" Snow White yelled in her head as she looks in horror at the five terrifying men that are surrounding her.
"I bet many people would pay a lot of money to have their fun with her body." declared one of the other five bandits. Giving eyes of lust at Snow White while the other men nodded in agreement.
"Alright, little girl. First, you will let go of this bag you are holding. Then you are will be coming with us. Willing or not." the bandit ordered the innocent what she must do.
"Or else you gonna be in pain." warned the other bandit.
"And you certainly don't want to get hurt." also declared the one while showing a dagger, pointing it toward the frightened girl.
"Please don't! Leave me alone!" pleaded the scared girl as she let go of the bag of flour and took one step backward.
"Yeah that is not going to happen, girly." replied the third bandit also showing his rusty blade.
"Alright boys, I got an idea. How about we have some fun before we take her with us to the boat." suggested the bandit who emits a nasty smirk. The other four nodded again in agreement while chuckling darkly.
As they move toward the girl with dark attention. Snow White who is in tears tries to run away. But couldn't do it as she panics and tripped herself backward. Hurting her ankle in the process.
"Oh no! Somebody, please help me !" Snow White screamed in her head with her eyes close as tears flowed from them. Losing hope that somebody will come to help her while holding her hurt ankle.
All of sudden, everyone stops where they are as they all hear the roar of a beast echoing through the woods.
"What the hell was that!?" yelled one of the bandits while all three looked around to search where this roar is coming from. Except for Snow White who still has her eyes closed fear to open them.
The other bandit was about the yell something but he is interrupted when they all see a small ball of purple-colored flames appear. Descending really fast toward the group to then explode when it hit the ground between the bandits and Snow White. Creating a blast strong enough to knock the bandits off their feet. Temporarily blinding them by its exploding purple light and smoke.
When the smoke and light died out. The bad guys return to their sens, the Five men turn their attention in front as they hear the sound of moving wings.
All their eyes widen in shock as they see a black dragon landing where the purple fire was. With a masked person on the back of the creature. Creating a heavy tension between the two groups. With Toothless growling at the bandits. And Hiccup glaring at the enemies. While the bandits are either scared or glare back at our heroes. As the tension goes on, Hiccup gets out of Toothless back and moves toward the enemies. Unleashing his sword off its scabbard while still glaring at them.
With the unwanted guest moving toward them, one of the bandits not thinking straight charges toward Hiccup. Seeing this our hero quickly reacts by swinging his sword to intercept the bandit's weapon.
As the fight begins, Snow White who still has her eyes closed begins to come to her senses after the small explosion happened. She starts to hear the clash of blades and the growling of a beast. As she hears them and even in fear Snow White wants to know what is going on. So the girl takes courage to herself and stood up to her feet. She then opens her eyes to see what is happening. But her courage leaves her when she sees with wide eyes, masked individual fighting against one of the bandits.
But what is it that really shocks her in fear, is the presence of a huge-scale dark beast. A winged creature standing on his four limbs growling at the other two bandits. The girl is so scared that she is not able to run away, paralyzed at what she sees.
"What is happening?! What is that thing!?" Snow White yelled in her head.
Returning to the fight as Hiccup continues to be busy against the one he is fighting against, the other two bandits glare at Toothless who the dragon glares back at them. All armed and ready to attack. Not wanting to stand there any longer one of the bandits begins the fight by charging while lifting his sword toward the dragon.
"Aaaaaahhhh!" screamed the charging bandit in rage.
In response, Toothless counters the man attacker by swinging his tail to hit the bandit. Sending him a few meters away from the dragon, landing behind the bushes in the darkness. Done with his action, Toothless return his attention to the three remaining enemies glaring and growling at them.
Back with Hiccup, we see that our hero is still fighting against the first bandit. With difficulty as the bandit is three-time bigger than him.
Struggling with his sword against the enemy blade, Hiccup makes a risky move. First, he ceases the contact between the weapons by moving himself to the right. Causing the bad guy to be surprised as he falls forward.
Taking his chance as he sees the larger man falling. Hiccup managed to grab the bandit's head and smashes its face really hard against his knee. Which results in the man being extremely in pain with a bloody broken nose. Hiccup then let go of the man to then hit the back of the head with the bottom of his blade. Knocking out the bandit in the process.
With his enemy now knockout, Hiccup turns his attention toward the rest of the bandits who are looking at him in shock. While Toothless still glares at the three men.
"Leave this place or harsh consequences will get to you." Hiccup warned the remaining enemies. Pointing his weapon toward them.
Looking between the armed dragon rider and the huge dark beast growling at them. One of the bandits lets go of his weapon and runs away. Seeing that are two left, Hiccup look at Toothless and gives his best friend an order.
"Toothless." Hiccup gives the order.
Hearing this, Toothless shoots another small plasma blast at the ground in front of the remaining two men. Who jumps backward in fear.
"Do let me repeat myself. And take your friend with you." Hiccup glared and warned them once again. While pointing to the unconscious bandit with his sword.
Not wanting to stay any longer, the two last bandits in their turn let go of their weapons and pick up the unconscious fellow criminal. Before running away.
When they are gone, Hiccup and Toothless catch their breath. Relieved that they managed to deal with their enemies. But this does not last as they jump and quickly turn behind when they hear Snow White scream.
Turning behind, the two heroes see wide eyes a petrified Snow White as she is held against her will by the bandit who has a small knife toward her throat. The same bandit that Toothless has hit and thrown him behind the bushes with his tail. Has sneaked around and went to take Snow White hostage as she was alone and too focused on the fight. Too scared to move.
"Alright chap, if you don't want this girl to get hurt. Let go of your weapon and tell fucking thing of a beast to back off." warned the bandit as he presses his knife a little bit more at his hostage's neck.
Hearing the order and having no choice, Hiccup dropped his weapon and silently motioned to Toothless to back away. The dragon obeys and slowly moves backward while glaring at the bandit.
"Good now, you are going to have your hand up. And let us go. And you or your beast don't dare follow us. Or she will get it!" yelled the man pointing his weapon toward Hiccup. Before he refocuses his weapon on the girl.
As the situation has just gone to the worst. Unknown to the bad guy and the girl, Hiccup's expression begins to change as he starts to smile behind his mask. Noticing that behind the bandit and the girl the presence of Sharpshoot whose head is popping out of the bushes. Looking at each other, Hiccup and the little green quickly understood what they must do.
Hiccup quickly returns his attention to the bandit and glares at him for a few more seconds before he starts to put his risky plan into action.
"Sharpshoot!" Hiccup starts to give The terrible green terror the order by yelling his name.
And with this, everything starts to heat up as Sharpshot jumps out of his hiding place and spits his fire at the back of the bandit who starts to scream in panic. Causing him to let go of his knife and brutally push the girl he was holding hostage. She gets knocked out when she hit the ground with her head.
Seeing this, Hiccup takes the occasion to take out his charged crossbow and fire an arrow that pierced the evil man's right arm. Injuring the enemy in the process.
Being hit to the arm, the bandit holds it in pain trying to stop the bleeding. He was so focused on his injury. The man does not see Toothless charging at him. Tackling the bandit to the ground.
Now being held to the ground the bandit forgets about his wound and lookup to see with fear Toothless growling and glaring at him. The dragon shows his sharp teeth and mouth glowing purple to show that he is ready to fire again. With the last bandit planted to the ground, Hiccup moves toward the man.
"Listen to me. Like I said to your friends, leave or harsh consequences will get to you. But before you leave you gonna answer some question of mine! And I will not accept no as an answer." Hiccup warned. Glaring at the man that is forced held on the ground. Planting his foot on the man's wounded arm.
"Yes! yes! I will tell you everything! Please stop hurting me!" yelled the man in pain.
"Do you and your friends are the ones that have released wolves with the tattoo of a hook hand on them?" Hiccup said his first question.
"Yes, we are the one that has released them! So they attack the traveler and merchants!" quickly responded the Bandit.
"And by who order?!" demanded Hiccup wanting to know the identity of the one responsible.
"I can't! if I tell you who is my boss! I am good as dead!" yelled the man with fear in his voice.
"Don't care if you are scared or not! Because If I am you, I will tell. Because right now you have a better chance to survive with your boss than my friend who's holding you down to the ground." frowned Hiccup while Toothless growled even more at the man being held to the ground.
Hearing this and realizing the situation he is in right now. The ground bandit quickly changes his mind and begins to speak.
"The man I am working for is mister Stromboli. He was the one who ordered us to release these wolves. So they will attack the convoys of his commercial rival." yelled the bandit.
"And where do he get these wolves?" demanded Hiccup.
"He brought them from a pirate named Captain Hook. Like I said he is a pirate that Mister Stromboli has made many deals with." the terrified bandit revealed more information.
"What sort of deals?" Hiccup narrows his eyes.
"I don't know the full details. I only know that Mister Stromboli gives the captain the information and date of competitor ships that will come near the coast of Casterly Rock. In exchange for a big percentage of the profit that Mister Stromboli made! I swear that the truth!" yelled the bandit who still trembling with fear.
From the bandit's answer, Hiccup continues to glare at him for a minute before he turns his attention to Toothless. Silently order the dragon to get off of the bandit he was pinning down. Which the fire-breathing reptile does, leaving the bandit to get up to his feet.
"Leave before I change my mind. And I would suggest that you leave this region and never come back. Because if I ever see again, death will come to you." Hiccup warned the bandit one last time. While Toothless and Sharpshot growl and glare at the enemy.
"Thank you, thank you. I swear you will never see me again!" declared the man before he runs away.
"Certainly with the wound you have." Hiccup thought, feeling sorry that the man may die of an infection from the wound on his arm that was hit by Hiccup's arrow earlier.
With the last enemy finally gone, Hiccup rushes toward the unconscious Snow White to see if she is alright.
"Thank the gods, she is still breathing. And looks like there is no injury. Well except for her ankle which has a little swelling. A bandage with ointment will be enough to help deflate the ankle." said Hiccup before he went to the satchel that is on Toothless. Taking what he needs for Snow White's ankle.
Done with Snow White's ankle. First, our hero takes the bag of flour and puts it on Toothless back. He then went to the rescued girl and gently pick her up bridal style before coming toward his dragon. Now on Toothless back while still holding the unconscious girl. Hiccup begins to address his dragon.
"Alright, bud. I know it is not what we plan but we need to drop Snow White at the castle. Sharpshot goes back home and rests you deserve it. Don't worry, we will be quick." said Hiccup while the dragons growl in agreement.
And with that, they start flying up with Sharpshot flying toward the dwarves' home while Toothless goes toward the city to the castle with Hiccup and Snow White on his back.
Later at The castle of Casterlery Rock.
Now flying above the castle hidden by the dark night sky. Hiccup looks down to find the castle's empty courtyard. Seeing the place's absence of people, they fly down to land in the courtyard in front of the door that leads into the castle kitchen. Landing in the yard, Hiccup goes down of his dragon while being careful not to let go of the girl that he is holding.
He then walks toward the door with Toothless following him to gently depose Snow White putting her back against the wall next to the closed door.
Completing his first task, Hiccup walked over to the black dragon and pick up the sack of flour to drop it next to the unconscious girl. He then returned to Toothless to pick up the blanket he was using when he was camping. To gently cover Snow White to keep her warm.
Hiccup gently smiles at the girl as he adjusts the blanket on her. He then turns his attention to the door and bangs several times with his fist. Before he runs toward his best friend. So they fly away from the place, leaving Snow White. Knowing that she is now indeed safe.
Flying away, Hiccup glance behind and see the lights in the castle lighting up with the door that Snow White was deposed opening up. Reveals one of the servants rushing toward the girl while calling for help.
"I hope that she is going to be alright." said Hiccup as he and Toothless continue to fly back home.
