Also, I am gonna bring out a special surprise, which is gonna be Henry's dragon, hence the name of the chapter. I think you all are gonna be surprise or whatever your reaction upon reading this chapter and I think this is the first time this dragon gonna appear in a httyd fanfic...unless someone else did it.

Meanwhile, while we were searching out for the Night Fury, a familiar Viking chief was busy discussing his other viking brethren about the events of the last dragon raid that occurred early in the morning. They all were at the Great Hall, and surprisingly, he wasn't wrong on how grand it was.

"Either we finish them, or they'll finish us! It's the only way we'll be rid of them!" Stoick yelled, planting a dagger on the end of the map that shows all of the Archipelago. "If we find the nest and destroy it, the dragons will leave. They'll find another home! One more search. Before the ice sets in."

"Those ships never come back." One of the viking crowds stated.

"We're Vikings! It's an occupational hazard!" Stoick retorted. "Now who's with me?"

However, nobody seemed to agree with this plan considering that the many Vikings that ever tried to find the Dragon's island never came back, either went missing or dead.

"Today's not a good for me."

"I've gotta do my axe returns." The crowd murmured.

"Hmph! Alright..." Stoick let out a sigh before coming up with an idea. "Those who stay will look after Hiccup."

That seemed to gotten everyone's attention as they all raised their hands in the air while there was one member in the group that scowled disappointingly towards the chief's offer. She wore an armor that was similar to a knight, the armor was dark grey and her chest and torse was covered with armor while arms were covered with small segmented piece of armor on each of her upper arms and wore golden boots and had a red cape that reaches over her legs. Her hair was blonde with red tips at the end and held a spear and whip in her arms.

"To the ships!" Phelga shouted.

"I'm with you Stoick!" Spitelout agreed. Stoick nodded with a smile and said "That's more like it."

With that, the whole crowd began to disperse and went to prepare for their little trip but Stoick, Gobber, who was sitting down on a nearby table drinking some apple cider and the blonde hair stayed behind.

"Right, I'll pack my undies." Gobber said, letting out a burp.

"I'll never question why you like saying it aloud." The blonde haired woman sighed irritably while Gobber shrugged.

"No, I need you to stay and train some new recruits." Stoick stated, sitting down on the table next to them.

"Oh, perfect." Gobber sighed before sarcastically commented "And while I'm busy, Hiccup can cover the stall. Molten steel, razor sharp blades, lots of time to himself...what could possibly go wrong?"

Stoick let out a sigh before asking "What am I going to do with him, Gobber? Freydis?"

"Put him in training with the others." Gobber offered, which caused Stoick to glare at him.

"No, I'm serious." Stoick replied.

"So am I." Gobber retorted.

"He'd be killed before you let the first dragon out of its cage." Stoick argued.

"Oh, you don't know that." Gobber waved it off.

"I do know that, actually."

"No, you don't."

"No, actually, I do."

"No, you don't!"

"Can't you two stop fighting? Just make your decision already." Freydis sighed irritably, sitting on top of the table with an irritable sigh. "Seriously, you two argue almost like brothers."

"Listen you two, you know what's he like." Stoick sighed before getting up from his seat. "From the time he could crawl he's been…different. He doesn't listen, he has the attention span of a sparrow…"

"Kinda like you." Freydis chuckled, along with Gobber before he accidentally lost his rock-made tooth into a cup, causing him to try and get it out with his right hand.

Stoick ignored her comment as he continued "I take him fishing and he goes hunting for…for trolls!"

Gobber turned back at his friend and exclaimed "Trolls exist! They steal your socks. But only the left ones. What's with that?"

"And it makes me wonder what's go on your head, Gobber?" Freydis said deadpanned, which Gobber ignored before managing to get his lost tooth out of the cup.

"When I was a boy…"

"Oh gods…" Freydis face-palmed.

"Oh, here we go." Gobber sighed.

"My father told me to bang my head against a rock, and I did it. I thought it was crazy, but I didn't question him. And you know what happened?"

"You got a headache." Gobber guessed, placing the tooth back into his jaw.

"Or suffered a head wound?" Freydis offered.

"That rock split in two! It taught me what a Viking could do, Gobber and Freydis." Stoick answered, looking up at a picture of a dragon before sitting back down on the table with a heavy sigh. "He could—He could crush mountains, level forests, tame seas! Even as a boy, I knew what I was, what I had to become."

"Despite everything you just said is just full of exaggeration." Freydis chuckled before settling down her battle axe. "Ha ha ha! Though I'll admit, you hitting your head on a rock is always quite stupid and yet hilarious at the same time."

Stoick shook his head and sighed "True, but even so…Hiccup is not that boy, you two."

"You can't stop him, Stoick." Gobber intervened. "You can only prepare him. Look, I know it seems hopeless. But the truth is you won't always be around to protect him. He's going to get out there again. He's probably out there now."

"He's right." Freydis agreed. "I've raised Runa from when she was a young child before her father went up and gone. I know that it's hard to raise a single child without the one you love by your side, but you gotta keep going is what I say." Stoick smiled at the two before looking up at the ceiling, letting his friend's words sink in and wondered what to do before making his final decision.

"Very well…I'll let Hiccup partake in Dragon training." Gobber let out a cocky grin and replied "See? Was that so hard?"

Stoick gave his friend an amused glare before turning to Freydis and questioned "So Freydis, are you gonna let your daughter partake in Dragon training as well? She is quite one of the strongest shield-maidens here on Berk."

"Of course! She takes after me after all." Freydis chuckled. "Besides, Hiccup won't be alone as long as his friend stay by his side."

"I get what ya mean." Gobber laughed before remembering something. "Oh ya Stoick, about that boy that appeared here on Berk during the dragon raid…" Stoick narrowed his eyes at him as Gobber continued "Apparently he just woken up and is getting the grand tour from the old chum of mine. He's probably meeting up with the rest of his friends." Stoick let out an irritated sigh, remembering Henry's disrespect towards him earlier after the dragon raid was over.

"Come on Stoick! You're still mad at what he said, huh?" Freydis smiled in amusement, only adding more fury in Stoick's anger.

"He called me a 'dumbass' just when I send Gobber and his son to take Hiccup back home." Stoick grumbled. "I do not know who he is or where he came from, but I'll expect a good apology from the boy."

"Ah come on, go easy on the lad." Gobber assured.

"Yeah, I'm sure he was just feeling irritated do to the last dragon raid we had." Freydis pointed out. "So maybe he'll give ya a good apology if you go easy on him, along with Hiccup."

Stoick glances down on the ground, wondering what he should do. He then looks up at the ceiling with a thoughtful look, making him another decision.

"Very well…" Stoick sighed. "I'll have you keep an eye out for him Gobber."

"Don't worry Stoick, you know who ya talking to?" Gobber chuckled, which caused Freydis to give him an amused glance as she commented "The same guy who else gotten his skivvies all wet from the last raid?"

Gobber chuckled and blushed in embarrassment, remembering full well what happened last month from the last dragon raid.

"In the meantime, it's best if we pack up now." Stoick said, getting up from the table and began walking off. "In the meantime, I'll be sure that young man who accompanied my son during the raid will apology."

Freydis shook her head and sighed, seeing the stubbornness Stoick is giving.

"Of course he still remains stubborn after that whole talk." Freydis sighed before glancing up at the ceiling with a sad look. "Just like him…" "Oi, are ya talking about…?" Freydis didn't answered back as she picked up her battle axe and began walking off, following after Stoick while Gobber remained in the Great Hall with a heavy sigh, knowing full well about Freydis's husband.

"Of course…how could I forget?" Gobber thought with a sad look before getting up from his seat and began taking his leave, hoping to see Hiccup and Jobber, along with their new friend Henry back at the forge.

Meanwhile

"So what's your favorite color?"

"It's red."

"And what's your favorite snack?"

"Just a sandwich, that's all."

"And where did you come from? Rome? Greek? Anywhere else in the Archipelago?"

"I told you, I'm somewhere far far away."

"Oops! Heh heh, so sorry about that."

Seriously, this girl asks waaaay too many questions. Anyway, in case you all forgot, we're still trying to find that Night Fury all over Raven Point. It was just over by the other side of Berk. We split into three teams, Hiccup and Runa, Jobber and Satsuki, and Dusty and I.

While we search through some bushes and trees, Dusty has been asking me some questions and just like she promised, they were friendly based questions, though they were starting to bug me a bit.

"Okay! Last question, what's your favorite hobbies?" Favorite hobbies, eh? Hmm…well I guess it's not much of a big deal considering most people like what I enjoy whenever I'm alone or with some accompany.

"...Well art and music." I answered, rubbing my head bashfully.

"Ooh! Those are very nice hobbies!" Dusty giggled. "It sorta reminds me of reading books and taking notes while studying up on your dragon lessons."

Exactly how is art and music reminds you of reading books and taking notes?

"Riiiight..." I rolled my eyes with a sigh before looking over at a nearby tree, seeing that there was nothing here. "Guess there's nothing on this side."

"Ahhh..." Dusty sighed sadly. "It looks like the Night Fury isn't here."

"Yeah...looks go meet up with the others." I shrugged before we began walking off and meeting up with the others just over by northwest of this place. We soon saw Hiccup, Runa, Jobber, and Satsuki discussing about what they found.

"Hey!" I called, gaining their attention.

"Oh hey Hen-Hen! Dusty!" Satsuki greeted us with a bright grin. "Did ya find Mr. Night Fury?!"

"Unfortunately, we didn't." Dusty sighed sadly, which I nodded in agreement and added "Yeah, I don't even know how in the world can we even miss a dragon?"

"Agreed." Runa agreed. "It is quite strange..."

"Ahh...we were so close!" Satsuki exclaimed with a sad expression. "This is just too difficult to find! Is this Night Fury so amazing that it can be one with the 'fury'?!"

"What the hell does that even mean?" I questioned with a raised brow.

"Oh well, let's keep on searching you all! We can't give up that easily!" Jobber exclaimed in determination, which some of us agreed. Man, it's so difficult to search out a dragon that you can't seem to find. I mean, how do we lose such a big dragon in the first place?

"It is quite tiresome, wouldn't you agree squire?" Gram whispered to me, which I nodded.

"Yeah, so it would seem." I shrugged. I then walked over to Hiccup, who was busy writing over his notebook, which was actually a map inside of his notebook. Hmm...looks like he made it in case we might end up get lost around this island. It is quite huge after all considering how long we've been walking.

"Did we check every place we've explored Hiccup?" Runa asked Hiccup with a curious look.

"So it would seem..." Hiccup sighed before began checking off an 'X' on the map based on the places we've explored before he began scribbling his map, ruin it out of frustration. "Ugh...great. Just great."

"Hey, you don't have to do that." I said with a bit of a deadpanned look. "Just because we looked in almost every area here in Raven Point, doesn't mean that you should be angry with it."

"Thanks for the lack of encouragement." Hiccup rolled his eyes sarcastically before kicking a rock off a ledge. "Oh, the gods hate us. Some people lose their knife or their mug. No, not me. I manage to lose an ENTIRE DRAGON?!"

"Calm down Hiccup." Runa assured. "We're gonna find that dragon. I mean like Dusty said, the bola you guys created is quite strong so there's no way that dragon can escape from it, right?"

"Yeah!" Ah! Holy crap, where did she come from?! "You just gotta believe Hicky! We gotta find that Night Fury! So don't go 'Hiccuping' all over the place!"

"Wow...nice joke there Satsuki." I muttered, glancing away from her.

"Ahh thanks Hen-Hen! That's so nice of you!" Satsuki laughed. Ugh, she's still calling me that nickname. It's already annoying to me. I face-palmed at her, unable to believe that she didn't catch my sarcasm. Oh forget it...she's another idiot like those twins and Jobber.

Hiccup however ignored her before he swatted a tree branch out of the way, only for it to swat back at him.

"OW!" Hiccup winced in pain, which made Jobber chuckled as the rest of us went to check on him.

"You okay Hiccup?!" Dusty asked in worried. "That tree branch hit ya back so hard!"

"You hit the tree, so you deserved that 'tree-ment'." We all gave Satsuki deadpanned looks, except for Jobber who continued laughing. "Sorry about that. Sorry if my puns are a bit 'mains-tree-m'."

"Satsuki...please stop." I begged.

"Same here." Runa agreed, clutching onto the whip in her arms. "I am this close to giving you a lesson with this whip."

"Wait! Don't whip me good!" Satsuki pleaded with a sad gesture. "I won't do it again! I won't 'tree-t' you guys like that anymore!"

And that was the last straw as Runa whipped her on the shoulder, causing her to shriek with a weird and terrifying yet panic looking expression on her face. How in the world did Satsuki even pulled that off? No, just...don't.

"I said don't do it!" Runa exclaimed.

"It was worth it for Satsuki!" Satsuki cried out.

"Ugh..." I shook my head in annoyance before noticing the small grin on Hiccup's face. "Oh...so you're liking this?"

"H-huh?" Hiccup turned to me with a sheepish chuckle while rubbing his head bashfully. "Well...sort of."

So is that a yes or no?

"Really?" I shook my head with an amused grin before noticing something behind him. "What the hell?"

"Huh? What?" Hiccup asked before turning around and let out a gasp upon seeing what it was. It was a damaged tree, and it looked like something crashed through here…Ooh…shit.

"Oh gods…" Jobber gasped.

"Oh my Thor…" Runa muttered, her expression turning a bit pale. "C-Could it be…?"

"Oh my my my! This tree must've met its 'berry' end!" Satsuki said, not shocked or even scared on what we're witnessing.

"Umm, Satsuki…I don't think you know what it really means." Dusty said with a nervous grin.

"Yeah." I agreed before we began investigating it. "Do you guys think…that this tree looks like because…"

"I think so…" Hiccup nodded slowly, gulping in fear. Jobber became cautious as he gripped onto his hammer real tight while Dusty and Satsuki hid behind him in fear, much to his joy as I saw the sly grin and tainted pinkish-red cheeks on his face brightening up. Yep, Runa was right…he really is a pervert. Runa on the other hand had her whip in her arms in case something went…ugly. Me and Hiccup looked at each other and nodded as we slowly began walking over to the damaged tree and saw how bad it looked. We soon followed after its trial, finding a large crevice on the ground. Could it be that…the Night Fury might've crashed down here? Man, that impact must've been quite hard, even for that dragon.

"Something is quite strange…I feel a presence lurking by…" Gram whispered to me, causing me to feel tense as we slowly began walking down the crevice before seeing something at the end of it, which was revealed to be what we came for. Before we could get a good look at it, me and Hiccup ducked down and hid behind the rock in fear of it trying to pounce and kill us. The others soon hid behind some rocks and trees before Hiccup made a shushing sound to let them know to stay quiet and don't make a sound.

I turned to Hiccup and asked "Are you sure about this?"

"I'm sure…just on the count of three." I nodded before he began counting down. "1…2…3!"

Me and Hiccup came out as I pulled Gram out of its sheath and raised it in front of the Night Fury, who is revealed to be tied up from the bola Hiccup shot out of that Bola launcher he and the others said to made. I felt a bit afraid of seeing it up close as I looked over and inspect it, seeing that why it has the name 'Night Fury' now. It's whol body was black and its wing were quite huge. Jeez, I'm starting to see why it's called a 'Night Fury'. Soon, I noticed Hiccup taking out a dagger, much to my surprise.

"What the hell? Where did you get that?" I muttered in shock, only to receive a nervous chuckle from him as replied "Would you believe that this is the type of weapon I use in case of emergencies like this?"

I gave him an incredulous look before saying "Riiiight…."

Actually…what exactly is he planning with that? Oh god…don't tell me…

"Oh wow…." Hiccup started laughing before walking over to the Night Fury with a satisfied look on his face. Wait, is he seriously laughing? "I did it! This fixes everything you guys!"

"Yeah! This means we'll be famous!" Satsuki laughed. "The Berk Misfits will rise to the top!"

"Yeah! Can't wait to see their faces when they hear about this?" Jobber grinned.

"Yes!" Hiccup cheered while I gaze at the dragon, feeling a bit afraid upon close glance. Just looking at it is just giving me the creeps…Thank god it's dead, but why do I have this feeling that something bad is about to happen?

Soon, I noticed Hiccup placing his foot on the dragon as he declared "Yes! I have brought down this mighty beast!"

As soon as he steps on the dragon's face, it starts to shuffle around and shoves him away.

"WHOA!" Hiccup fell until I caught him, much to his relief as I helped him get back up before saying "Thanks." I nodded before looking back in fear, along with the others.

"H-Hiccup…what did you do?" Runa asked in fear the moment Hiccup took out his dagger. Hiccup didn't answer back as he soon started to get closer to the dragon. I soon followed him before hearing Gram speaking to me in a hush voice.

"Squire…unleash me in case things get ugly." Gram whispered, which I comply as I took him out of my sheath and slowly began walking over to the seemingly dead dragon. As soon as we got close enough, we saw it's bright green emerald eyes gazing straight towards us. I slightly widened my eyes in shock and fear as my expression turned pale upon seeing it. Holy crap…this thing….seeing this made me felt like that the reality I've been through changed into fiction. That fiction that I've believed from the myths to the stories told in books became a part of the reality I'm witnessing. These dragons…they are real. First I'm in a world where I've bumped into my ancestors, being a part of a war between Vikings and Dragons, and worse of all…seeing a dragon in my own eyes.

"I-I-I-It's…!" Dusty widened her eyes with an terrified look on her face.

"ALIVE! IT'S ALIVE! IT'S ALIVE!" Satsuki panicked. "Quick! Kill it with fire!"

"Calm down already, Satsuki!" Runa assured, whipping her on the right leg to shut her up. Satsuki winced in pain before chuckling nervously

"Sorry! I kinda gotten a little 'Fury' on that." Does she even know what fury even means?

"Oh boy…" Jobber muttered, clutching at his hammer. "That beast is alive!"

"To think that it survived the crash…" I muttered in shock. "I can't believe it endured through being crashed into a large tree and creating that crevice."

"Well dragons have scales that protects the outside of their bodies." Dusty explained. "So it would make sense how it can survive even the impacts it went through when Hiccup shot it down."

"It is quite true." Gram hummed in agreed, which was heard by Runa.

"Hey…who said that?" Runa questioned, blinking in confusion.

"O-oh…" I rubbed my head bashfully with a somewhat nervous grin as Gram whispered "Please squire, you can't let them know about my existence."

I nodded before answering "I-it was probably your imagination…"

"…Alright?" Runa shrugged before looking back at the Night Fury. Satsuki and Dusty hid behind Jobber as he looked at the dragon cautiously with the hammer in his arms while Runa felt a bit afraid as I saw her hands hesitant while she gripped onto the whip. "So does anyone care to tell me what the hell are we gonna do now?"

"I know one thing…" Hiccup held the dagger in his hands before glaring at the dragon. "I'm going to kill you, dragon. I'm gonna cut out your heart and take it to my father." The dragon glances towards him with soft eyes, causing me to raise a brow. Even if its tied up by that bola, it doesn't look…terrifying when I'm looking at its eyes. What's going on?

"Hold on Hiccup!" I exclaimed, causing him to look back at him. "I thought we were gonna bring it back to the village and show it to the others to prove you guys aren't useless as they all say!"

"Yeah!" Runa agreed. "I-I mean…killing a dragon?"

"Is that a problem?" Jobber asked. "I thought that killing dragons is what we Vikings do?"

"Well true…but to cut out its heart?" Runa questioned. "I mean, seeing this up close is just gonna be gruesome."

"This is our chance Runa! We can't waste it!" Hiccup exclaimed before raising the dagger in his hands.

"W-well…maybe you might have a point." Dusty agreed. "I-I mean…the vikings will still treat us like dirt because we brought it to the village instead of killing it."

"Y-yeah…but why am I feeling scared and terrified? We haven't even gotten scared yet or even pee'd in our panties and skivvies…yet." Satsuki added, whistling innocently.

"Okay, first of all, gross." I said with a scoff before turning to Hiccup and said "And second of all, are you sure man? I mean, I just…there's something wrong with this. I mean, he doesn't look menacing."

"Henry, I know what I'm doing…and this is it. This will fix all of our problems." Hiccup said with a smile on his face. "I'm a Viking. I am a VIKING!"

As he raised the dagger in his hands, I could only watched in shock and surprise before noticing the dragon's gazing at us, but mostly at Hiccup. Just looking a it…makes me feel regret…

Hiccup soon looks directly at its eyes' and felt hesitate on trying to stab it, however…ten seconds passed and they continued to look at each other. Seeing this dragon, and looking directly at the eyes…it didn't seemed to have a killing intent. It was almost like…it was afraid….seeing those eyes…it reminds me of myself. A coward who couldn't fight back then until she helped me become stronger. Without her, I wouldn't try to defend myself and help others.

"The dragon…it's afraid." Huh? I glanced down at Gram as he looked down at the dragon with a solemn look. "The look in its eyes….it is showing signs of fears. You can sense it too, do you Henry?"

I looked down at him and slowly nodded before looking over at the rest of the gang as they slowly began to grew concern upon gazing at the dragon, along with Hiccup who didn't move a muscle as he eyed at the dragon with hesitation. The dragon puts its head down and closed its eyes, like it was ready to accept is fate. Soon, Hiccup let out a scoff before looking away, lowering the dagger away from the Night Fury.

"I did this…" Hiccup sighed sadly before gazing at us. "I can't do it you guys."

"Trust me, after seeing that dragon, I can't do it as well…" Runa sighed sadly. "I…I just don't know but seeing it like that makes me feel…regret."

"Aye, same here." Jobber nodded. "We wanted to kill a dragon to prove the whole village that we're true Vikings…"

"And look at us…" Dusty glanced down sadly. "We can't…kill one. I-I just don't know what to do anymore."

"Me too! Satsuki thinks that this doesn't make any sense!" Satsuki cried out. I looked at them for a while before turning to the dragon with a slightly worried look, seeing it just lay there with its eyes closed, still waiting for the dagger to plunge into its heart.

"Well what now?" I questioned, turning back to the gang. "Are we just…gonna leave it here?"

"…No." Hiccup answered, forming a serious look on his face.

"Wait what?" Runa questioned.

"Umm….Hicky? Are you okay? I don't think your head is quite right." Satsuki chuckled nervously. "What do you mean by that?"

To answer her question, he began walking over to the dragon and bend down towards it. Before any of us could figure out or say anything, he began cutting off the bola around the dragon, much to our shock.

"What the hell?!" I exclaimed. "What are you doing?!"

"Hiccup, are you for reals right now?!" Runa exclaimed in shock.

"Hiccup! Stop!" Jobber warned.

I don't believe it! Is he serious right now?! Is he trying to kill us all?!

"Ah! Henry!" Gram glanced towards in front of me as I looked over at what he said before widening my eyes in shock upon seeing the dragon's eyes fully awakened with a surprised look as he gazed at Hiccup. However, the moment he untied the last rope, the dragon broke free out of its bola trap and pounced at Hiccup, pressing his paw on Hiccup's chest and glared straight at him.

"Hiccup!" Runa exclaimed in shock.

"AHHHHHH!" Dusty and Satsuki cried out before hiding behind some trees while Jobber and Runa grabbed their weapons and were about to attack, along with me gripping on Gram in my hands.

"You let him go you ungrateful scaly beast!" Jobber demanded as he raised his hammer and tried to stop it until Runa and I stopped him.

"W-wait! Are you stupid?!" Runa exclaimed, much to Jobber's confusion.

"She means that if you attack it, it might be possible that he might killed Hiccup!" I clarified.

"Oh Thor…" Jobber paled, realizing that he might kill his best friend as we watched over in fear and wondered what we're gonna do.

"Hm? How odd…" Huh? I glanced towards Gram as he eyed over the Night Fury as both Hiccup and the dragon kept looking at each other until it got closed to its face and roared before taking off. However, as it tried flying away, I noticed it was flying lopsidedly, bumping into some trees. Hiccup and the rest of us widened our eyes in shock as he soon got up and wobbled walked away from what we witnessed before dropping his dagger on the ground, and himself, fainting from what he experience.

"…Oh my god." I muttered as my eyes were widened in shock.

"I think I pee'd a little in my skivvies." Jobber blushed in embarrassment.

"I-is it gone?" Dusty asked in fear as she and Satsuki came out of their hiding places.

"Phew, that was a close one! Easy as pie!" Satsuki cheered before noticing the unconscious Hiccup on the floor. "Ooh…is it gonna be okay?"

"H-he's fine! He was just unconscious, that's all." Runa answered. "To be fair, I would've done the same."

"Can't argue with that." I shrugged before glancing where the Night Fury was. "But I guess we were lucky that it didn't try to kill us, right?"

"Yeah…Although it was strange." Jobber said, much to my confusion.

"Strange? How is it strange?" I questioned.

"Well the way it was trying to fly away…don't you fellas think that was weird when it was trying to escape, but kept crashing into stuff?" Oh yeah, that was strange. Looks like I wasn't the only one who saw that.

"Anyway…" Runa spoke up. "Come on, we gotta wake Hiccup up! We can't just leave him here!" She then turned to me with a stern look and said "Hurry up, already? Isn't it a man's job to help others?"

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes before she and I helped Hiccup up, and five seconds later, he slowly began waking up.

"W-what?…Where am I?" Hiccup questioned.

"We're still in the woods." I answered.

"Woods?" Hiccup asked before widening his eyes in shock before escaping from our grasps. "Wait, what happened?! Where's the Night Fury?!"

"Well you released the Night Fury and it gotten away…" Jobber replied. "…And it gotten away."

"Oh gods…" Hiccup face-palmed himself and instantly began pacing back and forth with an extremely worried look. "This is bad! What the village say?"

"W-we're gonna get in trouble or worse! Exile!" Dusty cried out before smiling nervously. "W-well…we just need to think positive and surely need to think this out!"

"Are you joking?" Runa asked incredulous. "We just witnessed a Night Fury right in front of us and when Hiccup was about to kill it, he just released it! We're lucky it didn't kill him!"

"Yeah…" Hiccup nodded.

"Looks like Mr. Night Fury wasn't in the mood to eat humans today!" Satsuki chuckled.

"Yeah." Jobber sighed in relief. "Now what are we gonna do?"

"How about we don't tell anyone about this?" I suggested, much to their surprise. "Think about it. Your village seems really hell-bent on their hatred towards dragons and if you guys tell them about the Night Fury and how it was released by us, we're seriously gonna get killed."

"Good point." Hiccup nodded. "This is gonna be our little secret, okay?"

"Got it." We nodded.

"Well that's good." Runa smiled before frowning. "Sorry if we couldn't do anything for ya Hiccup. We tried to save you but we fear that if we attack that Night Fury, it could've possibly killed you too."

"Hey, it's okay you guys. No need to be sad." Hiccup assured.

"He's right." I nodded with a soft grin. "You were just trying to save him. You can't always be rash on situations like that…" That caused me to frown upon remembering something that she gotten rash, along with me. "Especially in times when you're life is in danger…"

"Hm? Did you say something, Henry?" Hiccup asked, looking over to me with a confused look. I looked away from him and replied "N-nothing! I'm fine."

"Oh…okay." Hiccup nodded.

It's not that I wanna talk about it, I'm not sure anyone would understand…

"So now what?" Jobber questioned.

"Let us never discuss this." Runa suggested. "Like Hiccup and Henry said, let's never talk or say anything about what happened. We don't need anyone else troubling Hiccup or anyone else."

"Y-yeah…" Dusty nodded with a sad smile. "Let's get out of here…"

"Yeah! Satsuki doesn't want to be anyone else's lunch for today." Satsuki agreed before feeling disappointed. "But you know…Satsuki feels pretty sad that we never accomplish anything."

"It's okay Satsuki." Jobber assured, wrapping his arm around her. "Maybe we'll find another way to make others noticed us all."

"I hope so…" Hiccup sighed.

"My best bet is getting the hell out of here." I suggested, which the others agreed as we soon began taking our leave, hoping that we can forget what we witnessed today. As I placed Gram back into its sheath, Runa turned to me and asked "So where did you get that sword? It looks pretty cool with that gold color."

"Oh this?" I said, taking it out and showing it to them. Hmm…well I see why not that I should tell them. "Well…I had this for a while and yet it's annoying."

"Annoying? How is it annoying?" Dusty questioned while I noticed Hiccup eyeing at the sword with a suspicious look, which I soon realized why. It's because he knows something about this sword.

"…It's just nothing, that's all." I replied with a sigh.

"Well even so, that sword is mighty shiny." Jobber chuckled. "Actually, speaking about it…I never seen a sword like that in my life and me and Hiccup are blacksmith experts."

"I wouldn't call myself an expert…" Hiccup rolled his eyes before saying "Although, I am quite curious to know about it Henry."

"Well…" I guess I wouldn't mind telling them. "I found stuck in a tree and pulled it out, that's all."

"Stuck to a tree? That's quite a sticky situation." Satsuki chuckled.

"A sword stuck to a tree? That is weird…" Runa rubbed her chin in thought. "Are you sure that's true? Not that I'm doubting you of course just because you're an immature boy." What kind of crappy excuse is that?

"It's the truth." I replied. "Found it in a forest where it was stuck to a tree. Although, I'll admit I was pretty scared upon seeing it."

"Don't worry! I feel your pain." Jobber chuckled, patting me on the back. "One time, I mistaken my dad's little wooden hammer as a Terrible Terror."

"That is some information that wasn't needed, Jobber." Hiccup stated with a deadpanned look.

"Definitely." I nodded in agreement, having a deadpanned look as well. I mean, who the hell mistakes a wooden hammer for whatever the hell did Jobber just said.

"Heh heh, true." Jobber laughed.

"Say…what's that?" Runa looked over at my bracelet, blinking in confusion. "It looks kinda pretty."

"Oh this?" I said, looking over at my bracelet. "This is just something my grandmother gave to me."

"Ahh, that must be so nice of her." Dusty chuckled with a bright grin.

"Yeah…she is…" I smiled softly before letting out a sigh. "Although it doesn't matter at all."

"Eh? What do ya mean?" Satsuki asked curiously.

"It's nothing." I answered as I began to take my leave. "Come on, let's go back home."

"Good idea." Hiccup nodded before turning to his friends and said "Let's get back home before anyone realizes that we're gone."

"Yeah. I need to hurry back home before my mom returns back home." Runa agreed. "Oh well…I'll try my best to not reveal that info."

"Same here! Satsuki swears it in her entire life!" Satsuki smiled happily.

"I-I'll try too…" Dusty nodded, letting out a gulp.

"Oi, you can trust me as well!" Jobber laughed with a grin. With that, we began taking our leave and headed out towards out of Raven Point and back to the village. While we left, Hiccup walked next to me with a curious look and whispered "You do realize that I'm the only one who knows about that sword, right?"

"What?" I asked in confusion.

"I know it can talk, remember?" Hiccup raised a brow, causing me to widened my eyes in shock, even Gram had a shocked look on his face. "Don't worry, I promise to keep this a secret. Just promise me to meet up at the workshop later today, that way we can talk about it, promise?" I guess I should've seen that coming because he did overhear what Gram said during that dragon raid. Oh well, it doesn't matter….

"…Okay." I nodded with a soft smile.

"Thanks." Hiccup nodded with a smile before looking down at my bracelet. "Although, your bracelet looks pretty weird."

"What do you mean?" I questioned.

"I mean, it has my family symbol on it." Wait what? I looked over at my bracelet and realized that he was right. Oh shit… "Why is that?" "I-it's nothing. Honest." I assured, looking away from his confused look. Oh great, now he's getting suspicious. Fan-frigging-tastic.

As soon as we were almost out of Raven Point, Gram widened his eyes in shock as he muttered "Henry…did you hear that?"

"Hear what?" I questioned as he glances towards my left as I looked over and blinked in confusion. I don't get it…what does he hear? As the others walked over by us, Hiccup was the only one who noticed my bracelet glowing.

"What the heck? What's up with your bracelet?" Hiccup questioned, much to my surprise until I put my left arm behind me.

"I-it's nothing Hiccup! It's just your imagination." I assured with a weak grin, only to receive a raised brow from him. "Ugh…alright. I have no clue why." "What?" Hiccup asked.

"Hey you guys! You coming or what?" Runa asked as she and the others looked over to us with confused looks.

"We're coming, just hold your horses!" I called.

"Yeah, we'll meet ya back there! We're just…talking." Hiccup chuckled nervously, which received a confused and suspicious look from her.

"Oookay?" Runa raised a brow.

"Are ya sure? Maybe if we-" Before Jobber could say, Runa nudged him in the gut too hard, causing him to wheeze out some air.

"Let's just go. We'll meet back at the tree-house." Runa called. "Let's go you guys and no slacking off, got it?"

"Y-yes…" Dusty nodded, along with Satsuki as she kept her smile while Jobber rubbed his gut in pain before the others began taking their leave. Well at least they're gone.

"Okay, so what's going on?" I looked back at Hiccup, who gave me a suspicious look. I let out a sigh, realizing that there's no way out of this.

"It's…to be honest, I don't know." I shook my head and shrugged. "It's just sorta happens."

"Well…that's unfortunate." Hiccup rolled his eyes before noticing the flash gotten brighter just from my bracelet. I looked at it and became confused on what does it want. "Strange, it's almost if it was trying to tell you something."

"Jeez, you think?" I scoffed before looking around and until the flash kept blinking repeatedly towards where Gram pointed out. I soon began following through the forest, along with Hiccup as we went through it with confused looks and wondered what was happening. As soon as we were deeper into the forest, we soon arrived to a weird place…it was quite…well I'll admit, it looked beautiful that it'll make your jaw-dropped in awe. We looked around and saw a bunch of flowers all together in a big circle and a sunlight was shining over the field of flowers.

"Wow…" Hiccup muttered. "I never been in this part of the forest."

"Really?" I asked incredulously. "I thought for sure you guys covered out the entire island?"

"Well not all part of Berk." Hiccup shrugged as we walked around the fields of flowers. I looked over at the field of flowers and saw that they were sunflowers, roses, violets, and orchids. Strange, you would think that this island is surrounded in an island where you had to deal with a cold temperature that flowers possibly wouldn't grow here. Speaking of which, if its supposed to be really cold, then why haven't I have been feeling cold or shivering at all?

"Strange…wonder where all of this came from?" Hiccup wondered.

"Yeah, it looks…beautiful." I said, forming a soft grin. No really, I mean it. It looked so beautiful…if I had my sketchbook, I would've just copied this scenery for sure. It looked so elegant…

"How lovely…" Gram smiled. "It would seem whoever did this has quite a love for flowers."

"Yeah." I nodded.

GRRRRRR!

Huh? What the? Wait a minute…haven't I heard that sound before? The moment I asked that question, we heard another growl causing me and Hiccup faces to turn pale.

"H-Henry…did you hear that?" Hiccup questioned, which I shrugged. As soon as the two of us looked at each other, something blasted out of the bushes and aimed towards us. I instantly looked behind me and widened my eyes before pushing Hiccup out of the way, yelling "Look out!"

The moment I did, we both got out of the way as I fell to the field of flowers on my back while Hiccup fell to the ground on his butt. As I tried to get back up, someone or something placed their foot on my chest, causing me to open my eyes and looked over what it was. It…it was a dragon.

But this dragon was sleeker with lighter coloring and glimmering textures that include white, cream, and pink. It possessed a long, single spine running down the center of their back and light blue eyes. It also had two pairs of ear-like appendages on the top of their heads and a pink-colored nose. It's mouth was quite short and its wings were short as well, also its tail flukes are triangular in shape, white in color, and shorter. It gave me a threatening look and growled angrily at me.

Instantly, I remembered back when I first got here on this island, I was attacked by something that kept shooting many of those fiery blue blasts towards me and tried to get away from whatever attacked me. As I put two and two together…I realized where it might've came from.

"H-Henry!" Hiccup called as he got up and tried to help, only for the dragon that was on me to shoot a fiery blue blast near Hiccup's feet, causing him to back away in fear. It soon gazed back at me as I held my breath and felt afraid of it. Wait…that look. It almost look like that Night Fury….holy crap…don't tell that this thing is related to the Night Fury, right? It continued to glare at me as I began breathing heavily before noticing its eyes twitching to the left, causing me to feel confused.

"Henry…look to your left." Gram whispered to me, which I complied as I looked over and saw an orchid flower being crushed underneath my hand. I lifted my arm slowly and removed it, causing the dragon's eyes to soft before picking up the flower with her mouth. She managed to put her foot off of my chest as I slowly got up and just watched the dragon looking at the flower sadly, causing me to feel bad for it. It…didn't look evil. She let out a low growl and nuzzled the poor flower, causing me to feel guilty before Hiccup came over and whispered "Come on…let's get out of here."

"The boy speaks the truth. Let us go Henry." Gram agreed, but I shook my head and replied "Wait, just hold on…" I soon slowly walked over to the dragon and picked up a nearby orchid flower and slowly walked over to the dragon before placing the flower to the field, causing her to immediately look over to me and growled before noticing the flower I placed. I let out a nervous chuckle and backed away a bit as she just looked at me and Hiccup threateningly before looking away and gaze at her flower fields. Me and Hiccup looked at each other before immediately running away from it and hid behind some trees.

"What were you thinking?!" Gram scolded. "Do you have any idea that you could've been killed?!"

"Well…it looked angry at me accidentally crushing her flower instead of ourselves." I answered with a serious look before turning to Hiccup and asked "By the way, mind telling me what the hell was that?!"

"I-I have no clue…" Hiccup shook his head before glancing towards the Night Fury look-alike as it laid down on the field of flowers and closed it eyes with a soft expression, relieving from its anger from before. "But I never seen one before, I can't believe there's another Night Fury"

"Another Night Fury?" I asked in confusion. "But…aren't there any Night Furies that come invading Berk for food and junk?"

"No." Hiccup shook his head before looking back at the sleeping dragon with a surprised look. "Night Furies are a rare species and me and the others have been studying the many dragons that attack Berk from dragon raids and found out that the Night Fury we saw is the only one left."

"I-I see…" I sighed before looking over at it. Wow, it looks like a Night Fury, but so different from color and such. I mean, I know I mentioned a bunch of times on seeing dragons in this world, but seeing this one…is so elegant. It…looks amazing…

"But you know…it almost looks like a…Bright Fury." Hiccup suggested, but I spoke up and muttered "A Light Fury…"

Hiccup turned to me and nodded in agreement before saying "Yeah…your name is a lot better."

"I thought you two would be here." Huh? We looked back and saw a familiar blonde haired giving us a stern look on her face and said "Hiccup, Henry, what the hell are you two doing here?"

"O-O-Oh hi Runa! What a surprise." Hiccup chuckled nervously while Runa raised a brow. "I-I thought you and the others headed back to the tree-house?"

"The others did, but I know that you two were hiding something." Hiccup gulped upon seeing Runa's stern glare. "Hiccup, I've known you for years so of course I would know that you're terrible at lying."

She then turned to me and asked "And I had a feeling that you might up to no good. Don't lie to me! Oh my gods, you boys are so stubborn! Well not as stubborn than the men at the village."

"Really?" I asked with a raised brow.

"Look, what were you two doing?" Runa questioned, crossing her arms. "W-what are you talking about?" Hiccup chuckled nervously, causing me to shake my head and face-palmed a bit. Heck, even Gram held a deadpanned look as well.

"Hiccup…" Runa warned before noticing something over by the flower field. "What the hell? Is that…?"

"Yeah…" I answered with a nod. She looked over at the 'Light Fury' as it was resting around the flower fields peacefully, like there was nothing wrong in the whole world at all and it didn't even know that we were staring right towards it.

"It can't be possible…" Runa widened her eyes in shock. "To think that there's another Night Fury here."

"Actually, we called it a 'Light Fury'." I corrected, much to Runa's confusion.

"A…Light Fury?" Runa questioned before looking over at the dragon from a far distance. "Oh…it would make sense considering that its scales are shining with the color white like the snow."

"Yeah, and his name was a better than 'Bright Fury'." Hiccup rubbed his head bashfully with a sheepish grin. Runa gave him an amused smirk and replied "And I had a feeling that was your suggestion, hmm?"

"H-hey! Cut me some slack, alright?" Hiccup chuckled.

"Whatever you say." Runa rolled her eyes, still having that amused smirk on her face while I gaze at the two with a soft grin. Looks like these two are pretty close. They were acting like siblings….ugh, what am I saying? It's best not to just think about it.

"I say…" I looked over to see Gram eyeing over to the Light Fury as she looked like she was feeling peaceful just being there on that flower field. "This Light Fury…she doesn't look like she has any evil intentions…it is quite strange."

"She?" I whispered to him before he gazed at me and replied "Yes, that 'Light Fury' as you called it is female." Hmm…I guess technically that would make sense considering that its entire physique was slimmer, slender, and thinner than the Night Fury we saw back there.

"So…" Runa looked at us with an unsure look and asked "What are we gonna do? We're not just…gonna leave it right here, right?"

"Well…I don't know." Hiccup shrugged. "It didn't attack Henry and it was angry for just a little orchid."

"Seriously?!" Runa exclaimed as she turned to me with an incredulous and shocked look, but I let out a nod and replied "It's the truth."

"Mad over at a flower…well I guess I can understand that dragon considering that I'm quite mad for certain people calling a 'feminist'…" She turned to me with a stern look, causing me to snort and said "Can we just drop this and probably get out of here before it might see us?"

"And even if it does…" Runa took out her whip with a smirk plastered on her face. "I'll make sure that it won't withstand my whip."

"Whoa whoa whoa! Calm down Runa!" Hiccup said, making her put away her whip. "The Light Fury didn't hurt us at all. It just growled for nearly ruining that flower field, that's all."

"Are you serious? I'm surprised that a dragon like that can even care about a flower field." Runa said in surprise before saying "Although, that is quite strange…never in my life would I ever see or hear about a dragon getting mad over a flower field like that."

"Ooh trust us, it's surprising." Hiccup rolled his eyes.

"Yeah." I nodded in agreement. "Look…it's best to just run away and never encountered that thing."

"Well…it's not hurting us right now." Runa shrugged. "Most Vikings would just give it a sneak attack and kill them right away, but this is us. So technically, yeah. Retreating sounds like a good idea for now." Well that's quite logical there. Alright, let's get the hell out of here.

"Are you sure that its a good idea to retreat, squire?" Gram questioned. "A warrior never backs down from a fight."

"Shut up, already." I scoffed before I began walking off, along with Hiccup and Runa. We did our best to not make any noise as we didn't want to wake up the Light Fury and try to attack us. Although, never in my life that I would encountered a dragon like that before. The other dragons seems pretty cool looking, but that Night and Light Fury takes the cake. I wonder if they're related or something…

I was told many stories by my grandma about dragons, but I never would've imagined that they were real. They were basically made-up stories to impress children, but it looks like I take that back.

Sooner or later, Hiccup, Runa, and I made our way out of that part of the forest and headed back towards the village.

"What do we do now? Should we tell the others about what we just found?" Runa questioned, feeling a bit excited. "I-I mean, we just discovered another dragon species!"

"It's best if we not." Hiccup shook his head, much to her confusion.

"Huh? Why's that?" Runa questioned as I turned to her and replied "Because frankly, we don't want to cause more trouble with ourselves than we already are."

"Ooh…good point." Runa shrugged nonchalant. "Although…we kinda ruined your opportunity to shine Hiccup. Sorry about that…"

"No, it's okay Runa." Hiccup waved it off with a soft grin. "It wasn't your fault nor the others. You guys helped keep watch over us and even followed me and Henry in case we did something stupid."

"To be fair, I had no choice." I replied with a blank look before noticing the small blush on Runa's face. "What?"

"N-nothing! You jerk!" Runa scoffed before whipping me on the right hip, causing me to wince in pain. "Oh gods, you're so annoying! You should never ask a lady such as myself a rude question like that!"

"So?" I scoffed, crossing my arms and looked away from her.

"Jeez, seriously? What's up with the sudden attitude?"

"Nothing…" I tighten my hoodie a bit and looked away, earning a confused yet curious look on Hiccup's face. "What is it now Hiccup?"

"Oh…it's nothing." Hiccup waved it off with a nervous chuckle before questioning "Although, I don't get why you're covering your face like that." "What?" I asked.

"I mean, sure it's quite chilly around here on Berk but I mostly seen Vikings here without hoodies to cover their faces, even me and the others."

"You know, he's got a good point. Why is that?" Runa questioned, raising a brow at me. I glanced away from their looks and let out a scoff.

"So what? Is it wrong to wear a hoodie?" I asked, crossing my arms. Besides…I can't take it off because….well, for obvious reasons, that's all. And even if I did, which I won't, I just don't want people to notice me. It's not like they'll care about if I took it off or not nor would I want to considering that I want to hide myself away from people's gazes at me. "Look, we're just wasting time…let's just go."

"Hold on! We barely know anything about you!" Runa growled, taking out her whip. "You tell us that you live somewhere far away but we don't even know where you came from!"

"So you're doubting me?" I raised a brow. "Whatever happened to trusting me?" Runa was taken a bit back from that remark as she glances away nervously as she replied "W-well…"

"I knew it…it was just a lie." I said, looking away from her. "N-no wait! It wasn't like that! I was just…confused! That's all!" Runa exclaimed, causing me to glare at her and said "Don't be…besides, I'm used to it."

"Huh?" Before she or Hiccup could question me, I began walking off and heading back towards the village with the two following after me.

"Squire…" Gram poked his head out of the sheath with a stern look. "You should never be rude to a lady."

"You be quiet." I scoffed, not bothering to look at him. "Look…I just want to be left alone for right now."

"…If that's what you wish." Gram sighed before sliding back into the sheath. How annoying…I never would've thought that they were get suspicious of me wearing a hoodie and later tell me that they're suspicious of me…well I'm used to crap like that. I…I don't wanna talk about it to a bunch of people like you. You all wouldn't understand anything…at all.

---

Later

With nowhere else to go, I headed back to the village of Berk and ignored everyone's stares. Hiccup and Runa went their separate ways with me as my ancestor headed back to the forge to discuss some things with his mentor and friend while Runa headed back to her place to discuss things with her family. I didn't want to bother with them or anyone else and I just needed to be left alone…but where can I even go? What a joke…

"H-hey! Leave me alone!" Huh? I glanced upwards to see a familiar brown haired girl being harassed by none other than those idiots, Snotlout, Ruff and Tuff, and the nerd, Fishlegs.

"What's the matter? Too scared to even fight back?" Snotlout laughed before pushing her on the ground. I hid behind a pole and gazed at them as Dusty held a terrified look and was at the verge of tears. "Seriously? You'll never become a strong Viking like me!"

"Y-yes I can!" Dusty exclaimed. "I-I just need to stay positive and all that!"

"Yeah right, you just do all that stuff about 'staying positive' just to hide away your fears." Snotlout chuckled, crossing his arms. "Well it won't work because you're too much of a coward, almost like Useless."

That son of a bitch! I clenched my fist tightly in anger as Fishlegs felt uncomfortable and said "W-wait! You guys! Maybe we shouldn't do this! This is my sister you're messing with!" Sister?…Wait…are you telling me that's his sister that they're messing with?! Are you frigging serious right now?!

"Or what Fishface?" Snotlout chuckled, smirking over him. "You gonna fight me? You're just a coward, that's what you are."

"Yeah, a real coward and nerd." Tuff whispered to his sister, only smirked and chuckled mischievously along with her twin brother.

"W-well…!"

"If you're trying to fight back, just now that we'll treat you worse just as Useless." Snotlout grinned, causing Fishlegs to twiddle his fingers with a nervous look on his face.

"Fishlegs…just drop it." Dusty muttered, glancing down with a depressed look. "Just let them…"

"…S-Sorry Dusty…" Fishlegs apologized sadly.

"Come on! Let's go before we get in trouble." Snotlout smirked.

"Yeah! Don't wanna be bothered by a small girl who can't even lift a hammer." Tuff chuckled.

"Yeah! Even we can lift a hammer and that's saying something!" Ruff agreed. "At least we have talent as well!"

"Yeah!" Tuff agreed before banging his helmet with his sister, getting dizzy. I then noticed the tearful look on her face as she soon got up and looked away from their looks, even her brother's face. Alright, that's it!

I soon got out of my hiding spot and confronted them as I exclaimed "Alright, what in the actual fuck is wrong with you?!"

"Oh great, it's you." Snotlout let out a yawn before giving me a cocky grin. "What is it you want?"

"I want to know is what the hell is your problem?! What exactly are you picking on her for?!" I demanded.

"Oh nothing much." Snotlout shrugged.

"Yeah, we're just laughing over by how stupidly short she is." Tuff chuckled, causing me to glare angrily at them.

"You idiots are all the same…" I muttered before glaring at Fishlegs. "You mostly disappoint me."

"H-huh?" Fishlegs asked in shock and confusion.

"I can't believe that you're her brother and you're just letting these bastards just pick on her!" I growled, causing him to flinch in fear.

"B-but…I just…!"

"Shut the hell up! Just get out of my sight or else!" I demanded, only to receive a mock laughter from Snotlout.

"Oh really? And what you're gonna do?" Snotlout questioned with a raised brow, causing me to give him a small and cocky grin of my own before punching him in the gut and punched him in the nose, causing him to fall over and clutched onto it. "AAHHH! My nose! My nose! I think you broke something!"

Snotlout Owned Counter: 1

"Oh my!" Dusty gasped.

"Oh wow! That was awesome!" Tuffnut laughed.

"You said it brother!" Ruffnut agreed with a chuckle. "Nothing's better than seeing Snotlout getting punched in the nose!"

"S-shut up twidiots!" Snotlout winced before looking over at my glare, causing him to flinch.

"Consider this a lesson you won't forget." I scoffed coldly before glaring at Fishlegs, causing him to flinch in fear. "And you…I won't forget this. But I'll spare you….for now."

"Y-yes sir!" Fishlegs nodded in fear as I walked over to Dusty and helped her out before whispering "Let's get the hell out of here before the idiots might try to hurt you more."

"O-okay!" Dusty nodded before we began running away, leaving the guilty-looking Fishlegs, the still nose-pained Snotlout and the cackling Twins. Those frigging bastards….how could they bullied a girl like her? It's so similar to the situations I've frigging been…

We soon walked over to the forge, far away from those idiots as Dusty let out a sigh of relief and bowed to them with a soft grin on her face.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!" Dusty kept thanking me as I raised my hands and said "It was no big deal. I was just helping out, that's all."

"Well even so, I still have to thank you." Dusty chuckled before forming a sad frown on her face. "Though still…I never expected someone else to save me. Normally, the adults just ignored or don't pay attention at what's happening to me when I'm in trouble. Hiccup normally takes the beatings for me, especially Runa, Jobber, and Satsuki. But you…you saved my life but why?"

"Do you really think I'm just gonna let someone like you get bullied like that?" I asked rhetorically before saying "But besides that, I still can't believe what I heard earlier. Fishlegs…is your brother?"

"Yeah…" Dusty sighed sadly, glancing down sadly. "Although, you didn't have to threaten him like that."

"I had the right to!" I growled a bit, clutching my fist in anger. "He just stood there and just let those idiots pushed you around! An older sibling should always protect his/her young brothers or sisters from danger like that!" It's the truth…I believe in that. You're already asking why did I been rude to Joey back before I ran away from home? Well it was just that I was just upset…and…I didn't really want to say it to him, but…never mind.

"I-I know…but he had a reason." Dusty explained. "You see, he didn't want to be bullied as well."

"Bullied? What do you mean?" I questioned.

Dusty glances down sadly before saying "You see….Fishlegs and I used to be so close. We shared our thoughts on dragon knowledge and sometimes competed each other to see who held the most knowledge about dragons, different types of classes, and their height and weight and all that. But that was back when we were kids…before long till Hiccup became well known at the village as 'Hiccup the Useless'…"

Which is by the way, is the cruelest name I've ever heard.

"…Snotlout and the others began harassing him, and my brother abandoned him by bulking his whole body up like a normal Viking here on Berk does when they start to grow up into their teen years, and he soon started hanging out with them just to avoid being punished."

"Wait…abandoned Hiccup?" I questioned before widening my eyes in shock. "A-Are you saying….?!"

"Yes…You see, my brother and Hiccup were best friends back then." Dusty admitted. Unbelievable…you mean to tell me that guy was friends with Hiccup? And he just abandoned him like that just to avoid being bullied?! Out of all the crap…that's just messed-up! "I understand your anger, but he just did that to avoid being beaten up by Snotlout and the twins. He doesn't say mean things to Hiccup, but he doesn't stand up for either me or the others."

"So what? He just cast you aside as well? His own sister?!" I growled, my face turning red in anger as I clutched my fists in anger. "That bastard…!"

"W-wait! He has his reasons! Please don't hurt my brother!" Dusty begged, causing me to calm down a bit before I scoffed "And what? You're just defending your own brother who just cast you aside to hang out with the cool kids? Is that what you're trying to say?"

"N-no…it's not true." Dusty shook her head, her face turning sad and depressed. "I understand why you must hate my brother, but he did it to avoid bullying, even if it means pushing Hiccup away and betraying him. Since I never did bulk myself up by carrying weapons as well, I was bullied and he never stood up for himself, nor myself as well. Due to my height, everyone's been picking on me…" She started to whimper and soon let out some tears. "I-it's just that…I'm so weak…so short…many people never been my friend at all…and kept picking on me…"

Dusty…I understand now. To think her own brother just abandoned her just to protect himself from bullying by siding with Snotlout. I don't get people like them at all…casting them aside to hang out with bastards like them. At least my sister cares about me…at least she tries to help me out and understands my problem while sticking me up. She's more caring than that Fishface bastard!

"Dusty…don't cry." I begged, looking away from her as she looked at me with a confused look, her eyes turning red and had tears. "You can't keep thinking like that. You have Hiccup, Runa, Jobber, and Satsuki by your side, right? Meaning that you're not alone…you have them. Your friends…and they're always there to comfort you when you're feeling down. I mean, Hiccup understands where you're going and he's always there to help you. To be fair, I think he's more of a responsible brother than Fishlegs."

Dusty looked at me before wiping away her tears with a soft grin and said "Wow…that was so beautiful Henry."

"What?" I asked.

"Everything you said…I think it cheered me up a little." Oh…well that's good to hear. "But even so, I would never abandoned Fishlegs. He may be siding with the wrong side, but for a good reason. I understand why and that's why I could never stay mad at him like that…I don't wanna blame him but I just wished for once that he stands up for himself from Snotlout and the twin's bullying and I wished he and Hiccup became good friends again."

I guess even in this Viking world, a world where its kill or be killed that you have to sacrifice your own family and friends aside from the sidelines in order to stay alive. I guess that might've happened in the many wars that occurred where I came from…always abandoned the people that loves you and sacrificing the many things to achieve…even believing what they think is right or wrong….but at least she didn't think of that. No…it's best not to talk about it.

"W-well anyway…" Dusty turned to me with a soft smile and said "I want to thank you for helping me earlier and it was quite relieving for Snotlout to taste his own medicine for once."

"No argument there." I chuckled with a soft grin. "Anyway, you wanna…come with me and hang out at the forge? I'm expecting for Hiccup to show up."

"No thanks, I should get going before Snotlout and the twins might harass me more." Dusty sighed sadly before smiling over me. "But I wanna thank you for saving my life and giving me such a good advice, friend."

"W-wait? Friend?" I pointed at myself with a confused look, causing her to giggle.

"Well yeah. You're really nice Henry. Despite your behavior being on the emo side and such, you're…a good friend." A good friend….I never had a friend…since ever. I cast them aside because…ugh, what am I saying? I'm getting too soft…

"Whatever…" I scoffed.

"Well…take care." Dusty giggled before she began running off as she waved goodbye at me, which I waved back to as well. As soon as she was gone, Gram poked its head out of the sheath and said "Quite interesting…I would never imagined that you would save her."

"What you expect? I just don't like seeing people who can't fight back get beaten up by people like them." I replied with a sigh.

"People…like them? Do you happen to mean the troublemakers?" Gram questioned.

"It doesn't matter." I scoffed. "Come on…let's head inside of the forge and talk with Hiccup. He did say that he wanted to chat up with us…"

"…Very well. I shall not press further squire and maybe we can began real training, shall we not?" Gram grinned, causing me to look away before he placed himself back into the sheath. Oh well, I just hope Dusty stays clear from Snotlout because if he ever messed with one of them again…no person alive is ever gonna save him from what I'm about to do to his ass.

I soon entered the forge where I bumped into Hiccup, Jobber, and Gobber as they were working over what with slamming some metal, and placing the newly made weapons into water to cool the heat off.

I saw Hiccup putting a pot filled with iron to heat and wiped the sweat off his brow before noticing me as he smiled over and said "Oh hey Henry, you came."

"Yeah, so it would seem." I shrugged before walking over and asked "Am I interrupting something?"

"Oh no no no! Of course not!" Hiccup shook his head. "Just finishing up some work, that's all."

"Yet he started ten minutes ago." Gobber shrugged with a light chuckle. "So how you've been, did my old boy gave ya the grand tour?"

"More or less." I answered before looking around the place with a somewhat impressed look. "I gotta say…you gotta good place to work at Hiccup. I never knew that you can make all…this."

"Well yeah. I told ya before that me and Jobber worked on the forge since we were little…well littler." Hiccup chuckled, banging on some metal and turning it into a sword.

"Well anyway, we were about to close up shop for today." Jobber said with a smile. "Other than that, we were just discussing about things about his father."

"Oh right…the 'chief', right?" I asked, making air quotes in the air.

"I get it…" Hiccup sighed. "You're just annoyed with him than I am, that's all."

"Ah, don't take it to heart, lad." Gobber said with a nonchalant look on his face.

"Yeah Hics, it's a father's job to be tough on their own son." Jobber stated with a chuckle. "Well…it's more like a chief's job to be tough on everyone."

"I'm not everyone!" Hiccup exclaimed, putting the pot and tongs he had used to hold them into a trough of ice water. Wow, he's really good at it but…I guess I can understand why he's having some 'dad issues'. "But, it doesn't matter…"

Gobber hummed and inspected the sword that molded before tossing it into an ice filled tray.

"The guy is impossible to please." Hiccup muttered with a displeased look on his face.

"He just doesn't want to appear to be playing favorites." Gobber chuckled.

"Well what do you expect?" I asked. "After seeing him and blaming his own son for an entire mess that he doesn't mostly caused, he's just a jerk. I can understand about having fathers who don't take your side on anything and just don't bother to understand their own children."

"I don't have any problems with my dad. He and I get along so well." Jobber shrugged, causing me to give him a deadpanned look and said "Oh wow, thanks for telling us your relationship with your father, which wasn't needed."

"What? I felt like it was needed to be said." Jobber shrugged.

"That's my boy!" Gobber grinned.

"I taught him and Hiccup everything they need to know."

"Thanks for the support Gobber." Hiccup rolled his eyes before turning to me and said "And…thanks for understanding my issue, I guess, Henry. But still, the guy is just impossible to please." Hiccup walked over and put away a pair of tweezers that he used to make the sword before reaching for the rack of tools nearby.

"Well he's already covered in that department." I rolled my eyes. "I don't wanna see the guy's face at all." Especially if he has a similar face as my father. Still though, it's kinda weird that his face is nearly identical as mine…which is the same as mine.

"Have you told him that?" Gobber questioned, holding out his hook hand.

"Of course not!" Hiccup exclaimed as he took off his hook and replaced it with a hammer. "We barely even make eye contact." Jeez, almost like how me and my dad communicate, despite him trying his best to get along with me.

"You remember what we talked about earlier this morning while our friend was asleep?" Gobber chuckled before gesturing over to me.

"Of course." Hiccup replied dryly. "And frankly, Gobber, you and Jobber's motivational speaking needs improvement."

"We're just saying." Gobber shrugged before he finished hammering out the sword. "There's the Viking way and then there's your way."

"And no offense Hics, but your way makes grown men uncomfortable…except for me of course."

That caused Hiccup to roll his eyes at their talk while I glared at them and scoffed "So what? What gives you both the rights to tell him what ways he should choose? It's not his fault he's hanging out with a bunch of idiots."

"Ouch man, that's cold." Jobber said, frowning him.

"Well we Vikings kinda aren't the types to be as smart as Hiccup." Gobber replied.

"Whatever…he's much more better with people who at least respects who he is instead of making him who he is." I rolled my eyes. "Besides, I don't mind who he is and he's been quite helpful, thank you very much. Besides, his idea of thinking can be quite useful in raids."

"Tell that to the many times he made those marks over the years on Berk." Gobber shrugged before banging onto another piece of metal, making it out of a sword.

"Well it's not his fault that this sort of stuff happens. Not everyone is perfect." I said, looking away from him. "Besides, I say that Hiccup might have a chance…someday."

Someone once told me to believe in yourself and not let others drag ya down with what they say. I believed in what she told me that day. I want to protect others, but at the same time, I don't want others to be involved in what I'm facing through in life.

"Thanks Henry." Hiccup smiled towards me, much to my surprise. "You know, while I kinda don't appreciate your attitude, it's still nice for someone else whose new to Berk is standing up for me."

"I-it's no big deal." I said, letting out a cough. "So anyway…can we please just discuss something else besides what we were talking about earlier?"

"All right…" Gobber chuckled with a smile that showed that he was planning something devious, but the question is what? "So Hiccup…Henry, how's it going with the ladies?"

At that moment, I saw Hiccup's face turning red and it wasn't because of the heat, even I didn't want to talk about it. It's been a while since someone asked me that question. In fact, my own father embarrasses me on that type of subject sometimes.

"Ahh, I see that blushing look on your face, Hen." Jobber pointed out, seeing my cheeks turning red as I looked away and replied "S-Shut up!"

"Oh yeah, way to get the mood back on." Hiccup huffed.

"Oh come on. I've seen the way you looked at Astrid." Gobber stated with a knowing smirk on his face. I looked over to see Hiccup's face turning more redder than usual.

"Please, Astrid wouldn't come near me if she was on fire and I had the only bucket of water in town." Well that's a weird way on how you would put it.

"Well even so, I know you'll get a chance with her." Jobber chuckled before muttering "Despite being a hard chick to interact with."

"Oi, don't get me started on the many times you tried to get Astrid to noticed Hiccup, laddie." Gobber shook his head with an amused grin on his face. I made a raised brow at Gobber and questioned "What…did he do?"

"Nothing except once trying to get her to notice Hiccup but I accidentally tripped and fell into Astrid's…" Jobber chuckled weirdly with a massive blush appearing in his face. "Well I can't say but I'll give ya a hint. It was something on her chest that softened the landing…"

Oh my god…this guy is a frigging pervert. I'm starting to see why Runa has some hatred and annoyance towards him. I've been hanging out with a pervert this entire time.

"Ooookay, moving on." Hiccup rolled his eyes before turning to Gobber. "Say Gobber, why not you and Jobber take a little break? I got this."

"Alright, if you say so." Gobber shrugged. "We'll be back by five while I have a little talk with the boy." Gobber gave a glare at his son, who chuckled nervously before the two walked out of the shop. As soon as they were out of sight, Hiccup lets out a heavy sigh while I said "Well…I'll admit. I did not need to know that from him."

"Oooh trust me, you don't want to hear how many times he embarrasses himself and other girls around here by his pervert side." Hiccup rolled his eyes before turning to me and asked "So anyway, may I see it?"

"It?" I asked.

"I mean your sword." Hiccup clarified, which I shrugged and complied as I took out Gram from his sheath and handed it to Hiccup.

"Just be careful…it's quite an annoyance…" I said with a scoff, earning a stern look from Gram itself.

"You shall be quiet squire!" Gram scolded, surprising Hiccup a bit.

"Whoa…it can talk." Hiccup said in surprise. "Never in my life would I hear a talking sword."

"Yeah trust me, even I was surprise." I rolled my eyes as Hiccup inspected him. "Like I said, I only got him like many hours ago before you found me unconscious."

"Oh right, you said that you found this sword over by a tree, which he was stuck onto, right?" Hiccup questioned, which I nodded. "You know, I am curious to know where did you find him? As in what island or place did you find him?"

"Oh…uhh…." Well this is a problem.

"It is quite alright squire." Gram assured. "You should tell him instead of hiding your secrets."

"Whatever." I grunted. "You see…I found him when I arrive here on Berk."

"Wait…here on Berk?" Hiccup questioned.

"Yeah." I nodded. "When I first came to this island, I gotten lost and happened to find him." I explained, which made Hiccup hummed in thought.

"I see…but what exactly were you doing here on Berk in the first place?" Oh boy, these questions are just getting me more anxious and suspicious from others.

"Well…I'm just lost. Y-yeah…I washed ashore on Berk and tried to find help…but I gotten lost here till I find Gram." I explained.

"Gram…so that's his name." Hiccup said, looking over Gram's handle. "Huh…strange, I can't help but feel like I've heard that name before." Hiccup muttered.

"Well he said something about being wielded by someone called 'Sigmund' and about slaying an evil dragon named 'Fafnir' or something." I replied, much to Hiccup's surprise.

"No way…" Hiccup muttered as he inspected Gram in amazement. "You must be a tough sword if you were own by this."

"Quite indeed Hiccup Haddock." Gram nodded. "I am a great sword created by Odin himself."

"Odin?!" Hiccup exclaimed before turning to me. "No way…I can't believe. Is that true?"

"Yeah, but I didn't believe in that bullcrap." I shrugged.

"Are you kidding? This is Odin we're talking! I mean, how can you not be excited by a talking sword?!" For many reasons…

"You don't need to get that excited. Besides, it's not everyday where you encountered countless dragons and a talking sword." I pointed out.

"Oh right, you did say that you're somewhere far away where dragons don't attack you, right?" Hiccup questioned before sighing in relief. "Well lucky that…"

"Yeah…" I nodded as I soon noticed something over by the back. I soon came over and uncovered the curtains, and saw a small workshop, and it has many papers attached to the walls. "What the?"

"W-whoa! Wait!" Hiccup rushed over with Gram in his arms. He soon entered the workshop with me with an embarrassed and worried look. "What…is all this?" I questioned.

"Oh, those? Nothing. Just some stuff I'm working." Hiccup replied, rubbing the back of his neck. I looked over and I'll admit…I'm quite impressed. It looks like he has many ideas on which invention he wants to me. I looked around the room till I noticed one piece of paper attached to the wall. It had a drawing that I was all too familiar with earlier this morning.

"Hey wait…isn't that the bola launcher machine that you used to shot down that Night Fury?" I asked, pointing over to the piece of paper I stared at.

"Yeah, and here I was trying to forget that day." Hiccup said dryly before turning to me with a nervous chuckle and said "But overall, this is just my workshop. Gobber gave it to me and the rest of the gang helps me make new inventions that could help out the village."

"Which didn't help out and made people hate you, huh?" Hiccup let out an exasperated sigh and nodded before I looked around the room, seeing many different drawings of the different inventions he made. "Whoa…these looks amazing. I don't think I've ever seen any of this kind of stuff before…"

"O-oh really?" Hiccup said in surprise. "I-I never knew you were fascinated with machines."

"Well not technically, but I do have a love on art." I stated, blushing a bit.

"Oh, so you like art too, huh?" Hiccup chuckled, walking over to me with a soft grin. "Me too."

"Really?" I asked in surprise, which he nodded. Huh, well that's nice to hear. "Well…that's good to hear."

"I think I remember you saying that your hobbies were art and music, right?" Gram questioned, which I nodded and replied "Well of course. I'm kinda good in that subject, but I rather do that stuff without anyone near me."

"What? Why's that?" Hiccup questioned. "I mean, no offense but you don't look like you could mess up with either of those subjects. In fact, I think you might be good with those two subjects."

"Thanks for the admiration." I stated with a sigh. "It's just that…I rather for people not be around. Even those who don't understand you everyday on how you feel…"

"What?" Hiccup asked, not catching what I said.

"Nothing…" I said, looking away from him but Hiccup gave me a worried look, like he knew that there was something wrong with me. I decided to change the subject as I turned over to a small picture about a short gun-like invention that seems to shoot out one of those bola nets. "The…Mutilator?"

"O-oh that!" Hiccup said, gazing at the one peculiar paper I stared at. "Yeah it uses twin-weighted counter-levers to launch crisscrossing blades in four different directions."

"How does it work?" I questioned.

"Well you shoot it." Wait what? I gave him a surprised look because since this is the age where basically gun-like objects such as that don't even exist. But to think he came up with something like that…

"Okay…I'll admit, that's pretty impressive." I said with a soft grin.

"Indeed…it could be quite useful in the many dragon raids that shall come." Gram stated.

"Yeah, but I have a feeling it won't happen." Hiccup sighed, causing me to look over him in confusion as he continued "The Vikings here considered using the old fashioned 'take it down with an axe and then lop off its head' kind of people."

"…What?" What the hell does that even mean?

"Basically, he means it's that kind of the Viking way." Gram stated.

"Yeah, go Vikings…" Hiccup sarcastically cheered, causing me to chuckle a bit.

"Well…you know Vikings. So obviously dumb, am I right?" I grinned, causing Hiccup to chuckle as well.

"Well…can't argue with that. They're not…big readers, you know." Ain't that the truth? But you know, he seems quite organized with his inventions considering how it was drawn neatly and arranged nicely. I let out a soft grin before frowning a little. "Hey, what's wrong?" Hiccup asked in concern.

"…Hey Hiccup…can I ask you something?" I asked.

"Sure, what is it?" Hiccup asked.

"Were you always this treated badly by others because of who you are?" I asked, causing Hiccup to frown sadly and sighed.

"Yeah…it's true. Many people see me as immature, irresponsible, distrusting, weak, scrawny, a fish bone, and useless…" Hiccup glances down while I looked at him with a sympathetic look, and Gram was giving him one as well. "But I just want to prove to people that I'm not useless…even having my dad see how proud he is with me. I just wished he just at least listen to my reasons and hopefully just pays attention to me. I just feel like that he's think I'm not worthy."

He then lets out a cough before making gestures and saying "Excuse me barmaid! I'm afraid you brought me the wrong offspring. I ordered an extra large boy with beefy arms. Extra guts and glory on the side. This here, this is a talking fish bone!"

That caused me to let out a laugh as I smiled softly at him and replied "Oh my god! That is so hilarious! It's like you got him straight-on!"

"Yeah, so I was told that I had a good impression of my dad." Hiccup smiled before frowning a bit. "But sometimes…I don't think he accepts who I am due to my weak physique. He even once gave up training me upon learning that I couldn't wield any weapons or do any good like other Vikings."

"So he just…left you?" I asked in shock. I know that my dad and I don't have a close relationship but at least he tries his best to get my attention.

"Something like that, but I don't mind it at all. I thought that something else like making useful inventions that could help in on the raids could be helpful, make me be accepted by my own tribe." Hiccup stated before sighing "But you can see how that went."

So he's just like me…we're both people who can't understand the world. Well except we have similar situations on hand. He creates inventions that causes Vikings to dislike him and even his own father doesn't pay attention to him. I myself…am different from Hiccup. I'm not talking about causing trouble and such…well maybe that one time back in my old school that caused me to go suspended before moving here…it's just that many people stays away from him because he was different due to his scrawny figure, but me…I just distanced myself from others. It's best not to say anything to you more…you wouldn't get it, okay? No one gets me everyday…no one in this crappy world understands me and some just love mocking me because of what happened two years ago…

"Hey, you alright? You looked pretty depressed…" I looked over at Hiccup, who gave me a worried look. I looked away and replied "It's…nothing."

Why am I feeling sad? I tried to hide away my feelings from others because I didn't want others to mock me for my sadness…

"…Okay." Hiccup shrugged. "But thanks for listening to my story. Normally it's just Dusty, Runa, Satsuki, and Jobber that listens to me and always tries to cheer me up, but you on the other hand helped me out. I may not enough a lot about you but at least I know one thing…" He gave me a soft smile and replied "You're a good person."

A good person? Am I really? I cast aside people and distanced myself from others….even my own family. Am I really considered a good person? "…Yeah, thanks I guess." I sighed.

"By the way, here ya go." He handed me back Gram, which I nodded and thanked before placing him back in his sheath. "I promise that I won't tell anyone about your talking sword. Not even to the gang, well…not yet if they might catch onto us."

"I somehow have doubts on that…" I muttered. Well actually, just Dusty and Runa might catch on, Jobber and Satsuki on the other hand…yeah, no.

"Well anyway, I should pack up and head home. In the meantime, you can hang out at my home. I am curious to learn more about Gram and hopefully learned more about him." Hiccup said with a smile.

"Well if you want, I shall pass down my knowledge if that's alright." Gram smiled.

"Well thanks…uhh…Gram." Hiccup scratched the back of his neck with a smile. "Well we should get going. Hopefully my dad isn't home." "Don't worry, if he is then we can always sneak around. That's what I would do when I come home late." I shrugged.

"Well I guess that could work." Hiccup shrugged. "Hey you know, you never told me about my family." I stiffened a bit before glancing away and replied "How about another time? I rather not go on that subject."

"And of course you would avoid the subject." Hiccup stated dryly before saying "But…I guess because it's private. That I understand."

I let out a grin and dryly remarked "And here I thought you would know that about me. I am quite the mystery."

"Of course you are." Hiccup rolled his eyes as the two of us let out chuckles.

You know, he's okay in my book. I think me and Hiccup grew a little closer today. I honestly can sympathize with him on being a social outcast to this village. He doesn't deserved such treatment from these people, not even his own dad. I won't admit it that I would call him or the others my friends…but I know that I can put my trust in them and in favor, I can protect them like I did with Dusty earlier from those idiots. I mean, she would've done the same….

No Henry…don't. Thinking about her will only worsen your emotions….

---

Later

After leaving the forge and heading towards Hiccup's home, we slowly walked in and saw his father just off the distance. We slowly closed the door and tried to crawl up the steps in order for him to not noticed us…

"Hiccup." Oh goddammit…

"Dad!" Hiccup looks back with a nervous grin. His dad got up from his seat and looked over to him, and even to me.

"Hey…" I greeted, glancing towards him before looking away, ignoring his stern gaze.

"What's…he doing here?" Stoick questioned.

"O-oh well…you see…" Hiccup rubbed the back of his head with a nervous grin. "Uh…I have to talk to you, Dad."

"I need to speak to you too, son." Stoick sighed as they both took a deep breath before the two spoke at the same time.

"I've decided that I don't want to fight dragons/I think it's time you learn how to fight dragons." They both said in unison before looking at each other and asked "What?"

I rolled my eyes while Gram closed his eyes, not bothered by this.

"You first." Stoick offered.

"No, no, you go first." Hiccup insisted.

"Alright." Stoick clapped his hands together as he held a serious look on his face. "You get your wish. Dragon training. You start in the morning."

"Wait what?" I muttered in confusion and surprise. Dragon training? Well if I had to guess, it must mean combating against the dragons, which would mean…Hiccup is going to be trained to kill dragons. Ooh crap.

"Oh man, I should have gone first!" Jeez, you think Hiccup? "Uh, cause I was thinking, you know, we have a surplus of dragon-fighting Vikings, but do we have enough…bread-making Vikings? Or small home repair Vikings?"

"Small-bread Vikings? Small home repair Vikings?" Gram muttered in confusion as I held a deadpanned look and said "It's best not to question that."

"You'll need this." Stoick grunted, handing Hiccup an old axe as he held it with both of his arms.

"I don't want to fight dragons." Hiccup stated, but Stoick just simply laughed and replied "Come on. Yes, you do."

"Rephrase." Hiccup said with a slightly worried look. "Dad, I can't kill dragons!"

"But you will kill dragons." Stoick assured while I gave him a glare.

"No, I'm really extra sure that I won't." Hiccup shook his head, feeling scared at this moment.

"I think you should listen to him." I suggested, but that was heavily ignored by Stoick as he stood in front of us and said "It's time, Hiccup."

"Can you not hear me?!" Hiccup exclaimed, but his father continued "This is serious son!"

He picked up the axe from Hiccup's hand and wielded it. "When you carry this axe, you carry all of us." He then tossed it into Hiccup's arm, which caused him to nearly fall down while I glared at him. "Which means you walk like us. You talk like us. You think like us."

"Yeah, I rather for him not to be an idiot." I muttered, rolling my eyes.

"No more of…this." Stoick gestured to his son's scrawny build, much to my displeasure. Seriously? Again?

"You just gestured to all of me." Hiccup sighed, getting annoyed by that.

"Deal?" His father asked.

"This conversation is feeling very one-sided."

"That's because it is." I pointed out.

"Deal?!" Stoick raised his voice louder. Seeing no chance on convincing him, Hiccup looked up at his dad and replied "Deal."

"Good." Stoick smiled before putting his helmet back on, and bringing a rucksack by him. "Train hard. I'll be back…probably."

"And I'll be here…Maybe." Hiccup sighed.

"Right…" Stoick nodded before turning to me and asked "What brings you here?"

"That depends if you're gonna listen or not." I scoffed until Hiccup let out a nervous chuckle and hoping that his father wouldn't be angry with me.

"H-hey listen dad, I was hoping that Henry here would mind staying here for a while. You see, he's just homeless at the moment and we were thinking that maybe he should stay here for a while." He gave me a stern glare before saying "Why would we keep such a troublemaker like him?"

Oh okay, that's just rude.

"Come on dad! Please!" Hiccup begged. "I promise that I'll do very well in…Dragon training." With a raised brow at his son, he soon turned to me with a serious look and replied "…Very well. Only on one exception."

"Oh yeah? What's that?" I questioned.

"You must participate in dragon training as well." Hold on, what?!

"Wait what?" I asked.

"Wait what?" Hiccup questioned in shock.

"You heard me straight, participate in dragon training and you can stay here." Stoick stated.

"Hold on! This is just ridiculous! Why do I have to do this?!" I exclaimed in anger. "I can't kill dragons!"

"But you will considering that you're new around Berk." Stoick crossed his arms with a stern look. "Besides, if you won't accept the offer then I won't accept you to stay with my son in this household." I glared at him until Hiccup turned to me and whispered "Just…do it. Trust me, even I can't change his mind."

I can't believe it…I'm gonna be trained onto killing dragons…

"…Fine." I scoffed.

"Good answer." Stoick grinned before turning back towards the door. "Now I'm off…I'll see you two later."

"Whatever." I muttered. "Like you would care considering that you don't bother to listen to your own son."

"What was that?" Stoick glared at me.

"Oh nothing, nothing at all." I sarcastically said, looking away from me.

"Well anyway, we'll…see you later dad." Hiccup sighed.

"…Right." Stoick nodded before walking away and exiting out of the house, but not before giving me a glare before taking his leave.

"Oh great…and just when my day couldn't get any better." I sighed irritably. "I'm about to take lessons on how to kill dragons when I don't even have the skills to do that."

"You think that's bad? I'm getting myself involved in this as well." Hiccup reminded me. "And you're right, just when you think our day couldn't get any better."

"What makes me more pissed off that your father just forced us to go take some Dragon training." I sighed.

"Yeah, it's common for teenagers to train themselves to combat many dragons when they get older." Hiccup explained.

"That is quite true. I was wielded by Sigmund's son, Sigurd and he wielded the power to combat evil." Gram stated.

"Oh, well…that was something that we didn't need to learn about." I said dryly before sighing "But…I guess I got no choice. What did I ever do to deserve this?"

"That I'm wondering too." Hiccup sighed before putting the axe down and turned to me with a soft grin. "But at least you get to stay here for a while till we might help you out."

"…Well yeah, I guess so." I rubbed the back of my neck bashfully. "But maybe I should've suggested on sleeping outside instead of staying at a house."

"Don't be like that Henry, just accept things on what they are." Hiccup rubbed his head bashfully. "Besides…you're gonna have to quickly learn to accept it and fast."

"Why?" I asked in confusion.

"You'll see tomorrow." Hiccup sighed. Seriously, what does he mean by that? Is it gonna be something that I'm gonna go through? Oh god….

"Do not feel afraid, squire." Gram said, looking down at me with a soft grin. "You just need some little training and surely that you'll manage to pass through it."

"Really?" I asked incredulous. "You're just a talking sword."

"True, but I have faith in your squire." Gram assured. "You have the power in me to wield a great sword like thou."

Me and Hiccup blinked in confusion before looking at each other, wondering what does he mean by that. Seriously, why doesn't these people try to tell me these damn things?

"What?" I asked.

"Just you wait and see." Gram chuckled. "Now then, we shall head off to bed."

"Yeah…it is getting late and I just want to forget what happened earlier." Hiccup sighed. "Honestly…after seeing that Night Fury like that…I just don't wanna kill dragons."

"That's what you said to your dad, right?" I asked in concern. "It was because seeing that dragon…feeling afraid?"

"Well of course. I…I was just scared. I just…I just don't know what to do anymore." Hiccup admitted.

I gave him a soft grin before placing a comforting hand on his shoulder and said "Hey…don't feel bad. I'm sure that you'll be fine and trust me, even I'm starting to have goosebumps on wanting to kill a dragon despite not even confronting one in my life till now. But still, I'm sure we'll find a way to avoid this, right? I mean…I'm sure you know that we can't kill dragons even if we want to now, right? Not after seeing those two dragons we encountered over by the forest, right?"

Hiccup looked at me for a while before giving me an amused grin and replied "Yeah…Thanks for understanding Henry, now let's head off to bed."

"Whatever." I shrugged as Hiccup started to head upstairs.

"How odd…" Oh great, now what? I glanced over at Gram, who poked his head out of the sheath and looked at me curiously. "Those words…I feel as though you're feeling a little satisfied and happy…"

"So?" I asked, hiding my grin from him. "Oh well…let's just see what tomorrow has in store for us."

Honestly, I'm just shocked and afraid that we're going to confront real-life dragons tomorrow, but surely we're just training and we're not gonna get killed, right? But I knew that tomorrow…I was dead wrong.

To Be Continued

Well that's one chapter down! Anyway, that's right! I'm adding the Light Fury in this to commemorate the How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World movie. God bless you HTTYD franchise for always being our shining light. Besides, I'm thinking of some names that could fit her in the meantime like Thea, Aurora, or Venus. Also, what you saw during the chapter where Snotlout got punched in the nose by Henry was the 'Snotlout Owned Counter', which shows how many times Snotlout embarrasses himself, his ego gets destroyed, gets owned (By Astrid no less), or gets outsmarted by Hiccup and Fishlegs. It was inspired by TFS Dragon Ball Z Abridged 'Krillin Owned Counter'. Frankly, I'm gonna enjoy this as much as you folks.
