This is Berk

It was morning in the barbaric archipelago and most tribes were now starting to wake up. However there those tribes who were unfortunate enough to have to deal with a few pests during the night. The thing about pests in the archipelago is that they are dragons: dragons who are very big and very destructive. The dragons can fly and spit fire like one would believe, but they can so much more. They can spew lava, breathe flammable gas, set themselves on fire and some of the can shoot spines from there tails, and that's only the bare minimal.

So why do people still live in area with such destructive creatures? The answer is simple really, they are Vikings, and Vikings have stubbornness issues, and vikings of Berk are as stubborn as they come. Berk was an island in the Merdian of Misery, just North of freezing to Death. The people were usually what you would have expected from Viking village. They farmed, they fished, they fought dragons every other day. They were big brutes, with beefy arms and the thirst for a brawl when time came.

However not all Vikings are like that though. Often there are times when a Viking child is born without the 'beefy arms'. Usually these children are called 'Hiccups' which literally mean runts. But that's not to say Vikings were insensitive when naming their children. You see Vikings believed that a terrible name would scare of troll and goblins and other such creatures. Now on the island of Berk there was only one Hiccup. This Hiccup was the son of the chief, Stoick The Vast.

Hiccup was not like all the other Viking children. He was not strong. He did not have beefy arms. He also struggled to lift almost every weapon, except a dagger. But he was smart and inventive and could work well with his hands. Not so much his feet but you get the picture. Everything a Viking was supposed to be Hiccup was not. That being said that didn't stop him from trying to be like the rest of the tribe. But that also didn't stop him from making mistakes and being son of the chief meant those mistakes were never forgotten and always brought up. People didn't bother giving him a chance and eventually people started avoiding him, while some decided to pick on him.

Stoick being chief of the village would obviously know what was going on; that his son was being bullied and would tell them to back of right?Wrong. He was always caught up with chieftain duties that he would mostly ignore, or look down at Hiccup and his mistakes. In truth, Hiccup was alone in his tribe with the exception of a few individuals. Gobber, the village blacksmith and childhood friend of Stoick, was a mentor and adopted Uncle to Hiccup. But in addition to Gobber, Hiccup had two other friends, although these friends weren't your typical type of people. As a matter of fact, Hiccup knew they weren't. You see they were Hiccup's 'Imaginary Friends' and they were always their for him when things got too overwhelming.

Rush Alias and Aliyah Storms, two very un-viking like people, always seemed to have Hiccup's back but strangely no one ever saw them or heard them. Hiccup knew they weren't real, that they were just figments of his imaginations but there was always something off, about them something not natural. Rush for instance always kept his cloak up, never once showing his face. The closest Hiccup ever saw was two yellow glowing eyes, with black slits, looking almost draconic. He never said much to Hiccup but always seemed to know where Hiccup should go as whenever Hiccup was being chased by bullies he would appear at random and point in a direction for Hiccup to go in and Hiccup would usually escape the bullies, Snotlout and co. , without being bruised or beaten.

Aliyah was a different story altogether. Unlike Rush, she would always be looking for ways to talk to Hiccup and cheer him up. She was kinda of like a mother or big sister to him, always asking if he was alright or how was his day. She was also funny; teaching him things like how to do impressions( he was working on doing his father right now) or helping him figure out crazy ideas for his inventions. Hiccup didn't know how she did it but she always made him laugh. She even made it a habit to make a fool out of Rush, Rush being as scary as he was instantly relented when Aliyah shot him a look with her piercing red eyes.

But all in all, they were just imaginary and Hiccup knew one day or the other he would wake up and they would disappear forever but that day was not coming anytime soon or at least he hoped not. There is only so much an eight year old can take. But still they are just imaginary friends, they aren't real, it is not like they do things he is unaware of right?

Review, fav and follow. Constructive criticism is appreciated and i really want to know what people thought of this chapter has it was more for setting the stage for chapter 3
