Sorry about that last chapter folks with wade, he can be a douche sometimes but gave him a lorry full of tacos and chimichangas and he's very quiet now.

Okay first off...over 300 followers! Wow that's more than my other stories got. Even iron fury. I want to thank all of you and as a special mothers day treat at the end of this, I gave you all a little present.

Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 8- Those we lost, found

It's been a month now since Snoggletog evening when Hiccup taught not only Mildew but Snotlout and the twins a lesson on not to piss him off while at the same time, giving hope for the young shield-maiden once again by presenting her uncles axe back to her, not only still in one piece but fixed back to its original proud state.

Where ever you went around the village, you couldn't find Astrid without her axe strapped proudly across her back as she heads to the forest to carry on with her training.

Something her parents remind Stoick about every time he sees her around that it was his son, whom he banished, that brought their daughter back.

Well almost, they still miss the fun loving Astrid that she was before Finns incident with the Flightmare years ago, but they had high hopes that if Hiccup could bring back Astrid from her state of depression like that then there is a good chance he can go even further.

But as they see Stoick they tell him every time how they wished that Hiccup wasn't banished.

And in truth so does the chief.

So here he was in his house looking at dozens of unrolled out parchments, looking for a solution as to how he could unbanish his son.

He sighed dull-fully, having spent nights upon night looking through every single detail to right his wrong.

So far no luck.

The only thing he found was that Hiccup could be brought back into the village and the tribe...

After five years had past.

And only if he can prove he is worthy of rejoining back.

Stoick rubs his forehead in frustration.

He wish he could change the damn rules, if he could he would have his son back in the village within a heartbeat.

But some rules are set in stone.

Created by the first council of the Hooligan tribe so that no rule shall be changed without the full consent of the current chief and council members.

And that was the problem.

Yes some on the council would change it to bring back Hiccup.

This included Gobber, Agusto Hofferson, Mooselegs Ingerman, Mulch and Bucket.

But there were some on the council that would refuse for his to come back yet and to wait the full five years.

This was lead by Stoicks brother-in-law, Spitelout Jorgenson, who was still pissed off with Hiccup's actions towards his son.

But Stoick knew very well that it was because Hiccup made a laughing stock of the Jorgenson name by flooring Snotlout and making him piss his pants.

"Why did father ever agree to arrange a marriage between Angela and that mutton head in the first place?" he sighed remembering the day he announced that his sister was to marry Spitelout in order to produce an heir, being sceptical that he and Valka wouldn't have one after so many tries.

This saddened him even more remembering all the failed pregnancies the married couple went through before Hiccup.

It was Stoick who wanted to stop in case he lost her to one more, but she was one of stubbornest woman on Berk and refused to give up.

He then smiled as that sounded just like Hiccup.

'Was that why I never got close to him? Because he reminded me of her so much?' he thought to himself before shaking his head as he drank from his nearly empty tankard and carried on through the stacks of parchments for any loophole once again.

He didn't even notice Gobber opening the door and walks toward the table covered in opened up parchments.

"Any luck there Stoick?" he asked breaking Stoick from his reading as he sighed.

"No Gobber, nothing that we already don't know about" he replies back, sighing in frustration as Gobber takes his empty tankard to the barrel at the back of the room, refilling it back up before taking one for himself too.

"Well ya know Stoick, the old council always set them rule up with secret loopholes, in case they were needed" he explains as he hands Stoick his tankard of mead before sitting down to drink his as he sighs, getting Stoick attention.

"Something wrong Gobber?" he asks as Gobber looks up at him.

"I can' believe that even after banishing him, yew allowed that old fart Mildew te came back in anyway"

Stoick sighed, he got told about this on a daily basis and every time he kept wondering about it too.

But he knew why.

"Look Gobber I wish I could stop him from ever coming back here, if I could, I'd throw him off the Island entirely..."

"...bu' because he owns the rights to the cabbage farms, he's allow back in once a week fer tradin'" Gobber interrupts as Stoick nods his head before banging his head on the table as Gobber carried on.

"Damn loopholes" he said as he took a swig of his mead.

Suddenly, Stoick lifted his head up with a look of realization.

And he smiled.

He just found his loophole.

Granted it won't get his son back in the village on a permanent basis as of yet but it'll get him a foot in.

And the council can't change it unless the whole of them agree to.

Gobber meanwhile was looking at his old friend, wondering what was going on until he realized why Stoick looked enthusiastic.

"Yew just found yer loophole didn' ya?" Gobber put it simply as Stoick nodded again before looking directly at the old blacksmith.

"What sort of things can Hiccup do that would benefit the village?" he suddenly asked, taking Gobber by surprise.

As he got over the shock, he start to think about all the things Hiccup had done in all this time since his banishment.

There were so many things that would benefit the village thanks to him.

But he knew Stoick wouldn't go for all of the them, mainly the one's that wouldn't involve his complicated contraptions, no matter how good they were.

So Gobber settle on the basics.

"Well first off, he's a great blacksmith, helping with half my orders so I'm not lagging behind..." he started off with as he pointed to his index finger with his hook hand before carrying on.

"He has become very good at hunting and gathering, mainly fer his own survival needs, thanks te the area he lives in, is able to make a farm fer crops an' by a lake so he has access to fish, the strangest thing is that he never gets attacked by dragons either" he finishes off as he looks at Stoick, who is thinking about all of this.

Stoick takes on aboard all what Gobber tells him.

'If Hiccup can help out with some of our losses from the raid, it might help his chances at coming back' he thinks to himself as he nods at Gobber before telling him of his plan.

Gobber agrees and before long they both head towards the great hall for a council meeting to discuss this with the others.

Meanwhile In the forest, the sound of grunting and screaming could be heard as young Astrid Hofferson, renewed with confidence to become the best, practises with her uncles old axe that he gave to her.

Of course looking at the weapon closely, you couldn't tell its age by how worn it is or how damaged the blade was from constant sharpening over the years.

Astrid however did know along with her family on its age, having Finn Hoffersons initials carved onto the axehead, that's was the only part of the axe that looked old since Hiccup decided not to renew that part, wanting to keep the history alive through the old weapon.

It was also to prove that he repaired the weapon and not replaced it at all.

Something Astrid appreciated.

Yes Hiccup could have given her a brand new axe that looked exactly like the old one, but he knew that's what Astrid never wanted.

She wanted to remember her uncles legacy.

But as she swung her axe into a nearby tree with force, embedding it fully into the wood, she started to think about something.

Or to put it another way, someone.

Her mind was wondering the same thing over and over again.

Why did he do this for her?

Sure she figured he was a nice guy and wanted to bring some happiness to someone.

But why her?

She recalled that in the last five year since they stopped being friends, mainly her own wrongdoing, that she hadn't been kind to him one bit.

She ignored him when he was getting beaten up.

She'd give him disappointed looks whenever something happened.

Hell she even hurt him herself when he gave her a rose on Frigga day.

At the time she didn't want love she wanted respect.

And yet throughout that time he still respected her, he tried to make her happy.

But she didn't understand why.

As she thought about why he did it, she had come to realize that she forgot all about who Hiccup was.

And it saddened her.

As she pulled out her axe from the unfortunate tree, she then started to make up a plan.

She will find out more about Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third if its the last thing she does.

Back in the great hall

"No!" came the voice of Spitelout as Stoick told them of his suggestion, to which many of them agreed.

But as predicted, the head Jorgenson had to be the one to argue about it.

Unfortunately for him, he was out-voted five to three as even the all quiet Gothi put her vote in too.

But still, Stoick wanted to understand what he had against allowing a boy back into the tribe as he turned his attention to the Jorgenson along with everyone else.

"And what excuse do you have to disagree?"

Spitelout stood up straight after he was asked, puffing out his chest, trying to make himself look big and intimidating.

"Because the runt will destroy the village like he used to!"

Stoick was getting mad, he was about to retort back until Agusto got there first.

"Aye but not as worse as your boy! At least Hiccup showed respect to others!" he lowered his head however as he carried on "even when they didn't show respect to him"

From those words, most of of the councillors did the same realizing Agusto was right, non of them ever showed Hiccup the respect he deserved.

Only their disappointment.

Spitelout however was unaffected by this as he carried on his protest.

"Well what about the fire to the forge before his banishment? After all, that was the reason we banished him in the first place"

This time Gobber stood up as he glared at the Jorgenson.

"An' what make ye think it was Hiccup who did it?!" he shouted, taking Spitelout by surprise before recovering to give his reply.

"Because he was right there!"

"He's suppose te be there! He was my apprentice! I told him to stay there while I spoke to Stoick about the list of weapon available" he kept his eye upon Spitelout, whom had run out of reasons for Hiccups reasoning to be there that morning, but Gobber pressed on, determined to get his point across.

"Besides, if ye knew the boy correctly, then yew would know tha' he already accidentally set fire te the forge once before"

"So?"

"So if ye knew him well ye would know tha' when he makes a mistake, he never does it again" he paused to take a breather as Mooselegs came in with his own theory after hearing what Gobber had to say.

"So someone else did it and let Hiccup take the blame" Gobber looked at him with a smile and nodded, glad to see someone got the gist of what he was saying.

"Exactly an' I intend te find out who"

"And we banish them like we did to Hiccup?" Mulch asked as everyone looked from him to Stoick who was listening to everything that had to be said before giving his answer.

"No, since it was Hiccup who was wrongfully accused, then he should be allowed the extent of the punishment"

"Aye if ye can find out who" Spitelout retorted earning a glare from most of the council members, making him sit back and shut up with a huff as Stoick cleared his throat loudly, getting everyone's attention focused on him.

"Okay, those in favour on letting Hiccup into the village to trade raise your hand" he looked around to see Gobber, Mooselegs, Agusto, Mulch, Bucket and even Gothi raise their hands in agreement.

He wanted to smile but didn't want to look too smug in front of the others, very un-chiefton like, as he carried on talking.

"All those who oppose?"

As he looked around however, he was surprised to find that no one had put their hand up.

Not even Spitelout who just sat there scowling as he looked away from the others.

Stoick claps his hands in delight as they all agree to allow Hiccup to come to the village to trade goods.

The footing he needs to get his son back into the village and the tribe.

Once the meeting was over and everyone departed, leaving Stoick and Gobber in the great hall alone, Stoick then turned to the blacksmith to give out the rest of the plan.

"You know what to do Gobber?" he asked as Gobber raised his eyebrow but still nodded in agreement.

"Aye I do, bu' I will say Stoick tha' the meeting was the easy part, getting Hiccup te agree will be a challenge"

Stoick had to agree on that, he knew Hiccup will decline at first, and after the Snoggletog incident, will take a lot of convincing to get him to agree.

"Yes Gobber, but hopefully he will accept in the end, after all I'm doing this so he is safe"

Gobber snorted, having to stop himself from laughing which made Stoick raise an eyebrow.

"Stoick ye should know Hiccup will always be one fer danger, in fact I guarantee right now he's doing something incredibly crazy te himself..."

At this very moment deep in the forest

Squealing can be heard as a boar rushes from out of a nearby bush and into an open area of the forest, running for dear life away from something.

Or someone.

As it tries to make a break for the trees a purple blast stops it and forces the boar to change direction as it makes a break for another set of trees, but again another purple blast forces it to change course.

Eventually the boar, who was confused as to the attackers whereabouts, unmistakably heads back the way it came.

Only for it to suddenly collapse on the ground, motionless as an arrow pierces its skull deeply as another one was stuck in it's chest where the heart was, causing it to bleed out.

The owner of the arrows emerged out of the bushes a few seconds later as he cautiously walked towards the limp beast.

It wasn't the first time that young Hiccup, had been taken by surprise by one of his hunts and got a scar on his arm to remind him.

Yes his reptilian friend could have healed it completely with his saliva but Hiccup insisted on keeping it, as a remind about never underestimating your opponent.

Speaking of his reptilian, as Toothless lands right next to Hiccup watching curiously as Hiccup approaches the fallen boar.

Toothless could sense straight away that the boar was indeed dead, but it still fascinated him on the way his human companion would use long pointy sticks to take down the animal instead of using his dragons fire.

But over the time he had come to know Hiccup, Toothless had seen him do things that should be virtually impossible for his age and stature let alone by himself.

And yet here he was, surviving, proving to no one in particular that he can handle himself.

An why the boys scent seemed familiar.

Yes Toothless could smell the large leader of dragon killers in the village close by but also another.

As he was thinking about where he recognized that scent from, he didn't notice Hiccup trying to lift the slightly large boar off the ground with quite a bit of struggle.

Might be due to the fact that Hiccup had been chasing the creature for most of the day after it nearly impaled him as he was gathering plants from around the forest with him on foot with his bow and arrows and Toothless in the air trying to fire at it.

He was exhausted and even more so as he realized that he had chased it all the way to the other end of the forest.

But Hiccup wouldn't give up, he was stubborn just like Stoick and wouldn't give up.

Still he was wondering how he was going to get the carcass home in one piece.

As he grunted trying to handle the weight of the boar on his back, this snapped Toothless out of his thoughts, only to see Hiccup struggle so without hesitation, walked over to him and grabbed the lifeless boar easily off of his back and into his gummy mouth.

Hiccup just looked at the black dragon for a second in amazement, it still was a surprise to him that a dragon, a mortal enemy of Vikings, could befriend him so easily, even saving his life more than once.

Hiccup then smiled as he felt like he was cared for after all.

After a few seconds of standing, he hopped onto Toothless' back, holding on tightly to the saddle as they took off into the air.

All the time, Hiccup kept smiling.

His mood over the last month had improved.

Maybe it was that some people in the village did like him?

Maybe it was that he kicked the crap out of his lifetime bully?

Or was it because of what he did for Astrid?

He made her happy again.

He brought back her fighting spirit.

And for that, it seemed to make him happy too.

Something Toothless picked up on when his small rider came back from the village that night.

And it made him happy knowing Hiccup was too.

It only took a few minutes to get back to the cove via flying, as soon as they did, Toothless carefully dropped the boar carcass next to the open fire pit as Hiccup climbed off and started gathering up the logs from his large pile, ready to light up the fire so he could start skinning the beast in the warmth.

Lucky enough nowadays all he had to do was place the wood into the pit as Toothless would always insist on lighting it up for him, despite Hiccups protests that he didn't need to do that, but the black dragon wouldn't take no for an answer as he set a large flat stone on fire before laying down to rest while watching Hiccup curiously as he did his daily routine.

Days were spent like this where Hiccup would do one of his chores, like checking his stock, forge work, design plans, etc while Toothless would relax until he saw Hiccup relax himself and let him curl up around the Night Fury for warmth before falling asleep.

Later on in the night.

Hiccup started to toss and turn in his sleep as he began to speak.

"Momma..."

He was having a nightmare about losing his mother all over again.

Yes he was a baby when she was taken, but he still had a vague memory of that night.

He remembers waking up to a large orange and white dragon that kind of looked like an reptilian owl in the face staring back at him with large dilated eyes as his mother watched on curiously.

He could remember her face, just that he had her eyes and her hair was a darker brown to his own.

Hiccup still remembers when he got the scar on his chin, his cot accidentally moved and the dragon, who at that point let him play with one of his claws, snagged him on the chin, causing him to cry for a few seconds until he saw how wide the dragons eyes went.

And then the scene changed as fire began to spread and the dilated eyes of the dragon turned to slits.

Next thing he knew, he was being held by his father while his mother was carried off by the same dragon, never to be seen again.

Suddenly Hiccup woke up in a cold sweat, breathing heavily as tears came down his cheeks, while Toothless looked on worryingly, having heard Hiccup whimpering throughout the night.

He gave the boy a sad croon, nuzzling his head underneath Hiccups hand to show him he was there for him.

This made Hiccup smile as he rubbed the top of the dragons heard.

"It's alright bud, just a recurring nightmare I have some times, well more of a recurring memory" Hiccup said as he explained about how he lost his mother when he was a baby as Toothless kept himself curled up around Hiccup hoping for him to get back to sleep.

But now Hiccup was awake, he didn't feel like sleeping, in truth he didn't want to relive that memory again, it always plagued him at this time of year.

So instead, the duo took to the skies for a pre-dawn flight around the islands around Berk, performing wild stunts in the air that would give anyone a heart attack just by watching it.

Of course this would happen anyway by simply riding a dragon.

Hiccup didn't care, he loved the wind in his face and hair, the feeling of freedom from the ground.

And some times the saddle as he would purposely jump off once they were high enough in the air for Toothless to always catch him before he hit the ground.

A crazy thrill they both love to do while in the air until the sun starts to rise as they both land on a nearby sea stack to get a better view.

As the sun rose, Hiccup began to think on how much the people of Berk are missing by not making peace with the dragons instead of trying to kill each other.

If only they could see what he sees.

But he scoffed, knowing they are too stuck in their ways.

So after the sun had finally risen, both he and Toothless headed on home.

Hiccup knew today Gobber and Fishlegs would be visiting and wanted to make sure Toothless was safe before they arrived.

As soon as they landed, Hiccup told Toothless to come back later when they were gone to which the dragon nodded in understanding making the boy smile as Toothless spread his wings once again and took off into the sky.

He had to find out where that scent came from.

And he would find his answer from his alpha.

A couple of hours later

Hiccup had fully fired up the forge and was getting a few ingots melted by the time Gobber arrived with his usual supply of broken weapons and tools.

Hiccup still kept wondering how the village managed to break them so easily when dragons fly off when they see a sword.

But when Gobber got closer, Hiccup noticed that the huge pile of weapons he usually brought was very small.

In fact it was just half of the usual pile.

Hiccup arched his brow in confusion but kept it to himself as he greeted Gobber in his usual manner as they started to get to work on repairs.

All the time Hiccup wanted to ask why was this broken pile he sent smaller than usual but still held his tongue.

It wasn't until they were halfway through that Gobber began to give him his answer.

"I know what ye thinkin' lad, why this pile o' broken weapons is smaller than usual, am I correct?" Hiccup looked up, holding his swings from his hammer as he nodded while Gobber carried on speaking.

"Well ye see lad, I need te tell ye somethin' very important, so would ya mind putting the hammer down and sitting please" Gobber said as Hiccup slowly complied, placing him smiths hammer on a nearby bench before sitting on his chair by his desk as Gobber knelt down to be at sort of equal height level as his young friend before speaking.

He explained everything from the beginning.

His father spend days and weeks searching for a way to get Hiccup unbanished, to Hiccup shock.

The meeting to discuss this and finally the plan to bring him closer to the village via trading.

Hiccup furrowed his brow at this, the villagers wanted him back and the only way to do so is through trade routes.

Hiccup thought about this, and it made logical sense since even the chief can't unbanish someone until the five year period had passed and only then if he appealed.

Hiccup however sighed as Gobber finished explaining, taking notice of Hiccup facial expression.

He was serious.

"Look Gobber I thank you for explaining this to me and I know my dad is trying to make up for his mistakes, I see that clearly, but I can't go back that life again Gobber" he paused, seeing Gobber was about to protest so put his hand up to keep him quiet as he carried on.

"And we know nothing will change if I did come back" his expression lightened with a smile from him as he carried on.

"However, to know I can come and visit once in a while, even if its for trade purposes, maybe even help you out in the shop for old times sake" he paused again to smirk at the old blacksmith.

"After all, you're not as young you used to be" he ducked just in time as a shoe was thrown in his direction before they both laughed.

After that they went back to work finishing off the weapons before it was time to depart.

Hiccup promised Gobber he'll be at the edge of the village next week once he has a good supply ready for trading with. Mainly furs, leather and food of all sorts considering the raid problems.

Soon Hiccup was alone and was so for hours until Toothless came back from gods knows where, but Hiccup didn't question it as both he and Toothless were exhausted, Hiccup for his usual routine of chores and Toothless for long distance flying.

As Hiccup laid in his bed all he could think about what he needed to do in the next week before his visit.

Toothless too had his own thoughts to go on, mainly how he was going to convince Hiccup to come with him to the sanctuary.

One week later

It had been a tough week for Hiccup, but a very profitable one to boot as he stood on the edge of the village, carrying the good he will trade in the village.

Some wolf pelts he got from a nearby island, boar meat and leather, a basket of fish and his rucksack full of ores and his smithing tools.

He still wanted to further his blacksmithing skills and make the weapons he saw in the book he got from Fishlegs at Snoggletog, but he needed to get the right balance of metals to make them, which will take some time.

At this moment in time, he was nervous as he walked on through the village, watching its residence looking back at him.

Some in shock.

Some glared but he ignored them.

And the rest watched with interest as he made it to the forge and was greeted by Gobber and the huge pile of broken weapons from the recent raid.

Gobber was waiting for him, more surprised at what Hiccup brought with him, but was very grateful for the extra supplies.

He let Hiccup get on with the forging, trusting him with looking after the shop while Gobber informed Stoick of his sons arrival.

Hiccup wasted no time in setting to work on the broken pile as he grabbed a bent sword, inspecting how he was going to fix it before getting out his tools and setting to work.

The sound of clanging could be heard throughout the day as one by one, Hiccup had shortened the broken pile by a lot.

Working without the pressure of the village helped in his strength and confidence in his ability to mend just about anything quickly.

He heard the door to the forge open and closed and assumed it was Gobber coming back from the chiefs house so paid no attention.

Little did he know how wrong he was when he heard her voice ring out like a Valkyries call.

"Hiccup?"

Hiccup went wide eyed, realizing it wasn't Gobber but Astrid.

Unfortunately because of this momentary distraction, he didn't realize where his hammer was aiming for until it was too late and felt a surge of pain flow through him as the impact of the hammer smashed right onto his hand instead of the shovel he was working on.

Hiccup immediately let go of the hammer and went straight for his damaged hand, swearing like mad.

(AN:if you don't like swearing please look away)

"Ow fuckshittwatassholingwankingupyourarseupyourcuntgodsyoufuckingwhoreofacow!" Hiccup shouted violently as he hopped about in one spot.

(AN: Okay its safe, swearing provided by the great Brian Blessed)

Astrid blushed madly, never hearing anyone let alone Hiccup swear like that, she didn't know how colourful his vocabulary was in this situation.

Of course she never had a hammer smash onto her hand either and was grateful she never had to experience that just yet.

But she came out of her thoughts as she just realized Hiccup was in an extreme amount of pain from that impact and might have broken his hand.

"Hiccup! You alright?" she asked earning a dead-panned look from the boy.

She just realized what she said and quickly put her hand over her mouth.

"Yeah stupid question really, is there anything I can do to help?" she asked again to which she got a reply as he let go of his broken hand and pointed towards his rucksack.

" there's a green box in there, full of cloths and ointments, pass it over please" Astrid nodded, heading towards his bag and searched through it until she found the green box full of medical supplies.

Hiccup took no time in opening the box getting out the cloth and a bottle of clear fish-smelling liquid before looking at Astrid.

"Astrid I'll need your help, can you open up the bottle and pour the contents onto my hand please" Astrid nodded as she opened up the bottle, holding her breath due to the foul smell as she poured the liquid onto Hiccups broken hand before wrapping it up tightly with the cloth.

While she did that she started to make small talk to pass the time.

"So, where did you learn that sort of language from?" she asked as she made sure the wrappings were on tightly so they won't fall off.

Hiccup, while sat there simply smirked as he answered.

"When you work with Gobber you pick up all sorts of words" he chuckled.

He didn't notice at first but Astrid's blue eyes were looking directly into his.

Soon they were both transfixed by their stare.

This was one of the main features Hiccup always liked about her, her eye's were like the sea.

Beautiful, blue and very untameable, he always knew the only thing that would never change from her was those eyes, they always made him smile.

Astrid was more on the same line as him, but she never tried to take no notice of her feelings, due to her wanting to be a shield-maiden.

And shield-maidens never get giddy over a pair of eyes.

Even if they are alluring.

Both turned away at the same time, Hiccup rubbing the back of his neck with his good hand and Astrid rubbing her arm.

"Well err, I see Gobbers not here so I'll pop by later"

"Yeah, yeah you do that"

Astrid was about to walk out of the forge by turned towards Hiccup and smiled.

"It was nice seeing you again Hiccup" and with that she left.

Hiccup was still recovering when Gobber arrived in the shop a few seconds later looking rather confused as he saw Astrid run out of the forge in a hurry only to find a stunned looking Hiccup sat down with a bandaged hand.

"Trouble with the ladies I see lad" he chuckled earning a two finger salute from Hiccups good hand making Gobber laugh even harder.

After that nothing eventful happened for the rest of the day and soon, after all the work was done, it was time for Hiccup to head home.

Gobber insisted he'd take him home but Hiccup stubbornly refused, having done this route several time.

In truth Hiccups mode transport wasn't for the Viking hearts.

As he approached the edge of the village, he was suddenly knocked to the ground very hard,knocking the air out of his lungs.

Before he could recover he was being lifted off the ground by his throat by none other than a really pissed off Snotlout who was glaring back at him.

"You don't belong here runt!" he shouted right in Hiccups face.

Hiccup himself tried to move but soon realized his arms and legs were being held by the Ruffnut and Tuffnut who could only snigger at Hiccups sturggle.

"You don't belong anywhere, you're a mistake that shouldn't have lived!" he carried on while smirking "in fact the dragon should have taken you when it took your mummy, then we would have to bother with the likes of you!" Snotlout and the twins laughed, unaware of the gathering crowd.

Snotlout saw the anger in Hiccups eyes and decided to mock him for it "aww is wittle baby Hiccup gonna cwy over his dead mummy? Do you want to join he..." but he never got to finish his sentence as the blunt end of an axehead smashed right into his face, knocking him off balance and letting go of Hiccup, giving him the perfect opportunity to gets his arms released and punch the twins squarely in the face, knocking them out.

Snotlout recovered only to find he was pinned down by a boot belonging to an extremely angry Astrid.

"A-astrid! W-what brings you here b-ba..." again he was cut off as she hits him over the head with her axe again.

"Shut up you withering maggot! This is low even for you Jorgenson! Three against one and insulting someone dead mum, you should be ashamed of yourself! He's your cousin and you treat him like a plague" she practically screamed causing all around to remain silence incase she turned on them.

Hiccup finished disposing of the twin before talking to Astrid.

"Let him go Astrid" he said calmly as she looked at him very confused.

"But Hiccup he..."

"Please Astrid" he said calmly once again cutting her off as she nodded, letting go of Snotlout whom got up quite quickly smirking thinking his cousin weak for letting off so easily.

"Well I guess I was right, you are weak, can't even take down the mighty Snotlo..."

Snotlout suddenly felt a strong grip on his throat as he's thrown to a nearby house, causing the wooden wall to crack.

He looks from the arm to the owner only to be in shock at seeing Hiccup, green eyes ablaze with anger from the likes no one has ever seen before.

"Now listen here you mouldy bucket of steaming yak piss! Insult me all you like but leave my fucking mother out of it! Or so help me I'll stick my hand so far down your throat I'll rip out your gods damn spine! Do I make myself clear?!" he shouts right in his face but got no verbal answers.

However after hearing the sound of dripping water coming from underneath Snotlout, indicating he just pissed himself once again.

Hiccup smirk as he took the answer as a yes as he gave him one last slam into the wall, knocking him out, before letting him lay in the puddle of piss he formed as he walked back towards his rucksack to gather his things up before addressing the growing crowd, which contained the council and Stoick looking dumbstruck.

"It's funny really, he actually created the Hiccup you see before you, you see if he and the twin hadn't set fire to the forge that night, I wouldn't have been banished" he paused when he heard the gasps from the villagers making raise his eyebrow.

"Wait, you didn't know?" he asked as they all shook their heads in unison before he sighed and starts to walk towards the forest.

"I need some time alone please" he said as he starts to sprint towards the forest, leaving a bewildered village to deal with this new information.

After a little while of running, Hiccup finally got home before collapsing onto the ground, bursting into tears.

Not for the physical pain nor the emotional one.

But upon Snotlout dragging his mothers name through the dirt.

That hurt him more than anything.

Toothless had arrived slightly before Hiccup and saw his boy on the ground very upset.

He nudged the boys head slightly, crooning sadly as Hiccup wrapped his arms around the dragons head.

Hiccup explained what happened and to say the least that Toothless was angry.

If he'd been allowed to he would rage war against those who hurt Hiccup and make them pay.

But he also knew Hiccup wouldn't allow that.

But the black dragon know what might cheer him up as he jested for Hiccup to climb on his back for a flight.

Hiccup took the suggestion and knew a few intense falls would help him calm down so within seconds jumps onto Toothless and they dart off into the air and far away from Berk.

Hiccup didn't notice for a few minutes that they were heading south until he saw Islands he didn't recognise.

"Err bud, aren't we going a little off course?" he said as the Night fury roared at Hiccup to trust him.

It didn't take long but, as Hiccup looked on into the setting sky light, he notices a landmass that was pure white and blue.

Like it was made of ice.

Toothless started to head toward the landmass before diving into a nearby cave as he twisted and turned to avoid the walls.

"B-bud! Where are we going? We don't know what's in..." but Hiccup pauses as the walls suddenly open up to a large green island full of thousands of dragons, some flying around and some sleeping on edges.

"...here" he breathed out, finishing off his last sentence as Toothless lands allowing Hiccup to climb off and look around.

Some of the dragons start to land nearby too, curious to their new arrivals, causing Toothless to wrap himself around Hiccup protectively as the said boy watch curiously, and even holds his hand out towards one of them like he did to gain Toothless' trust.

Before he could though he hears a thud behind him, causing the dragons to back off and making Hiccup turn around in shock at what landed.

It was that dragon from his nightmares, the one who took his mother away.

Same orange and white markings as well as the blue line under its jaw.

But Hiccup also saw it had a rider, one in full armour and some strange sort of mask.

The masked figure slowly approached the pair as Toothless still was wrapped around Hiccup protectively until the rider waved their arm over him, causing him to collapse in sheer bliss before approaching Hiccup.

The first looked at his green eyes before putting their gloved hand over his face.

That was until the got to his chin and saw the slightly faded scar there, they back off slightly as they began to speak in a feminine voice.

"H-hiccup?" she said as she remove her mask revealing herself as a middle aged woman with brown braided hair and green eyes similar of that to Hiccups.

Her expression was of shock at who was standing right in front of her.

"C-could it really be you?"

Hiccup looked confused as he began to speak.

"D-do I know you?" he asked but something in the back of his mind was telling him that he had seen her somewhere before.

But where?

"I suppose not" she looked down in shame which got Hiccup more curious as she carried on "you were only a babe when I was taken"

She then looked up with the same eyes like his and suddenly his memory start to piece together who she is.

"But a mother never forgets"

Hiccup was taken aback at first, he didn't know what to think, he was told she died being taken by a dragon, but from how Toothless and the other dragons were with him, it seemed less possible she was.

Hiccups eyes started to well up however as his heart began to race.

Suddenly he rushed into her arms, hugging her as he buried his face in between her neck and shoulder blade crying his eyes out.

"Momma!" he mumbled while still crying, causing her to cry, finally being reunited with her son once again.

Hiccup had a lot of questions to ask her.

But right now that could wait.

Right now he was happy.

His mother is alive.
