I'm pretty eager to start this chapter, because I get to use my imagination to as how Hiccup found the Edge. And yes, I have decided that Hiccup will be missing his left leg. (SORRY) On with the chapter!

6 years ago

Hiccup alongside his companion Toothless had defeated the Red Death and saved hundreds of dragons! That meant that dragon raids were no longer neccesary. He had finally, truly ended a three-hundred year war. Which was pretty cool considering he was only 15 at the time. Unfortunately, he would never be whole again. In an effort to save his rider from being burned, Toothless had held on him by his left leg. When all the smoke was gone, the other dragons could make out Toothless lying in a heap on the ground. They gently nudged him and he slowly opened his eyes. He revealed Hiccup unconscious. A few dragons noticed his left leg...or what remained of it. Judging by the amount of blood he lost, he needed help and soon. Seeing as Toothless had burned his prosthetic tail, 3 or so dragons flew him and his rider to an island inhabited by The Defenders of the Wing.

"My Queen, dragons incoming!" Said a young man who had orangey-red hair tied back in a ponytail

"It appears they are carrying something with them." A villager noticed

Just then the dragons landed revealing the Night Fury and his downed rider

"Stand back." The queen commanded. She had flaxen blonde hair cut short in a style like a mans and olive eyes. She was wearing black armor with gold borders. She was one person you did not want to mess with.

She slowly approached the Night Fury and held out her hand. Toothless growled.

"Shhhhh now. I'm not going to hurt you. Let me heal your rider." Saying so she gently took a look at Hiccup's leg

"We will be able to heal him. Relax and rest for some time." She said to the dragon

"Throk, help me carry him into the healing hut." The young man with a ponytail stepped forward to help her

1 week later

Hiccup was awoken to the smell of fishy breath (Eww). As he slowly opened his jade eyes he saw two more emerald eyes staring and sniffing at him expectantly.

"Toothless!" Hiccup said and gave his dragon a huge hug

"It's nice to see you awake." Said a mysterious yet gentle voice.

"What?! Who are you? Where am I? What am I doing here?" Hiccup asked

"Easy now. I am Mala. Queen of the Defenders Of the Wing island. You are on Caldera Cay. You were brought here by a group of wild dragons along with your own dragon. You were both wounded but should be better now I think."

As Hiccup tried to stand up he felt an odd sensation in his legs. It was almost like he was missing one. He gulped and drew back the blankets and was shocked by what he saw. Toothless cooed in guilt. Hiccup then realized what had happened.

"I'm sorry that we couldn't save your leg. I hope that this can replace it." Mala said softly

In place of his leg there was a metal prosthetic. Hiccup took a deep breath and tried walking. He fell, but was caught by Toothless.

"Here at Caldera Cay, we live among dragons. We give them no harm, and they us." She explained "Everything here is dragon-friendly."

Hiccup nodded at her

"Thank you for saving our lives." Hiccup said, truly grateful

"It's nothing. Now tell me how you ended up like this." Mala asked

Quickly, Hiccup narrated everything that had happened to him over the past few days. Mala's gentle face turned into that of disgust and horror.

"They forced you to KILL those innocent creatures?" Mala said shocked "It's a good thing you left. You'll find yourself more than comfortable here. We'll have a hut built for you and see to it that-" Mala continued on

Hiccup still couldn't believe it. He would never have to return to Berk again.

"Alright then Hiccup? Come now and I'll show you around the village." Mala opened the door to not only the hut, but a new life.

3 years later

Life was perfect. Hiccup was accepted by the villagers and everyone treated him quite kindly. He had found some friends as well. Dagur had survived the war with the Berkians and travelled before they found this island with his sister. A young girl Hiccup's age with raven black hair and sharp green eyes like that of her brother's. Her name was Heather. She had befriended a Razorwhip named Windshear during her time at Caldera Cay. Her brother on the other hand had a Tryple Stryke, he called Sleuther. After Hiccup told them what happened on Berk, they no longer saw him as a threat and became close friends. Dagur even playfully called Hiccup 'Brother'.

Hiccup also met a kind, rather plump girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. She reminded him about Fishlegs because of her never-ending knowledge of dragons. Together the duo had started a Book on Dragons. Last, but certainly not the least was Gustav. Gustav was arrogant, stubborn and his words of advice usually made no sense. He was like a mini version of Snotlout. Even though he was younger then the others by 3 years, he still demanded on joining them. How typical.

Anyways, Hiccup had grown bored of village life. Everyday was like a constant routine for him, with the odd new dragon or so. He wanted to go and discover new lands, track down every last species of dragons there was. But that wasn't possible on Caldera Cay.

But now, 18 years old and able to take care of himself. He gathered up the courage to go and ask Mala if he could explore.

"Mala! Do you have a moment?" Hiccup asked as soon as he found her in the village square.

"Of course Hiccup." Mala smiled at him. Over the years she had grown quite fond of the lad, what with his never ending courage, determination and questions about the world.

"I, w-ell I, y-yo-u see ." Hiccup stammered nervously

"You want to see the world is it?" Mala asked with a chuckle

Hiccup's face turned to that of a surprised one. "How did y-?"

He was cut off by Mala's answer

"Well, I was actually wondering when you would ask me. Hiccup you are the most determined, stubborn, curious young man I have ever met. Go and the see the world. It's about time really."

"YAY!" Hiccup yelled

"But," Mala added. Of course there was a catch, Hiccup thought "You can't go by yourself. Take your friends with you. I'm sure they'll understand." Maya said warmly

Sure enough, the next morning the riders were ready to go.

"Just a minute. Stay safe all of you." Mala said. They all nodded. Hiccup suddenly went and gave Mala a hug. She was the closest thing he had to a parent ever. She was startled but in a nice way.

"Take care." She whispered in his ear.

"Alright then gang. Let's get this show on the road!" Hiccup yelled

"Into the great beyond!" Eira yelled

"Into the great beyond!" yelled Gustav

"The great beyond!" Heather yelled

"Let's go!" Saying so, Dagur took off. All the riders followed in pursuit.

3 years later

Dagur had just returned from his little spying mission and immediately went to the clubhouse, with Sleuther close behind.

"HICCUP! Hiccup you were right. Trader Johann went and blabbed everything to those no-good Berkians. I always knew we couldn't trust him." Dagur said angrily

"Did you see their ship? How far out was it?" Eira asked

"Near Wingmaiden island." Dagur replied. Over the years, the gang had made many allies such as the Wingmaidens, the Outcasts and the remaining survivors of the Berserker tribe. Speaking of which, had been safely relocated to another island with Dagur as their chief. But when he was at the edge a man named Agnor was in charge. They had also made some enemies such as Ryker, Viggo and Krogan. Thank goodness they were all gone now. They attempted to to capture the King of Dragons, but of course Hiccup and the gang had stopped them.

Hiccup was worried. He couldn't go back. What if Berk couldn't accept dragons as their friends instead of foe? Dragons was his life. He turned to look at Heather. She had become his No.1 support over the past few years. She always knew what to say.

She grinned and said "How about we give them a warm 'welcome' Hiccup?"

"I don't get why we wou- OH!" Gustav said

"Lets get out there dragons blazing!" Eira excitedly said "It's been too long since we had an adventure."

"No. I have to be the one to 'welcome' them." Hiccup said sternly

"Very well." Gustav grumbled

"They're getting closer to the edge Hiccup! If you want to strike you had better do it now." Heather said looking at the Berkian ship through her spy glass

Hiccup whistled for his dragon and took off. You all already know what happens next.

And another chapter finished! Sorry it took me so long. I was either too busy with schoolwork or was too lazy. It is starting too get pretty hectic now balancing this story with all my homework. So from now on, I'll only publish new chapters every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I follow India Standard Time, BTW. Until then though, bye!
