Alright so I know this is not a chapter, but I needed to explain something. The next chapter is going to be Hiccup telling his story to Astrid, Snotlout, Fishlegs, Ruffnut and Tuffnut. I will take some things from the very first chapter, but otherwise it's completely new. Also, don't hate me if something's don't match up because I'm trying my best with this story. Know this as well, I am very sorry I have not posted anything to this story in a while, but I have to balance school work and of course school as well as this story. Hopefully I can get really into writing new chapters and stuff because I have a week off right now. I also have an upcoming musical for school that I am working backstage for so that's another thing. Anyways, sorry this isn't a chapter, but I just needed to tell you guys this stuff. It's kind of like a notice for why I'm not posting stuff often. Anyways, the next chapters going to be everything you need to know about where Hiccup disappeared to for the first nine years of his life. Enjoy!
