Hello people! Okay so the deal with this one-shot was after watching The Legend Of Korra final! It was great by the way and I got this funny idea and so my brain kind of clicked and I grabbed my iPod and got crackin! After emailing it to myself I kind of went over it fixing a few things here and there and well this came up... It was fun to write so I hope you enjoy reading!

The sound of a horn made Hiccup jump and drop the sword he was sharpening onto the rotating stone, which caused the sword to go flying and cement itself into the wooden wall.
Hiccup stared at it for a moment and just shook his head, it wasn't like it was the first time, and so with only a quick mutter of "I'll get it later" he made his way out of the smith, and out into the open, where he saw people standing around in puzzlement. The alarm was usually saved for dragon raids, but it was the middle of the day, and dragons never attacked at those times.
Hiccup thought for a moment before deciding to go find his dad, and his first guess was down by the docks.
He ran towards the docks passing other villagers on his way. Just as he turned the corner he slammed into someone and fell back.
"Sorry!" Hiccup said in a hurry as he scrambled to stand, "I didnt-"
"Watch where your going." The person snapped.
Hiccup couldn't help but blush as he saw who he had bumped into. Astrid was still standing and did not look happy.
"S-s-sorry A-Astrid I was just..." But he trailed of as Astrid turned and ran towards his house, and by his guess she was looking for his dad too.
He debated on whether calling out to her, but thought better of it. He took off down the hill and towards the docks.
He saw people gathered down near the docks. He stayed back, finally seeing why the alarm had been blown.
It was a ship, not the biggest, but it wasn't small either, and it was close, he could already see a couple of crew men. Was it a raid? Another tribe? On closer examinations Hiccup felt he'd seen the ship before, just didn't know where.
Finally deciding to make his way down towards the docks Hiccup jumped down and paused for a moment and tried to figure out how to get past everyone. He managed to squeeze his way through to the front of the crowd, using his small size to his advantage, for once it was useful.
His dad along with Gobber were standing in front of the crowd, and by the look on their faces the ship wasn't a threat. Gobber was smiling and his dad seemed like he was told Hiccup had done something stupid again, something really stupid.
"Dad what's going on?" Hiccup asked stepping forward to stand beside his dad.
"Hiccup?" Stoic said turning around to look at his son, "What are you- never mind, just get back to the smith, this is no place for you."
"But dad-" Hiccup started, but cut off when Gobber spoke.
"Come on let the boy stay, don't you want him to meet his uncle?" Gobber said with a mischievous look on his face, "You know he was bond to meet him some day."
"Wait my uncle-"
"WWAAWHHOOO!"
A man's scream filled the air and Hiccup turned to see a man standing on the very top of the ship. The man wasn't viking size, which was strange because Hiccup hadn't seen anyone like that before, and as far as he could see the man wasn't the tallest either.
Stoick groaned, rubbing his forehead, and muttering something under his breath.
"Um dad?" Hiccup asked as the man continued to yell out and wave his arms at them.
"Don't worry about it Hiccup," Gobber said as he placed a hand on Hiccup's shoulder, "just wait till you meet you're Uncle Ulfr, you're mother's brother."
"Wait mom had a brother-"
A splash caught his attention and Hiccup saw the man had fallen off the ship and the crew were scrambling around to get a boat down.
"Yup tha's 'im, yer Uncle Ulfr," Stoick said, "Also known as the Wolf of the Sea, a great explorer, and thief."
Ulfr was swimming to shore still grinning like a maniac as he finally reached the dock, with a boat following behind him.
"Stoick!" Ulfr said as he pushed himself out of the water and ran up to embrace the said man.
"Good to see ya again! I see ye haven't lost any weight! And you still have a great helmet!" Ulfr said all in one breathe as he snatched Stoick's helmet off his head and placing it on his head.
"Ulfr," Stoick said trying to stay calm and not strangle the man, "What are you doin' 'ere?"
"Came here to visit, restock on supplies if you'll be so kind." Ulfr said with a shrug, the helmet still on his head, "We were passing by the island and I haven't been 'ere in years, and I've been meaning to come by." He grinned as he clapped his hands together, "Now where's me nephew?"
Hiccup tried hiding behind Gobber, but Gobber only helped by guiding him to Ulfr.
"Right 'ere, and it's good to see ya again, any good stories you won't mind sharing?" Gobber said with a toothy grin.
"Gobber! Good to see you! We'll most of you, but you still look great! Oh wait till I tell ye about the time I broke both my arms and fought my way through a whole mob with nothing, but my mouth, and dagger! And is this little Hiccup?" Ulfr said as he looked Hiccup.
Hiccup had been wrong, Ulfr was about the same height as his dad, but he was leaner which probably helped since extra weight would be bad if you lived out at sea. His brown hair was messy, sticking out in random directions, his eyes were green and freckles covered his tan skin, and other then the tan he somewhat looked like Hiccup.
Ulfr was studying Hiccup, looking him up and down, poking at his face, before smiling, showing off his golden tooth.
"It is!" He said as he picked Hiccup up and spun him around and then placing him down. "You've gotten pretty big since I've see ya! We'll not the biggest, but still at least you know you're growin! Oh I got you something too!" He quickly pulled out a pouch which he jingled and placed in Hiccup's hand.
"Been saving small knickknack's since I didn't know what to get you, and you weren't very specific when you were two, and I didn't exactly know what a 'Unckie wa chu beknee' was so I just got whatever caught my attention, my favorite one in here has to be the tooth I knocked out of a pirates mouth when we raided his ship!" Ulfr said grinning like a maniac.
"Ulfr!" Stoick finally snapped. "I don't know your reason's but why are ya 'ere?"
Ulfr turned around and faced Stoick. Ulfr sighed and crossed his arms.
"Hiccup hold my leg for a moment." Ulfr said while Hiccup did that and stood there awkwardly.
"Believe it or not, I came here to visit, and you think I don't miss dry land?"
Stoick glared at him.
"Okay you got me, we need supplies, our last bins of food and rum blew up on our last adventure, and Berk was the closest island, that and I still have a couple of Snoggletog presents that were pilling up for Hiccup here." Ulfr said as he stood up straight, "and now," he tossed Stoick's helmet back to him." I have a nephew to catch up with."
Yup that's pretty much the idea. Coming up with Ulfr was kind of fun, and Ulfr means 'wolf' by the way.
