Chapter 2: Observations
Henry knew he wasn't exactly ordinary, but he also knew he wasn't exactly special either. He saw two kids, roughly a year or so older then him, land dragons in the woods. He didn't know who they were or why they had landed, but what he did know was that they had not been here before, and they obviously had traveled using some kind of dimension travel, which was exactly what Henry needed to get to his mom. He decided that he would go up to the two new comers and find out exactly who they were and what they wanted. He was about to go up to them when he looked more closely at the boy and the dragon he was the rider of. The first thing he noticed was that he was missing his left foot; the second thing he noticed was that the dragon was missing its left tail wing. Both had some kind of mechanical replacement for what they were missing. He decided to ask questions first, and tell someone else later. Henry got up from his hiding place and walked over to the two teens. As he did, the two teens spotted him, and ran for their weapons. Henry put his hands up, and walked calmly over to them.
"Who are you?" The boy asked.
"My name is Henry, Henry Mills." Henry replied.
"Nice to meet you Henry, I'm Hiccup." Hiccup said, putting down his dagger and calming toothless.
"I'm Astrid." Astrid said after exchanging a glance with Hiccup.
"Now why were you watching us?" Hiccup asked.
"Because I wanted to ask you something." Henry replied.
"And that question is?" Hiccup asked.
"How did you get here? You obviously used some kind of magic." Henry said.
"We flew through a magical gateway, I didn't summon it, why are you looking for a magic portal?" Hiccup said.
"My mom and grandmother are stuck in another realm and I was hoping to find a way to get to them." Henry replied.
"Sorry, I can't help you." Hiccup said.
"Well I should probably be getting back to my grandfather." Henry said.
"Alright then." Hiccup said.
Suddenly there was a loud boom in the town, Hiccup and Astrid mounted their dragons. And Henry ran into town. There in the center of the town was a giant dragon. It had blue scales, wings on its back, and it looked as if it was death itself. Hiccup recognized it as a blue version of the red death. Hiccup realized that they were the best chance to save the town. He flew towards the beast, lured it into the sky, and took it down the same way he did the red death, but unlike defeating that one he did not lose his leg to the beast. He then proceeded to throw the entire town off his tail by flying above the clouds, and then he landed back at camp and met up with Astrid.
"Well what now? They are going to be looking for us." Astrid said.
"But they do not know what we look like, so we just need to hide out for a little while." Hiccup replied.
"Well we are going to need supplies, and lets hope that Henry doesn't reveal our location to any of the others."
"And if he does?"
"Then we are going to have a lot of explaining to do."
"Right, I say we move camp so even if Henry tells them where we are they won't find us."
"Alright, I suppose that's a good idea."
