Seven things Stoick knew

by lDragonElf

While the world was a truly strange place, there were some things that Stoick knew, of which there could be no doubt. Perhaps it was a father's intuition. Perhaps a gift, or a curse, to know with such certainty. A series of short drabbles from Stoick's pov, set cronologically throughout the movie series.

7. Protect

7) Stoick would die, rather than allow his son to be harmed.

.o.o.o.

Stoick heard the enormous creature move, and saw its direction. It was heading right towards where Hiccup was trying to reason with Drago. Panic coursed through him, and with a cry he ran. He could sense more than see Valka following close on his heels, he was so glad to have her at his side once more, but that joy was covered by a growing terror as he watched the proceedings below.

.o.

Toothless had turned on Hiccup. The boy was backing away slowly, talking desperately, trying to reach the dragon, but he kept advancing, every nuance of his posture threatening death.

Stoick ran. Obstacles in his path were nothing. The only thought in his mind was that he had to reach his son in time.

.o.

Hiccup was backed up against a wall of ice, and the night fury prepared a plasma blast.

Stoick charged, he barely registered Hiccup's cry to stop, but he would not stop. He would protect the child that meant everything to him.

He leapt, colliding bodily with his son and knocking him aside, just as the dragon fired.

.o.

He'd known Toothless would kill him, but the choice was his own.

.o.o.o.

So, That's the end. It kind of hurt to write that part, but there you have it. My imaginings on what Stoick was thinking during key moments of the movies.

let me know what you thought please.
