Disclaimer: if only I owned how to train your dragon

The real beginning

Toothless laid his head on my shoulder. I look at everyone not saying anything. There was nothing to say if I only had come sooner.

I found myself in the graveyard not only staring at my mother's grave now. I saw Toothless beside me all he could do was purr. I wasn't alone the whole Viking village was there they had just lost a chief. Hours passed little by little people left until it was Gobber, Astrid, Toothless, and me.

"Hiccup I'm so sorry for your loss," Astrid told me. Then I realized she gave me a hug I gave one back. I felt something else hugging us I notice it was Toothless. I didn't know what to say.

Later on I found myself staring at a wall. Toothless licked my face to wake me up.

"Thanks I needed that," I told him wiped my face with my sleeve. I gave out a sigh and I went to bed. I felt something on my forehead. I looked at what it was a painting. I stare at it was a drawing of my dad and my mom carrying me. Toothless must have found this.

"Where you find this?" I asked him. He walked out the door I followed him we entered my Father's room. He put his head under the pillow. I saw papers sticking out. I took them out was a map of the archipelago of all the islands and tribes. I saw the papers where sort off connected. I lay them out in the ground try to see the puzzle. I notice my dad was drawing the globe he even showed at the edge boats falling off. I wipe the tears out of my eyes. I won't cry anymore I will make my Dad proud be the best chief. I pick up the papers and call a meeting in the mead hall the next night.

I didn't think the whole meeting through what do I say? Hey I'm you chief now. Nope that will just sound weird. Gobber stepped in the mead hall he always gave me advice.

"Gobber how do I give a speech?" I asked him. He seems too sad about my Dad's death.

"You just make the people laugh," He said almost wanting me to leave. I didn't know what to say.

"My father would have done a better job than I did. Who am I kidding I will be the worse," I said not noticing I was saying my thoughts out loud.

"Hiccup, may I speak to you?" Gobber asked me. I was noticing I was talking my thoughts out loud.

"Yes," I said trying not to show how embarrassed I was.

"When you talk to the village you talk to them like if they were your friend," He told me.

"Thanks," I told him. He gave a sigh.

"Hiccup, I'm very sorry you discovered the truth must be really tough on you," Gobber told me.

"It's okay I know they did that to protect me. Do you think I will ever find my real parents?" I asked him.

"I don't know," Gobber told me.

"I wouldn't like to meet them they almost tried to kill me," I answered that.

"Hiccup, you never know," Gobber told me.

"Do you think I may be at least be an average chief?" I asked him.

"No you will be way worse I fear for the end of this tribe," Gobber sarcastically pointed out.

"Thanks I needed that," I sarcastically pointed it out.

"Just be the chief," Gobber told me. I heard people come in. I gulp as I started walking in front of everyone. Toothless stood beside me standing tall. I take a deep breath.

"Hairy Hooligans," I stop people stare at me. Talk to them as a friend how hard can that be." I'm very sad we lost someone important last night. I'm here to announce that I will take over as chief of the tribe. Please trust me and I had given a promise. That promise that I meant to keep that I will try my best to be a great ruler," I said. Astrid started to clap as everyone else followed. I saw Gobber smiling at me.

"So um… how's it going?" I asked. They were confused.

"Um… fine," I heard someone say. Silence filled the room what else do I say. Get out? They stood all their eyes staring at me. Gobber did a face palm on his face. I look at him he gestured me to keep on going.

"Uh…. So," I saw everyone I was begging for help. I heard a scream all eyes turn around.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!" Ack shouted. I stare out the door everyone went into panic. Not the panic in scared wanting to attack whoever was attacking us. I quickly ran outside to see what it was. Dragon's in full speed attacking throwing fire. I never have seen a dragon like that one. Well there's one.

"Toothless?" I asked he can't fly that's not him. I finally got a bit of glimpse to see it was a night fury. Not only one many. Where was Toothless?

I turn around to see people staring at me for commanding tactics.

"Try to move the night furies of the island by making them mad," I said thinking. They all nodded headed unto to dragons. They rise up I was dragonless I quickly try to look for Toothless. I saw something trembling. I saw it was Toothless.

"Bud come on we have to go," I told him he wouldn't move. He looked away terrified moving away.

"It's going to be okay bud trust me we won't hurt them," I told him. He wouldn't look at me he seemed to depress. He was the only dragon of species on this island to see them come and they're a threat. He gave me a look. He then got me by the coat I always have my equipment with me sometimes. We flew quickly to the sky.

We were finally in the sky it was dark. They were smart to attack at night. I saw Fishlegs with his shield hit to scare them away. Tuffnut and Ruffnut teasing them they got furious they concentrated more on their fire than flying made them easier to see.

A night fury began to growl at Toothless even stopped flying fast. The plan was working they were mad. Toothless growled back. Toothless went running off as the night fury started chasing him. I hold on tight I saw Toothless looking sad. We got the last night fury off the island. I saw joy in everyone's faces. Maybe I may not be the worse chief in the world, an average military tactic.

I saw a night fury throw lightning at us.

"Toothless move!" I shouted he didn't move and froze in fear.
