Hey guys, quick A/N here. The first OC character is me, I put myself into the story because I felt Hiccup shouldn't have to go through this story alone (Read 'The Real Hero' by SnowFlower Frost, you will understand what I mean by some parts, the first major thing that is going to happen is going to be directed towards Hiccup and Hicstrid fans (I thought about this and I am going to add in the second worst thing to happen to Hiccup). Gtg now so yeah, Read The Real Hero first.

LIES AND DECEPTIONS
Chapter 1: The Beginning
Hiccup's POV:
Two months, two months since me, my brothers Connor (Yes I know, not original but I like it because he is my brother) and Toothless had defeated the Red Death in Helheim's Gate, or more commonly known as Dragon Island, my first brother, Connor, is a lot like me, tall, unmuscular, Jade Green eyes like our mother. Connor and I were pretty much useless back in Berk, but this isn't the normal Berk during the dragon raids, this Berk is much more civilized as we have made an everlasting friendship and bond with the dragons that live here with us, they help us out with everyday tasks like fishing, cutting trees, building new structures, hunting (I don't see why we need to hunt for food if we have fish, bread and mead) and the occasional training, see we don't train to kill dragons, we train dragons to help us, but to Connor and I, it feels like we are training each other, we train the dragons and the dragons train us, it may sound weird at first but let me explain, Connor and I are the only two "Vikings" that are smarter than even the chief or our father, our father being the chief, his full title is Chief Stoic the Vast, chief of the village of Berk and the father of the first dragon rider. Oh I almost forgot about my other brother, he is Toothless, Toothless is a dragon but no ordinary one, he is the "Unholy offspring of lightning and death itself". Connor, Toothless and I are practically brothers because of our bond with each other, he all have the same Jade Green eyes, thirst for knowledge and our natural curiosity. Connor and Toothless have are secretly together, partners for life if you want to say, they ABOLUTLY love each other and will never let it go away, Toothless told me that if Connor was captured that his love will grow even stronger and Connor has told me the same. Connor and I have been able to understand dragons for about seven months, we shot Toothless out of the sky six months before we killed the Red Death but was only able to understand one month after Connor, Toothless and I became friends. Enough of all that stuff that already pasted, let's what is happening today.
"Hiccup wake up now, you still do remember what today is right?" Asked Connor while I tried to go back to sleep.
"Why don't you tell me what today is and then let me sleep, Ok?" I asked.
"You seriously don't remember today, man how much mead did you drink last night?" Connor said in a shocked voice.
"I only drank about 2 barrels, not much to warrant a total memory wipe, now do please tell me what I need to remember" I asked in a sarcastic voice.
"Today you're going to ask Astrid to marry you, you even wrote it down just in case this happened" Whispered Connor as he practically shove the note into my face.
"WHAT, OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT" I yelled at the top of my lungs and ran out the room to get changed into my regular attire.
"Hiccup please keep it down I am trying to sleep, we had a late night flight again and we did that sky jump thing again, also Connor do you have any thoughts that you might kill yourself doing that?" Questioned Toothless as he moved his tailfin to see us.
"No not really, I just practice until we can get it right without any problems." Connor said plainly as he came to sit down next to Toothless.
"How do I look? Too much or not enough?" I asked as I came out of the room.
"I thought you were going to ask her while you were in the forge?" Asked Connor as he raided his eyebrow.
"I am, it's just…" "I understand, you're nervous of what you going to say and if you are going to screw it up or not, my tip is just be yourself, how do you think you know about me and Toothless." I said before Connor interrupted me.
"Ok I see your point, what should I give her?" I frantically asked.
"You don't have anything to give her?" Yelled Toothless.
"I knew this was going to happen, here." Snorted Connor as he pulled out a small black box the size of a ring.
"C…Connor, this is so beautiful, h…how did you make this?" I stuttered as I looked at the ring.
"I used a scale from Stormfly and heated it up using Toothless' plasma blast, before I did anything I went over to Stormfly and asked if I can have a scale and a spike from her, she said yes and asked why, I told her I was making rings for everyone because of how close all the teens have gotten over the last two months and I was going to make rings to make a group but since you said you were going to ask Astrid to marry you I waited until know to see if you need the ring or not." Spoke Connor as he got up to hand me the other rings, they all have different colours to represent which box is which.
"Connor I have to go now, thank you so much for the ring and I am sure she will say yes." I said as I ran towards the door.
"No problem Hiccup." Yelled Connor as he went to close the door to the outside world.
Hiccup's POV-Forge
I am going to make a sword for Astrid and give it to her along with the ring Connor made for Astrid, when I got to the forge I found a note along with a bucket of blue scales and a cast for a double-sided axe lying near the furnace.
'I can't believe Connor knew what I was going to do, maybe I should ask him how?' I thought to myself as I read the note.
"Hey Hiccup, thought you might make an axe for Astrid as a part of asking her to marry you so I thought why not make it out of something she cherishes, you may need to get a Gronckle to help out with melting the scales but that shouldn't be a problem, forgot to tell you before you left, me and Toothless are going to go and explore the uncharted areas and look for a nice spot to rest at, if you need anything just get Deadeye (Deadeye is Sharpshot's brother in my story) to get me and I will be right over. Hope you make the axe the way you feel is going to be perfect, see ya soon.
-Connor and Toothless'
"Oh, that is very nice of him but also very scary that he knew what I was going to do." I said in a skeptical way.
"What's scary lad?" Said Gobber as he walked through the front door.
"Oh just that Connor knew I was going to make an axe and he had everything I need already set." I confessed as I moved the scales under the table, out of view from prying eyes. A couple of months ago Connor found a way to make weapons and tools out of scales and added metal a few weeks later so that the weapons looked normal but had properties of a scale, which is basically unbreakable and fire-proof.
"Oh so I suppose those scales under the table don't have anything to do with the axe then." Said Gobber as his hammer attachment for his regular hook attachment.
"Oh those, those are for Connor's suit he is making, he said he might try making a suit or some clothing out of scales and see if he gets burned, funny thing actually he said he will get the twins to help out, not sure why though." I lied as I put my hand to my chin in a thinking stance.
"Maybe it is because they are so good at destroying stuff, even better that you and Connor before the dragons showed up, but now they are the rulers of explosions." Stated Gobber before he closed the door. I shrugged the thought out of my head and began to as I began to melt the scales using the furnace, as I threw the scaled into the mold and set the furnace on fire I noticed it was a lot hotter in here that I was used to, I checked the buckets around the furnace and found a bucket of magnesium rocks, I really have to ask Connor how he knows these thing, I pulled out my journal and wrote my self-note and slid my journal back in my vest.
7 hours later-Hiccup's POV-Forge
I am working on the details on the axe which I was copying from a book I found in the Great Hall, it had different styles of detain like flowers and vines to skulls and bones, I chose more shield-maiden like one which had shields and axes as well as the word Valkyrie and Astrid inscribed into it, I remembered what the word Astrid meant, it means 'Devine Beauty' which is an understatement when it comes to Astrid. I just finished working on the axe when I heard a loud bang from outside, I thought it was the twins again but I heard it again but closer, I realized that it was Astrid because I asked her to come to the forge at this time. I got to the door and opened it up.
"I am SO sorry Astrid, I thought it was the twins again but I remembered I asked you to come here at this time." I pleaded as I unlocked the door only to see a….
BAM, cliff hanger right here, I had thought about this the whole time and came up with the next part being the part (Pardon my French) where shit goes down for the first time, I am trying my hardest to get as much as I possibly can, I have to do this when I get home from school and it doesn't help when I am a gamer, but I shoved that gaming felling and wrote/ typed this. I hope that you can forgive me with the cliff hanger, I am anxious myself to see how well this does with you guys. See ya next time.
