Great Hall-Stoic's POV
"QUIET!" Yelled Stoic as the hall grew quiet. Everyone took seats at the tables and intently listened to what Stoic had to say.
"I received a letter from trader Johann today, telling me that chief Mogadon from the Meathead tribe will be visiting sometime this year and we all know what he's like." Said Stoic as people began to chatter once again.
"He takes what he wants and never returns it."
"He steals one of a kind artifacts and hides them where no one will find them."
"Exactly, and he is here to finally meet the Dragon Conqueror."
"What are we going to do? Hiccup and Connor can't possibly fight someone like that on their own."
"Right again. That's why I've got a plan that'll make sure Mogadon doesn't target them." Said Stoic as he explains his plan.
Couple of minutes later:
"It a perfect plan, nothing could go wrong." Said everyone in the room.
"You're insane Stoic." Said Gobber.
"No I'm not, it's a plan that I say will work and we'll do it."
"They might not forgive ya if ya do this."
"They will, eventually." Said Stoic sadly as he left the Great Hall. Berk is going to be very different from now on until the Meatheads leave.
Chief's House-Hiccup's POV- same time as meeting
"So why don't we get to go to the meeting?" Asked Connor as he got up from his bed.
"I don't know, Gobber told me there was a meeting and we weren't allowed to go, I asked why and he said it was a surprise and walked away." I said as I drank some water from my cup and placed it on my bed side table. I sat next to Toothless and scratched his neck and he purred and placed his snout into my stomach, while placing his head into my lap, I hugged him around the neck and kissed his forehead.
"Hiccup, you don't need to hide it, I know you love Toothless." Said Connor, I looked a bit worried because he knew.
"What?"
"I clearly saw you kiss his forehead when you hugged him, just please tell me this, when did you start felling this way?"
"Oh all right, I felt this way right after Astrid beat me up in the forge, I looked into Toothless' eyes and I saw the same thing I saw in Astrid, only more real." I confessed.
"Ok, I won't tell anyone, just please tell me these things, I support you on everything remember?"
"Yeah, I just thought you might think differently of me if you knew."
"WHAT!? Gods no Hiccup, I say you two are perfect for each other, if you both like each other than I say go for it." Said Connor. Toothless and I looked at each other and smiled.
"I'll leave you two love birds alone." Said Connor with a smile and left the room, the minute he did me and Toothless immediately started a long and passionate kiss.
Connor's POV
I sighed as I heard Hiccup moan whilst they kissed.
'I love Toothless like you do Hiccup, but you deserve him for what happened between you and Astrid.' I thought as I lied down on the couch and fell asleep. Just before I drifted off I got the chills, sitting next to the fire. I only got chills when I felt something bad might happen.
The next day-Connor's POV
'CRASH' I woke up with my Bowrd in my hand, ready to fight anyone I see. I looked around the room to see what happened, nothing. I sighed and got up from the couch, remembering that today I take over for Hiccup in the forge. I place my Bowrd back on the hook of my belt and went upstairs to see if Hiccup woke up yet, I got to the door only to see the most cutest thing ever, Hiccup was curled up on top of Toothless stomach and Toothless held Hiccup in a hug with his paws. I smiled and closed the door, not wanting to keep Gobber waiting any longer. I made my way outside and the bright light of the sun blinded me. I started to make my way to the forge, only to accidently bump into someone and apologized.
"Watch where you're going!" he said before taking his cart and continued his journey.
'Well, that escalated quickly' I thought as I heard someone say my old nickname.
"Oi, go somewhere where your wanted, freak."
'What the hell, what did I do so bad that I get called freak again.' I thought as I entered the forge where Gobber hammering away at a sword.
'Morning Gobber, how was the meeting last night?" I asked, hoping I don't get the same answer as everyone else said to me.
'Morning, it was long but we did managed to get to an agreement on some things."
"Like what?" I asked, testing him to see if he's lying or not.
"Oh, just the usual, Mildew blaming the dragons for his cabbages going bad, food supplies and the celebration." He said, I clearly saw him lie about the first two but the second one was the truth.
"Ok, what was the crash that happened a few minutes ago, also is everyone tired or something because I just got called freak for no reason?"
"Ah, meeting was long and not everyone got sleep, as for the crash that was two carts colliding."
"What for?"
"The celebration of course."
"Who for?"
"Snotlout, we're finally having a celebration on his victory in killing the Red Death."
'Umm, Gobber, me and Hiccup killed it, not Snotlout.' I thought as stopped hammering at the sword I was working on and looked at him.
'Go along with it.' I thought again.
"Really, finally, it's been so long since he killed it, when is it?" I asked. He looked at me like I knew something was going on, which I did.
"Tonight, why?"
'Quick, think of something.'
"Umm, what was it? Oh I remember, Thawfest games are coming up, I've been practicing my skills so I can have a chance in winning." (Forgive me but the Thawfest games in Riders of Berk never happened)
"Oh, to bad then, I was hoping you could see what you need to become if you want to be popular."
'EXUSE ME, YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT' I thought as my left eye twitched, thank Thor he didn't see it.
"I don't really want to be popular Gobber, I prefer the company of the shadows and dragons." I truthfully said. I absolutely love the shadows, they hide objects away and are everywhere so you can't be rid of it. I continued to work on the sword, when Gobber wasn't looking I made my mark on the sword, a little skull with two arrows out of its head.
'I need to do this to see what their reactions will be when they complement Gobber for it.' I thought as a sly grin etched itself onto my face.
7 Hours later-Connor's POV
"See ya Gobber, nice working with ya, been a while since I have actually." I said as I closed the door so Gobber could work in peace, I heard a rustling in a bush nearby and decided to investigate, I looked in all the bushes and didn't find anything, I turned around to walk away when I heard a someone Bawl out for help, I turned around to see a green Terrible Terror look at me.
"Hey bud, what's your name? Don't worry I won't hurt you." I said in a calming voice, the terror walked to me and curled itself in my hands. It had one wing open whilst the other was closed; I made a quick analyses that the baby dragon had a broken wing.
"I don't have a name."
"Oh, where's your family?" I asked, hoping I don't get the answer I thought it might be.
"Dead, a wolf pack killed everyone, one of them stepped on my wing and broke it." It said, looking like it was going to cry, which it did. I hugged the poor thing closely to my head.
"Don't worry, we'll get you healed up and you can stay with us." I said as the little dragon looked at me.
"Who are you?" It asked, obviously its eyes haven't adjusted to the light because it was only a newly hatched dragon. I walked to a fire pillar and looked at the Terror.
"Does this help?" I asked, it looked at me again and gasped.
"You're Connor, one of the queen dragon slayers."
"Yes I am, me and my brother will help you." I said, walking back home, I turned the door handle with my foot and lightly kicked the door open.
"Connor, don't do tha… What do you have in your hands?" Asked Hiccup as he looked at my hands. Toothless came over and smelled my hand, he backed up a little but nothing threatening.
"Hiccup, it's a Terrible Terror." Said Toothless
"Hey, in my defense he's injured, got a broken wing and he's only just hatched."
"Oh, sorry about that." Apologized Toothless as he removed the small dragon from my hands and placed him on his back, he fell asleep straight away.
"We'll get him back to full health. When he is, we'll give him a name." I said as I sat down on the couch.
"Why not give him a name now?"
"Well I only name dragons from their personal skill. Take Toothless for example, he can retract his teeth, only Night Furies can do that. So by doing this we can see what this little guy has that no other dragon can do." I stated as Toothless curled down on the floor.
"Ok." Said Hiccup. A few minutes later we were just sitting on the couch, doing nothing, I pulled my notebook out and started a new page.
'Berk investigation: I walked down to the forge because it has Hiccup's day off so I take over from him on those days, as I was making my way I was treated to two insults, 'Watch where you're going!', that one I could understand a little bit, the way he said it was very rude but these are Vikings, they're always rude. The second one was the worst one of the two 'Oi, go somewhere where your wanted, freak', Freak, that was my old nickname that Snotlout always called me because I would prefer to use my hands or a small knife to fight with, and Thor help me, I am good at both. I have a feeling this is only the beginning.' I wrote, Hiccup didn't notice me writing until he looked at the book on the corner of this left eye.
"What are you writing about?" He asked. I tensed a little but handed him the book, as he read the freak part he immediately stopped reading.
"Why did he call you that?"
"Don't ask me, I did nothing to aggravate him."
"Did anything else happen that you didn't write about?" He asked, seeming a little too worried for his own comfort. After 5 minutes of explaining everything that happened from when I left home to when Gobber told me Snotlout was the Dragon Conqueror. He laughed when I told him the latter.
"No he didn't, we did remember?"
"That's exactly what I thought." Oops, I forgot to mention that part.
"Thought?"
"I may or may not have gone along with Gobber on that part so see what information I could get out of him."
Great Hall-3rd POV
"What do you mean 'Really?' he was meant to say he and Hiccup defeated it' Said Stoic as he placed his mug on the table in disbelief. A barsmaid came over and refilled it.
"I'm telling you the truth, I said why we're having the party and he went along with it, he also said he can't make it because of the Thawfest games."
"Why on Midgard would Connor want to win the Thawfest games?" Asked Stoic as he choked on his mead.
"He didn't tell me why but I can already guess why, he wants Snotlout to shut up once and for all."
"Why, he says he's the strongest Viking out of every teenager there."
"I beg to differ, Connor rides a Night Fury perfectly and Snotlout can't even control a Terror, Connor's been letting Snotlout win everything so he can make him feel like a moron for thinking he's the best of the best." Said Gobber in a matter-of-factly tone of voice.
"And how did you come across this information?" Asked Stoic, giving him a liar look, having his right eye more open and closer to Gobber's face, Gobber tensed at his facial reaction but continued with what he was saying.
"He told me personally and not to tell anyone, especially Snotlout."
Berk- 3rd POV
The hours flew past as the party in the Great Hall could be heard across the whole island. Hiccup and Toothless were at home while Connor was at the Training arena fighting off a Monstrous Nightmare.
"Come on Hookfang, is that the best you got? I need reflexes remember." Taunted Connor as he easily dodged a blast of fire.
"I'm trying not to hurt you." She responded.
"Ok, new tactic, pretend I'm an outcast trying to kill you, I'm wearing fire proof armor remember? If I do get hurt then I can learn to ignore the pain and save it for later."
"Ok, but just remember this, you asked for it." She said as she shot a fireball at Connor and lunged at him, he moved to the side to avoid the fireball and jump flipped over her. Landing in a pose very similar to when you jump from a building. He looked upside down only to see Hookfang light herself on fire and jump at him again, he couldn't do anything as she trapped him under her claws.
"Told ya." She said smugly.
"You forget, I have a plan for everything." Said Connor as he moved his legs to hers and pushed on it, allowing him to slide under her paw. He rolled to the side and jumped up with great speed and delivered an uppercut to her jaw, making her unlight herself.
"How 'bout we call it a day?" said Connor.
"Agreed." She said as they walked back to the village.
"So Connor, I heard some information that you might require." She said as they stopped.
"What information might this be?" He asked.
"I'll tell you IF you give me extra fish." She demanded.
"Done, now tell me what it is." He said, pulling out his journal and charcoal pencil.
"I heard that there is a village that is coming by in the next six months, and it's the Meathead tribe." She said unfazed at Connor's face.
"THE Meathead tribe?"
"Yep, also their leaders some is coming as well, you might have some competition."
"YES, YES YES YES YES YES." He repeated.
"What's the matter?"
"What's the matter? Thuggory is coming, he's like my second brother, he taught me how to fight with my hands, and he protected us when we were young." Ranted Connor. They made it to the hanger when Connor finished what he was saying. They parted ways and Connor made his way up to his house, not before Snotlout showed up.
"Oi freak, why ain't you at the party?" He asked.
"Why are you not at the party? You're the one they're throwing it for." Shot Connor.
"I asked you first."
"I was practicing my Thawfest skills so I can beat you." Said Connor. Snotlout just laughed.
"Wow, you actually thought you could beat me, I've never lost a fight or Thawfest game to anyone."
"Really? I do believe I beat you in the ring the other day."
"I let you win that so you didn't feel bad for losing again." He said as he laughed again.
"Oh, well I guess I will beat you for real during the Thawfest games then."
"What do you mean?" Asked Snotlout.
"Oh, you didn't hear, if you don't win the Thawfest games your dad will disown you for being a failure and ruining the Jorgeson family name." Wheedled Connor as he silently fell into the shadows, not letting Snotlout know he wasn't there anymore. Connor continued to make his way up to the Great Hall to get some food for Hiccup, Toothless and himself. As he entered his ears were blasted with loud conversations and music, using his natural speed and size he managed to get 3 fish, 2 loafs of bread and a chicken leg without even being seen. He placed the foods into a bag and slung it over his back, as he was leaving Stoic blocked the doorway.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were practicing?" Asked Stoic.
"I was, I got home and noticed that there wasn't any food so I came here to grab some. I know that by tomorrow night no one will want to eat." Stated Connor as he tried to get past his father, only to be pushed back slightly.
"You're already here, so why not celebrate?" Asked Stoic as he said it like it wasn't a question.
"Fine." Deflated Connor, knowing there wasn't any point in arguing, as he sighed and followed his father.
"Oh, you're not coming with me. You're going to hang with the other teens and praise Snotlout and to apologize for lying to him about killing the Red Death." Ordered Stoic.
Connor sighed and walked over to the teens, slowly postponing the inevitable, he had his head hung low and with sorrow in hi eyes.
"What are you doing here?" Demanded Tuffnut.
"Go somewhere you're wanted, Freak." Ordered Ruffnut.
"If you would let me explain why I'm here, you could help me." An exasperated Connor said.
"Why would we want to help you? You're a worthless piece of crap." Said Astrid.
"I'm going to ignore that. I was forced here and I want you guys to block the view to the door from Stoic so I can leave everyone in peace." Explained Connor. They agreed and blocked the view of the entrance from Stoic. Connor slipped out without them even noticing, and they were meant to know he was gone. He quickly ran to the center of town and climbed onto one of the houses and started jumping from one house to the next, yelling out in happiness as he felt the cold, sharp wind fly into his face, getting his blood pumping. He made it to his house and opened it. As he closed the door he noticed that no one was there, he checked all the rooms and neither Hiccup nor Toothless were there. He entered the kitchen and saw a note for him.
Hey Connor,
Me and Toothless went for a night flight, be back soon.
Hiccup
Connor chuckled and placed the food in the fridge except for a loaf of bread he closed the door and scoffed the bread down in a flash, he took out his charcoal pencil and wrote on Hiccup's note:
Ok, I'm going for a jog up to the High Point mountains, I have some food in our hidden fridge if you and Toothless are hungry, if dad ends up coming home early just say I went for a jog, see you when I get back.
Connor
Village Center-Connor's POV
'WOOO-HOOO!" I yelled out as I jumped off roofs of different sized houses. I don't know why but this made me feel alive. I came up to a point where I needed a really fast run in order to cross the gap. I sped up, pumping my legs and jumped as high as I could, I missed by a centimeter but grabbed the edge with my hands. I heaved myself up but not knowing my own strength, launching myself into the air about half a meter. I landed and continued my run into the woods. I used my extreme senses and the moonlight to guide me to the High Point Mountains. I ran past trees and bushes without stopping, not even puffed out air as I ran to the very edge of the highest point in Berk. I stopped and looked down at all of Berk, its woods, rivers, everything that Berk had before it was settled upon is just an amazement of beauty. I straightened my back and let the cold, harsh air rush past me. I felt extremely hot and started to sweat, I took off my vest but to no avail. I took off my shirt and let the air rush past once more, letting the air cool my scars that never healed. I felt like a dragon, feeling what it's like to be in the air, not riding, actually flying, no wings or tail, just moving in the air by myself. I sat there for a while and decided to fall asleep because it felt so comfortable. I woke up just as the sun started to rise above the Eastern waters. I pulled out my sketchpad and drew how it looked with Berk added. I fell into a trance and when I got out of it the sun could be fully seen. I placed my sketchpad back into my pocket and left the area to go back home. I left my shirt and vest off because it was still windy, cold, and it felt really good. I made it back to the village in one piece, thank Thor, I walked through the village center because I needed to get food for us. I got stares from everyone that was there. I heard someone say that I was going to die if I didn't put my clothing on. I ignored them and made my way to the food market district, heading straight for the fish stall.
"Hello Connor, what will it be today?" Asked Hugo, Hugo was someone who I could trust because even before I met Toothless he always gave me extra fish when I bought some, which was very often, after I met Toothless I became his most regular customer.
"Hello Hugo, can I have a barrel of Fish please?"
"Sure, that will be 3 gold pieces."
'WHAT, I BARREL OF FISH WAS ALWAYS 3 SILVER FOR EVERYONE'
"Umm, I thought it was 3 silver?" I spluttered, struggling to withhold my real feelings.
"Oh, that's for regular fish, the one you're getting it the last one of my special batch I bought from trader Johann, Smoked Salmon is what they are. I've never had them myself but they say they're good." He explained.
'Smoked Salmon is the best, try some as soon as you can, its soooooo good and juicy even when cooked, I see why it's 3 gold.'
"I'll take it." I said as I paid him the required amount, which he was quite shocked, I never really owned gold pieces until I read a book showing how to make it, I kinda made some Berkian currency so I could get Hiccup a nice birthday present one year but got too hyped and made more for myself. I always have a stash under my bed. In the rafters of the great hall, there's a loose wooden plank that can hold a pouch of money and I have one more where no one would look, under a loose tile in the center of town. It's not that loose however, so you won't find it accidently, thankfully. I took the barrel of Smoked Salmon and thanked Hugo and left. I placed my clothing on top of the barrel and heaved it without breaking a sweat. I got to the door of our house and kicked it lightly with my foot.
"Who's there?" Asked Hiccup.
"It's me Hiccup, I have a gift for you two." I said as he opened the door and stood behind it, I walked in and placed the barrel in the center of the room. Hiccup closed the door and saw me without my shirt or vest on.
"Connor, where's your clothes?" He asked. I took them off the barrel and showed it to him.
"What do you have in there, Connor?" Asked Toothless as he smelled the barrel. I laughed.
"Only the finest fish that can be bought in Berk." I said as I took off the lid and took a fish out. Toothless and Hiccup's mouthed watered as Toothless asked.
"Is that?"
"Yep, fresh smoked salmon from Hugo." I said as I threw the fish I was holding to Toothless who caught it in his mouth and swallowed it whole, he moaned about how good it tasted. I took out three plates and placed two fish for Hiccup, four for me and 6 for Toothless. We ate in silence until there was a knock at the door, I walked over and saw Gobber there looking worried.
"Yes Gobber, how may I help you?" I asked politely.
"Where's your shirt lad?" He asked
"I took it off last night because I got hot. Ho-what are you doing here?" I asked again, slightly annoyed how everyone wonders why I have my shirt off.
"Oh right, Stoic wants to talk to you, something about leaving the party."
"Shit, alright, thanks Gobber." I said as I closed the door and walked to the Great Hall. When I got there I saw Stoic sitting in his throne.
"Don't ask why I have my shirt off. Just tell me what you need to tell me so I can go train." I said with annoyance.
"Alright, I respect your privacy. Now onto why I called you here, I…"
"Let me guess, you called me here to ground me because I left the party without telling Snotlout I was sorry. I can also guess that the teens told you this information as soon as I left. They were a part of it, so if they said they saw me leave they didn't." I said, knowing that was exactly what he was going to do and say.
"I,uh…"
'Well this might take a while' I thought as I walked over to the book shelf we had and looked for a book on tailoring. Never know when that might come in handy. I walk back over to Stoic and saw him still confused on what to say.
"I'll stay in my room for two days, and I'll only come out if anyone needs me. Think of it as community service and grounding." I said as he agreed and bid me off. I walked back home with the tailoring book in my hands, I climbed our house and started to read the book. I read about 57 pages on different types of crosshatching, patterns, colour blending and all sorts of tools you can use. I got distracted as I saw Snotlout pick up a rock out of the corner of my right eye, ready to throw it. I continued reading and waited for him to throw it, he threw it at my head and I caught it without even looking, I threw the rock behind me and glared at him.
"I am trying to read Snotlout, please do leave me alone." I said.
"Don't you have to train little kids how to bond with dragons by yourself?" I added as I stood up and left to go into my house. After getting there,I put on my clothing and went to the forge. Hours later I made all the tools and got all the materials I needed and created a beautiful, fireproof blanket for the three of us. Toothless in the middle with his Toothless smile, Hiccup to his left with his elbow on his head while scratching his forehead and me on Toothless' right, arms crossed with a huge smile on my face. I placed the blanket into a basket and placed a note on it.
Do not open, Connor's project
'That should make his curiosity go sky high' I thought as I carried the basket into our house and placed it in front of Hiccup's bed. I waited on the couch for when they got home.
'I hope he likes it, I certainly do' I thought as I drifted off to sleep.
If you're wondering what the fridge, read on, in Viking times they had a metal box with ice in between the metal on the outside and inside, keeping food that needed to be cold, cold and not go spoiled, I really want one though.
I hope you had a really good time with this and please do tell your friends if they like HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON.
