It felt good to him, the feeling of being in that same cove where he first met Toothless, staring at the lake that bore witness to the first kiss he shared with the love of his life. He couldn't help but shed just a few tears at that memory. He missed her. She was in his dreams, his thoughts, and everything seemed to make him remember her. He was standing in front of the lake just looking at his reflection in the water, when Toothless walked up beside him. Over the years that Hiccup was gone (7 to be exact) he learned how to speak with the dragons using his mind.
"What's up Hic' you're usually exited about being home, now we get here and you get depressed?"
"I know bud but I can't stop thinking about how they will react when I tell them this is Berk."
"What do you mean?" "I mean, you and I are the only ones who know! What will Jack think? What will Thane think? What about Jake, or Cathrine? They are all gonna freak out when I tell them this is where I grew up!" "I know but all you have to do is shut up and say it they will be exited, not worried!" "Wow Toothless, thanks for the support bud." Hiccup said while rolling his eyes and sighing.
He had to tell them weather he liked it or not. Thane was his long-lost brother from another father. He later learned his mother was from another island and had Thane a few years before she met Stoick and had Hiccup. Jake was Jack's twin brother. Those two were somewhat like Ruff and Tuff but both males. Cathrine was like "Thane's Astrid" so to speak. She had black hair and hazel eyes. Her weapon choice, daggers. She could throw daggers like Stoick could snap Hiccup like a twig. Thane used a giant sword that required both hands and a LOT of strength he called Tenshu. Thane had tons of scars. He was built like Snotlout compared to Hiccup and had fought in numerous wars. The tattoo of a scratch mark of a nightmare went down his back in three colors, black, red and blue. Jake and Jack had black eyes like Toothless' skin. Brown hair down to the shoulders and Jack used a bow and arrow while Jake used a war axe.
Hiccup had changed, a LOT. He was stronger, taller, smarter, had scars including an "x" on his chest that he got from some Celtic warrior with dual swords. You could actually see he had a six pack and had muscles when he was shirtless. He had a tattoo of a night fury all the way down his arm. He dual wielded custom made swords. One blue and the other green. It was time to tell the gang where they really were.
Hiccup silently walked back to there little camp under the cliff edge, where they would be safe from rain. When he reached the camp he braced himself for probably the most weird talk of his life. "Guys... I have something to confess." A sequence of nods accompanied by grunts because they all had mouthfuls of boar that Jake caught. "This place is Berk, the place where I grew up and first met toothless." A unison of "WHAT!?" came from the huddled up group of teenagers. So Hiccup told them the entire story of what happened. They were all shocked. Of course they would do this. Hiccup thought. "Dude why didn't you tell us!?" "Now, Cat calm down no need to get mad hehe..." "WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO NEED TO GET MAD! I FINALLY GET TO SEE MOM AGAIN AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!" A long period of silence followed that sentence. "What?" "Hiccup... are you... CRYING!?" "Hiccup... crying!? Dude you NEVER cry! You didn't even cry when that Roman Berserker rammed his war hammer into your gut!" "Thane... I need to talk to you." "O-K." "Alone." Hiccup led Thane to a small clearing with a stone alter in the middle. On the alter were two small... books? "Hiccup what is this place?" "Thane... Mom's dead..." Silence. "Thane?" More silence. Hiccup looked over, and what he saw scared him so much he couldn't run, all he could do was stand their at this... thing. It was Thane... but his eyes... his eyes were pitch black with a swirl of blue at the centre. He had his fists balled up and his arms at his side. His teeth... oh gods his teeth. They were sharp. Like a vampire's teeth and they were bloody. Hiccup finally got the courage to grab his brother's arm and shake his arm rather violently while shouting his name. Then thane turned around and Pounced on him Pinning him to the ground. He smiled and bit into Hiccup's neck. Then everything went black.
