Part 2! Nothing more to say other then "Enjoy and Please review!"
It was a normal day to the Vikings of Berk. Nothing out of the ordinary has happened lately, since their victory over The Berserkers.
As the day was about to end, a group of 6 teenagers were gathering at Berk's "Dragon Training Academy". For what seemed like forever, Vikings and dragons weren't exactly what someone will call friends. But, through a journey of what some will call curiosity, or insanity, one Viking found out that dragons were not all dangerous. That Viking was the chief's son, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III.
Hiccup wasn't what you will call a standard Viking; in fact, he was a word-by-word violation of what a Viking is. He was scrawny, not so big and short on fighting skills. His dry sarcasm wasn't really helping his case either. For as long as he lived he was the village disappointment, especially his father's.
One day, during a dragon raid, Hiccup managed to take down a dragon with one of his inventions. But it wasn't just any dragon. It was a Night Fury, a dragon that for the most part remained unseen and very dangerous. "Your only chance, hide and hope it won't find you." Says the description in the "Book Of Dragons". When Hiccup found the wounded dragon, he attempted to kill it but found out that he couldn't do it. After letting the dragon go he found out that it can't go anywhere due to its damaged tail wing. After spending time with the dragon, essentially befriending it and naming him Toothless because of the dragon's hidden teeth, he made him another tail fin which Hiccup himself controlled. Their friendship was great, almost to the level of siblings, and when things got rough for them they risked their lives for each other. After an intense battle with a giant dragon called "The Red Death", Hiccup lost his left leg, which was replaced with a metallic prostatic created in order to control Toothless's new fin. While he lost a leg, he did gain the proudness of his dad and of the clan itself. When dragons moved in to Berk, he opened the "Dragon Training Academy" in order to teach other Vikings how to train the beasts.
It was another day of training; telling the dragons to shoot at a target, flying with different commands, everything was normal. By the end of the day, Hiccup, who was wearing his usual green tunic and brown fur vest, stood in front of his friends with the massive black form of Toothless behind him.
"Okay, great job, guys." He complemented the group before continuing on. "Snoutlout, Ruff, Tuff, you guys can go home." He told a large muscular teen with long black hair who wore a sleeveless green tunic with black vest; and 2 identical twins with long blonde hair, though the girl had it in braids. The boy wore a brown vest and a green tunic while his twin sister wore a lighter brown vest and a blue tunic. "Astrid and Fishlegs, you are with me on patrol today." The Viking teen then addressed a blonde girl with a ponytail who wore a spiked skirt and a large chubby blonde teen who wore a large brown very furry vest.
"Would you just relax already, Hiccup?" Snoutlout asked him, quite annoyed. "We have defeated Dagur and the only man you were ever ready to kill is now on our side." He scowled before waving his arms around and his tone changed to a more relaxed one." Just relax, man. We are unstoppable!"
"You can never be too sure, Snoutlout." Hiccup replied while he climbed on top of Toothless's back and attached his prosthetic leg to the mechanism that controlled the dragon's prosthetic tail fin. "You guys ready?" He asked the 2 friends he assigned for the patrol.
"You know me." Astrid called from the back of her dragon, Stormfly, who was a blue Deadly Nadder; a slim and quick dragon with very lightly feet.
"Let's do this." Fishlegs replied as well while petting his dragon, Meatlug, who was a brownish yellow Gronkle; a fat dragon which may not be so speedy but makes up for it with its strength.
The 3 riders then took off on the back of their dragons to check for any un-ordinary activity around Berk. After a few minutes of flying around, something caught Hiccup's eyes, a ball of light just floating around in the forest. "Hey, guys?" Hiccup asked his friends. "Do you see that, or is Snotlout right and I'm just paranoid?"He pointed to the ball of light.
Astrid and Fishlegs looked in the direction and saw that Hiccup wasn't the only one seeing this wired thing, they saw it too. "I don't know what's creepier." Astrid said. "The fact that we see it too or the fact that you just thought Snotlout was right about something."
"Let's check it out." Hiccup turned to his dragon. "Take us down, Bud. But keep us at a distance from this thing." Toothless gave a small growl which his rider translated as a nod and they headed down.
The dragons landed behind nearby bushes and trees just to be safe and the riders dismounted them. That light, while suspicious, was incredible to look at. It was like if an entirely new world, or more, could have existed beyond it.
Before any of them could have said anything to each other, 3 figures came out of the portal. One of them was limbless creature, one of them looked like a large toad and the third, while human, raised a question from the curious Fishlegs. "Hey, Astrid, you know that story the best than any of us. Doesn't that girl look like that Viking princess you used to like as a kid?" He asked the blonde Viking.
Hiccup turned to him with a questioning look. "There is a creature with no neck, arms or knees in front of you, and that's the question you got?" He asked dryly.
Astrid took a closer look at the girl in front. She did resemble drawings that were made about the childhood story and the descriptions on how the hero looked. The story Fishlegs was referring to was the story of "The Viking Princess Barbara", a story Astrid liked a lot as a child. The Viking girl has heard the story countless times, how she wailed her axe, how proud she was and how she was sent away from her family because of her sister. Astrid loved that story, minus its sad ending, and Princess Barbara was her hero; it was thanks to her Astrid started practicing fighting with an axe which she now mastered."She does resemble her a bit, but it's probably just a coincidence." She dismissed the thought.
The wired trio started to look around the forest, taking in the environment they were now in and the riders started to slowly advance towards them with the dragons behind them just in case. "Excuse us?" Hiccup asked and the limbless creature turned his head to see the 3 teens. "Could we help you in anyway?"
Okay, I have some explaining to do I guess.
I think that stories and legends did exist in the time of Vikings, seeing how in the actual movie and show they reffer to some legends like The Book Of Dragons and such. So, one of the childern's stories could have been my half-made up by me story of Barbara. I thought it will be a cool idea to tie the 2 franchises to each other. Hope you like it.
