I do not own How to Train Your Dragon or characters they belong to Dreamworks

The Vikings stood gathered in the large main hall of their village, surrounded by tapestries of vicious killers and slayers. From the ceiling dangled a golden dragon in agony as a sword ran through it. Stoic the Vast stood at large table, map laid out in front of him. He was leading a meeting, discussing to the others what they had to do about the dragons.

Either we finish them or they'll finish us ! he yelled. It's the only way we'll rid of them, his voice echoed through the stone building.

If we find the nest and destroy it the dragon will leave, they'll find another home said Stoic.

As plunged his knife into the map.

One more search before the ice sets in said Stoic.

Those ships never come back said a Viking.

We're Vikings. It's an occupational hazard. Now who's with me said Stoic.

Alright those who stay will look after Hicca said Stoic.

The entire room raised their hands.

I volunteer Stoic said Spitelout.

Now that's more like it said Stoic.

I'll pack my undies said Gobber.

No, i you to stay and train some new recruits said Stoic.

Oh yeah while i'm busy, Hicca can cover the store. Molten steel. Razor sharp blade a little time to herself. What could possibly go wrong said Gobber.

What i'm gonna do you with her Gobber? Asks Stoic.

Put her in training with others said Gobber.

No i'm serious said Stoic.

So am i said Gobber.

She'd be killed before you let first dragon out it's cage said Stoic.

Oh you don't that said Gobber.

I do know that said Stoic.

No you don't said Gobber.

No actually i do said Stoic.

No you don't said Gobber.

You know she's like,from time she could crawl she's been different said Stoic.

She doesn't listen, she has the attention span of a sparrow. I take her fishing and she goes hunting for..for trolls said Stoic.

Trolls EXIST, they steal your socks but only the left ones, what's with that said Gobber.

When i was a boy said Stoic.

Oh, here we go said Gobber.

My father told to bang head against a rock and i did it. I thought it was crazy but i didn't question it and you know what happened said Stoic.

Go ahead said Gobber.

That rock split in two. It taught me what a Viking could do Gobber. He-he could crush mountains,level forests, tame seas. Even as a boy i knew what i was and what i had to become. That's not Hicca said Stoic.

Ya can't stop her Stoic, you can only prepare her. I know it seems hopeless but the truth you won't always be around to protect her. She's going to get out there again, she's probably out there now said Gobber.
