Yay! Part 3! Another character is about to be introduced and also a certain plot point that I tried to throw in here because why not?

Since this is also a "Ninja Turtles" story(Their, or more accuretly, one of them's time will come later.), I will say that I saw the new movie... and my god, this was... UGH. Don't go, fans or not!

Anyway, on with the thing!

Morning rose in the kingdom of DunBroch as the sun's rays of light shun upon the Scottish village. As the castle workers were already awake and up at work on breakfast for the royal family and other necessities, one of the royal family members was already up and about. Her wild red hair made it pretty clear that she was the princess of the kingdom, as no one else had a hair like that.

The princess, called Merida, was navigating through the castle floors in order to get to the stables where her horse, Angus, stayed. She wanted to take him for a quick ride before having to go to her princess lessons with her mother, Queen Elinor. Merida and the queen had quite the adventure not too long ago, one that involved bears, witches and magical lights. Very much like Hiccup and Stoick, that adventure also ended up changing fates and traditions in the Scottish kingdom, but her mother still insisted on those princess lessons.

Since there was no rule that forbidden early awakening, infect one of the many lessons Merida had to endure was waking up early, she used the opportunity to have some fun before starting the day.

She got to Angus's stable, gave him an apple as breakfast, made sure her bow was slung over her back and that her arrow quiver was attached to her waist and climbed up the horse's back. With a kick on his sides, he rushed forward towards the woods.

Somewhere in the woods, already awake and up at work, was Hiccup; who already made some progress in mapping the area out. Whenever he finished drawing on one of the papers, he had Toothless licking it so that he could attach it to the already existing drawing of Castle DunBroch. He already had most of the parts in front of the castle finished up and he was currently trying to get the last part right.

As Merida rode through the forest, hair flying in the wind like a small flame, arrows from her quiver hitting bulls eyes on various targets hanging from the trees and the feeling of freedom surrounding her; she heard something that didn't belong there.

"That's the last one, bud. Go ahead and look for some water. I'll catch up once I'm done packing." It was clearly a male's voice and it was followed by a growl.

Something was wrong here, and Merida was about to find out what it was. She got off of Angus's back and notched an arrow in her bow. "Stay here, Angus." She told her horse as she advanced more and more in the direction the sound came from.

After a few steps, she saw a boy about her age packing up some stuff. She studied him for a bit. He wasn't wearing any clothes that resembled Scottish wearing, which already made him more suspicious than he already was. Merida then caught a glimpse of his left foot, which wasn't really there, as he had a metal prosthetic replacing it. Scottish didn't use metal for prosthetic, they used wood. Then it all clicked into place, that boy was a Viking, even if he didn't look like one.

As Hiccup was done packing his stuff, he turned around and was about to look for Toothless when Merida surprised him with an arrow pointed towards him. "Wha are ye?" She asked him sharply, anger in her eyes. It was known that Vikings were enemies to the Scots, and Merida wasn't one to be friendly to those who were considered enemies.

Hiccup was horrified by the sight at first, but then he became more relaxed, even calm. That girl in front of him had a really impressive mane that he couldn't take his eyes off of. He also took note of her slim figure and her sea-like eyes. He couldn't help but let his jaw drop at the sight of her.

Merida eyed her target as well. He didn't look like much of a Viking, but there was something comforting knowing that the enemies you heard so much about being big and muscular weren't really living up to the descriptions. Oddly enough for her, she found herself looking into his eyes. They were green, just like the forest she loves riding through. The princess suddenly regained her senses and realized that the apparent enemy wasn't answering her question. She let the arrow go and it hit the tree just inches from his head.

Hiccup let out a yelp that signaled he was back on earth as Merida got another arrow ready. "Ah will ask ye again, and ye bittir answer this time." She spat. "Wha are ye?" She asked more sharply this time.

"I-I-I am… Hiccup…" He barley found the words because of the panicked situation he was in.

That did it. Among the other things she has heard about Vikings over the years, it was how Vikings had some strange names; and Hiccup was definitely a strange name. "And what is a Viking like ye daing in DunBroch, Hiccup?" She asked again, arrow being all the way back on the bow-string.

Hiccup gasped in horror when the word "Viking" came out of her mouth. How did she know? Merida had a smirk on her face because of his reaction, she was right.

But before any of them could have said anything, Merida found herself pinned to the ground by a large black shape. There was no way to deny it; she was scared by the thing. But to her surprise, Hiccup suddenly jumped between her and the beast; and even more surprising, he managed to calm it down.

Quickly after, Hiccup climbed on the black beast's back, grabbed the stuff he packed and in a split seconds both him and this creature were flying in the sky, leaving the princess confused.

After a few minutes of flying back home, Hiccup remembered he should check his basket in order to see he didn't forget the map because of all the unexpected events. He managed to find it there and he breathed in relief.

Suddenly, the picture of this girl made its way into his mind. True, she was practicality trying to kill him but… there was something about her that he liked. "That girl was sure something; huh, bud?" He asked Toothless, who gave him a questioning look before slapping Hiccup in the face with his ear. "Ow! What was that for?!" Hiccup complained. "Just because she tried to kill me doesn't mean…" Before the teen could finish talking, Toothless dove right into the sea below them a few times. When he was done, Hiccup was soaking wet and he had an unamused look on his face. "I really hate you sometimes." He said and the dragon made noises that were interpreted as laughter.

Meanwhile, Merida was trying to digest what just happened. She had never seen anything like the creature that attacked her before. Then she remembered something, there were rumors going around about Vikings apparently taming dragons or something. Was that a dragon? The red head never saw one up close, only a few drawings in books here and there, so today was kind of a rough first experience.

As she made it back to where Angus was, she realized something. The map Hiccup was packing… He was mapping the area out for an attack with the dragons. Merida quickly mounted Angus and they hurried as fast as they could to get back to the castle.

When her horse was back in the stables; Merida hurried to find her father. She found him where she thought she will, in the throne room alongside her mother. She came in running into the room, catching the attention of her parents.

"Merida!" Her Mother, Queen Elinor, screamed at the sight of her daughter bolting into the room.

Merida ignored her mother's concern and came to face her father. "Dad, Ah… Ah have seen a Viking in the forest. He… He was mapping the area af the castle and he had… a dragon with him!" She screamed the information with concern and terror in her voice.

"Dragon?" King Fergus asked himself when realizations stroke him. "Ye mean the rumars were true? Thase barbarians did tamed thase beasts?!" He asked in shock.

"Ah guess. He was riding it." The princess added.

Fergus's face fell and for a few seconds silence surrounded the room until the king turned to face his Merida, his face serious. "Ah think it's time ta call oar friends." He said in a low tone which caused Elinor to look at him with puzzlement.

Merida let out a small gasp as she realized who he meant.

"Sonic."

So, we have 2 of the main characters introduced and another teased at the end. If anyone is going to ask me... I might have something planned for these 2... It's not going to be that much of a focus if it's worring anyone.

Next time is going to be Sonic's time! Yea-Yeah!

Please review and see you next time!
