HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOO EVERYBODY!

So you've all have been dying to know how in thor's name is Hiccup Heather's brother and why he's the adoptive son of Stoick the Vast. Well suffer no more and let the continuing story reveal the answers...

P.S I reposted this chapter because i noticed a small minor detail that's a big deal which was Dagur's mother's name. Her name is Eydis. just to be clear


"It's a long and tragic tale so sit down and listen closely to what should have been told a long time ago," Garth then grabbed a sea for himself as he flipped to the page where Stoick's name was on, but underneath his name was the words 'unnamed' then underneath that was Hiccup's name but in different color and a side note that says 'adopted'. "About eighteen years ago, the Hairy Hooligans and the Berserker tribe were at peace after so many generations of war, the bloodbaths and terror was over, and it was that time of the year when the peace treaty had to be renewed. That year the chief of Berk, Stoick the Vast and his wife Valka were the ones visiting the Berserker tribe to sign, and it just so happened that she was seven months pregnant. And very ironically, the Berserker chief's wife was also pregnant, but with twins."

"The first day of the treaty went on smoothly as they hoped, unfortunately Oswald's judgement was his own suffering for what has occurred that night. As if the gods were putting him on the test or just plain cruel, both wives were going though contractions, their children were all due early. You would have thought that Oswald would have the same amount of healers tend to both wives, that was not the case. He ordered all the best healers to help his wife with the delivery, abandoning the medical needs Stoick's wife needed, leaving them to fend for themselves."

"Both deliveries were difficult, but very difficult for Valka as Stoick continuously demanded for medical attention for his wife, but those demands were foolishly ignored, adding more fuel to the chief's anger and fear. Soon after hours of pain, Eydis gave birth to the first twin, you Heather, then three hours later she managed to give birth to your twin brother, Hiccup, but the moment of of his birth came two losses..." Garth pointed to the space that was written 'unnamed' as he continued with regret and sorrow while he held his tears. "A few minutes after delivering Hiccup, Eydis died while holding both of your in her arms, and that time Valka managed to give birth but the baby boy only lasted three minuted before passing on, not enough time to give him his name."

"But then what happened?" Astrid asked with fear, horrified to hear that the great Stoick the Vast's real son didn't last its first hour. "Did Oswald just offer him up or did he just want to get rid of him so Stoick took him in?"

"Your close, but that's not what happened. When Stoick discovered that Oswald paid no heed to his requests for a healer, blinded by grief, he was extremely furious, so furious that he marched over to the great hall and not only refusing to sign the treaty but threatened to declare war five months after he and his wife return to Berk. So with anger and grief, Stoick helped his wife back in their ships and sailed back to Berk, with war ready to be dealt with once again. Now Oswald gained two more heirs, and lost his wife, you say he did this to save the Berserker tribe or from his own grief but he claims it to stop two wars from ever happening."

"Two wars?"

"Two wars Heather, one with Berk, and another someday between you and your siblings. Oswald believes that when you three are grown up that you'll go against one another to gain power over the tribe so he had to take one of the males out of the picture. He sent a message to Stoick, saying that he was very sorry for his loss but he will be willing to offer his newborn son to him in exchange for peace between the tribes. He could have chosen you or Dagur but your brother Hiccup was the only one closest to look like Stoick and Valka so he was given away. Stoick wasn't willing to accept the offering at first but Gothi told him that after that miscarriage, Valka lost the necessities to have another child and they needed an heir since his brother had no child yet."

"After so much convincing and not many options, Stoick and Valka accepted the offer, making their way back to Berserker island to renew the treaty and retrieve the child being offered up. Young Dagur did not want to give up his brother, despite only being four, he tried to convince his father to reconsider but he was ignored, watching his young brother be taken away by strangers. How do I know this you ask, well Oswald made demands for me to bear witness this peace offering and to write the child's name in the Berk book. I can still remember hearing the young lad's cries after he was handed to Valka, the two chiefs then signed a new treaty while every adult in the room swore to not tell a soul of what has occurred, you'd expect the chiefs to have forgiven each other but not Stoick. He swore that the child would never be a son to him but only as the son of the man who allowed his own to pass away. I don't know if he really meant it or was just saying that because he was just a grieving father not wanting replacements. But nonetheless, Stoick eventually accepted Hiccup as his own and made his entire tribe not breathe a word about this to the new generation, and especially not to Hiccup."

"Hold on Garth, how can you be so sure that our Hiccup is really Heather's brother?" Fishlegs asked after recovering from fainting fir the hundredth time. "With all due respect, for all we know this is just a tale and words written down for no reason."

"I'm certain because the three children of Oswald the Agreeable each has an individual birthmark in the shape of a dragon. Dagur has a skrill, you Heather have a razorwhip and then your brother has a nightfury. All marks are on your behind your necks but Dagur's pretty visible since he didn't have it hidden how Oswald hidden it for you and Hiccup," Garth then pulled out a jar from his pocket, opening the lid to take some gel substance as he went behind Heather and rubbed that substance around a spot in his neck. "I gave your father a gel that hides your birthmark and another jar with gel that'll make it reappear. He used it on your brother first, then on you and after few more seconds of rubbing..." He stopped to pull out two mirrors to show Heather then showed he teens so they can see for themselves, "You'll see your razorwhip birthmark, proving that you're one of the heirs of the Berserker tribe."

"So all we need to do is rub this gel thing on Hiccup's neck and see if there's a nightfury mark?!" Tuffnut concluded with a mix of excitement and worry, "Whoa this is awesome and scary!"

"Yes it most certainly is, and I'm most certain that you'll be telling your friend Hiccup about this am I right?" Garth didn't give them time to answer as he handed Heather the small jar. "Although this is a dangerous secret, I believe that it's only right for the lad to know now than to find out on his own so go young heir, go reunite yourself with your forgotten twin, and defeat Dagur once and for all. From what I hear, he's become quite the rouge viking and the kind to try to turn things to chaos but I advise to don't go to hard on him...After all in the end he's your brother who had to witness the death of his mother, his brother being given away and then his sister given away in the end, in all honesty Oswald did not deserve to be killed but he did deserve the hatred Dagur gave him. Who wouldn't despise the man who gave away the rest of your family for lousy reasons? Just bear that in mind."

With that he close both books then carried them them back to the spots they were taken from, "Now you have what you need, excuse me while I get ready to visit the chief of the shivering shores, he has another daughter. The exit is where the entrance was and come back to visit anytime. Oh this might come in handy if you need more evidence,"He tossed Heather another map but it was of Berk, "That map leads to the gravestone of Stoick's first and only child, that''ll come in handy," After he said that, he just walked away to a different part of the library, leaving the teens to manage from there.

"Uh guys I know this is big news and all but-" Tuffnut began then was interrupted by his sister. "How are we going to tell Hiccup?"


"So you've heard everything sir?" Savage asked the moment Dagur returned to their ship on the other side of the island where the library is.

"Yes, ah it's so good to refresh some memories that gave me all the more reasons to eliminate my father," Dagur grinned, pulling out a jar from his belt. "Now that they know, I have more reason to give Hiccup a visit on Berk for the holidays and then I can maybe try to convince my brother to join forces with me...Who would refuse such an offer after they were told that their whole life was nothing but a lie?"

"Uh sir with all due respect, why did you wait this long to expose the truth?" Savage questioned, recalling many situations that Dagur could have spilled every drop of the truth. "You could have gotten him join even before he trained that nightfury."

"True, but I wanted to find my dear sister first, then wait to see if Hiccup did something worthy to a Berserker, and being a dragon rider fits the payment," Dagur then set the ship to make a new journey to their destination. "By tomorrow we just might have two new members of the army to conquer everything! Now to Berk! And no one makes a move unless I say so!" Get read brother and sister, big brother is coming to take you back home.


"We could try giving him the honey and the hatchet," Fishlegs suggested after landing on the skull island again to get some rest. "Tell him something he would like to hear before hitting him on the head with something he doesn't."

"I don't think that will work," Astrid sighed, sharpening her axe to help her think. "This is Hiccup we're talking about! If we can't face the facts that he's not the real son of Stoick then what makes you think that Hiccup will take this lightly!?" Her eyes suddenly glanced over at Heather, who was silent during the whole flight and during this dilemma. "Heather, this must really affect you out of all of us; it must hard trying to take all this in."

"It's not just me Astrid, I at least know that I was taken away from my birth family but Hiccup...He's oblivious to the whole subject, he has full faith and trust in Stoick, the man kept this from him his whole life!" Heather exclaimed, standing up to face the setting sun, "And to make matters worse the Berserker tribe visited Berk every year for the renewal of the treaty, our real father probably didn't bother to get to know Hiccup during those times, just acting like strangers to him and allowing Stoick to provide more lies everyday." The teens couldn't argue with that, every time Oswald came to Berk, he stayed a far distance away from Hiccup, allowing Dagur to mess with the boy, heck he didn't give a good apology in person when Dagur nearly drowned the boy!

"You're right about that, but then what do we do?" Astrid finally asked. "We can't keep this from Hiccup forever."

"We're not going to hide these secrets...We'll just have to straight up tell him in person!" Heather suggested, well more like explaining the plan. "We need to confront Stoick, and then with him we'll have to tell Hiccup every last detail, show every evidence we got. It'll be something very shocking, maybe even earth shattering but we'll never know what reaction he made have but it's better for him to know than not know at all. It's better than to believe every lie thrown at him, to be so oblivious to everything, he has to know it's for the best because Thor knows what'll happen if Dagur ever manages to capture him and tell him himself. That could be disastrous."

"So we're headed towards Berk in the morning I suppose," Fishlegs guessed, earning a nod from Heather. "Alright then let's just set up camp."


"So we're camping out here with the dragons after hauling a large ship near the shores then head back to Berk in the morning?" Snotlout reviewed while he got his sleeping spot next to Hookfang ready after a long day of avoiding explosive eggs.

"Yeah that pretty much sums it up, there's a storm over past the sea coming in tonight so it'll be dangerous to head back in those weather conditions," Hiccup explained as he looked up in the sky. "Besides once we get home we'll wait for the dragons to come back on their own, using the ship we brought to carry their hatchlings in."

"And how do we know if that'll work?"

"Trust me Snotlout, dragons are more intelligent than what you give them credit for." Hiccup sighed, wondering if the others were having fun on their little camping trip with Heather. "Besides it wouldn't be a very festive Snoggletog without the dragons now would it? They're family afterall."

"I guess your right."

With that the two male drifted off to sleep next to their dragons, who happily used their wings to protect their friends from the cold. However a dream, well more like a memory came flooding in Hiccup's mind as the hours of the night pasted by.

Flashback/Dream...

"HICCUP!? Are you alright son, I heard you scream!" Stoick came rushing up the stairs as fast as his to legs can carry him one stormy night, up to see what upset his five year old son that night. "Hiccup?" He didn't find the boy in bed, but underneath while holding his blanket close to avoid the loud sounds of thunder. "Nightmare?"

All the boy could do was nod but then shake his head until he answered in a whimper, "I got a strange and scary dream..."

"Really, would you like to tell me about it? Maybe I can help you feel better," Stoick suggested, as Hiccup crawled out from his hiding spot to embrace his father tightly, not saying a word until the boy described his dream.

"I first heard someone crying and begging for something but then a baby was crying but all I saw was a big storm, a scary one," Hiccup wiped his wet eyes that were beginning to tear up that were soon followed by sniffles. "T-Then I heard voices screaming and fighting, a-and then people started telling me that you're not my real daddy! They were yelling, saying mean things but then you came and told me that...That...That I'm not your son! You s-s-said that I was useless a-a-and not your real son.." At that point Hiccup was sobbing in his father's beard, not noticing how tense and stunned Stoick was when he heard this.

"Shhh, don't cry Hiccup, it was only a dream..." Stoick whispered gently but Hiccup was too upset to listen since he whimpered and hiccuped at the same time, "I-I-I'm y-you're real s-s-son right? You'll a-a-always be m-my daddy, right?"

"Of course your my real son Hiccup," Stoick reassured, holding his son closer into a tighter embrace. "You have and always will be my son, and I'll always be your father no matter what happens. I love you son, don't you ever forget that. I'll always be here for you, always. I'll always be your father no matter what, no matter how much you mess up, daddy's here..."

"Promise?" Hiccup sniffled while his tears still poured. "You promise you're telling the truth?"

"I promise," Stoick smiled, planting a small gentle kiss on top of his son's forehead. "I promise you son, I'm your real father..."\

END FLASHBACK..

"You promised..." Hiccup mumbled in his sleep that night, "You're my real dad..."


The Next Day...

"Heather wake up! We have to get going," Astrid insisted as she shook said teen awake until she was fully awake and alert. "Today's the day." Heather could tell by the tone of fear Astrid had that this process wasn't going to be one they'll enjoy, which of course they'll never enjoy but the truth must be told before anything happens and it's too late.

"Alright gang, mount up we have a long way to go especially with the fog we're about to endure going through again," Heather stated the moment they finished a very silent breakfast. "And the moment we land on Berk we have to go confront Stoick about this. Now lets go!" Without a word of protest, everyone mounted up on their dragons and without hesitation they were off to the journey to Berk, for once in their lives, not very eager to return.

Meanwhile...

"Glad to see you back so son, things here were starting to get a little quiet without the dragons or any of you and your friends around," Stoick greeted the minute his son and nephew landed in the middle of the plaza. "And might I add you look very manly with your hair like that son." Hiccup chuckled for a second as he shook his head with a sigh, knowing awful too well from experience was this was.

"Alright dad you gave me honey now just bang my head with the hatchet."

"We need you to make some deliveries to Outcast Island," Gobber answered before Stoick could answer. "Just you and Toothless, delivering some Snoggletog decorations and some weaponry, with Alvin now as our allies we thought it would be best to help them make their island look more festive if you know I mean."

"I get it, so basically you need me and Toothless to give outcast island a new makeover before the next treaty?" Hiccup smirked, remembering the previous year when Gobber wouldn't keep his mouth shut about how horrible the island looked. "Alright then I guess we should get going now, knowing Alvin it'll take hours for me to convince him that we're not insulting him with this offering. Better to go now than come home very late." With that, Stoick and Gobber gave the duo the delivery boxes and they flew off in the speed of lightning once again.

"As for you Snotlout, you are going to help me continue decorating the village, hop to it lad!" Gobber commanded, with Snotlout not very far as they headed to their first destination, the Great Hall. Stoick went around the village with Skullcrusher to make sure everything was running smoothly for the holidays and the moment he was done, he was off to the Great Hall to assist Gobber and Snotlout.


"Look, there's Berk!" Astrid exclaimed with relief and very nervously despite going through another agonizing few hours through fog then through rain only to finally arrive at the island they weren't very eager to see.

"Alright, then, there's no turning back come on!" Following Heather's lead, they all landed in the village plaza, being greeted by vikings passing by as they bid them a happy Snoggletog. Before any of them could ask, Snotlout came running through the group while carrying wooden wreaths to greet them himself once they got off of their dragons.

"So you're finally back from your camping trip, gods Hiccup and I discovered some things you would not believe! Did you know that there was a gravestone that belongs to Gobber's family but they died before his kid could even reach a year old!" They could see Snotlout start to tear up until a word stuck out so clear that Astrid was quick to ask with concern.

"Wait did you say gravestone? Like the only gravestone!?"

"Of course it's the only gravestone woman didn't you listen to me!" Snotlout shouted but was the ambushed by another question Heather asked."Snotlout, where's Hiccup and Stoick?"

"Hiccup left to make some deliveries to Outcast Island and the chief's up at the Great Hall," Snotlout answered, suddenly noticing how uneasy the teens were acting, especially Heather and Astrid. "Why, what's going on?"

"We'll explain everything on the way, we have to get to Stoick come on!" Fishlegs responded, grabbing Snotlout's hand as the team ran towards the Great Hall with their dragons not far from behind them while he gave the teen every last detail of their discovery. Snotlout at first began to laugh, thinking that it was a joke but from the looks of seriousness his friends gave him he shook his head in disbelief while he muttered to himself throughout the whole way, "No way...It can't be...Hiccup can't be... He can't be a Berserker...There's just no way..."

"We'll prove it to you once Hiccup comes back," Heather snapped at Snotlout when they finally arrived at the door of the Great Hall, they stopped on their trails to take a deep breath before entering with a mighty force, clearly catching the attention of the people present which was only Stoick, Gobber, and Spitelout. Heather took another deep breath before she boldly approached the chief of Berk with her friends right behind her as she stated, "Stoick, in case you've forgotten I'm Heather, but I didn't come here for a visit or holiday," She then stopped to stand as tall as she could despite the man being taller, then she revealed her razorwhip birthmark and the map Garth gave them.

"I've come here to confront you, to tell you..." She paused before she continued on with full force, "That we know the truth Stoick! We know about the peace offering my father Oswald the Agreeable made with you eighteen years ago! We know that Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third is NOT your real son by blood, and that he's my twin brother!"


End of this chapter, oh my i wonder how stoick will react to this confrontation! Well you'll all see that answer later on in the next update!

Chao for now!
