New faces

Toothless poked at his rider's sleeping bag, "Noooooooooo five more minutes." Hiccup said from inside. Toothless gave a snort. Using his tail, he flipped the bag into the air. Landing on the ground, Hiccup scrambled out, "Alright! Alright! Korra is right, mornings are evil." Hiccup said rolling the bag up.

It had been a week and a half since Hiccup had left republic city. Since then, Hiccup had asked almost every official in the fire nation to see if they knew what the symbol had meant. Finally, he met trader who, stay with him here, knew a guy, who knew a guy, who knew a fisherman, who knew the cousin of guy, who knew where the place might be.

Hiccup mounted Toothless and flew over the island he had camped out on. The man said his guy was someone named trader Johan, who regularly took trips to a island, the island had the same seal on some merchandise as on his cloth. It seamed a like his best bet to start. Unfortunately, since he was a trader, he could be anywhere in the sea, but the man had kindly given Hiccup a map of the area where he operated out of, so he now had a chance. And he wasn't going to waste it.

After checking a few more islands, Hiccup's stomach growled, looking at his oldest friend he asked, "Hey bud you hungry?" Toothless let his tongue out and flop around his lips, "I'll take that as a yes." Hiccup said to himself. Locking the tail fin in place, Hiccup turned around and crawled to his supplies, finding his fishing net, he locked his foot into place and dived down to the water. Just above the water, he cast the net into the ocean. After a few moments, Hiccup pulled the rope up and found that he had stuck gold, scaly, wet, gold.

Setting the fish aflame, Hiccup couldn't help but smirk, they had caught about fifty fish in one go. Toothless was in heaven. Looking over to his friend he said, "If you keep eating like that, you won't be able to fly." Toothless merely have him a 'Shut up, I'm eating.' look. After putting out the fire, Hiccup began his lunch when the beating of wings. Looking up he saw...tiny dragons!?

Nearly choking on his fish, her couldn't help but gawk at the small beings. As they landed a few feet away, he felt Toothless begin to tense up, looking over, he saw that the dragon had swept a good amount of cod towards him. The message was clear, 'These are mine.' That was until one fish stood up straight. One of them had snuck in and taken one of Toothless's fish.

Before it could get away, Toothless yanked the cod from its mouth. The small dragon recovered and snorted at him, he then drew his head back ,and took a breath. But before it could blast fire, Toothless sent a plasma blast into it's open mouth, apparently it burnt the inside of the dragons mouth and it quickly scurried off. "Heh, not so fireproof on the inside huh?" Hiccup asked the defeated dragon, picking up one of his fish, he tossed it at the dragon.

The small dragon quickly gulped it down. It then looked towards Hiccup and crawled towards him. Pushing his hand over his head, the small dragon comfortably laid itself down at his side. Hiccup smiled, Toothless had done the same thing when he first fed him.

Hiccup looked down at the map. He had spent four days searching the contents of the map and still nothing. It was early in the evening and the sun was beginning to set. As he look went over his position once more, his seismic sense picked something up, something human. Hiccup stood, and stomped his foot onto the ground, after a moment, he felt it again.

"Toothless, stay." he commanded as he walked towards the shoreline. After some walking, the smell of smoke in the air told that he was close. Walking through a a thicket, he saw that he should have announced his himself, seeing as though a ax was thrown right at him!

Diving forward, the ax barely took off his head as he tumbled onto the beach. Looking up, he saw the shocked faces of five teens and a adult, "WHAT THE HELL! YOUR LUCKY I DON'T THROW YOU ALL IN JAIL FOR ASSULT!" Hiccup shouted at the group. The adult walked forward, "Sorry lad, we didn't know that anyone would be 'ere on the island." he said. Looking up, Hiccup saw that he had only two actual limbs, the others where prosthetics.

"I guess that's reasonable. To be fair I should have called out first." Hiccup said standing up. "Any of you guys happen to be trader Johan? I've been looking for the guy for a few days." the man shook his head, "Sorry lad, names Gobber, Gobber the belch." he said. Gesturing to the teens he introduced them, "This 'ere is Astrid." he said pushing the blonde girl forward, "Hey." she said curtly. "The boy with the muscles bigger than 'is head is Snotlout."

The buff teen looked at the man, "Hey, I'm right here!" he said offensively. Ignoring him, Gobber continued, "The two blunder heads are Ruffnut and Tuffnut." he saint pointing to the twins, the guy was looking over Hiccup's armor, while Ruffnut was looking over the guy inside the armor. "And the big one is Fishlegs." he said gesturing to the husky boy.

"I'm Hiccup BeiFong." Hiccup said bowing before the group, Snotlout snickered, "Hiccup? What kind of name us that?" Astrid stepped on his foot shutting him up, Okay, don't like him, her, Korra would love. "What kind of name is Snotlout?" Hiccup retorted, shutting the boy up, "What ya doing 'ere boy? This island is out of the way of any settlement, we're just out 'ere for survival training." Hiccup smirked and took a breath, "That's a bit of a long story." Gobber gave a hearty chuckle, "Lad, if you don't tell 'em, they'll just keep pestering you about it." he said looking at the teens.

It was true. All of them seemed to want to hear his tale. "Alright, just a sec." he said, earthbending a seat to sit on. The others backed away in surprise, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" Astrid exclaimed, Hiccup looked at them strangely, "Earthbending, you guys act like..." he started, "you never seen it before. Man this is going to be a history lesson."

(Line)

After telling them all about bending, the technology, and everything else, they all just stared blankly at him. "So...your like...a hero?" Astrid asked, Hiccup shrugged, "If that where true, all the police would have a statues in their names." he said. "So why are you looking for trading Johan?" Fishlegs asked, Hiccup took the cloth out of his pocket. "This was with me when my mother found me, we think it may be a family seal or something." he said handing the parchment to Gobber.

Looking down at the cloth, Gobber felt his heart stop. "Lad...how old are you, exactly?" Hiccup looked at him curiously, "Seventeen. Why?" he asked. Gobber took a breath, "I know where your from." Hiccup wanted to be happy, but the way he said it made him unsure if it was a good thing he may have found his home.

"Okay...what's the catch? Are they like...at war with your people or something?" he asked. The man shook his head, "You five go give us some time alone." he ordered. The others hesitated but eventually walked off farther down the beach. Hiccup turned to the man, "Look if it's something bad, don't hesitate." the man took a breath. "Your from the isle of Berk. It's our home, it's where we've lived for hundreds of years." he said.

Hiccup's head was spinning. He found it...he actually found it. "Oh my sprits. HOLY SPRITS! What's it like? Where is it? What's our culture like?" Hiccup asked, then the real question popped into his mind. "Why was I cast into the sea?" he asked with a ice cold voice. The man rubbed his eyes, "Hiccup...our tradition says that us Vikings are supposed to be a strong people...we're supposed to be big, strong, and...well big. And for those who aren't as strong-" "GOBBER!" the two's heads snapped to Fishlegs running towards the pair.

Catching his breath he wheezed out, "Astrid (wheeze) dragon (wheeze) got." Hiccup pout two and two together and air scootered as fast as he could to Toothless. Breaking through the thicket he say that Toothless had the girl pinned to the ground, Snotlout and the twins stood off to the side in fear. "TOOTHLESS STOP!" Hiccup shouted.

The dragon looked at his master with relief, getting off Astrid, he dashed towards Hiccup with excitement. But stopped when he saw the look in his eye, "I'm going to say this once, and only once. DO. NOT. EAT. STRANGERS!" he said.

Looking over the reptile he saw that Astrid was safe, but she looked like she was seeing a ghost. A quick glance at the Twins and Snotlout, and he saw the same thing. Before he could saw anything, Gibber burst through the brush. "HAVE AT IT 'YE SPAWN OF...eh?" he was confused as ever. A human was literally mere inches from a dragon, and it wasn't trying kill him!

"Hiccup, step away and I'll finish the job." he called to the teen. Toothless gave Hiccup a confused look. Shrugging, he replied, "Gobber? That was my fault, Toothless isn't exactly good with new faces when I'm not around." he said, patting the dragon on the head, Fishlegs nearly had a heart attack. "Hiccup...did you just call it Toothless?" the husky boy said from behind Gobber. Hiccup made the 'smile' gesture with his finger, Toothless gave them a tooth free smile.

Walking over to Astrid he saw the fear in her eyes, "Hey he won't hurt you." he said, taking her hand, he placed it on the reptile's head. Astrid was in awe at the creature, it's skin felt smooth. A few minutes ago it was ready to tear her head off, now it was like a house pet. "See? Harmless...most of the time." he added.

After making sure Astrid wasn't hurt, Gobber approached the young man, "Boy...how on earth? Hiccup shook his head, "I already told you all about my home, your turn. First question, why was I found in a piss poor excuse for a raft?" he asked. "Wait, you mean this guy is from Berk?" Snotlout asked, he then started laughing, "Oh Thor! That's so funny!" Hiccup looked at the him like he ways crazy, "Uhh, how is that funny. Exactly?" the teen whipped tears out if his eyes and looked at Hiccup, "Hiccups are mistakes, they're weak. And bad luck. We toss them so they don't bring the tribe down."

Hiccup took a moment to process this, he was...a mistake? "Lad, let me explain." Gibber said, placing a hand on Hiccup's shoulder. Hiccup swiped it away, "Is it true?" he asked, Gobber looks down, It is true. "You...you...YOU SICK BASTARDS!" Hiccup shouts, they all flinch at the outburst. "How many?! How many infants did you drown in the sea!" Astrid steps forward, "It's not like-"

"YES IT IS!" Hiccup shouted, his voice echoing, not only his, but others. His eyes began to glow and the ground rumbled, sending the Vikings stumbling.

Hiccup was mad, no beyond mad, he was furious! He wanted them to suffer, he wanted them to die, he wanted...he wanted, he wanted his mother. He wanted his mother be here, by his side, whispering sweet things into his ear. He wanted Korra, Asami, Mako, Bolin, Tenzin. He wanted to go home.

He felt the tears begin to roll down his face. After a few moments of silent crying, a nudge at his hand made his head snap to see Toothless, with sympathy in his eyes. Hiccup felt his body tire and he leaned onto Toothless. Looking around, he saw that the area had been devastated, the ground was uprooted, the trees no longer had leaves, and a smile fire was beginning at his feet. Luckily the Vikings where not hurt, Gobber was on the ground, trying to get up, Astrid had clung to a tree to keep herself on the ground, the twins where in said tree. Snotlout was in the ground, up to his waist but it would take some time to dig him out. Fishlegs was cowering behind a rock.

Hopping onto Toothless's back, he clipped his buggies into place and put his foot into the shifter. Looking at the Vikings he said, "The only reason I'm not hurting any of you is because I'm better than that. If I see any of you again, you may not as be as lucky." and with that, he took off into the dark sky.

Hiccup wanted to forget what had just happened, but in the back of his mind he was glad he knew his origin. He now knew that from that moment on, he was Hiccup Beifong. He didn't care if he was a king, he didn't want to be a chosen one, he wanted to be who he wanted to be. Not what others branded him.

He was Hiccup Beifong.

He was the Avatar.

And he will not let anyone tell him different.

AN: LET ME EXPLAIN BEFORE I GET HATE MAIL FROM FANS! Put yourself in his shoes, you just found out your a mistake, so to speak, are you really going to want to go to the place that they didn't want you? No. But he will get there eventually. On a side note, I HATED PEACEKEEPERS! They can't break up they just can't! To be honest, I think Mako had a reason to go behind her back, but he doesn't need to break up with her! If they aren't back together by the end of the month I'm going to write the biggest hate letter to the writers of the show. Anyone who is with me say so. But I also see things from Korra's side, I'm just pissed off alot at the show now. I'll still watch it though. I WILL NOT BREAK HICCUP AND KORRA UP I SEWAR TO WHATEVER IS WATCHING OVER US.

Oh yea and don't forget to Fallow Favorite, and Review.
