Hiccup felt someone kick him in the side.
"Wake up!" screamed a voice. Hiccup opened his eyes and saw sand. Wasn't he in the woods? He was kicked again. "Get up!" said the female voice. As soon as Hiccup got to his feet a braided blonde picked him up by his shirt. "Who are you? Where is Hiccup?"
"I am Hiccup." Hiccup said weakly. The blonde threw him to the ground and drew her axe.
"You are not Hiccup." She said with venom. "Hiccup has brown hair, doesn't wear a helmet, and half of his lower leg is missing. You are not Hiccup."
"Look I am pretty sure I lost my way. Have you seen a wild blonde haired girl and a super skinny boy with glasses?" Hiccup said. He took a better look at the girl. She reminded him a bit of Camicazi.
"What are glasses?" Asked the blonde.
"You know, Glasses. Round pieces of glass in a wire frame." Hiccup said.
"Is it anything like a spy glass?" Asked the blonde.
"Kind of. But there are two lenses. One for each eye." He said. "It helps those with bad eye sight." The blonde nodded. "What's your name?"
"Why do you want to know my name?" She asked suspiciously.
"Well you know mine." Hiccup said.
"I know that you call yourself Hiccup, I don't know if that is the truth." the blonde stated.
"But it is my name!" Hiccup protested. The blonde rolled her eyes.
"I won't believe you until I have a reason to trust you." She replied. Hiccup sighed.
"Can I get your name? Just your first name. I won't ask for the last. The girl shook her head.
"No." She replied. Hiccup felt his shoulder's slump.
"Please, I don't think you want me calling you blondie." he said. The girl sighed.
"Astrid." She replied. Hiccup nodded. He then felt around inside his shirt.
"Where's Toothless?" Hiccup asked. The Astrid's eyebrows raise in suspicion.
"How do you know about Toothless?" She asked.
"He is my dragon." Hiccup said. Then something caught his eye. He turned to see a magnificent big black dragon with stunning green eyes. Hiccup immediately went over to the dragon.
"Howdeedoodeethere. Me calda Hiccup, farin okey?" Hiccup said in a series of click, hoots, and whistles. "Watcha calda?" The dragon tilted his head in confusion. " Hiccup tried again. "Howdeedoodeethere." The black dragon never replied. "Quera na yow jabber wi me?" The dragon then made a concerned coo and Hiccup didn't understand. "I don't get it. I can't speak to this dragon."
"No one can speak to dragons. All we can do is call them." Astrid said.
"Yes they can. I speak to Toothless all the time." Hiccup said. Astrid started laughing. "What?"
"Well it seems as if Toothless didn't understand you." she laughed. Hiccup looked at the black dragon then at Astrid.
"He's Toothless?" asked Hiccup.
"Yep." Said Astrid. "That is Hiccup's pride and joy right there. The unholy offspring of lightning and death itself. The Night Fury." The dragon she called Toothless now smiled and showed his pearly white teeth.
"If this is Toothless, why does he have teeth?" asked Hiccup. Toothless then retracted his teeth revealing his pink gums. "Okay that makes sense." Hiccup said.
"So 'Hiccup' where is the Hiccup I was with?" Asked Astrid. Suddenly it hit him.
"Your Hiccup? There is another person in this world who happens to have been cursed with the same miserable name as me?" asked Hiccup. "Is he also seeking to become King of Wilderwest?
"Hiccup? He doesn't even want to become chief let alone a king. What is Wilderwest? Is that where you're from?" she asked.
"It's not like that. Wilderwest is the entire Barbaric Archipelagos. I am from the Island called Berk." Hiccup replied. Astrid frowned.
"This is Berk." She replied. Hiccup looked around. It didn't look like his Berk.
"Something's wrong." he said. "This can't be berk."
"Well it is." Astrid said. Hiccup looked back at her. She was really pretty. The blue eyes and her pale freckled made her seem like a Valkrye. Her armor on the other hand, made her look like a savage warrior. A spiked skirt... How did she sit in that? Metal shoulder guards that also seem to have spikes on them. How could that be comfortable? She seemed to notice he had been staring. "What?!" she demanded.
"Nothing, just taking in my surroundings." Hiccup said. "Can you show me around?"
"No." Astrid said.
"Why not?" he asked.
"I don't know if you are working for Alvin the Treacherous or Dagur the Deranged." she said. "I will not show you anything. You could use it against us."
"You have to deal with Alvin too?" Asked Hiccup. "I thought that I was the only one who has to fight with him."
"You know Alvin?" she asked.
"Yeah I know that slimy dirtbag!" Hiccup said. "He and I have been butting heads for a while now. How many limbs is he missing now?"
"He isn't." Astrid replied. "His limbs are still attached to him." Hiccup was confused.
"This isn't making any sense!" He said sitting down. "Is there a Stoic the Vast here?"
"That's my chief, what of it?" Astrid said.
"That's my dad!" I said hoping that it would work.
"No he's not." She said. "He's my Hiccup's dad!"
"What about Valhallarama?" Hiccup asked.
"No one exists by that name." Astrid said.
"But that's my mom!" Hiccup said. "She has to exist." Astrid's face fell. "What's wrong?"
"My Hiccup never knew his mother." Astrid said. "From what I was told, her name was Valka and she was carried off in a dragon raid. Hiccup was a newborn." I felt words leave me. The Hiccup that was here lost his mom. His mom was gone all the time, but she wasn't dead. Hiccup then remembered what else she said.
"Dragon raid?" he said. "What do you mean Dragon raid?"
"Dragon's used to raid Berk, till MY Hiccup killed the queen with Toothless here." Astrid said scratching Toothless under his chin. "That's how he lost his leg."
"Wow, I feel sorry for your Hiccup." Hiccup said. He looked over at Toothless. "What happened to his tail?"
"Hiccup shot him down before we made peace with the dragons." Astrid said. I winced, I couldn't even think of hurting my Toothless. "His fall torn that part of his tail off, but my Hiccup made him that prosthetic tail fin and flies with him." Hiccup's eyes then lit up.
"Did you say fly?"
