A/N: Understand this please before you read... This is a Hiccup death fiction... DON'T HATE ON ME BECAUSE I WARNED YOU. This is my first Fanfiction work so please give me some feed back. Leave reviews, it will hurry me along. I plan for this story to be around five chapters, but it is possible that I could be longer... We will see...
Hiccup was sitting at his desk looking over papers as he let out a heavy sigh and put his head into his hands. He was getting really tired of the clan gatherings. Vikings were so stubborn. He gathered clan leaders together to convince them that dragons were not a threat, but all they'd done at this one what argue back and forth. They still believed that dragons were mindless killing machines that wanted nothing more than to spill the blood of Vikings. It had been ten years since the last dragon incident on Berk, but that didn't convince the other clan leaders of anything. They didn't care that it was ten years ago, gods they wouldn't care if it was a century ago. All they cared about was who it happened to.
The incident happened to a well-respected man in all the clans, Stoick the Vast. When the other clans discovered that the circumstances of his death had included that he had died from a dragon's fire. To make matters even worse is that it was the dragon that Stoick's own son had "tamed." At least that's what they all were saying. Hiccup had been trying to convince them that dragons where no harm to Vikings for the last eight years after he heard that the other clans were hunting, trapping and killing dragons. All he wanted was for the clans to live in peaceful terms with dragons and stop all the unnecessary killing that had been happening over the years. He had managed to convince some of the clans of the benefits of befriending dragons, but now the remaining clans were the ones that just would not be swayed in their beliefs. He had gathered the same group of clan leaders for the last two year yet to no avail. Hiccup had announced that they would have a few hours of rest from debating, not for the other clans sake, but for his own. I irritated him deeply hearing all day that dragons were just killing machines.
Hiccup let out another heavy sigh, then he heard the door behind him open and he heard Astrid's voice, "Rough day?"
Hiccup replied as he turned around, "You have no idea, I'm sick of hearing the other clan leaders talk about dragons like some sort of infestation, it sickens me!" Hiccup said, then turning back around and putting his head back into his hands. Astrid walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around her husband. They had gotten married nine years ago to no ones surprise. They stayed like that for awhile, when Astrid finally broke the silence, "When was the last you and Toothless went on a flight together?" Hiccup thought for a moment, "Since the beginning of this clan gathering."
Almost immediately Hiccup felt Astrids arms lift from around him and then a punch to his arm. "Ow, what was that for." Hiccup complained. "That is for leaving Toothless hanging, you know how much he loves flying," Astrid said in a disappointed tone. "You take him flying though when I'm busy." Hiccup pointed out. "He loves flying with you! As your wife I'm telling you to go." Astrid commanded. "What about the meeting, I have to be back in an hour to-" Hiccup began. "To hell with the gathering your are sitting here staring into nothingness while your bestfriend is confined to the stables because his rider is only thinking about himself, I'll deal with the gathering, you go and spend the day with Toothless." She said while pushing him out the door and handing him a bag with his flight suit. "And don't even think about coming back until the sun starts going down." Astrid said. "But its morning." Hiccup replied.
"Exactly." Then Astrid slammed the door. Hiccup stood there dumbfounded. Hiccup finally snapped out of it a moment later and began heading towards the stables. As he got closer he saw some warriors from the visiting clans standing guard the entrance just in case the dragons were to attack their leaders. It was all part of the conditions of the clan gathering, of course all the dragons on Berk wouldn't bring any harm to anyone, but the clans wouldn't even consider coming if there were dragons all over the island so all of the dragons were required to stay in the stables. As he approached the door into the stables one of the guards stepped in between him and the door with a sword drawn. The warrior was young, eighteen, with a muscular stature, perhaps a son of a clan leader based on the armor he wore.
Hiccup stopped and rose an eyebrow in a questioning manner. The boy then said questioningly, "What do you think you're doing here?" "Well I thought I would go on a flight with my dragon," Hiccup stated, his voice calm. What the younger man said next threw Hiccup off, "You think I would let you release that beast out, after all it has already killed one clan leader, what makes you think it wouldn't do it again? Here is another question, why didn't it kill you? Did you command it to kill your father, so you could be chief?" He accused. Hiccup's gaze hardened, he looked to the warriors, they all didn't look overly keen to join in the fight, so Hiccup looked back to the young man.
Like a blur, Hiccup drew his sword, deployed the retracting blade, swung and hit the hilt of the man's sword. The man now disarmed and having no shield to defend himself couldn't stop Hiccup from smacking him across the head with the broad side of his sword. The young man fell to the ground, he would definitely have a headache from a hit like that, but that thought quickly left his mind as he felt the tip of Hiccup's sword on his throat. Hiccup now standing over the man looked down at him with a look of disappointment. "You are a fool, I would never have thought that someone could say something like that to anothers face without thinking that they would respond. Any other chief would kill if they were disrespected like that, but for the sake of this gathering I'm going to let this one pass," Hiccup said retracting his sword and putting it back onto his leg, although he didn't let the man stand back up. "Get of my island and if you ever step foot onto this island again, I will be a little less forgiving, you have five minutes to get back to your ship or I will throw you onto your ship." Hiccup threatened, he then walked into the stables and headed to Toothless's section, being the Alpha he had the top most stable. When Hiccup entered the room he called out, "Toothless wanna go flying bud?" That was when he realized Toothless was nowhere to be found.
Then suddenly Hiccup was tackled from behind, he managed to flip over to see Toothless before he was assaulted with a barrage of licks. "Yes… Toothless…. I…. Missed…. You…. Too," He said in between licks. Finally when Toothless was done, Hiccup quickly put on his flight suit. It was the same design as before although it had been remade to fit Hiccup's larger body. With all the training that Hiccup was required to do, Hiccup had put on some muscle from all the personal defence train required of the chief to make sure that he wouldn't get hurt in battle(although Hiccup didn't see the point of the training sense their past enemies weren't a threat anymore.) After he had put everything on he walked over to the window overlooking Berk and looked down to the entrance of the stables and saw that the young man still hadn't left. Hiccup turned to Toothless, "You mind if we do a quick errand before we go on that flight?" Toothless understanding the meaning behind Hiccup's statement smiled menacingly.
The man picked himself up after the chief of Berk entered the stables. He brushed the dust off of himself. The other clan guards laughing under their breath at him. "Shut up, why didn't you help me out," The man questioned. They didn't answer. The man still feeling rebellious stayed at the entrance to the stables to stand guard.
After five minutes, he bore a huge smile that he stood up to the chief, thats when he felt a hot breath on the back of his neck. He turned slowly to find him staring into the glare of none other that of a Night Fury, he looked up and saw the chief on the back of the dragon. He lifted his mask, "You know I thought you would have been smart enough to take my warning seriously, hey bud why don't we show this man what we do to trespassers." Hiccup said patting the side of the Night Fury. In response the black dragon spread his wings and got ready to launch off the ground.
"Thor help me," the man muttered.
A/N: So that was the first chapter, I wish I could update early but I know that won't happen... I already have the next chapter written and will probably post it soon... but after that I'm not sure how fast the chapters will come...
