I'm back with another chapter and in this one Hiccup will be learning all about dragons I won't bore you with the details
Chiefs Home
"SON! ITS DINNER!" Yelled Stoick the Vast
"IM COMING" was the reply as a young boy walked down the stairs and sat down in his seat ready for dinner
As Stoick and Valka were seated they had small talk until Stoick came out and said something that shocked Valka
"Son I've been hearing rumours" said the Cheif
"About what?" Replied Hiccup
"You" Hiccup just looked at his dad in confusion
"I heard you killed a dragon" said Stoick
"Is it true?"
"Well it was only a Gronkle so it wasn't a really big deal" replied Hiccup
Valka was shocked and so was Stoick that had both heared the rumours about there son but hearing it was true was a whole other thing
After getting over the shock Stoick said "Your first kill I'm proud of you son, you normally only get your first kill when you are ten after you get the best scores at the dragon academy but you got it four years early you can bet I'm bragging to the other chiefs at our next meeting"
"Thanks Dad"
Gothi's Home
"For the next year I will be your sheep?" Was all Hiccup could say as he was hit on the head by Gothi's staff
"It's really hard to read this stuff there is no need to bonk my head"
"Yes there is" Hiccup read in the dirt
"Fine I'm guessing it said for the next year I will be your student" said Hiccup as Gothi nodded
"Alright then let's get started Grandma"
Bonk!
Time Skip One Year
"Aaannnd done" Said Hiccup after finishing his test on the book of dragons
All Gothi did after checking it over was give a smile thumbs up and write 100% on the ground
"Alright! Don't take offence to this Gothi but sometimes studying sucks" said Hiccup
Gothi just sighed and nodded
"Can I go home now?"
A nod was all he received
That year had been a busy one for Hiccup learning about all the types of dragons and even some myths of dragons about all their weak points and the hostility of some dragons compared to others after starting on his walk home he heared a man yell out "WERE UNDER ATTACK!"
After hearing the mans yell he realized he should probobly get a bucket and help put out fires that was what young Vikings do because they can't handle the fight against dragons but he wasn't just any Viking he was Hiccup Haddock and he may only be seven but he knew how to fight
He ran to the armoury to get his sword forged by himself he grabbed it and was on his way after avoiding Gobber
He knew the dragons came for food so he headed for the sheep pens where he could see a flock of Deadly Nadders carrying away some sheep that were meant to be stored away this winter
Knowing that Berk might not survive without a steady supply of food for the winter he pulled out a bola and started swinging it and then threw it and struck home the biggest Deady Nadders attention was on him as well as every other nadder in the flock
A normal Viking could kill three Nadders before dying, a pristine Viking could kill ten Nadders before dying, A cheif could kill thirty Nadders before dying there were forty Nadders in front of Hiccup and he realized his chances of survival were practically zero but his village needed the food the life of one for the life of many
As Hiccup faced off against the Nadders he realized 'this is where I will die' but he didn't care as he yelled his warcry and started sprinting forwards
Time seemed to slow down and Hiccup got in the zone as he killed and killed and killed a nadder launched its spikes at him he dodged as the spikes flew into two other Nadders
Hiccup forgot what was happening as this point and started focusing on survival as he spared a glance to look at his blade and it was covered in blood as was the ground around him but he didn't gag he didn't even acknowledge the gore building up around him as he kept slaying the Nadders
As their numbers started dwindleing down and a pile of bodies was stacked up Hiccup was exausted as he muttered "Oden give me strength" as he faced off with the last dragon the leader of the flock
Sword and claw slashed the two seemed to be at a standstill but as they were locked together Hiccup let go of his sword causing the nadder to stumble forwards and he jabbed a knife into the back of the leaders head going into the brain and effectively killing it
Hiccup was in the middle of a massacre of dragons all slated by one person as he lied down on the red stained grass exaustion finally kicking in he realized
"I don't have a scratch on me" he said to himself and started to chuckle
"Thank god Gothi told me all of those stories or I would've probobly gone insane" he said as he thought back to all the stories of dragons killing Vikings killing his family so he saw fit to pay them back in full for what they had done to his ansestors
"Look at the Nadders by the sheep!" Hiccup heard someone yell
"They are all dead!" he heared another voice yell spitelout was his name he thought it was at least
"There is a body in the centre of the death" that was his fathers voice
As the footsteps came closer Hiccup realized he was covered in blood no wonder they didn't recognize him
"HICCUP" Stoick yelled as he finally realized the man who killed the Nadders was no man at all he was just a boy and the only boy capable of this was his son Hiccup
The figure bathed in blood was his son but not his own blood his was bathing in enemy blood
Dragons Blood
"Hey dad" replied an exausted voice
"Hiccup what happened here?" asked Stoick realizing his son was just exausted
"I killed them" was the reply
"I realized they would go for our food because you always talk about 'damn dragons stealing our winter supply' so I went to the sheep herd and found a flock of Nadders"
Stoick nodded his head so his son would continue
"Then I thought if they took the sheep we will only have fish to eat for the winter which could lead to malnourishment so I thought if I took a few with me I could help the village survive the winter"
Stoick just looked around at the bodies of dragons and thought 'I might of not been able to pull this off'
"After I saw them flying away I readied a bola and threw it at the leader after getting its attention I fought and time seemed to slow down as I slashed dodged and stabbed to prevent the village from dying out in the winter"
Spitelout just looked at Hiccup in shock and believed every word the child uttered he was Stoicks son after all
"After I somehow killed all the dragons only the leader was left as we fought it seemed as if we were identical neither of us could get a hit but after I dropped my sword and stabbed it in the back of the head it was over"
Stoick was proud of his son, he was praising his son because he was right Berk probobly wouldn't of survived winter without the sheep and his son had just saved them, a boy his boy had just proved he was an adult at the age of seven his son was a man no one could deny it, Stoick could only wonder what kind of a man Hiccup would be when he turned twenty would he be able to end the dragon scourge? possibly if at the age of seven he could accomplish this.
"I'm going to sleep now dad I'm completely exausted" Hiccup said and Stoick realized he was keeping his son from rest by asking all those questions
"Rest my son you've more then earned it"
The Next Day
The village was in shock the chiefs son had just slaughtered a whole flock of Deadly Natter forty in total with an alpha dragon leading the flock
As Hiccup stepped outside making his was to the forge to develop weapons realizing that the only weapon that could hit a flying dragon that they had was a bola or a spear they needed something more conventional something that could hurt a flying dragon or even kill it while it's in the air
He walked down the road sore as anything from his fight last night and thought 'I'f I Am this sore I need to up my training'
As he walked he realized people were staring at him not the normal stares that came with being the cheifs son stares that held praise and admiration at first he was confused until he realized that his actions last night had bigger impacts that he first expected
After arriving at the forge and finding that Gobber was nowhere in sight he started to make plans for a new weapon something precise but sharp enough to peirce dragon hide
A mini spear launcher if you would like a bow but more powered he had the blueprints but what should he name it something that rolled off the tounge but sounded awesome
Ballista
That was it
As he got to work and the hours flew by he was near done so he put a sheet over it and wondered where Gobber was all day
He was sweaty tired and had oil all over his hands it was time for a bath
He started walking through the woods to his 'second home' it was a large hole in the ground practically a crater that had a pond in it as well as a waterfall a perfect spot for bathing nice and private
When he finished bathing he got his clothes back on and realized that with all the praise he was getting he had no time to train or even create new inventions and this was the perfect spot for those thing to be accomplished but all those things could be done at a later date for now he was hungry and tired after a long days work
So he headed home with new thought on the Balista in his head as he arrived at his door he opened it to a sight he didn't expect
A party or something of the sorts people from all around Berk were here even people who weren't he recognized Big Boobied Bertha and thought 'why would she be here' and then realized the party must be for some sort of truce or alliance of sorts but wouldn't they do this in the grand hall then? Wait a minute people from the village... these were families of Berk probobly trying to get on the cheifs good side but Big Boobied Bertha she shouldn't give a rats ass about what goes on here unless it was to attack the Bog-Berglars...
There was also Oswald the Agreeable of the Berserkers but why was he here?
"Hiccup finally you have arrived" said his father Stoick
"What took you so long son we were waiting a long time for you arrival" said his mother Valka
"I was busy in the forge trying out new ideas for weapons and I have one I want Gobber to look over but first what is with the party" Replied Hiccup
"Ah this is your coming of age party Hiccup" replied Stoick
Hiccup raised an eyebrow "Aren't Viking coming of age parties supposed to happen when they turn sixteen after their first dragon kill"
"Yes but you are a special case with what you had accomplished last night you are a true man"
"You realize you are saying that to a seven year old"
"Yes Hiccup I can proudly say that even if I were to die I would have no problem or doubts leaving Berk to my son"
"Ok fine so what is going to happen here?"
"We have several Clans that have female heiresses and wish for an alliance" said Stoick
"So you are going to force me to marry because I killed a few dragons" Replied Hiccup
"That was the idea" Replied Stoick
"Dad I am seven how would I be able to love someone when I haven't even started to have feelings for woman" countered Hiccup
"Yes that is why you will not be getting married for a few more years you are still a seven year old after all but there is still the possibility of peace among our clans with a promise of marriage"
"'Sigh' Fine when will I be married?" asked Hiccup knowing this was a common situation among clans so he saw no reason argueing that was just the way things went
"You will be married the day you turn sixteen" answered Stoick
"Very well then there isn't much I can do about it so who will I be marrying?"
"That is where the complications start"
Hiccup just looked at him in confusion
"Complications?"
"Yes son complications there will be more than one"
"What do you mean 'more than one'?"
"I mean you will have to have two wives" Replied Stoick readying himself for his sons yelling
But the yelling never came his son just sat there and looked on in deep thought 'It makes sense, it's not morally right but our clan almost dying from losing one herd of sheep is a prime example, we need allies and while the Bog-Burglars move around and accumulate different markets merchandise from all the land and the Berzerkers live farther south where the land is hotter and capable of farming while Berk supplies the hardiest Vikings this could be a great alliance
"I accept" his dad looked at him in surprise
"I will tell you my reasoning later but I will accept but I wish to know the two of their names at least"
That's when Bertha decided to cut into the conversation "My daughter Camikaze has heared of your exploits and even without seeing you desires to marry you and I can't deny it would be great for our clans to unite"
"The other is my daughter Heather and when I purposed the idea to her she was less then happy but she respects warriors so I'm sure she can learn to love" said Oswald The Agreeable
"Camikaze and Heather two beautiful names alright that seals the deal I accept this proposal but I hate to seem rude but I need rest and time to clear my head"
"Understood" both clan heads said simultaneously but secretly surprised that a seven year old could say such complicated words
As Hiccup layed in his bed he thought 'why not look on the good side I get two wives how many guys can say that' as his thought wandered he drifted off to sleep
And that's the end of that chapter a long one in my books but a good one nonetheless hope you enjoyed and let's see what happens next
