At first I want to thank everyone who sent me an idea about Stoick and Grimmel's first encounter. In the end I decided to go with the one by CartoonLoverBecky because it fitted best with the quote I got about those two. So, special thanks to you.

And now: Shout-outs:

Wolf81: Seems like it. I mean, I can't please everyone. If someone doesn't like my story, they simply should stop reading it. Thank you so much for you review. And yeah, OCs are often essential for stories like this one.

Astrid Erica Lokison: Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you like this story so much. Please continue to enjoy it.

CartoonLoverBecky: Like I already said above, your suggestion was the one I found most fitting. Thank you.

Exposer: Thanks for the suggestion, even though I didn't use it.

SummerScale (Guest): Thank you very much. About your request: In this case the characters thoughts are impossible to express because I use Luna as a first person narrator and it would be weird to change it... I always try to let them speak when I think their reaction might be needed.

Guest: I always update on sundays. This might change when the transcript is finally completed but for now I just stick with updating once a week.

So, everyone enjoy this new update.

Legend has it

„Long ago, after my wife was taken by a dragon that one night I was so full of rage that I decided to try my luck at dragon hunting. So I sought out the warlords and worked for them for a few years. Grimmel was already part of the hunters back then, so we had to work together from time to time. He seemed to look up to me, probably because of my size and status but that are just guesses. I was quite successful but one day I realized that this wasn't the life I wanted, so I quit."

The Berkians were awed while Tamina and I looked at each other disgusted. „He was a part of them?" I whispered, hoping I had heard wrong.

Tamina shrugged. „Seems like it." she said.

„Why wasn't that the life you wanted?" asked Snotlout.

„Like I said: When I decided to join them I was still mourning my wife and felt that I had every right to feel all this rage against all dragons. But when my mourning subsided I realized how wrong I was."

„And what exactly was your relationship?" I asked, still not satisfied with his answers.

Stoick took a moment to think and answered: „We were co-workers. There had never been any friendship between us but we were still somehow close. We both admired each other for our accomplishments in dragon hunting and killing."

„So you were basically each other's heroes?" Tamina said.

Stoick nodded. „You could say that."

„Okay, so I guess we can continue, right?"

Everyone nodded their approval.

(The scene changes to a flaskback of Hiccup carried by his dad, Stoick, talking on top of a cliff.)

Stoick: Hiccup. This is Berk , son. It's our home. It was the home of your grandparents and their grandparents before them. As my job as chief to protect us , Hiccup. And one day when you're all grown up, that job will be passed on to you.

Tamina and I both sniffed, getting questioning looks from the others.

Hiccup: Okay.

„Aww."

Stoick: It's very important, son. Because out there beyond the sunset lies the home of the dragons.

„I remember that conversation." Hiccup said. „That was so long ago..." he trailed off.

Hiccup: Wow.

Stoick: Ah aye. Legends tell of ships that sailed to close to it, only to drop off the edge of the world. Never to be seen again.

(Hiccup gasps.)

I could hear several giggles and „aww"s from the others.

Stoick: But those sailers who turned back, told tales of a great waterfall. And dragons guarding the entrance to a hidden world.

Hiccup: Woah!

Stoick: Not just a nest, Hiccup. But a land from which all dragons come.

Hiccup: Even... Night Furies?

Stoick: Ha ha. Especially Night Furies.

Hiccup: Oh. Those are scary.

Stoick: Don't you worry. One day, I'll find the hidden world...and seal it up. So that people and dragons...will fight no more.

Clifftop Talk

(The scene changes from the flashback's Berk to the current Berk. Hiccup is on the same cliff as the flashback and Toothless pushes Hiccup lightly to get his attention.)

Stoick looked at me, questioningly. „Uhm, where am I by the way?"

Tamina and I looked at each other, silently debating whether to tell him or not. Finally I took the courage to speak up.

„You died one year prior to this..." I said shyly.

Stoick paled instantly.

„It's okay." Tamina chimed in, soothingly. „You protected Hiccup from a madman."

Stoick looked up. „Who?"

„Drago Bludvist." I whispered.

Hiccup: What?

(Toothless looks at Hiccup then looks at his leg and then back at Hiccup again.)

Hiccup: Oh all right. You do know it's not a chew toy, don't you? Is this what you want? Oh, do you want this leg? Do you want my leg? Yah. Go get it.

„Wait what?" „When did that happen?" „How come I didn't notice before." Everyone called out at once.

Tamina tried to calm them. „If you would just shut up, then I might have the chance to explain!" she shouted.

Everyone calmed down and stopped talking.

„Okay, so …" She looked directly at Hiccup, sitting besides her. „Sometimes being a hero has consequenzes." She said with an approving smile.

Hiccup seemed stunned. „Wait. Me? A hero?"

Tamina and I nodded. „Yes, you brought peace to the isle of Berk." I said, beaming with pride.

(Hiccup throws his metal prosthetic leg and Toothless fetches it. Hiccup sits down and works on his map. Then, Hiccup's leg drops from the sky onto his map. Toothless then solo glides above Hiccup.)

„Wow, that's some map!" Fishlegs exclaimed excitedly.

Hiccup: Getting pretty good at gliding on your own, bud.

(Toothless lands next to Hiccup and tries to persuade Hiccup to throw his leg again by shoving his leg onto Hiccup's map. Hiccup moves his finger along to the left of the map. Astrid and Stormfly appear and land next to Hiccup.)

„What's he searching for?"

„The Hidden World."

„The what?"

„Just like she said."

Astrid: Oh! So this is where you come to get away from Gobber!

„Why would he want to get away from me?" the one in question asked.

„You remember what happened in the Great Hall, right?" I asked him back.

„Uhm, yes."

„There you have the reason."

Hiccup: I have no idea what you're talking about.

(Toothless gives Hiccup's sloppy prosthetic leg to Astrid.)

Astrid: Err.

(Astrid throws the leg away in disgust. Toothless and Stormfly fetch the leg together. Astrid walks to Hiccup and wipes her hands on Hiccup.)

Astrid: Well. He's right you know.

Hiccup: R-Really? You think you and I should...

Astrid: Oh. Gods no. We're no where near ready for that.

Hiccup: Erm. That's-that's crazy.

Astrid: I mean he's right about all of this.

Hiccup: It does seem like the whole world knows about us now.

Astrid: Yep. And the more dragons we bring back here, the bigger of a target we become.

(Hiccup's prosthetic leg drops onto Astrid.)

Astrid: Yuck.

(Astrid, again, throws it away.)

Astrid: I just wish there was some way to make them leave us alone.

Hiccup: There might be. Dad used to talk about an old marrina's myth. Of a secret land at the edge of the world where dragons lived totally out of reach.

Astrid: Ha. Well sailors are known for tall tales.

Hiccup: True. But what if it's real. It could be the answer to all of our problems.

Astrid: How? By moving the dragons there.

Hiccup: Uh uh. All of us!

Astrid: Seriously! And abandon our home of seven generations? The home your father left you to protect.

Hiccup: Uh.

Astrid: Yeah I think we need a real solution, Hiccup.

(Meanwhile, Toothless is chewing Hiccup's prosthetic leg and not letting Stormfly have a go.)

Hiccup: Well we could just take Gobber's advice and tie the knot. That should fix everything. But, hey, if you're having doubts by yours truly, I'm pretty sure Snotlout's available.

„Oh, yes, I am." Snotlout boasted. *slap* „Oww!"

Astrid: Ha. He only has eyes for your mom.

Hiccup: Huh! Ohhh! Playing dirty now, huh?

Astrid: You asked for it! Looks like there might be a wedding after all.

Hiccup: Oh. Oh. Oh. How dare you. No. No. You are not getting away.

(Astrid then twists Hiccup's arm painfully.)

Hiccup: Oww. Okay. Okay. You win. You win. You always win.

Astrid: Ha. You knew what you were getting into.

Hiccup: Uh ha. Right.

(Toothless runs to the edge of the cliff and then glides down to the forest.

„What's going on?"

„Just wait and see?"

Hiccup: Uh, bud? Wai- Yeah sure don't bother to wait for us. Huh.

Reactions felt really difficult to do in this chapter but I hope you liked it anyway. See you next sunday. Bye.
