Sorry for the long wait. But, without further ado, let's get right into the new chapter.

Chapter 4: The Birth of the Dragon Master
(Early morning in Arendelle, Hiccup's property)
Hiccup woke up early. Of all the ways to make a first impression in Arendelle, saving the kingdom from pirates was not what he had in mind. He was sure that the castle guards would be looking for him. Which was why after saving the people, he and the other dragons took off in the opposite direction of their property. To throw the people off.
Choosing not to dwell on it any longer, he got out of bed and went to the barn to wake the dragons up for breakfast. Thankfully, they each carried a barrel full of fish, minus Sharpshot, so they didn't have to worry about going to town for fish. After all, a small, scrawny boy buying tons of fish would be very suspicious.
Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs, he was jumped by a certain black dragon who started giving him kisses.
"Ugh, for the hundredth time Toothless," he said in disgust. "You know that doesn't wash out."
After getting as much dragon saliva as he could off him, he and Toothless walked over to the barn. "Hey everyone! Time to wake up!"
The dragons all groggily got up and walked out of their respective pens. Sharpshot, whose pen was like a mansion to him, flew over and landed on Hiccup's shoulder.
"Morning Sharpshot. Sleep well?" The little green dragon roared with a yes.
"Okay everyone. Time for breakfast."
(With Agnarr and the guards)
After having breakfast, Agnarr took five guards and started looking for the boy who was riding the dragons from last night.
After about five hours of looking in the direction they headed last night, they came up with nothing.
After arriving back at the castle, Agnarr sent the guards to continue their jobs. He then went to have lunch and continue his king duties. After a long exhausting day, he decided to go on a walk to try and clear his head.
While walking through town, his mind kept wandering to the mysterious boy. Who was he? Why was he on a dragon? Why were they listening to him? These were just a few of the questions going through his mind.
He was so deep in thought that he didn't realize he walked out of the kingdom and into the woods.
As he was thinking, he suddenly bumped into something.
"What the…?" He looked up and saw a tree in front of him. He looked around and saw that he was in the middle of the forest.
"Uh oh," he said to no one in particular. He then started trying to find his way back, but kept taking a wrong turn. He turned around and saw the last thing he wanted to see, multiple glowing yellow eyes in the dark staring straight at him.
'Oh shit!' he thought and started running.
Hiccup was working on the house all day. Since no one lived in it due to it being the farthest from the kingdom, It was kind of run down, along with the stables.
Hiccup slumped back in his chair outside to relax and enjoy the fresh air after a hard day's work. Even with the dragons lifting the heavy stuff for him, it still wasn't easy.
As he was about to close his eyes and get some sleep, Toothless, who was laying right next to him, perked up. This got Hiccup's attention.
"What is it bud?" he asked as Toothless grumbled and made other noises (A/N: For future reference, when I say grumbles, garbles, or whatever the right word is, I'm referring to what he does in the shows when he's trying to tell Hiccup something) and looks towards the forest.
Believing something was wrong, he hopped on Toothless and signalled for Hookfang, and Barf and Belch and raced into the woods to deal with whatever was wrong.
(Meanwhile with Agnarr)
Agnarr was running faster than he had ever run in his entire life. He was able to out maneuver the wolves, but they were still gaining on him. Some had already managed to land a few bites, but he used his arms to protect himself. Sure, it hurt like hell, but it was that, or his face and throat.
As he looked behind him to see how close the wolves were, he tripped on a root and twisted his ankle.
"Aaaahhh, dammit!" he shouted as he looked back up. All the blood drained from his face when he found himself surrounded by wolves.
He closed his eyes preparing for the worst when suddenly, there was an explosion. He opened his eyes and saw all the wolves in one spot growling at something. He followed their gaze and saw a scorched spot on the ground.
He looked up and saw the black dragon and its rider from the other night. What he wasn't expecting was said rider to be a scrawny young boy.
The dragons that were with consisted of a green, two-headed dragon, a large orangish-red dragon, and a dragon that was as black as the night sky. It was hard to make out, but all Agnarr could easily see were its green eyes.
Before the king could say anything else, the boy started commanding the dragons.
"Barf, Belch, light'em up!" The right head started spewing gas at the wolves and the left head released some sparks, causing an explosion. This forced the wolves to momentarily back away. However, they immediately started running forward towards the group.
"Hookfang, flame up!" The big dragon then coated its entire body in fire which stopped the wolves in their tracks due to both surprise and fear.
Deciding to finish it. The young man spoke to the dragon he was mounted on.
"Toothless, plasma blast!" That one blast was finally enough to scare the wolves away.
Agnarr was so shocked that he didn't realize the boy hop of Toothless and make his way over to him.
"Are you alright?" The king looked and saw the boy standing in front of him with his hand extended out to help him up.
"Yes, thank you," Agnarr said as he took his hand and got back up only to wince in pain, forgetting that he twisted his ankle.
"On second thought, maybe I'll just stay down here. I tripped and hurt my ankle while running from those wolves," he told Hiccup.
"Okay."
"Still, thank you for saving my life. I'm indebted to you."
"Oh, it's no problem mister…"
"Agnarr," he said, "King Agnarr of Arendelle."
To say Hiccup was shocked was like calling the Monstrous Nightmare hot when it lit up. Regaining his composure, he quickly bowed.
"Your majesty." He then looked at the dragon and quickly nudged his head, telling them to do the same thing, which they did.
"I appreciate your kindness. What is your name?"
The boy got back up and said, "Hiccup."
Agnarr couldn't help but chuckle. "Sorry for my rudeness."
"Don't be. I know it's a silly name. My full name is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the III."
"Interesting," Agnarr said and then looked at the dragons. "Do your pet dragons have names?"
That little comment made the three dragons growl at him, making him feel very uneasy.
"They aren't pets," Hiccup said, "They're my friends. First up is Barf and Belch. Barf is the right head and belch is the left. They're a Hideous Zippleback, one head releases gas and the other ignites it."
Agnarr was listening closely, his interest peaked to the max. Hiccup then moved on to the biggest dragon of the group.
"And this is Hookfang, a Monstrous Nightmare. He fires a kerosene-like substance that ignites as soon as it hits the air. He's also capable of igniting his entire body." Hookfang did a demonstration.
Agnarr was surprised this boy knew so much about dragons. Hiccup then moved on to Toothless.
"Finally, this is Toothless. A Night Fury. He blends in with the night, shoots powerful plasma blasts, and has retractable teeth, hence the name 'Toothless'."
"I must say," he stated, "It's amazing that you managed to tame three dragons, especially at a young age."
Deciding to try his luck, Hiccup said, "Well they aren't the only ones."
"What?"
"Tell you what, if it's okay with you, I can take you back to my place and introduce you to the rest? I'll even help wrap up your leg."
The king decided to accept both offers and arrived at the house hitching a ride on Toothless. There, Hiccup told him about the dragons and about his past on Berk. Agnarr felt sickened at the way he was treated in his old home and came to a decision.
"Well Hiccup. You don't have to worry about your safety or the dragons."
"Wait, what do you mean?"
"You have such talent and it would be a shame for it to all go to waste." He then stood up, balancing on his good foot. "Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the III, I, King Agnarr of Arendelle, hereby declare you "Hiccup the Dragon Master"."
Hiccup was left speechless, but still managed to find the right words. "Thank you, your majesty. It may take many years, but I will live up to that name."
"I'm glad to hear that. One more thing, do you think you can give me a ride home?"
(Arendelle's Castle)
Agnarr never thought, in his wildest dreams, that he would be riding on the back of a dragon. Hiccup, who put on his disguise, climbed on Toothless with Agnarr seated behind him. They were his escort back to the castle.
As they neared it, they saw a massive crowd near the bridge to the castle gates. It was composed of the citizens, the guards, and even his wife.
"Looks like they're setting up a search party for you," Hiccup said and Agnarr agreed while trying to figure out how to approach this.
Toothless also warbled in agreement. However, that one noise was loud enough to catch the attention of some of the people.
"DRAGON!" One of them shouted which alerted everyone else. The guards were about to fire when…
"HOLD YOUR FIRE!"
Everyone ceased their panicking and looked closer. To say they were shocked was an understatement. Toothless descended and Hiccup helped Agnarr off. His wife rushed over to assist.
"Agnarr, what happened?"
Agnarr then went on to explain everything. From how he got lost, chased, and injured, how the young man saved him (Hiccup asked for his identity to remain a secret), and finally, giving said man the title of dragon master AND dragon rider. After a cheer and round of applause for the young dragon rider, he then went back to his house thinking one thing.
"I can't wait to see what the future has in store."
And so ends Hiccup's first day as the Dragon Master of Arendelle.
And done!
Whew! This is my longest chapter yet. Sorry for the delay, but I kept getting distracted.
Heads-up, I will probably time skip to the year of Elsa's coronation in either the next chapter or the one after that. It depends on what I come up with.
As for Hiccup's appearance when disguising himself, it's just a black hood and scarf.
Also, as mentioned above, I don't really know if it's warbling or whatever when Toothless is trying to tell Hiccup something. If you guys know, please submit it in the reviews. I would really help.
Finally, I've already decided what dragons the main characters are going to have.
That's all, until next time.
See ya, probably wanna be ya!
