Okay so this is my first story ever. Just some disclaimers. English is not my first Language. Altough i use it in my everyday life, i am still German and can make mystakes. If any spelling or grammer mistakes can be found in the story, please mention them in a review. Secondly, I am no professional and have no experience in writing. I do have most of the major events already planned, but i still take Ideas for minor plot points or side character OCs. I will be uploading a new Chapter every Saturday. The Story will involve Violence, deaths, slavery/torture and sexual themes.

Chapter 1

„Night Fury! Get Down! "Gobber shouts hearing the infamous screech of the offspring of Lightning and death itself.

Toothless jumps over the crowd and blasts a hole in the Chains hovering above the arena crating a big smoke cloud in the arena.

Hiccup feels the weight of the Monstrous Nightmare lifting of his body and quickly stands up to analyze the situation. As the smoke lifts itself he can see Toothless Battling with the Nightmare and putting himself between the boy and the Dragon.

After a few attempts of getting past the Night Fury the, the Nightmare backs of towards the newly added hole in the enclosure and flies away.

Most Viking don't even acknowledge the Nightmare flying away and look at the most dangerous dragon known to them enclosing the scrawny heir of their tribe in an almost defensive Position.

"Hiccup. Get away from that beast!" Stoick shouts, catching the attention of most people who have just been staring at the Dragon.

"No." Hiccup shouts back much to the surprise of everyone "That's what I've been telling you. Dragon are intelligent and gentle creatures. We don't have to fight them!" He exclaims and shocks everyone again by climbing onto the dragon.

"I said get away from there." Stoic shouts back still angry at what his own said about the beasts that have been raiding their village for centuries.

"No!" Hiccup said again this time mora angry at his father for again not listening to what he has to say. "He has treated me way better than this whole village has. Even better than my own father." He said anger slowly turning into sadness. "I am not leaving him for you to slaughter."

"HICCUP" Stoick shouts even louder than before "You've thrown you lot in with them, you're not a Viking." Stoick said his voice getting a bit quieter, but still loud enough for everyone to hear him.

"I never was a Viking in your eyes." His son shouted back.

"You're not my son."

These words brought almost everything to a halt.

Hiccup looks around the arena seeing the faces of the people who ridiculed him, shamed him, looking in either shock, anger, disbelief or confusion. After a time, Hiccups glare turns to Astrid and turns into a forced smile after mumbling a silent "I'm sorry, but I have to."

He signals for Toothless to leave and quickly the Night Fury blasts a second hole in the Chains and storms in the air. Hiccup looks back a last time and a single tear slides down his face before he storms of over the horizon.

Meanwhile on Berk

Everyone was shocked. Either from the connection they saw between a Person and a dragon or from the chief disowning his only son.

After a few silent and long minutes some people starting going to their houses and continuing their daily routine. Astrid wasn't one of these people. When the first people started leaving, she also went, but not to her house, but into the forest. Once she was in the forest Astrid started sprinting towards a very familiar place. Once at the cove she waited for a few minutes before the realization kicked in. He really left. He left his tribe, his home, his own family. He left her alone with the knowledge about what dragons really are. Once everything was sinking in, she fell to her knees and started crying. The Astrid Hofferson was crying, over the scrawny village screw-up.

…

The sun is slowly setting and a few cold breezes brush against the face of auburn-haired boy and his dragon.

"Let's land here, bud." Hiccup say pointing to a small Island under them and Toothless quickly dips down and opens his wings just before the ground.

Quickly after landing Hiccup collected some firewood and together with toothless was able to catch some fish.

"What should I do?" Hiccup asked to his friend "I can't go back, but I also can't live alone my whole life and just stay here in the wild." He continued. Toothless just looked up from his pile of fish and crooned probably meaning something like 'you aren't alone. I'm always with you. We'll find a way.'

"Yeah yeah. Let's just rest. Tomorrow is gonna be a long day." Hiccup said and leaned against his Dragon to have a pillow for sleeping.

Meanwhile on Berk

Astrid woke up in the middle of the cove. Apparently, she fell asleep after her breakdown. The sun was already sinking over the horizon so it was probably already time for supper. She went back to the village and wiped her tear stains away.

When she arrives, most people are already in the Great Hall for Supper.

"Hey Astrid." She hears from a corner from the room where the teens usually eat together. As she looks, she sees Ruffnut waving her over. Astrid picks up a tablet with some Mutton and goes over to her friends.

Before she could even sit down Snotlout began his daily flirting "Hey Astrid. Wanna come over to my- ". He didn't get farther in his sentence as he received an elbow from Astrid.

"Where've you been this entire day?" Ruffnut wonders

"Just training." Astrid replies quickly trying not to be suspicious

"Makes sense. Now that Hiccup is gone, you'll probably be the one to kill your first dragon. Although we don't have a Nightmare anymore." Fishlegs swipes in.

At the mention of his name Astrid instantly gets a bit quieter "Yeah right." She said her mind constantly swiping back to the Night, Hiccup kidnapped her and showed her the world with Dragon.

"Anyways I got to go now. I want to get a good night's sleep." She mumbled just wanting to get out and think for a bit.

On her way back home, Astrid tries to distract her with having the honor of killing her first dragon and becoming one of the Vikings, but she constantly trails back to the true nature of dragons and the boy who showed her all that.

"What is wrong with me? He betrayed our tribe and left on the back of our enemies. Why can't I be mad at him? I couldn't- "

"You couldn't what" she heard her father ask from behind her

"Oh nothing. Just thinking about something" She replied embarrassed at what she would have said if he didn't interrupt.

"Anyway. I can't believe we came this close to catching a Night Fury" Birger said

'Hiccups best and only friend' Astrid added in her Mind.

"What is that kid thinking befriending the most dangerous dragon of all."

'Toothless isn't that dangerous once he likes you.'

"That traitor didn't deserve to be our heir."

'And he never wanted to be.'

"He probably died out there eaten by that Dragon of his."

'The one that tried to protect him from you?'

The whole conversation went like this Astrid always thinking of a way to turn her dad's Arguments against him.

Birger finally dropped the topic of Hiccup, Astrid innerly thanking him, because she was about to snap at hearing him be insulted or belittled one more time.

After a short talk in which Astrid didn't pay attention at all they reach the Hofferson house.

"Night dad" Strid replies storming to her room. She seriously did not need to continue speaking to him right now. Not in her state of mind.

After the last ray of light pierced berk and everyone is sleeping Astrid gets up and packs her bags. She quickly gathers some clothes, her axe, blankets and some food. When everything is put in a bag Astrid sneaks out of her window without alarming any of her parents. On her way she grabs a few fish at the fisher's hut and storms off to the arena. Once she's at the Arena she puts her Axe away grabs the fish and open the gate of the Nadder's cage. The Nadder is sleeping but awakes at hearing the mechanism of the doors.

"Hey Girl" Astrid said thinking in her Head 'How did Hiccup do this?'. She held out her fish and slowly backed away "I know we didn't have the best of relationships and I'm very sorry. But I need your help now."

The Nadder looked very confused and didn't know what to do but she reluctantly accepted the fish without attacking the teenager.

"Ok step one complete. Now for step two" Astrid whispered to herself asking herself if this is really a good plan. Hesitantly she holds out her hand and looks away showing the dragon she means no harm and trusting her.

The Dragon looks even more confused and sniffed the hand before slowly putting her head against it and accepting the pact.

Feeling the scales on her hand Astrid opens her eyes and looks back at the dragon who gets even closer and offers her beak for Astrid to scratch. "Okay now we just need to find a boy with the fastest dragon known to men" she told herself before going to the weapon rack and pulling out a rope.

As the dragon sees the rope it understands Astrid's intention and lowers her head for her to attach the rope.

"Okay you have to help me find a friend of mine and a Night Fury." The Dragon nodded while Astrid attached her basket. "If we travel together, I should give you a name. It'll be better than just calling you dragon or girl." The Dragon nodded again. "How about Stormfly. I think it fits you." A third nod came from the Dragon.

"The Stormfly lets go" Astrid said getting on her newly named dragon and flying off towards the direction Hiccup flew.
