Current time...
Berk.
-Do not go...
-Catch him...
-Kill the traitor...
A young man was escaping from an angry mob determined to kill him because the act he had committed is considered high treason, he had fraternized with the enemy, and this young man was now running with his friend to flee with him and start a new life.
Hiccup narrates
Well, let's a recap...
This is Berk. It is twelve days north of Hopeless and a few degrees south of Freezing to Death. It is situated solidly on the Meridian of Misery. My people. In one word? Robust. It has been here for seven generations, but each building is new. We have fishing, hunting, and a lovely view of the sunsets. The only problems are the pests. You see, most places have mice or mosquitoes... We have... Dragons!
My current name is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, son of Stoick "The Vast" and the heir to the throne of Berk, but as if it were a joke from the gods I am the complete opposite of a Viking, I have been nicknamed "the talking fish". "and other nicknames that I have no interest in mentioning, well let's continue, at the age of 15 all young Vikings enter dragon slaying training, but I didn't want to, I couldn't, especially after meeting my best friend Thootless, a night fury or better known as "The evil offspring of lightning and death itself", thanks him I excelled in dragon training.
With that maybe and just maybe I can get closer to Astrid again, she was my best friend since I was 5 years old and I've been in love with her since I saw her for the first time, I don't know because I feel that there is something familiar with her as if we were connected, but after what happened with her uncle Finn she began to be more distant to start her training to be the best Viking on Berk, I just hope to be with her again.
Very well where I was going, ah yes... today that was the last training, Gothi would choose the chosen one to kill the monstrous nightmare, the finalists were Astrid and me, I hope he chooses Astrid because I couldn't do it... harm those incredible creatures, however, fate plays against me because it chose me, it was then that I decided to escape from Berk but not before freeing all the dragons from the arena, so I went there but I did not expect that they would have followed me because my father and the head of the village discovered me
Stoick: Son, but what are you doing?
Hiccup sighs as he sees how not only his father but the whole town sees what is happening- what is necessary...-having said that, he opens the cages, and the dragon's escape, everyone is surprised by this, especially 3 people, Stoick who Witnessing this he sees that he is a traitor, Snoutlout, Hiccup's cousin and the person who makes fun of him the most, in addition, that he wants to take away his heir title and then marry Astrid and Astrid herself was shocked by what happened. - I have seen what the dragons suffer for our actions and I will not allow this to continue like this.
Stoick-enraged- You dare to turn your back on your people for these demons that have killed hundreds of us??
Hiccup- interrupts- And we thousands of them and if he were to think about it his company is better than yours- in the end, he brings out a somewhat cynical smile to which the whole town is surprised because the "talking fish" they never know he has acted like that but then they snap out of their shock and look at him with hate except for Astrid.
Mildew an old man steps forward and takes advantage of
Mildew: He's a traitor. I say we hunt him down and kill him so we can get rid of him once and for all.
The vast majority supports it and Stoick, seeing this, continues with the following
Stoick: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III you are accused of high treason against the Viking culture and your punishment will be death you will not go to Valhalla and you will be condemned to go to Helheim... you chose your side with them... you are not a Viking You are not my son.
Hiccup was shocked by how his father expressed himself about him but decided to put it aside.
Hiccup: so be it
Villager: LET'S GO FOR HIM
Hiccup, seeing all those who followed that guy, Hiccup decided that it was not worth staying and so he run away.
Going back to the present time...
And you know what happened, at the moment I find myself running for my life, I just hope I get to the cove where Toothless lives, well I'm very close and... that I arrive well
Hiccup: Come on friend we have to leave quickly or else we will be doomed...
-I found it
Astrid narrates.
Well I couldn't believe what I just saw Hiccup rebelled against Berk, and in doing so he showed an attitude that nobody knew about, however, that attitude seemed very familiar to me but I never saw him even when we were very close, after seeing how his father authorized us to kill him seemed cruel to me, but Hiccup hardly seemed to care, now we were chasing him while we see him enter a cove.
Suddenly a large group of villagers cornered him where the boys from the arena are, Mildew and I among others.
Mildew: Very good useless prepare to die and look what a nice gift you brought us that dragon will look great hanging on my wall
Villager: Not if I take it first
Villager 2: Ha, you want the one to keep it, it's me
Seriously, I don't understand the desire to kill dragons, because believe it or not, I only entered training to show my honor and give my family pride that they lost after what happened with my uncle Finn, although that led me to get away from my only friend Hiccup, despite what he did, I don't understand what's wrong with it because these brutes don't understand the change that this could generate, but anyway, what can be expected from Vikings.
Hiccup: I won't let them get close to Toothless so if you want him come get him
He said it with a determination that I found incredible and at the same time attractive... Do you wait for what I said? there can't be these feelings for Hiccup they can't come to light, try to lock them in the depths of my being because they felt it was the right thing to do but every time they saw him it became very difficult and that's why I distanced myself more from him, so if you saw it or read it I've been in love with Hiccup for a long time. But now I am torn between what is my duty and what I want.
Mold: KILL IT
Suddenly I see how many villagers begin to attack Hiccup and he is facing them as he can, the Night Fury is also accompanying him, I notice that they are fighting somewhat coordinated, and everyone is finding it difficult although nobody expected that the talking fish would be That skillful since the Vikings would not give up and kept attacking him, Hiccup soon did not realize that more and more Berkians were coming to the cove to kill him, now the next one who tries to attack him is Snotlout who seems to have an advantage. above him, suddenly for an instant without anyone knowing it we exchanged glances which distract him and Snotlout takes the opportunity to subdue him, capturing the attention of the night fury who tries to go save Hiccup but the villagers throw chains at him and catch him.
...
Snotlout: Haha too easy now I can claim the position that should always be mine and then marry Astrid.
Astrid: Snotlout, shut up, that will never happen- she gets dangerously close to him.
Snotlout: My love we are destined to be together you just don't see it yet but don't worry when you're mine you'll know- he looks at her pervertedly.
Disgusted, Astrid thinks of responding with the same answer "That will never happen even if I'm reborn thousands of times, damn son of a troll" but I don't expect a laugh from a subdued Hiccup:
Snotlout: And what the hell is wrong with you, useless fish, what are you laughing at?
Hiccup: How idiotic you look thinking that Astrid, a valkyrie fallen from the sky, would notice you- He kept laughing while Snoutlout became more and more furious because, even though he did not understand his cousin's new behavior, he was willing to silence him.
Snotlout: Shut up for once useless, this is already getting me sick.
Mildew intervenes to say- Well then put us out of the misery of having to endure it, after all, no one will miss him- passes him an ax- cut off his head
The villagers surrounding the scene clamor for Snotlout to do such an act.
Only Astrid, who doesn't agree with this, tries to avoid it.
Astrid: Snotlout, stop, you don't see what you're going to do.
Snoutlout: Sure I know, I'm going to get rid of this aberration of the gods.
When Astrid heard that, anger took over her, sending her sense of responsibility to hell and to the point of lashing out at Snotlout.
Astrid: What did you dare to say??!!! Go repeat it to me if you dare- Astrid's look was always scary to the point of making the strongest warrior tremble.
Snotlout who, despite being under the effect of Astrid's gaze, held his ground as best he could.
Snoutlout: That it is an aberration, an evil that has to die, and I, as a servant of the gods, will put an end to it.
Astrid: Then you're crazy if you think I'll let you- Astrid pounced on him to prevent him from hurting Hiccup because she couldn't see how her people and Hiccup's father didn't oppose this.
Mildew reacts quickly and grabs Astrid by the hair and submits her to the ground
Mildew: You're not going anywhere bitch, what are you waiting for boy, finish off the scum already- Snoutlout nods and Mildew whispers in Astrid's ear- After he dies it will be easy to get rid of Stoick and the idiot of the new heir, and you will become yourself in my slave to create my offspring, so if you can please me- Mildew tries to take advantage of Astrid and she begins to scream with fury but no one pays attention to her, they are more attentive in kill Hiccup, however, Hiccup's attention is diverted from a moment to when she hears her scream and when she sees the situation well, anger and hatred take over him
Hiccup: No, don't you dare, old man, you'll pay for it- suddenly a pain invades his head and a series of images appears
A bloody battle scene of warriors fighting powerful forces, an explosion, and from it emerges a silhouette.
???: Is that all they have?? go!!!
???2: Attack!!!- a brilliant being orders a huge group to advance and fight against that dark being they seek to defeat.
???: This will be fun- he starts attacking the warriors left and right, injuring some, killing others, then he sees the leader and goes to him, a close combat starts, the leader's force is relentless and he starts to overcome the other, he believes that he is defeating him, but he was wrong to underestimate him because in an unexpected and creative move he manages to deconcentrate him and then attack him and thus subdue him.
???: To be someone very strong this must be very humiliating Kratos.
Kratos begins to see him upset because he fell defeated like many others.
???: However it is curious to see you here, if you dared to confront me it is to delay me, the serious question is why?
Kratos begins to smile because although he discovered his assigned trap, he managed to distract him and therefore managed to attack him from behind.
The stranger unexpectedly gets trapped in a bunch of networks that he can't destroy but knows who it belongs to.
???: So now I'm a hunting animal, do you want to improve yourself or not Artemis- says mockingly-
Artemisa, making an appearance, signals him for later:
Artemis: This isn't even something you deserve, prepare to die-points a bow and arrow at him.
???: That remains to be seen- he begins to invoke a dark force that turns into a red aura just as his eyes change color.
Hiccup comes to see everything around him once more, Snoutlout subduing him, Berk demanding his blood, Toothless trapped and worried about him, and Mildew with Astrid trying to take advantage of her, everything kept spinning in his head, Snoutlout, Berk, Toothless, Mildew, Astrid, but he only noticed Mildew and Astrid... Astrid... Mildew... subduing her... trying to possess her... and now there was only one sentence in his mind...
Kill them all!!!
The situation was tense, he felt in the abyss from which if he agreed to enter he would not come out, but the next thing he saw was not expected by him or anyone, because a deaf thump made some look to where they found Mildew with an Astrid now unconscious, Hiccup was motionless, not believing, not tolerating it, he decided if others dared to be cruel beings, he would become someone much worse... and there he felt it, a call from within for him to surrender to the darkness and so without thinking twice he surrendered...
To be continued...
