Kingdom of Berk.
A 5-year-old little Hiccup is in his room to sleep, when a huge man enters, as his name says, with a cape and a big beard, it is his father, Stoick "The Vast." " Haddock.
Hiccup: Dad, can you tell me another story?
Stoick: Sure, son, but then you're going to go to sleep... tell me which one would you like to hear?
Hiccup: THE ONE OF THE DRAGON KNIGHTS!
Stoick gave a light laugh because he knew well that this was his son's favorite story.
Stoick: Okay... A long, long time ago the kingdoms of the archipelago were living in peace, not only because of the remote times in which they lived, but because there were Dragons!... magnificent beasts that were good friends with us Berkians because although many do not believe it, dragons once existed here on Berk.
Hiccup: Did you live here before?
Stoick: Of course, there are hundreds of various species you could find here.
Hiccup: Even... the Night Fury?
Stoick: Ho ho... especially the Night Fury.
Hiccup: Wow...
Stoick: Yes Hiccup wow... however those times would end soon because a conflict came not only for Berk but for all the kingdoms of the Archipelago - Hiccup began to get scared - the kingdoms sent their bravest knights to face them, even the kings went to fight for the freedom of their kingdoms.
Hiccup: Men like you?
Stoick: Yes Hiccup, remember this: A king protects his own. Hiccup saw his father with admiration, wanting to be like him.
Hiccup: "I also want to be a brave knight for my kingdom," he said excitedly.
Stoick: I don't doubt that you would be, son, but perhaps a better role would suit you - Hiccup looked at them curious to know what they were referring to - A Dragon Rider.
Hiccup was fascinated by that title- In Dragon Rider?
Stoick: Yes son, you see during the fight, the dragons also got involved, wanting to help protect their homes they let experienced riders ride them and thus they joined the cause for those they loved and for their freedom as well.
Hiccup: Incredible...
Stoick: Yes, but the story does not end there, because at our time when the warriors and horsemen needed a change was when they appeared...
Hiccup: The Dragon Knights.
Stoick: That's right son, the Dragon Knights, knights with unique armor, 9 in total, accompanied by their leader and teacher, the Night Knight, an innate warrior and incredible swordsman, with his help and that of the other knights the kingdoms of the archipelago they achieved victory...
Hiccup: Incredible- Hiccup was fascinated because he was always excited that his father would tell him about said knights- Dad, what happened to the Dragon Knights later?
Stoick - sighs - Nobody knows, son, when the battle ended they disappeared, some say that once everything was over they disintegrated to continue with their lives, others say that they never existed as such and very few believe that they are still here, waiting for the throne of Berk and the Archipelago to need them again.
Hiccup: So they still exist?
Stoick: It's hard to know, son... but I think they did exist - he took a medallion that was on his neck - you see this - Hiccup nodded - This was given to the first King Haddock by the Dark Knight himself, he has passed from King a King in our family, one day he will be yours and you will give him to the next king.
Hiccup: I promise I will Dad.
Stoick: I know you will. Well, it's time for you to go to bed.
Hiccup: Ahh but dad, I'm not tired yet.
Stoick: I know, son, that's why I'm taking you and Gobber to the armory tomorrow. I want you to start learning what it's like to be a future king.
Hiccup: And why am I going to the armory?, Gobber will help?, will he teach Ne how to use the sword?
Stoick: haha, all those doubts will be resolved tomorrow, don't rush, well, rest.
Watching his father leave his room, Hiccup lay down with his gaze on the window where the starry sky was, longing for the next day.
