A way out of darkness.
Chapter 1.
You're pov.
Walking through the forest is very relaxing, everything is so green and light this time at year. My bag full of herbs is bumping against my hip, as I walk towards what I've started to call `home´. Walking by the next group of trees, I see the cave, my home. Surrounded by dragons, as always, but why do one of them have a… saddle? I don't remember putting that on, or that dragon…. Just as I get it, I'm surrounded by six strangers.
Four days before: Hiccup pov.
Its bin 5 months since Drago Bludfist attacked, and my father Stoick the Vast died. Life has returned back to the peaceful days, with one exception, I'm the new chief. It's harder than I thought, but I somewhat enjoy it. The only thing is that I don't get to fly on toothless so much as before, and my map hasn't expanded. Of course I'm not going to stop, I just have to wait till there is less things to do around here, or I hope so…
"Hiccup" I turn around and see Astrid coming towards me, "yes" I say, looking at her with question in my eyes. She looks worried, there is something wrong. "Hiccup, this morning a ship from a faraway land came to Berk, and they wish to speak with you" her eyes was still looking worried. "About what, what's wrong Astrid"? Looking away, she says "you have to ask them, they won't explain it till you are there, come lets go together" okay, something was definitely not right here.
We walked to the great hall, Toothless running around behind us. Astrid let go of my hand and walked in through the doors first. I took a deep breath and walked inside, toothless right behind me. Inside stood a group of maybe, 15 huge, scary looking men, all draped in skin jackets, and not to forget, the impressive amounts of weapons they carried around. But even so they all backed away when they saw toothless, but that is understandable.
One of them stepped forward, their leader I suppose, starting to present himself. "I am Sir Vermundr Archibald member of the Ulfr tribe, we have come a long way to meet you." With everybody looking at me, I just remembered to present myself, I always forget this. "I am Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, Chief of the Hooligan tribe" the last part came out weird, I'm still not used to say that, luckily nobody seemed to notice.
"What have you come all this way for? I don't remember to have encountered your tribe before." He looked if I'd asked something very unpleasant, which didn't make sense. Looking down he said, "Sir Haddock" he stopped. Oh, no this wasn't good, "yes?" I asked. Still looking away he said, "You were the one who defeated Drago Bludvist, and his Dragon army." Well not alone, but how did he know that anyway? "And you're the only person we felt we could go to" why? "we have a huge problem," this isn't going in a good direction… He took a deep breath "you see before he lost, our former chief was Drago bludvist, but now we have a different problem, because- "He didn't get to say anymore, because every person in the room had drawn their weapons and pointed them at Vermundr and his group. Behind me Toothless started growling and showing his teeth's, that is never good. Just as I would say something, a voice from behind the big men yelled "WAIT". A small person, a little younger than me I think, pushed himself forward. "Please listen to us, we don't want to fight" They really didn't, they hadn't even drawn their many weapons. "Wait" everybody looked at me again," let's hear what they want to say".
"But Hiccup" Astrid yelled "we can't trust them, they attacked us remember"? Yeah, I remember, even if I don't want to. "Astrid I'm just saying that we should hear what they have to say, she looked at me, as if I were insane. "Okay?" I asked, "Okay." She said, but didn't put their weapon down, actually nobody in our tribe did. Still they stepped back, or at least a little. "Okay, let me hear what you have to say."
The boy took a deep breath, and looked me directly in the eyes. "I will start from the beginning: Many years ago before I was born, we had great problems with dragons. Drago came and took control over them, and then the village." I could imagine him doing that, "he did a lot of thing, like creating a dragon army. But before that, he got a wife at some point, she was very beautiful and liked by many people. She wasn't seen much after the marriage, and she died some year after, because of on illness." He stopped and I got the feeling that we hat got to the important part.
"Then some years ago, when he started to create the dragon army, he gathered the whole village and made a pronouncement… he was going to announce the person who was going to stand in for him, while him and his men were out collecting dragons. We thought it would be one of his most trusted men, but no…. it was his only child, his daughter.
Many hours later:
It finally ended, it had taken hours to calm everybody down, and come to an agreement. It was decided that I, Astrid, Snotlout, Fishleg, Ruffnut and Tuffnut were going with the Ulfr tribe to their land. It would take almost three days to get there by ship, but we couldn't take the dragons, when I didn't know the way. So we were going early tomorrow morning, and Snotloud was "tired just by the thought!" as he said. At least we have some time to make a plan to confront Drago's child, what was her name again? My thoughts are interrupted by toothless knocking me to the ground, starting liking me. "Arrhhh stop, stop, stop! I get it, I get it!" Great now I'm covered in dragon salvia, but I also want to fly. "Okay Bud, let's go flying" I climbed on, and we were off the ground a second later. Flying is the best thing Iknow, and now I remember her name, (y/n).
So I hope you liked it, please review if you want, that would make me very happy. I will try to upload the next chapter as soon as possible. See you next time. ^_^
