Chapter 1

The boy didn't know what was happening. He didn't know he was there, and then suddenly he was. It was too dark to see anything, but his instincts told him to walk forwards. So he did.

Eventually, he could see. The moon shone brightly down on him and reflected on his emerald eyes and auburn-brown hair. He wondered how he couldn't have seen it before as he was walking towards it. He looked behind him. There was a heap of dirt that seemed to have gotten there during a landslide, but he didn't think much of it.

The moon beams around him lifted him up into the air. They were cool, but not so much it was uncomfortable. The boy looked below him. He seemed to be on a small island, covered mostly with forest. What he could see of it anyway.

He thought he might have seen light coming from the other side of the island, but he couldn't tell because the moon drew his attention back to it. Hiccup, it whispered to him, in a gentle voice, Your name is Hiccup.

Hiccup smiled. He could tell that was true. It felt very natural to be called that. The moon gently placed him back on the ground. He looked down at himself. He was wearing a green tunic, brown leggings, and had furry boots. Well, boot. It seemed that part of his leg was missing and replaced by a prosthetic. How did I get that?, he wondered, but none of the answers presented themselves.

Behind him, the pile of dirt shuddered. He spun around to face it, but Hiccup didn't know how he might have defended himself if it had been anything dangerous. There was nothing near him, except maybe some rocks.

From the dirt pile, a huge animal crawled forward. It looked a bit like a lizard, except it was the color of ebony and had humongous wings. Hiccup backed up. That thing was huge, and there was no way he could fight it. He was definitely too small and skinny for that.

The creature turned to look at him. In the moon's light, Hiccup could see the creature's face. Its mouth was huge. But its eyes were even bigger. They were an intense green. But the strangest thing was its expression. It was one of pure elation.

The creature jumped up, and spread its wings. Hiccup took another step back, his fear now clearly showing on his face. It took a step back and looked at him with a mixture of sadness and confusion on its face. It took a step forward. Hiccup took a step back.

Suddenly, flashes of memories flew before his eyes. Him and the dragon in a cove, him flying on the dragon. Hiccup looked back on the dragon with a smile. "Toothless." He said, smiling at the dragon, "Toothless the dragon."

Toothless leapt in joy again. He nudged Hiccup's hand with his nose, and he gently placed his hand on his head.

Hiccup felt really happy all of a sudden. He felt like he had found part of him again. "Want to go flying, Bud?" Toothless looked up at him, and he looked elated again. He shook his tail back and forth. "I guess that's a yes then." Hiccup laughed.

The two went to look for a better place to take off from. The trees were too big and the branches were too thick. There was only a small hole in the canopy, but it was too small for Toothless. They thought they might have found one, when Hiccup didn't look where he was going and walked into a tree.

"Good job Hiccup." He murmured to himself as he rubbed his head. He looked at Toothless, but the dragon wasn't looking at him. It was looking at the tree he ran into. Or, more specifically, the leaves.

They had turned orange. The color that you only get in the fall. Hiccup was shocked. He looked back at Toothless who looked at him with confusion and concern. He walked over to Hiccup to see if he was alright. He let out a concerned coo.

"Don't worry, Bud. I'm okay." As he said the words, Hiccup's voice was barely a whisper. It was clear he didn't believe himself. He slowly walked toward another tree.

He cautiously tapped it with his finger.

The color started from the middle. It then it slowly spread out from around the start. The color this time was a purplish-red and it made Hiccup laugh. That was amazing! If he could do that, what else could he do?

He closed his eyes and focused. He could feel the nature around him, but nothing entirely special, other than the trees and some bushes, which were calling out for his attention. He focused on something else. Something stronger.

When Hiccup opened his eyes, he was shocked. All around him, rocks were floating in the air. He reached out and touched one, sure he was hallucinating, but his fingers locked on to it perfectly fine.

He glanced at Toothless. He was mesmerized by the rocks. Then he reached out to poke one. It moved a little in the air, and Toothless poked it with his claw again. Hiccup laughed. Toothless then, without looking, smacked him with his tail fin.

"Hey," Hiccup said jokingly. But behind him, a different voice laughed. A deeper one. Toothless quickly ran in front of Hiccup and growled. All the pebbles fell to the ground.

"Don't worry little brother, it's just me." A tall, male figure stepped out of the shadows. His eyes were glowing a fierce gold color. "I've been looking for you."

Hiccup couldn't speak. He didn't remember a brother. Well, he actually didn't remember anything other than Toothless, but he definitely didn't remember a brother.

The man continued talking. "I honestly thought you'd been kidnapped by the Guardians." The man smirked. "But, here you are!" He stepped into the moonlight. He wore a long black robe that looked like it had been made of sand. His hair was black, and his skin was ashen and gray. He then looked confused, "Why is Toothless growling at me? I know he doesn't like me very much, but he doesn't growl. Usually."

Hiccup found his voice again. "I don't know you." He barely whispered it, but the man heard him. The man took another step forwards toward him. Toothless growled louder. The man looked upset.

"Hiccup, stop joking. This isn't funny." Hiccup swallowed. "What happened?" The man kept taking steps towards him, even though Toothless was now reared up on his hind legs with his wings spread out in front of Hiccup. He could barely see the man anymore.

"The moon," Hiccup pointed upwards as he said it, though he wasn't sure the man could see him with Toothless in the way. "It told me my name was Hiccup and that Toothless was my dragon. I don't remember anything else." By this time, Hiccup's voice was barely a squeak. But the man understood him. He turned to the moon and shouted at it.

"Really Manny? You know you can't keep him from me!" He turned back to Hiccup. "You are my little brother, after all." He poked his head around from the side of Toothless's wing and Hiccup could see he was smirking.

Hiccup whispered to Toothless "I don't think he'll hurt us, Bud."

"Oh, I won't. I promise." Toothless lowered his wings slowly, still not fully trusting the man. He just smiled and walked toward Hiccup.

"Since you can't remember anything, I'll have to help you catch up. My name is Pitch Black, the nightmare king, and I'm your older brother." Hiccup wasn't sure if that was true, but since he was the only person who seemed to have answers, he would trust him. For now at least. Hiccup gave a cautious smile. "Okay."

Pitch looked pleased. He smiled back at Hiccup. "The people I mentioned earlier, the Guardians, are my enemies. I don't know what happened to you exactly, but my guess is they had something to do with it." While he talked, he smirked at the moon. "I'm just glad I found you!" When he looked back at Hiccup, his eyes seemed to glow a little brighter, but Hiccup didn't think anything about it.

What Pitch was saying made sense to him. It wasn't Pitch's fault that he couldn't remember him, it was the Moon's! Hiccup would have been angry, but right now he was just happy that he was okay.

Toothless seemed to have started to realize it too, because he stopped growling at Pitch and nudged Hiccup's shoulder. "We should leave." Hiccup wanted to leave and get away from the moon. It was looking down at him, staring at him. And he absolutely hated it. Pitch was happy that he wanted to leave too.

Hiccup, the moon talked to him again but harsher this time, Hiccup, don't go with Pitch. He's tricking you. You're smarter than this, Hiccup! He's hypnotizing you!

Hiccup was angry and shouted at the moon. "No, he isn't! You can't tell me what to do!" Both Pitch and Toothless looked at him. He had been so angry the rocks had started to levitate around him. Toothless looked concerned and cooed at him. Pitch walked over and put his hand on Hiccup's shoulder. He smiled at the younger boy. "Let's go home, alright, little brother?"

Pitch was ecstatic, to say the least. The boy, Hiccup, was gullible. And the best part? It was Manny's fault that Pitch was able to trick him! Since he didn't have his memories, he was much easier to hypnotize.

The boy's dragon was harder to convince. The dragon still had memories, but it was still an animal. No matter how fearsome. It had been easy to twist his memories a bit.

Pitch remembered the Fates' warning. Keep him away from the guardian's. But that was simple enough.

Because now Pitch had a tool to bring down the guardian's. And he wasn't about to let it go so easily.
