I know, I know. I currently keep bombarding you with new stories. It's just that all those reviews on my other stories really motivate me to write, be it a new chapter for an existing fanfiction or even a new story.

I found this one about a year ago, it being abandoned by the author. But I liked the idea so much, I translated it to german and continued it for the whole first movie. And now that so many on twitter asked about my fanfictions I translated it back to english to reupload it again. This story is really one of a kind as I have never found another "watching the movie" fanfiction which had only one character in the audience. I really hope you like this.

Enjoy!

Chapter 1

It's been a few weeks since the war. Hiccup was slowly adapting to his role as chief, with the help of Toothless, Astrid, Gobber, Spitelout and of course me.

I had a hard time getting used to my old viking life. I had a little heart attack every morning waking to a wooden ceiling above me instead of a rocky one. The wooden was way to unconfortable for my taste; I longed to sleep in the warmth of Cloudjumper's wings again. He didn't like Berk's stables and prefered the woods instead. I couldn't blame him for it.

But Berk clearly had its flair. I tought the younger kids about dragons, told stories of my adventures. I tended injured dragons, visited the forge to look after Gobber. After my daily routine of helping the village I went on night flights with Hiccup. Yes, Hiccup was the best. I was able to forget about every stress when I saw my son. I still didn't really get a hold of him being with me. He had grown so much, looked so much like his dad. HE was always on the lead, respected and cared for others. He made such good decisions. He was patient with everyone, even though his task was hard. He never complained, didn't moan, and did everything he could. An excellent Chief. And his bond with dragons, especially Toothless was astonishing. They were so much in harmony, exactly like brothers. I even dare to say their bond was stronger than Cloudjumper's and mine. I never suspected my son – the runt I thought was too weak – to become such a man.

And because of this I asked myself: What had he been like when he was younger? When Berk was still killing dragons? How did he really lost his leg? How had he met Toothless? I did never have the time to ask, everything seemed blurry. And now I didn't dare to ask. This story would obviously have something to do with Stoick and I didn't want to open these wounds again. Maybe I could ask him after a few months, when everything had settled down again.

Turned out I didn't need to. The truth came to me on its own. After an exausting night, after I had seperated two fighting dragons, I had a dream.

"This is Berk."

I heard Hiccup's even voice in my ears, as the dark isle of Berk appeared in front of my eyes.

Okay, so this is the first chapter, the movie itself starts in the next one. I thank you in advance for any reviews.

See you next time!
