Chapter 1
This is Berk.
It's twelve days north of hopeless and a few degrees south of freezing to death. It's located solidly on the meridian of misery.
My name's Hiccup. It's been five years since I destroyed the Green Death with the help of my best friend Toothless. Since then, Berk and dragons have made a lifestyle together that is beyond anything that I could've imagined. But I never imagined that meeting just one person, after a normal day, could explode into something that would change my life forever.
Whoosh!
Toothless soared across the ocean, water droplets hammering into his face. Thunderdrums seemed to gallop in the waves in front of them. Toothless and his rider flew playfully between their wings and the ocean, content when they soared to the sky.
The clouds raced past them; it felt as if they weren't moving, just that the wind was pushing the clouds past them. Toothless twirled until he was upside down. He then twirled upward, then freefalling. He let out a delighted cry and smiled. He flipped and banked more, until Hiccup said from his back, "What do you think bud? You want to give this a shot?"
Not again! Toothless moaned.
"Toothless! It'll be fine!" Cranks sounded as Hiccup's foot set the appropriate settings. Hiccup took a deep breath. "Ready?"
Toothless roared, secretly thinking, Don't die, crazy boy.
Hiccup slid off of Toothless's back. He screamed. "Yeah!"
Toothless followed him, ready to catch his best friend if anything went wrong. They fell, side by side.
"Yeah!" Hiccup cheered. Toothless, thrilled, smiled back, his tongue catching the wind.
The ocean came in view. Hiccup pulled a string on his new vest. Hiccup vanished from Toothless's sight, but when Toothless leveled out, there was Hiccup. He was excitedly screaming, ecstatic that his new flight suit was working. The leather wings spread from his suit and to his arms, which were stretched out almost straight. Hiccup quickly pulled another string, and a Night Fury's fin snapped open on his back.
"This is amazing!" Hiccup screamed. He looked back to his friend, who smiled, flying straight because of the setting he had set earlier.
Hiccup laughed, glazing the clouds as they flew across the sky.
He never wanted it to end, but it had to. Toothless flew under him, expecting a response. Hiccup folded in the suit and the tail fin, landed, found his foot's position, and was once again in perfect harmony with Toothless. Berk was in sight. From above the mountain, Hiccup could see the giant red banner suspended on the Great Hall's door.
Hiccup beamed. The Dragon Games were a favorite of everyone now. All dragons and all Vikings were welcome to compete.
Hiccup, new flight suit coating him, landed in the Plaza, dismounting Toothless in the same motion. He raced into the smithy while Toothless curled up outside and closed his eyes. Hiccup didn't take off the helmet as he began forging a new gizmo. He was going to upgrade Toothless's tail so that he didn't wobble so much when flying on his own; he had noticed that Toothless's flying was a little shaky.
"Hey stranger," a voice chimed behind him.
Hiccup didn't look up from his work. "Hey, Astrid."
"Where are you underneath that?"
"I'm here."
Astrid took off the helmet. Hiccup's shaggy red-brown hair fell with a swish. His green eyes pierced his work as if the glare alone could finish the job. His jaw line tensed as he secretly bit his tongue, thinking. His freckles were barely noticeable and little drops of sweat fell from his chin and bangs. Astrid knew it now; her man had passed through puberty.
"Can you talk to me for three seconds?" Astrid asked.
Hiccup smirked and left the tail alone. "Sorry."
Astrid laid the helmet down and kissed him for a quick moment. "How did the test flight go?"
Hiccup's eyes lit up immediately. "It was beyond words! Oh wow! Flying beside Toothless! Oh, wow! Astrid, you've got to try it!"
"Make me a flight suit, I just might."
Hiccup nodded. "I'll do that right now!"
"Wait, wait, Hiccup!" Astrid snatched his shoulders and stared into his eyes.
Hiccup stared back. When did they become such a magnificent blue? Astrid's eyes, he meant. Her side braid delicately lay on her shoulder. She had on her white fur vest, preparing for the cold winter that was threatening appearance. She was still taller than him, but only by just a bit. She was smiling at him. He crookedly smiled back, and prayed that he didn't look stupid.
Astrid let go of his shoulders. "So, do you want to go out flying again? Without the flight suits?"
Hiccup shrugged and grimaced. "I really think you should try the flight suit. I'll make you one right now!"
"Astrid!" a hoarse voice demanded.
"Ruffnut?" Astrid exclaimed and whirled around. Her hair was different. Her three braids were pulled back, held together by a leather strap. The three braids swished beneath the strap when she walked. Her helmet hid the top of her head.
"Hiccup, I need to borrow her." Ruffnut grabbed Astrid's shoulder and dragged her out of the forge without getting Hiccup's or Astrid's permission.
"What is it?" Astrid demanded as Ruffnut dragged her away.
"Come on. Inside the stable. That stupid brother of mine has ears that no one knows about."
"What is it?" Astrid growled when they were in the hay loft.
"You've got to help me get that nerd away from me!"
"Who?"
"Hiccup," Ruffnut growled. Then she shouted, "Who do you think? Fishlegs!"
Astrid giggled. "What's wrong?"
"The nerd keeps following me around! He gave a daisy to me yesterday and he had this stupid grin on his face! It's creepy! He's such an idiot!"
"Have you ever considered that he likes you?"
"Why do you think that I don't want him following me around?" Ruffnut shouted.
Astrid kept smiling. "Maybe this is a good thing."
Ruffnut stared blankly at her. "How?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's just good!"
Ruffnut's mouth was a thin line stretched across her face. She glared at her friend, her eyelids half-closed. "If he tries to hold my hand I'm whacking your head off."
Astrid smiled. "Whatever."
Hiccup walked into his home. He wanted to head straight to his room, but a harsh, "Hiccup!" froze him in his tracks.
"Yeah Dad?" Hiccup cringed. His dad looked angry. His eyes were thin slits.
"Where were you this afternoon?"
"Out flying with Tooth…argh!" Hiccup smacked his head. "Oh! Right! The village meeting!"
"Hiccup, this childishness has to stop!"
"What childishness?" Hiccup snapped. "Look, I'm sorry I missed the meeting, but…"
"This isn't the first time, Hiccup!" Stoick shouted. "You still can't follow the simplest orders!"
"I just got excited with Toothless, Dad! I'm sorry!"
Stoick massaged his head, feeling his hair which was slowly whitening; it was the cause of, no doubt, the constant fathering he still needed to give his twenty year-old son. "This is the third time, son. It's not just the meetings, it's everything else you have to do! You're only responsible with the dragons, nothing else. I let it slide when you were fifteen, even sixteen, but this just isn't acceptable anymore!"
"I'm taking care of the dragons! They need someone to take care of…"
"Son! You can't do whatever you want when you're chief! You have responsibilities which I'm trying to show you!"
Hiccup breathed. "I'll go to the meeting tomorrow. I promise that I won't miss it."
Stoick too breathed. "Alright. But you better be there before I am."
Hiccup nodded, and left the house.
