Hi! Thanks for clicking my story xD

This story began when I was wondering what would happen if Hiccup just snapped, With everyone bullying him and insulting him and his Father's disapproval of his failures. How would whole movie change just because of this? I then needed a big impact for Hiccup that would underestimate everyone.

I thought of making him more superior in combating but I thought if Stoick wanted Hiccup to be a strong Viking and independent in fighting. Why isn't he? Like if he was giving it all for Hiccup in the movie. He would be probably big as Snotlout or Fishlegs and was trained like Astrid. He was chief after all. He could like do a lot of stuff so I guess Hiccup wasn't really good for a reason and that's because he was born to be clumsy and incapable in fighting also inherited his mother's body and if I did made him more vikingly, He would probably succeeded in killing Toothless and it would lose the whole point of the story.

The title is based on the same name by Ed Sheeran. It might give you clues on what might happen so You better hear it ;)

Summary:

Hiccup's life was miserable as hell, everyone keeps on calling him 'Useless' and his father seems to agree but It all changed when Hiccup locked himself in his house and a Monstrous Nightmare crashed his house and started to burn down everything. In his surprise, He was still alive but what surprise him most was that his body was on fire. He soon learns that he has a gift of fire.

UPDATE: It's now beta'd by toothlessgolfer. :)

Also I obviously don't own "How to train a dragon" the movie franchise and the book series

Prologue
True flames were made

Valka, wife of Stoick the Vast, stood on the blazing island of Berk. At the moment she was too stunned to do anything as she hopelessly watched the war and violence between the Vikings and dragons. Houses were being burned down by dragons while Vikings brandished their well-made weapons at the fire-breathing beasts. Sooner or later, both sides would be losing lives.

As the wife of the chieftain, all she wanted was peace and a safe environment for the future of her tribe and especially her son Hiccup. Everyone hoped he would become a great successor to his father. She had prayed to the gods that he would take after his father because if he takes after her, oh how everyone would be shocked.

She was different from other Vikings. In fact, she felt as if she wasn't even considered to be one. She was tired of fighting, wars, blood, and weapons. She didn't even have the normal body structure of a Viking woman; she was slim and thin. Some members of the tribe wondered why Stoick even married her. She was too innocent and too kind to be a model Viking.

She was incredibly useless during the frequent dragon raids, but she wouldn't standby in the background while lives were at stake.
She had recently come up with a solution for this never-ending war, but she knew that it would be a very unpopular solution. She thought that if the Vikings stopped attacking and tried to tame these beasts it would end this ancient feud.

But no, they didn't even consider her idea. The war council practically shouted at her for her foolishness and they said that they thought it was the most ridiculous and childish thing ever. Worst though, even her husband agreed with them. Oh, how shamed she had been by those reactions. After that incident she kept trying to find a way to stop this nonsense which she thought would be the end of both sides.

As soon as her mind was about start thinking of ideas she was disturbed by the roar of a Monstrous Nightmare about to fall to the ground because it was caught in a trap. She was then pushed aside by a Viking warrior.

"Valka! You shouldn't be standing in the middle of the battlefield!" He shouted at her as he came closer to the trapped dragon. He lifted his axe to behead the dragon but her instinct tingled and she stopped him before it happened.

"STOP! You're only making it worse" she said as she blocked his way to the dragon. She heard him growl in annoyance at her as he left. He knew that if he ever lay a finger on her, he would be sought out by Stoick the Vast.

She lifted the net to release the dragon and the Monstrous Nightmare sprang up and flew to the sky without even looking back at her. She sighed and looked around but just then she noticed the torso of a dragon entering her house. Oh, Hiccup!

She quickly rushed to the house without calling for any help, not even Stoick. She reached the broken entrance and slipped inside. She grabbed the sword which was hanging on the wall in case of emergency.

As she was rushing in to protect her baby, she saw the most extraordinary thing. Hiccup was unharmed by the dragon but what shocked her the most was that he had embers of fire dancing and sparking in his fingers as the dragon stared at it admiringly. The dragon started to dangle his claw in front of Hiccup who giggled in response. It had somehow heard her and accidentally scratched Hiccup's face as it turned to face her.

Valka was soon stopped by the dragon's intelligent and gentle gaze as it looked deeply in her eyes. This wasn't vicious beast! This proved her belief that there could be peace! Why couldn't the other Vikings see this side of a dragon? Their moment was soon destroyed by the sound of Stoick's battle cry as he came in. In response, the dragon made to defend itself and showered him with his flames causing the entire house to catch on fire. Luckily, Stoick had a shield to protect himself.

It was almost too much for her mind to handle: she just saw her son playing with fire, a dragon whose behavior was proof that the rest of the Vikings were wrong to think dragons are monsters, and now Stoick came on to the scene to fight the same dragon.

"Valka! Get out of the house!" Stoick shouted as he held his shield. Smoke was blocking his sight and he couldn't see either Valka or Hiccup. He was only told by Gobber that Valka and Hiccup were trapped inside the burning house.

"NO!"} Valka shouted to the dragon as she came back to her senses and grabbed at its body making it turn to face her again. Just then the dragon looked innocent of any wrongdoing to her.

Stoick, who heard Valka's shout, was about to follow the sound but he had finally found the cradle where Hiccup was crying.

"Hold on!" Stoick yelled as he carried Hiccup out of the house. She glanced to see them gone and safe.

She turned to face the dragon who looked up in the sky in distress. She looked up to see the dragons leaving in a rush of defeat.

The next thing she knew was that she was up in the sky being carried off by the same dragon who broke into her house and seemingly awakened Hiccup's power. She was too lost to form a proper reaction. Was she wrong all this time? This dragon was just too cunning for her. She was fooled to believe that dragon are harmless because look at her now! She was about to die, probably by being eaten by the dragons.

Meanwhile, on the ground Stoick had given Hiccup to Gobber who couldn't see the particular house as smokes spread all over. Stoick rushed quickly to save his wife; he had to find his way back to the house through the smoke and fires. He was already panicking because he almost lost Hiccup and he doesn't want lose Valka as well but her fate became clear to him when he heard the sound of the house crashing.

CRASH!

"Valka!" Valka heard Stoick shout frantically. She looked down to see her husband facing their burning house. He probably thought that she got trapped by the fire and was killed by the weight of the house or by the dragon.

"Stoick!" she cried but she was too late; her abductor's flying speed was too fast and she was too far away for him to hear her call. This was probably her last time to see her home, Berk. How would the war continue to ravage her beautiful home? How many more people will die in future dragon raids. Who would solve this problem?

What would happen to Hiccup? Her son would be growing up without her. She wouldn't see him being crowned chief or get married. She wouldn't see her grandchildren. And there was also his power of fire which let him touch fire without being burned. How did he do that? Was he magical perhaps? How would the tribe react to his powers? He could be accused of witchcraft and he could be exiled or, worse, killed. She prayed to the gods that they will watch over him.

And there is Stoick, her husband. How would he take care of their son? He could hardly lay him down asleep without waking him up. How would Stoick react to Hiccup's power? Hiccup's powers could cause a fire in his sleep and Stoick, being the chief, would have to do something after discovering it. He'll have to decide between his son and his tribe.

This all happened because she was too weak to kill a dragon. Because she was too stubborn and prideful to accept that dragons are indeed monsters.

And so, Valka was carried off into the unknown and was unable to do nothing but wonder about her family's future.

So that's the Prologue. I hope you like it, Sorry if there are some errors. I still haven't found a beta. If anyone of you can suggest someone. Please inform me xD :)

The Title of the prologue talks about the first sign of the power Hiccup had showed.
