Chapter 2: The drunk fighting festival
As we skim above the wide ocean, We come across a huge island that has mountains and fields with fresh grass covering it. And as you see closer you would notice the buildings, structures of houses, fields, barns, and many others. Of all these houses thats scattered There is but one House that stands out from the rest. A house that is a mixture of old and new woods and a greyish green paint making it gloomy like the rest of the houses beneath it. That is the Chief's house, A house specifically made on the tallest area so the Chief can look over His/Her lands which he/she Governs and protect. It is also the House of the current Chief's son, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock The Third...
Gobber The Belch, Blacksmith of berk slowly made his way up till he reached the house.
*knock knock*
"Hiccup! It's time 'ta go! Yer father is Waiting for ya' at the port!"
"Be right there Gobber!"
Hiccup was putting on his clothes while grumbling about the special event today. You see the annual 'Thing' always happen on the island in the center of the archipelago, where a neutral island is found. But, apparently some wild dragons wreaked havoc at the island making it unrepairable for about two to three months. With no island to uphold the drunk fighting festival (Hiccup's preferable name for the 'Thing'), they decided to uphold it in the island of a tribe that has no grudge (or has the least grudge.) against all other tribes/clans. And seeing as Berk does not have much 'history' in the other tribes they decided to held it in berk.
Gobber got tired of waiting and decided to knock again when Hiccup suddenly opened the door and waved a 'Hi' in a very sarcastic way…
"ya' know Hiccup ye should think about' this in a positive way."
"And what positive way would that be gobber?"
"Well, fer' one thin', you can make more friends from other tribes!"
" yeeaahh, because i already have so much friends here…"
Gobber sighed at the sarcastic remark of his apprentice… He then pat his back and said-
"look hiccup, I know the kids here don't like you very much but thas' cause you were busy making those inventions of yours!"
"that didn't make feel good at all gobber."
"hehe, then find a 'Friend' that can give you a greater pep talk other than me."
"sometimes I just think that you're doing that on purpose."
Gobber snickered while Hiccup smiled, He always liked this conversations he always had with Gobber. Granted that he isn't the best at pep talk, but it still made him feel better cause He know that he said those for 'Hiccup', not for 'Hiccup the Useless'… Also, hiccup thinks He's rubbing him off because his beginning to be better at sarcasm. Not that he minds though, it just made him a bit closer to him more for he is the only person on the island that gets Hiccups sarcasm and snarky comments…
They were nearing the pier, as they walked a few more steps they can already see the silhouette of a big man, Stoick, the chief of berk, and father of hiccup…
"Oh! Hiccup! What took you so long?"
Stoick said with a booming voice, Hiccup and Gobber quickened their pace and finally stood beside Stoick…
"sorry dad, I was soooo excited about this that I didn't slept much."
Stoick, not catching his son's sarcasm, said-
"ah… Good, then you will be pleased to know that the 'Thing' will be held for a Whole month!"
Hiccup just gave his father a look portraying 'are you serious dad?' and sighed… The longest time 'The Thing' was held was up to three and a half months… you wouldn't wanna know what happened in peace island after that…
Well, at least the 'Thing' today will only last a month so it would only be at best painful memories, not worst…
It's already been half an hour when they waited there, still no sign of any ships. Stoick is still patiently looking out while Gobber kept singing, though for some reason, the song that Gobbers singing reminds Hiccup of... something. Yet he cant put a finger on it. He decided to ask gobber about that sometime…
'hrm!"
"Hmm? You okay son?"
"I may need to uhh… pee. I'll be back in a bit dad."
"Oh, okay then, don't take too long. I think they should be here, soon..."
"Okay dad, I'll be quick don't worry."
