Chapter 1

This is Berk.

Its twelve days north of hopeless, and a few degrees south of freezing to death, located solidly on the meridian of misery. The Village in a word, sturdy. It´s been there for seven Generations, but every single building is new. We have fishing, hunting and charming views of the sunsets. The only Problems are the Pests you see most places have mice or mosquitos, but we have...

''Dragons'' Hicca breathe out after slamming the door shut before burning to death.

Most People would leave but not us, we are Viking we have stubbornness issues.

Hicca the village runt is a 14-year-old girl with long braided auburn hair that goes to her waist and beautiful forest green eyes. She wears a green long sleeve tunic with a fur vest, a skirt with brown leggings and fur Boots.

She runs out the House towards the forge. On the way towards the forge, other Vikings ask why she's outside and yells at her to go back inside. Ignoring them she keeps her head down and continues running until she bumps into a Viking and falls on her butt.

''AAARRRGG! Mornin'' he says and runs off with a battle cry.

Brushing herself off she starts running towards the forge again. She was almost there when suddenly a Hand grabbed the back of her fur vest and lifted her off the ground.

Holding her up in the air was Stoick the Vest, Chief of the Village.

''What is she doing out, what are you doing out here,'' he shouts into the battel.

''Get back inside!'' he yells at her after he lets her down and shoves her towards the forge.

In the forge, she grabs her apron and starts working. By cleaning up the workspace, opening the window for damaged weapon drop of, where weapons were immediately dropped of and managing the heated coal.

''Ah! How nice of you to join the Party. I Thought you'd been carried off.'' a man with artificial left Hand and a right peg leg said.

Gobber, my Mentor, and Godfather. The only Person how I'm not shy around and can even joke with.

''Who me? Nah I'm much too muscular for their taste,'' she says jokingly flexing her nonexciting muscles.

''They need toothpicks don't they.'' he said with a, yeah right' smile on his face.

Rolling her eyes Hicca goes to work hammering hot blades until a House nearby is set on fire.

You see old village lots and lots of new Houses.

Looking out the window I see the other village teen help putting the fire out. There are Fishlegs, Snotloud, the twins Ruffnut and Taffnut and the most handsome guy Ash. He has the most beautiful sky-blue eyes I have ever seen and has long blond Hair that rests over his shoulder in a braid. He is my secret Crush since we were small or in my case smaller, of course, I never really spoke to him as shy as I am to even look him straight in the face.

Leaning out the window to see better Gobber pulls her back inside.

''Oh no, you are not going out there.''

''Please let me help.''

''You can't pick up a Hammer, you can't swing an Axe, you can't even throw one of these,'' he says while holding up the bolas which a Viking grabbed and threw at a dragon.

''Your right, but this new invention of my can'' she proudly said tapping her hand on the contraption, that launched and hit a man unconscious.

''A little calibration issue,'' she said while checking the machine.

''Stop! Just stop, if you want to go out there you have to stop all of this,'' he says while gesturing with his hand at her.

''You just gestured to all of me?''

''Exactly stop beeing all of you,'' he says like its the easiest thing in the world.

''Sword, Sharpen, now,'' he said throwing a dull sword in her arms which almost made her collapse.

I start sharpening knowing that if I would say anything now it would go in one ear and out the other. I just want to be accepted and the only way is to kill a dragon, if I could kill a Nadder it would at least get me noticed, a Gronckel tuff if I could kill one I may even be asked out on a date, a Zippelback exotic two heads double the points, then there is the Monstrous Nightmare only the best Vikings go after them they have the nasty habit of setting themselves on fire. But the Grand Prize is the Dragon that nobody ever saw...

A high-pitched sound was heard and then a watchtower was on fire.

''NIGHT FURY!''a man shouted,

''Get down!'' another shouted.

A Night Fury, that thing never steals never shows itself and never misses its target. Nobody has ever killed a Night Fury that's why I'm going to be the first one. Then I get accepted and maybe overcome my dame shyness which doesn't let me speak up in front of other people, other than Gobber.

''Men..eh, Women the forge Hicca they need me out there'' Gobber said while changing his Hammer Hand into a Battle-axe and leaving the forge with a battle cry. After Gobber left Hicca grabs her launcher and starts running out the forge ignoring the shouting for her to go back inside.

Reaching a clearing she sets up her launcher and prays for something to shot at. She observes the night sky and saw stars disappearing and reappearing behind a shadow. Focusing she aims at the shadow of a Dragon. She shoots and sees the shadow falling towards Raven Point.

''I did it. I shoot a Night Fury!'' She shouts out jumping in excitement

''Did anybody see that'' she asks turning around only to hear her launcher getting smashed behind her. Turning again she sees a Nightmare with her launcher under his feet.

''Except for you'' she says sarcastically.

''AAAAAAAAHHHHHH...''she starts to run from the Dragon shooting fire at her screaming for dear life.

Hearing a very feminine scream Stoick turns around form the Nadders that they have just captured and sees Hicca beeing chased by a Nightmare. After seeing that he starts running towards them.

Hicca reaches a pole and takes cover from the fire behind it until the flames disappear. She turns to see if the Dragon has disappeared. Not seeing the dragon she starts to turn to check the other side, not being able to check because Stoick run past her slamming his Hammer in the face of the Nightmare how was at the other side of the pole.

Engaged in battle Stoick continues to slam his hammer in the face of the dragon. The Nightmare wanting to fire opens its mouth only to spit out hot spit.

'' You're all out'' Stoick says continuing to hit the Dragon until it flies off.

Stoick turned towards the Pole seeing that it was collapsing and rolling towards the harbor freeing the captured Nadders who grab some sheep and fly off.

Looking back to where the Pole was he sees Hicca standing there.

She turns and looks up to Stoick and then looks down at her feet.

''Sorry, Daddy'' she says in a barely audible voice.

Stoick grabs her arm and drags her towards the village center were most villagers begun to gather. Reaching the center Stoick let her go ''what did you think you were doing'' he asked her ''you could have died'' ''B-Bu-But'' she began but was cut off by Stoick ''Look what you have done'' he said while gesturing around the village. Hicca was shocked that her own father gave her the whole blame for the destruction of the village, true she had some fault of the destruction but giving her the whole blame, she could believe it. Deciding that she wouldn't tell her father about the Night Fury she shoots down but show him, later on, she keeps her head low and listened to his howl runt about why she always has to disobey orders and get herself in danger.

Stoick sighed '' Gobber bring her Home and make sure she stays there.'' he said to Gobber after his runt was over.

''I have her mess to clean up'' these words from Stoick brought tears to Hicca´s eyes, he said her mess, not this mess no her mess he really gave her the whole blame.

As the tears started she lowered her head some more so they couldn't be seen. They started to walk towards the House passing the other Teens.

''Quite the performance'' Tuffnut said.

''I've never seen anyone mess up that badly'' Snotloud added Laughing with the twins.

Hicca just kept her head down and walked past them whit Gobber behind her.

In front of her house Gobber trys to cheer her up after noticing the teary face.

''Don´t take it to heart Hicca'' he said.

''He never listens'' Hicca said wiping her nose on her sleeve.

''Runs in the Family'' Gobber replied.

''And when he does its always whit this disappointed scowl like someone skimped the meat of his Sandwich like he wished I was someone else'' she said not hearing Gobbers remark.

''Now you're thinking about this all wrong. It's not how you are, it's how you behave that he can't stand'' Gobber said.

''Wow thank you for summing that up'' Hicca said in a sarcastic voice.

'' Look, the point is, stop trying to be something you're not'' Gobber said.

''I just want to be accepted as one of you guys'' Hicca said stepping into the House and closing the door behind her not waiting for Gobbers response.

Hicca goes up to her room grabs her journal and storms of the back door towards the woods in search of the Night Fury.

Hicca closed her eyes and slowly opening them only to see noting. She marked the spot in her journal were a map was drawn. Getting frustrated she scribbles the whole map and closes her journal putting it away in her fur vest. After many hours of searching the sun was now high in the sky.

''Great. Some people lose a knife or a mug. No, not me I'm bound to lose an entire Dragon.'' Hicca rants to herself slapping a branch on a tree in her frustration. What she didn't expect is that the branch would snap back and hit her in the face. She looked at the branch angry that it snapped back until she looked at the whole tree. It had fallen but why then she looked at the ground there were big grinding tracks. Hicca slowly followed them up to a boulder, peeking over it she immediately got down behind the boulder again.

The dragon I found it.

She grabbed her dagger that she always carries with her and breathed out and slowly made her way towards the dragon holding her dagger in front of her. As she made her way around the boulder she saw the dragon bound by the boules she shot at it. Seeing that she smiled to herself.

''I did it! Yes, this fixes everything. I brought down this mighty beast.'' she said placing her foot on top of it until it gave a growl and moved a little. She stumbled back against the boulder holding her dagger in front of her again and moving towards it again. She looked from its tail to his wings and then looked at its face and was meet with toxic green eyes. That's the moment her life started to change.

She looked into the Dragons eyes and couldn't bring herself to look away. It looked so helpless, so vulnerable and so scared and from what, her. She just couldn't believe a mighty Night Fury the offspring of lightning and death was scared of her the village runt, the most useless Viking of all. Then the Night Fury laid down its head as if accepting its fade. Hicca wanted to cry, what she saw was unbelievable.

She saw herself.

''I did this.'' She said with sadness in her voice. She glanced over the dragon again, this beautiful creature as black as the night sky, bound by her bolas. She then looked around and then to the dagger in her Hand. Deciding she got on her knee and started to cut the ropes holding the dragon in place. The Dragon opened its eyes at the sound of the ropes being cut a loosening around him. He jumped up and pinned Hicca to the ground with his paw. Looking in her face for what felt like hours. He threw his head up and begun to open his mouth.

That's it I'm going to die.

Hicca closed her eyes waiting for the flames but only heard a deafening scream in her ears. The Dagon screamed into her face and then took off. Hicca held her hand over her heart and watched as the Dragon retreated into the woods stumbling into boulders and trees on the way.

Hicca grabbed her dagger and slowly got up wanting to go back to the village. She took two steps when her legs gave out under her and she fell to the ground unconscious.

''One last search before the Ice sets in.'' Stoick said stabbing a dagger in a Map were the Dragon Nest should be. He looked around the great hall were the other Vikings were whispering to one another.

''But these Ships never come back.'' a man from the crowd shouted.

''We are Vikings it's an occupation hazard,'' Stoick said to the crowd. Seeing the unsure faces, he spoke again.

''Okay, those who do not come along are looking after Hicca.'' He said and immediately all Hands were up accompanied by shouts.

''Let´s get this monsters'' shouted amen.

''Let us drive them away once and for all'' shouted a woman.

''I'm with you Chief,'' said Spitloud, Snotloud´s father and Hicca´s uncle from her deceased mother's side.

After the Vikings slowly begun to leave the great hall Stoick walked over to Gobber how was drinking from his mug prosthesis.

''I pack my undies,'' Gobber said wiping his mouth with his hand and starting to get up.

''No, I need you to train new recruits'' Stoick said sitting down.

''Oh, great idea and while I´m busy with training Hicca has the whole forge to herself, sharp swords, hot flames and a lot of time to herself, what could go wrong,'' Gobber said to his life old friend.

Stoick sighed ''What am I going to do with her'' He said not knowing what to do.

''Put her in Dragon training'' Gobber advises his friend.

''I'm serious'' Stoick said not believing what he had just suggested.

''So am I'' Gobber said making his Point.

''Gobber you know how she is she gets killed the moment you let the first Dragon out'' Stoick said.

''You don't know that'' Gobber replied.

''No, I actually know that'' Stoick said.

''No, you don't'' Gobber said again.

''Look, Stoick, you can´t stop her you can only prepare her'' Gobber added.

''I'm not letting her near any dragon!'' Stoick said stubbornly.

Gobber sighed knowing that when he's this stubborn he won't change his answer suggested something different.

''Than at let her watch the trainees so she at least knows what to do if she ever encountered one her one'' Gobber said.

Stoick just nodded his head knowing his friend was right. He got up to leave the Great Hall and make the Preparations for the search of the Dragon Nest.

Hicca woke up in the woods after the sky darkened and hurried home hopping that she arrives before her father is home.

As she arrived on the front door of her home and she slowly opened the door seeing her father inside with his back to the front door, she began making her way to the stairs that lead up to her room making as little noise as she possible.

''Hicca'' On the second step of the stairs, her father addressed her.

''Yes, Daddy'' she answered looking down. Her father made his way towards her and lifted her head up with his finger under her chin, so she was looking into his face.

''I'm going to search for the Nest and you are going to watch the Dragon training'' he said letting her chin go. She keeps her eyes on the face of her father, concern in her eyes. She knows not many ships come back from a search for the nest, but she also knows her father and how strong he was. Still, she couldn't help but worry about him her only remaining family member.

''Ok, but please be careful Daddy'' she said. Stoick threw his bag over his shoulder and put on his helmet.

''Of course, now watch carefully and learn from Dragon training. I will be back, maybe'' he said walking out the front door.

''And I be here, probably'' she said as the door closed, leaving her alone at home.

After Stoick left Hicca made her way to her room and changed into her nightgown. She then began to stretch, something she does every night and every morning to stay flexible. Hicca may not be the strongest or biggest Viking but she was the most flexible. She sat on the floor her legs together and straight out in front of her. She then laid with her stomach on her thighs and her hands grabbing her feet. Next, she opened her legs to her sides and leaned on her right leg with her left hand grabbing her right foot and doing the same in the other direction. After that, she stood up and grabbed her Hands behind her back one from above and one from below and again doing the same in the other direction as well. Afterward, she grabbed her right foot behind her back and pulled it all the way up to her head so she stood on only one leg balancing herself and repeating the same with her left foot. Last but not least she laid on her stomach, her hands on the floor and arms straight out but her thighs still on the floor, thereafter holding that pose for a few seconds she put her feet on the floor and raised her behind up that her legs were also straight out so she looked like a triangle. Finishing her stretching routine Hicca got up and went to bed, immediately falling asleep after the whole day's events.
