This is my first fic so it probably wont be that good, also not sure how the update schedule will be, right now im driving to a cristmas party in toronto so i have a bit over four hours to work and than another four on the way back.
This is a runaway fic, im trying to make it as unique as possible but there are a couple elements that are in almost all runaway fics that will be included.
Now into the story
"i hit it, i actually hit it, it went down just over raven point, lets get a search party out there befo-"
"hiccup enough"
his father was fuming, not only did he nearly get killed but he led a monsterous nightmare rampaging through the town destroying everything in its way.
"Gobber bring him back to my house." said stoic "we don't need him causing anymore trouble"
Gobber put his hand on the boys shoulder
"get a move on kiddo" he said gently pushing the boy forward
hiccup couldn't tell if he was actually upset or just faking it to aoid any issues with his father, he could feel the eyes of most of the village, including his peers staring at the back of his head.
when he finally got back to his house Gobber clapped him on the back.
"it's ok lad, y'ell get yur chance, im goin ta see if i can get yur father to let ya into dragon training"
hiccup was silent, still angry at his father for not having any faith in him. Gobbers words finally sank in.
"thanks Gobber"
"don't mention it lad, and ya might want to stay away from your father for the rest of the night"and with that his mentor left, the door swung closed and clicked into it's latch.
hiccup didn't feel like talking to his father again that night so he decided to head up to his room for the night...
hiccup woke to shouting
"well that's always a good sign" hiccup muttered to himself
"Hiccup!" his father shouted "get down here"
even if he was in the mood to argue with his father it wasn't worth it, hiccup shambled down the stairs.
"what is it dad?"
"Gobber has convinced me that with a bit of training you're going to become a fine Viking warrior"
"wait, really?" hiccup was shocked "i thought you said i wasn't ready for dragon training"
"well Gobber made some pretty good points, training starts tomorrow morning, be ready"
stoic put his hands on his sons shoulders. "make me proud"
"i will, dad"
"I've got some chiefing to do, you might want to go see Gobber to get yourself situated with a weapon"
his father then proceeded to grab his war hammer and head outside.
hiccup gulped down his breakfast and started to plan out his day in his notebook. So far he had to get a weapon for dragon training, then he would probably have to figure out how to swing it without killing himself, and he also had to search for that dragon that he downed.
he had a busy day ahead on him, first he was off to the forge to get a weapon from Gobber, and to thank him.
Hiccup was so pumped that he ran the whole way there, or... ran to the best of his abilities, to be honest it was more of a jog.
hiccup came in to see Gobber toss a newly sharpened sword onto a pile of other new swords, axes, and whatnot.
"hey Gobber"
Gobber turned around, his face covered in sweat and soot
"oh hey iccup, you comin to help out today?" Gobber asked hopefully
"oh" hiccup felt a bit bad for not having time to help Gobber "actually I came to get a weapon for dragon training"
"oh yea, i forgot that yur dad agreed to let you into dragon trainin" Gobber went over to a different table to grab something "I actually made you a special sword last night, here" Gobber handed him the weapon
he practiced swinging it through the air a couple times, mock disarming and blocking opponents, its blade caught the sun shining through the window and reflected into his eyes, Gobber had to block the sword from hitting him with the hammer attached where his left had used to be.
"whoa there lad, might wanna learn how to swing that thing a little bit further away from people ya dont want killed"
"sorry, i really should have waited a second there"
"ah it's fine lad" gobber chuckled "i took out one of my fathers teeth when he first gave me a hammer"
"so how did get my dad to agree to letting you train me?"
"well i told him the usual stuff about learning how to take care of your self, and being more helpful in the village"
"wait, thats it?" he agreed to that?"
"well not exactly..." gobbers smile faltered "you see, your fathers leading another search for the nest before the frost sets in, and he might ave needed someone to make sure you dident get into any trouble while he was gone"
"oh, that sounds more like him" hiccup shouldn't have been suprised, that was exactly the type of thing his father would do.
"wow, you really did go all out on this thing didn't you" hiccup said clearly trying to change the subject. gobber went along with it.
"yea, i didn't think a axe or hammer would suit you, and you probably couldn't handle a full sword properly, it's meant to be kinda a cross between a dagger and a sword. i wanted to make sure that it was light enough for you to i made the blade super thin and just a teensly bit curved, that way you can deflect attacks instead of fully blocking them"
"this is so cool, thanks"
"yea yea i know, now don't go gettin sentimental on me, you gotta get out there and learn how to swing that thing by tomorow"
i know its not a lot but this is my first time publishing so please go easy on me, im .trying to male each chapter longer than the last
(still trying to get my grammar and formatting right, so sorry about that)
