This is my first attempt at writing fanfiction I believe this one will be better than the other two.

I recently watched all of the episodes of Dragons : Riders Of Berk and their just as brilliant as the film, so I decided to write something related to what I've seen.

I don't own anything from HTTYD just a big fan :)

Beyond The Shores Of Berk

Chapter 1

"I need to get out there bud."

Hiccup had just come in after a long day at the dragon academy, it was the usual twins fighting, Snotlout boasting, Fishlegs lecturing day it was become quite repetitive to Hiccup, yes he had a dragon and yes he had more freedom flying Toothless everywhere, Hiccup had no limits to his life since befriending Toothless, most vikings saw dragons as pets and work tools, Hiccup saw Toothless as a trusted and dear friend someone he would always be there for, but recently his time was too occupied with work at the forge and work at the academy he hadn't enough time to even fly Toothless, he felt lost and he needed help.

"I've been on Berk too long Toothless."

Toothless just tilted his head as his way of saying "I don't understand, please explain."

"I can never find the time to do the things I love, riding around with you and finding out about the new dragon species we have discovered and as far as I know theres more out there and I need to see them, research them and understand them better as creatures of beauty, the only dragons I've ever known of are the Gronkle, Nadder, Zippleback, Nightmare, Terror, my fathers Thunderdrum, Night Fury and the Urgh… Red Death."

Even though the battle with the Red Death was long over he still felt unnerved by how he was almost killed by the colossal creature and that made him think as well as other dragons who was to say there wasn't another dragon just like the red death out there.

"Thats it bud I need to go out there to other parts of the world to seek out and research dragons and spread dragon awareness."

Just as he said that he sat down at his desk and looked through his old sketches and drawings of dragons and inventions he noticed the drawing of Toothless he did when he fist saw him in the cove before he broke down the wall of fighting and turmoil between viking and dragon, that was his destiny and he always felt a feeling of purity reminiscing that moment between him and his bestfriend.

The next day Hiccup walked into the dragon academy he had asked Stoic and Gobber to the arena as well as the other viking teens to break the news to them, he was slightly worried considering Stoic asked a lot from his son and him leaving wouldn't exactly get a standard reaction but he worked up his strength and announced…..

"Im leaving Berk to further my knowledge in dragons."

Everyone was shocked, they stood confused, Hiccup wanted to leave? Why? Where would he go?

"But Hiccup you cant leave." Protested Stoic. "You're a hero of the village besides you need to learn how to be chief when you take over."

"Don't worry dad I promise I'll return I just don't know when it could take me years to expand my research and discover new dragons but I have to do this, Its what I've wanted since meeting Toothless."

Fishlegs then went up to Hiccup and said " But Hiccup who's gonna look after all the dragons and run the dragon academy? Snotlout cant do it."

"Hey!" Cried Snotlout. " I am just as good as you at this dragon academy thing."

"Actually Fishlegs, I was kind of hoping you can take over from me, you have more knowledge about dragons than anyone else I know and you will make a fine teacher but I need to follow my dreams and my dreams are not here in Berk."

After getting a hug from Fishlegs, Hiccup walked up to Snotlout.

"I know how you and I didn't exactly agree on everything, but I want you to know if for any reason I decide not to come back you can be chief instead of me."

"But Hiccup, I…. I…." but Snotlout couldn't finish except he just hugged Hiccup he knew he'd miss him.

And then Hiccup turned to Ruffnut and Tuffnut.

"You two are two of a kind but It was fun knowing you be sure to take care of your Zippleback."

"Don't worry Hiccup" Ruffnut said. "I know what Im doing better than Tuffnut."

Her comment was followed by a shove from Tuffnut and him saying "Il take care of it better, for I am the worlds deadliest weapon."

As the twins started fighting Hiccup then turned over to Gobber and Stoic.

"Hiccup promise me if ye ever come across something gold can ye bring it back to me so I can examine it at the forge."

"Of course Gobber, If I find some gold I will bring it back, and dad when I know I'm ready I'll come back to berk."

"I know you will son."

Stoic and Gobber each gave Hiccup a hug before Hiccup finally turned to Astrid.

"I'll miss you most of all Astrid I know you and Fishlegs will be great dragon trainers."

"Just promise me you"ll be back at some point or else…"

"I know that threat, don't worry I'll return probably when I find Gobbers gold."

With all of his farewells completed he jumped on Toothless, took one last look at Berk and shot off into the sky, it was already afternoon by the time Hiccup had made good distance between themselves and Berk but there course was certain because what he hadn't told the others was that Hiccup wasn't going on this adventure by himself he needed some help from a certain special friend of his who lived with the bog burglar tribe…..

Please let me know what you think, Reviews, comments, tips on how to improve all are welcome I'll write chapter 2 soon :)
