Chapter 1 prolog

7years earlier

Hiccup and Astrid were playing in her back yard they have lived next door for years. Astrid's mother and Hiccups mother have been friends since high school. Hiccup and Astrid were pretending that Astrid was a vicious Viking and that Hiccup was her chief husband. Then Astrid's mom came out telling the young Hiccup that he needed to go home it was very important . She had a sad look on her face as she told him and Hiccup began to worry.

As he walked home he couldn't help but think about his mom she had been very ill. She was on tore when it happened. She's a musician promoting her new piano album but wasn't feeling well half way through. She saw a doctor when she felt that it wasn't getting better. After a series of test they concluded that she had pancreatic cancer and had little time.

As Hiccup enters the door to his home his father Stoic had a sad expression on his face and said that they were going to the hospital to see his mom. Hiccup didn't know it but this would be the last time he saw his mother.

As he enters the room he saw that she was very pale and had a rasp in her voice when she said hello. ''Mommy are you going to be ok''? the young Hiccup asked. ''I will be going away for a while'' she replied as she attempted to sooth her son. ''I want you to know that I love you very very very much''.

She was starting to fade.

''Stoic''! she said ''take care of him''. I will Stoic replied. ''I love you'' she said. Those were her last words. Shortly after she said that she was gone. Just like that Hiccup lost his mother. As Hiccup began to under stand what his beloved mother was talking about. He broke down. He cried and cried begging her to come back. But alas she was gone.

At her funeral Hiccup saw Astrid she looked at him with a sad expression on her face. But then quickly looked away.

As the casket descended into the grave. He began to cry again.

As the days past Hiccup began feeling a little better and dared to play with his friend. As they were playing Snotlout,Tuffnut and Ruffnut and Fishlegs came around and joined them they all began to play. But Snotlout attacked Hiccup punching him causeing his nose to bleed. Every one laughed at him. Astrid looked away and told him quietly to go home. This was the last time he ever talked to them and this was the beginning of a legend.
