Chapter 23: left! (took me long enough, am i right?!)
*image above is mine*
5 KS?! WHAT?! OH MY GOD! *Hyperventilates* you are all incredible!
Hiccup's POV
We fly silently for a few minuets, the wind blowing slightly. I'm silent, but inside? It's a cyclone.
FOR THORS SAKE! How could he disown me like that?! He didn't even stop to listen to me. All he's ever thought of is the nest. Not his son. IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT THE STUPID NEST AND HIS OVERRATED VILLAGE. HE SAYS THAT A CHIEF PROTECTS HIS OWN, BUT WHAT ABOUT HIS OWN SON?!
A tear slips out of my eye, I raise a sleeve to wipe it away.
Gods, at least I have Toothless. I know that without him I'd be still stuck on that island, and without Toothless I'm nothing. I'm just.... useless. Toothless opened up a new world for me, and I'm forever grateful for that. My...Stoick may as well get eaten by the Queen for all I care.
"I'm glad I have you, bud!" I say honestly, stroking his scaly head. He looks back at me and grins, rolling out his tongue. I chuckle lightly, cheering up a bit.
"It's just you and I for now on, Bud!" I say as we fly away from Berk.
"............just you and I..." I mumble, a few more tears falling down my cheeks.
I can't just sit here and dwell on it all! There's nothing I can do about it! It's not my fault berk are all stubborn idiots.
Okay I really need to change subject, to move on.
Onto the other problem. The queen. The Red Death. Toothless and I need to figure out a way to bring her down. Before the dragons are forced to do more horrible, horrible things.
Wait.....that's it!
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()() Okay......so......from here on I had an entire different current of events... but I decided it was just too boring so I changed it..... that's why I had to do some tweaking before I could release this book (I had a few chapters planned at this was one of them. I wanted to make sure any chapters before it matches the plot, but ya know) !()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
"Hey, Toothless." He looks back at me in curiosity.
"I think I have an idea to take down the Red Death......but you might not like it." he gives me a look that practically screams "Tell me..."
"Okay. H-Here me out, though. But I think we should live near the Red Death's nest and join in on the raids.....maybe try and protect those we can. I know, I know, i-its crazy. But we could figure out a way to take her down from being closer to her but not in her control, ya know, try and find out some secrets? So what do you say?" I blurt out nervously.
He looks forward then back at me. After a second he nods and I smile.
"I'm glad I can count on you, bud. Take us there!" I say and he breaks left. I hang on tightly to the saddle as he flies fast, enjoying the air as a distraction from my thoughts.
+++
After a few minuets I pull back on the saddle. Toothless throws his wings back and turns to look at me, confused, as he hovers in place.
"I, Uh, packed a fishing net, so why don't we try and catch a fish or two?" I suggest and take out the net. "We can take our time. We're not in a hurry." He flies down towards the water surface and flies just above the surface, gliding calmly across the ocean.
I wait until I see a few fish get close to the surface before throwing the net in. I pull it out to see it's an Icelandic cod. I use my dagger to end the fish's life's and put them, wrapped in the net, into the basket.
We continue on like this for a little while, before moving on.
Astrid's POV.
It's been an hour since Hiccup...flew away on his DRAGON... and the chief has just called a meeting in the Great Hall, for the whole village. So I make my way up the stairs, passing the chiefs house along the way.
His old home.
I let out a soft sigh as I push open the giant doors of the hall, slipping in silently through the gap it creates.
I immediately note the amount of people standing in this room at once. There's a lot of Vikings here. I look around and spot my parents so I go and stand near the front with them, nodding a greeting to those around me.
A few more people enter the hall, before the meeting begins.
"Okay. So, as you know we are...*clears throat* in need of...a new heir. So, to keep the ruling in blood I'm going to have to elect Snotlout Jorgensen as the heir to the thrown of Berk." Stoick announces from on top of a table a little reluctantly as we stand in the great hall. Snotlout gets up on the table and starts waving his arms, grinning obnoxiously. Some people cheer. More than a few don't.
What? No! If he's the heir, Berk will be doomed! And he'll have more of a chance to boss us around. What if he demands for me to marry him?! I simply cannot and will not be here if he's going to be chief! I will leave.
"Eh, out with the old and in with the new, aye Stoick!"
"No, you simpleton! He'll run us into the ground!"
"Good point....never mind my previous statement. We're all doomed with him as chief! Anyone wanna help me dig some graves?"
"This is outrageous!"
"Something must be done!"
(The two most common lines in crowds in the spinoffs, am I right?!😂)
"Ugh, why him?!"
"who cares?!"
"Oh-ho-ho-ho! He's a Viking, alright!"
"Oh well. So what now?"
Oh, this is bad. So, so bad. He WILL run us to the ground! I share a horrified look with Fishlegs and even the twins look unhappy! I may as well dig a grave right now!
"I feel like I'm gonna throw up in my mouth!" I mutter, disgusted. Fishlegs nods, agreeing with me.
I really didn't think this through! I mean, I should of seen this coming. But nope, of course not.
"*ahem* Anyway. I want preparations done to all ships and I need them to be sail worthy in two months. I need supplies ready because we're sure for another raid in maybe two weeks. In the raids Astrid Hofferson will be joining the fighters as she did the best in Dragon Training. Fishlegs Ingerman will be helping the Thorston twins put out any fires that spread and Snotlout will be with me: He needs to know what life as a chief will be like! I need Gunnar Ulgurson to help Sven, mulch and bucket secure their farms, and the barn needs to be rebuilt. I need the catapults in working order, and the boulders stocked up."
Hmm, fighter. Not too bad! Yes, I can defiantly handle that. Well.....I wonder if that Night Fury Hiccup has is the only one. Maybe a different one will attack.....maybe it is the only one. Either way, I better not have my guard down.
"I'm going to train!" I mumble to my father, who's next to me, he nods, and I leave the great hall, breathing out a sigh of relief as soon as the cool air hits me, as appose to all the body heat in the hall.
I don't think I could of stayed in there a second longer.
I sling my axe over my shoulder as I walk through the forest and find a good patch of tree's.
+++—-time skip-–+++
I HATE THIS. I barrel role and throw my axe at a tree. I run over pull it off. I twist and throw.... Grab, twist and throw....grab, roll and throw.....grab, Barrel role, toss... grab, Throw. Etc.
WHY
*THWACK*
DOES
*THWACK*
THIS
*CRACK*
MESS
*THWACK*
ME
*TWACK, CRACK*
UP?!
-----------++++--------
After at least two hours of full on, non stop, training I decide to stop and head back to the village.
"Hey Astrid your looking amazing today and, now that I'm heir and all...what do you say we take a little walk, hmm?" Snotlout flirts, running up to me. He was just bullying a little boy by holding his toy stuffed yak above his head, just out of reach.
Disgraceful.
"Never." I say, snatching the toy he still holds, and throwing it to the little boy, who grabs it and runs off.
"Aww, come on, please!" He pouts.
"No. Ask me again and I'll castrate you before I shove it—"
"Hey! Have you guys heard?" Ruff says as she and her brother come over. Fishlegs is also with them, looking a little worried.
"Heard what?" I answer with a question.
"Well obviously you haven't, since you just said that, but anyway....So we were stuffing our faces in the great hall, but Fishlegs wasn't, he was reading the Book Of Dragons for the billionth time...anyway, we were doing that, when we over heard Stoick talking to some people and guess what he said, guess!" Tuff says. I give him a blank stare and place a hand on my hip.
"Well, usually I would tell you guys something good, ya know something juicy, but I..don't think this is so good. And I don't think a lot, I gave it up a long time ago. Never been happier. So, Stoick said that he wants to burn all of Hiccups stuff, and move Snotlout into Hiccup's old room! BAM!" Tuff goes on to say. My blank stare shifts to a surprised and worried one.
"Wait, what?! He can't do that! Surely he wouldn't.... " I say.
Why would you burn his stuff?! I mean, you could give it away, or leave it there. But why burn it?!
"Yeah, this is terrible!" Snotlout says and we all look at him, shocked. Why would you care Snotlout. I narrow my eyes. If I recall correctly, you always bullied Hiccup. But I was no better. I never stood up for him, only glared at him like he was direr under my boot.
"Well, I don't want to have to move in with my Uncle! I'd rather have my own hut!" Snotlout explains. I roll my eyes.
Figures.
"I just can't get over the fact that Hiccup and you are...w-were...cousins." I mumble. Snotlout shrugs, not fazed.
"Yeah, and Stoick snores!" Tuff says. "I can see why you wouldn't wanna share with him."
"How would you know that?" I exclaim, turning to give look a crept out look at Tuffnut.
Oh, on second thought, Maybe I DON'T want to know.
"Well, picture last years Loki Day. So, in the middle of the night, we were sitting up on the roof of the Haddock Household, ya know, ready to prank Hiccup when he wakes up, because he's the only person who really appreciates our pranks, so he always gets the pleasure of the first one, he's even helped us plan the pranks we've done on you before. Anyway, And we herd this really weird rumbling noise. So at first we thought it was Loki laughing with us, then I thought he was laughing at us, then I thought it was Ruffnut but after like maybe five minutes we realised it was Stoick. And he was snoring." Tuff explains making dramatic gestures with his hands.
"Okay, One you guys are creepy, two why didn't you just wait until maybe sunrise then prank him, and three you guys are creepy!" I say.
They shrug. "Don't question our ways!" Ruff yells.
"On Loki Day you go big or you go home!" Tuff yells. They high five.
I roll my eyes. "Maybe we should sneak in there and grab what we can. One day, if he comes back, we can give to him what we saved. " Fishlegs suggests.
"That's actually not a bad idea!" I exclaim.
It could be some sort of peace offering!
"Lets go!" I add and we hurry towards the chiefs house.
+++
Ruff keeps watch as we all grab something. We had all climbed through the window.
Fishlegs grabs a bunch of Hiccup's journals. I know Hiccup liked to draw. Tuff grabs a helmet, It looks like Stoick's, from under the bed. Snotlout begrudgingly grabs a knife from the desk. Ruff comes over and grabs a blanket. I look under the bed to see a box. I reach in and pull it out. I open it to see paper, charcoal, a painting, a stuffed toy dragon and a spy glass.
The painting is of Stoick, a maybe three year old Hiccup, and a beautiful lady with Hiccups eyes. Hiccup's mother. This must be important to him.
I close the lid and hold the box to me. I nod to the others as a signal to go. They leave before me and I pause to grab a green tunic. I put it in the box and climb out.
"Lets go!" I announce and we split up, going our own ways.
I get home and luckily no ones there, so I don't have to answer questions. I slide the box under my bed but not before taking out the shirt. I sniff it, I'm not weird, and put it under my pillow.

Thanks for reading! This one was about two thousand words :)
Sorry it's kinda boring.
So, in this fanfic Valka does die, instead of living life up with the Alpha and not coming back, but Cloudjumper was a dragon of the Red Deaths, instead of the Bewilderbeast. Cause this Fanfic is about Hiccup and Toothless (mostly) and how Hiccup is the first Viking to train a dragon etc.
Now lemme tell you something:
Cloudjumper snapped out of the trance just when he was about to drop Valka in. Oh no! He got caught in the queens snare again! He looked down at her in panic and began to fly out. She looked up at him, her tear stained face shocked. She was right? But Cloudjumper...he was too late. The queen rose up with a roar and closed her mouth around them. Valka forgave Cloudjumper, the moment before she uh....was ya know, killed. They died together.
There is my mini and slightly sad story, just an explanation.
So, as I have said before, I am up to answering questions the best I can. (Unless it gives away the story😂) I DO believe in stupid questions, but also stupid answers😂 so if you ask me a stupid question you'll get a stupid answer😂
there is nothing wrong with asking questions.
So if you ask something like "Who is Toothless" i might answer with "Pickles" or "Nah!" Or even "Lice." Depends if I'm in a stupid mood really😂😂😂😂
Okay, bye, i don't know if anyone really reads Authors Notes, so I'll stop talking? Writing?....communicating!
Lol okay, Thanks for reading!
