WARNING: I do NOT own How To Train Your Dragon, only the OC's i have made.

Chapter One: A Destiny

"Its not like the last few times dad, I mean I really actually hit it, you guys were busy and I had a very clear shot. It went down just of Raven Point, let's get a search party out there -"

"STOP! just stop." Stoick was furious this time, his son Hiccup had caused yet another disaster. In a matter of minutes he had: injured a man, disobeyed orders, sent a giant sconce rolling through the village still aflame, and inadvertently set a bunch of wild dragons free to escape with their livestock in home.

"Every time you step outside disaster falls, can you not see that I have bigger problems, winter is almost here and I have an entire village to feed!" He was fed up with his son's mistakes.

"Well between you and me the village could do with a little less feeding don't you think." Hiccup did always have a sarcastic comeback for every conversation, but this wasn't the appropriate time for those.

"This isn't a joke Hiccup, why can't you follow the simplest orders." He wasn't in the mood for his son's antics, this was a war he was fighting, and here was his risking the lives of him and those around him for some feeble attempt at glory. What was he going to do with him.

"I can't stop myself, I see a dragon and I have to just... kill it, you know its who I am dad." Hiccup had always tried his best to fit in, to be the son his father wanted him to be, but so far his attempts at killing dragons had only caused him ridicule and grief.

"Oh you are many things Hiccup, but a dragon killer is not one of them, now get back to the house." Stoick ended the argument deciding he should probably help start repairing the damage caused by the dragon raid that had passed only minutes ago. "Make sure he gets there, I have his mess to clean up." he said ordering Gobber, one of his oldest friends and village blacksmith, to take his son home. On his way home, Hiccup was shot looks by the other villagers, looks of: disgust, anger, disappointment. The only exception were the other teens his age, Snotlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut were in hysterics over his latest failure, Fishlegs gave him a looks of pity, they used to be friends until he had started getting picked on because of it, then there was Astrid, she didn't even look at him, she just sat there twirling her axe. Snotlout proceeded to taunt him as he and Gobber walked past and towards him and his fathers house they shared at the top of a hill.

When Hiccup got home he realised that he couldn't just sit here and mope while his one chance to undo all the years of failure rots away in the forest, he quickly gathered all the gear he would need: a dagger, his notebook and a stick of charcoal to write with. He left out the back of the house, which luckily back out onto the forest, and began his search for the night fury, he'd be damned if he was going to give up his prize that easily.

Three hours later

Hiccup had been searching for the night fury he shot down, for hours now and still no sign of it, he had been using his notebook as a map marking off the places he had already searched, he knew this like the back of his hand so it had been easy to draw a rough sketch. He would come out here often if he needed some peace and quiet. While he was walking along, he was looking for other places he might have overlooked, but he was running out of locations he had not searched and he was pretty much out of patience. Frustrated he scribbled out his map and slammed his book shut, he sighed already deeming this hunt a failure.

He sauntered on through the forest, mumbling to himself about how he screwed up another chance to prove himself to his father, "Oh the gods hate me, some people lose their kinfe in the mud, not me I managed to lose an ENTIRE DRAGON!" he decided to take out his anger on the closest object he could find, a tree branch, thin enough even he could break it. He smacked the branch with as much force as he could muster, but he realised his mistake all too late, the branch was going to spring back in his face, he flinched expecting it to smack him right back, but the blow never came.

He opened his eyes to see an enormous black hand holding the branch inches from his face. His gaze followed the hand up it's arm to see a tall, hooded figure leaning against the tree. Hiccup jumped back in shock, wondering how could he have not seen them standing there beforehand, "wh-who are you." He asked the stranger. "I... am your guardian" was his response, Hiccup noticed the unnaturally deep and gravely tone his voice carried, and that he lacked the Norse accent that was common around the lands of the archipelago, whoever he was, he had certainly travelled far to get here.

"My-my what." Hiccup's response was slightly delayed from being caught off guard by this statement. "Your guardian, for you, Hiccup Haddock the Third, have a calling." He said, stepping out of the shadow of the tree to confront him, Hiccup's eyes widened in fear as the stranger's appearance came to light.

He though it was the tree shadow deceiving his eyes but this man's entire body was black, charred like it had been burnt but he could see no deformity or damage to his skin. His entire physique spoke strength and power, there was not a spot on his body that wasn't toned with bulging muscles that put even the mightiest of vikings to shame, this man looked like he could wrestle his father to the ground with no effort at all, Stoick the Vast, chief of the tribe, even he couldn't measure up to whoever this man was. He didn't wear much, he wore trousers that had been burnt off at the knee and were worn, void of color likely from years of use, his hood was similar, very much worn and burnt around the edges. His hood obscured most of his face he could only see just above his mouth, the rest was nought but shadow.

This Man's imposing nature caused Hiccup to unconsciously take a few steps back, his heel got caught on a rock and fell flat on his back. The stranger let out a dark chuckle, obviously amused at Hiccup's sudden stumble. He couldn't blame him though, his appearance was quite frightening to say the least. Hiccup rubbed the back of his head, he looked up to see the strange figure offering a hand to help him up, but this only fueled his terror, from this angle he could see his eyes, they were a blazing inferno with no pupils, as if he hid the fires of hell behind his eyes instead of flesh and blood 'this guy looks more like something that crawled out of the depths of hell than a guardian' Hiccup thought, hesitant to take this Man's offer of help. For all he knew once this man had a hold of him he could drag him away, never to be seen again, but if he declined he could antagonize this man for all he ones, vikings usually had a very low amount of tolerance for disrespect, the strongest ones, like his father, had the least tolerance, this 'guardian' could have even less patience for all he knew. "Don't worry I'm not going to hurt you." He reassured Hiccup who hesitantly took his hand to let him help him up, "what do mean I have a ' calling '?" He asked rather confused at this suddenly revelation, "a great evil will threaten the world in the years to come and only you can stop it."

"ME!? How can I possibly save the world, I can't even lift a hammer." Hiccup was dumbfounded, how could he be the saviour of the world when he was the village hiccup, its in the name, its viking tradition to name runt of the litter hiccup.

"That is why I am here, to train you to become the champion that you are destined to be." Hiccup was dumbfounded, he was chosen by the gods to save the world from destruction? "We will begin your training tomorrow."

With that said, Hiccup turned back and started heading in the general direction of the village.

"Where are you going?" the stranger asked

"Heading home, I'm going to need my strength for tomorrow right?" Which was his disguised way of saying he was going to run home, go to bed and forget this ever happened.

"You were hunting a dragon were you not?"

"I've been out here for hours and i haven't found anything, its probably escaped by now anyway, maybe I could start searching again tomorrow." Hiccup sighed, finally accepting his latest screw up.

"Well you won't have to look far" the man said, looking back beyond the tree were once standing under. Hiccup followed his gaze to a trail of torn up earth, something had crashed here, something big. He ran over to the debris of the crash, hopefully to find the night fury he shot down, he looked back to thank the stranger for his help only to find he was gone. Hiccup looked around searching for him, he was nowhere to be seen, but he didn't have time to worry about that now, he had a night fury to kill, he would cut out it's heart and take it to his father and finally be seen as a true Viking in the eyes of his peers.

He peered over a small ledge to see the night fury was still wrapped up in the bola he used to shoot it down, it didn't seem to be moving so Hiccup assumed it died during the crash "I did it, oh this fixes everything, YES! I have brought down this mighty beast." He place his foot on the dragon's side to emphasize his victory, but his success was short lived as the beast kicked him away, Hiccup quickly scrambled to his feet, the dragon's eyes were now open, staring him down with a predatory gaze. No one had ever seen a night fury before and lived to tell the tale, Hiccup hoped he would be the first, it's black pupils were slit with bright green irises, it's scales were sleek and black as night. The night fury wasn't struggling against the rope that restrained it and it's breathing was deep and heavy, clearly too tired to keep fighting. Hiccup prepared himself to slay the dragon, 'one stab, one quick stab is all I need and I'm officially the first viking to kill a night fury' he though to himself, " I'm gonna kill you dragon, I'm gonna... cut out your heart and take it to my father." Hiccup raised the knife above his head, "I am a viking, i am a VIKING!" He yelled, trying to give himself courage more than frighten the dragon.

As he was about to deliver the killing blow he looked into the dragon's eyes, he expected to see them slitted, filled with anger and hatred, defiant to the bitter bloody end, but what he saw instead was what shocked him the most. It's pupils were now dilated slightly, showing something other than predatory instinct, despair, hopelessness and could it be... fear? No, this was a dragon, their kind had raided their village for generations and had shown no mercy to any viking, why should he show this dragon any mercy, it wouldn't show him any if the roles were reversed, would it? The dragon noticed his hesitation and gave him a look that he thought could be hope... curiosity maybe? He tore his eyes away from the dragon's, it was just trying to deceive him, dragons were cold blooded killers, there was no way a dragon could be so kind, they killed his mother when he was just a baby, but that wasn't this dragon, his father had seen the dragon that had killed her, no one had ever seen a night fury before today. Hiccup raised the dagger again, ready to plunge it into the dragon's heart, but when the dragon slumped it's head down in defeat, submitting to it's fate Hiccup finally gave up, he couldn't bring himself to kill a dragon.

Hiccup slumped against a nearby rock, "I did this" he said to himself. After a few moments of silence he started pondering what to do with the dragon, he couldn't kill it, that had already been established, he couldn't just leave it here to die, but then he thought of what could possibly be his craziest plan yet. Before Hiccup even knew what he was doing, he started cutting the bola rope with his knife, one by one the ropes fell until the dragon was free. It pinned him between it's claws, Hiccup could feel the hot breath from it's flared nostrils, he was almost certain he was going to die, terrified and alone. The night fury reared upwards opening it's mouth wide to reveal two rows of razor sharp teeth, Hiccup closed his eyes so he didn't have to watch the dragon tear him to pieces, but his thoughts were blown away with a deafening screech. When he opened his eyes, the night fury was gone, he looked past the trees up ahead to see the dragon flapping its wings wildly trying to fly, Hiccup struggled to his feet, fighting for breath, he had just been inches from a dragons waiting maw and it just left. He felt light headed, he should probably head home and put as much distance between him and that night fury as possible, but with seconds he lost consciousness and fell straight to the forest floor.

Five hours later

When Hiccup finally came to, he was dazed, confused, he remembered finding the night fury, setting it free, almost dying, then everything went black. "I must've passed out." He took in his surroundings and realised he was not where he was when he passed out, he was in a spacious cove with a waterfall and a lake. "How did I get here."

"I brought you here." The disembodied voice came from behind a tree opposite him, and a familiar figure proceeded to walk out from behind it, the stranger from earlier.

"You again." What did he want this time. "Wait, you brought me here, why?" Hiccup struggled to get to his feet having just woken from unconsciousness.

"Because of him." The stranger pointed towards the other end of the lake where they could just make out the shape of a black dragon trying to climb out of the cove.

"You brought me to a cove with a FREAKING NIGHT FURY IN IT! Are you trying to get us KILLED!" What was this guy thinking, taking him to the doorstep of the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself.

The man let out a dark chuckle. "Don't worry, he doesn't seem too bothered by our presence so I think we're safe."

Hiccup focused his attention on the night fury again, he noticed it was trying to get out of the cove, but why didn't it just fly away, it was a dragon. He walked around half way to the night fury's side of the cove, he climbed onto a rock and sat cross legged, he felt his book in the inside pocket of his fur jacket, he pulled it out and started drawing the infamous dragon. During his sketches he noticed it only had one tailfin where it looked like it should have had two, how can a dragon fly with half a tail?

After his sketches Hiccup simply observed the night fury as it repeatedly flapped its wings, trying to get out of the cove, but to no avail. Hiccup simply lost track of time and after a while he felt he was hungry, there was plenty of fish in the lake.

"Let's see if those hunting lessons taught me any good." He remembered when his dad took him on his first hunting trip into the forest where he was almost trampled by a boar, while he wasn't able to kill a boar he could at least kill a few fish in the nearby river, it was one of the few memories with his father that were memorable for a good reason, back when his father was proud of him for his achievements.

He walked to the edge if the water and crouched down, balancing on the balls of his feet, he pulled out his dagger and held it facing down, waiting for a fish to wonder close. When one did venture close Hiccup thrust his dagger towards his target, unfortunately the fish was a tad quicker than him. "Thor damn it." He readied himself for another go, and again he missed, he was there for another ten minutes and just as his patience was wearing thin, he caught one.

"Yes, finally gotcha!" He raised his dagger, with the fish still on it, to the sky as if it was an offering to the gods. "Now if I could find a way to cook this then that would be- ". Hiccup's word were cut short when he noticed the night fury had ceased its attempts of escaping and was watching him just as he was minutes ago, did it want the fish? If so why did it need his fish, it seemed capable enough. The dragons eyes flicked from him and towards the water, it then assumed a cat like stance, crouching down low, then it pounced on the fish in the water, but caught no fish. The dragon's disappointment was quite evident when it made a sad whining sound, something he never thought he would hear from a dragon.

Hiccup felt bad for the night fury, it must have gone longer than him without food, he decided he could just give his fish to the dragon, after all he could go back to the village if he was hungry or just catch some more fish. He walked slowly over to the night fury as to not startle it, it saw his approach a let out a low warning growl, Hiccup stopped in his tracks.

" Its OK, I just wanted to um... give you a uh... fish." Hiccup was scared being this close to the dragon, it didn't turn out very well last time. The night fury edged closer to him as he presented the fish, it looked just about to take the fish when it back up suddenly, but it didn't seem threatened by him, but more focused on something on his waist, Hiccup looked to see what had unsettled it, he saw his blooded knife tucked under his fur jacket, he took out his knife to get rid of it, but this only seemed to further agitate the dragon, he paused slightly in his movements before dropping it. The night fury gestured for him to move it further away, Hiccup did so by kicking it away and into the shallow water.

With the offending weapon gone, the night fury lowered its back half and it pupils were more rounded than slit, Hiccup tried to offer the fish to it again, and again the dragon approached, when it was close enough it opened its jaw and to Hiccups surprise the dragon had no teeth.

"Toothless I could have sworn you had-" Hiccup was cut off when teeth jutted out of the beast's gums and the fish was snatched out of his hand. "Teeth." The dragon then crept uncomfortably close and Hiccup backed away until a rock blocked his path, the dragon's face was inches from his own, "I don't have any more." He feared the dragon was going to eat him to now, but its eyes lolled in the back of its head and its throat was making strange noises, then without warning it threw up half the fish he had given it.

The night fury sat back on its haunches and watch him expectantly, they sat in silence for a moment before the dragon seemed to gesture to the fish with its head, Hiccup looked at the dragon confused, did it want him to do something with it? The night fury started to do something with its mouth that looked like eating, Hiccup stared at the fish in disbelief then back at the dragon, he would have refused, but he didn't want to upset the beast that stood before him, for his sake. He took one bite out of the fish, it tasted slimy and bitter, hopefully this was all it wanted with him. Unfortunately for him the dragon made a swallowing gesture, Hiccup's expression was one of ' oh come on really ', he could hear the stranger's echoing laughter from across the cove, reluctantly he did as he was asked and swallowed the fish, almost vomiting while trying to keep it down.

Hiccup was practically gagging from the horrid aftertaste, when he finally regained his composure he saw the dragon trying to mimic the sounds he was making, coming out as seemingly meaningless warbles and grunts. Hiccup gave an awkward smile and the dragon seemed to copy him again slowly forming an awkward, gummy smile.

It was then that Hiccup saw what dragons really were, they weren't mindless, savage beasts, they were intelligent and had thoughts and emotions just like vikings did. Hiccup reached out with one open palm to see if it would understand, but the reaction he got wasn't one he was hoping for, the dragon must have taken this as a threat, its smile disappeared and was replaced with a snarl as it retreated, gilding over the lake to another corner of the cove.

Hiccup paced around the cove for what felt like hours, thinking about dragons, what Berk thought about them was wrong, today he saw the truth behind it all, but it only gave him questions, ones that he could not answer: if they really had emotions then why would they raid the village? Could they not find another way to get food, if not why? Was he the only person who knew about this, were there others? All of this thinking was starting to make his head spin, he sat down on the rock he woke up next to. It was then that the stranger approached him.

He was about to say something, but Hiccup cut him off, "why did you bring me here?" This stranger mentioned something earlier, about his destiny.

"The world is in great peril and only you can stop it."

"Yes I know, you said that earlier, but why me, surely you would be better suited for something like this."

"What makes you say that."

"Well first of all you can fight."

"OK I see where you're going with this, look its not about being the perfect fighter, but its about how you see the world." He knelt down to look Hiccup in the eye.

Hiccup gave him a deadpan look. "I still don't understand what you're saying, how will I save the world, how will I become this so called ' champion of the gods '."

"With him." He pointed over to where the night fury was curled up in a ball right next to the waterfall.

"What!?"

"You two were destined for one another."

"So what, you're telling me I'm going to fall in love with dragon?" Hiccup's voice dripping with sarcasm. His joke was met with raucous laughter.

"No that's not what I meant." He took a moment to regain his composure, "you're different from the other vikings, not just physically, but mentally, you've seen what these creatures really are, you are the only person here that truly understands them."

Hiccup was piecing it together, he could end the war between vikings and dragons through peace, he could prevent years of bloodshed for both sides and he would be called a savior among his tribe. "OK, but how do we do this, where do we start?"

"Well first you must learn to fight, I will teach you that. Secondly we need to find a way to help your dragon friend fly, I noticed he is missing a tailfin, and thirdly we must gather allies to aid us in our cause, which means we must leave Berk."

"Leave? For how long?"

"It will be a few years before you are ready, but we will return."

"Years!?" Hiccup wasn't sure about leaving home for that long, he only ever left Berk for short amounts of time and that was with his father to sign peace treaties with other tribes, he didn't know if he was ready for this.

"Don't worry we still have some time before we leave, we still have to find a way to get that dragon to fly before we can leave, taking a boat is far too risky, that should give you enough time to see people you want to see before we leave, but you can't tell anyone that were leaving, understood?"

"Alright, I can cope with that I guess."

"Oh and you're probably going to have to come up with a name for your dragon."

"A name?"

"Well I don't think he'd appreciated it if we just called him dragon or night fury for the rest of forever."

"Right." Hiccup though hard about this, he remembered earlier when he tried to feed him the fish, ' toothless, I could have sworn you had- ...teeth. ' "How about toothless."

"Why toothless?"

"He has retractable teeth."

"Well if that's what you want to call him sure. Now you should probably get going, people will start to wonder where you are."

Hiccup looked to the sky for any indication of how long he had been out here, the sun had just started to rise when he left, now it was already beginning to set. "OK, I'll try and think of a way to get Toothless to fly."

"Be back here tomorrow at midday, I'm going to teach you how to fight."

"Right, I'll see you then uh... What was your name again."

"Khaine."

"OK I'll see you tomorrow Khaine." Hiccup turned around to head home when he realised he didn't know the way home. "Uh which way is the village." All Khaine did was point in the direction he needed to go. "Thanks, uh bye."

Khaine started after the boy after he left, he let out a quiet snort. "That kisky

The Next Day

Yesterday had been a rollercoaster of emotions for Hiccup: discovering the truth behind the dragons, his destiny to save the world, being the first to see a night fury and live, almost dying, needless to say it had been very stressful for him. When he got home, there was a very unnerving conversation with his father waiting for him, his father had decided to put him in dragon training with the other teens, where he would learn to kill dragons, he tried to talk his way out of it but his father made him promise, his father was supposed to leave the following morning to search for the dragon nest.

There was an upside to last night however, he thought of a way to get Toothless in the sky again, he could build him a tailfin, late last night he snuck into the forge to make it. After hours of calculating and forging he finally left the forge in the early hours of the morning.

Now he was carrying his latest creation and basket full of fish for Toothless, he had just arrived at the cove, he could see Toothless sleeping by the lake, but there was no sign of Khaine, "Khaine are you here!" The commotion managed to wake Toothless, he turned his head to face Hiccup with a grumble, he was obviously not pleased with being woken up. "Hey Toothless do you know where Khaine is?" His reply was a high pitched warble and tilted his head, maybe he didn't know who Khaine was. "Well I brought you some fish." Toothless immediately perked up at the mention of fish, Hiccup dropped the basket letting its contents spill out all over the floor, "I brought you some salmon, some nice Icelandic cod, and a whole smoked- ah!"

Suddenly a large circular object appeared out of thin air, it looked almost like a gateway, like a giant ball of fire had torn through reality, and out of this strange object walked Khaine. "Khaine!?"

"Morning Hiccup." He seemed rather casual for what just happened.

Hiccup was lost for words, he had just seen something that he didn't think was even possible, he just pointed to where he had just come from with his mouth agape and eyes wide open.

"Oh, I probably should have mentioned that before, I can travel between the realms whenever and wherever I choose, a gift from the gods for my years of service." Hiccup now noticed he was carrying a weapons rack on his shoulder, as if he was showing off how strong he was.

"What's that for?"

"Training, I said we would start today remember." He set the rack down with a loud clang, it had weapons on it, that Hiccup had never seen before. "I hand picked these for you, these weapons are from all across the world, from the mighty Romans to the fearless samurai."

Hiccup was about to ask more about the exotic weaponry, when he heard a familiar growling sound from behind him. It was Toothless, growling at the pile of fish he brought him. "What's with him?" Hiccup walked over to the pile of fish and noticed his attention was focused on one in particular, the smoked eel, he picked it up and held it out to Toothless, only for him to roar in response.

"NO NO NO NO!" Hiccup tossed the eel into the lake, "yeah not my favorite either." Toothless then proceeded to dig in to his pile of fish.

"Now, training." Khaine was eager to teach him how to fight.

"Hold on a minute, I found a way to help Toothless fly."

"Ah good, some progress."

"I made him a new one." Hiccup stared down at his new invention in his hands, now he just had to pray to Thor that it didn't backfire like the other ones.

"A new one? Is that even possible?"

"Well let's see." Hiccup crept towards Toothless so he didn't scare him, once he tried to put it on Toothless' tail it kept moving away, Hiccup had to hold it down, not that it helped much, he eventually managed to fasten the belt that held the prosthetic to the tail, he sat back admiring his creation. "Great looks good."

"Uh Hiccup!" There was a hint of urgency to his voice, Hiccup turned to face him.

"What?"

Hiccup didn't have time to react, the dragon took off at breakneck speed, he clung on for dear life and before he knew it they were plummeting towards the ground, he pulled out the tail fin and up they went, flying high above the cove. Toothless was ecstatic that he had regained his flight roaring into the sky, they passed over the cove and Toothless could feel the small human weighing down on his tail, he shook him off and Hiccup fell into the lake. Without Hiccup to hold open the tailfin he couldn't keep altitude, Toothless fell shortly after. Khaine all the while stood watching, he was actually impressed at first but after the fall his expression deadpanned.

Hiccup swam to the lakeside, throwing his arms in the air. "YES! I did it! I DID IT. Did anybody see that!?" He was amazed, his invention actually worked, it felt great to see his hard work pay off.

"Yes, you helped a dragon fly for ten seconds and?" This wasn't getting them anywhere, they were just wasting time.

"I know it wasn't much progress but it was still progress, all I need is to find a way to kept the tailfin open." Hiccup was about to start pacing around the cove to think of an idea, but he was stopped by Khaine.

"We can do that later, but now we train." They walked back over to where the weapons rack was. "Now, pick a weapon."

Hiccup scanned the rack, one weapon in particular caught his attention, a sword with a blade longer than any he had seen before, "What's this one?" He carefully lifted it if the rack, it was surprisingly light for how big the sword was, he couldn't swing it without loosing his balance, but he could still hold it. It had a slight curve to the blade, forming an arch from the tip of the blade to the butt of the hilt.

"Its called a katana, used by the ancient samurai, has good reach and a sharper blade than most swords." Hiccup gave it a few test swings, sure it had good reach, but the length of the sword threw of his balance and the curve it had would only make his swings less accurate.

"No, this isn't right." He put the weapon back on the rack, he picked up another weapon, a very odd one at that, it had a handle with chains that linked it to a spiked iron ball. "How is this an effective weapon?"

"Its a flail, you're supposed to swing it around to give it momentum." He swung it in a circle over his head and went for a swing, only for it to come back around and almost take his head with it. He just put it back and decided to never touch it again.

Next was a spear like weapon except it had a blade on the end of it, taking up about a fifth of the weapons length. At the hilt of the blade there were guards to help deflect attacks

"This one seems better." He tried to twirl it in his hands and almost dropped it.

"The sword spear, good choice, pass it here and I'll show you how to use it." After receiving the sword spear from Hiccup, he adopted a fighting stance, "when you swing you must make sure not to put your full weight into the swing so you can counter attack, keep your front facing foot in line with your shoulder so you don't loose balance." He listed things of, all the while performing twirls, spins, slashes, thrusts and dodge rolls. "Think you can handle that."

"Um I er, yeah sure... no problem at all." He laughed nervously to himself, he took the sword spear again and tried to adopt the stance Khaine had moments ago, he went for one swing and almost lost balance, he tried a thrust and fell over, he tried again and after three swings the weapon flung out of his hands. He tried countless more times, but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't get any control over where he swung or how accurate he was.

"Maybe we can just work on some exercises for now." Looking defeated Hiccup picked up his sword spear and placed it back on the rack, he looked up to the sky, he noticed the sun was just beginning its way to set, an hour or two past midday, then he remembered.

"Oh shoot, I forgot." He face palmed before making his way to the cove entrance.

"Forgot what?" Khaine was getting fed up with this boy's constant delays.

"I'm supposed to start dragon training today, It starts in an hour or so, I've got to be quick or I'll be late."

"What? Dragon training, Hiccup have you forgotten about what your doing out here, what your destiny is?"

"Don't worry, its just the first day so there won't be any dragon killing, I plan to have long left Berk before any of that happens, anyway gotta go bye." Hiccup broke into a sprint, heading straight to the village.

Khaine sat down on a rock with one palm pressed to his forehead, he released a loud sigh, he noticed a familiar black shape out of the corner of his eye, he turned to see Toothless sitting next to him. "What are we gonna do with him when we leave this place aye?" Toothless replied with a low croon. "Ha, me neither."

Authors note: DEAR GOD this took me far longer than I planned, it was supposed to take me a week or so and it dragged on for months, btw I have my GCSE's coming up in a few weeks so don't expect an update for about a month, but I will if I can find time.
