Ch.1: Goodbye, Berk

"…Leaving. We're leaving. Come on, bud. We're going on a little vacation…forever," said Hiccup as he arrived at the cove, his eyes scanning for the jet black dragon living there. He spots the Night Fury slowly walking towards him.

The dragon stopped in front of Hiccup and crooned, confused as if to say: "What's the matter?"

"We can't stay here, bud. I'm chosen to kill the Nightmare, but I can't do that! Who am I kidding, if I hadn't learnt all those things from you, I would've been dragon food by now," explained Hiccup as he petted Toothless. "We're leaving this place and we're never coming back. Not just for me, but for you as well. Sooner or later one of those Vikings is gonna find you and kill you, and I can't let happen. You are my best ad only friend."

Toothless purred at Hiccup's touch and looked at his human, and Hiccup knew what that look meant. "You know I'm with you."

"Okay, let's get out of here," said Hiccup as he got on Toothless' saddle and the Night Fury launched into the sky. "Let's hope my dad won't find the letter I left in front of the door until tomorrow."

"Let's hope," said an unknown voice and Hiccup looked around, but found nothing, and looked at his dragon with a surprised look.

"Toothless, was that you," Hiccup asked the Night Fury.

"We're hundreds of feet I the air. Who else could possibly be," asked Toothless, and Hiccup looked even more shocked.

"Wait, so you actually said those thing back at the cove? I thought I was going crazy by hearing strange voices," said Hiccup and looked at Toothless. "How is this possible?"

"It's because of our bond. You're the only Viking to have ever befriend a dragon," said Toothless.

"This is awesome," said Hiccup, amazed. "At least now I'll be able to understand you."

"Yeah, and let's not–," started Toothless, but stopped when he heard something crying, but Hiccup heard it as well.

"Is that crying," asked Hiccup and saw a small island bellow them. "Let's check it out, bud."

"But what if there are Vikings down there," asked Toothless in concern.

"Since when the unholy offspring of lighting and death itself is scared of Vikings," teased Hiccup.

"I'm not scared! I'm just looking out for you," said Toothless.

"Toothless, stop being a baby. I'm sure there's nothing wrong, now get us down there," said Hiccup firmly as he gestured to the island bellow them, which didn't appear to be inhabited as the only thing they saw was a thick forest.

"Okay, but if we get into trouble don't blame me," said Toothless, and the dragon flew towards the forest.

As Toothless landed, Hiccup got off the saddle and the crying was heard even louder and the former Viking walked towards the source of the sound, Toothless following close behind.

"Be careful," whispered Toothless.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine," said Hiccup.

They walked for a few more minutes, until Hiccup noticed something wrapped in blankets.

"What have we got here," asked Hiccup as he carefully stepped forward and was shocked to see a crying baby girl. "Okay, I did not expect that."

"What is it, Hiccup," asked Toothless and looked at the baby wrapped in blankets. "Is that a hatchling?"

"Yeah, but where are her parents," asked Hiccup and that's when Toothless noticed something.

"Hey, there's a note on the blankets," said the dragon.

Hiccup looked at the note and read it.

"Abandoned. Whoever finds her, take care of her," said Hiccup and looked shocked.

"Abandoned? Who would abandon their own hatchling," asked Toothless just as surprised.

"I bet it's Vikings," said Hiccup and went to pick the baby up. "Well, it says who finds her to care take of her, and that's what we're gonna do."

"Are you sure about this," asked Toothless.

"Of course I am, bud. Come on, the more the merrier," said Hiccup.

"Okay, fine," said Toothless. "So, looks like you'll be her father from now on."

"And I'll be a much better father than Stoick," added Hiccup and he looked at the sky, and noticed it was almost dark. "Let's stay here for the night, bud. We'll continue our travel tomorrow."

"Sounds good to me," said Toothless.

Hiccup picked up the baby girl and she stopped crying, and looked at Hiccup with her green eyes.

"What kind of people could abandon a cutie like you," Hiccup asked himself as he rubbed his finger on the baby's belly, which caused her to giggle much to his surprise.

"So, how are you gonna call her," asked Toothless as he fired a Plasma Blast at some chopped wood, making fire.

"I'm not sure. How about Mari," suggested Hiccup.

"Mari, huh? Not bad, I like it," said Toothless happily.

"Okay, let's eat and get some sleep. We've got a big day ahead of us," said Hiccup as he put Mari down on the ground near Toothless, and brought out some bread and fish from the bag he had tied to Toothless' saddle. Hiccup leaned against the Night Fury, picked Mari up, put her in his lap, and began feeding her.

After a few minutes, Hiccup, Toothless and Mari finished eating, and the Night Fury laid down, pulled Hiccup and Mari close, and closed his wings around them to keep them warm.

Meanwhile, back on Berk, Stoick the Vast was pacing around the village in search of Hiccup. As he couldn't find his son alone, he went to the blacksmith to his best friend, Gobber the Belch, who was exiting the forge.

"Gobber, thank Thor I found you," exclaimed Stoick in panic.

"What's wron', Stoick," asked Gobber.

"It's Hiccup! I can't find him anywhere," said Stoick. "I was wondering if you have seen him."

"Not since he was chosen to kill the Nightmare," said Gobber as he shook his head. "But I wouldn't worry too much. The lad always disappears into the woods after training and comes back at sundown."

"It's already past sundown," exclaimed Stoick.

"Okay, that's a problem. Maybe we should look for him," suggested Gobber.

"What do you think I've been doing for the past hour," asked Stoick and looked at Gobber. "You said he goes to the woods. Gather the teens. We'll cover more ground if we split up."

"You got it," said Gobber and went looking for the other teens.

A few minutes later, Gobber, along with Astrid, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Tuffnut and Ruffnut, arrived at the entrance of the forest, where Stoick currently was standing.

"What's wrong, Chief," asked Fishlegs.

"Hiccup's gone missing. According to Gobber, he's been hanging around in the forest for the past couple of days. The seven of us are going to look for him," explained Stoick.

"Chief, I may have an idea where he might be," said Astrid and all eyes fell on her. "A few days ago, while I was practicing, I saw him heading for some cove. I tried to follow him, but lost him."

"Do you know where that cove is," asked Stoick.

"I might have an idea," replied Astrid.

"Do you think it has something to do with the letter left from Hiccup at the door," asked Fishlegs and everyone looked at him.

"There's a letter left from Hiccup? Why didn't you say anything," asked Stoick a little irritated.

"You didn't ask," answered Fishlegs and everyone face–palmed.

"Okay, in that case, the kids and I will search that cove. Gobber, you go take that letter," said Stoick.

"Actually, Chief, I thought it would be a good idea to take the letter with me and give it to you," said Fishlegs as he brought the letter out from his tunic.

"Give this thing," said Gobber as he snatched the letter from Fishlegs' hands and began reading.

"Dad, I don't know how to say this, but I'm leaving Berk. I know this is the news you've been waiting for 15 years. I know that you and everyone in the village sees me as a mistake and that I'll never be good enough in anyone's eyes. You and everyone else hate me and always will, no matter how much I try, because I'm weak, scrawny, and just…different. I can't help the way I am, and you know what, I don't want to change just because you all think I'm some accident of nature. I've been treated like less than the dirt you walk on for way too long, and I'm done! i'm not sorry for who I am, Stoick. Get over it. I hate Berk, and I hate hurting dragons. I'd much rather betray my tribe then kill a misunderstood creature who has just as much right to live as the rest of us. That's my final goodbye. If you find it in your heart, if you even have one, let the dragons go. If that's not the kind of man you are, then give Astrid the kill, but know that I'll never forgive you. Take Snotlout as a heir. He'll be a much better chief than me even if he can't tell the difference between a yak and a sheep. Goodbye, Stoick,

Hiccup

No one could believe it. Hiccup had actually left Berk!

"He's gone," muttered Stoick.
