A young man was escaping from an angry mob determined to kill him because the act he had committed is considered high treason, he had fraternized with the enemy, and this young man was now running with his friend to flee with him and start a new life.

Hiccup narrates

Well, let's a recap...

This is Berk. It is twelve days north of Hopeless and a few degrees south of Freezing to Death. It is situated solidly on the Meridian of Misery. My people. In one word? Robust. It has been here for seven generations, but each building is new. We have fishing, hunting, and a lovely view of the sunsets. The only problems are the pests. You see, most places have mice or mosquitoes... We have... Dragons!

My current name is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, son of Stoick "The Vast" and the heir to the throne of Berk, but as if it were a joke from the gods I am the complete opposite of a Viking, I have been nicknamed "the talking fish". "and other nicknames that I have no interest in mentioning, well let's continue, at the age of 15 all young Vikings enter dragon slaying training, but I didn't want to, I couldn't, especially after meeting my best friend Thootless, a night fury or better known as "The evil offspring of lightning and death itself", thanks him I excelled in dragon training.

With that maybe and just maybe I can get closer to Astrid again, she was my best friend since I was 5 years old and I've been in love with her since I saw her for the first time, I don't know because I feel that there is something familiar with her as if we were connected, but after what happened with her uncle Finn she began to be more distant to start her training to be the best Viking on Berk, I just hope to be with her again.

Very well where I was going, ah yes... today that was the last training, Gothi would choose the chosen one to kill the monstrous nightmare, the finalists were Astrid and me, I hope he chooses Astrid because I couldn't do it... harm those incredible creatures, however, fate plays against me because it chose me, it was then that I decided to escape from Berk but not before freeing all the dragons from the arena, so I went there but I did not expect that they would have followed me because my father and the head of the village discovered me

Stoick: Son, but what are you doing?

Hiccup sighs as he sees how not only his father but the whole town sees what is happening- what is necessary...-having said that, he opens the cages, and the dragon's escape, everyone is surprised by this, especially 3 people, Stoick who Witnessing this he sees that he is a traitor, Snoutlout, Hiccup's cousin and the person who makes fun of him the most, in addition, that he wants to take away his heir title and then marry Astrid and Astrid herself was shocked by what happened. - I have seen what the dragons suffer for our actions and I will not allow this to continue like this.

Stoick-enraged- You dare to turn your back on your people for these demons that have killed hundreds of us??

Hiccup- interrupts- And we thousands of them and if he were to think about it his company is better than yours- in the end, he brings out a somewhat cynical smile to which the whole town is surprised because the "talking fish" they never know he has acted like that but then they snap out of their shock and look at him with hate except for Astrid.

Mildew an old man steps forward and takes advantage of

Mildew: He's a traitor. I say we hunt him down and kill him so we can get rid of him once and for all.

The vast majority supports it and Stoick, seeing this, continues with the following

Stoick: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III you are accused of high treason against the Viking culture and your punishment will be death you will not go to Valhalla and you will be condemned to go to Helheim... you chose your side with them... you are not a Viking You are not my son.
