A New Perspective [Hiatus]

Dauðadagr (Death Day)

The village of Berk has undergone a remarkable transformation in the past five years. For over 300 years, dragons had been the mortal enemies of the Viking people, and countless battles had been fought without a clear winner. However, everything changed when a young Viking named Hiccup managed to befriend a Night Fury, one of the deadliest dragons in all of Midgard. This dragon, born of lightning and death, opened up a whole new world to the Viking people and showed them a different perspective on dragons.

Through the unlikely friendship between Hiccup and the Night Fury, the fighting within the village finally comes to an end. However, it was not the end of the war. Viking and dragon fighting continued to play out across the archipelago, with dragon hunters seeking profit and capturing many dragon species for their power and conquest.

Despite the peace within the village, the threat of the dragon hunters loomed large, and the Viking people knew that they could never let their guard down. Nevertheless, Hiccup and his Night Fury had shown them that there was a different way to live with dragons, and they remained determined to find a path forward that could bring lasting peace to their land.

As we approached the village, it was evident that the aftermath of Drago Bludvist's attack had left a trail of destruction and chaos. The once-thriving community was now in disarray, with buildings reduced to rubble and the land covered in a thick layer of sea ice. Drago's attempt to destroy the village and take away the Berkian dragons had left a profound impact, and the community was working tirelessly to rebuild their homes and make them stronger than before. The Vikings and their loyal dragons were working in unison, clearing the debris and rebuilding the houses brick by brick. Despite the devastation, there was a sense of hope and resilience in the air, as the community banded together to overcome the challenges that lay ahead.

The newly crowned chief, Hiccup, sat atop his loyal dragon, Toothless, directing a group of dragons as they carried a large doorway towards the Great Hall. The structure had suffered massive amounts of destruction and needed to be replaced. Villagers could be seen atop their own dragons sculpting rocks in honor of the late chief, Stoick the Vast, who had perished at the hands of Drago.

As Hiccup adjusted to his new role, he found himself with countless tasks to complete. He knew that his main priority was to fortify Berk's defenses, ensuring that history did not repeat itself and cost him more than just his father's life. Though he had never taken being a chieftain seriously, he soon realized how much responsibility came with the title.

On quieter days, Hiccup would sit atop his house with Toothless by his side, contemplating his father's warnings about Drago. If only he had listened, he thought, his father would still be alive. He regretted not taking his father's lessons seriously and wished he could turn back time to have him back.

As the days passed, Hiccup began to understand the importance of his role as chieftain. He knew he had big shoes to fill, and it weighed heavily on him. However, with Toothless by his side, he was determined to become a great leader and honor his father's memory.

Hiccup knew that he had a big responsibility on his shoulders. However, he was not alone in this new role. He had the support of Gobber, his long-time mentor, and second father figure. Gobber was always there to offer advice and support whenever Hiccup needed it. Astrid, his partner, was also by his side, ready to help him in any way she could.

Despite having his mother back in his life, Hiccup still struggled with how to interact with her. He understood that she had abandoned him to protect him from her own actions and to protect the dragons. However, he sometimes found it difficult to find the right words to say to her. His father had always been there for him, or at least tried to be when he did not have many tasks that needed to be completed. Hiccup missed his father, but he knew he had to move forward and lead Berk to a better future.
