The Rise of a Storm: Lightning on the Horizon (Book 1) (Rewrite)

Chapter 1: The Start of it All

A/N: This is just a key for the monologue.

Just bold, like this is Magnus, my OC, Hiccup's older brother by an hour.

Bold and italics, like this is Hiccup.

That's all from me, enjoy the book!

3rd Person POV:

"This... is Berk," A male voice started. "A small island in the middle of the Barbaric Archipelago."

"It's a nice life... for most," Another voice said similar to the first, just slightly higher pitch.

"Our village," The first voice said. "In a word? Sturdy."

"It's been here for seven generations, but every single building is new," The second voice said.

"We have hunting-" The first voice started.

"Fishing-"

"And a charming view of the sunsets."

"The only problems are the pests. You see, where most places have mice-"

"Or mosquitos"

"We have..."

A door to the biggest hut opened to reveal a scrawny teen with auburn hair and blue eyes that were almost green. He wore black leggings and brown fur boots with a blue tunic and a brown fur vest. The teen then slams the door shut due to the 'pest.'

"Dragons, why did it have to be dragons?" The teen asked sarcastically to another scrawny teen that looked almost exactly like the first, only with green eyes.

"This is every night," The second one responded. After that, both teens rush out of the house to get to their stations. Not that they're liked.

"Most people would leave, but not us. We're Vikings, we have stubbornness issues."

"I'm Magnus, Magnus Bielke Haddock," The first voice said. "I'm the older one by an hour. I'm the teen with blue eyes."

"And I'm Hiccup. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. The green-eyed teen is me."

"Great names, we know," Magnus's voice said.

"But they're not the worst. Parents here believe that a strong name, like my brother's, or hideous name, like mine, would frighten off gnomes or trolls," Hiccup's voice said. "Yeah, like our charming Viking demeanor wouldn't do that."

"Right, you are, oh brother of mine," Magnus's voice said. "Meet the neighbors. Hork the Haggard."

"What are you doing here?!" Hork asked in a harsh tone.

"Magnus the Mauler. No, not my brother."

"Get inside!" He ordered.

"Ivar the Ignorant."

"What are you doing out?!"

"Phlegma the Fierce."

"Get back inside!"

"What amazing neighbors we have," Magnus's voice said sarcastically.

Just as the Haddock twins are about to run into a stream of fire, two giant, meaty hands pick them up by the collar of their tunics.

"Hiccup?! Magnus?!" The owner of the hands said, "What are they doing-?" He started, then turned to the teens in his hands. "What are you doing out again?! Get inside."
