The Lost Hofferson

Astrid was announced dead five years ago after she was killed by a dragon during a raid

After her funeral Hiccup was sent into a deep depression which lasted for three years

Once the depression was gone he was training a lot more and now he uses a sword that engulfs itself inflames when ever he pulls it out its holster and he also carries Astrids axe where ever he goes

He wasn't letting Astrids spirit go so he decided to try to be as good a fighter and as brave as she was

But what will happen when he finds out his father had been keeping secrets from him this whole time
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
On with the story
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the sun began to shine on the village of Berk a new day arrived bringing all that was calm and peaceful to an end and a start to lots of noise and chatter as the enhabitents of Berk began their daily work routine

Gobber was in the forge hard at work as usual making and mending weapons from the previous attacks from raiders trying to take over what was now known as the home of the dragons

Stoick walked into the forge to see how everything was going "how's the old man holding up" he said "ehy, not so fast there stoick I'm younger than you remember so that makes you the old man" he said wiping his forehead of sweat and continuing to pound the red hot sword body he was fixing

Stoick chuckled at his old friend's comment "yes well the years are still kind to us both aren't they"

"speaking of years stoick, how's hiccup doing?" he asked, stoick just sighed and shook his head, he had just gotten through another one of hiccups rages

Everytime someone mentions astrids name he has stormed over to them and almost killed them

"not good gobber, ahh what am I gonna do with him, I can't talk to him or get close enough with out him trying to kill me or jumping on toothless and blast the door off its hinges instead of just opening it for the millionth time and flying away for days on end" he sighed frustratedly rubbing his eyes

"ahh come now stoick, ever since you decided to make peace with the dragons he has been alot better, I don't think poor Snotlout ever got over the time hiccup trapped him in the arena with a monstrous nightmare doped up on dragon root" he said chuckling fondly at the girly scream Snotlout made when the dragon set his pants on fire

Gobber then noticed something, stoick was staring out into the oceon from the window of the forge, gibber sighed as he hobbled over to the chief and put a hand on his shoulder

"you can't blame yourself for what happened to the hofferson girl stoick, but you need to tell hiccup the truth or at least tell him that she's alive"

Stoick nodded in silence still staring out to the oceon, "aye gobber you're right, I've not been truthful with him and I need to be" he sighed pinching his nose "when he comes home ill tell him" he said

Gobber smiled and patted his friend on the back "may the gods have mercy on us stoick and let's hope he doesn't go crazy and try to kill us all for hiding the truth"

Stoick chuckled at Gobbers joke "he can try Gobber, he can try"

Later that night stoick was waiting in his chair at the table with some chicken and a mug of mead

He watched the door, waiting for hiccup and his dragon to walk in so he could break the news to him

It had been almost three hours and the pressure was starting to get to stoick

His palms were sweaty and he couldnt stop tapping on the table anxiously

And ask and thou shall receive hiccup just so happened to walk through the door, stoick smiled "hiccup, glad to see you're back in one piece, how was your flight?" he asked holding the smile

Hiccup just walked past coldly "just leave me alone dad, i don't have time for lies" he said as he began to walk up the stairs

"son stop, I need a serious word with you...... Its about astrid"

Hiccup stopped dead in his tracks and looked at his father with a confused and curious look as he walked back down the stairs

"okay, so as you remember astrid was taken five winters ago and I know it's affected you more than anyone on this island" he said staring at his son

"what are you getting at dad?" hiccup asked crossing his arms over his chest

"what I'm getting at son is.......... Astrid is alive, trader Johan saw her with a blue and yellow nadder in the northern markets beyond our archipelago two weeks ago but we believed for quite some time she was alive"

Hiccup face dropped and tears welled up in his eyes "she's alive? My astrid is alive?" hiccup gasped as he gripped astrids axe and traced her initials that were engraved onto the handle

"don't waste another day here son, go find her and bring her home" he said grabbing his son by the shoulders with a serious determined look

Hiccup nodded and walked out into the plaza where vikings from far and wide had come to see the young viking on his journey and offer what ever help and support they could give from food rations to weapons and even an entire army for protection

Hiccup looked back at his father in disbelief who was standing there smiling "I made a call when I found out so you'd have all the help you could get and because I know how you never back down from a fight I'd figure you'd need the extra fire power"

Hiccup hugged his father for the first time in almost six winters "thank you dad" he said "thank me when you bring the girl back to home soil" he said

Hiccup nodded and didn't waste another second as he ran as fast as he could with toothless not far behind him toward the cliff peak "YEAH" hiccup yelled as he jumped of the edge of the cliff and dived, he and toothless connected to each other and flew into the air and raced towards the horizon

"I'm coming astrid, I'm coming"
