Dragon Girl *Hiccup X Reader*

Origins

"So what is it you have to show me about your village?" Stoic asked as Snow and I sat down across from him.

"Well sir, as you know Snow and I have been together since birth. At one point she was captured by who I was told was my village. They branded her hide before I managed to rescue her, the brand is here." I pointed to the discolored scales, "I also managed to take this amulet from one of the houses when I was looking for Snow." I pulled the amulet around my neck out so that he could look at it.

He looked at them carefully before replying "Yggdrasil (A/N pronunciation is ig-druh-si)? Why would a tribe have this as a symbol? Unless they are one of the few tribes that was close to it. Maybe then, but there aren't any of them left, not since... Lass do you know where abouts on a map you came from?" I nodded pulling out my note book opening to my map page. I had circled the island before we left so that I could go back for supplies on occasion. Mostly from the rubble that was left.

"Here." I backed away as Hiccup and his Father looked over the map carefully. It was in the fog banks to the west and at the very least a ten days flight from Dragons Edge. "There is nothing left but a burnt down village anymore but I still managed to get a few things from what was left. The forge was still operational last I checked which was some time three hundred and sixty moons ago maybe more."

"Three hundred and sixty moons? Have you both been on your own?" I glanced at them all leaning against Snow thinking in all honesty I wasn't sure how long it had been since our mother died.

"Hey Snow, do you know how long its been since our mother died? I cant say I'm sure how long its been, considering I have been out for a long time." I asked closing my eyes trying to think as she hummed thinking as well.

"Does  she do whatever that was often?" Stoics voice cutting through my thoughts and I opened my eyes turning my head to him.

"Yea, she can speak to and understand the dragons. Lets just say our language she wasn't her first one. She picked it up listening to villagers talk to each other, so she doesn't understand all of what we say sometimes." Hiccup explained as I sat up as Snow moved from beside me.

"I believe its been around... three full cycles or so actually. I know we went back to that place after mom died and I think it had been about two full cycles after that happened. We needed the metal from there to make your tools and a slight adjustment to my saddle." I nodded that sounded right.

"Its been about three full cycles we think, since our mother died at least but Snow never leaves me alone for to long. Why are you looking at me like that?" I saw Stoic staring at me in confusion. Then he coughed as if to clear his throat and looked at Hiccup.

"Take care of this one son, she is from a rare tribe indeed. Her island is sacred ground that no one is to tread except for those who were born to the tribe. You cannot land on that island no matter what. Let me explain Yggdrasil is the mythical tree that connects the nine worlds. There are three roots that are far apart from each other. Each root has a guardian that protects a well that the roots feed off of, they are Hel, Jotunheim, and Midgard. The people of these islands, or the nine islands that there used to be were close to one of the nine worlds. If i am to assume correctly she was the chiefs daughter from the island that was closest to, Niflheim, or mist home." 

I listened as he explained each of the worlds and what lived there. Occasionally explaining some of it to Snow as i understood it. "So if i have this straight she is the chiefs daughter and the island that was closest to the secrets of Niflheim? Yet she never learned about any of this haven been taken away by her mother when she was just a baby?" Hiccup clarified after Stoic was finished. I just sat there in shocked silence.

"In basic terms yes, that is how it is lass. Are you alright?" I nodded unable to find words to say anything about how i felt about all of this. It was already dark out as i got up to get some air.

"Can you believe that Snow? Any of what he is saying, i mean its all a little much for me to take in right now. Maybe if i had time to take it in slower or if mom hadn't taken me away-" Snow stopped me from finishing my thought.

"If mom hadn't taken you.. you would have died in that raid of your village all those cycles ago. We wouldn't have been siblings, none of it. I don't know much about their gods and how their world works but to me.. this happened for a reason. Maybe some day we will find out what that reason was, but we don't need to worry about that tonight. Tonight, just know where you came from and live on as their sole survivor. Maybe one day we will return and make it better and discover those secrets. Come let us find a cave to sleep in, does that sound nice?" I nodded and mounted Snow just before i felt a hand on mine stopping me from taking off.

"Where are you off to? We made a bed for you in the house and Snow can sleep with Toothless." I looked at Hiccup and sighed before sliding off Snow slowly. Nodding we followed him inside.
