Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons

Flying Death - Chapter 4

Hiccup was busy, drawing on the floor. His dragon, Toothless was watching him, begging him to go flying.

“Not today Bud. The Vikings told me that they will be killing dragons, and I was to hide in the forest.” Hiccup told Toothless, but Toothless kept tapping his foot on Hiccup’s drawing. That was when Toothless picked up a stick, and drew another complicated pattern on the floor, like the day the first met. Hiccup stood up, and attempted the same kind of approach he had did before, listening to where Toothless would growl.

“What is he doing… That dragon is going to eat him!” Rapunzel said as they lowered the sleigh, even North couldn’t explain anything, and when Hiccup finished Toothless’ puzzle, he patted the dragon.

“You know a puzzle like that won’t stump me.”

“Move! It’s going to attack!” Jack yelled, running to save Hiccup, but Toothless just ran in front of Hiccup and protected him.

“Woah… Toothless calm down.” Hiccup said, and Toothless backed off, though was still glaring at Jack. “Are you guys lost? Most of the other Viking children are up at the town, though looking at your clothes I would say you’re not from around here.”

“Your right. We are not from around here. May I know your name?” North said, letting his reindeer drink from a nearby lake.

“Ah… I guess. I’m Hiccup.”

“What were you doing with the line things. It looked like you were dancing.” Rapunzel said excitedly, and Hiccup rubbed the back of his head with his hand.

“Well… It is sort of a puzzle. You can’t step on the lines, and you can’t step in the same spot twice, but you have to step in every spot.”

“ And what were you drawing earlier?”

“Rapunzel… Leave him alone. North who are we looking for?” Jack said, and Rapunzel sighed.

“Ah… May I have your names?” Hiccup asked, and North chuckled with delight.

“How rude of us. I am North, or Santa. These are my companions, Rapunzel and Jack Frost.” North introduced himself, pointing at both of his companions in turn.

“Jack… Where you named after Jokul Frosti?” Hiccup asked Jack, who was taken aback.

“Ah… No. I am Jack Frost… Or Jokuel Frosti as in your case.” Jack replied, as he fell down into the sleigh. He knew Vikings had weird names for the Guardians, and that wasn’t what bothered him, it was that he was mistaken to have been named after one.

“Hiccup. We need your help.” North began but Hiccup interrupted him.

“Last time I tried helped someone, I was meant to kill it.”

“What do you mean?” Rapunzel asked concern on her face as she watched Hiccup look back over to Toothless.

“But you want to change how people think of you?” North said, finally making Hiccup interested, even though he acted like it was nothing.

“Fine. A trial period.”

“A trial period?” Rapunzel asked and Hiccup nodded.

“I will come, but if I don’t like it I’m coming back.”

“That sounds good. Make sure your dragon follows us.” North said, climbing back onto his sleigh and taking off. He threw another portal and the sleigh and dragon went through.
