"Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. You have distort viking tradition that has not been ruined for seven generation . You are charged for holding a dragon in the Island of Berk and to this it is a treason. The chief and councils has decided your fate."

This is really happening isn't it?

Hiccup thought, he was standing in the middle of the dragon arena before his father and the councils, hands tied behind his back. Gobber, who was supposed to be on Stoick's side, could never be seen around. Instead, he saw Fishlegs, Ruffnut, Tuffnut and Snotlout a few feet away from Stoick. He wondered where could have the young blonde tough viking lass had gone to.

Behind him was Toothless being tamed roughly by four huge vikings. They had wrapped his mouth with thick ropes and his wings were chained. Toothless was using all his strength to get free from the vikings' hold but could not simply work it out. Hiccup stared at him.

He's afraid, afraid being tied, afraid being captured, afraid to die and afraid to loose me too.

Toothless starred back at Hiccup, he could say his companion was saying something like "I'm sorry bud" It had been a few short weeks since they have first met. True he was afraid to die but he was more afraid to loose his companion who made him a new tail. It had come to the dragon that not all humans have no soul to a dragon like him and Hiccup had proven that back at the cove, where they first bonded.

Hiccup sighed and faced the chief, today would be the day he won't consider himself a viking.

"We have marked you as traitor young Hiccup and we decided that we should banish you from this island."

Bash announced inside the arena, Hiccup gave out a heavy sigh. He knew Bash never wanted Hiccup ever in his life, along with Scar, Aren and Rosh. The four of them had been in the council for ten years ever since Stoick needed help governing the whole village.

Originally the four aren't Berk citizens. Ten years ago they were nomads searching for a place to stay. Once they have found Berk, Stoick happily took them in until they formed a good system to handle the village towards dragon problems. Stoick brought them in and made them Officials of Berk under Chief Stoick

"However, the chief and the rest of us has also thought of a compensation of your 'dragon problems' to clear your name as guilty-"

Hiccup was pushed back to reality when Bash had said that there is another way to clear his name, but it seems that it isn't a good idea. Bash slowly walked closer to Hiccup.

"-lucky you for being the chief's son" Bash mumbled loud enough for Hiccup to hear. "If were I would just follow and STAY OUT of trouble, you're father could have been more proud of you" He gave Hiccup a sly glare before continuing announcing his trials to all Berk.

"To clear your name, you must slay the dragon behind you and do repairing of buildings around Berk. Your trial will end as when we are all fully satisfied with your work. You are to work alone, no close contact with the Berkians, sleep at the far edge of the island. This will prove and show that you are truly among us."

Everybody roared as Bash finished. Hiccup was assigned to slay Toothless and be a slave at his very own home.

Home.....

Is Berk really his home? This people who judge him very much? The people who wanted him out of Berk? And this people, this...this VIKINGS who hated him so much because he's not a viking material.

And maybe that's what they want me to be.

"Show no mercy!!"

"Slay that monster!"
