The Blind Dragon Prince

Forgetten- Prolgue

The morning is greeted with his father yelling, " Hiccup Haddock! GET DOWN HERE! You have a few friends wanting to escort you to your lesson with Gothi!". Hiccup slowly gets up. His room is small and full of homing insects but the respect him enough leave him alone at least. The upstairs had two rooms but his nephew and the gang operated up there through his dad's special permission. He walks down the stairs slowly. Snotlout, the twins, Fishlegs the best friend a Viking can ask for and the mother of warriors and RUN or die, Astrid.  The twins and Snotlout were bad enough but Astrid sent a cold shiver down his spine. His 7 year life will die today.

Die in a another form. Not the one, he thinks.

"Alright,the reason you lot were called here is simple. You are the very few most capable young Vikings, I have seen be ready for what's going to happen for the next month. The Step." Stoic says smiling. Astrid just smiles like she won a trophy. Hiccup gulps down a tube of ice with Fishlegs. The Step is the first step to adulthood. They will be on a island of complete wild life even dragons. They will be given at least two helpers and that's it. They will stay there for a month. That the month is the most Dragon raids of the months on that island. This  day will be the few last days he has left before trying to survive on a island with a few worst people he has ever met. The people who help make his life torture. They will have to build a house with a partner of their group. They will have to have it stored with all the Viking needs in order to be allowed with their partner to leave the island. And if they fail. They'll be left in the children village that is locked by the best warriors. It's like a death sentence of Berk. To a child. The helpers are also judges for jobs on Berk. The raw talent that is shown shall be put to work but Hiccup was already put to work so Stoick doesn't have to look at his greatest disappointment.
Gothi and Gobber are the people he works for. Gothi is teaching him the art of a healer while Gobber is teaching the art of blacksmith. The only two people besides Fishlegs that really care for him.
"Alright partners are. Ruff with Astrid. Tuff with Snotlout. Fishlegs with my disappointment. Have fun  by the way be prepared for many things to change. For one, gifts will be given afterwards. As usual the disappointment is already working. Pack what you think you need for this very important month. You have this week before leaving." Stoick says smiling. That for a month no disappointment to stare at. Hiccup breaths in and out quietly in fear. He swears he might vomit. Fishlegs isn't terrified at all. He's scared for poor Hiccup. He can't see anything. He already has to go through the forest for food. He actually might have a healthier stomach than the others. Fishlegs loves helping him because he gets to learn more of plants and hang with his best friend. Hiccup was banned from the village food after the first Dragon raid. It was terrible. His mom made Fishlegs meet Hiccup as much as he could so she can seek him food.  Hiccup plans to thank them today. He walks with Fishlegs. He walks slowly. The amount of bruises he has. from Snot and the twins he is literally limping  his way to Gothi to learn by healing his wounds and the villagers to only be payed with. A cut. Punch. Kick. Screams to the chief. Then to be having a terrible night home. All he could see in this was black. The black void covering him from the blood. Gothi teached him how to read and write. How to speak in sign language, just in case he went mute. Honesty. Only a few people heard Hiccup talk. He's normally silent. So he speaks in sign language with a staff anyway. He actually needs it to feel the environment. He uses his feet to feel the vibrations. Right now he's not talking. He's using his staff to walk. Ruff and Tuff sadly notice this. They rip the staff of his hands and begins beating him with it. Snot begins joining with glee. Astrid stands there pissed. She doesn't hate Hiccup. She's feels empathy for him. Only in small pitch's. Taking the staff was too far. If they snap it, they'll be killed by her. She sends a glare informing them what they can do but when they go pass the honorable warrior. THEY'LL definitely DIE. Astrid sees Gobber running at them. She sends them a stare. They quickly give the staff back and vanish to go pack before being killed by Gobber. Astrid picks up the weakest of her warrior group for the rest of her life.
Warrior group = every Viking is put into a group of warriors. They have to live and eat together for the rest of their life's. It's meant to be easier on where to place them on dragon raids and what type of dragons they're allowed  to kill. The Step helps decide where they live and where they kill. Having an heir, however changes things. It boasts your status by a gronckle region to a hideous Zippleback. Hiccup is a treasure but if these three kills him. Their status can be banished or rewarded based on the chief's decision. This was form to have a higher chance of killing the dragons attacking your region or in other words. Your house and family.
She stares at Hiccup and drags him softly to Fishlegs. "Train him to survive. While I whip those three to be actually prepared to up our status to the biggest and untouched land. The Night Fury. The most dangerous and undistrubed land for us to settle. The most dangerous dragons and best kills. I know when we work as team. We're the best team as individuals, we suck." Astrid says smiling at her group. "Make him see what we can't." Astrid says knowing the use of a blind person. Their senses increase. Higher hearing. Higher sense of touch. Higher smell. She knows how useful Hiccup can really be. She walks away to go train and these idiots realize the opportunity they have, knowing they'll be training their butts off once she's done. Fishlegs realizes what she means. He's happy that someone else in this terrible place sees the use of his friend. Gothi nearly wants to poison the young warriors right now in their sleep for what they did. She calms herself as Hiccup wakes up and whispers, " Can we         do the lesson?". That's all he can do now whisper. He doesn't talk much. He actually writes  a lot more to his few friends now.
He's losing the ability to speak human. But gaining a ability he doesn't know. How to speak dragon.
Gothi laughs but agrees teaching him more advanced healing. He mastered the basics at 4. He learns the secrets of Gothi now. He has a book of her hidden secrets but only he and Gothi can understand what language he's writing in. A healer's secret language. 
They heal him together laughing. Fishlegs address the message to Hiccup. Honesty he can see where she's going but he doesn't mind. Living in that area after the Step would mean that he gets to see less of the father that hates him so agrees. He would get to see Gothi and Gobber more. That is a paradise so Hiccup agrees. To the approval of everyone once they think about it. Hiccup is told to get some 3 hour sleep. He groans but agrees sleeping but before he does. He stares at them and smiles. As he sleeps. Gobber grunts at his "son". He hopes this somewhat of a paradise is a little bit better than now.  He hopes the his beloved  Hiccup gets a life that Gobber can't give him. A life of freedom. Freedom of the torture. Freedom of his F—-ING biological father. With that he watchs Hiccup sleep and hoping he's dreaming a better world far from here.  Hiccup always wondered the rise of the sun's beauty. He's siting on a hill seeing what he longed desires. The sun rising to a beauty warm of day. The Night Fury area was scanned Hiccup. He seemed at each area at night to find the prefect place to build a forge and house after the torture of the Step was over. He had detailed maps of the terrain on each area.  He had found the best place for forging. The Night Fury area.  He slowly wakes and continues training in healing and blacksmithing. He soon heads to the arena. He wants to rip the cell doors open to end the screaming of the dragons. He holds an axe he made. He slowly focuses on his stance. He hates this but to build his teammates houses he has to swing an ace to gather materials. So he does. Astrid stares shock how much her words hit him. She stares at him and grabs him. "Alright sir, if you're going to work your butt off this hard. Everyone will! That's some determation I wish our other warriors have besides sharping their destruction." Astrid says smiling at him but Hiccup tell she is. The others are dragged there. Fishlegs is absolutely horrified to find out that  Hiccup was preparing by himself with sharp weapons in the dark that darkens the black void he sees.  Astrid marks his idea brilliant to train in the night. Snot and the twins realize quickly what they can achieve the area no viking could get. Their fires that were lit were now burning with must become the best Vikings to walk! They aren't even focused on beating Hiccup. They need to work as a team to gain their prize. Astrid begins her training. Gobber and the helpers assigned to them watch above smirking. "First training session.  How do track something that hears like a dragon. Hiccup is dragon. If you use his staff to win. You LOSE. The game is to catch him while behind him. The most obvious place he can hear you. I set up the maze with the blind boy help. Yes now go! I'm training too." Astrid says blowing the whistle that Hiccup made for her.  Snot got him barely. Ruff got him but Tuff failed for their plan to work. Fishlegs knew Hiccup's blindspot and got him perfectly like Astrid. "Now What was the point of that exercise?" Astrid growls like a lion. "To learn the blind spot." Hiccup says drawing in the ground. "Excatly to learn how to find and get into a dragon's blind spot. I don't think Stoick or Gobber will mind if I borrow a Gronckle for all of us to practice and kill. Hiccup for killing yourself in the battle which is why you are good are strategy so you hide and envade. Make sentences in the ground for us to train with your strategies. I'll adjust them when needed. But before that can happen. You three have to envade a human dragon. Hiccup. If you can't then no dragon killing. Does that seem fair?"  Astrid says like a commander. Snot, Ruff and Tuff nod. Hiccup hates this. He hates violence but sadly this is his team. He has to do what's needed of him. He can't see a battle but he can sense one. Astrid sees the use that most don't see. Astrid wants them to be used. He can't blame her inside of forcing him to do something he hates. Killing a dragon. She makes him do what he likes doing the art of non violence. Planing. That sadly Hiccup knows will be used to kill dragons. That is better so he ends up having no choice but to agree. He will always help a dragon in need when he finds one. He always help them but won't in the Step so he won't hurt Fishlegs or the others. The others so they won't hurt him. But all day and every other day, he will never kill a dragon. " What will he learn if he's not killing any dragons?" Fishlegs asks worried. "Simple, how to defend himself against them. Training a blind to kill is stupid. Seeing the battle is useful. Hiccup doesn't have that. So you will meet me here early to train for defense after that. You train hard with Gobber and Gothi, Hiccup." Astrid yells "Dragon training will be fun once we have it because I'm trying you with the best of my abilities to be the best warriors and group but that's individually past my extremes so the winner will have a public first kill.".  After that everyone got Hiccup. They locked all the gates and opened the Gronckle with determination in their eyes. Hiccup did what he was told with tears in his eyes. The helpers don't notice but Gobber does. It stings like nails to him. They were impressed, " They are the first to train together in decades.".  They kill the Gronckle with no mercy. "For once, I'm going to complement you Hiccup. Your strategies are great." Ruff says smiling. Fishlegs noticed that he was crying a little. "Thanks" Hiccup writes in the sand covered in blood. Astrid is skinning the dragon. She walks back to Hiccup carrying the scales " Can you make armor out of these?". Astrid stares. "Yes I can but it's going to take at least two try's. For who?" Hiccup writes sadly to the notice of only Fishlegs. " Fishlegs." Astrid says smiling.  Hiccup nods. He grabs the scales with not expression and heads to his workshop. The helpers go down to the arena with Stoick wearing no cloak now. " You all have done, great for even not starting the Step. So with my great pleasure I open the entire captured dragons to you" Stoick says smiling. The gang wants to scream with joy. Astrid's plan works. They will enter the step in scales of their enemy.
