Thunderbirds/ HTTYD

chapter 1

This is Berk, its 12 days north of hopeless and a few degrees south of freezing to death. Its located solidly on the meridain of misery, its my home and has been for 7 generations, but every single building is new; we have fishing, hunting and a charming view of the sunsets. The only problem are the pests. now other places have mice or mosquitos, we have...dragons!

My names Alan, and well..I'm kind of an accident-prone, and wherever I go, trouble follows I quickly made my way through the burning village and running Vikings to Taylor's armory. He was my dad's best friend and apparently this is the only place where I can't cause trouble.

"Good to see ya alan" he greeted me, he was the only person in the village who treated me nicely, he had a prosthetic hand and leg but that didn't stop him from fighting. My mum was taken by dragons after I was born and the village was afraid another would disappear so basically the women avoided me. Anyway, there are about 4 other kids my age in the village only difference is they're out there and I'm in here well they were mostly in charge of putting out the fires in the village, but still.

first, there's Kayo Krayno, who's the daughter of Krayno who's our village healer.

There's Tintin who's totally the best (and best looking) in the entire village

there's Fermat, he's a shy boy and spends most of his time reading 'the book of dragons' which is our encyclopedia of dragons and our ace against them.

and then there's Penelope, one of the prettiest girls in the village and my brother; John's crush.

That reminds me, I have 3 older brothers; Scott, Virgil, and John. They're all amazing dragon fighters along with my father whose the chief, they've cast long shadows over me and I want to be like them but I'm not allowed in the village during a raid. I grabbed a bunch of weapons and started to sharpen them when Taylor pushed passed me.

"mind the forge Alan, they need me out there!" Taylor said to me and ran out screaming his head off, meanwhile I took this as my chance and take down a dragon and prove my worth in the village. I made my way through the village ignoring the Vikings comments telling me to get back inside.

A Nadder head will at least get me noticed. Gronkles are tough, taking down one of them will surely get me a date, a Zipple back? exotic two heads, twice the status, then there's the monstrous nightmare, only the best Vikings go after those, they have this nasty habit of setting themselves on fire, but the ultimate prize is the one no one has ever seen, we call it the...

"night fury!"

"get down" a shot of fire came out of nowhere and destroyed a cannon. This dragon never steals food, never shows itself and never misses. No one has ever taken down a night fury before, which is why I'm going to be the first. I aimed my weapon at the sky, waiting for my chance. Suddenly I heard the familiar screech of wind and a shot of fire at a cannon, and a black shape flying away. I took this as my chance and fired my weapon and I saw the dragon go down and land somewhere in the forest.

"yes! I did it! did anyone else see that?" I cheered only to find myself face-to-face with a nightmare "apparently you did" I ran and the nightmare chased me, suddenly the dragon was pushed away as my dad launched himself at it. The dragon then flew away but released the dragons we had captured. My dad then ordered me to go back to my house which was one of the few houses still standing. Taylor led me back and the villagers shouted mean things at me, but they had been doing that most of my life so I was kind of used to it, but I snuck out and went to the forest to find my dragon.

I wondered through the forest trying to find my shot down the night fury, I thought I found it but it was only empty space. I was frustrated, I was never going to come out of my family's shadow, I hit a branch in anger only to find it slap me in the face. I looked and saw that the entire branch was fallen off the tree and there was a tranch in the dirt I followed it saw the night fury, I quickly ducked hoping it didn't see me. I cautiously look over the rock and saw that it was trapped in the net, I walked over feeling victorious I placed my foot on its body only for the dragon to shrug it off. I suddenly realized that it was still breathing, I carefully made my way to its head and its eyes opened, its amber eyes staring at me.

I took out my dagger from my belt and held it above the dragon "I'm gonna kill you dragon" I said, trying to mask the fear in my voice "I'm gonna take out your heart and take it to my father. I'm a Viking! I'm a Viking!" I raised the dagger, but before I struck, I took one last look at it as it stared at me with a familiar look. I recognized that look, it was fear. I didn't know dragons could have fear. it then closed its eyes and rolled back, accepting its fate, I raised the dagger even higher but I couldn't do it. no matter how much I wanted to, I just couldn't. I moved away from the dragon about to leave but looked back, the dragon was still waiting for me to kill it. Without thinking I ran back to the dragon and began to cut the ropes binding it, as soon as it was free it immediately pinned me to a rock. I started to panic as I stared into its eyes, the eyes that no longer held fear. 'This is it' I thought closing my eyes, the dragon then roared at me, ready to kill; but to my surprise it then let me go and tried to fly off, only to land a few meters away. Still, in shock, I shakily stood up and picked up my dagger and tried to walk back to the village but fainted.
