78. "The story, on how Hiccup Haddock got on the Inner World"

"Well, it is gonna be a little bit long so take some breath. Well, I could still recall what the old king of this city told us about 175 years ago", He said, looking up in recalling about his memories 175 years ago - Wait what?! 175 years old? How did King Ruben lived in such an age like this! He is terribly bluffing about this. I quickly jolted my head to him in shock, jaws dropped eyes widened.

"Wait what!? King Ruben, let me make it clear what you said: you are recalling the memories that the old King told you 175 years ago?! ", I asked him, really exclaiming in shock as the other men also gasped in shock. The gang jolted their head on King Reuben, same as me, jaws dropped eyes widened. King Ruben only gave a chuckle at us and spoke.

"Yeah, we the people here on Agartha can live for about 300 years old, we don't know how did we live for such a long age but our older ancestors said that we always evolve in time. But the narrowed cause of this is still unknown", He said, as we all grinned in surprise as Agarthans really could live by about 300 years old! Now that is a pretty long lifespan. King Reuben chuckled again as we all grinned.

"So, I should continue telling the story? ", He asked, insisting us if he wants us to tell us about ths story of Hiccup Haddock, we are pretty interested about this because Hiccup didn't tell us about this. I am not mad about this because Hiccup maybe wants to focus on my journey first, maybe fate destined me for this. We wouldn't know, it is beyond our reach, so let's see what comes next.

"Of course, King Reuben, if you insist", I said, motioning my hand in order for him to start, I smiled a little bit at this, as King Reuben finally started his story about how Hiccup Haddock got on the Inner world. We all leaned our head and readied some snacks aside (Yes, I'm serious), listening carefully about every word that comes out from his mouth. As he took a huge breath and cleared his throat before speaking, he fixed himself and finally spoke.

"Well, I'm sorry if this is a little bit on my memory, but I hope you appreciate this story that I said. I know you know about Hiccup Haddock the Third a lot of him right? ", He asked us, as we all nodded happily as he asked that, being amused about how did he know about Hiccup Haddock, but he was a little kid on tgat time to be precise. So I still listened about it and never asked a question.

"Okay, let me start.....

The story begins....

(Note : Italic words without quotation marks are King Reuben speaking, while the Italic words with quotation marks are us speaking. Italic bold is King Reuben's grandfather speaking)

Well, I was a little kid as my grandfather told me about this, I still adore my grandfather until now, he died about in the 1940 where the World War starts. My dad went out the city to the overworld, but as he went there, I waited for 4 long years for him to return. But he never returned back on this world. Some say he was abducted by some humans - well not you Dennis, but maybe some facility that they have built on the area.

Then, it gave me a thought about it for a while, the facility that we've broke in as we entered the main entrance! As I spoke about this on King Reuben, and turned to the gang.

"Wait, is that the facility that we've broke in as we all entered the military base on the entrance? ", I asked the gang, looking at every one of them, as they all nodded simultaneously at me and got a thought about it.

"Yeah, that was the facility. Well, I noticed a structure that resembles a experimentation facility, maybe that is the place that they brought your grandfather", Dusty guessed, as he pointed out on me and thought about the structure that had been located on the near explosion last time where I threw a grenade, maybe that's why they ordered all men to put the fire out because that facility, was an experimental faculty for all the species on this place! But how do they collect all of it? I didn't want to talk about those military brutalities, I only focused in listening to King Reuben.
