What if Hiccup had never shown Berk the truth about dragons? What if he was chased off instead of leaving on his own? Can he survive in the wild with Toothless? Or will he go wild himself?

Hiccup has been bullied, rejected. Then he meets Toothless and runs away to become the renowned Dragon Master. After five years, he has been forced to return to return to Berk and face his past to fight back against Drago.

Berk's only heir is dead - killed by a Night Fury who took his body with it. But they can't wallow in their grief - they're Vikings. So they stand tall and continue on. But then the food runs out, taken by raiding dragons, and Berk, on the verge of death, comes before the infamous Dragon Chief, a man said to have the ability to control dragons. The Dragon Chief reluctantly agrees to help, but Hiccup and Toothless may have bitten off more than they could chew. Please enjoy my unedited story!
