This is the story of a young boy named Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III.
Nobody could've expected that there was more to Hiccup than what he was known for.
His father, Stoick the Vast, harbored feelings of shame about him in secret, he was used as a form of persuasion by the village if they didn't join their chief in the search for where the dragons' nest was, but Hiccup soldiered on.
It wasn't long before salvation came, though not in the form of a person. It was a dragon, but not just any dragon.
When the mystical Night Fury took him under his black leathery wings, providing solace to the boy and protecting him from further harm, he was ready to leave the isle, and take on a new identity of his own with the help of the dragon, whom he dubbed 'Toothless'.
Now, he stands as a figure associated with dragons, when he learned those who attacked Berk were forced to raid or die by a tyrannical queen of the nest known as Red Death, the parasite that his grandmother, Cressida Haddock, dubbed 'the Bane of Queens'.
It's a disdainful, spiteful title given to her for the ways she killed dragons by devouring them if they didn't bring enough food to feed her in the volcanic hive that they all resided in.
Before long, he - alongside many of his newfound allies, will rise up to destroy this very monster whom she, herself, claims to be the destruction of all opposition that threatened her, and restore not only the freedom of the flock she controlled.
But end the war, between both Vikings and dragons, that've been in conflict since the Isle of Berk had first been settled on, three hundred years ago....
