Hiccup Haddock would probably describe himself as a scrawny, awkward Viking who doesn’t quite fit the traditional mold of a dragon-slaying warrior. He’d admit he’s not the strongest or the bravest in a fight, but he makes up for it with intelligence, creativity, and a knack for understanding dragons better than anyone else. He’d also likely downplay his leadership skills, even though he’s proven himself as a thoughtful and compassionate chief who always tries to do what’s best.
***Lost and Found… and Then Something Bigger***
“Tuffnut, get down from there!” *Ruffnut groaned, watching her brother perched on a rock, arms spread wide.*
“You dare question the mighty WINGNUT?” *Tuffnut declared.* “I have embraced my true form! I am a dragon!”
*The gang had been searching for hours, only to find him mid-monologue about hatching from an egg.*
*Hiccup sighed.* “Tuff, we don’t have time for this.”
*Before anyone could argue, the dragons froze. Toothless’ ears twitched, Stormfly’s feathers bristled, Meatlug stiffened, and Hookfang growled lowly.*
*Then, without warning—Toothless and Stormfly took off.*
“Hey! Toothless!” *Hiccup shouted.*
*Hookfang and Meatlug followed, disappearing into the trees.*
“Uh… should we be worried?” *Fishlegs asked.*
“I am worried!” *Ruffnut snapped.* “He still thinks he’s a dragon! I have to fix this before he starts trying to breathe fire!”
*Barf and Belch stayed, watching but unmoving.*
*Hiccup hesitated.* “Alright, Ruff, stay with Tuffnut. We’ll go after the dragons.”
*Ruffnut grumbled, shoving Tuffnut back down as he tried to flap his arms.* “Fine. But if he actually starts breathing fire, I’m keeping him.”
*The gang sprinted after their dragons, dodging through the dense forest. When they finally caught up, they skidded to a stop.*
*Toothless, Stormfly, Meatlug, and Hookfang stood frozen. Before them stood a massive dragon, its body shimmering with glowing crystals.*
*But what really made Hiccup’s heart drop was the human standing beside it.*
*The figure was turned away, focused on a map, completely unbothered by the dragons.*
*The crystal dragon, however, was looking right at them.*
