72HI! I am snowed in at the moment so I've got all this time to type, so I find myself doing that in abundance. So we get another chapter posted so close to the first one. I can't promise I will always post like this because I am a busy college student, but I will try to keep updating regularly.
Disclaimer: Once again, I do not own anything that has to do with How to Train Your Dragon. I can only claim my brain child Zyenna.
FADE IN:
EXT. NORTH SEA/VILLAGE – NIGHT
We skim above a dark, wild ocean. The camera turns toward a lone island, Berk. It is a gigantic shard of rock jutting straight out of the water.
HICCUP (V.O.)
This, is Berk. It's twelve days North of hopeless, and a fewdegrees South of freezing to death.It's located solidly on themeridian of misery. It's a place like no other. A place or wonders… and daemons…
Stoic frowned, his eye full of sadness and wonder as he heard his only son's voice. While the teens grinned despite the depressing air around them, Hiccup always had a way with words.
The camera drifts over rolling hills to reveal a smallvillage nestled on an outcropping of sea mounts.
HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D)
My village. In a word, sturdy. And it's been here for seven generations, but every single building is new. It really does get annoying at times, the remodeling is laborious work…
Everyone laughed, no one liked to rebuild all the houses after the old raids.
The camera drifts closer, circling.
HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D)
Of course, we have fishing, hunting, and a charming view of the sunsets. The only problems are the pests. You see, most places have mice or mosquitos. We have...
Sheep graze peacefully on a hillside. Suddenly one is snatched.
CUT TO:
INT. STOICK'S HOUSE – CONTINUOUS
A door is pulled open... as a monstrous nightmare swoops directly toward it, spraying fire. The door is slammed shut. The fire shoots through the slats of wood, illuminating HICCUP.
HICCUP
...dragons. These are not the daemons I keep referring to, they are much harder to spot seeing as they hide in plain sight. Only, I seem to be the only one who notices them. They just showed up several years ago, everyone else says they and their families have always been here, but I find glairing holes in their family histories. It makes no sense, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
Astrid stifles the urge to cry out, having already figured out that the Hiccup on the wall could not hear her. She let her eyes take in his image hungrily, her ears swallowing the melody of his voice.
Next to her, Stoic couldn't stop the flow of tears going down his face, though neither could Goober.
EXT. STOICK'S HOUSE
He reopens the sizzling door, as leaps off of the front porch. He weaves through the erupting mayhem as Vikings pour out of the buildings, ready for a fight.
(I was tempted to leave it here but I wont….)
More dragons swarm in, setting rooftops alight and hauling off sheep.
HICCUP (V.O.)
Most people would leave. Not us. We're Vikings. We have stubbornness issues.
Vikings sound the alarm. Viking men and women pour out into the streets, axes in hand.
ON HICCUP darting through alleys, staying under eaves, making his way through the battle.
HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D)
My name's Hiccup. Great name, I know. But it's not the worst. Parents believe a hideous name will frighten off gnomes and trolls. Like our charming Viking demeanor wouldn't do that. I would hate my name if it wasn't for the fact that my mother picked it out. As you can see, I'm the runt of the village.
Stoic frowned. He and Valka had named him Hiccup as was tradition, because he had been the smallest baby born in his age group. They had named him that in hopes that he would grow strong, like the Hiccups of the past did… 'didn't they?' He paused to think, but found of some reason he could not remember the stories of the Hiccups of the past. He tried harder, but for some reason could not remember the specific reason why Valka had been so persistent to name there son Hiccup.
Dragons sweep back and forth, dodging axes and blasting the Vikings who throw them. A burly warrior gets tossed in an explosion, knocking Hiccup to the ground.
VIKING
Arggghhhhh! Mornin'!
Everyone chuckles, the particular Viking on screen blushing in embaressment.
Hiccup gets to his feet and continues to rush past gigantic men and women.
HICCUP (V.O.)
Meet the neighbors. Hoark the Haggard...
HOARK
What are you doing out!?
HICCUP
... Burnthair the Broad...
BURNTHAIR
Get inside!
HICCUP
... Phlegma the Fierce...
PHLEGMA THE FIERCE
Get back inside!
Each of the Vikings on screen grimaced at how harsh they had sounded. The frustrated and tired look on Hiccups face he ran past them being something they had not seen at the time.
HICCUP
. Ack.
He passes a silent ox of a viking, picking his ear.
HICCUP (CONT'D)
Yep, just Ack.
Hiccup smiles to himself as he runs past the Viking, only to get grabbed by a black looking tentacle and dragged into an ally. He looks up, not in alarm but in frustration. Sticking out of the wall in front of him is a black face, the tentacle like hair being the culprit that pulled him to the ally.
HICCUP
I will pay you after the attack, as we have agreed. Now let me get to the forge or your end of the deal will be broken.
He said this almost scathingly, the head nodding before disappearing. Hiccup drags himself to his feet and races out of the all, and straight into his father's grasp.
Well, this chapter not quite as long but I felt that this was a good placed to stop. So I did. Gosh, this take a lot of time to do.
I just wanted to say thank you to Wayfm14 for your review, I had an interesting idea so I had to write it. Its gonna start off slow, as you can see but it will get interesting very fast.
Also, to the random person, as I stated above, my story has just begun. There is more to it than meets the eye. There will be gory scenes later, and it is because of the bloody gory scenes to come that I rated M. I gave you a peak in this chapter at the scary aspect of it. It seems tame at first but… it will be horrifying. I assure you…
Thank you two for reviewing. I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter. I'm going to do my best to get another chapter out to you as soon as I can.
Remember to Review please!
Later
