HTTYD Easter Special, Chapter Three
Hiccup had survived an exploding dragon, a lightning bolt to the head, and even several bolas, but nothing prepared him for a reptile mother's aggressive affection. She clutched the Night Fury and boy to her chest, spinning with glee and tossing them into the air as a man would toss a toddler. Hiccup's head spun faster than the rest of his body; he was still strapped to the saddle, and Gris's limbs were like muscular tree trunks wrapped around his chest. He thanked the gods that her long talons didn't claw them.
OH MY FURY, I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW OFTEN I WATCHED THE SKIES AND FEARED THAT YOU HAD PERISHED! I DREAMED SO O

HTTYD: Ch.2 - Who's that?
The training arena was once a place full of fear, blood and strength. A place where slaying dragons was a normal and daily thing, but now the dragons and Vikings have made peace with each other and the arena is now used for Vikings to train and find out more about their dragons.
Hiccup and Fishlegs stood in the middle of the arena, the Book of Dragons was under Hiccups arm. Toothless was sat against the walls with Meatlug, enjoying their relaxing time whilst their riders geeked out.
Megan flew in on her Skrill.
"Sorry I'm a bit late," Megan said as she climbed off.
"It's no problem," Hiccup said, walking over to her with Fishlegs.

HTTYD: Ch.1 - Welcome to Berk
The cold blue waves crashed up against the sides of three wooden ships as they rode in on the tides of Berk. Each ship was filled with Vikings and though they may look scary, they definitely came in peace. These ships not only had Vikings on them but all sorts of other things, from live stock to draws filled with clothing and household items, and it was surprising that the Vikings hadn't kicked off from being over crowded. They had to remain calm this time, as they were moving.
Gunnar the Great, chief of the Orran tribe, had been friends with Stoick the Vast since they were young, and despite eventually moving away from each other they kept

How to Court a Dragon Prince, Chapter Fifteen
Although I wasn't told to, I kept on listening for the sounds that every object made, weapon or not. That was easy when watching the guards practice combat or when reading in the study, but Toothless had to guide me when I attempted to walk with closed eyes. The walls and pillars rewarded me with hard bumps, and the triplets presented me with tripwires in every doorway. I soon gained a few lumps and stern lectures to watch where I was going.
One time I even stumbled into the bear room, and when no one told me to get out, I spent time exploring the different carvings. They each bore a feathery CC.
Curious, I asked around. Maudie said she had

The Scottish royalty and smithy routine closed around me like a jeweled collar. Even though Toothless and I had free time in the hours before dawn and after sunset, the queen seemed determined to divide my days into useful educational fields. Her husband and daughter would instruct me in archery and fencing, the former of which I failed miserably at, and then I'd be ushered to lunch and afternoon lessons permanently stained my fingers with ink. In the evening, Morgan would dump weapons into my skinny arms, count out credits with a grimace, and lambaste all Vikings for their murderous raids and callousness.
I'd wipe my fingers clean, mutter r

After lunch, Toothless was sent back to the stables as I went into the castle for my first lesson with the queen. Maudie came to take him. I guess people had noticed she felt more comfortable walking with Toothless. Queen Elinor also arrived.
"This way, Hiccup," she said. We walked up the stairs to the chambers Toothless sent a concerned look, but Maudie stroked the back of his neck. He relaxed.
"I'll be fine, Toothless." I nudged my head at the rooms. "That's where everyone goes for resting and reading."
He understood and turned to walk outside. The triplets trailed behind him, looking as if they wanted to hang onto the long tail. Toothle

Sun danced over the courtyard stones. A small crowd had gathered to watch: Morgan the grizzly blacksmith, the triplets, Maudie and several of the maids. Merida stood to the side, practice sword in hand. I knew it was a practice sword because she made a point of telling me. The blade passed from one hand to the other as if it were a duck feather; when she tossed one to me, however, I reeled. The thin blade was HEAVY.
Toothless watched the swinging blades with wariness. Like me he saw the potential for a slipped sword or an accident. Not that I suspected Fergus; childlike excitement enveloped him as he flung his ax Bear-Biter as a wooden targe
Alvin had waited for this moment, to see Stoick's boy knocked down and restrained, to see that defiant expression challenged. No witty comebacks this time, no brilliant backup plan. Just a shove to the ground, a twisted left arm, and Hiccup was helpless. It helped that they had restrained the Night Fury, looping ropes around the thick blue neck. Alvin had been careful this time to allow for no escapes.
"I don't understand," Hiccup shouted as one of Alvin's men forced him to his feet. "How did you do this?"
Alvin maintained eye contact. "Good things come to those who wait, son. I ought to know."
The boy still struggled, although the larger

"This is my fault," Hiccup repeated. "This is all my fault." He was still scrubbing the dragon's blood from his hair and face. They had taken the prosthetic off his leg so it wouldn't rust.
Nor was he the only one; his father had found a large trough in the Great Hall for cleaning up anyone who had gotten caught in the dragon's blood. Several Vikings had set up a bathing station in a pair of empty stables, mainly for the boy. Several old blankets served as a screen for modesty. The twins had protested, but their dragon had grabbed them by the necks and tossed them into the water. Ruffnut had to climb out anyway. She had glowered at the Zippl

Spring. A time when flowers appeared on Berk for the first time in months, Bog Roses that could actually be plucked in their season. The chickens had hatched extra eggs in celebration of the sprouting colors and Eos Week. Few actually carried out the dancing with flowers and distribution of seed, but Berk found a use for their sudden bounty.
"Hey, I found one!" Tuffnut held up a painted object, face and hands smeared with mud. His helmet had gained several scratches and stood at an off angle.
"Give me that." Ruffnut yanked the purple egg from him. "You need to wait for them to rot before breaking them. Otherwise it's not fun."
