Chapter 12
Everyone followed Alvin and his Vikings as they led them to the village. Nearly everyone was overjoyed to see other Vikings on this island; it made it feel a little less wild. Astrid, on the other hand, seemed more distracted by Stormfly’s sudden disappearance. With Hiccup’s arm wrapped around her shoulders, she provided him balance and strength when walking on the stump which used to be his artificial foot. As she guided him, she remained silent, but Hiccup knew that the disappearance of the dragon was still on her mind. He was not as concerned as she was; he assumed that this was the help that the dragon was talking about, and that the Mood Dragon was probably waiting for them back at the village. "Did I hear you correctly, that you’re from Berk?” Alvin asked Stoick, who was invited to walk next to him. “Aye, it’s a tiny island on the south-eastern edge of the Barbaric Archipelago. "By any chance, do you know the Viking by the name of Hiccup?” Stoick could not hide the shock on his face. “Yes, he’s my son.” He waved for Hiccup to join him up at front. Astrid helped Hiccup walk up to his father’s side; he was still having trouble walking on his broken prosthesis. He waved sheepishly, almost afraid of Alvin’s reaction to seeing how un-Viking-like he was. “This is my son: Hiccup the Horrendous. ” The look on his face said everything; he was expecting a full-sized adult, not a tooth-pick of a kid. “You? You’re responsible for killing the dragon queen and the Shadow Lord?” Snoutlout ran up and pushed Astrid out of the way so Hiccup could lean on him instead. “Hey!” Astrid protested! “He sure is, and I’m his older cousin!” Snotlout grinned in pride. Astrid pulled Snotlout away from Hiccup by the ear, nearly causing Hiccup to trip. She gave Snotlout a hard jab in the shoulder before rushing back by Hiccup’s aide. “Ow!” “Yeah, only by a season,” she grumbled. Alvin looked at the back of the group to see the Night Fury following them. “By the gods, it is you!” “Ah, and how do you know me, If I may ask?” Alvin let out a hefty chuckle. Hiccup notice how close it was to his father’s; it had that same powerful and authoritative tint to it. “The stories of your heroism have spread across the Barbaric Archipelago. Our village is a big fan of yours.” “Really? Fans?” Hiccup eyes lit up at thought of actually being popular for once. It was a nice change of paces to be liked from the beginning, after almost a lifetime of being scoffed at. “Yes, our children love to hear the tales of the brave warrior who rides on the back of a Night Fury. We’ve also adopted the dragons of our island as our friends; of course, there are a few mindless, carnivorous species which can’t be reasoned with.” “That’s to be expected. We’ve had our share of dragons like that,” Stoick replied. “In fact, our village was just recently attacked by a couple of them, thus the reason for our journey. We were on our way to the Visitnug Territory to request help and supplies so we can rebuild.” “And then the strange weather marooned you here instead,” Alvin put the last piece of the puzzle in place. “More or less.” “If you don’t mind me asking,” Gobber could not hold in his question any longer. “How came we’ve never heard of you? Everyone has thinks your island is forbidden.” “I wish I knew who started those rumors. I’d make them get pretty friendly with my ax!” Alvin replied. “We keep to ourselves, for the most part; this island provides us with everything we need, though we would prefer it if we had more visitors every now or then.” As they continued their journey through the forest, Alvin had stolen a few glances towards Hiccups cracked wooden stump of a leg. “It looks like you’re in need of new leg.” “Yeah, uh, we kind of had a run in with some hostile poison darters, and in all the commotion, I—I kindda had a mishap!” Alvin laughed. “Those beasts may be stupid, but they’re good at being a nuisance. I’ll tell you one thing, they do make great cooking!” The eyes of Stoick, Astrid, and Hiccup peered towards him, accompanied by looks of disgust. Alvin could not help but laugh at the expressions that they were giving him. “Relax, I’m joking!” Alvin laughed as they lighten up after realizing that they had fallen for his joke. “We have a blacksmith shop at our village and a Viking who is probably the best blacksmith on this side of the globe.” “Next to Hiccup and me, of course,” Gobber responded. He waved his artificial hand, which had his hammer attachment connected into it. “This, here, is my handy work. Just show us where the shop is, and Hiccup and I will build him a new leg that’ll make even a pirate jealous.” “I’ll let you and Viggor work that out,” Alvin replied. “Well, here we are; welcome to the Outcast Tribe!” The forest surrendered to a small, but healthy village that had a very similar feel to it as Berk. It was built at the foot of a giant volcano; it towered over them as a peaceful, sleeping giant. Though it looked like a small village, Hiccup was surprised by the number of Vikings he saw walking about. As they entered the village, people started to take instant notice of them. Curiosity of the new Vikings caused many to stop at whatever they were doing. They were not used to having visitors come to their village, so they had no idea what to make of this. “Listen up everyone!” Alvin spoke with such a thunderous voice that Hiccup sure that everyone in every part of the village could hear him. “We have visitors from another tribe among us today. Even more importantly… we have, in our midst, the one and only Hiccup the Horrendous!” Alvin pointed towards Hiccup, pointing him out to everyone in the village. Hiccup could feel the growing number of eyes on him. The expressions on everybody’s faces were as if they were seeing a ghost. When they saw Toothless enter the village with them, the realization hit them that this was for real. The Outcast Vikings started to gather around them, but most of them were more interested in meeting Hiccup. Young children, seemingly coming from nowhere, were gathering around Astrid and Hiccup, making it very difficult to walk. A large crowd of children had also gathered around Toothless. They were excited about seeing their very first Night Fury. Showing no fear of the dragon, the kids were excited to touch the dragon; a few even started to play around with his wings. The poor Night Fury had no idea what to make of these children. The dragon gave Hiccup a look as if to cry, “Please make ‘em stop.” “Like your village, we, too, have come to embrace the dragons as our friends. Because of you, young Hiccup, we get along with the beasts, and we no longer have to fear for our lives.” Hiccup was overwhelmed; he had no idea how befriending a dragon would change Viking traditions everywhere. He had been happy enough just to change Berk. Now, here he was on a strange island, surrounded by vibrant young children, who were not even afraid of a Night Fury. It was almost too good to believe. “I see you brought company,” A Viking said, walking up to his closest friend, Alvin. “Aye, that I did, Viggor!” All the young Vikings stared at Viggor in disbelief. “Can you believe this?” Astrid whispered to Hiccup. Hiccup could not reply; he was so stunned. Viggor was the splitting image of Gobber, except for the black hair. He even had peg leg and an interchangeable, prosthetic hand. The resemblance was uncanny. “I want you to meet Hiccup the Horrendous, the one and only,” Alvin stepped aside and guided his friend towards Hiccup and Astrid. “What this? You’re just a boy! From all the stories I’ve heard, I thought you’d be a wee bit bigger.” “Y—you’d be surprised how many times I’ve heard that.” “You’re just a toothpick… a twig even!” “Aaaand, I’ve been called that quite a bit too.” “You’re pulling my leg!” Viggor said, looking back at his friend to try to read his face and see if this was a joke. “Here is his Night Fury to prove it!” Alvin directed his attention to the dragon at the back of the group. The number of children gathered around the dragon had increased. Some were playing with his wings. A young child, barely at the age to walk, came right up to Toothless’ face and stuck her tiny hands into one of his nostrils. The dragon did not like that too much; he raised his head out of the young child’s reach and shook his head as he bellowed out with a sneeze. “Well I’ll be… I’ve never seen a Night Fury before.” “Viggor, the boy’s in need of a new leg. Maybe you can fit him with a temporary replacement until you can create a new one.” “Hmm, let me take a look at what we have here,” Viggor said. He scratched his chin as he looked down at what remained of Hiccups prosthesis. “I think I can whip something up.” “Just get him with a temporary one, and I’ll do the rest,” Gobber stepped up to Viggor, determined not to be outdone. “I built the last one, and I can very much do it again.” The two identical looking men inspected each other, and an instant competitive nature began to form in both of them. “Oh, you mean this is your work?” Viggor pointed to the broken prosthesis. “Better let the younger, more experienced blacksmith, like myself, handle it.” “More Experience? Ah, that’s a joke!” Gobber snarled. “Gobber, be polite!” Stoick ordered firmly, placing a hand on his shoulder. “We’re visitors to their home.” “Well, between the two of you, I’m confident something will be done. Right now, let’s make our guess feel welcomed. Tonight, we honor you to our village by throwing you a giant feast!” The Outcast villagers all cheered upon the announcement. Even Fishlegs joined in the celebration. He enjoyed the news so much, he could not hold back a tear. “I’m the happiest Viking in the world!”While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
