    Summary

    "Exile still seems the best option, Stoick..."

    Stoick should have known better. While he didn't know much about his son-especially now-he knew the boy was clever. It should have been no surprise when a guard burst into the Council Meeting and revealed that Hiccup had escaped the cell Stoick put him in...hours after the boy was revealed to have saddled a dragon.

    Hiccup is gone, and so is the beast.

    They search, but do not find him. Berk falls asleep one night and awakens in the Great Hall, where the torches come to life and cast an image of their isle on the wall, from which floats Hiccup's voice, years younger.

    AKA, Hiccup forfeited the final challenge, leaving Astrid with the right to kill the Nightmare. Story picks up in the Race to the Edge era, except Berk never learned the truth of dragons, no one knows how Hiccup really lost his leg, and stories of a hooded 'vigilante' riding a Night Fury have been long whispered...and Berk will see it all unfold.

    Stoick the Vast and Berk watch How to Train Your Dragon...and beyond.

    Summary

    Hiccup couldn't do it. No matter how he looked at it, being chosen to kill the Nightmare as the victor of dragon training had backed him into a corner, and without either sacrificing Toothless or himself, he saw no possible way to change the minds of the Vikings of Berk. The moment he went out there, he'd either be killed by the dragon (since he knew he couldn't bring himself to kill it), or strung up and tortured, then either executed or shipped away as an outcast/possible slave for having gone 'mad' and 'betraying his people' to side with the dragons'.

    It wasn't fair that the dragons were so misunderstood, and it was even worse that Vikings were as stubborn as they are...

    So he saw no choice but to leave.

    "Take me away from here bud. We can't stay any longer, and I already made up my decision. I can't risk losing you. We'll just have to... We'll just have to take on the Queen ourselves. And pray that Astrid doesn't tell my dad first, otherwise there's going to be a lot of bloodshed..."

    Toothless only gave a small croon of empathy, before taking off into the night. Unaware of the journey about to take place.
