24. Did I Mention That the Past Has a Way of Catching
Up With Us Eventually .....................................................................
THE STORY SO FAR
There were dragons when I was a boy.
Those were the first words of the beginning of
this story.
Once there was a boy named Hiccup Horrendous
Haddock the Third, who lived on the little isle of
Berk with a hunting-dragon called Toothless, and a
riding-dragon called the Windwalker, wild and happy,
in a world full of dragons.
Hiccup was the son of Chief Stoick the Vast,
and the most unlikely Viking Hero you could
possibly imagine. A skinny runner bean of a boy, who
was nonetheless an awesome sword-fighter, and a
Dragonwhisperer, one of the few people who have
been able to speak Dragonese, the language dragons
speak to one another.
One dreadful day, Hiccup accidentally released
a great Seadragon called the Dragon Furious, who had
been chained in the terrible forest prison of Berserk
for over a hundred years. The Dragon Furious began
a Dragon Rebellion that aims to kill the entire human
race, and the humans and the dragons are now fighting
each other to extinction.
The dragons have set fire to the little Hooligan
village where Hiccup grew up, and the humans have
been driven out of their houses and are now gathered
on the island of Tomorrow, waiting for the Final Battle.
There is only one thing that can save the humans
now. A new King of the Wilderwest must be crowned
on the island of Tomorrow. Once the King is crowned,
he will be told the secret of the Dragon Jewel, and this
secret has the power to destroy all dragons forever. But
a King can only be crowned if he has gathered together
the Kings Lost Things, ten objects that have been
scattered across the Archipelago and lost for a century.
Over the course of eleven exciting and long
adventures, slowly and painfully, Hiccup Horrendous
Haddock the Third has gathered the ten Lost Things
together, with the help of his best friends Fishlegs
and Camicazi, an ancient old Seadragon called the
Wodensfang, and a beautiful three-headed riding
dragon called the Deadly Shadow, that can camouflage
itself so effectively you think it is invisible.
But the wicked Alvin the Treacherous (the clue
is in the name, really) has stolen all of the Lost Things
from Hiccup. Alvin is on the island of Tomorrow right
now, and he is about to be crowned King. If Alvin is
made King, he will use the power of the Dragon Jewel
to make dragons extinct forever.
Everybody believes that Hiccup is dead, shot
through the heart by Alvin the Treacherouss Warriors,
but in fact Hiccup survived, and is lying unconscious
on the little beach of Heros End, an island a little way
from Tomorrow.
But Hiccup has no riding-dragon, no boat and
no Lost Things. And only the one with the Kings Lost
Things can land on Tomorrow and live. If Hiccup
sets one foot on the beach, the Dragon Guardians of
Tomorrow will rise from beneath the sand and carry
Hiccup up into airy oblivion
This is a dreadful predicament indeed.
Today is the Doomsday of Yule, the day of the
Final Battle between dragons and humans.
There is only one day left now, for Hiccup to
become the King of the Wilderwest, and to save the
dragons.
One day more
CAN HICCUP SAVE THE DRAGONS?
THE WORLD NEEDS A HERO
It was the darkest hour that humanity had ever faced,
and a terrible doom had come upon the Archipelago.
Once, not so very long ago, these little green
islands had been bustling and full of life, with a cosy
little village nestled on every hilltop. Now, those same
villages were blasted all to smithereens, and even the
scorched hills themselves had great bites torn out of
them, mountainsides up-ended, rivers re-routed, trees
turned upside-down with the sap weeping out of them,
and great gouges in the face of the earth caused by the
raking of angry dragons.
The smoke of the burning villages and the
flaming of the forests had combined with the early
morning mist to create an eerie fog, out of which
the Dragon Furious and the numberless forces of
his dragon army gathered in Wreckers Bay loomed
spookily like ghosts. The majority were still sleeping,
waiting with half-closed eyes and hungry talons for the
Final Battle between the dragons and the humans.
It was Doomsday, and the world needed a Hero.
Not just any Hero, but a
Hero who could change the
course of history.
And there were those
abroad, even now, very
now, in the palest hours
of earliest morning on the
Doomsday of Yule, who
were out there looking for
one.
Two young Viking
warriors, a boy and a girl, were
sitting on the back of a beautiful
three-headed Deadly Shadow dragon. Both
had ruins and rags for clothes. They were far, far from
home, these young Warriors, for the tornado howl of
the dragons war had flamed their sweet safe homes
into ash, and tossed them in the air, and blown them all
away to be scattered to the four corners of the earth by
the wild winds of the Archipelago.
Only a Hero could save them now, and they were
both afraid very, very afraid although the girl was
pretending not to be.
The girl, a ferocious little Bog-Burglar with hair
so tangled it was as if it had been whipped up by a
whirlwind, leaned over the side of the Deadly Shadow
dragon, crying with fierce
desperation into the dense and shifting
fog:
Hiccup? Hiccup? Where are you, Hiccup?
Hiccup, where are you???
The boy who sat beside her was called Fishlegs.
He was a raggedy spider of a boy, with burnt curly
hair, and smashed glasses perched lopsidedly on his
nose. Hiccup is dead, Camicazi, he said quietly, with
a weary resignation. Everyone knows he is dead. They
even saw it happen
He is not dead! replied the little girl, angry
because she was frightened. I refuse to believe he is
