Ch1 The Boy from Berk

It was a sunny day in the Highlands of Scotland with a cool breeze coming off the ocean which was calm that day. Above it the blue sky was dotted with only a few clouds when suddenly a black streak shot by, the black streak turned out to be a dragon. The dragon was jet black in color, obviously a Night Fury, with greenish-yellow eyes. What was different from most dragons was he had a mechanical fin on his tail that seemed to be attached to a saddle he was wearing on his back and there was a boy sitting on the saddle. The boy had dark auburn hair with green eyes and was wearing dark green pants, a green tunic that went to his mid-thigh, a brown belt where there looked to be a small knife, and a riding vest. The thing that stood out on him was that while he had a typical Viking-style boot on his right foot his left was a spring-loaded prosthetic leg that fit into the stirrup on the dragon's saddle. His name was Hiccup, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III to be precise, and he and his dragon friend Toothless seemed a perfect fit for each other. Normally he would have been in his home the Isle of Berk but today he'd been sent by his father, Stoick the Vast, as a messenger to the kingdom of DunBroch.

"I wonder what this is all about buddy," Hiccup said to his friend.
Toothless gave a sound that seemed to say "I don't know" in return.
He let out a sigh, his father had told him that he was to go to DunBroch and find someone named Fergus to relay a message but beyond that he didn't know much else. He had no idea where Fergus lived or what to expect when he reached the Highlands, after all he knew that a good portion of the Vikings in his village distrusted anyone outside the village and especially anyone from Scotland.
Toothless gave a growl shaking Hiccup from his thoughts, looking down he saw they were over a forest which hopefully meant they'd found the right place.
Hiccup patted his friend's side, "Ok buddy, take us down."
Toothless smoothly changed direction and went into a nose dive.

Landing in a small clearing Hiccup slid off the saddle and looked around, well it was definitely a forest. Toothless sniffed around then headed off as if on the trail of something.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, where do you think you're going?" Hiccup asked trying to follow him but not knowing the layout of the forest they quickly got separated. "And now I've lost my dragon again. How do you even do that?" he questioned himself with a defeated sigh as he walked. Just then Hiccup heard a light airy sound almost like a sigh when he looked around he noticed something glowing a little ways from him and went to investigate. As he got closer he saw it was a small blue floating light that almost looked like it had a face and was beckoning him closer, before he got close enough to touch it though the light disappeared, "Okay, that was weird." Suddenly an arrow shot by Hiccup's head, "Gah!" He ducked out of the way and also managed to fall over a tree root at the same time. "That hurt," he muttered trying to get up.
"Are ya alright?" a girl's voice with an obvious Scottish accent called out to him.
Fate is something you must be brave enough to find inside you but what happens when it throws something in your way, like a dragon. When a certain Viking from Berk meets a Scottish Princess from DunBroch they find a connection they didn’t expect. Can their strange friendship save both their lands from the threat of war or will everything and everyone they love be destroyed?


*Note from Author*
Hello all this is my attempt at a HTTYDxBrave crossover, I’m basing the HTTYD people off the movie cause I’ve yet to read the books though I want to. Don’t hurt me! *hides*

I decided to write this cause after seeing both movies I think Merida and Hiccup could be great friends if not a great couple so this is basically what I think would happen if they meet, also may have RuffnutxWee Dingwall. I should mention that this takes place after the events of both HTTYD and Brave. Yes I know Brave is probably 10th century and HTTYD is 11th but it’s my story so I’m going to say they exist at the same time and are about the same age like 15/16{cause they look around that age to me anyway} though Merida would probably be a few years older then Hiccup in real life. xP Oh and some parts will be written with the help of my eldest niece who is about 7 ½ right now and has seen both movies more times then I can count. xD She’ll be giving me ideas for things she thinks would happen and I’ll be bouncing ideas off her cause I want to try and keep this in the same spirit that HTTYD and Brave have that makes everyone but especially kids love them. I hope you enjoy the story and feel free to leave a comment. :} I own nothing but the idea/story I write, all characters and worlds belong to their respective creators. <3
