The others widened their eyes in fear before scrambling away, running home. Hiccup reached behind him and pulled out his sword. Why was he standing up for her? He was the complete opposite of her. "Leave her alone!" A voice said from behind her.Īstrid turned around to be faced with.the chief's son, Hiccup? She'd leave forever and none would be the wiser.
Astrid felt like crawling up into a ball and hiding herself away forever. You're probably scared of your own shadow." The other mocked. Vikings are strong, fearless and kill dragons. "Look! The wimps gonna cry!" One cackled, holding their stomach in laughter. They were friends ever since the day Hiccup helped her from some kids who were picking on her.Īstrid whimpered as the other children continued to make fun of her, pointing out her flaws. He went everywhere with his sword and yet, despite their differences, they were the most inseparable human individuals in all of Viking kind. He was by far the warrior with the most potential on the small island, even if he was just five years old. He was the chief's son, Stoick the Vast and was the heir to the throne. But there was one thing that made her excited to wake up every morning and run out her house. Astrid was never like that, we've made that abundantly clear. No one ever said it but she knew they blamed her too and that they would rather have her mother instead of her.Īll the other kids were dragon hungry, thrilled to start their dragon training and, one day, hopefully slaughter one themselves.
She blamed herself for her mother's death. Being the only child of two great warriors. Except it only seemed to pile on more weight on Astrid's shoulders. Her father was devastated by his wife's death but he was keen on taking care of their child. Her mother had died while giving birth to Astrid.
Her father looked down on her, disappointed with his only daughter. She preferred working in the Forge as Gobber's apprentice or on her inventions. She was teased, bullied and excluded by other children. It was probably easy to draw the conclusion she wasn't very popular on her home island, Berk.
