Complete!!!Hiccup was always a nuisance to the vikings on Berk. He was viewed as a runt, a shame, and a screw up. That all changed when he became the top of dragon training, and finally gets the chance everyone thought he only dreamed of. To kill a dragon in front of the entire village.Stoick was proud of his son, he had almost lost hope in him. Now, he proved everyone wrong, or so they thought.Hiccup wanted nothing more than to have this chance his entire life! However, that was before he met and bonded with Toothless, a night fury he had shot down weeks ago. Now, he wanted to escape, but not without attempting to convince the vikings that dragons weren't the real threat. He thought his monstrous nightmare match would be the perfect setting for such a feat.When things go sideways, when Toothless saves Hiccup, he has a choice, stay and try one last shot of convincing Berk, or flee with his best friend. He chooses the best option, he flees. Now, he is branded as a trator, a renegade. Stoick practically disowns him and he is never heard from again.five years later, Berk hears mighty tales of a grand hero who rides a night fury. Many call him 'Night Rider', 'Dragon Tamer', and 'Mysterious Rider'. Many doubted that this hero could be their traitorous ex heir to the Berkian leadership. After all, he was described as having a prosthetic leg, very tall, confident, and extremely buffed, while Hiccup was the opposite of all these descriptions. But... why then, has this new hero never visited Berk? And what will happen when he finally dose?Feel free to comment! I will also edit things I want everything to be amazing. If you catch an auto correct moment or anything that is an eye sore let me know please!I don't own any HTTYD franchise. there willl be some Hicstrid moments, but it will mainly focus on Toothless/Hiccup brotherhood. Yes, Valka will make an appearance and it will cover HTTYD 1 and 2.…

Don't expect any item or material thing to provide you true happiness or meaning in your life. At the time of writing this poem I was beginning to learn about philosophical thinkers in Ancient Greece in many of my classes in undergrad. This poem was inspired by the Hellenistic thinkers, specifically the Stoics and the Epicureans. These two schools agreed on the notion that the goal of philosophy is to metaphorically transform yourself into the archetype of the Sage. To the thinkers at the time, this meant to be in accordance with your being fully, or in other words to fully actualize your potential. However, after this small agreement, the means by which this was impossibly acquired was different for each school of thought. The Epicureans achieved this unachievable state by trying to remove as much desire as possible for the things which one need not desire. To live life to it's minimal. A life in which one only desires what is necessary for survival can allow one to be truly happy, or in the words of the Epicureans: to rival even the happiness that the God's possess. The Stoics, on the other hand, probably agreed that it is good to remove that which causes us pain. However, they acknowledged the unpredictability of the world around them. Given this (and many other reasons), the stoics did not see a removal of destructive desire and pursuit of simple pleasures as enough to combat that which we have no control over. The Stoics saw the pursuit of moral virtues such as courage, wisdom, and moral fortitude as a means to achieving the impossible perfection of their being. Seneca, an early Stoic philosopher, stated that the main difference between the Stoics and the Epicureans is that the Stoic sage feels his troubles and overcomes them, while the Epicurean sage does not feel them at all.This poem came after much deliberation on pleasure, happiness, and what it means to me to be happy.…
