Headcanon: On Berk, the name Grimborn means Grimbirth. A name given to babies that were difficult to birth, resulting in the death of the mother.
It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, tradition states that the child is cursed and should be sent to sea.
If they’re not cursed they’ll live. If they are. . .
Viggo Grimborn introduces himself to Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. The infamous leader of the dragon riders. The legendary dragon master.
He expected many reactions. Fear, horror, anger. But never pity.
The word Grimborn leaves his mouth and the dragon masters tense stance, face contorted in anger, relaxed slightly to allow traces of sorrow and empathy show.
It made him angry.
He became angrier when the dragon masters had the confusing habit of calling him “grimbirth”. He could understand if it was a taunt, but the word came out choked, like it was a struggle to say.
Viggo never comes to learn this until he’s staring at Hiccup Haddock, dragon rider, dragon master, and the young man that saved his life.
Viggo should’ve died. There’s no way he should have survived that night. But the dragon rider was determined.
Now, they’re an alliance. It’s weird. Viggo’s sure Hiccup feels it too. But they’re an alliance, and Hiccup is helping Viggo integrate dragons into his villages culture.
One late night, as they brainstorm ways to get dragons and (previous) dragon hunters to coexist. Viggo asks why Hiccup calls him “Grimbirth”.
The young man stares him in the eyes and says something he knows logically, but could never know in practice.
