Although this is the part of the story that the bards tend to focus on as the bit where Hiccup was particularly heroic, I do not agree. It is a lot easier to be brave when you know you have no alternative. Hiccup knew in his heart of hearts that the Monster intended to kill them all anyway. So he didn't have a lot to lose.

"Once I loved truly and my heart paid the price.
Now let me love truly, Thor, let me love TWICE."
Isn't fate artistic?
Thank Thor you live in a time and a place where people have the right to live and think and write and read their books in peace, and there are no need for heroes anymore...
And spare a thought for those who have not been so lucky.
