It's of Viggo hugging Ryker and that's literally all I know

This is the only screenshot or proof that I know it exists

Thank you 3stopper3 on TikTok for this beautiful edit by the way

Ryker had a son, but he died, and it was part of what disqualified him from being considered "chief material" in their tribe's eyes

Warning for non-descriptive child death.

Essentially, Ryker was not really interested in any of the women from his tribe so his grandfather sent him away on a vouage of sorts to "secure more land" (really, it was because he already favoured Viggo, but Viggo was a few years younger, and he wanted Ryker out of the way while he came of age so Viggo had a better chance of securing more poltical power) However ryker did actually end up meeting a woman he liked. The two of them returned to the hunters to get married. His wife soon giving birth to his son

Ryker was really insistent on her and their son joining him on hunts, to instil the dragon hunting mentality early. Due to that insistence, they were often put in dangerous situations, and one time, rather publicly, Ryker's son was killed by a Monstrous Nightmare, with Viggo also getting injured in that attack and earning a neck scar in the process. Ryker was shoned as a reckless fool, whereas Viggo was praised and hailed as a hero willing to put his life on the line to save his nephew, though unsuccessful.

After that, Ryker's marriage soon dissolved in her eventually leaving, but even to his last days, Ryker can't help but ponder how "perfect" that whole incident was for his brother. His brother, a man who avoided most hunts, just happened to be there in the line of fire, his son happened to be killed outright, yet Viggo, surely the more immediate threat, escaped with only a scar, his grandfather was ready to make Ryker the public fool to his tribe.

(Hiccup is actually Viggo's son AU in Ryker's pov)

Ryker doesn't think he's seen Viggo look more angry at someone in his entire life, other than right now with the way his brother is looking at Stoick The Vast. Ryker has never seen him lose his composure this badly in front of anyone, Viggo is physically holding himself back from killing the other Chief.

Just walking in on whatever was currently going on, Ryker surveyed the scene in front of him to see if he could figure out what exactly had made his brother down right pissed. Viggo and Stoick where having a stare down both had their hands on their weapons as more of a warning. Though by the looks of things he wouldn't be surprised if things got violent, the thought shocked Ryker because Viggo preferred his words to his weapons. Hiccup was sitting on, surprisingly, Viggo's side of the table that was in-between the two chiefs, both of their chairs had been knocked to the ground. He had a look of pure shock mixed with relief maybe, Ryker wasn't sure, on his face as he stared down at the table. And that's when he saw it, sitting innocently in the middle of the table was a necklace, the chain looked new, obviously replaced, but the pendant was well worn. Ryker couldn't stop his eyes widening as he noticed that it was their tribe's symbol engraved onto the metal. It was a birth necklace, he realised with a growing horror as everything slowly clicked into place. It was tradition that every newborn got a necklace with their tribe's symbol, a way of protection, to help the child remember who home was.
