The Elder had just sealed the Nightmare's fate, along with his own. The Ring was filled of people cheering him on, while his father looked on, overwhelming pride on his face. However, some (**cough*Astrid*cough**) were cursing his existence, quite literally. The scrawny boy in the middle of the Ring blanched, a single thought kept replaying in his mind.

'This cannot be happening! I must be dreaming! No, no, please no!'

However, before anyone moved to congratulate the young teen, a bright light surrounded the Dragon Ring. From it emerged a young woman, wearing blue jeans and a baggy sweatshirt. She had long, curly red hair and excited green eyes, just like Hiccup's, the scrawny boy mentioned earlier. All at once, Vikings were screaming questions, firing them off one right after the other. The mysterious woman raised her hand in the air, and at once, there was complete silence.

"Now, I know you all have many questions, but let me introduce myself first. My name is Harper and I come from a place that is unknown to you and won't be discovered for many more generations. Although, that is not why I came here. I am here to show you a mistake you have all made, and have been making for many generations. So if you would all follow me..." And with that, Harper had disappeared.

Many Vikings just stood there in shock. Then all at once, questions were being fired off, as if they were bullets. The chief tried to get their attention more than once, but it was futile. Then,... "QUIET!" came out of no where. Everyone quickly quieted down.

"Thank you, Gobber," said Stoick. The blacksmith only nodded. "Okay, now that I have everyone's attention... I know everyone is confused and scared, but I believe the best possible solution would be to follow her and see what she has in store for us. Does everyone agree?" Many nods were seen, but few were still confused at what had just occurred."Okay then, follow me to the Hall." Just like the others, Hiccup was confused, but curious to see what was in store for them.

As they entered the Great Hall, they noticed the furniture was moved around to half of the room, facing a giant screen on the north-side of the building. As everyone found a seat, the screen lit up and from the shadows, Harper's voice boomed.

"Welcome everyone! I have asked you all here today to watch something. This video includes the harshness a young man has dealt with all his life, and the adventures he has been on since he made a different kind of friend, one who has also been shown much of the same harshness, for he is the last of his kind." As she was saying this, she was looking directly at Hiccup, who was sitting near the back, so it could not be deciphered by the rest of the village. At this look, however, Hiccup was dawned in realization. 'She knows about Toothless! I need to get out of here and find him.' His breath hitched and became shallower, causing many to look in his direction. He hastily avoided their gazes.

She turned to face the rest of the Vikings. "Now, I would like to invite our other guests into the room, so please don't freak out." Hiccup immediately tensed. He had a sinking suspicion that he already knew who the other guests were.

He was right.

Suddenly on the other half of the room, a huge door slid open out of seemingly no where and in slithered and crawled every single dragon that had once "graced" the shores of Berk, including those in the Dragon Ring. On instinct, all Vikings big and small, reached for their weapons only to realize they did not have them. Quickly, many Vikings moved backwards, including Stoick. Only one Viking was still standing near the creatures, and was slowly inching closer, as if looking for something.

All of a sudden, a black blur raced out of the huddle, racing towards Hiccup. Many of the Vikings put the younger ones behind them at the sight, and many older Vikings shrunk back as well. Stoick and Gobber took a step forward, Stoick trying to scream for his son to run, but he seemed to have lost his voice as terror took over. The Teens had also taken a step forward, ready to help their new "friend". But before anyone could do anything, the blur had Hiccup pinned the floor. Everyone froze at what they heard next, dragons and Vikings alike.

Hiccup was laughing.

"Toothless! You know that doesn't wash out!" laughed the young man in the middle of the room. The Nightfury on top of him stopped and plopped down on top of him, forcing all of the air out of his lungs. No one moved, for the shock from what they were seeing had not worn off yet. The (second) most feared dragon in the land laying on top of the outsider of the village. They seemed to be playing as if they've known each other for all their lives.

Harper's voice rang out in the midst of the laughter. "Toothless, Hiccup, I know you are happy to see each other, but we really need to start the movie." Both of which in question looked up and smiled sheepishly at the girl looking down at them, amusement in her eyes. Toothless settled down in the middle of the room with Hiccup laying on him. Toothless swept his tail around Hiccup, as if he were protecting him from everything and everyone in the room. The Vikings who were still standing stared in shock, some sitting down and staring blankly at the screen, but Stoick, Gobber, and the Teens were still staring at the boy and his Nightfury who were laying on the floor. "If everyone could take their seats," Harper asked, "we can begin." As the rest of the Vikings and dragons settled down, the screen started to move, noting the beginning of the movie.
