Chapter 1: Years later.

It's been two long years since we were banished, since Astrid was killed in that final battle we had against the villagers of Berk, and since Toothless and I have been alone. I sat in the same cave we found the day before Astrid and Blaze were killed and Toothless lay on the damp ground snoring. I dug in my pocket and pulled out the headband Astrid had given me the day she died. I sighed and thought, 'I should have been there when you were hit by that bolder, and I could have taking the hit. At least this way you'd still be here.'

I placed the headband on my head, not caring that it made me look girly. I sighed as if I could feel Astrid punching my arm again. I looked over to Toothless and saw he was having a harder time sleeping now and I knew why. He missed Blaze as much as I missed Astrid. I walked over to him, scratched him behind his ear and said, "I know buddy, I miss them too."

After hearing Toothless begin to snore again, I leaned against the wall of the cave and slept as best as I could.

Violent from the sun peered into the cave and woke us both up. I looked at Toothless and said, "Want some fish buddy?"

He snarled and walked away. Lately he's been lagging. Not eating, not wanting to fly and I've been getting worried about him. I followed him outside the cave and said, "Toothless, it's been two years, we both have to get over the face that Astrid and Blaze are gone." I petted his head and continued, "I don't like it anymore than you do pal."

Toothless dragged his front claw towards me and moved it away, revealing a tooth underneath. I looked at Toothless and asked, "Is that one of Blaze's teeth?"

He heaved a heavy sighed and I got the hint. Before Blaze died she gave Toothless one of her teeth just like Astrid had given me her headband. Toothless snatched the tooth away and protected it like it was Blaze. I sighed and said, "You could keep the tooth, I really don't care, but eat something."

Toothless reentered the cave and took a fish, gulping it down and then continued to stare and protect the tooth. I looked to the heavens and whispered, "I don't know if you're in Valhalla Astrid and Blaze, but I want you both to know Toothless and I miss you both." I looked at Toothless and continued to whisper, "Toothless mostly misses Blaze and I mostly miss you Astrid."

I walked over to Toothless and tried to pet him. He growled, took the tooth and moved away from me. I sighed and said, "Alright buddy, I'll leave you alone for a while."

I sat in a corner and thought about Astrid.
