Hiccup's POV
"Hiccup, I have to," Astrid pleaded as she brushed hair off his face.
" I am not letting you go alone. Please." Hiccup replied.
"No. This is a solo quest. Berk is not going to risk losing another chief." She pulled him in for a quick kiss, one that was soft but passionate, and mounted on Stormfly. "I'll come back. I promise." She patted Stormfly on the head, and they took off.
"I can't risk losing you," Hiccup thought. He watched as the two slowly faded into the horizon, no more than a speck. Tears poured down his eyes. Even as chief, he had no say in what Astrid did. She was the leader of the two of them. So when she overheard that Drago's heir was planning to carry on the whole "Dragon Army" thing, she was determined to get some inside information. Hiccup insisted on going with her, but everyone, even Valka, made him stay. After all, as chief, he had more responsibilities than time for adventures. He looked up as the speck disappeared.
"Good luck Milady. Stay safe..." He wiped his eyes and mounted Toothless. Toothless took flight, and hovered over the cliff for a minute, as if Hiccup forgot to do something. Taking one last look, Hiccup gestured to Toothless to take of.
"Promise that you'll come back," he whispered. "I love you." Toothless then soared back towards Berk, in the ever-so darkening sky.
