A/N: So, I just finished watching HTTYD3 yesterday, and it was bittersweet to watch. Also, at the end (Warning: SPOILERS AHEAD), we see that all the dragons of Berk retreated to the Hidden World for their safety. This led me to ask the question, "Are all the dragons really gone? Or were the only ones to go were the ones who were in Berk?". I say that only the dragons in Berk disappeared due to the fact that in the series, there were dragons like the Speed Stingers (who can't fly), the Buffalord (who can't be taken too far from his feeding grounds) and the Eruptodon (who protects the Defenders of the Wing). If they can't leave, then they're certainly still living their lives above ground, aren't they?

Yes, I know, the AN is so long, but please bear with me. This story is more of an epilogue, and will mostly focus on the lives of the next generation, while still featuring all the lovable characters we have all come to love.

Disclaimer: HTTYD is obviously not mine, but I wish I lived in that universe.

Chapter One:

Despite the number of years that have passed since the dragons of Berk returned to their ancestral home in the Hidden World, there were still days when Hiccup would climb on to one of the cliffs overlooking the vast ocean that surrounded New Berk, and reminisce on what Berk's life was like when dragons still lived among them. The sun was setting, and his eyes glazed as he watched the scene before him. He wondered briefly if his old friend, Toothless flew over the clouds occasionally to watch how life was like above ground again.

Over the horizon, he knew that the entrance to the Hidden World was there. As much as he wanted to reunite with his best friend, the dragons were all safer where they were. After the incident with Grimmel the Grisly, the attacks from Dragon Trappers have seized and the people of Berk could finally focus on building their new home without worrying for their lives. As Chief, it was his responsibility after all to assure the safety of his people.

The sky was now a deep orange and it wouldn't be long before the night was upon them, he knew that it was time to go back. He knew Astrid was very adept in handling village matters in his absence, but he wanted to return to his family while there was still a bit of daylight present. It was a long way down, but he still had his 'wings', and It would take him only a few minutes to get back down to the village.

There was a grin on his face as he expanded his wings. Flying will always be his favourite past time, with or without dragons. He jumped of the cliff with his wings fully stretched out and glided above the sea of trees until he landed on the familiar path to his village.

A couple of villagers who he passed by on his way to his home greeted him jovially as they went about in their daily activities. Since it was almost night time, some of the villagers were already lighting the torches spread across the grounds. He smiled at how at ease all of his people were. The location of New Berk was considerably larger and richer than that of Old Berk. The fish was aplenty and the trees were so thick that there was an abundance of lumber used for construction of new buildings.

He was finally a few feet away from his house when he finally saw his children, Zephyr and Nuffink playing some type of tag game, while their arms were extended away from their bodies as if they had wings. His children never saw dragons in the entirety of their short lives, but they grew up with plenty of stories on how great the dragons were. Their bedtime stories were all about stories of the Dragon Riders, and the games they played with each other, along with the other kids in the village always involved dragons in whatever capacity.

"Zephyr is pretending to be Stormfly, while little Nuffink is Toothless," Astrid said mirthfully as she approached her husband from behind. She put an arm around Hiccup's waist and snuggled closer to him. This earned a chuckle from Hiccup as he put a protective arm across her shoulder.

Zephyr finally saw that her parents were standing to the side, watching them play. She grinned at her parents as she ran towards them, Nuffink following closely behind, unaware that their parents were observing them play.

Zephyr, being the more outgoing of the siblings, jumped when she was a few inches away from Hiccup, expecting that her father would catch her. And catch her, he did. Nuffink who noticed it a bit late that he was running into his parents, wasn't able to stop and instead ran into his father's knew which caused him to fall on his bum.

Being the slightly timid and younger of the two children, Nuffink's lips started to tremble. An early indication that he was about to cry. Before he could do so, Astrid kneeled on one knee so that she was level with her youngest child.

"Are you okay, Nuff?" she cooed to her son. A lot of people didn't think that Astrid was a 'doting' kind of person, but motherhood brought out a softer side to her personality. She was still the fierce warrior that everyone thought her to be, but she was the ever caring mother as well.

Trying to control his tears, Nuffink nodded as he tried to stand up on wobbly legs. The minute that he did so, Astrid gathered him in her arms and carried him as she stood up.

"I think the two of you had a pretty exciting day?" Hiccup asked his children. He really did enjoy raising children.

Zephyr nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, Daddy. I was pretending to be Stormfly, but I don't think Nuff was being a good Toothless" the girl pouted, clearly unimpressed with her playmate.

Nuffink, who obviously didn't like the fact that his older sister was displeased with the way that he pretended to be toothless, stuck out his tongue towards her and snuggled closer into his mother's chest.

'Play nice, children" Astrid playfully chastised the two. It was a fun for both Hiccup and her to watch as their children interacted with each other. Being the only child of their respective parents, they really had no idea how siblings treated each other. Since in the Dragon Riders, only Tuffnut and Ruffnut were the siblings that they spent most of their time with, they didn't think that it was really the golden standard since the twins had such 'colorful' personalities.

"Hey, Astrid?" Hiccup whispered.

Astrid turned to her husband, quickly glancing at his beard and appreciating the fact that it worked well on him. "Yes, Hiccup?"

"What do you think about sailing towards the World's edge?", he asked her, an excited glint in his eyes.

After the dragon's returned to the hidden world, Hiccup never even tried to visit the gateway to the hidden world again. Although he yearned to catch a glimpse of his old friend, matters in the village always kept him busy. Being a chief, and settling in a brand new place gave him enough things to do that he seldom had time to go on a voyage for long periods of time.

"Do you think we'll be able to see them?" she asked. It wasn't a question on whether she wanted to come along or not, it was understood that she was on board with his idea. The only thing she worried about was if they took the trip, and there wouldn't be anything to see. After all, it had been a decade since they parted ways with their winged partners, what were the odds that they'd be there at the entrance, waiting for them to visit.

"I don't know, but maybe the fates will be kind. Right?" Hiccup answered her, a loving smile on his face.

Astrid wrapped her arms tighter around Nuff who was starting to doze off in his mother's arms, "I can't wait." She grinned up at him.

Hiccup sighed in relief, clearly grateful that Astid was excited as he was with his idea. Maybe he could bring a few tools of his just so he could do maintenance on his old friend's tail if they happened to see each other.

"Tomorrow then," Hiccup announced.

Astrid nodded at this, and she stood up on her toes a bit to give her husband a quick peck on his lips, "Tomorrow it is."
