Chapter 1

This is Berk boasting the kind of balmy fun in the sun climate that will give you frost bite on your spleen. The only upside is our annual holiday. We call it Snoggletog, why we chose such a stupid name remains a mystery. But with the war long over and dragons living amongst us, this year's Snoggletog promises to be one to remember.

(Hiccup's POV)

It had been a few months since Toothless and I battled the Red Death and life on Berk had never been better. Astrid and I have grown closer as sisters, Dad and I are finally talking to each other again. And best of all, I have the best friend in the world. Toothless and I can finally be together and not have to worry about being found out by any one. We can finally be a family.

I was asleep in bed a few minutes before dawn when I heard the roof shake and a familiar howl. I opened my eyes and pulled the blanket over my head.

"Come on Bud, just once let me sleep in." I groaned.

But again I heard the howl and crawled out of bed. There was no waiting him out when he wanted to go flying.

"Okay, okay. I'm coming." I groaned as I sat up in bed. I reached for my helmet and placed on my head before climbing out of bed.

I let out a yawn when I got outside and looked up to Toothless looking down on me bright eyed and bushy tailed as ever.

"Well good morning Mr. Bossy." I greeted.

Toothless let out a croon that sounded like a laugh. I mimicked him as best I could.

"Do you always have to wake me up so early to go flying…ahh!" I exclaimed stepping on a slippery sheet of ice.

I was about fall when I felt Toothless catch me on his head. I regained my balance and stood in the powdery snow.

"Stupid leg." I murmured. Toothless crooned at me in concern. "No thanks Buddy, I'm okay. Yeah we can go flying now." He then belched at me. "What! Ew, what augh, Toothless." I whined. Within minutes, I had the saddle in place and we were up in the air.

It been only a couple of months since Toothless and I defeated the Red Death and the terms of my bond with Toothless were met. So I was safe from turning into a dragon and could no longer understand dragons, but that didn't stop me and Toothless from being the best friend each other could ever have. We understood each other from our facial expressions, mostly through our eyes. With Toothless, it's like his eyes told you everything you needed to know. Same thing with mine when I would talk to him. It's like that even though the Dragon's Bond is gone, we still have this magical link between us.

We were flying high up into the morning sky with Toothless showing off again. But it didn't bother me because I got to be part of the action, and I was excited to see what he could really do.

"Come on! Let's see what you've got today!" I called at the height of our climb.

We dove from the height of it and at the last moment, pulled out of the dive. We came to a familiar rock formation in the middle of the ocean. We had been practicing a certain trick for a while and it always ended the same way with me stranded on the top and Toothless in the water. But this time, I was confident we could make it.

"Okay, you ready?" I asked unhooking my flight vest from the saddle. I then unhooked my metal leg from the stir-up. I could feel Toothless flapping harder to stay air-borne. "Easy," I encouraged. At the last second he bucked and I flew over the formation and back into the saddle. "Yes, finally." I cheered.

(Narrator's POV)

The village was all a hustle and bustle with everyone getting ready for the winter holidays. Dragons and their riders were setting up decorations here and there, children were playing with ornaments and decorations, others were playing with other dragons on the ground.

A big wooden tree stood in the middle of the plaza. Not quite done being decorated, but still big and beautiful all the same. You had never seen a more peaceful holiday since the war.

"By Odin's beard Gobber, Vikings spending the winter holiday with dragons! What would our fathers say?" Stoick, Hiccup's father, said with a chuckle.

"They'd think we'd lost our minds." Gobber, Hiccup's mentor, replied back with a big grin on his face.

"Well done, well done all of you." Stoick announced turning to the rest of the village. "I'd never thought I'd live to see this day, peace on the island of Berk. This will surely be the greatest holiday we've ever seen."

The village applauded back celebrating until a strange call was heard from over-head.

"What the…?" Stoick asked looking up.

"What in Thor's name…?" Gobber asked back.

All at once the dragons started taking off leaving everyone wondering why.

"Where's Hiccup?" Astrid asked out of concern for her sister.

(Toothless's POV)

We were just heading back to the island after another amazing flight.

"What do say Bud, you wanna go again?" Hiccup asked looking down at me.

A shriek caught our attention. I could tell Hiccup was trying not to panic. We managed to swerve and stir clear of any on coming dragons but one of them came to close.

"Oh no my helmet!" I heard Hiccup cry out. I looked down and saw her helmet plummeting to the sea. I dived down after it.

"Toothless! No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Whoa, whoa, whoa wait Toothless stop." Hiccup called out to me.

Rather reluctantly, I complied. I knew how much that helmet meant to her so why was she stopping me from getting it back for her?

"We'll get it later Bud. We need to get back and find out what's going on." Came my answer.

I stared at the ocean for a minute and turned around heading back to the island. When we got there, almost all the dragons were gone. Hiccup jumped off and ran to meet her sister.

"Astrid!"

"Hiccup, what's going on, where are they going?" came her questions.

Suddenly Hiccup was surrounded by worried villagers all of them over-whelming her with the same related questions. I was about to get in there and get her out, by her father beat me to it.

"Calm down! Giver her a chance to speak!" he called above all the loud and over lapping questions. "Hiccup where are all of our dragons going?" he asked himself.

Hiccup looked up at her father just as lost as the lot of them. "Dad, I don't know."

I knew what was going on, but Hiccup couldn't understand dragon any more so I couldn't tell her or any of the others. All I could do was watch and that severely irritated me. Hiccup needed my help and I could do nothing to help her.

"Aren't you coming?" I heard from behind me. I turned to see the Nadder Hiccup's sister had called Stormfly hovering behind me.

"No. I have what I wanted here on the island. Watch over the others in my place for now." I instructed as she flew off.

I turned and saw Hiccup looking at me with a look of guilt in her eyes. 'Why do you look so sad Hiccup? We are about to celebrate our winter holiday together isn't that what you wanted?' I thought as I walked over to her.
