"Oh, ugh ew! I'd rather be kissed by a dragon!" Hiccup groaned, turning over in his sleep. Valka, who had been about to wake him, made a weird face and woke him up.

"What was that about?" Valka asked, chuckling softly. Hiccup sat up and sighed.

"I dreamt Astrid was kissing me again. I mean, seriously! If I had a girlfriend again it'd be so much easier."

"Erm, why, laddie?"

"I could kiss her and get rid of the idea." Valka laughed and left the room, leaving her son to get dressed. Hiccup got dressed and went down to breakfast, planning something in his head.

"Hey mom?" Hiccup asked as he ate his breakfast.

"Hm?"

"Can I go on a trip? You know, just fly for a trip for a month or so? I need to go somewhere, I've been trapped here for a while." Valka looked at her son and nodded.

"Go ahead. I'll pack the supplies you need and myself and Gobber can take care of affairs in Berk for three months. I suggest you try flying north; it's said that there is a magic mountain in the northern part of the kingdom of Arendelle." Hiccup's eyes lit at this, and Valka knew where Hiccup would be going.

In half an hour, mother and son stood outside, Hiccup ready to leave. Valka handed him a satchel with provisions and hugged him.

"Be safe, son." She murmured, and Hiccup hugged her back. He slung the satchel over his shoulder and got on Toothless, disappearing within seconds.

"Alright bud, let's see how fast we can get to this north mountain." Hiccup said, rubbing his dragon's head. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them...

"Anna it's just for a few days! I'll be perfectly fine!" a young woman cried, tightening the cinch on her white horse.

"But Elsa you could get hurt! You shouldn't go alone." another young woman, almost identical to the first young woman except for the fact that she was one inch shorter and had red hair, said, grabbing the tall blonde woman's arm.

"Anna, I'll be fine. I have ice! And you know we've been working together on sword fighting for three years now!" the blonde woman, Elsa, slung her bow over her chest, and tightened the horse's saddle bags.

"Look Elsa," the red-haired woman, Anna, grabbed her sister's hands and made her look at her.

"I know you want to go explore Arendelle's woods and hills since you didn't get to when we were young. Just promise me you'll be careful." Elsa smiled gently and hugged her sister.

"I promise." She whispered into her shoulder, then stood away and mounted her horse. "I'll be back in two weeks." Elsa promised, looking down at her little sister.

"Go have some fun!" Anna smiled, and Elsa turned her face to the open barn door. She touched the horse's sides with her heels and the horse shot forward, galloping quick as the wind. Elsa leaned forward, encouraging the horse to hasten it's step, and she sped out of town, away into the hills and onto adventure.

"Come on girl, come on!" Elsa encouraged, and the horse, Windflight by name, sped forward with renewed vigor, feeling the blood pulse through it's veins. Elsa cried out in joy as she felt the wind whip her face and flow through her hair, and they galloped over a huge field filled with wild cotton and herbs, Windflight's thundering hooves echoing on rocky walls.

"Whoa girl." Elsa slowed Windflight down to a walk, and looked around the green woods she was in. It was a pleasant, clean forest with a clear running brook and singing birds. She pulled out a map and studied it as Windflight walked rhythmically.

"This place doesn't have a name girl." Elsa told her horse. "Let's name it, shall we?" She tapped her chin and hummed, searching through her mind for a suitable name.

"Crystal Creek Forest. How's that, girl?" She said, and Windflight nickered agreeably. "Very well. Let me write that down." Elsa pulled a charcoal pencil from a pouch at her side and wrote it in. Suddenly Windflight jolted and reared in fear, simultaneously with a huge tree crashing down in front of them.

"Oh my..GOSH!" Elsa shrieked, grabbing Windflight's withers and regaining her balance. She stuffed the book/map and pencil back into her pouch and turned Windflight, galloping away as quickly as she could.

"Whoa, that was..exciting!" Elsa panted, slowing Windflight to a smooth jog. "What in the name of ice and snow could have caused that tree to fall?" She wondered, then shrugged and signaled Windflight into a smooth, fast canter, passing over a creek and slowing to a walk over one mountain.

At night, Elsa and Windflight camped in an ice cave that sheltered them from the strong mountain winds. Elsa ate a rabbit she'd shot and skinned, while Windflight feasted on a mound of clover Elsa had picked for her, and now Elsa leaned against Windflight, who'd laid down behind her.

"Look Windflight. There's the snowflake constellation I saw the night I ran away." Elsa murmured, and traced the constellation with her finger, pointing it out to herself. She rolled over, rubbed her horse's nose, and fell asleep, slowly closing her eyes to the soft cold breeze that drifted through the cave opening.

Hiccup and Toothless had stopped in the woods Elsa had named, being tired, and camped in a cavern behind a waterfall.

"Wow, this Arendelle, sure is fruitful in everything, huh bud?" Hiccup spoke to his dragon, who warbled agreeably. Hiccup looked over at Toothless, and saw him curl up and sleepily close his eyes, indiscreetly hinting that he wanted to sleep. Hiccup chuckled and said,

"Oh fine. You did eat about a hundred fish." Hiccup curled up underneath Toothless' wing, pulling his fur blanket over his shoulder and falling asleep promptly, soothed by his dragon's deep purring.

Okay, next chapter WILL be more exciting! I promise.
