Dear Astrid,

If and when you find this I will be gone. Do not come looking for me, for I will not be of this realm. I am terribly sorry that this is how you'll find this out. I would like you to know that you were special to me, but the events of the last few months made me realize that I do not belong here. I just wish that things happened differently. Then I wouldn't be writing this letter. If you wish, my house is your's. Do with it what you will.

Please also inform my father that I was too weak to send this to him instead of you.

If my body is found please tell my father that I wish to have my funeral on the pond in the cove that I found. Please make sure that on my pyre that the cloak and Toothless' skull are along with me.

That is my final request.

I'm sorry.
