Hiccup was in this white, blurry place. He found himself unable to focus on his surroundings, beyond a lit fire pit and a long bench. Unsure of what to do, and feeling surprisingly peaceful, Hiccup sat on the bench, wondering what purpose the place could serve.

The sounds of faltering footsteps jolted Hiccup from his thoughts. Looking up, he found an old man, with long white hair, approaching slowly. His footsteps were slow and methodical, but he clearly required no aid.

"Ah," the old man smiled, the many lines on his face crinkling with a smile, "You must be him."

"Who are you?" Hiccup asked, unsure.

The man's smile turned into a smirk that Hiccup thought was familiar, "You'll understand soon, my boy. I've been sent by the gods to warn you?"

"Warn me of what?" Hiccup demanded.

The old man's eyes softened, "Tomorrow."

Hiccup jolted awake, his heart hammering in his chest, and unable to breathe.

-iccup?

Hiccup wildly looked around, unfocused eyes finally landing on a concerned looking Toothless. Toothless's eyes were wide with worry.

What? Hiccup replied breathlessly,not quite being able to pull apart the dream he'd had and the sudden onslaught of reality.

Are you okay? You didn't seem to be very comfortable.

I'm okay. I-I think I just need to take a quick walk and drink something. I'll be back to bed in a bit. Don't wait for me.

Toothless still looked worried, but he nodded and curled back up near Hiccup's bedroll. Hiccup untangled himself from the blanket, and carefully passed his sleeping family. Once he was far enough away, Hiccup sat down hard on the ground.

What was that? Hiccup asked himself, rubbing his temples. That didn't feel anything like a normal dream. Hiccup couldn't figure out what was worse: the vagueness of the old man; the shortness of the dream; or the horrible, spine-tingling sense of unease the word tomorrow gave him.

Hiccup brushed his hair away from his eyes, and looked up into the stars. After absent-mindedly thinking a prayer to the various Norse gods, Hiccup asked:

What are you trying to warn me about?

That morning, Addie immediately knew something was wrong with Hiccup. He looked tired, and didn't seem as excited about being outside of the archipelago. In fact ,he looked rather anxious, but Addie couldn't figure out why.

The flight out of the archipelago was harrowing, but it always was according to Valka and Hiccup. They had exited the archipelago at a point where there was a sizable island nearby, to allow everyone to rest after the flight. Setting up camp had gone smoothly, finding dinner had never been so easy, and the glade that Valka had chosen was comfortable. In all, the camping experience couldn't have been more than perfect.

Now, though, Hiccup seemed troubled for no reason. That was something Addie knew didn't happen; if Hiccup was worried, there was always good reason. Looking to Stormfly, Addie knew the Nadder had noticed something was off too, though knew better to say anything.

Valka was starting the fire so Rohan could cook a quick breakfast for the group, while the rest of the dragons seemed perfectly content to stay where they were and soak up the first rays of sunshine.

Hiccup was leaning against Toothless's side, his eyes closed, apparently enjoying the sunshine as well. However, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his lips were downturned into a small frown. Addie twirled a long lock of blonde hair around her finger, and tried to put the uncomfortable feeling deep down in her chest to the back of her mind.

Less than an hour later, the group was ready to set out, and Hiccup seemed less upset than before. Addie hoped that Hiccup had resolved whatever had been bothering him, and put aside her worry. She double-checked Stormfly's equipment, and helped everyone else pack up and make sure everything was squared away for them to leave.

"Where are we going?!" Rohan asked excitedly, seated comfortably in the saddle.

I don't know. Hiccup replied. Pick a direction and I'll follow.

Rohan looked at his sister, then pointed southwest, the exact opposite from where the archipelago lay, "This way work?"

Valka let out a laugh. Of course! Onto new adventures!

Onto new adventures! Hiccup echoed, and he and his family took off, flying high into the bright, clear skies.
