Eret was meditating within his chambers as his ship cut across the sea. He was sitting directly in front of a shrine with lit candles breathing in and out causing the flames on the candles to dim all right up.

Then his uncle opened the door. "The only reason you should be interrupting me is if you have news about the Avatar," said Eret calmly.

"While there is news, Eret," Bjorn admitted as he entered the room. "But you might not like, do not get too upset."

"Uncle, you taught me keeping a level head is the sign of a great leader. Now whatever you have to say, I'm sure I can take it."

"Okay then," Bjorn sighed, predicting what would happen next. "We have no idea where he is."

The moment the words exited from his mouth the flames on the candles erupted into a fiery tundra.

"What?" Eret roared as he turned on his uncle.

"Glad you're taking it well," said Bjorn calmly.

"Give me the map," said Eret snatching the map from him.

"There have been multiple sightings of the Avatar, but he is impossible to track down," Bjorn explained.

Eret looked at the map and could see the problem. The sightings were all in a zigzag pattern making it impossible to predict where he would go to next.

"How am I going to find him, uncle?" Eret sighed. "He's clearly a master of invasive manoeuvring."

At the same time Ragnar looked at Hiccup as they were flying across the ocean. He too was looking at them map of the current position.

"You have no idea where you're going, do you?" Ragnar assumed.

Hiccup sighed. "In fairness have never been to the North Pole and the only thing I know is that it's near water."

Tuffnut looked over Skull towards the vast ocean that surrounded them. "Guess we're on the right track?"

Hiccup looked back at Ragnar. "Look, as long as we keep flying north we should be fine. Of course we do need to stop every now and then to get supplies, it is going to be a long journey."

Ragnar nodded. "And I will be surprised that everyone in the entire world is aware that you have returned now."

Astrid nodded in agreement. "Meaning there's going to be a whole lot of Empire shift on our table now."

Hiccup looked at Astrid curiously. "You said back at the South Pole that you were Sigrid's daughter?"

Astrid looked a bit awkward. "Yes, I understand the two of you we're friends."

It was Hiccup's turn to be awkward. "You could say that."

Heather raised an eyebrow. "What are you two talking about?"

"Nothing," they said rather quickly.

Heather's eyes widened. "Wait, are you saying that Hiccup and your Mum used to date?"

Hiccup and Astrid blushed.

"Awkward," said Ruffnut with glee.

"Yeah, she was my age when we were dating," said Hiccup defensively. "Wasn't my fault that I was the Avatar and Drago tried to have me assassinated."

"You were one of the reasons she joined the resistance afterwards and that's how she met my father," said Astrid rubbing the back of the head. "She talked about you often, I think she still has feelings for you."

"Even more awkward," said Ruffnut.

Astrid narrowed her eyes at her. "Anyway, she was convinced that he was still alive and she sent me to try and find you."

"Well, I'll be sure to thank her if we ever meet," said Hiccup looking away at Astrid. He then saw an island in the horizon. "That looks like a good place to find our bearings."

"Agreed," said Ragnar and then he blew up close to Hiccup. "And a good way to change the conversation."

Hiccup narrowed his eyes at him. "Leave it."

Once they landed on the island they pulled out a madman to try to pinpoint the location.

"Hmmm," Hiccup frowned looking at the map.

"You got no clue where we are?" Astrid assumed.

"Well, we left the Southern Air Temple two days ago and were still a day out from the Earth Kingdom," said Hiccup as he started to draw lines on the map.

"Meaning that where anywhere within a hundred miles," said Ragnar folding his arms.

Hiccup sighed. "It will be easier to track opposition once we reach the Earth Kingdom."

Astrid frowned. "But we do run the risk of encountering Empire troops along the way. Before I left of the Resistance, I heard plans that the Emperor was pushing a massive push towards the capital."

Ragnar frowned. "Did they only try to make a go of the capital five years ago?"

Astrid nodded. "They did breach the outer wall, the commanding officer in charge then lost his focus and causing a massive retreat."

Hiccup eyes widened. "They were that close of reaching Meridia?"

"The Earth Kingdom was very close to losing."

"All the more reason to get a move on," said Ragnar looking at Hiccup. "The sooner you master all four elements the better."

"No pressure," Hiccup grumbled.

"We should keep moving, at this rate will reach the North Pole by spring," said Astrid.

"I agree," Heather nodded.

Hiccup rolled up the map. "Then let's get moving."

"One problem with that, we're shorter pair of twins," Ragnar noted.

Hiccup and the girls looked around to discover the first time that the twins were nowhere to be seen.

"Oh, you got to be kidding," Hiccup groaned.

"Let's find a before they get themselves killed," Astrid grumbled retrieving her axe.

They moved in closer towards the woods and found the twins completely knocked out and tied to a tree.

"Ruff! Tuff!" Hiccup yelled as they rushed over towards them.

"They've been attacked," said Astrid the firm grip upon her axe.

"But by who?" Ragnar asked grabbing his staff.

Then suddenly something struck him in the back of the neck. She pulled it out to reveal a dart and then she collapsed.

"Ambush!" Astrid yelled.

Immediately heading straight towards them were more darts. Ragnar was about to blow them away with his Air Bending, but someone jumped out of the trees and struck him on the top of the head knocking him out cold.

Hiccup quickly performs some Fire Bending burning the darts to ashes, but then bola's spirit towards him from his blind spot and wrapped themselves around his arms and legs. This leptin quite vulnerable to the darts and he collapsed.

Astrid turned in barely had time to raise her axe to block the attack from another axe wielding. It was then that she noticed that their assailants were in black leather and their bases were completely hidden in hoods and masks. Her opponent on the other hand was wearing a hood or cowl.

He had short red hair and was tied in a ponytail, he appeared to be about 25 years old and judging from the way he was putting onto his blade he was very strong. He also appear to be very fast as he quickly performed a leg sweep knocking her to the ground and he was the last thing Astrid saw before he struck her with the butt of his axe.

When they regained consciousness they found themselves tied around a pole in iron chains so they were in some kind of village. Standing in front of them was a woman in her 20s with short blond hair and she too was wearing black level like their assailants. Standing next to her was the man that they overpowered Astrid.

She also fixed them with a steady gaze. "You six have some explaining to do," she said with her hands behind her back.

"And if you do not answer all of our questions this village will be the last thing you see," said the man.

"Look I'm sure this just a terrible misunderstanding," said Hiccup.

The woman narrowed her eyes at him. "You are not permitted to speak, Fire Bender."

"Is a little contradictory?" Ruffnut asked.

"Yeah, you did ask him to answer your questions," Tuffnut nodded.

"Guys, however we try not to anger the people that took us out in just about 30 seconds," said Hiccup.

"Be silent!" the woman glared.

Hiccup then turned his eyes to Ragnar. "Rag, maybe you should do the talking."

Ragnar nodded. "It's like my friend says, I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding."

The woman narrowed her eyes. "How do we know that you're not Fire Empire spies?" Her eyes then trailed to Hiccup. "You were already travelling with a Fire Bender." She then looked back at Ragnar. "Maaike stayed out of the war so far and we intend to keep it that way."

Upon hearing that their eyes widened, because they recognise that name almost instantly.

"Wait, this island is named after Avatar Maaike?" Hiccup gasped. He then looked directly at the villages. "I know her."

The woman merely scoffed. "How could you possibly know my grandmother? My grandmother was born here a hundred years ago, she's been dead for centuries."

"Wait, she's your grandmother?" said Ragnar.

The woman nodded. "I am, I am Mala Maaikedotter ruler of this island."

"Then you should know that I'm the Avatar," said Hiccup.

"That's impossible!" said the man next to Mala. "He disappeared 35 years ago, you're a teenager."

"That's me," said Hiccup.

Mala looked at the man. "Throk, throw the impostor into the sea and have the Scauldrons eat him."

Throk and his men started to make their way towards them and they started to panic.

Ragnar looked at Hiccup. "Hiccup, do some Air Bending."

"I'll try," said Hiccup nervously.

There was a good reason for this, because while Hiccup had learned the fundamentals of Air Bending, he happened had the time to practice doing some actual Air Bending. He dug in deep and then jumped and soon found that he was jumping about 10 feet into the air and soon he was holding back down towards the ground.

Everyone's eyes widened as they stared at Hiccup.

Mala stared at him. "It's true, you are the Avatar."

Hiccup sighed with relief. "That was too close."

Immediately word spread across the village, then to a fisherman, who then told a merchant, who then told a man wearing Fire Empire clothing, who then told Eret as he served him with some half cooked fish.

"The Avatar is on Maaike Island?" Eret looked up at his servant. He immediately turned to his uncle. "Uncle, ready the Rumblehorns, he's not getting away from me this time."

Bjorn watched as his nephew walked out and then looked at the cooked fish. "Are you going to finish that?"

Eret immediately turned back and grabbed the fish. "I was going to save it for later."

Bjorn looked annoyed at his nephew took the fish away.

The next day, Hiccup and the others were still on Maaike and the mood within the village had changed completely.

Mala has invited them to stay at her house and they were eating as they watched men from the village repainting the statue of Maaike, who's painted had been worn down. The villagers were even cleaning their dragons for them and feeding.

"Isn't this a bit much?" Hiccup asked looking at the tons of food being presented to them.

"Who cares," said Ruffnut as she began to gobble down everything she could get her hands on.

"Yeah, this stuff is awesome," said Tuffnut doing the same thing.

Ragnar was looking outside the window at the painters. "The good thing we found this island, if Maaike has a strong spiritual connection here this will be the ideal place to commune new."

"But we don't know how long that will take?" said Astrid looking troubled. "Soon word will spread that we are here and the Empire will come down upon these people like a ton of bricks."

Hiccup nodded. "I know, but Ragnar's got a fair point trying to talk to Maaike is important."

Heather looked at Astrid. "He's got a good point."

"I've talked to Mala and she's managed to give us the use of her scribe," said Ragnar looking at them. "It's said that he been researching practically everything on the Avatar, he may know a few things that we don't."

"It's worth a try," said Hiccup.

"And why you're doing that, we'll keep on eating," said Ruffnut.

Astrid got up. "I'll talk to Throk I want to see if there's anything I learned from him."

"And I'll get supplies for once we do leave," said Heather.

"And we best head to the scribe," said Ragnar. He then looked down and then back to Hiccup. "Assuming we can get away from your adoring public."

Confused they all made their way towards the window and saw a massive crowd of girls screaming the moment they saw Hiccup's face.

Hiccup rubbed the back of his head. "I've never had this much attention since the Elders announced to everyone that I was the Avatar, on my birthday with everyone watching."

"Just try and avoid getting yourself ripped apart," said Astrid hotly as she walked away.

With that Hiccup and Ragnar made their way towards the scribe on the far end of the village, avoiding the massive crowd of girls at the front door. Sadly they somehow managed to track them down and had to lose them before they reached the house.

Thankfully Ragnar had taught Hiccup enough Air Bending so that they could escape the girls with extraordinary speed.

Hiccup panted. "Who knew… Air Bending could be used to run away from… a mob of girls?"

Ragnar too was panting. "You can say that again."

They then heard a cry of excitement and moment the two of them panicked thinking that the girl to track them down to the house. Thankfully it only turned out to be a large husky boy with short blond hair, who looked as old as the twins, and he looked quite excited to see them.

"I never thought I'd live to see the day," he said excitedly. "The Avatar and an Air Bender in my house."

He then immediately ran towards him and shook their hands violently.

Hiccup managed to get it handsomely and looked at the boy. "It's nice to meet you, uh…"

"Oh, my apologies," said the boy respectfully. "I'm Fishlegs Ingerman, I'm Mala's scribe."

Ragnar looked surprised. "I was expecting someone a bit older."

"I'm only a year younger than you two," Fishlegs pointed out.

Hiccup rubbed the back of his head. "Technically I'm 35 years old."

Fishlegs blinked. "Good point."

Ragnar shook his head and looked at Fishlegs. "We're hoping that you could help us. Hiccup needs to talk to Maaike and we were hoping that you can point us in the right direction."

Fishlegs stared at them open eyed. "You want my help with talking with the past Avatar?"

"Can you help us?" Hiccup asked slowly.

"Of course I can help," said Fishlegs his eyes looking as if they were about to explode. "Let me just look at a few things."

They immediately what has he began fumbling around with some scrolls in ancient books.

Hiccup leaned over to Ragnar. "You sure he can help us?"

Ragnar merely shrugged as he was having his doubts as well.

Fishlegs then soon returned holding a massive pile of ancient parchment and began to go through them. "Okay, from the best I can understand you are able to talk to your past lives through a great measure of training."

"Yes but how do I do that?" Hiccup asked.

"I got no clue, but I imagine it through hard concentration and meditation. Also I imagine that you have to be adept with communing with spirits."

"That could take a long time," said Ragnar frowning. "If what Astrid says is true about the Empire ending this war within a year, we do not have a lot of time."

Fishlegs looked up. "Wait? You're seeing that the Empire could win the war within a year?"

"That's the rumour is that spread from the resistance from within the Empire," said Ragnar folding his arms.

"Well, then I imagine that you want to talk your past lives fairly quickly," Fishlegs assumed.

"Yeah," Hiccup nodded.

"Well, you could try meditating or holding something that holds great significance to the Avatar that you wish to commune with," Fishlegs offered.

Hiccup looked at him. "Do you have any relics of Maaike or a temple?"

Fishlegs shook his head regretfully. "Sadly all the artefacts that Avatar Maaike vanish like her body and sadly we don't have any temple dedicated to her."

Ragnar frowned at that. "Why not? If she was born here would make sense would be some sort of place of worship."

Fishlegs sighed. "Sadly her temple was made elsewhere and we did not gain the rights to have one here."

"How could you not have rights?" Hiccup frowned.

"Avatar Maaike it's part of Earth Kingdom culture," Fishlegs explained. "Earth Kingdom Avatars have their temples erected in places where they fought massive battles as it holds great spiritual energy."

"I don't suppose you know where one of these battlefields took place?" Ragnar asked.

Fishlegs sighed. "Sadly the temple is in within Fire Empire hands and unless we have a foolproof way of communing with Maaike I think trying to access the temple is going to be suicidal."

Hiccup sighed as he looked at Ragnar. "Looks like we're back to square one."

Astrid meanwhile was making her way towards the training grounds and found Throk training with a few recruits.

He looked up and saw Astrid approaching them. "Ah, Astrid, you came here to observe?"

"I was actually hoping you could teach me a few things," said Astrid.

Throk looking quite surprised. "I thought that you were more than capable of protecting yourself."

Astrid looked at him. "Throk you took us down without even blinking, if Hiccup hadn't proved that he was the Avatar we would be dead."

"Fair point," said Throk.

"So how did you manage to sneak up on us without us noticing?" Astrid asked curiously.

"We know the terrain for better than you in use that to our advantage. Not many people predict the enemy coming down from the trees."

Astrid nodded. "They would expect the attack to come from their sides."

Throk smiled. "Exactly, is important to keep your enemy offguard. Surely if you are a member of the Resistance you would know this."

"We've done some hit-and-run attacks, but were very careful," said Astrid honestly. "If we go too far the Empire then causes an incident that makes it look like we caused it making it even harder for us to recruit."

"So he makes you seem like terrorists and to strengthen that he is his own people," said Throk clenching his fist in rage. "The man is nothing but a coward."

"I don't disagree with you, but he's a coward with a massive army by his side and we are very few. We came to the point of our leader ordered me to locate the Avatar and that when I met up with Ragnar."

"Well you succeeding your mission."

"I haven't succeeded until we knock the Emperor of his throne," said Astrid strongly.

Throk looked at her curiously. "Then who would take over the mantle? If I understand correctly the Emperor is always a Fire Bender."

"In truth never had a situation like this," Astrid sighed. "Hiccup is the son of the previous Emperor, but as the Avatar he could not take the throne. His priorities keeping the well in balance and he can't do that in the rules over a single nation. It then that the Senate has to decide on a successor, a Fire Bender, a well-respected clan."

"But that did not happen when Drago staged the coup."

Astrid shook her head. "He carefully manipulated everyone within the Senate gaining the majority he needed, despite the fact he killed the Emperor. It was clear that he was planning this for a long time, long before Hiccup was announced as the Avatar."

Throk frowned. "It certainly would have made his job easier if the out of the throne turned out to be the Avatar."

Astrid sighed. "I don't know what is to become of the Empire after this war, but we need a successor that can restore the honour of our nation, it's the only way the world can return back to the way it was 20 years ago."

"Let us hope that somebody comes soon."

Throk then made his way over to the training rack and ground his axe. He then looked back at Astrid. "So, do you want a spa?"

Astrid smiled as she pulled out her axe. "I thought you would never ask."

Meanwhile Hiccup and the others were looking at the statue of Maiike in the centre of the village. They were soon joined by the twins and they wonder what they were looking at.

"Hard to believe she used to be me," said Hiccup.

Tuffnut looked at her dreamily. "You were pretty."

Hiccup immediately felt uneasy by that comment.

Ragnar then saw Heather in the market. "I'll join up with you guys later."

Ragnar made his way over towards Heather, who was busy buying supplies.

"Buying supplies for journey?" Ragnar assumed.

"We can't stay here for too long, soon the Empire will know that we're here," said Heather looking at him.

Ragnar nodded in agreement. "We'll leave in two hours, were still trying to find something that might be able to help us to commune with Maaike."

Heather looked at him. "Have you find anything?"

"Fishlegs has informed us that there is a temple for Maaike, but it's not here. Apparently Earth Kingdom culture dictates that the Avatar's temple should be erected in one of their major battles sadly that battle took place in Empire controlled territory."

Heather sighed. "It's never that easy is it."

Ragnar looked slightly uneasy. We could try locating the remaining Air Nomads and see if they can help us."

Heather noticed this. "Something happened between you and then didn't it?"

Ragnar sighed. "When I told them about my vision they dismissed it saying that it was incorrect or just delusional. They weren't exactly pleased when my mother met my father and believe that it was foolish."

Heather frowned. "But how else are you supposed to preserve your culture if you can't talk to anyone?"

"They're afraid that whoever they talk to might bring the Empire down upon them. Of course that means that they might not help us even if we do find them."

"That doesn't exactly sound helpful."

Ragnar nodded. "I know."

An hour later, they were at the shore of the island looking at the open sea.

Fishlegs sighed as he looked at them. "I'm sorry I can help you guys."

Hiccup looked at him. "You did your best, Fishlegs. We have at least got a better idea on how we can try and talk to Maaike."

Ragnar nodded in agreement. "We might find more if we move on. We've already spent an entire day here."

"Why would we leave?" Tuffnut asked leaning against a tree with his sister.

"Yeah, they're giving us the royal treatment," said Ruffnut.

"How long do you think rumours were spread that we are here?" Ragnar asked raising an eyebrow.

"Ragnar is right, we need to leave."

"I wish I could go on adventures like you guys," said Fishlegs.

Hiccup looked at him. "There's nothing stopping you from coming with us?"

Fishlegs eyes widened upon hearing this. "You mean it?"

Hiccup looked at the others Ragnar merely nodded and the twins didn't seem to care one bit. He could predict what Astrid and Heather would say, but he imagined they would agree with Ragnar.

"The more the merrier," Hiccup smiled.

Then that's when they saw, a familiar ship making its way towards the island.

"Eret?" Hiccup gasped.

They watched as it stopped at the shore and dropped its bow towards the ground. Then they saw Eret and his Fire Bender exiting from the ship riding on top of Rumblehorns.

"I want the Avatar alive," he said.

Hiccup looked at the others. "We need to get back to the village and warn them quickly."

They managed to reach the village before Eret and quickly made their way over to Mala.

"Fire Benders coming here," Hiccup panted.

Mala quickly turned to Throk. "Assemble your warriors now!"

Astrid and Heather quickly made their way over towards them.

"Are you sure?" Astrid asked.

"It's Eret," said Ragnar.

"We've been here too long," said Heather.

Hiccup looked at the twins. "You two prepare the dragons, while the rest of us have defend the village."

"I'll get my dragon ready and I'll grab as much research as I can," said Fishlegs as he ran as quickly as he could.

Astrid and Heather gave the two of them blank looks.

"He's coming with," Ragnar explained.

Eret finally reached the village and he and his men stood ready.

"Come on out Avatar, you can't hide from the forever!" he called.

Most of the villages hid in their houses while everyone else prepared for an attack.

Eret turned to his men. "Find him."

Immediately the three Rumblehorns with them started to spread out into the village with a soldier and Fire Bender on each one.

"Now!" Throk ordered.

Immediately he and his Defenders jumped from the shadows and quickly took out the Fire Benders. Throk drew his axe and disarmed the soldier who reigned his spear directly at him and then quickly knocked him out.

Mala then came rushing with the sword drawn and headed straight towards Eret, who immediately fired fireballs directly at her. Mala dodge the flames and jumped and raised her sword, but Eret pulled the reins of his Rumblehorn and performed a massive tail swipe that sent her flying.

Eret then fired a fireball directly at her, but then Astrid appeared out of nowhere and slammed the fireball with her axe dispelling the flames. Eret was about to attack again when Ragnar appeared out of nowhere riding on a ball of air.

He was moving so fast that Eret to seem in time and knocked him off his Rumblehorn. Eret then quickly spun around sending a powerful burst of flames from his legs and Ragnar quickly jumped out of the way spinning his staff tried to dispel them.

Astrid then came charging in towards him, but he leaned backwards and avoided the axe and then quickly grabbed her arm and slammed her into a wooden beam. Mala drew her sword directly at him and Ragnar raised his staff, but Eret then fired a powerful burst of flames that knocked the two of them backwards.

"Nice try, Avatar!" Eert called through the village. "But how does nothing until I find you!"

"Finding me is one thing, but trying to capture me is another," said a voice behind him.

Eret turned and saw Hiccup standing there. "That easily remedied."

Eret then fired to fireballs directly at Hiccup, who dodged them skilfully and then jumped into the air using his Air Bending.

"You learn how to Air Bend," Eret noticed.

"Which means only one step closer of fulfilling my mission," said Hiccup as he performed a backwards kick unleashing a burst of flames that Eret.

Eret quickly raised his hand to block the attack. "That's not going to happen."

Eret then raised his left fist prepared to do a fireball at close range, but Hiccup then thrusted his hand forward unleashed a powerful gust of wind. This surprise caused Eret to be sent flying backwards and he went straight through a building.

Hiccup then looked around and saw the destruction that Eret and his men were causing around the village. Heather was busy trying to get the children to safety as she still had much to learn with Water Bending.

Quickly he, Astrid and Ragnar made their way over towards her.

"We can't stay here," said Hiccup.

Ragnar nodded. "Eret will stop at nothing until he gets us."

"Then we best get out of here, Eret will leave Maaike to follow us," said Heather.

Astrid nodded in agreement. "As much as I hate running from a fight, she's right. Eret only ones you and he does have some honour in him, enough to leave these villages alone."

That's when the twins and Fishlegs arrived with their dragons. Fishlegs was riding on top of the Gronckle, an Earth Dragon that was as chubby as he was, she also had the ability to eat any kind of rock and capable of turning it into lava.

"We're ready," said Fishlegs.

Mala and Throk then approached them.

"We'll hold him off long enough for you to escape," said Mala.

Hiccup looked at Mala apologetically. "I am sorry to bring this devastation to your island."

"It only proves how important it is you to leave," said Mala looking at him. "You are only hope in order to end this war, we wish you the best of luck."

"And we hope you find a worthy successor to the throne," Throk added respectfully to Astrid.

"Thank you for the lessons," said Astrid respectfully.

Mala looked at Fishlegs. "You and Meatlug are going with them, Fishlegs."

"I've always wanted to see the world and to learn more about the Avatar," said Fishlegs with a smile. "Besides, someone's got to chronicle their journeys might as well be me."

"Then we wish you the best of luck," said Mala bowing.

They then began to mount their dragons, but that didn't go unnoticed to Eret and his men.

"Back to the ship, don't lose sight of them!" he ordered.

Hiccup and the others took off and as they left they saw the village burning in the distance.

"I know it's hard, but you did the right thing," said Heather looking at Hiccup. "Eret would have destroyed the whole place if we stayed, they're going to be okay Hiccup."

Ragnar sighed. "That if their able to stop the fires."

Hiccup knew instantly what he had to do and immediately jumped off of Toothless and dived into the sea below them.

"What are you telling?" Astrid yelled.

Hiccup then answered as he fell towards the sea and soon hit the water. They immediately stopped flying and looked down into the sea wondering what he was planning on doing. Then suddenly emerging from the water was a Scauldron and riding on top of it was Hiccup.

The Scauldron was a water dragon that had the ability of shooting water at different variations of temperature. Somehow Hiccup have been able to control the dragon and immediately ordered it to unleash water onto the village.

The water rain down upon the village dousing the fires and completely soaking Eret and his men. With his work done Hiccup then jumped into the air and unleashed a burst of flames and landed back on top of Toothless.

They then flew away leaving Mala just smiled up at them as they disappeared into the distance.

"Thank you, Avatar Hiccup," she said respectfully bowing.

Hiccup then caught up with the others and they all stared at him.

"I know, I know," said Hiccup as if reading their minds. "That was stupid, irresponsible and dangerous."

"We loved it," said Ruffnut nodded excitedly.

"You sure you're not related to us?" Tuffnut asked in an almost dreaming state.

Astrid shook her head and looked at Hiccup and smiled at him. "It was also the right thing."

They then flew into the sunset and soon disappeared from view from the island.
