Kristoff and the General couldn't believe it, when they were offered to be pulled by a dragon back into Norway's border they accepted it, but they didn't realized how fast it would be. The time they spent on that boat was reading the Viking's history book. There are some sketches and illustration since the word 'Hiccup' has been read. Maybe he draw this or something.

And they were right about the Vikings. Cold-blooded murderers, pillagers, rapist, and so many more. But the book also said that not all Vikings are like that, there are people who are civilized enough, most of the Vikings in fact. The pillaging was defined as the only thing that would survive them the freeze, since their land was killed or be killed. Not only that, dragons were a pest just years before. Kristoff couldn't stop reading it, at first it was all gruesome and disturbing but when Hiccup befriended a Night Fury, a dragon who's the offspring of lightning and death, everything changed. It's just that they weren't connected with the world that they are like that. The only person who's probably been in and out of the Viking islands is this so called trader Johann, who's described as a person who brings stuff from the place he had gone.

They were nearing Arendelle, only a few more hours before they dock and he's still far from finishing the book. Elsa and the others would probably want to read this, unless he told them they have given him their history book. It's not like I'm taking it, just… borrowing it for the moment He thought. That is if he cannot finish this book.

The General was more than eager to read the book as well, but after a few words about their past, the heinous crimes that they did, he stopped. Saying that he'll just judge the Vikings once they arrive at Arendelle, after all, it might be fake. But Kristoff didn't care much about what he said, he just kept reading the adventures of Hiccup.

The next page got him to a shock, he was in the middle part of the book and there's a picture portraying Hiccup and his black-winged friend against a dragon that has the same size as a mountain. The sketch was clearly taken from the ground, the small picture from afar was Hiccup diving straight towards the monstrous flying beast.

He was cut off as a man entered the room and declare that they are docking within the next few minutes. The last part of that page has some few words that 'Stoic's son lost his foot that day' he tried to read it again, he was sure that when he saw Hiccup he had two feet. Sure it's dark but a person wouldn't be able to walk like that if he has no foot. Even when he got outside, the sun hitting his face, his mind was still going on about that damn foot.

"Kristoff!" Anna yelled, as soon as she saw him entered the castle doors. "You're back way too early! Not that I didn't want that but did you met the Vikings?" He nodded and immediately urge her to take him to where Elsa is. Elsa might be the Queen of Arendelle but truth be told, Arendelle has been in lucky enough that they are spared from most trouble. So, yes, Queen Elsa usually takes her break at this hour. "Follow me!" she gleefully said, running in the halls.

The Queen was sitting in the garden with one of her best friends, Olaf. A snowman that's been animated by Elsa to life, how or why they did not asked. Because Olaf has been a secret to outsiders, if Elsa has been somewhat accepted into society with her power, would they still accept her if she could create a living snowman? She didn't know why but Hans never mentioned it to the world about her ability to create Marshmallow. She felt weird that Hans would let that slip up his mind, or did he? Maybe he's still waiting for a perfect chance to avenge his shame.

"Elsa, we've returned" Kristoff greeted, when they are in private, she didn't like people calling by her title. She could understand when presenting some decorum for the crowd, but royalty or not, she urges people to call her Elsa when in a private place. That's one of the reason why her people loves her. She gave a little shock look but nodded. She wasn't expected Kristoff to return this fast.

"Kristoff." She smiled, Anna entered the room with a tea and some freshly baked cookies. "So… how's the trip?" she asked, offering Kristoff and Anna to sit beside her. "Olaf, just one at a time, okay?" the snowman nodded, he wouldn't want that thing called 'choking' happen to him again.

"Good news is he's coming next week." He said "I mean, six and a half day from now" he smiled but Elsa and Anna just listened to him. Clearly they're expecting a…

"But?" Elsa said, not wanting him to take this silence any longer.

"But what?" he asked.

"Kristoff, there has to be a 'but' in what you've said."

"Butt?"

The sisters could only face-palm themselves, this is going nowhere. "Did he brought some conditions or something? Did he want anything in return? Did he hurt you?" Anna asked, she's so worried that those barbarians might have hurt her future husband. Elsa could only smile as she sees her sister finally finding the man of her life.

He shook his head, "He just said it would take a week because he wants his island to be perfectly safe should he leave" Elsa nodded, showing them a book, quite the thick one. "A friend of his suddenly gave this to me, probably without Hiccup's permission." He showed a book but the two women gave him a questionable look. "What?"

"Hiccup?"

"Oh yeah!" he laughed, forgetting that they didn't know the name of this so called dragon master. Their talk has been rather a moment of peace and laughter for Kristoff. Sure their talk usually was just about the business for their lands but there were jokes and pun that was inserted. As a mountain man, there weren't a lot of people before he met Anna, so he could usually tell the good ones from the bad. Funny right? He's the one who's been away from most people yet he could just sense a person's alignment. "Hiccup is the Dragon Master, Dragon Conqueror, Pride of Berk, Dragon Trainer" he laughed, when Hiccup talked about his titles, there were so many he could barely keep up. But he did not care like Elsa, Titles are just for show, it does not define what a man truly is remembering his words when they talked about titles. Not that women aren't allowed for titles, I mean mostly umm… women here in Berk are uh… dangerous he chuckled, then one Viking mother who's still inside the Hall gave a cough Sorry! Both men burst into laughter as the woman finally got out. "Can you believe it Elsa? The man known as the Dragon Conqueror is just as the same age as you?" they both gave a shock look, they were expecting some forty year old man who's hell bent on conquering the known world. "And he's even a lot thinner than me. I mean not thin-thin, but more likely to be lean and strong build. Also!" they were astonished at how Kristoff is acting like a child "I saw his fire-sword, it was so cool!" he said. Kristoff has always been a thrill-seeker despite being kind, shy, and awkward.

Elsa chuckled "Kristoff, slow down, I can't keep up with you" she said, while her sister awkwardly nodded. "Now, begin from the start." She said, the man blushed, not realizing that he was rambling them all of the things he saw but he hasn't even started his story formally.

"Okay, so our ship never really reached their island. Two dragons suddenly showed up out of nowhere, well considering how dark it was that night, even if they are flying right above us we wouldn't notice them. Then when we told them we want to meet the Hicc- er… the Dragon Master, they told us they'd take only a few people and not the entire ship. Me and the General, we uh… ride on the back of dragons" he said, his smile grew wider as he remembered the feeling of flying high in the sky, despite the freezing temperature it was absolutely freeing.

Anna and Elsa didn't caught that one quickly "You r-rode a d-dragon?" Anna asked, Elsa couldn't make her sister's face.

"I KNOW! IT'S AWESOME!" his voice was electrifying, was it that 'cool' to ride on such dangerous beast?

Anna perked up, she started asking all of this questions about the sky, unfortunately, Kristoff couldn't answer every question Anna barraged at him. Elsa could only chuckle at the sight of two over-sized children in front of her. While she maintained her elegance, she too was more than curious to be up there, where no one has ever been. Except him. She shook the thought, every dragon riders has been in the sky.

But really dragons? She didn't want to believe it at first even when the King of Denmark was going crazy right in front of her. It was just creatures who only exist in stories, the devastation they laid waste upon the land. Within seconds, the land would be flooding with fire. The stories told them that the creatures were banished from this realm for their souls are the embodiment of destruction itself. This Dragon Master, this Hiccup… She chuckled at the name, the title was a million times more intimidating than his name. Conquered dragons… she thought. That's just insane.

"Um… Elsa" she snapped back to reality "here… The fat guy just said that this is their history book, I don't know if it's real or not but I think it is indeed real." He said, handing her that thick book. Vikings aren't really known for being smart, they prefer brawn over brains which is the reason of their downfall. Or at least they thought it was. But if they ever thought about combining their huge bodies with their brain, would they be ruling the known world now? She accepted the book, but she's going to have to read this later, there's too much work to do for now. She's sent a message for the King of England to stop this madness, reasoning that Arendelle has no military strength is enough to consider the invasion a slaughter rather than justice for what they did. The King replied by offering her his son, if they are to be married then they would cancel the invasion and the Norway itself would be considered as an ally. Now, she has more options, thanks to the Hiccup for accepting the offer she made. But she already have made her mind, if the Vikings won't help them, then she'd marry the Crown Prince and save Arendelle.

I have to please the Dragon Master so that he may find Arendelle interesting. She thought, after all, this is the only chance she's got of not marrying some stranger. Kristoff never mentioned Hiccup or the Dragon Conqueror or Master to be married or not, and he didn't seem to care at all. Like the General said, he's probably married. That's good, even if the Dragon Master found her to his liking, he can't offer a marriage.

Hiccup left Valka and Gobber to handle both Berk and every other island and tribes out there. Now that he had some free time, their archipelago hasn't been named yet. Since they are united now and is flying a single banner, they should have a name for their new found country. But that's still a long shot, they do fly a single banner, but they have yet to formally discuss this so called banner. Plus, who would lead them anyway? Sure, he's been their sort of leader when it comes to the fate of every Vikings but he really is not suited for that kind of job. It has already destroyed his life, including his chances of marrying the girl he had loved for so many years. Had. He thought, it still pains him to see Astrid smiling with her future husband. But hey- at least she's happy.

His life just went back to the past, where he it would be enough for him to survive the day when he sees Astrid smile. But when he tasted the feeling of being at Astrid's side, or her by his side, it wasn't enough anymore. Instead of letting him survive the day, the night is haunting him with images from his past. Where they would spend the whole day together at the cove, if they both had the time.

"Hiccup, the Chiefs have gathered." Snotlout said, as he opened the large door upon arriving at their destination. The rarest event was the gathering of every chief, but ever since Hiccup took the title of being the Chief of Berk, it's been constant due to the very huge changes he brought. Like every gathering, no one was allowed inside except the chiefs. Their place of gathering was a small isolated island at the center of the archipelago, it had custom stables for every dragons, and a small like fortress that could withstand from both blizzard and human attack.

"Hiccup"

"Hiccup"

"Hiccup"

"Hiccup"

Every chief he passed by before reaching his seat bowed and respected him. Everyone does. Not out of fear, that would be a laughingstock for every other Viking out there. Yes, in combat Hiccup is indeed agile and strong, he really is, but he's not all that intimidating especially when the chiefs pick on him. Not that he's being bullied but being the youngest chief in the group, that's expected. It's like your uncle teasing you about some stuffs he found out or some rumors going around the village, it was both annoying and funny for Hiccup.

"Everyone," he greeted, nodding before him. "Just like you've heard, we will be going to Arendelle" he brought out his map and pointed it. "I will be taking my council with me and I will leave Valka and Gobber as the people responsible for both Berk and everything else" they nodded, Gobber was more of a man of action and Valka can handle words like no one else. She treats everyone like her children, even dragons, even the criminals that are now in prison serving their time. Thanks to her, the negative effect of caging a criminal was reversed. Each day she would travel to different prisons and just talk to the people, asking them 'what would you do if my son, Hiccup, release you?' at first they swore revenge, particularly Alvin's lieutenants, but each day she'd counsel them. She never believed that when a man is prisoned for his crimes, he'd turn good. Even Hiccup knew that, but in order for things to be in order and peaceful they must be locked up.

"Hiccup, tread carefully." One chief advised "I know that you're doing this for us, but not everyone can be persuaded. Always remember, if there are people like us, like you, like your mother, then there are people who's the same as Drago." He hated Drago, not for what he did but because his heart was pitched black till the end. He hated how about the ending, he really just wants to use dragons for his own good. There are definitely more people like him out there, if Drago has raw strength and power, then others might be cunning. They would use you first then stab you on the back.

He nodded "I will." He said, "I got the best riders with me during my stay in Arendelle, I will protect them as much as they will protect me." All the chief gave a smile, not wondering why they follow this boy, Stoic's son. He was a lot like Stoic but also a lot different than him. "As to why I call you here-"

"Hiccup, before you proceed, I wish to suggest something."

"Yes?"

"Seeing as how this might be a trap and they knew you already have dragons at your disposal, why not bring Spitz?" everyone tensed, a dragon that has not been seen for a long time and the only one he follows is either Hiccup or Toothless, but even with the two of them the pride of that dragon is way too much. Not to mention its destructive power, so strong it could take out Berk and every other island out there. "Spitz listens to you and your Night Fury, and he swims, there's no way they'll be expecting him should they betray you."

Hiccup had to agree but Spitz is still hard to please, and like Toothless his attention for things he didn't know is quite large. But thankfully, he would rather rest at some are with only his huge head popped out from the sea. Spitz is usually lazy and would just sleep all day long, he has dragons serving him up to now, but not through force but because it is nature's will. "Okay. But he has to stay away from Arendelle or any other island" they agreed. "I wouldn't want some King or Queen wondering why there's a huge spikes of ices suddenly showing up at their land." They all laughed.

"Now, that we cleared that one, Hiccup, what would you want to tell us?"

Hiccup explained how they are now a nation, they might be far from what the world has accomplished but considering that all tribes are now united they are indeed a nation of both men and dragons. The chiefs were alarmed that they'd lose their position as chief of their tribe but the Dragon Conqueror explained how they would still be the rulers of their island but they must have a king or a leader of some sort.

"Let's vote who you wished to lead us." He smiled, as he started by voting the old Viking beside him, Heyral the Wise, the first Headmaster for the School of Dragon. Of course, Hiccup has been the very first teacher or the best teacher when it comes to dragon but due to being chief of Berk and other dragon stuffs, he gave it to Heyral.

"I call for Hiccup. He's the person who united the Vikings, he should have the honor of leading us." The other chiefs agreed, Hiccup should be the leader for this. He's the most suited, smartest, and the best of the best out there. He wasn't the strongest Viking out there, neither is he the best fighter. But nobody argues when he's called as the best Viking out there.

"I don-" Hiccup tried to argue but all the other chiefs agreed already. "Look! I'm not suited for this kind of job" he admitted.

"Hiccup, you're the only one we trust the most." All the other chief agreed.

"But-"

"My King" Heylar bowed in respect, the others chief quickly stood from their chair and followed Heylar. "We are your most faithful subjects, though we are still the chief of our own tribe, we are proud to have you as our King." Heylar added, to be honest, it's more of an honor to stand before Hiccup.

"Woah woah woah! I am not a king! I can't handle everything!" he yelled.

Heylar puts his hand on his shoulder "You've united us, kept us under control without the use of force, you made everyone's life a whole lot easier by changing our views about dragons. Hiccup, you were already a king, not officially but at heart. You were born to be one, my boy" Heylar said, no one argued. "I know about your story, every one of us knew, how you were treated back then. How'd you met Toothless and everything else. Maybe it's all part of a plan to have you here be called as King." Heylar smiled, a man who's never seen the outside world and yet he knew just what to say.

"I don't think I'm ready…" he confessed, this meeting was supposed to name their country and chose some sort of ruler or ambassador to everything and everyone that's foreign.

"It's for that very reason you are."

"Then the King is just a title for the outsiders. You still offered us our current position and we accept, we get to rule our own tribe and so will you. The only difference is that you'll have the final command when it comes to other countries or outside of our archipelago." Another chief said.

"Well said" Heylar agreed.

He sighed, there's no way they can get out of this. "So, I'm just like a representative for our people?" Everyone nodded, he agreed, he had no choice but to accept after all. They're more stubborn than him. "So, what do we call our country then?"

"Umm… First I think we shouldn't call you Viking King. It sounds a bit too far, you being Vikings and all." They laughed, hundreds of years of not being united and here they are standing before Hiccup whom they now call as the Viking King. "How about you remain your title as the Dragon Conqueror who united the Vikings."

"That sounds a bit nerving than the King of Vikings."

Up in her room she's wondering if this was all true, the boy that was shown as Hiccup, the one who defeated the Red Death is just a scrawny lad. Of course it has been years but Vikings weren't really all that scrawny or thin. Usually, their arms would be buff and so did their body and they always carry weapons as if their life depends on it.

There wasn't any clear picture of how Hiccup looked like or the others, but the dragons were well illustrated. Everything we know about dragons is within the Book of Dragons, the one which the Dragon Conqueror made. She read in her mind, all of those dragons in the picture were shown as a scary and intimidating creatures.

She realized she was way past her bedtime and she has a lot of things to do tomorrow, one part of them is to prepare for the arrival of the Dragon Conqueror.

Meanwhile in the castle of his Majesty…

"You better have a good reason to disturb my sleep."

"Yes, your Majesty."

"What's your name?"

"Hans of the… just Hans, my King."
