3 months later

Everything in Berk was on its original place. It was the Eden for the so-called barbarian vikings, because after Drago's attack on Berk, nothing interfered the social life in the archipelago.

Hiccup's duty was well executed, so far. Ever since he was dragged by the gang from where he was sure nobody would expect him to be there, he's doing the duty as his father told, no task is smaller when it comes to serving his people. Sure, he may have been in the workshop more than in the village itself. It's a habit inside his blood that he couldn't get rid of, and it's to wake up in the morning, wash himself, walk to the workshop and pick up some requests from the villagers. Even villagers questioned why the chief was working on the workshop, not in the hall or on his throne where he could sort some papers. It happened for his very first week in the chief duty. But after that, he began to scour more in the village.

As much as he expected the duty to be heavy and sweat-dripping, he was relatively going easy with his new title. He still got to fly with Toothless in the evening and feed him, and he managed to spare a little time to relax and enjoy the sunset. Basically, the dream job that people nowadays are dreaming of.

One morning, he came out of his house with a bag of his needs. After arguing with himself at the night before he went to sleep, he came up with the decision to visit his dearest queen in the south west, Elsa. This time, he wasn't going to sneak like a slippery Terrible Terror like he attempted three months ago. An excuse was already delivered to Astrid, the girl he'd put trusts on whenever he leaves the chair not sat. And the girl let him, she knew from those big green eyes that someone was in love, and he's mad to leave the land just to say hi to the other blonde.

As Hiccup rested his bag on the ground, he whistled into the air to call for his dragon. Out of nowhere, Toothless landed in front of him with a face fresh from the bed. And as from the bed, as Hiccup looked up on his house's roof, the dragon was from the roof.

"That explains why I heard a loud tumbling noise on my roof last night." He scoffed.

The dragon indeed was still sleepy, his bright green eyes were still only opened by half. And the solution for that came out of the door. Valka walked out in her green dress and with something on her hands, which seemed like a caked green mud with a rather big leaf as its plate. Hiccup himself found the particular object to be confusing.

"What is that?" He questioned.

"This is my secret recipe that I've learnt after living with dragons for twenty years. It's a mix of mint leaves, but added with the oh-so-called coffee from Arendelle, half of coconut, and a fish!" The last part resulted Hiccup with a frightened look, his mind was telling that she wanted him to eat the 'food', but with a fish added, he doubted.

"O-oh... yummy.."

"You're not gonna eat this. He is." She gestured to Toothless, which gave the male a sense of relief. The woman placed the dish in front of the sleepy Night Fury, but its smell, especially from the fish, caught his attention. The dragon first gave a small lick, and a sense of mint melted in his tongue, making him to be eager as he took a full bite of the food. As much as the dragon would prefer a fish as for the breakfast, he also finished the 'plate', which was a big mint leaf. The dragon rider was staggered by seeing a carnivore enjoying a vegetarian dish. He'd always assumed that vegetarians were a plague, as much as sarcastic he was when he found out his mother was a vegetarian.

"That's gonna keep him awake for the day. Now be careful, would you? Don't get caught up in a battle or something with other dragons. I don't want to see you coming home with a missing arm." She placed her hand on his shoulder, squeezing it to convey her expression that she was really serious.

"I'm not Drago, mom."

"You aren't. Of course. But please. Take care."

"I will. Thank you." He curled a small smile, and put on his helmet. He put on his bag on top of the dragon, which Toothless found it light, and he clipped it with a single line on each end of the bag, making it secure as they're about to fly.

Giving a last nod, which she returned by doing the same, he took off into the sky.

Seeing the flying Night Fury with her son as the rider was a spectacular view for her, knowing that he'd changed the whole village from the blood-thirsty people into peace and friendship between dragons and men. She was proud. She kept her eyes on the Night Fury who's getting further and higher into the sky; until a maneuver was executed, resulting both of them to be ended up in the clouds where no eyes could reach the duo.

"He didn't even say bye to me…"

Valka looked at her right, and Astrid was there, saddened to the fact that the rider didn't bid a farewell for his trip that would last for a week.

"Hey." Valka snaked her arm around her neck. "Worry not. I bet he did, maybe on your desk, a paper or something." She gave a hint, which brighten her face by a little.

"Really?"

"Well that's what he did when he was about to steal some times to visit his favorite spot with Toothless." She shrugged, smiling a little.

"I'm gonna go check!" Her feet brought herself away from Valka in excitement back to her house.

"Astrid!" Valka called out.

She turned around. "Yeah?"

"I'll be waiting for you in the dragon arena, as always." She winked, which was replied by nods by Astrid.

Back with the dragon and his rider, the sense of freedom was flooding his mind. The cold breeze wind through his helmet, the sunrise in front of him, the endless line of horizon, not even his eyes could reach what lies at the very end of the world. Of course, he's eager to satisfy his eyes by seeing what's never been discovered with his beloved best friend who's in a shape of a dragon. But a man has to chase for his love of his life, and he'd chosen to satisfy his heart first, then maybe his brain with new things.

All things considered, as much as he enjoys a trip with his dragon together, but if the trip takes hours, boredom will be his enemy. Wild dragons weren't really much of a problem, because he knew how to deal with them in order to have a peaceful ride. The dragon master, after all, was his other title.

Because he was going south west, the sunrise was actually behind him, illuminating nearly everything right in front of his eyes. But going south west, also means going to his old historic place where he made his very first heroic act for his people, and of course on his dragon too.

The sun was climbing its way all the way up to its throne, but its light was not to reach what Hiccup has entered. Which he also just remembered in his head.

The white clouds were soon exchanged with deep grey fogs. His mind would say that nothing would go in the favored way if fogs were to fill the air, but since he's experienced losing a leg in the place and actually managed to return... Not in one piece but alive, he kept on. Soon rocky towering pillars of rocks appeared, almost like were meant to confuse any visitors that don't breathe fire and trap them with the fire breathers. That was soon proved as Hiccup and Toothless flew past a stranded Viking's ship near a rock pillar. Seeing this, Hiccup patted his partner on the head, sign that he was counting for him as for navigation. Toothless' zig zag movement soon led the two to the Queen's nest.

The volcano was the first thing that he spotted first, but behind the volcano was more intriguing. His green eyes inside his helmet spotted the big skeleton that used to be the queen of the dragon, lying on the rocky beach as its grave. As they flew in circle around the island, admiring the true reason why dragons were to attack the Berkians in the past, the next thing they found staggered them the most.

"For the love for Thor... Is that?..."

The ex-alpha, the king that was forced to leave the throne of the king of the dragons by a Night Fury and his rider, the dragon master, lying on its exposed grave on the beach. Judging from the smelly carcass and the burnt out bones unlike the usual white ones, Hiccup came up with the conclusion that the alpha was set on fire. But no fire was strong enough to melt down a dragon's skin, even for the one who breathes frost and spits ice. Even though the dead alpha was his enemy, it was still a very intelligent being and a highly respected one, so Hiccup landed near the gigantic skeleton to investigate.

He hopped off his dragon and removed his helmet. Scratching his hair, he touched one big rib bone. Indeed, it was burned. He also noticed some hardened stones around the rib, almost like something was covering it. His hand knocked down some of it to have a sample.

He examined it thoroughly, and came up with the answer.

"This... Was lava. Frozen lava. Could it be... The alpha was bathed in lava?"

Seeing no other possibilities of what else could've happened that was strong enough to burn down an alpha, Hiccup stepped back in disgust.

"Did... Drago do this?"

Filled with hatred, his hatreds towards Drago risen. A mad sod who bathed the alpha in lava, in reason of because its failure in conquering Berk. That's his twenty years old brain's theory, which we all know is wrong.

Narrowing his eyes with a serious look, he hopped back on his dragon, with a wish that this most hated man in the world would die in a hole where no one would even know his death. Toothless found himself staring at his archenemy in pity, but as a picture of Drago popped inside his mind, his teeth were out, hissing.

"Come on Toothless... Let's go."

Even with the dragon who's known as a dragon that cannot be seen in the night due to its lightning speed, the trip to Arendelle resulted the two to arrive at destination at when the sun went down at the far west. Hiccup thought the trip would only take six hours, but storm, oversleep, and technical issue on Toothless' tail wing expanded the time.

The duo landed in the forest where no eyes could spot the dragon in the darkness. In a small opening in the woods, they landed there. Hiccup buckled off from his seat, and took his bag. The opening was familiar for the two, because it was the spot that they chose when they first discovered the land of Arendelle. And it was a strategic one, because there's a river nearby for Toothless to feed himself, and a small underground cave which could be used for Toothless to hide. The vikings might've shown their dragons to the civilians of Arendelle, including to the queen herself. However, Hiccup was still not sure to casually take Toothless along inside the village. He even still doubted his outfit would be acceptable by the people of Arendelle, so that he's about to take out from his bag was his solution for the problem.

It was a dark green cloak, with a hoodie to cover his head. He put it on simply, and looked over to his dragon.

"How do I look?"

He asked the dragon. The dragon narrowed his eyes, and pointed a claw into his eyes.

"Your eyes?" He questioned. Then he laughed, after finding Toothless' sarcastic side.

"You silly reptile. Alright, you know where to hide," he pointed to a small crack opening to his left, which led to the cave. "And where to feed yourself." He pointed to his right, where it led to the river.

The dragon nodded.

"Good. I'll check you everyday. Bye for now." He walked with his cloak on, onwards to Arendelle.

The five minutes foot walk brought him to a s bridge that connected the forests and the village. No one was to be seen at the moment, so he marched on.

The walk was peaceful. He did walk past some villagers that didn't even mind his appearance as a cloaked stranger. Maybe it's normal for them to see such a sneaky-fashioned man walking in the village. But what Hiccup caught in the air was... Unsettling.

"What is this smell?... Fire?"

A trace of ash was spotted by his green eyes, floating onto the air around 40 feet ahead on the downhill. He rushed on, and the view that was in sight was jaw dropping.

A house, burning on fire, with a family crying hysterically in front of it. Some guards were too chicken to risk their lives to go in, because what was heard inside the house... Was a baby crying.

The brunette removed his cloak, and rushed towards the guard's side. "Is that a baby crying inside!?" He asked the man. But instead, the crying woman, who might be the baby's mother, grabbed his shoulders fiercely.

"YES! PLEASE! GO SAVE MY LITTLE CHILD!"

Seeing that the door was still opened, but a wall of fire was blocking the way, Hiccup gathered some courage.

"Come on… You have a dragon. You've experienced fire quite well."

He ran in.

"Darling, what is that?"

"Hm?"

The black-haired male looked out to the window where his queen was looking at. A burning house caught his attention. He smiled at it in evil.

"Don't worry sweety. It is my little surprise for you as for our... Anniversary, I suppose. Some fireworks. That's all."
