"What is it about the Hidden World?"
Hiccup was waiting for an answer from his sister. What was that secret?
-"Well. I don't know for sure since Luna was little but mom and I made our research and we conclude that...", Meg inhaled deeply, "...Light Furies might come from the Hidden World."
Hiccup blinked, his brain figuring what he just heard.
He suddenly grabbed Meg's arms and hold her to stare right in the pupils.
-"Are you serious?!", Hiccup gasped.
-"Y-Yeah. Well no. We don't know. It's just that we scouted almost everywhere, as far as the archipelago go and we never saw a single Light Fury. Or a Night Fury.", Meg explained.
Hiccup relieved the hold on her but let his hands on her arms. He was processing.
-"Wait, hold on, you're telling me there are other night furies IN the Hidden World?!", Hiccup tried to understand.
-"I don't know Hiccup! All we know is that here, on these lands, they are probably one of a kind. And maybe because it's much safer to stay in the Hidden World for them as they are chased a lot here.", Meg said calmly.
-"Yeah.. it's true. That makes sense.", Hiccup nodded, rubbing his face.
Then he looked back at his sister, a question tickling his tongue.
-"You've never been to the Hidden World right?", Hiccup almost whispered.
-"No. And that's fine by me.", Meg shrugged.
-"Have you ever wondered or even wanted to go there?", Hiccup asked curiously.
-"To be honest, no."
Hiccup blinked. Which made Meg sigh.
-"Hiccup listen, I know you want our dragons to be safe, and you know I share the same wish. But... that place is sacred. It's a home to the dragons. Do you really think it's a good idea to just move there?", Meg asked gently.
Hiccup scratched his head then sat on a dusty log.
-"I don't know. All I know is that I need to protect our dragons. Every dragons if it's possible. Even if it actually sounds impossible. I know it's suppose to be a secret place but.. I don't want to lose Toothless. Or any of you. And I believe we can live peacefully there.", Hiccup said.
Meg couldn't help but smile. Her brother was really an admirable person. She sat next to him and rubbed his back.
-"I believe it too.", Meg said, "And I believe in you.", she spoke softly, a hand on his shoulder.
Hiccup smiled thankfully. How grateful he was to have a sister.
-"Thank you Meg.", he wrapped his left arm around her shoulder, bringing her close to him to kiss her forehead.
-"Anytime bro.", she scoffed.
They stayed like that for a few minutes.
-"Mom also told you about those sailors stories about the Hidden World didn't she?", Hiccup asked.
-"Yeah. She actually first told me when we found Luna and her mom cause I was asking too many questions like if she already saw a Light Fury before or if she knew where they were coming from. At one point, she told me them and we started to search for answers about these rumors and old tales."
Hiccup just scoffed. Sometimes he was still wondering how he never came across them. Probably Valka knew where Berk was and she didn't want Meg to go and find who her dad was. Even if Valka didn't knew that Meg actually went to Berk many times in the past, except they just didn't know they shared the same blood at that time.
Hiccup gave one last rub on Meg's back before standing and stretched.
-"So, ready to pack? At least what's left of our stuff?", Hiccup picked a burned shirt of his.
-"Yup, let's go!", Meg stood as well and went to help her brother figuring the clothes that were still wearable.

Berkians were gathering on the center of the village, all packed up. Boats were filled with weapons and sheep, ready to be transported.
Hiccup arrived with Ana in front of everyone, both on their dragons. They landed between Meg and Valka who were waiting for them.
Hiccup looked at Meg and then Ana, both nodding to him. He took a deep breath and shouted.
-"Let's go!"
He and Toothless took off first, followed by Ana, Meg then Valka, the gang and then all of Berk.
Everyone was now flying into the unknown, ready to a create a new village and mostly a whole new way of life in a total new territory.
They were flying farther away from their island, where they were born, where they grew up and when the people before them lived.
Hiccup couldn't help taking a last glimpse behind him, watching his forever home fading more and more. His heart squeezed when he was seeing his father statue from afar and the guilt started to build up in his chest. The guilt of not being able to protect the home his father left him in charge. But he had people to take care of and he knew it would be worth in the end.
He felt his eyes watering and quickly turned his head away, shaking it to control his emotions.
Of course, it didn't go unnoticed by his girlfriend.
-"You're okay?", Ana asked gently, getting closer with Dusk.
-"Yeah Yeah. It's just, you know, sad to leave the place you always knew as your home.", Hiccup chuckled nervously.
Ana felt his pain. A lot happened on this small island. They grew up together, they had their fights but mostly it's the place where everything started for them as a couple. She was trying to swallow her emotions, she needed to stay strong for Hiccup's sake.
-"I'm sorry. But hey, you're doing this for us, all of us. Dragons and humans. You're taking the right decision Hiccup. So don't worry. We will always stand by your side. You're our chief.", Ana offered him a comforting smile.
It made him instantly better.
-"Thank you babe. It means a lot. I couldn't have done everything I did without you. I need you.", Hiccup confessed.
Ana slightly blushed but smiled warmly.
-"And you'll always have me.", she winked.
Hiccup wanted to just jump on Dusk and kiss her till dawn. Ana was his greatest support, his greatest advisor and mainly, his greatest love.
-"I love you.", he mouthed.
-"I love you too.", Ana mouthed back.
She gave him one last smile before flying a bit further back to be by Valka side, also to give a bit of time alone with his thoughts and memories.
-"So, flying straight to the Hidden World? No break at all?"
Hiccup yelped as his sister's head appeared out of no were right in front of his eyes. She was upside down, staring at her brother.
-"Geez Meg, you scared the hell out of me.", Hiccup put a hand on his heart.
-"Oops, sorry.", she turned around to be sitting straight up again, Luna appearing under her.
-"You need to stop doing that.", Hiccup groaned.
-"What? The invisible dragon thing? Hey, that's just Luna's thing. And it's called being discreet. It showed to be greatly affective during missions.", Meg pointed.
-"Right.", Hiccup rolled his eyes.
-"So. Determined to go this magical place?", Meg asked again.
-"Yeah. I thought you were with me yesterday?", Hiccup raised an eyebrow.
-"And I still am. I was just asking if you were thinking of at least doing a few stops. Our dragons don't have unlimited energy you know. And so are our bladders.", Meg shrugged.
-"Yeah don't worry. Of course we will stop. But the only permanent stop will be the Hidden World.", Hiccup said.
-"Alrighty.", Meg nodded.
Hiccup looked at her and frowned.
-"You're sure you're with me in this?", Hiccup couldn't help ask again.
-"Yup. A hundred percent sure. I mean, I lived with dragons so I know it's cool. Oh! That would mean I will teach you the way of life I had before.", Meg clapped in her hands.
Hiccup laughed at his sister excitement.
He was thanking the god to have such precious people by his side.

-"So, you were working with one of the most skilled dragon killers but you still had a dragon?"
-"Great notice sis."
Hazel and Jon were flying behind the gang, finally having proper time to talk.
-"You need to know that Grimmel also has dragons of his own, some of the people around him have dragons. He just... goes for the Night Furies I guess.", Jon sighed, watching the black dragon ahead of them.
Hazel frowned and watched him stare at Toothless.
-"Jon. I need to know. If you hadn't found me here. Would you have killed Hiccup to get Toothless?", Hazel asked lowly.
Jon didn't answer right away. He watched the Haddock Twins talking happily, laughing together. Then he finally sighed.
-"Yes."
-"... You know that Meg would have killed you.", Hazel warned.
-"Right.", Jon scoffed.
-"I'm serious. When it comes to her brother, Meg can be quite... scary and heartless.", Hazel remembered some memories of her friend.
-"If you say so.", Jon shrugged.
Hazel raised her eyebrow.
-"Wow, such modesty. Please stop.", Hazel said sarcastically.
Jon scoffed. But Hazel kept talking.
-"Jon. You said that all this killing thing and working for Grimmel, it was just for me. To have a chance to reach for me.", Hazel spoke softly, "If Hiccup would have died, Meg would probably had become just like you.", Hazel told her brother.
Jon looked back at the Light Fury rider.
-"I know."
-"So if you know, you two should talk. And you should apologize.", Hazel put her hands on her hips.
-"Apologize? For what?", Jon shrugged.
-"Did you really asked why?", Hazel groaned.
-"Alright alright I will. Someday."
-"Oh my, swallow that big proud of yours and just go!", Hazel said.
-"Give me a break.", Jon groaned.
Hazel got closed with Silver, just to slap the back of Jon's head.
-"Owwww, alright I will!", Jon whined.
-"Good. Or I will shave the rest of that hair.", Hazel nodded proud.
-"What's wrong with everyone wanting to shave it!", Jon put his hand on his hair in defense.
-"Hey."
Jon blinked and lifted his head, to see a blue Nadder with a blond girl passing by.
-"Hey.", he smiled.
Hazel just watched the scene happening in front of her eyes and blinked. Astrid finally flew further ahead, leaving Jon and Hazel alone again.
Jon watched the girl leaving, still with his smile stuck on his lips. He finally got back to reality and turned his face back to his sister. Only to see a wild smirk spread on her face.
-"What?", he raised an eyebrow.
-"You have a crush on Astrid.", Hazel grinned.
Jon felt heat on his cheeks.
-"Pff, you wish!", Jon ignored.
-"OH MY GOD!! You are so in looooove of-"
-"Would you just shut up?!", Jon ordered.
-"I can't believe that! My brother, a emotionless killer, the most anti social person I know, actually have FEELINGS!!", Hazel teased.
-"You know what, I'm going to talk to Meg now.", Jon interrupted and told Thalos to fly to Meg.
Under Hazel still amused look.
Jon flew between dragons and finally got close enough to Meg.
-"So, I guess we're buddies now?", Jon grinned, a arm leaned on Thalos's head.
Meg heard and turned her head to look at him. She blinked and smiled.
-"Aww.", her smile faded, "Nice to know you're still able to dream.", Meg said and flew higher, away from him.
Jon blinked and looked at Hazel, putting his hands in the air in defeat.
Hazel face palmed and groaned.
-"Well would you look at that, my brother is an actual idiot."
A big island raised suddenly from the sea. After a yell from Fishlegs asking for a break, the flying village went to that island for finally resting their dear bladder.
