Link meandered down to the table, his eyes scanning the crowd for Hiccup. He finally spotted him, heading towards the back of the line for food.

"Hiccup!" Link called, walking towards his friend.

Hiccup turned around, and smiled when he saw Link. He stopped walking, allowing Link to catch up to him. As soon as they were walking together, Hiccup smirked. "I didn't know your name was Link Link."

Link shrugged. "I don't see what's so funny. I couldn't remember my last name when I woke up, so I just went with my first name. I kind of like it, anyway."

Hiccup snickered. "If you say so."

"What, you got a better full name?" Link asked.

Hiccup's face turned bright red. "No. My full name is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III."

Link cracked up laughing. "Your last name is a fish, and your middle name means horrible!"

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry I teased you about your name," Hiccup said. "Just stop with mine."

Link continued laughing. "Okay, okay I'll stop." He abruptly stopped laughing and fell into a fit of coughing.

"That's what you get," Hiccup grumbled.

"You started it," Link retorted. "Anyways, let's get some food. I'm starving."

"All that talking make you hungry, Mr. Hero?" Hiccup asked.

"You know it," Link replied. They headed into the long line of the buffet. It moved fairly quickly with everyone scooping the food they wanted themselves. Link took a little of everything, wanting to try anything on the table. Hiccup only took the things he knew he liked, which were few and far between, for the people of Hyrule and of Berk ate very different things.

After they walked down the entire table, the duo began walking through the enormous crowd of people looking for a place to sit. Link smiled as they walked past everyone. He saw Gerudo sitting with Rito, Zoras with Gorons, and Hylians with Vikings. All these different races that hadn't encountered each other for 100 years or more where now sitting together. Zelda had been right. This wasn't just a ceremony to get a new Queen. This was a chance to begin a new era of peace for Hyrule. A chance to reunite the country under one flag, but more importantly, to reunite all the different cultures that had been separated for 100 years by the Great Calamity.

Finally, Hiccup pointed to a small patch of grass no one was sitting on. Link followed him to it, and they sat down. Link immediately began wolfing down his food, while Hiccup ate his much slower.

"Why are you eating so fast?" Hiccup asked.

Link shrugged. "Bad habit, I guess. When you live out in the wild for a long time, you learn to eat fast to avoid staying in one spot for too long," he explained through a mouthful of food.

Hiccup grimaced. "I can't believe you live with royalty."

Link swallowed, and laughed. "Zelda can't believe it either."

Hiccup had to laugh at that. "So, when will we get to meet the leaders of the other races?"

"When we're done eating," Link replied, shoving his last bite in his mouth.

"More like when I'm done," Hiccup retorted.

Link laughed. He sat quietly, waiting for his friend to finish. When Hiccup finally finished, they stood up and deserted their spot. It was immediately taken by a Zora and a Gerudo. Link looked for any one of the leaders, and quickly spotted Bludo standing on a tall rock, bragging to a small crowd of some heroic thing he did a long time ago.

"This way," Link said to Hiccup. He set off in the direction of the Goron leader, making sure not to step on anyone.

"-and then the dragon breathed scorching flames from its terrible mouth!" Bludo was saying. Hiccup still couldn't hear him, since Viking's round ears were incredibly ineffective. Link abruptly started walking really slow, hoping for Bludo to finish the story before Hiccup heard him. "And I took my Cobble Crusher, and smashed the blade down onto the beast's skull! It crashed straight down into the lava, and I, Bludo, Boss of the Gorons, was victorious again!" The crowd cheered, but Hiccup had a look of disgust on his face.

Link groaned. "You heard that didn't you?"

"He kills dragons?" Hiccup exclaimed.

"He's just kidding! A long, long time ago, like in the Hero of Time's era, there was a dragon known as Volvagia. Volvagia ate Gorons, so Gorons don't really like dragons that much. But there hasn't been a hostile dragon in Hyrule since the Hero of Twilight defeated Stallord. Wait, none of that made any sense to you, did it?" Hiccup shook his head. "The point is, Bludo just likes to brag, and makes up a lot of heroic stories. There was no dragon that he killed. Even the Gorons respect Dinraal."

Hiccup nodded. "Okay," he sighed. "Let's go say hi."

Link walked up to the Goron, who turned to him, a bright smile on his face. "Hey there, brother!"

"Hello, Bludo," Link replied.

"Who have ya got there?" Bludo asked, gesturing to Hiccup.

"This is my friend, Hiccup," Link answered. "He helped me defeat Calamity Ganon."

"Ya don't say!" Bludo exclaimed, giving Hiccup a hard slap on the back. "Well done, little fella!"

"Uh, thanks," Hiccup said quietly. He obviously wasn't used to all the attention either.

"So, how did you two meet?" Bludo questioned.

"Well, my friend, Fishlegs, who is here somewhere, found these documents from Hyrule," Hiccup began. "We translated them into our written language, Norse, and decided to try and find Hyrule. We flew all day on our dragons," Bludo frowned here, "and eventually ended up in Hateno Village. Then, Link's horse, Storm rode into the village with Link unconscious on his back. No one else could heal him, so I volunteered. He woke up, and then we met, I guess."

"The great Hero of Hyrule, fatally injured?" Bludo concluded, eyebrows raised.

"Yep," Link agreed. "Hiccup's saved my life twice, in fact. While I was fighting the Calamity, he pinned me down on the floor. I was going to die for sure, but Hiccup arrived just in time and distracted him, so I could get up again."

"Wow! Yar not as wimpy as I thought! Can't judge a book by its cover, I guess," Bludo said. "Well, it was nice meeting ya, Hiccup. I'm starving! I haven't eaten yet."

"We'll let you get to it," Link said, allowing the Goron to walk past him.

"I can't believe he hates dragons," Hiccup said, looking towards where all the Viking's dragons were landed.

"Well, I'm sure if your people used to get eaten by them, you wouldn't like them so much either," Link replied.

"Actually, dragons used to steal all our food. The Vikings were always at war with dragons. But I couldn't stand to kill them, so I tamed Toothless and eventually learned that the dragons were being enslaved by this huge dragon called the Green Death," Hiccup explained.

"So, what did you do?" Link asked.

"Killed the Green Death and now almost every Viking has a dragon companion," Hiccup answered.

Link shrugged. "Not so different from the Gorons. The Hero of Time destroyed Volvagia, and the Gorons were happy. Now, Dinraal flies over Goron City fairly often, and they don't try to kill him. Plus, I'm sure with Hyrule's new alliance with Berk the Gorons will realize how awesome dragons are. It just might take some time."

"I guess," Hiccup agreed.

"Oh! There's Kaneli!" Link said, pointing towards the large Rito. He was sitting on a patch of grass, surrounded by other Rito. Teba was standing next to his elder, his eyes wandering across the crowd, as if making sure no one posed a threat. Link carefully made his way through the field, Hiccup following closely behind him.

"Who's Kaneli?" Hiccup asked as they walked.

"The elder of the Rito. The Rito have no strict government, but they treat Kaneli like their leader," Link replied.

"Do they hate dragons?" Hiccup questioned.

Link laughed. "No, the Rito have no affiliation with dragons."

Hiccup nodded. They walked the rest of the way in silence.

Kaneli looked up towards them as they approached. Link waved to Teba, who simply nodded in acknowledgement. "Hello, Champion Descendant," Kaneli greeted as Link came closer.

"Hello, Kaneli," Link replied. Hiccup looked confused, but didn't say anything.

"Who is this young fellow?" Kaneli asked.

"This is my good friend, Hiccup," Link answered.

"Ah, a Viking," Kaneli concluded. "You must tell me how you train dragons."

"Well, it's different for every species," Hiccup began, obviously happy to talk about something he liked. "But you always have to gain their trust first. After you do that, they'll be your friend for life."

"Do you have a dragon yourself?" Kaneli inquired.

"Yes," Hiccup said, then called, "Toothless!" Link, Kaneli, and Hiccup all looked toward the huge pack of dragons. One of them detached themselves from the group. It appeared smaller than most of the dragons, and it was black. Hiccup smiled as his Night Fury flew over towards him. The dragon landed right in front of Kaneli, who looked amazed.

"Astounding," he said, his eyes wide. "What kind of dragon is this?"

"A Night Fury," Hiccup answered. "This is the last one as far as we know."

Kaneli frowned. "How unfortunate."

"Yes," Hiccup agreed. "We've searched all over for another one, but we've never found anything."

Kaneli nodded. "Fascinating. Well, I will most certainly tell you if I ever see another Night Fury."

"Thanks," Hiccup said, smiling.

"You should get going," Kaneli sighed. "All this talking with you young ones is making me tired. Hoo hoo."

Hiccup politely excused himself, and followed Link away from the elderly Rito Toothless. "Why did he call you Champion Descendant?" Hiccup asked.

"He, along with all the other Rito, believe I'm a descendant of...myself, I guess… from 100 years ago," Link answered, looking for Riju.

"You never told them otherwise?" Hiccup questioned.

"Never saw any reason to," Link answered simply. "Alright! Last leader. Riju of the Gerudo." He pointed towards the chieftain, who was sitting with several other Gerudo. Buliara stood over Riju, carefully watching anyone and anything that came too close for comfort.

"She looks really short," Hiccup commented.

"Riju is twelve!" Link laughed.

"Why would they have twelve-year-old leader?" Hiccup asked, incredulous.

Link's face darkened. "The Gerudo's leadership is passed down strictly by bloodline. When Riju's mother, the previous chieftain, died young, the poor girl was left with an entire race to govern."

"That's terrible," Hiccup said sadly.

Link nodded. "But don't talk about it. That makes her really sad."

Buliara tightened her grip on her spear as the pair approached. Riju politely ended the conversation she was having with the other Gerudo, and stood up to meet Link. She waved Buliara off, who scowled, but lowered the weapon. "Link!" Riju cried excitedly. She held out her arms, and Link accepted the embrace. "How are you?"

"Good," Link replied, smiling. Hiccup just stood awkwardly until Link noticed him. "Oh, this is my friend, Hiccup."

"Sav'saaba, Hiccup," Riju said with a nod.

Hiccup looked confused, so Link whispered to him, "That means good evening in the Gerudo's language."

"Oh. Good evening as well, Riju," Hiccup replied.

"That is Chieftain Riju to you," Buliara corrected, pointing the spear at Hiccup.

"Buliara, lower the weapon. Hiccup is Link's friend, so he may call me whatever he likes," Riju commanded. Buliara did as she was told, but that didn't mean she had to be pleased about it. "Link, I must say you look much better in Hylian clothes than the Gerudo's apparel." Link laughed, but his eyes flicked towards Hiccup.

"I thought the Gerudo were all women," Hiccup said.

"They are," Link answered, his face turning red.

"So, you're telling me you dressed up like a girl?" Hiccup concluded, smirking.

"I had to!" Link retorted. "I needed help taking out Divine Beast Vah Naboris, so I had to get into the city. They don't let men into their city."

Hiccup just busted up laughing. Link suddenly found the grass to be incredibly interesting. Riju just looked at the two of them, unsure of what to say. "So, you have a girl's outfit?" Hiccup cried.

"Stop, people could hear you," Link hissed.

"Okay, fine," Hiccup replied. He quit laughing, but the smirk remained on his face.

"You are embarrassed?" Riju asked Link.

"Well, yeah," Link answered. "How would you feel if someone caught you dressed like a man?"

Riju snickered at the idea. "Probably pretty embarrassed. But, then again, I wouldn't ever dress like a voe."

"A voe?" Hiccup repeated.

Riju cocked her head. "You don't know any of our language, do you? Voe means male."

"No, I'm a Viking. We're from an island called Berk about a day's flight away on dragonback," Hiccup explained.

"How about on boat?" Riju inquired.

"I don't know," Hiccup admitted. "We almost always fly dragons. The only people from Hyrule to ever visit Berk are Link and the Queen, and they both have dragons."

"Queen Zelda has a dragon?" Riju said.

"She does. I got her one for her birthday," Link said proudly.

"I bet the dragon is beautiful," Riju sighed.

Link nodded. "Athena is indeed beautiful."

"Did she name it?" Riju questioned.

"Yeah. She's much better at that then me. I named mine Reaper," Link said.

"Reaper is a great name," Riju argued. "But I must ask, what is this dragon's name?" she gestured to Toothless."

Buliara stepped forward. "Enough childish chatter, Riju. Some of your people would like to speak to you." Riju sighed, but turned to speak with the two Gerudo that had approached her.

Link and Hiccup began walking away from the Chieftain aimlessly. They had no real destination anymore. "All the leaders here are so nice," Hiccup commented.

"Yeah," Link agreed.

"Do you think Zelda will be a good Queen?" Hiccup asked.

Link looked at his friend. "Of course! She's going to be the best monarch Hyrule's ever had!"

Hiccup nodded.

Suddenly, Link stopped walking. He tilted his head, listening. He could barely hear children's voices, but they steadily got louder and louder. Finally, Link could make out what they were saying. "Mr. Link! Mr. Link!" the called. Link turned around. The three children that had helped earlier that day raced up to him.

Link smiled. "Hey guys!"

"Will you show us who helped you defeat Calamity Ganon?" one of the boys asked.

"You promised," the girl added.

"He's right here," Link said pointing to Hiccup, who waved.

The kids ran up to Hiccup, firing question after question at him. "Whoa, slow down. I can only answer one at a time."

The other boy stepped forward. "What's your name?"

"Hiccup," Hiccup replied.

"What's that?" the girl asked, pointing at Toothless, who had been sitting behind Hiccup.

"This is Toothless, my dragon," Hiccup answered.

"Can he breathe fire?" one of the boys asked hopefully.

"He can breathe plasma," Hiccup said. All three children and Link looked confused, so Hiccup had Toothless perform a demonstration.

"Whoa! Purple fire!" the boys cheered.

"Can we pet him?" the girl asked, tentatively reaching her hand out. Toothless reached his snout forward, allowing the girl to run her hand over his black scales. The little girl giggled as she petted the dragon, and Toothless looked incredibly content.

"Did you kill Calamity Ganon?" one of the boys asked.

"No," Hiccup replied. The two boys looked disappointed. "I followed Link to Ganon's castle, and when I arrived Ganon was about to kill Link." The boys gasped. The little girl quit petting Toothless, and looked at Hiccup, her eyes wide. "So Toothless shot it, distracted it, and Link was able to recover."

"Wow!" all three cried in unison. They began to shower Link with questions, but their father walked up to them at that moment.

"Let's leave Link and his friend alone now," their father commanded gently. The kids stopped bombarding Link with questions, and raced to their dad, talking excitedly amongst themselves. "Thank you, Hero," their dad said, smiling. Link raised an eyebrow. "Er-Link."

"You're quite welcome," Link answered. The man led his kids away from Link and Hiccup, back towards a middle-aged woman, presumably the wife and mother.

"What was that about?" Hiccup asked Link.

"What do you mean?" Link questioned, confused.

"You didn't let that man call you Hero," Hiccup explained.

"Oh. Well, earlier today that man and his kids helped me set up the table and red carpet. I talked with the kids a bit, and then gave them fifty rupees each-"

"Rupees?" Hiccup interrupted.

"Our currency," Link explained. "What do you use?"

"Coins," Hiccup answered, pulling out a silver circle with a picture of some Viking on it.

"Cool," Link decided. "Anyway, I paid the kids along with everyone else, and the dad asked me how he could ever thank me. I said he could repay me by just calling me Link. I hate being called Hero. I'm no 'hero.' I would be dead if it weren't for you."

"That's not true," Hiccup retorted.

Link snickered. "You know it is."

Just at that moment, Stoick walked up to them. Following behind him was a huge dragon with a large horn on its nose. Stoick rubbed Toothless on the head as he walked past the dragon. "Well, congratulations, Link."

"Thanks," Link replied.

"That was quite the ceremony. Much fancier than I expected," Stoick continued. "Anyway, it's time for us to return to Berk, Hiccup."

"Aw," Hiccup and Link whined in unison.

Stoick laughed. "Sorry, but we really need to get going. Everyone else is ready."

Hiccup sighed. "Okay." He mounted Toothless, and looked down at Link.

"Bye, Hiccup," Link said. He waved to Hiccup, as the Viking flew off.

"Bye, Link!" Hiccup called as Toothless carried him towards the huge flock of dragons that were flying in place. With the sunset behind them, all the dragons were silhouetted, and appeared black. As soon as Toothless and Stoick's dragon joined them, the entire flock flew off. Link continued waving until the entire fleet had disappeared over the horizon.

"You'll see him soon," Zelda's voice said from behind him.

"What do you mean?" Link asked. He hadn't realized Zelda was behind him.

"Well, I've been meaning to tell you, but I didn't want to interrupt you and Hiccup's gabbing-" Zelda began.

"We weren't gabbing!" Link interrupted indignantly.

"You were totally gabbing," Zelda giggled. "Anyway, I have been planning to make you Hyrule's ambassador. Anytime we have interactions with foreign countries, you'll be there."

"So, I get to see Hiccup a lot?" Link asked.

"Yep," Zelda said, smiling.

"Yes!" Link exclaimed, pumping his fist in the air.

"The other thing I've been meaning to tell you is since you and Hiccup will be having a lot of meetings together, we might as well get a travel pad out on Berk. So tomorrow, you and Reaper will be flying Purah and Robbie out to Berk to work on a travel pad. You'll probably be there for months," Zelda explained.

"Months?" Link repeated.

"Months," Zelda confirmed.

"Double yes!" Link exclaimed, pumping both fists in the air. "That's going to be awesome!"

Zelda laughed. "You should probably go to bed first, hotshot."

Link sighed. "If you say so."
