Epilog

It had been four months since Hiccup the Dragon Chief died protecting the future of the vikings and dragons for years to come and things have had managed to hold together without him, all thanks to the ingenious plans Hiccup had made before hand. Most people felt that Hiccup knew that he was going to die in that fight, but didn't know for sure.

Hiccup's mate was very distraught over losing him, but remained strong for their five children; Shadowfire, Hiclight, Moondancer, Shadestill and Spitflare. Hiccup's children were very saddened by the loss of their loving father and missed the silly tales he would come up with, Hiclight being the oldest knew he had to make sure when the time came to take his father's place and do his legacy honor.

As the years went by the story of Hiccup's life was kept true to every detail, so no one would think that any of the tales were just mere fantasy that someone made up. As time went on the people who personally knew Hiccup slowly passed away one by one until Stoick was the last one left and he used his last days making sure that Berk's history would not be forgoten.

Hundreds of years passed and the Alliance that Hiccup the Dragon Chief founded grew stronger and stronger eventually encompassing the areas where Norway, Sweeden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Greenland, Poland, Estonia, Lativa, Lithuania, Belarus, Newfoundland, Labrador, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Scotland, Faroe Islands would normally be as well as controlling the area around Moscow.

The government of the Alliance was that of a democratic republic unlike most of the world that was ruled by monarchs, but they held their ground and helped the other counties when the remains of the Roman Empire finally caved in by offering support. This led to things like the Dark Ages and the Black Plague from happening and a general improvement in living standards compared to the normal course of history

Over the years Hiccup's decedents would take the throne, but for the most part the government was ran by the ruling counsel that was elected by the people from the different parts of the land they controlled. When ever a war happened to break out between the other kingdoms they stayed out of it, unless they were attacked then the offender regretted their actions very quickly. The alliance kept the secrete of how to train dragons to them selves for many years, the only people they did share the knowledge with were their allies, the UK, USA, France, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Japan, China, Korea, Egypt, Russia, Romania, Mexico, Canada, Peru, Brazil, Turkey, Ukraine, Israel, Jordan, Spain, Madagascar, India, Venezuela, Costa Rica, and others; they all had to swear not to tell or show anyone that they did not trust how to train dragons and that they will keep a very close eye to make sure that they listened

Exploration was much easier thanks to the dragons and the alliance made first contact with the Native Americans long before Christopher Columbus and also met the Aztecs, Incas and Mayans making peace with them all and were surprised to find that they to had dragon riders, not as many but it did help relations between them as their dragons could translate for their riders. The same happened when the alliance meet the Asians as dragons were revered. This led to the whole world becoming connected a lot faster than normal and many of the other lands were willing to trade with these other lands, not that they could readily attack them as the alliance was watching their backs

The scientific community was able to flourish thanks to the alliance as Hiccup was a man far ahead of his times and not even the rise of Christianity could stop it. Speaking of theology, the alliance was able to show the mid eastern people that while there were a lot more evil dragons that lived in their area, most dragons were not and over time dragons became accepted among them. It did help that a higher power scolded them for their closed mindedness, reminding them that the savior told them to open their eyes and embrace others as if they were their own and love their enemies. So thanks to the higher power setting them strait and opened them up more to new ideas and letting them know that it was okay to find out how creation worked scientific discoveries were made sooner than they normally did

The industrial era still happened at the same time as all the following eras so all discoveries made afterwords still happened on time. So if we looked at their world compared to ours in 2017 we find that most of the world is actually at peace and that the alliance is still as strong as ever known as the Eternal Dragon Alliance with people riding dragons as well as planes, cars and boats, just not nearly as many as dragons can carry just as much as a small car. Due to dragons being around people had to keep pollution under control otherwise dragons would avoid the area like the plague and not return until it was cleaned up.

Slavery didn't last nearly as long due to the fact that the alliance outlawed it, but dragons made up for it and could do more than people. Equality was such a big thing in the alliance that by our day in age there was no difference on how people were treated based on gender or race. This did not mean that there was world peace, but it was fairly close. Wars happened at a less frequent rate and many kingdoms slowly turned into their more democratic versions of today. The massive populations in Asia also didn't reach such high numbers due to dragons taking up space and people didn't have to worry about making sure their family survived as much. The world population compared to ours is about 1/3 less due to some of the food going to the dragons. Also due to the dragons certain plants and animals were saved from extinction and the rain forests weren't damaged thanks to advances in farming techniques and boulder class dragons being able to till the land and help keep it fertilized

So in all their world is a better place with much of it's rich history surviving, people not going hungry nearly as much, people getting out more, dragons in nearly every household (the smaller ones that could fit), improvements in building codes so that houses didn't burn down from grumpy or angry dragons, people getting along with each other better, etc...

All this due to a shapeshifter who fought for what he believed in and showed others the truth about dragons. His decedents still ruling over the Eternal Dragon Alliance with Hiccup Horrendous Haddock XXXXXXVIII being the current Haddock in charge

Note: Man that was a bit hard to put together, but now that this tale is done I can move on to another fanfiction. If you wonder which one I might do then look at my profile page as I put a list of stories I plan on doing at some point. Thanks for being such loyal readers and I hope to see you again in my next venture
