Due to many requests, I'm uploading an Epilogue as a finish to this Fan Fiction. And yes I know, it's longer than a normal Epilogue should be but I got carried away with detail. I mostly wanted to get in how Toothless and Hiccup feel the day after he returned home. Anyway, please review and let me know if this is what you all asked for. I tried to consider everyone's question and suggestions for this chapter. If I missed someone, I'm sorry. I could always go back in and edit if it seems like it will work well with the ending. Anyway, enjoy!


The next morning, Stoick woke at dawn. For the first time in weeks he had finally gotten a restful and peaceful sleep. He stretched, put on his helmet and went up to Hiccups room. But when he got there, his heart nearly jumped into his throat as his face paled. Hiccup was gone.

"No..." He whispered. He rushed to the bed and looked under it, around it, behind it. Hiccup was nowhere to be found. Suddenly he heard an all too familiar coo. A sound his son always makes when he's disturbed in sleep. Stoick looked around until his eyes fell on a tuft of auburn hair under Toothless' black wing. Stoick walked up to the dragon and carefully lifted the wing just enough to peek under it. Sure enough, there was Hiccup, sound asleep in the arms of his beloved dragon. He shifted a little in sleep and Toothless simply nuzzled his head in his sleep. Stoick smiled at the two as he let out a relieved sigh. He stood and walked down the stairs.

"I swear, if he scares me like that again, I'm gonna tie him to my belt. Then he'll never disappear." Stoick joked before leaving the house.

A few hours later, Toothless woke from the morning sun shining into the room and onto his face. He unconsciously tightened his arms around the Hiccup before looking down at him. He gently lifted a wing off of his rider and sniffed his head. Hiccup hummed in his sleep and curled up a little tighter in the dragons arms as he nuzzled his face into the dragons chest. Toothless could feel the boys even breath on his chest and trailing down his stomach. He purred softly as he nudged Hiccup's head trying to wake him. Hiccup groaned and curled up tighter against the dragon.

"Five more minutes." He mumbled into the reptiles scaly chest only half awake. Toothless cooed and nudged Hiccup's head again. Hiccup lifted his arm out of the dragons embrace and pushed the dragons head away. Toothless took the opportunity to maneuver his paw over the boys exposed side. Just as the boy was bringing his arm back down, Toothless began flexing his claws effectively tickling the boy. Hiccup jumped with a yelp before he started laughing and trying to get the dragon to stop.

"Toothless! Toothless stop! I'm up, I'm up!" Hiccup shouted through his laughs as he pushed at the dragons large paw. Toothless laughed and let the boy get up and walk to his bed where his vest was before he stood up and stretched. He suddenly felt something soft yet firm hit his head. He looked to the ground where the object had fallen and saw Hiccup's pillow on the floor. He looked to the bed where Hiccup was but the boy was gone. A familiar laugh made him direct his attention to the stairs where he saw Hiccup running down them and toward the door. Toothless sprung into motion and ran after the boy. Hiccup looked over his shoulder and laughed louder as he saw his dragon happily in pursuit. They ran nearly to the center of the village where activity was at its high. Toothless pounced on the boy, knocking him to the floor and licked his face repeatedly while the boy tried to block him all while laughing. A few of the working Vikings around stopped and watched the two fool around. A few laughing at the sight.

Stoick heard some commotion near the center of the village. He walked to the center of the village and was greeted by the sight of his son lying on his back in the center of town laughing his head off while Toothless stood over him and continuously licked his face. Stoick laughed heartily at the sight before walking up to the two. Toothless stopped his assault when he saw the chief walk over. Hiccup still had left over giggles spilling from his lips. He looked up at his father before getting to his feet. Toothless nuzzled him gently with a purr. Hiccup wiped his face and pet his dragon.

"Hey dad." Hiccup said.

"Good morning son. How did you sleep last night."

"Great." Hiccup answered. Stoick clapped a hand on his sons shoulder.

"Very good. Just one thing. If you are going to sleep hidden under Toothless' wings, let me know. You nearly gave me a heart attack this morning." Stoick chuckled. Hiccup laughed and patted his dragons head.

"It's not my fault. Toothless dragged me from my bed to sleep under his wings." Hiccup said. Stoick laughed.

"I'd say he missed you." Stoick answered with a laugh.

Later in the day, Hiccup was sitting on a sea stack with Toothless beside him. He couldn't stop thinking about the other slaves that were sold along with him but to other owners. It wasn't fair that him and all of the slaves he worked with escaped and they still have to go through slavery and the pain and suffering it brings. Hiccup looked at Toothless.

"Well bud, what do you say we go free some innocent hostages." Hiccup said. Toothless nuzzled him with a worried growl. "I know bud." He chuckled. "But I can't move on like everything is fine. Not when I know there are innocent people out there just like me still enslaved and being beaten." Hiccup said. Toothless licked his face. "You would do anything to save me wouldn't you?" He asked holding the dragons head in his hands and looking into his eyes. Toothless purred as if to confirm his question with a yes. "Well imagine I was one of those slaves and had no way to escape and no hope of ever seeing you again." Hiccup said. He stood up and soon, so did Toothless. They flew off the sea stake and back to Berk.

"No, no, no!" Stoick said sternly as he slammed his cup on the table in their house. "I'm not risking losing you again Hiccup." Stoick said.

"Dad, please. I can't rest knowing there are still slaves out there who are being beaten and worked so hard they nearly die." Hiccup said.

"Enough Hiccup. You are not a slave anymore and I am not risking you becoming one again." Stoick said harshly.

"Please dad..."

"I said NO!" He shouted.

"WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST HICCUP'S!" Hiccup shouted. Stoick silenced immediately and looked at his son in shock and guilt.

"Hiccup... I have nothing against you."

"Then let me help the people who are no different then me. If you don't have anything against people like me then prove it. Let me save them." Hiccup said, his voice settling down to a suitable volume. Stoick sighed.

"Very well. But under one condition." Stoick said. Hiccup looked at him expectantly. "I am coming with you and I'm bringing a few men to back us up if we need to fight." Stoick said. Hiccup nodded.

That night, Hiccup, Stoick, Astrid, Snotlout, Fishlegs, the twins, Gobber Spitelout and a few other Vikings mounted their dragons and took off, flying East. Hiccup could remember the direction the ship was heading when he was taken. After a long flight of nearly five hours, They came to an island where several men were sneaking around. One had a sack slung over his shoulder and something was moving inside. Hiccup used hand signals to communicate with the other riders. He swooped down after getting his message across. He landed with a loud thud in front of the men. They jumped and readied themselves to face the strange black mass that had fallen in front of them. They then saw glowing green eyes and pearl white sharp teeth. A set of wings extended out on either side of it and a loud threatening roar came from the mouth. An unnaturally small boy hopped off its back and came into the light and glared at the men.

"Remember me?" He asked.

"You!" Baltar hissed at him.

"Yeah. Me. And this time, I'm not alone. My friend has a little something to say to you." Hiccup said stepping aside for Toothless to get through. He shot a plasma blast at all of the men. The sack they were holding fell to the ground and a young boy around the age of twelve crawled out. Once he saw Toothless he jumped back.

"It's okay." Hiccup said softly. "He won't hurt you. We're here to help you get back home." Hiccup said. The boy just looked at him in awe as if he was looking at a god.

Their next stop was the slave cart. Stoick and Hiccup used their dragons to break the door off as silently as possible and snuck all of the trapped slaves out and onto the dragons. Returning all of them to their homes, Hiccup and the others went back to the slave trade and found the trader.

Stoick had the man up against the wall and was demanding answers from him. He refused to tell him anything. That is until Stoick took out his sword and held it to the mans throat. He spilled everything they needed to know. Where all of the slaves were sent to. Stoick then tied the man up and threw him inside the trading wagon before flying off with the others.

They were able to reach all of the island before sun rise and all of the slaves were riding on the dragons. Hiccup had a smile on his face that never faded for a second. He was able to save all of the slaves and return them home. All but one. A small eight year old slave. He had just started the year before and when he was taken, his family tried to save him and the slave collectors burned down his whole village, killing his family in the process. The boy was an orphan with no family left to turn to. He had led them to the village he once lived on and was horrified to see it was gone. Hiccup looked to his father as the boy stood stunned and brokenhearted in front of his burned down home. Stoick looked at the frightened and small child.

"What is your name, young one." Stoick said to the boy. The child quickly turned and stepped back with a wince hearing a stern tone in the mans voice.

"H-Hanton." He stuttered in fear. Stoick hopped off his dragon and approached the boy who back up with a whimper. Stoick got down on his knees to look a bit smaller and less intimidating which was in fact very hard to do seeing as how big and muscular the man was.

"It's alright. I won't hurt you." He said softly. Hanton didn't move from his stop several feet away from the man but he did look at him as if he were listening to what he had to say. "You are welcome in my village. The island of Berk. We have a couple who would love to have a child but is not able to. I'm sure they would love to take you into their family." Stoick said. Hanton looked at him warily. Stoick held a hand out to him. Hanton cautiously took small steps toward the man until he was standing right beside his hand. Stoick gently placed a hand on his shoulder and the boy relaxed seeing that he was in no danger with this man. Stoick helped him up on Thornado and they flew back to Berk.

Hiccup and Stoick introduced Hanton to the lonely couple and they were instantly welcoming and took the boy in as their own. And finally after a week of pain and worry, everyone was back where they belong. Hiccup was home, the slaves were free and everyone was pretty sure the slave trade was out of business thanks to Stoick flying back over the island where the slave trade was held and burned the cart and stage. And Alvin and his crew were sure to be gone for quite a while trying to get out of Hiccups little 'mess'. After all, everywhere he goes, disaster follows. Maybe that's not always a bad thing anymore.
