Epilogue

As time went by, Hiccup had grown fairly used to his Dragon Nights, as he called them. He was brave enough to let the people know that this was a new condition for him right now, but he wouldn't deny that explaining what Loki had told him made him blush. To say that you have the soul of a dragon that demands to have its flesh-and-bone wings is a bit awkward.

Very few people found it surprising that his title as the Dragon Chief had been taken to a more literal level. In fact the most comical reaction came from Snotlout, he was already jealous of his cousin for being the Chief, when during his childhood he'd been led into believing he would be Chief; but now his cousin was basically half dragon! He was seething with jealousy.

During the passing days, they were frequently visited by the Berserkers, who would bring goods and gifts to Berk as a token of their gratitude. Goosefoot promised Hiccup that he would know how grateful the Berserkers were for all that he did for them.

Oftentimes with the ships, came Vengeance. The male Skrill would usually ignore the villagers, with the exception of Claudette, because where there was Claudette, them that meant that Whoshadow was nearby. After Whoshadow had finally gotten her revenge of Dagur, she had mellowed out quite a bit, and became quite affectionate towards Vengeance.

When the Berserkers were ready to have their dragons back, Whoshadow was upset to see Vengeance leave; and so these visits were always treasured between the two Skrills. They eventually mated and had three hatchlings, and two of them took after their mother! So yeah, they kept Berk on its toes.

Other visitors now included the dragons of the Thunder Queen's nest and sometimes the Thunder Queen herself. Sometimes even the dragons brought a gift of their own, usually it would be a fresh exotic kill or a branch from a tree that bore fruit. In return the dragons were welcome to mingle with the dragons of Berk and dine from the feeding stations; and as a bonus, Toothless got to see his parents just about every time they came over.

Once she grew into her toddler stage, Anora found out that, like her father, she could assume the form of a dragon at will; but she was a sea-green Stormcutter with lilac and blue accents.

The first time this happened turned out to be an accident. Anora was almost two-years-old and Midnightfire was trying to teach her how to play fight; and as they got more invested in their tussle, Anora eventually found herself in a dragon form, and Midnightfire absolutely refused to allow their fathers to change Anora back until after she had the time to show Anora how to fly. She could get airborne for a few seconds, but for a human-toddler-turned-dragon coordinating four wings was just too tough to figure out. So Midnightfire gave up on it for now, and Anora somehow figured out how to return to human form on her own.

With Midnightfire still being a part of the subject, she did come to Hiccup and asked him about naming her breed. After all, she wasn't a Night Fury, but a subspecies, like the Screaming Death was the subspecies of a Whispering Death.

Well, for their ability to take in the lightning and after finding out that they could fly better than Night Furies in storms for some reason yet to be discovered, Hiccup decided to pronounce Midnightfire's breed a Storm Fury. Fitting, but not as obvious as something like: 'Lightning Fury'.

As far as the general routine for Hiccup's Dragon Nights went, they basically went something like this:

Sun goes down, 'POOF' he's either a Storm Fury or Lightning Fury, he found out that he could pick between those two. After the dizzy spell wore off, Toothless and Sapphire encouraged him into play fighting with them. Sometimes he would play one of their games, but other times he just wanted to get into the sky right away, and that normally led into Toothless chasing after him.

All in all, everything was going smoothly on Berk, and the new life of the Dragon Chief was the perfect balance of peace and chaos, just to make it fun.
