"You're my mother?!" Hiccup snapped as Valka flinched back, that was not the reaction she was hoping, but it was the one she'd been dreading.

"Hiccup I-"

"Don't 'Hiccup I-' me! How in Thor's name are you possibly my mother! Dad told me that she was always sweet and kind! But what sweet kind person would abandon her own child?!" He snarled, Valka was almost a foot taller than Hiccup, but he towered over her. Rage was burning in his green eyes while tears were forming in her teal ones, "Do you have ANY idea how much bullying and verbal abuse I took! I NEEDED a mom countless times! Dad is a horrible father!"

"Hiccup, don't bring your father into my mistakes-"

"No! He TOTALLY deserves to be brought into this! I bet you remember that he was such a great dad, when I was a BABY! Ever since you 'died' he became bitter." Hiccup snarled as Valka shrank back. Her lip quivered in terror as Hiccup advanced on her.

"I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU! And how dismissive you were when you found out it was me-"

"Hiccup, please. I-I'm so sorry. I know I shouldn't have left you and your father. And I regretted it an missed you for the last 15 years." Valka sobbed as Hiccup's face maintained his disapproving frown.

"Then why didn't you come back?" He questioned as Valka choked out a sob.

"Because I thought that you'd be safer if I did." She cried as she stood up, but Hiccup angrily stepped away from her as the door opened up and two guards pushed Stoick in, who shot them an angry glare before turning around and gasping as his eyes laid an Hiccup, who sent him a cool glare.

"Oh, let me guess." Hiccup snapped as he stomped over to Stoick, "'Hiccup! Son, I'm so happy to see you again! Now go and kill that dragon because that's the only reason I'm proud of you!'" He mocked in his Stoick impression, catching him off guard.

"Hiccup, what in Odin's name are you talking about?-"

"YOU TWO ARE THE WORST PARENTS IN HISTORY!" Hiccup concluded before sprinting out of the dungeon, tears glimmered in his eyes as he ran out into the sunlight. He whistled for Toothless and quickly jumped onto his back and struggled to latch his foot into the stirrup.

"Hiccup Haddock?" A voice asked as Mala walked up to the pair.

"WHAT?!" He snarled before looking down shamefully, "yeah?"

"That was your father, wasn't it?" She asked as Hiccup sniffed and slowly nodded, "And that woman, it was your mother."

"Neither of them have ever been there for me. Physically and emotionally." He sighed before finally shoving his foot into the stirrup.

"Where are you going?" She questioned as Hiccup grunted in annoyance.

"Away." He muttered as Mala raised an eyebrow.

"Forever?"

"No, I just need to clear my head."

"Okay." Mala said as Hiccup's head whipped around towards her.

"You're not going to object?" He asked in shock as Mala shrugged.

"You are not my child. Who am I to tell you what you can and cannot do?" She inquired as Hiccup raised an eyebrow.

"But, you're the queen of this tribe." He countered.

"I do take my power and responsibility as leader very seriously when it comes to matters like battles and hostages. But you have freedoms under my control. Is that not what you had in your home?" Mala asked as Hiccup sighed.

"I had that. But then I did something stupid and ended up burning down half of the village." He muttered as Mala gave him a sad smile.

"Watch out for Dragon Hunters." She warned as Hiccup gave her a small smile.

"Thanks Mala." He muttered before taking off into the puffy white clouds.

"What in Thor's name was that?" Stoick questioned as he stared in Hiccup's direction, before looking over at Valka, who had began crying in the corner, "Valka, what's wrong?"

"H-He hates me." She choked as Stoick rushed to her side and put a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"Valka, he'll warm up to you, I promise." He assured, but then Valka pulled her shoulder away and maintained her stare at the floor.

"No. He won't." She muttered before standing up and giving Stoick an almost unreadable look, "He told me that you changed after I was taken away."

"Well of course I changed. I was heartbroken." He said as Valka's expression darkened.

"He told me you became bitter. Did you?" She questioned as Stoick's eyes became sympathetic.

"Valka I-"

"Did you?" She asked more forcefully.

"Yes. But I thought I was toughening him up. I didn't realize how much I was actually-"

"How could you do that to your own son?!" Valka snapped, "Hiccup was right. You are a horrible father."

"He said that?" Stoick asked softly.

"Yes." She snarled as Stoick's expression hardened

"Hey, don't try and guilt trip me. You have no idea how much pain I went through after you left. I had to raise a child and run a village alone." Stoick spat as Valka's eyes widened angrily.

"I was saving dragons from an evil warlord. You were killing them for fun!" She snapped as Stoick stepped forwards angrily, towering over her, but that didn't deture her in the slightest.

"For fun? You think I wanted to risk my men's lives and my own? Valka, you have no idea how much I would rather those demons just leave us for good!" He snarled as Valka pushed past him angrily.

"To think I actually thought you changed." She whispered with more venom than in all of a Nadder's spines.

"Changed from what? The last time we saw each other was 15 years ago, of course I changed! But I'm still the man you married! You're acting like I went from an innocent little bunny to a snarling dragon. That dragon was always there, it was just more in check." Stoick countered as Valka's glare soon became smudged with tears.

"The man I married would have never treated his son like dirt." She hissed, bringing their original topic back on track.

"And the woman I married would have never left her husband and son." He countered half heartedly as Valka sat down with her head tucked into her knees, obviously trying to hide her tears, but the soft weeping gave it away.

"Valka..." Stoick said softly before sitting next to her and putting a hand on her shoulder, "I'm sorry. Our fights can get bad. And in the heat of the moment I can say things I regret."

Valka finally lifted her head up and wiped her eyes sadly.

"Me too. I missed all of my own son's life, and I took my frustration with myself out on you." She mumbled as Stoick moved closer to her before giving her a one-armed hug and giving her a rousing shake.

"Don't worry Val." He assured as Valka sniffed and smiled, "We'll get out of here, and when we do, we'll fly your dragon back to Berk and you can go off saving dragons from some warlord."

"Actually, I was thinking I should just stay on Berk." She admitted as Stoick looked at her in shock and amusement, "Our relationship was pretty shaky when I left and I don't think staying apart from each other any longer will do us any good."

"Oh Valka!" He exclaimed before picking her up with ease and throwing her into the air. Valka laughed as Stoick caught her and pulled her into a tight, loving hug.

"You don't have any idea how happy I am to hear that!" He grinned as Valka smiled, but then it soon faded as she looked around the stone walls.

"If only Hiccup would join us..." She trailed off as Stoick gave her a sympathetic look.

"I know. But at least we'll have eachother. I don't know how many unbearably miserable nights I would've had if you hadn't shown up. I wouldn't even know he was alive. We can still make this work, I promise." He assured as Valka gave him a small smile.

"You're just lucky I trust you so much." She said playfully, her eyes gleaming with joy.

"AHHHHHHHH!" Hiccup screamed in frustration as he and Toothless slid through the puffy white clouds, "They're just so, so..."

"Aggravating?" A voice asked as Cami flew up next to them on Windslicer.

"Oh, hey Cami." He muttered as she frowned and leaned forwards so Windslicer who be a little ahead of Hiccup.

"They're trying to make amends. You know that." She assured, Hiccup refusing to make eye contact.

"Do they really expect me to forgive them?" He asked irritably as Cami smiled.

"Yes. They do. Because they can't see from your perspective."She said as Hiccup frowned and maintained his forward glare.

"My mom thinks that she can just leave me for 15 years and I'll forgive and love her. Isn't that a little far fetched?" He questioned as Cami shrugged.

"Maybe a little." She said as Hiccup finally looked over at her, "But she would never have left if that dragon had never take her. Have you ever thought of that?"

"But she could've come back." He countered.

"Thinking it was best for you. A parent can make mistakes. But its up to their child to forgive them." She said as Hiccup grunted in annoyance.

"Ugh, I hate it when you're right." He mumbled as Cami grinned in victory, "I still need a little time to clear my head."

"Fine by me." She said as they ascended higher into the sky, above most of the clouds.

"Wait." Hiccup muttered as Toothless and Windslicer growled uneasily.

"What is that?" Cami asked in shock as she stared at the distance in horror. It was a ship, being brutally attacked by dragons. Hiccup scrambled for his spy glass and his heart dropped into is stomach as soon as he saw the insignia on the sail.

"Berkian."
