Hello everyone! Let me just say how shocked I am for seeing this story get about 4000 views! I am just overjoyed. Thank you all! Also, I am happy and sad to say this will be the last chapter/epilogue. Please enjoy and like always, forgive any mistakes I have made. It took me awhile to write this chapter, so I hope you like the ending!

Chris was hyperventilating. He was in his room back at Draconia, but all he saw was the room spinning. His clothes were too tight on his body! Oh gods! His eyes glanced in every direction. His palms and face were sweaty. Out of all the things Chris has ever faced, this may be his most challenging one yet!

A knock came from his door which snapped him out of his stupor.

"Co-come in", Chris shouted shakily.

The door was opened and Re stuck his head inside, who was looking for him.

"Chris, are you ready? Your wedding is about to start in half an hour. Hiccup and his tribe are here; It would be best to head down now", Re said softly. He then noticed that his son was having a hard time breathing. He went inside the room to see what was wrong with Chris. Behind him was Tenor. Both of them were not wearing their armor, but instead they were simply wearing their crowns.

"Son, what is the matter? Are you alright?", Re asked concerned.

"I'm just, I'm just nervous", Chris responded slowly, trying to catch his breath.

Re was relieved the instant he heard what was the problem.

"Chris, there is nothing to fear", the King chuckled.

"I'm not so sure about that", Chris said.

"You won a war with no qualms at all. In fact you were rather calm when you faced Gaozong a few months ago!", Tenor exclaimed.

Chris exhaled. His uncle was right. If fact, why was he worrying about all this? If he could bust out of prison with a Night Fury by his side, win a 10 year long war, and come out of all that alive, what was there to worry about?

"Chris, look at me", Re said.

Chris looked up into his father's eyes, waiting.

"Chris. I have watched, and raised you for the first 10 years of your life. You and Serenity always managed to get into some type of trouble. Besides that, you are a cunning, strong, brave human. Even when all the odds are stacked against you, you always manage to come out on top. Trust me, once you look into her eyes, all your anxiety will melt away. There is nothing to worry about. This is going to be one of the happiest days of your life", Re said soothingly.

"And you don't want to disappoint Serenity, do you?", Tenor added.

Chris steeled himself. "You're right. I WILL go through with this. I love Serenity!", he said to himself.

Re laughed kindheartedly, "Come on now. Let's go".

They all went down to the front doors of the castle, where the wedding was going to take place.

In front of the castle doors was a huge green, plush yard. The yard was bigger than the cove and sealed off by a set of silver gates. One one side there was the castle doors. They had carvings of dragons all over them. On the opposite side of the yard was two marble pillars, with a matching arch to connect the two, forming the altar. White silk-like fabric was twirled all the way around the altar, with light green Per Ola Wibergs and light blue Spring Starflowers dotting the altar. The pathway to the altar was lined with many white rose petals.

Most of the Berk populace was there, especially the dragons. They were all excited that their favorite dragon healer had finally taken a mate. The dragons of Draconia were excited as well! After the King and Queen told the kingdom that they brought their long-lost son home, the kingdom rejoiced. Their exhilaration only doubled when he proposed to their best dragon healer, Serenity a month later and she accepted. In other words, it was going to be a big wedding!

The Berkians were on one side of the aisle while the Draconians were on the other. Chris was waiting at the altar with Re and Tenor standing by his side. His usual black attire had some modifications to it. Instead of his slim winter trench coat, he had on a white, long-sleeved tunic. It was embroidered with beautiful black lines that curved and twisted in an ornate pattern. The tunic reached a little below his hips. It was fastened at the waist with a black leather belt with a big buckle. The buckle had the Draconian coat of arms on it. He wore a matching white cape with a black Night Fury in the middle. The Night Fury looked like Berk's Dragon Training Insignia, except there was no red tail fin and the color of the eye was gold. His black pants and black, fur-lined boots remained the same.

"Well, don't you look fancy", Hiccup told him. Hiccup, as the chief of Berk, had many duties and responsibilities. One of them was being a marriage officiant. Hiccup had never done this before and Serenity knew that, so she thought her wedding would be the perfect opportunity.

"Thanks", Chris chuckled nervously. Hiccup noticed that he was anxious.

"Chris, calm down. You will do fine. If anyone should be nervous, it should be me. I am the officiant, and this is my first time.", Hiccup consoled.

Chris exhaled, "You right. I just thought I never thought this day would come, is all. And by the way, thanks for making the rings. I really appreciate it".

Hiccup smiled, "Don't worry about it. Though if you don't mind, I would like to use that idea for my wedding rings when I get married".

"Oh yeah it's fine...so, you are getting married", Chris said in a low voice, smirking.

Hiccup blushed. "Ye-yes. I am. But not now, very soon. Just don't tell anybody okay?", Hiccup whispered hesitantly.

Chris grinned, "You have my word as a dragon rider, as an ally, and as a friend". Hiccup nodded.

Unbeknownst to Hiccup, Re and Tenor heard the whole thing with their keen hearing. They each smiled.

Then a single roar silenced the whole crowd.

The crowd turned to see the front doors open wide and Aurora walking out and to the side of one door, smiling. Following right behind her was Windwalker, who walked to the other side of the door, smiling. They both waited until the bride stepped out for everyone to see.

Everyone gasped and awed at the sight of Serenity. To say she was beautiful was an understatement! Serenity was wearing a strapless wedding dress made of duchess satin. It was wrapped in an intricate pattern in her abdominal area, but it flowed freely down her skirt. She wore a fitted bodice with a slight flare starting a little bit above her waist, going all the way to the floor. On her abdominal area toward the left side of her body, was a bunch of garnished silk flowers that were part of the dress. The flowers were a very light shade of either blue or green, but the colors didn't stop there. They reached out passed the boundaries of the flowers and onto the rest of her dress. They faded away into the white of the dress once the colors reached the right half of her body and mid-thigh of her legs. They intertwined and danced around each other before they gradually grew faint into the white. In the middle of each silk flower was a small sapphire or emerald gem to compliment each colored flower respectively. She wore a bridal crown of beautiful silver-plated gold with many spires jutting out from it. The veil was attached down and hanging from the back, on top of her gorgeous hair. Her bouquet was comprised of an interesting flower. The flowers had white petals with yellow stigma. She gracefully walked down the aisle, with many Vikings and dragons staring at her, amazed.

"Whoa", breathed Fishlegs.

"She is beautiful", Valka whispered, almost on the verge of tears.

She approached the altar with a smile, with Aurora and Windwalker lining up beside her. She glanced at her husband-to-be, noticing the loving look across his face. She handed her bouquet to her soon-to-be-mother-in-law to hold. Aurora smiled warmly as she took the bouquet and sat on her haunches. Windwalker, Tenor, and Re subsequently followed suit.

Chris took Serenity's hands into his. They both looked at Hiccup, signaling for him to begin. Chris was shaking ever so slightly. How could he be so nervous still?! Then they gazed at each other, and all the fear Chris had washed away. The love they had for each other was extremely evident. Hiccup glanced at the two before he took a deep breath and started.

"Before I start, let me just say how thankful and honored I am for being the marriage officiant for these two. Now, since these two are not Vikings, do not be surprised that their wedding is going to be different. I am more than happy to do this"

The crowd murmured their thoughts for a brief moment before they quieted down.

Hiccup grinned. "Dear friends and family, We are all gathered here today for a very special occasion. We are here to celebrate the union of Chris and Serenity, two cherished people, in marriage. Through their time together, they have come to realize that their personal dreams, hopes, and goals are more attainable and more meaningful through the combined effort and mutual support provided in love, commitment, and family; and so they have decided to live together as husband and wife."

"Serenity and Chris wanted me to thank you all for being here and to recognize how important each and every one of you are to their relationship. They would also like to recognize all of those who couldn't make it here today as they are certainly missed but not forgotten on this day of celebration"

"Unlike many Viking weddings, these two come together today, not because they are bound by some treaty between two tribes, but because they both feel something for each other. They marry today, because they love each other. In their case, marriage gives permanence and structure to their love. It's a way to tell each other that no matter how much the other snores or how much trouble they got in, they're still in this together. Marriage is more important than the scars on your body. Marriage is telling the person you love that you're not going anywhere and that's a powerful commitment for two people to make to one another"

"A good marriage must be built on the foundation of this commitment. In marriage the 'little' things are the big things. It is never being too old to hold hands. It is remembering to say, 'I love you' at least once a day. It is never going to sleep angry. It is standing together and facing the world. It is speaking words of appreciation, and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways. It is having the capacity to forgive and forget. It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow. It is a common search for the good and the beautiful. It is not only marrying the right partner — it is being the right partner"

"The road that has brought Serenity and Chris here today hasn't been easy. It's been filled with challenges that they weren't necessarily prepared for. They had been separated from each other for 10 years yet fate seems to deem them inseparable, and here they are standing before you today"

"Now, these two have prepared vows that they would like to share with each other and for us to bear witness to. They are a way of sharing their love and commitment towards each other in their own words"

Hiccup turned toward Serenity, nodding his head at her to start.

She looked back at Chris and sighed quietly, happy. "Chris, ever since we were little, we always had a connection. We share a deep bond, much like the ones we share for our dragons. Every time we got in trouble, you always took the blame for me. I didn't get why you would purposefully want to get in trouble because of me, but as I grew older I finally knew the answer. You cared about me. Even though I came up with most of those ideas, our bond grew stronger every time you took the blame. You are my best friend. We have shared many things together, and I am happy that we are able to share this moment together, in each other's hands. I have seen you at your best and at your worst, and I have been there to support you all the time. And that strengthened our bond as well. There is a saying that I thought would best explain the love I feel for you. 'I saw that you were perfect and so I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect and I loved you even more'. I vow to always be by your side. Whatever obstacle lies ahead of us, I will make sure we get through it. I look to you for strength, for joy, for support, just as much as you do to me. And I am more than happy to support and be supported by you Chris". Serenity finished lovingly.

Chris was speechless. He had his mouth slightly ajar, then snapped back to reality was he realized she was finished. He took a deep breath and smiled at her.

"Serenity, when I was realized that I was being raised by dragons, I knew that I was going to be different for the rest of my life. I thought I was going to be alone, but then, you came along. You made my life enjoyable. You have made me laugh, cry, angry, and so on. But I wouldn't trade any of that. You have helped me define who I was and who I am now. The only thing I regret is leaving you those 10 years of your life. But I thank Draco that they have brought us together once again. Once I saw your face, I knew that I couldn't let that go. I couldn't let you go. Once I saw you, some type of instinct awoke in me. I need to protect you from all harm. When you came back into my life, a new feeling overwhelmed me. It was the feeling of love. The love I have for you! You are my best friend, and when we reunited, I felt we have become something more. We are like two pieces of a puzzle. We compliment and bring out the best in each other. I could never ask for a better person to love, and share my life with. And what constantly amazes me is how you continue to not give up on me. I am grateful that you love me back. I am grateful that we can be something more than just best friends. I am grateful that I can call you 'my wife'. You will be my one and only wife. I am grateful that I will be the one to hold you in my arms. I am grateful you choose to depend on me, as I do to you. I vow that I will always be there for you. No matter how great the distance, or how dangerous the peril. I will love you unconditionally. Even though I may be a hero to others, but you Serenity, you are my hero. You always have, and always will be", Chris said affectionately.

They got lost in each other's eyes. Hiccup gave them a quick second before he continued again.

"Wedding rings are made precious by our wearing them. The rings say that even in their uniqueness they have chosen to be bound together. These rings are a symbol of love and faithfulness. As they place it on each other's finger, they commit their hearts and souls to each other. The most precious metal symbolizes that their love is the most precious element in my life. The ring has no beginning and no ending, which symbolizes that the love between these two will never cease. Let these rings also be a sign that love has substance as well as soul, a present as well as a past, and that, despite its occasional sorrows, love is a circle of happiness, wonder, and delight. They wear the rings as a reminder of the vows they have spoken today, their wedding day"

Serenity and Chris pulled out the rings they were going to put on each other's fingers and they were absolutely stunning. A month before the wedding, Chris flew over to Berk and paid Hiccup to create his and Serenity's rings. He told Hiccup to come up with rings that no one had ever seen before. Chris held Serenity's ring, and Serenity held Chris's ring. Each of them were made with the purest of silver and inlaid into the outside of the rings was a twirling and winding Celtic dragon, going all the way around the ring. Each dragon had a different color scheme — black and gold for Chris's ring, and blue and green for her ring. Hiccup smirked at his work, proud that all those hours of labor were not going to waste.

Chris took Serenity's hand and placed the ring onto her ring finger.

"I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness. I marry you with this ring, with all that I have and all that I am. I place it on your finger as a visible sign of the vows which have made us husband and wife", Chris announced.

Serenity took Chris's hand and placed the ring onto his ring finger.

"I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness. As I place it on your finger, I give to you all that I am, and accept from you, all that you are. I ask you to wear this ring as a reminder of the vows we have spoken today, our wedding day", Serenity declared.

After the exchange of rings, Hiccup knew that it was time to wrap things up. With the biggest of smiles, he boomed, "Friends and family, by the power vested in me, as the chief of Berk and ally of Draconia, I know pronounce these two husband and wife. You may now kiss".

Chris and Serenity were both excited and nervous at the same time. The crowd held their breath, waiting for the marriage to be 'official'. They stared at each other, knowing this was their final moment before tying the knot. They smiled at each other. Chris pulled Serenity close, wrapping his arms around the small of her back, while Serenity fluidly wrapped her arms around his neck. Then, time seemed to slow down as they leaned into each other until finally their lips locked in a passionate embrace.

The audience roared and cheered in a symphony of celebration. Chris and Serenity were now husband and wife! Oh what a momentous occasion it was! The dragons shot fire into the sky and small explosions filled the sky in a spectacle of fire and smoke. Most of the females were crying, even Windwalker and Aurora! Astrid and Ruffnut, being the tough Vikings that they were, only shed one tear when nobody was looking. Snotlout glanced at Aurora and Windwalker and noticed them crying.

He scoffed. "Huh. So typical", he said rolling his eyes.

Astrid, being next to him, overheard this and handled the situation accordingly. She threw her best punch and it successfully connected with his jaw, sending him flying to the ground in sheer pain. He stayed there on the floor, holding his chin soothingly, groaning in pain. Astrid smirked, accomplished.

Chris and Serenity broke the kiss and rested their foreheads against each other. They were both giggling, basking in the feeling of it all. They were now married! But Odin forbid this was the end of the celebration!

Once the cheering died down, Re turned to the crowd and yelled, "Let us continue the celebration inside the castle. There is plenty of food and entertainment that I am sure all of you will enjoy!"

At the mention of food, all of them rushed inside the castle, the newlyweds included.

The reception was going smoothly and merrily. Vikings and dragons alike were laughing, eating, and having a good time. Many of the guest approached the newlyweds and congratulated them. While they were preoccupied, Re beckoned for Windwalker to accompany him outside.

"What is it my king? Is there something wrong?", Windwalker asked.

"No. Nothing is wrong at the moment. I just called you out here to talk to you about some things", Re casually responded.

"And what might those things be?"

"Windwalker, after seeing you in action for about a month, I noticed that you are an excellent leader. You handled tasks easily and commanded sternly, but respectfully. You see a problem, and you try to find a solution that benefited your nest the best. The reason why I am telling you this is because I want to reward you"

"Just for being an alpha and running a nest", Windwalker said, slightly skeptical.

"Not only that, but you helped take care of my son when he was all by himself. Even though he knew how to handle himself, he hates being left alone, and you gave him companionship and helped develop him into the man he is today. You gave him friendship at a time when he was lost and isolated. You helped him recover from the loss of his family. You became apart of his family and I sense a strong bond between the two of you, much like Hiccup and Toothless. And for that, I want to make you Captain of the Guard here on Draconia. You are worthy of it. Do you accept?", Re explained.

Windwalker's mouth was hanging open. She didn't know what to say. She was stunned! At last, some words were able to escape her mouth. "Uh...wow, I...I don't know how what to say. I...thank you for the opportunity and graciously accept", Windwalker replied, bowing and stretching out her wings.

Re smiled, "Rise, Captain".

Windwalker got back up and smiled back at her king. "I will do my best your majesty".

"I expect no less from someone as strong as you. Let's go back inside", Re concluded as he started walking.

Windwalker slightly blushed at the comment and followed her king's lead.

They went back to the main ballroom and joined in the festivities. Chris noticed his dragon's shocked expression and went up to her.

"What's wrong?", he asked, concerned.

"Your father, the king, just made me…the Captain of the Guard", she uttered.

"Oh my gosh, Windwalker. That's...amazing!", Chris blurted out, wrapping his arms around her neck. "I am so happy for you!"

"I just, wow. I'm still adjusting to it. Do you think I can handle it?", Windwalker asked.

Chris just gave her an annoyed look. "Are you really asking me that? Of course I think you can handle it".

Windwalker just chuckled. "I'm sorry. It's just that I never thought this would happen. I'm not upset, it's just...wow".

Chris rest his hands under her chin, making her look him in the eyes. "Windwalker, you are the most amazing dragon I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. You have been through a lot and yet you still push on. You always put others before yourself. You definitely earned that position. You are strong and a brave leader. You never cease to amaze me. I love you Windwalker", he said sincerely as he brought her into a hug.

Windwalker was touched. "Chris, thank you for putting up with me. You are by far the best human I have ever met. You do so much for dragons. I never thought I would ever befriend a human, until I met you. I'm glad you changed my opinion on humans. Not all of you are bad. You are so brave and cunning. You are just awesome. I love you Chris", Windwalker replied fondly as she nuzzled him.

Chris proceed to scratch Windwalker around her neck, and she groaned and purred in delight. She returned the favor by giving him a big, slow lick across the face.

"Aw, Windwalker!", Chris whined, wiping most of the saliva off of his face. Said dragon laughed.

Suddenly, a mass of Viking women gathered in a crown behind Serenity.

"What are they doing?", Tuffnut asked Chris.

"Oh yeah. Serenity wanted to try this new custom. Apparently, brides in Europe do it all the time to pass their good fortune onto another, according to a dragon she once healed. As tradition says, the single lady who catches the bouquet receives the bride's fortune and will be next in line to marry".

"So how does this help us?", Tuff confusedly thought out loud.

"We get to watch a bunch of ladies basically fight over who will have the best wedding when they get married".

"Ooo, I can't wait then", he smirked.

The single Viking women were trying to contain themselves as Serenity lined up in front of them. She glanced behind her back then sent her bouquet high in the air. Once it was within arm's reach, the bachelorettes attacked each other, fighting to get it. But alas, one girl was able to firmly push back the frenzy females. She yelled in victory, raising the bouquet up high and proud, for everyone to see. Once they realized that it was Astrid who caught it, they all laughed and turned to Hiccup, who was blushing fiercely. The whole crowd cried out in celebration, knowing soon that Hiccup would have to marry Astrid. And if he didn't, Astrid would surely beat him senseless until he did!

THE END

I finally did it! I finished my first fanfiction. Please leave a review and tell me how I did. I would love to hear from my readers. Any improvements, comments, concerns, etc. will be appreciated and read. I will be off for couple of weeks as I finalize everything for the ***drumroll please*** sequel. You heard right, there will be a sequel! But, if you still want to see Chris and Windwalker in action, I suggest you read Serenity Dragonrider's stories. She is the author that graciously let me use her characters Re, Aurora, Tenor, Serenity, and Draco. She has incorporated my characters in her latest three stories: Surprises, Together We Are One, and Lost & Found. I suggest you read them in that order if you are interested in seeing more of Chris and Windwalker. Thank you all for sticking around. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Goodbye!
