Hello there please enjoy this, the story is almost over!

A WEEK LATER:

Most of the village was at the docks, the village watchers had seen the boats a while ago, they were docking, Stoick left the boat.

"I assume you didn't find the Nest?" Gobber asked him, grabbing the basket his friend was carrying

"Not even close, but I-" Stoick was interrupted by people passing by to help unloading the boat, congratulating him.

'We're so relieved'

'The village is throwing a party to celebrate!'

'You should be proud Stoick!' as he heard that, he understood they were talking about his son, Hiccup

"Something happened to Hiccup?" he questioned Gobber

"No he's quite fine, in fact, I'd say his better than fine" Gobber said wiggling his eyebrows slightly.

Stoick gave a questioning look

"Believe in me Stoick, your son is not the coward we all thought he was"

Stoick nodded and kept walking.

After a brief pause Gobber remembered that Stoick was going to say something.

"Whatcha want to say to me?"

"Oh! Right, I think I found a way to get to the Nest"

During that week Hiccup's bond with Toothless had became stronger.

Hiccup had made the control fin mechanism which after a scary first flight was like a second nature to Hiccup.

He had also learned that Dragons were just as curious as Man were, they would follow a little light beam trying to catch it.

Astrid had accidentally found out that if you scratched a spot on the dragons neck, it would fell so good they would pass out in pure bliss.

Later in the week Astrid and Hiccup moved Toothless, since his father was arriving hunting trips would become a thing again, to their clearing, it was no easy task let me tell you, and Astrid was a bit sad the clearing was their clearing, but she was eventually persuaded over a few make-out sessions.

And remember that tall grass surrounding the clearing Hiccup and Astrid didn't know what it was?

Well as soon as Toothless saw the grass he ran over to it, rolling and hoping on it, Hiccup and Astrid named this grass 'Dragon Nip'.

All this new knowledge was very helpful to Astrid in the ring, making be top of her class without hurting the dragons.

"Hey Astrid, I've been thinking" Hiccup said, sitting down next to her, he had just returned from a flight it was getting dark, and the feast would begin soon "Would you like to ride Toothless?"

"I would but...we're really late for the feast, yea" she said nervously

"Is The Great Fearless Astrid Hofferson scared?"

"I'm not scared!" she shouted "a lot..." she whispered

"Come on, please" he pleaded

"Fine" she grumbled

"Yes! Let's go!"

They climbed onto Toothless who seemed ok with having two humans at his back.

"Ok Toothless, gently" Hiccup whispered to the dragon ears and the dragon made a noise like it was saying 'But that's not fun at all!' even so he took off they were lazily flying through the air Toothless just flapping his wings now and then, Astrid was marveled, the colors, the air against her face, everything!

They flew up to the clouds Astrid extended her arms and touched them, and she laughed, she loved it up here.

They kept flying for a few minutes not talking just enjoying the view and each others company, when Toothless suddenly made a not so gentle sharp turn and his eyes turned to slits and he began flying to Helheim's gate.

They passed several rocks and dragons Hiccup and Astrid getting more worried by the second they soon reached the volcano and entered it, they flew through series of tunnels and then into a massive cave with a small opening on the top and al ot of smoke at the bottom, Toothless landed in a hidden under hang.

"What's happening?" Astrid whispered.

"I don't know they must be regrouping"

Has he said that a Gronckle flew over the smoke a regurgitated a small fish, scratching his neck with his left back paw, a giant maw ate the Gronckle in one bite.

"GET THE HEL OUT OF THERE!" screamed a voice in Hiccup's head and Toothless seemed to have somehow read Hiccups mind, because he got out of the trance unfortunately the Giant skull heard it too and turned it's head in their direction.

"Hiccup-" Astrid started

"On it" he interrupted, and clicked the pedal jumping Toothless into flight, the barely escaped the giant maw and flew out, quickly returning to the Cove.

"It all makes sense it's like a bee hive she their queen and their the workers, but what are we going to do?" Astrid said

"We're going to have to kill her"

Astrid sighed and motioned for him to follow, Hiccup understood they were already very late for the feast.

As soon as they entered the Great Hall, Stoick stood up and shouted for everyone to shut up, the village did so.

"Now, I have great news! I have spoken to the council and we believe we found a way to the dragons Nest!"

The village erupted in cheers after a moment.

"How?" a Viking asked

"When we were battling the dragons, I noticed that the injured ones always tried to fly back into the fog, well I assumed that maybe only a dragon can find the nest since the rocks surrounding it seem to be like a maze!"

"When will we be leaving?"

"In a week's time"

They all returned back to their food happier than before, except the couple in the corner of the Great Hall, they were staring at Stoick, gaping.

"Well" gulp "we have to kill it sooner than I thought"

Later that night, Hiccup laid in his bed thinking how he could fix everything.

"Try telling your dad about Toothless".

"Like he'd listen" Hiccup answered during that week he had also learned how to communicate with Voice without actually talking.

"Again, Make him do so! Make your dad listen, Make him promise you that he we'll believe you that he won't be angry"

"Voice, please my dad is.. different he does everything the Viking way, he thinks it's always the best one" Hiccup couldn't help but roll his eyes slightly

"Then show him that the 'Hiccup' way is better"

Hiccup considered his friends words, he decided he's sleep on it.

Hiccup woke up, felling confident about his new decision he'd have to tell Astrid about it first though, it was still slightly dark, so he sneaked out the window and went to Astrid's house he climbed up to her window, it was closed so he gently knocked on it.

Astrid opened her window after a few knocks, they were vikings, they were used to dragon attacks in the middle of the night, they were light sleepers.

"What?" she snapped looking very sleepy

"I'm going to tell my dad" He said seriously

"About To-him?"

"Yes"

"You can't kill him and you'll be banished!"

"I'll make sure none of those happens" he hesitated "But if something bad does happen I want you to know that... I love you"

"I love you too" Astrid said with no hesitation at all, giving him kiss

He nodded and jumped off the window rolling as he hit the ground

"Show off" Hiccup smirked

Stoick woke up with a small headache, he left his room to find Hiccup sitting at the table, waiting.

"Mornin'" Sotick greeted

"Hey dad" Hiccup said "Dad... do you trust me?"

"Of course I do son!"

"If I told you something that would contradict what everyone else which side would you be on? Please answer honestly dad"

Stoick pondered for a second "Yours son, anytime" He said gently.

Hiccup beamed "Well come with me and leave the hammer"

Stoick looked at him questioningly but did it, and followed his son into the woods and walked in silence has Hiccup took him to the Cove and told him to wait.

Minutes later Stoick saw a black shape in the sky, a dragon, although he didn't recognize it's shape, he readied him self, but when the dragon landed Stoick saw Hiccup on top of it, rage filled Stoick's being has he shouted.

"Hiccup get off that demon now!"

"His not a demon dad! His my friend!"

Stoick grabbed a nearby log, a makeshift mace, and was about to swing it at the dragon when Hiccup stood in front of the beast and Stoick hit him sending him flying a few feet, the dragon growled at Stoick and rushed to Hiccup's side, Stoick realized what he'd done and dropped the log, but when he saw the dragon approach Hiccup worry replaced guilt but before he could take a step to help his son, he saw that the dragon was nudging the boy and making worried purrs, the dragon looked at Stoick his eyes slits and took a step forward but a hand on his snout stopped him he looked up to the owner of the hand and started licking the auburn haired buy making him laugh.

As Hiccup got up and shoke the saliva off of him throwing some at Toothless who let out an unamused growl, Stoick rushed to his side seeing if he had any injuries.

"See dad" Hiccup said petting Toothless' head receiving joyful purrs "Toothless is good, he won't hurt anyone, unless they hurt me, dad I know this is hard for you but I got to warn you, you're right a dragon can take you to the nest but..."

"Yes..?" Stoick scontinued, giving a wary look at the dragon

"There's a massive dragon, I mean massive it could destroy the village just by sitting on it! It somehow controls other dragons."

"If this is true how do you want us to defeat it?"

"I don't, but we could work has a team you and the others, draw it's attention force it out of the volcano but has soon has you see a piece of it, you run to the other side of the island"

"Do we have to risk the lives of our people?"

"I don't think the Queen would leave her nest for one dragon, but maybe for a whole village..."

"I understand, but we have to postpone the killing of the Nightmare"

"Yes you do that" Hiccup smile "Now for proper introductions Toothless, Stoick, Stoick, Toothless"

Later that day it was announced that the Nightmare slaying would have to wait until after they had returned.

Hiccup also told Astrid how it all went, she was extremely happy, like really happy.

but soon the rest of the week passed with the ships leaving with a terror tied to the front ships mast and Hiccup and Astrid were leaving as well, Astrid had convinced Hiccup to train her the Nadder in the arena and so has the ships left he did that without anyone noticing and they both took flight, towards Helheim's gate, towards the end of the war.

Towards Peace.
