I surprised to say the least. How did she know I was her grandmother? I was planning to tell her at the end of the day, but… HOW? All I can do as far as I know is hug her back, as tightly as I've been wanting to ever since I found out she's my granddaughter. Literally, no words come to mind.

But for Pache, it's the opposite. "All this time I thought you were really dead and that dragons did kill someone in my family. But when I heard about how nice and different you were from the other villagers, I just couldn't believe any sane dragon doing that. Then again under the queen's control a dragon isn't really sane. Now that you're alive I'm really happy to be with at least one member of my family while I'm away from the others, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I realized you were my daddy's mom! And…"

She took a deeeeeep breath.

"and now that you're alive when it's safe for me to return home you can come with me and it'll make everybody so happy, especially dad, grandpa, mommy, and everyone else on Berk who's missed you all this time! Every one of them does! I heard it myself when I asked about you and you're living up to be everything I hoped, and MORE! Why, you're even BONDED like me and daddy and this is so GREAT!" Every sentence she seemed to hug me tighter.

There was a long pause as I waited to see if she had anything else she wanted to say, but when I released her and looked in her eyes, I finally opened my mouth and spoke. "How did you know?"

"My vision. It was of you and grandpa and a little bit of dad and… Alvin too." Oh, Alvin. No wonder she was screaming. "What, if you don't mind me asking, what… happened between all of you? Why was he banished and called treacherous? I didn't fully understand what he meant by harassing. That's a new word to me."

Well, it appears neither Hiccup or Astrid have had a talk with their daughter yet. And, she's only six, but does have the brain of a teenager. Not a viking teenager either, thank Odin. "Well, harassing is when a man…"

Valka went on to talk about the new word her granddaughter wanted to know. And the results were Pache's color being drained from her face.

"Ugh." And a shiver was the only reply I got from her.

"Yes well, ahem, I wanted to know about your visions. There wasn't much information in the book, and I was hoping maybe we could fill it out some more." I said.

"OKAY!" She exclaimed, happy obviously to make new discoveries for the world.

"And while we're at it, I want to teach you about the bonded." She nodded her head, and smiled. "First off, the bonded is a legacy. Their genes have been passed down from generation to generation. In the past there used to be a whole tribe full of them." Her eyes were filled with astonishment.

"But, then what happened?"

"There was another tribe. They were the opposite of the bonded, killing dragons for their own greedy reasons, despite the honors the tribe was given by other nations. Eventually, the young heir to the dragon slaying tribe was supposedly murdered by a bonded."

"What! How, and why."

"Nobody's sure. The bonded said they were falsely accused and that they were a peaceful tribe, but that didn't convince the savage tribe. They were wiped out, and despite the fierceness of their dragons, which were mostly made up of night furies."

"REALLY?"

"Yes, the tribe was their nest. It was the only place they were found. Which is why when the tribe was wiped out…"

"...so were they." She concluded. "But, then how are we bonded?"

"Only a couple families survived, which would explain how your father has his night fury friend. But, I fear he's the only one left, as we are the only bonded left."

"How do you know?"

"Because as the other families traveled to different parts of the world, they were turned into legends, and their rarities were sought out, and they were hunted and killed to extinction."

"Yeah, but what if there's one more. Just one that maybe is like, Toothless's brother or cousin or something." Her voice was filled with slight desperation, and it almost broke my heart because I know Toothless is the only one.

I sighed and said, "Because his family was killed. And I saw it all."

"What?" Pache said in dragonese, but to my ears it was a sad and confused warble.

"It was the night your father was born, and there was a night fury spotted near the edge of the woods. Our house was near there, and a hunt was sent to get rid of it because of the new baby in the house. When your grandfather came back from the trip, he said there was a nest and that the "thor forsaken mother" was dead, and he left the egg alone because he knew it would die on its own."

The look on her face was absolutely miserable. "I didn't want them to, let me assure you. I believe that egg was Toothless's. Which, amazingly, would mean that they're the same age. And maybe because your dragon is a teenager, that would mean you're mind is like one. Which would also explain your intelligence."

Silence. That was all I got in reply. "How about we fill out that page on visions now." She nodded in reply, and we awkwardly began to fill out the page on the book.

"I finally found you. Geez, if I didn't know any better I'd think you were actually trying to ditch me." Snotlout said to Astrid.

"Yeah, and why would I ever do that?" Astrid replied sarcastically.

"I know, right? Anyway, I was hoping that…"

"Snotlout, are you seriously doing what I think you're doing?"

"What?"

"Being completely ignorant at the fact that I have a husband and flirting with me nevertheless."

"I'm not flirting. It's just that you're obviously attracted to me, so I'm replying in the correct way."

"Why would you think that!?"

"Because you got in a fight with Hiccup just so we could hang out more."

"That's not it at all! It's that I…" she paused.

"You what? You obviously paused because there is no other reason."

"Of course there is! I love Hiccup!"

"Then why else would you…"

"BECAUSE I'M PREGNANT AND I SNAPPED BECAUSE OF HORMONES!" Astrid shouted in annoyance, but gasped when she realized what she'd just said.

Snotlout, in the meantime, was wide-eyed and his mouth was agape. "Please tell me you're joking." He said, wincing.

This made Astrid furious. "It doesn't matter if I'm joking, which I'm not! Because you know what? I have a daughter and a husband, and a loving family that I would never give up for the likes of you, no matter what you may think of yourself! So, you can just cut the crap Snotlout, and screw off!" She pulled out her axe, and lifted it as if she was going to throw it.

And so, he did. It was rather ungraceful though, since he fell off of Hookfang 10 feet in the air and landed in another pigsty. After realizing his dragon was flying off without him, he got up as quickly as possible and ran after him, shouting for his "dumb dragon" to "get his fat arse down here!"

After watching him leave Astrid was angry at herself, and just barely held back her tears. "Stupid hormones!" She said under her breath. Stormly came up and nudged her shoulder. "Yeah girl, I'm alright. Thank you." She said and pet the Nadder's muzzle.

But in reality, she wasn't. How was she going to tell Hiccup now? He obviously wanted to avoid confrontation, and it hurt to realize that. But, then again the whole reason Astrid wanted to spy was to kind of avoid him as well. She hoped he wasn't mad at him, and as angry as she was with him, she forced it down knowing that it was pointless.

Then, she thought about something that encouraged her to hop on Stormfly and begin riding toward Berk. I have to tell Hiccup before that idiot Snotlout does.

In the middle of the way there, she felt a strong wind buzz past her ear, and a flash of a silhouette out of the corner of her eye. It sounded an awful lot like…

Astrid halted Stormfly, and turned around to face none other than Hiccup on Toothless, flying back towards them. Her heart almost skipped a beat when realizing that he was flying towards her. But why? Was there a problem on Berk? Did he want to check on her and Snotlout for any progress reports?

For a little while, they hovered there, just looking at each other. Then, as if reading each other's minds they flew towards a small patch of land, and alighted. Hiccup was the first one to dismount his dragon, and he ran toward Astrid who'd just gotten off hers.

He then did something she didn't expect. He kissed her hard on the lips and lifted her off the ground, spinning her around in circles.

When they stopped and looked into each other's eyes, Astrid smiled. Then, she punched him in the arm. "That's for being such a jerk."

"I deserved that." Hiccup admitted. She did something he expected her to. She kissed him again.

Pulling back, she smiled even wider and said something Hiccup didn't expect. "That is because I'm pregnant and have no control over my emotions."

After so long I finally found the thor forsaken Eret.

I was just boarding his ship, and leaving my new "assistant" to close the sails, clean up, so on and so forth.

It was odd, first seeing the legendary trapper. He was young. Far younger than I'd thought, about around 25. He had black hair, blue markings on his chin, furs and odd clothing, and an even odder accent.

"Alright, now what do you want so bad that you had to ask my dear friend Johann for a map to stalk my location?" He asked. I was surrounded by his crew, which was also smaller than I'd thought. How is this legendary?

Then again, I'm not one to judge a book by it's cover, hence the whole getting struck by a freaking lightning bolt because of a little girl incident.

"I need your help. In finding someone." I replied.

"And why should I do that? What could you possibly have that I would want?"

"Well, have you ever heard of the Bonded?" I asked.

His facial expression sparked with interest, and he smirked. "Does the Savage clan kill night furys?"

I had no idea who this clan was, but I just concluded that he meant yes.
