"You and your father nearly died that night." Valka sighed before looking up at her son.

"All because I couldn't kill a dragon." She mused slightly as Hiccup looked up at her with a small smile.

"Eh, runs in the family." He said as Valka sighed again.

"It broke my heart to stay away. But I believed you'd be safer if I did." She said as Hiccup looked down in thought.

"How did you survive?" He asked as they started walking towards a small cliff.

"Oh, Cloudjumper never meant to harm me. He must have thought I belonged here, in the home of the great Bewilderbeast." She said before gesturing to an ENORMOUS dragon, one even bigger than the Red Death laying comfortably at the bottom of the nest.

"Haha, I remember he hated me." Toothless laughed as they started walking towards the giant alpha.

"The alpha species. One of the very few that still exist." A few dragons below land near the dragon and bow their heads in respect.

"Every nest has its queen but this is the king of all dragons. With his icy breath, this graceful giant built our nest, a safe haven for dragons everywhere." Valka said proudly as Hiccup looked at the icy spikes.

"Wait, that's the ice-spitter? He's responsible for all that destruction?" Hiccup asked in shock as Valka smiled and shook her head.

"He protects us. We all live under his care and his command."

They walk to the end of a steep cliff as the alpha lifts its gigantic head and Valka and Toothless bow their heads and Hiccup stares into the dragon's icy blue eyes in wonder.

"Are you the child Valka had with the well intentioned dragon killer?" The alpha asked as Hiccup bowed as well.

"Yes your majesty, but my father has changed his ways. It is an honor to be in your nest." Hiccup said as Valka put a light hand on his shoulder.

"I've lived here for 20 years Hiccup. Discovering their secrets."

The alpha blew a bit of snow into Hiccup's hair as Valka smiled.

"Hehe, he likes ya." She said with a smile as Hiccup knocked the ice out of his hair.

"Whoa." He muttered.

"You must be hungry?" Valka asked as she started to walk away.

"Uh, yeah, I could eat." Hiccup responded as Valka smiled.

"Good, its feeding time." She said before gently taking Hiccup's hand.

"Yay!" Toothless exclaimed before hopping under Cloudjumper's wing, who looked down at him before rolling his eyes.

"You're twenty." Cloudjumper muttered as Toothless deflated slightly.

"Come on. Not everyone can be second in command to the king of all dragons." Toothless said before walking off.

"I don't like it." Astrid muttered as Stormfly landed on a small chunk of ice, where the other dragons and riders were waiting.

"I'm sure they're fine." Stormfly assured as Astrid continued.

"They should've been back with Hiccup by now." She said worriedly.

"I don't like it either." Ruffnut said as Snotlout offered her a piece of chicken, which she grabbed before throwing it into the ocean.

"Eret son of Eret was the man of my dreams. My everything!" She exclaimed as Snotlout gave her a shocked look.

"But baby I grew facial hair for you." He said, rubbing his barely stubbly chin as Fishlegs sighed.

"Me too." He said sadly as he rubs his own blonde beard.

"What if Drago shot them down? What if, they need our help!" Astrid said nervously, "We have to find them."

"Astrid, this is Hiccup and Stoick we're talking about. One's a Night Fury and the other's the best warrior on Berk!" Stormfly tried to reason, but Astrid, of course, couldn't understand her.

"Wait, what?! But Stoick said-"

"It doesn't matter what he said if they've all been captured! Now come on!" Astrid yelled as Stormfly begrudgingly took off.

"Do we go back?" A trapper asked as Eret angrily kicked the boat they we're on, which was surrounded by ice.

"We've no where to go! Nothing to sell! And no heads to call our own! If we don't turn up with dragons and fast!-"

Eret was cut off by Stormfly swooping down and grabbing him by the shoulders.

"Careful what you wish for!" Astrid exclaimed cheerily.

"ERET SON OF ERET!" One of the trappers screamed as he shot some bolas at Stormfly, which she easily dodged.

"What is this?!" He snapped.

"A kidnapping." Astrid answered plainly.

"Yay! Can he ride with me?! Can he?" Ruffnut asked dreamily as Tuffnut grimaced as steered them away.

"You're gonna bring us to Drago." Astrid said as Eret sputtered.

"And help dragon riders sneak into his camp? Just kill me now." He said dramatically as Astrid smirked.

"That can be arranged. Stormfly, drop it!" She exclaimed as Stormfly happily dropped the dragon trapper.

"AHHHHH!" He screamed in terror as Stormfly squawked happily.

"Good girl! Stormfly, fetch!" Astrid said as Stormfly dove towards Eret.

"AHH! ALRIGHT! OKAY! I'll take you to Drago!" Eret screamed as Stormfly swooped by and grabbed him.

"Works every time." Astrid said smugly before flying away.

Cloudjumper gracefully spun in the air as Toothless flapped up to follow him, Hiccup smiling before noticing a huge flock of dragons behind them.

"Uh, I thought you said we we're going to eat!" Hiccup said as Valka gestured for Toothless to stop.

"Oh we are!" She exclaimed excitedly before looking down at the water, which was bubbling as Hiccup and Toothless both backed up a bit. Then the alpha's huge head burst from the sea as he spit in the air and caused a rain of, FISH?!

Valka instantly started cracking up as hiccup looked around in shock.

"Hiccup! Hold on!" Toothless advised before diving after the fish as Hiccup clutched his saddle as tight as he could, sheathing his claws to hold onto the leather as Toothless grabbed a mouthful of fish and smiled happily before flying off.

"And then past dragon island we found this archipelago..." Hiccup trailed off as he looked at his map happily and notice Vlka drawing the islands he explained in great detail.

"Whoa." He muttered as Valka smiled and Toothless ran past, destroying Valka's work as he drew his own islands, Cloudjumper looking at him curiously as the ice spike Toothless was using got stuck to his tongue.

"Whoo hoo!" Hiccup exclaimed as he and Valka floated on a bed of air as the dragons' wings were pushed up by a blowing vent of air as Valka smiled and walked off of Cloudjumper's wings, only to be caught by a Deadly Nadder, who then dropped her onto a Snafflefang as she hooked her staff around a Raincutter before jumping onto Toothless's wings and ruffling Hiccup's hair before diving off, back onto the Stormcutter's back.

"Ah, when I'm up here I don't even feel the cold, I just feel-"

"Free." Hiccup finished with a smiled as Valka gave him one and closed her eyes.

"This is what it is to be a dragon Hiccup!" She exclaimed as Hiccup smirked.

"It's all well and good to call yourself a dragon, but can you actually be one?!" He exclaimed before jumping off of Toothless's back as Valka gasped and looked down at her free falling son, but to her utter shock, another Night Fury shot from under them as Toothless smirked.

"I did that ya know." He said proudly as Hiccup started to fly backwards.

"Whoo hoo!" He exclaimed.

"Hic! Behind you!" Toothless yelled as Hiccup turned around to notice a rock wal behind him as he turned into a human and Toothless speed past and grabbed him before crashing into the snow.

"Hiccup? Hiccup?!" Toothless quelled as he looked around nervously, only to have Hiccup burst out of the snow and scare him half to death.

"Man almost! I really thought I could fly backwards that time!" He exclaimed as Toothless sneezed before shooting a glare at Hiccup and swiping his feet with his tail.

"Ow!" Hiccup yelps as he landed face first in the snow and Valka landed with Cloudjumper.

"Wow, incredible." She muttered as Hiccup grew his large pair of wings as Valka stared at them in wonder.

"Eh, not bad yourself." He muttered as Valka's hand ended up cupping Hiccup's cheek as he leaned into the touch slight before looking back up at her.

"All this time you took after me." She said in wonder before sighing.

"And where was I? I'm so sorry Hiccup. I-I was selfish when I made the decision to stay away. W-Will you give me another chance?" She begged as a huge grin started to creep its way along Hiccup's face.

"I-I can teach all the things I've learned these last 20 years, like..." Valka trailed off as she dug her fingers into a certain part of Toothless's neck and pushed down, making his spinal spikes split in two as he shook his head and snapped them together excitedly.

"Haha! This is fun to do!" He exclaimed as Hiccup laughed.

"Now he can make those tight turns." Valka explained as Toothless jumped over to Hiccup happily.

"Did you know about this?" He asked as Toothless shook his head and continued bouncing around happily.

"Every dragon has its secrets, and I'll show them all to you! We'll unlock every mystery, discover every last species together, as mother and son." Valka mused as Hiccup looked at her excitedly.

"This gift we share, it bonds us. This is who are son, who we are. Dragons are very picky on who to use their special magic on, they could save it to save a hatchling's life or they can stay alive until they use it but our dragons, they used their precious life source on us to make us be like one of them. There was even a whole prophecy written about you and saving dragons and Vikings. Together, we will do for the world what you did for Berk, we will make it a better, after place for all dragons." Valka said as Hiccup lit up.

"T-That sounds amazing." He said happily, running a hand through his hair as he said so.

"Oh!" Valka said before giving Hiccup a big huge, who blinked in shock, this was the first motherly hug he's gotten in 20 years! He then smiled again and huge her back for a few seconds before pushing away and grinning.

"Oh this is great! Now we can go talk to Drago together!" He exclaimed as Valka laughed a bit in confusion.

"What? There's no talking to Drago." She dismissed.

"But we have to-"

"No. We must protect our own." She said before patting Cloudjumper's head as Hiccup groaned.

'Do they have like marital esp?' Hiccup thought to himself in annoyance.

"Now come on. We should be getting back now." Valka said before mounting Cloudjumper as Hiccup heard heavy breathing and looked over to see Toothless snapping his spikes together happily.

"Wanna go for a flight?"

BLAHHHHHHH! This is super late I know! I've just been really tired lately and have been taking some much needed sleep, which means I don't work on the chapter because I get most of it done usually between 10:00 pm and 12:00 am. Soooooooo, yeah.
