Hiccup was having so much fun with his mother that he almost forgot about Berk and the fact that he had essentially been kidnapped. They'd gone to eat, but not in the way Hiccup had expected. They had flown over the ocean, with the other dragons of the nest following only to be caught in a sea of fish that the Bewilderbeast had brought up from the waters. From there, he'd shown her the map, and he'd found out that he had gotten his love an ability to draw from her as she sketched the map out in the snow, and they even watched Toothless have a go to. They'd glided off the cliffs with the other dragons and he'd watched his mother simply walk from dragon to dragon without any fear of falling or other problems.

"Oh, when I'm up here, I don't even feel the cold, I just feel..."

"Free." Hiccup finished, and they shared a knowing yet loving smile as they hovered in the air together.

"This is what it is to be a dragon Hiccup." She told him.

Hiccup suddenly had an idea which made him smile even wider. "It's all well and good to call yourself a dragon." He told her as he started to fix his contraptions. "But, can you fly?" He asked as he suddenly jumped from Toothless' saddle, causing his mother to gasp and scrambled to the edge of her saddle to watch as Hiccup plummeted towards the Earth, before suddenly unfurling his own 'wings' and he started to soar through the sky with his mother and Toothless. However, he soon got into some trouble as he flew straight towards a rock stack. Yet, just before he was about to hit it, Toothless wrapped himself around his human and held him close as they fell towards the earth, soon landing in a large pile of snow. Getting up, they heard Hiccup's mother laughing as she joined them.

"That was incredible!"

"Not bad yourself." Hiccup told her as he felt his mother's hand on his cheek and he rested his hand into her as they smiled at each other.

"All this time, you took after me." She whispered, brushing a hand through Hiccup's hair, before her looked at the sky. "We'd best be heading back." She told him before both mother and son flew back towards the nest on their dragons.

Later that night, Hiccup was lying on a surprisingly soft bed that his mother had made for him, trying to sleep, when he heard his mother approaching him. "Hiccup, will you tell me more about your sister?"

Hiccup looked at her for a brief moment, before he nodded, thinking of where to start since there was so much she didn't know about Caverna he was worried about how to tell her anything.

"Well...She's wonderful!" He eventually decided. "Dad and Gobber say that she looks a lot like you, but everyone else says that we could be twins we look that similar." He looked at the hopeful look on his mother's face. "But there's something that you should...Uh...Know..."

His mother looked at him. "What do you mean?"

"The island you left her on...They were attacked every night by a madman and his gang...People were killed, houses were burnt, women were raped...Caverna was one of these women." He told her, seeing the look of horror on his face. "But it gets worse; because she was so young and he was so violent...She's now barren."

His mother was soon on her feet and she walked away, a hand covering her mouth as she felt tears form as she remembered the little baby that she was leaving on an island with a village that promised her that her daughter would be safe and that she would be able to join her father and brother, then she realised something. "When did she find you?"

"Two years ago, and she's lived on Berk for almost all of those two years." Hiccup told her as he walked up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder. "She will forgive you, I promise."

His mother nodded and that night the two went to sleep, both with heavy hearts at the news of Caverna sunk in for Hiccup's mother and for Hiccup all over again.

Yet, the topic of their conversation, was still on Snowcap's back as she led the search for Hiccup, though now, Caverna had laid down on her dragon's back and was actually fast asleep, her hood and mask over her face as her only protection against the cold, whilst Stoick and Gobber flew not far behind them. Gobber had fallen asleep hours ago, sat up in his saddle, whilst Stoick remained wide eyed and alert. Snowcap occasionally looked back at her rider and she nuzzled her rider's hand which draped at her side, dangling in the air as they flew. Stoick smiled as he watched the exchange of protectiveness from his daughter's dragon, and he patted his own dragon's head.

"We're almost there Skullcrusher."

The dragon gave him a growl of agreement, and suddenly all dragons came to a stop. Before them was a towering mass of ice and rock, the biggest that Stoick had ever seen. Looking over at his sleeping friend and daughter, he reached other to hit the both of them awake.

"Gobber, Caverna, wake up." He hissed at them, watched Gobber jolt awake, mid snore and Caverna merely sit up, rubbing her eyes. Gobber was able to complain, until he saw the mess of ice and rock and his jaw hung open, speechless, Caverna simply stared at it, before she patted Snowcap's head.

"Are you sure girl?" She watched as Snowcap nodded her head and Caverna looked at her father. "How do you want to play this?" Caverna asked him.

"Gobber and I will go in; you and Snowcap stay on that patch of ice, below, with our dragons." Stoick told her, watching Caverna look down to see the piece of ice and she nodded before she and Snowcap flew down, Skullcrusher and Grump joining her after they had dropped their riders at the entrance to the mass.

Inside the nest, Hiccup was none the wiser that his father, mentor and his sister had reached the nest, in fact Hiccup was oblivious to most things, he was simply lounging in the grass watching the other dragons fly around the nest. He found his place oddly peaceful at the best of times.

"Well bud, we can't wait around for Drago to attack this place." Hiccup was telling Toothless, who was getting attacked by a group of baby dragons. As Toothless watched a baby dragon biting his tail, Hiccup stood up and got himself ready. "Alright bud, let's go-"

Toothless turned around, wondering why his rider had suddenly stopped, speaking and readied himself thinking that they were going to be attacked, before he relaxed at seeing that Stoick had put his hand over Hiccup's mouth. Hen Hiccup had finally released his father's hand from his mouth and got some air into his lungs again, Hiccup looked at him.

"How did you get in here?" He asked, in slight disbelief.

"We came to find you." Stoick told him, ignoring the question how and focusing more on the why. "No come on." He looked behind him where Gobber stood.

"All clear." Gobber whispered, and Stoick pulled Hiccup with him until his son started following him on his own accord.

"Wait dad...dad, there's something that you need to know." Hiccup told him as they made their way through the rock passage.

"Yeah, yeah, tell me on the way." Stoick told him rather dismissively.

"Well, this uh, isn't an 'on the way' kind of thing." Hiccup told him.

"I've heard enough Hiccup." Stoick told him, rather sternly, hoping that that would keep his son quiet – it didn't.

"This is part of the Earth shattering development, variety."

"Yeah, just add it to the pile." Stoick told him, still dismissing whatever Hiccup was trying to tell him as he somehow managed to squeeze his giant frame through the tiny gaps, before he managed to let out a whistle.

"Dad, unlike most surprises, that I spring on you, this is one that I can guarantee that you will like." Hiccup told him, still trying to keep up. "You just need to handle it delicately."

Both of them stopped as they saw Gobber staring at something through a gap in the rocks, and at hearing them, Gobber turned around and he looked like he had seen a ghost.

"I'll let you handle this one." He told Stoick, moving out of the way of the gap, so that Stoick could walk forward.

However, as he walked forward, Stoick pulled out his sword, and this caused Hiccup to panic. "Oh, uh, dad, you really don't what to do that."

Stoick completely ignored Hiccup, pushing himself through the gap; however, the sight that followed made him freeze in place, his eyes wide in what was either shock or fright. Stood on the other side of the clearing, was Hiccup's mother, and she was staring right back at Stoick. As Gobber and Hiccup flanked Stoick, Hiccup let out a sigh of relief as his father dropped his sword but he was surprised that his father actually took off his helmet as well.

"I know what you're going to say Stoick." Hiccup's mother told him, though she looked rather scared at being face to face with his husband once more. "How could I have done this? How could I have stayed away all of these years, leaving you to raise Hiccup alone, why didn't I come back to you?" She continued, as Stoick walked towards her. "Well what sign did I have that you could change Stoick?" She asked him. "I pleaded with all of you to stop the killing, but none of you ever listened."

As she spoke, Hiccup noticed that there were dragons walking towards his mother and father from all directions and this was starting to make him nervous, however he was broken by Gobber speaking to him.

"This is why I never married." Gobber told him as they watched his parents.

"I thought that Hiccup would be better off without me!" She told him, sounding close to tears, gripping her staff as if it was her only lifeline left. "And I was wrong; I see that now...But..." She suddenly let out an ooph as she hit the ice wall behind her and she stayed up at Stoick, suddenly ore scared than ever, because through all of this, Stoick had remained passive and silent. "Stop being so Stoick, Stoick, go on, shout, scream, and do something!" She pleaded, her eyes welling with tears. She let them tears fall when Stoick rested a large hand on one side of her face.

"You're as beautiful as the day I lost you." Stoick whispered to her, before they both leaned in and shared a deep yet loving kiss. Hiccup smiled in relief as he saw hat not only the other dragons back off, but that his parents were back together.

After a few minutes, Gobber decided to break the silence and he looked over at Stoick and Hiccup's mother. "Stoick, Valka, I'm sorry to interrupt, but Stoick haven't you forgotten someone?"

Stoick had to think for a few minutes, before he remembered that their daughter was still on the iceberg with their dragons. "Ah...Yes...Valka, there's someone else that you need to meet."

Hiccup's mother, now known as Valka, looked at him before she remembered what Hiccup had told her that night, her daughter was still alive and living on Berk, she must have come with her father to find Hiccup.

"Okay, I want to meet my daughter." Valka told them, before she followed Stoick, Gobber, Hiccup and Toothless through the tunnels back to the ledge that Hiccup had been on and they found a Night Fury stood on the ledge, with someone clad in leather and weapons sitting on her back. Everyone but Valka knew who these two were, and Toothless warbled as he ran over to the couple, watching the rider dismount and turn around just in time to move out of the way as Toothless tackled the other Night Fury.

Hiccup smiled at seeing the figure and he met her halfway as she began to walk towards them, her mask over her face so only her deep hazel eyes were visible, and as soon as they were within touching distance, he pulled her into a hug.

"I missed you." Hiccup told her.

"Well, you're in big trouble." Caverna told him, though only he could have heard her and as Stoick coughed, the siblings broke apart.

"Caverna, there's someone that you should meet." Stoick told her and as he moved so that she could see Valka, he watched his daughter pull her mask and hoods down, the fur hood and then her leather hood underneath, and she looked at the woman.

Valka looked at her daughter in amazement, since like her brother; she had only seen her daughter as a baby and nothing more, though she hadn't really had time to have a god look at Caverna when she was born.

"Caverna..." The mother whispered.

Caverna kept facing the woman, but her eyes moved to give Stoick, Gobber and Hiccup questioning looks, since she had no clue about how to address the woman who was now edging closer and closer towards her.

"Cavern, this is our mother, Valka." Hiccup told her.

At hearing her brother, Hiccup felt his sister tense so much that she seemed permanently frozen in place, and she didn't even seem to be breathing. Valka had also frozen, though not to the same extent as Caverna, but close enough. After the longest period of time, Caverna finally spoke, though her voice was no more than a whisper.

"You left me..."

Throughout all of this, Snowcap and Toothless were pawing at each other as Toothless pinned his mate to the floor, on her back.

"I was so worried about you." Snowcap told him as she leant up to nuzzle him gently.

"I know and I'm sorry." Toothless told her, nuzzling her gently in return.

"Who's that female?" She asked, nodding over to Caverna and Hiccup's mother.

Toothless looked over at Valka and then he looked back at his mate. "She's our rider's mother, apparently." Toothless told her with an almost shrug, in truth he wasn't that keen on the fact that his boy's mother had been absent from his life for so long, but he could feel how unhappy that Snowcap was over it. Especially when he noticed his mate get out from underneath him and run to her rider, wrapping herself around her as she saw Caverna freeze, though she consequently pushed Hiccup out of the way and onto the floor when he lost his balance. Toothless walked over and helped Hiccup back to his feet before he looked at Snowcap who was baring her teeth a Valka, warning her to back off from her girl, this didn't surprise anyone but Valka, but what did surprise the men, was that Snowcap even bared her teeth at Hiccup when he tried to get closer to what Toothless assumed to be to comfort his sister.

"Snowcap, it's alright, I'm not going to harm her." Hiccup tried to tell the dragon, but nearly lost his hand when he stretched it out to the Night Fury and she snapped her jaws in warning.

Snowcap was feeling edgy because Caverna had actually stopped breathing since her whisper and she was as still as stone, as if she had turned into a statue at the mention that this woman was her mother, and this worried Snowcap because she had never seen her rider like this before, but she still heard Valka's words.

"I know." She whispered.
