No more than a year later

The promise that the man made was fulfilled

Berk would fall

The night was perfect

No clouds

A full moon

Calm seas

The man and the monster landed

They stopped in the cove

Where this all started

Where they started

The man sighed

A mix of happy and sad

That place always made them smile

They made a fire

Tonight was the night Berk fell

The man wasn't happy

The Monster cooed to the man

It mad the man smile

"Thanks Bud"

He grabbed the dragons head

The boy kissed The Monster

It nuzzled him

"Toothless listen

Tonight

Were not Toothless and Hiccup

We have to be The Monster and The Man"

The Monster huffed

Smoke poured from its nostrils

"Listen Bud

I'm going to give them one more chance."

The Monster nodded

He knew

The Man desperately wanted them to change

Only if they listened

Idiots

Soon others began to land

The last year

They flew island to island

making new friends

The Monster helped

Well respected amongst the others

They greeted their new friends

So many types

Many came

couldn't fit inside the cove

They started landing outside

peering in

The Man got their attention

He started his speech

The Monster stood near

The Man thanked them

He told them

How much he appreciated this

He told them about his plan

To give them one more chance

They all growled

The confirmation he wanted

He smiled at his army

The Man thanked them

"Let's go bud"

The Monster complied

The Man jumped on patting the dragon's head

Ready to go

They flew slowly

Enjoying their last flight

Before a possible war

The Man spotted the village

The man looked behind him

Tailed by his army

Hundreds strong

If not thousands

They landed

The villagers gasped and ran for their weapons

Under a minute the army came down

On houses, posts, roaring and snapping at the villagers

No time passed as Stoick ran

Not away

Towards where the people said

The Man was

His shoulders heaved

As he stopped in front of The Man and Monster

Fear baked into his eyes

Unable to vocalize

His own son scared him

Stoick the Rock, Stoick the Vast, the Unshakable

People would call him that

His son's confidence scared him

"Father!"

Stoick's ears rung, hearing the voice

"I'll give you one more chance

Please listen."

A Nightmare and
And a Snaptrapper

Began to fight

The Monster roared

The two instantly stopped

"Thanks Bud"

Bubbled The boy

He scratched the dragon's neck

The scratch made him purr

The villagers had never heard a dragon

Purr

It threw them off guard

"How did you do that?"

"You never gave them a chance

They're not Monsters

Their smart and lovable."

Hiccup bumped his shoulder into his love

Claimed

By The Monster

"Vikings don't just change

Hiccup."

"But you have too

Father."

"I can't believe this

But can I touch

Him?"

The Monster

The Monster snarled

"No

He won't allow that

Neither will I

But let's see."

The man walked

looking for something

Then he found it; a Rumblehorn

The Man touched it

Asking it to follow

It complied

It trusted The Man; his friend

The Man faced his father again

"I'll allow you to touch this one

But no weapons

And no sudden movements."

Stoick dropped his hammer

Slowly moving towards the mountain called dragon

The Monster eyed The Man

The Man smiled to The Monster

"Finally they may change

It only took impending death."

He whispered to The Dragon

The chief stuck out his hand

Inches away from the mountain

Eyes down not wanting to scare it

The same way The Man did The Monster

The Man nodded to the mountain

It moved, connecting man and beast

The chief slowly looked up

He couldn't believe he wasn't dead

The Chief looked to The Man

Who only smiled in response

The Monster cooed at The Man

"We did it Bud."
