Hiccup walked into the cove, carrying a large basket over his shoulder, and called, "We're leaving; let's pack up." He called into the cove for his dragon as he looked around for the black-scaled beast. "We're taking a vacation forever," he said as he set the bag down, a mischievous smile on his lips. Little did they know that this 'vacation forever' was the start of a new chapter in their lives, filled with unexpected adventures and discoveries.
"Let's see if I have everything," Hiccup pondered, his brows knitting in concentration as he meticulously examined the contents. 'Spare clothes, fishing gear for our survival needs, a notebook and pencil to chronicle our escapades, and of course, my trusty forge kit,' he enumerated, each item a testament to his meticulous planning.
A playful growl filled the air as Hiccup turned to Toothless. "Let me just set this all up, and then we'll be off,' he informed the dragon, who responded with a nod and a gummy smile.
Hiccup walked over and started to attach the basket to the saddle before he sighed. Toothless looked at him and gave him a soft wine, "I know, but this is so that I can be me, and keep you safe," Hiccup told him as Toothless nodded.
After a few minutes of checks, Hiccup nodded to himself, "There, that seems to do it," he said as he got onto the back of Toothless.
"Are you really going to go without saying goodbye, lad?" a voice called to Hiccup, who turned to see his mentor looking at him with his grandmother.
"How," Hiccup asked as Toothless bore his teeth as he looked at both of them.
Gothi looked at him with a gentle smile as she held up his bag. Hiccup looked at her, "Gothi has been seeing the two of you fly off around Berk, Hiccup and when she told me I thought she was pulling my hook, but then I saw the two of you one day," Gobber told him and smiled at his apprentice, "And when I saw how happy you were I saw something that made me stop, you were truly happy on the back of your dragon than in the village," He told him as Hiccup got off his dragon and walked over to the two of them.
Gothi started to write into the dirt as both Gobber and Hiccup looked down at what she was doing, "Your fate is not here on Berk or on land, it's in the sky," Gobber read as Hiccup looked at his grandmother, "Go now so you can show your body is that of a man, and the heart of a druid, what's a druid," Gobber asked as Gothi rolled her eyes and hit him over the head.
"Dragon, oh I see, the heart of a dragon," Gobber mended as he nodded, and both grandmother and grandson rolled their eyes at him.
Gothi held out Hiccup's bag once more to him. "I put all your plans in it, along with all your blueprints, along with some maps for you to use," Gobber said to him. Hiccup smiled, hugged them both, and then attached the bag to Toothless's saddle.
Gobber looked at Toothless as Hiccup got onto the saddle. "You look after him, dragon. He might not be my blood, but he's my son," he told Toothless, who nodded at him.
And so Toothless spread his wings as Hiccup held on before Toothless took to the sky.
Gobber and Gothi looked into the sky as the black dot Hiccup and Toothless started getting smaller until it disappeared entirely from the sky.
"I'll tell Stoic," Gobber said as he walked off, leaving Gothi looking at the sky with a smile as she turned around.
Once she saw that Gobber had left, she asked, "Are you sure he is the one you have chosen?" She asked as a woman walked out.
The woman stood tall, her long platinum hair flowing gracefully behind her. Her eyes were a mesmerising kaleidoscope of colours, never settling on one hue, and they had an otherworldly quality. Despite being barefoot, she exuded an air of elegance and mystery, cloaked in a flowing, floor-length black dress.
"I am, and he will lead people to a new era," she said, Gothi, as the elder bowed her head at her. She turned into light and faded away.
Hiccup was flying across the water as night started to creep in, "Let's sit down for the night," Hiccup told his dragon, who banked left as he found a sizeable pillar-like island.
He pulled out furs that he kept in a roll and laid them down.
After a while, he fell asleep, with Toothless using his wing to cover Hiccup from the wind as the two slept.
And they dreamed the same dream as they soar the sky.
The sky was a clear day with the sun high in the sky.
But then their dreams took a turn as something appeared before them.
It was a giant platinum dragon with small, furry red tufts, two starting from its collarbone and stretching around its neck and one each on its wrists and ankles; on the earthier side of its head are two long forward-pointing horns, with black strips extending from their centre towards the tips.
It had four legs and two mighty wings.
"Hello, Hiccup Haddock, I am Dezeha, Goddess and Mother of all dragons and I come to give something," Dezeha said as Hiccup looked at her.
Hiccup and Toothless looked around as the sky they were flying in changed to a void of transparent white.
"Why have you come to me," Hiccup asked her as Dezeha looked at him.
"The gods of the Norse has forsaken you and I have challenged them to a duel for you, and I won that duel, but know that it does not mean that I can control you, but it means that I can act in guiding you to a future that will suit you," Dezeha told him as she landed and walked towards dragon and rider.
"But why me," Hiccup asked her as she was only a few feet from the two of them.
She said nothing as she folded her wings around them, and the pure white turned into pitch black. Hiccup blinked, and he looked around.
It was day, and he was still under Toothless's wing, who unfolded his wing.
And standing before the both of them was Dezeha.
"Are you ready?" she asked him. Hiccup looked at her in amazement but nodded and got onto the back of his dragon.
And so the two dragons took off and flew.
They pass over islands and outcroppings.
But they kept flying.
"Stick with me," She told him as they reached a fog bank.
The fog bank that leads out of the archipelago.
Hiccup and Toothless followed the goddess through the fog bank as the fog seemed to move out of the way.
They moved past ships and rocky outcroppings in the fog, and Toothless kept his eyes on Dezeha's tail as she moved through the mist.
Soon, the weather took a turn around them, and a storm appeared with rain, thunder, and lightning around them.
"It's not that much further now, and then we are out of the fog bank," The Dragon Goddess told him. After a few seconds, the two dragons and rider left the fog bank and zoomed through the air.
They moved through the air as Hiccup looked around. "Where are we going now?" he asked Dezeha.
"This way," she said as she led him across the sea. For what seemed like hours, the three travelled with Toothless, not getting tired as Hiccup looked around before Dezeha stopped in the air. "We're here," she said as Hiccup looked around, Toothless doing the same.
"Where are we," Hiccup asked her as she looked at him.
"We are 12,742 kilometres from Berk and the place where your island will be formed," Dezeha said as she looked at Hiccup, "You two might want to move back," She told them as she flew a little bit further.
And so she reared her head back and let out a loud roar that shook the water below them, and Hiccup held on tight.
When she finished her roar, the water started to move, and when Hiccup looked down, he saw it spinning around and around, "Whirlpool?" Hiccup asked but was proven wrong as a titanic dragon arose from the water.
"No, the last remaining Pangien that I created and I have him make your island," Dezeha said with a smile as Hiccup looked at her as she looked to him, "Do not be sad as this is why he was born and it is his job, to make land for humans to live on," She informed him as Hiccup turned his gaze back to the Pangien who was now on the surface of the water and was still moving around in a circle motion.
His body started to move in a shape-like pattern, with his back forming a large ring of mountains.
The three moved up in the air to better understand what was happening. They saw his neck snaking around until he formed a backward '6' of land.
On the other side of the island was a backward '9' and just water.
"Oh, he's made the Yin-Yang symbol," Dezeha said as Hiccup looked at her.
"Yin-Yang?" He asked.
"It symbolises the balance between two opposites with a portion of the opposite element in each section," She explained to him as Hiccup looked down at Toothless with a smile.
"That's the best way to sum the two of us up if I ever heard about it," Hiccup told Toothless.
Smaller islands started to grow out of the ground, and a volcano formed out of a lake.
"So the land is the yang while the water is the yin," Dezeha said as he looked at the island.
"Why is there a large body of water on the yang side and a large island on the yin side," Hiccup asked her.
"The large lake with the volcano is to represent that within evil there is good," The Dragon Goddess told him as Hiccup nodded, "While the large round island in water is to represent the good in evil," She finished telling him as the Pangien finished moving as he moved his body one last time forming an arch with his body making for an accessible entrance and exit for the water.
He moved his head until he stopped his movement.
Hiccup bowed his head, wishing the dragon a tremendous eternal rest.
But that was when Hiccup saw something, "There is no grass or trees or anything like that," He said as Dezeha nodded and let out a sharp whistle.
An enormous rush of wind from above him as a giant dragon with gigantic wings flew over the island; it scattered scales as it flew over, and to the amazement of Hiccup and Toothless, when the scales landed on the ground, patches of grass and plant life formed out of the ground and soon a forest grew out of the rock.
And that was not all. Hiccup watched Dezeha make noise after noise, and more strange-looking dragons flew in.
Some flew over the island, adding something like land across the shores.
Some had a purpose that only came from their death, as a few flew into the volcanos, and once inside, their bodies turned into magma.
After a while, the dragons stopped making the island and started to bring in animals.
Some of the dragons started to bring in strange animals.
"Here are your island's cattle, the Uchidraco. You can get milk and meat from them," Dezeha told Hiccup, who looked at the animals.
The Ushidraco is a hexapod bovine creature with six legs and three toes on each foot. They were covered in shaggy black fur, had long, flat tails, and had brown eyes. Each toe has three knuckles and a pair of curved gravy horns on the top of its head. The skin colour beneath the fur is pink.
"Now, here comes the animal that will work for your island sheep. They are called Ovistsuno, and they can produce wool and be used for meat as well," Dezeha told him as Hiccup saw that the following animals were brought over.
Ovistsuno are ovine. They have dark blue skin, a thick coat of wool, and two sets of horns on their heads, which are cloven. They have four-foot dark blue-hooved feet with long tails and balls of yarn on the ends of the tails.
Other animals were bought in as well.
There were some normal animals, like chickens, and then some bizarre animals, like a six-legged pig.
And then there was a considerable while that was white with black markings.
"Now that the animals, along with the fruits and vegetables, are here, let's set you down and place my mark on the island before you can make your new home," Dezeha told him as she, along with Toothless, glided down to the ground that was not that far from the water's edge.
After landing, Dezeha led Hiccup to a nearby extensive cave system.
Once the three were inside, they found that cyan gems were shining and sticking out of the rock in the cave.
"Now, before I go, here is your first gift, Methil, a metal that is the strongest in this world," She told Hiccup, who dismounted off Toothless, "While it is strong, when merged with dragon scales can make something even stronger, Dragon Steel," Dezeha told him as she lead him back out and the three walked over to a large open area.
A platinum glow flowed off her as a fountain of white marble grew out of the ground.
The fountain looked like a monolith, with a statue of Dezeha on top and statues of four other dragons around the base, which shot water from their mouths into the fountain's bowl.
"With this mark, I have protected this island from all harm and no dragon shall attack it," She told Hiccup, who looked at her before he fell to one knee.
"I plead my life to you, my lady," Hiccup said as she looked down at him before moving her head over to his and pressing their heads together.
"Live long Hiccup Dovahkiin, king of Yin-Yang Island and my warrior on this plane of creation," Dezeha said as she spread her wings and took to the air.
Hiccup looked up at the sky with a smile as Toothless looked at his rider and tiled his head at him, "As of this day, I am a new man, Hiccup Haddock the third died yesterday, today I am Hiccup Dovahkiin," He said as Toothless smiled at him, "So how about tomorrow we look around the island and learn about our new home," Hiccup asked his dragon who nodded.
So, the two of them started to explore their new home.
