Y/n's POV

Berk was actually pretty nice, the people here were nice, the chief was nice. And most importantly, nobody had tried to kill us or our dragons sooooooo yay! 

Arjuna, Hiccup, Astrid and I were talking among ourselves when Arjuna said he needed to go see Gothi; he wanted to ask her about her healing remedies and such. Since he had no idea where her hut was, Astrid went with him, leaving me and Hiccup.  

"Come on, I wanna show you something" Hiccup said, grabbing my hand and pulling me somewhere. 

I smile, "Where are we going exactly Haddock?" I ask

"Come ON!" He says, smiling at Toothless. I look at D/n who looks just as confused as I felt. "Alright, alright, I'm coming." I say, running with him making my bracelets jingle. 

He sprints with me through the greenest forest I have ever seen, looking back ever so often to make sure I'm still with him.

I kinda want to stop and explore the forest, every time I stop to look at the forest, Hiccup stops and grabs my hand as he starts running. Eventually I just give up, because he keeps running so then I do to, D/n looks at me with confusion but I just helplessly shrug back signalling I have no idea what the heck is going on either.  

We run and run until Hiccup leads me to the end of a forest and near an ocean side cliff. What are we doing here, we're not going to jump right? I thought to myself, even though I have a fly suit, I don't really wanna free-fall jump off a cliff, that has sharp rocks at the bottom. 

"Whoa, what are we-" I start before I cut myself off as I look at Hiccup's smile, "I promise, you're gonna love it" he tells me before we start running again, I smile at him and follow him, sprinting. 

He leads me to a cave and I give him a questioning look, "We're not there yet, it's just on the other side of this cave, I promise, you're gonna love it!" Hiccup promises with the biggest smile on his face. 

The cave looks amazing, there are crystals at the top that light up the cave and bio-luminescent algae and fish in the cave, swimming in a steady stream of ocean water. Crystal stalactites hang from the cave, some of them as tall as me and some of them short and sharp like a deadly nadder spike. I look at them in wonder before Hiccup starts leading me through the cave saying "Come on!" in the most excited voice I have ever heard him use. 

I nod and follow him through the cave, about half way there Hiccup tells me to close me eyes, I oblige and he holds my hand, guiding me through the cave. I can hear is the drip drop of the water, falling from the stalactites, the soft padding of our dragons walking through the cave, the clacking of mine and Hiccup's shoes and the breathing of us and our dragons. 

After a couple minutes of walking he says "Alright, open your eyes." 

I open my eyes to see an amazing sight, (Picture above), we were standing at the exit of the cave, aqua blue ocean water lapping at our feet. Hiccup and I were standing on soft white sand and  around us were black contrasting rocks decorating the cove. 

The golden sun was overhead and invisible paintbrushes streaked the sky with purple, orange and pink hues as the beginning twilight leaked into the sky. The sun was lowering and the brightest silver full moon started to come more into view. 

Third Person POV

"Hiccup....... it's beautiful!"  Y/n says to him, "Yeah, beautiful" he says, dreamily, looking at her. He quickly looks away before she notices, ignoring the blush on his face as he says "This isn't the best part yet, come on"
