The village was celebrating their new home, throwing Hiccup in the air as they cheered for him.

Heather was sitting with Astrid. Astrid was drinking but she was not, she wasn't a fan of the taste of mead.

They partied far into the night until a very distressed Valka came out of the sky. Heather ran over to her as Valka checked on Cloudjumper.

"Mom! Are you hurt? What happened out there?" Hiccup asked as he came over to her.

"I don't know how, but Grimmel is tracking us," she said. Heather froze, she knew it had something to do with their encounter with Frida earlier. "He has a hundred ships, maybe more. And enough cages for all of our dragons."

Heather looked over at Windshear who was napping near a tree. She didn't want anything bad to happen to her dragon.

"Did you see Frida?" Heather asked.

"I did Heather. I told her what you told me, but she is scared to come home, part from Hiccup wanting to cut her head off and apparently she can't control herself anymore," Valka said with a sad expression.

Heather nodded and went back to her dragon, having heard what she wanted to hear. She had to get to Grimmel and free Frida. She wasn't going to let her suffer anymore.

She jogged back to her place on the cliff and began to change into her armor.

"What are you doing?" Heather quickly turned as she took off her top. Astrid was standing by the trees looking at her.

"I am going to Grimmel's lair. I am going to get my girlfriend back home. And I am going to do it with or without your help," Heather said and finished putting on her armor.

"No one is stopping you, Heather, we are all coming with you. We all want to take him down. Don't go without us, we still need to get into our gear."

They all flew through the star-filled night sky. They were closing in on Grimmel's layer and all the dragons were on edge. Toothless still hadn't come back so Hiccup was riding with Astrid.

They landed and jumped off their dragons. "You guys stay here, we will go in," Hiccup said to the dragons. The dragons flew up in the air and the gang walked in.

They hid behind a pile of rocks as a big dragon passed by.

"I think we should split up, that way it will be more difficult to catch us," Snotlout said. No one paid him any mind, not trusting his instincts.

"I think we should split up, just, because," Eret said. Heather had to admit, it sounded way better when he said it.

"I like your instincts," Valka said.

Heather went with Hiccup and Astrid while the others split up into small groups. They were walking through the dark place, barely seeing what was in front of them, when a big figure came walking towards them. They all quickly hid behind some rocks, but Heather peaked out.

It was Frida.

She looked awful. Sure she had her armor on but Heather could see how much thinner she had gotten. She didn't have her helmet on and Heather saw how much her hair had grown and the multiple cuts and bruises on her face were illuminated by the torch in her hand.

Her eyes were glowing purple and Shadow was trailing behind her.

She looked around and moved the torch as she did. Frida suddenly grabbed her head and leaned on Shadow.
