Comet Nights (HTTYD Fanfic)

Epilogue: Eggs Come Winter

Hiccup watched as the dragons dispersed, wingbeats slowly fading into silence. Comet stood, her blue eyes watching everything as a massive Golemscreamer deposited two forms in front of her: Drago and Toothless. Hiccup and Astrid rushed over to the Night Fury while Comet, her scales glowing faintly, went to loom in front of Drago, her eyes cold slits.

"Deathjewel?" moaned Drago. "No, no, I'm sorry..."

She harrumphed, and the Golemscreamer- who had never left- walked over. He bowed his head to the glorious Alpha Female. With a flick of her tail, she commanded the dragon to take her tormentor away. He followed her orders, stony claws curling around the gibbering Drago and lifting him up into the sky. Soon, both figures had disappeared.

Comet stopped glowing and leaped over to Toothless, wide-eyed in happiness. The last binding split under Astrid's knife and the Night Fury jumped up.

He hugged Hiccup and Astrid, wrapping his wings around them in a scaly embrace. Hiccup had never been so happy, and he spread his arms around Toothless's stomach and smiled. His beloved Night Fury grinned too, and clucked in glee.

Softly, he untangled his wings from around them and stared at Comet. She looked down and lashed her tail, bashful.

He smiled, and she smiled back. They went to each other, wrapping tails and wings around each other, touching noses and humming in harmony. Two hearts beating in tandem...

Hiccup draped one arm over Astrid's shoulders and leaned down to kiss her. After they broke, they watched the two Night Furies, Comet's head underneath Toothless's, so in love that it hurt Hiccup's heart.

"We did it. We won." murmured Astrid.

"No. Comet won. She saved us, all of us. She's an extraordinary dragon- maybe the most extraordinary one of them all."

"Maybe. You need to apologize, I think."

"Yeah."

Quietly, Hiccup walked over to the pair of dragons.

"Comet." he whispered.

She opened her eyes.

"I'm sorry."

She stared at him, then closed her eyes and purred, leaping from Toothless to curl around him. He laughed, and she did too, vibrating in his chest.

"You're my family, Comet. And Astrid. And you too, Toothless." said Hiccup, spotting his dragon's fake pout. They had done it.

"Hey, where's Stormfly?"called a voice from behind.

"Uh-oh."

And then he was running down to Astrid, laughing as the sun shone down on his face, on the whiteness, and on two Night Furies in love.

Behind him, Comet walked over to Toothless, and he spread his wing over her back. She basked in his love, the love they shared.

Everything was going to be all right. She knew it.

Because this time, there would be eggs- eggs come winter!
