We skim across a dark, wild ocean. Giant, ice-covered shards of rock jut out of the calm water. We approach a snowy island, Berk.
"This is Berk, boasting the kind of balmy, fun-in-the-sun climate that will give you frostbite in your spleen." Hiccup (V.O.)
We drift over the village. It's empty, save for the smoke of early morning fires. We settle on Stoick's house.
"The one upside is our annual holiday. We call it Snoggletog. Why we chose such a stupid name remains a mystery. But with the war long over..." Hela (V.O.)
In Hela's bedroom. Hela and Astrid are sleeping in her bed, their sword and axe are resting on the bedpost. Hela's eyes open slowly before looking at Astrid whose head is comfortably resting on her chest.
...and dragons living amongst us, this year's Snoggletog promises to be one to remember." Hiccup (V.O.)
Hela smiles at how adorable Astrid looks asleep. She thinks of how 4 days from now they'll be exchanging betrothal gifts 'I have to make/think of something to give her as a betrothal gift' Hela thought. She gently moves Astrid trying to not wake her up before getting out of bed slowly.
She grabs her sword which she straps to the left side of her belt as walks towards the door, before she exits the room she looks back at Astrid who has a slight frown on her face missing the warmth next to her making Hela chuckle before walking out closing the door quietly.
"Morning Hela, you're up early, well earlier than usual," Stoick says his voice being a bit loud making Hela shush him as she points to her room.
"Oh, sorry," he says quietly. They move away from her room and go outside.
"So where are you headed," Stoick asks.
"I was thinking of heading to the workshop to make my betrothal gift to Astrid seeing as in 4 days it'll be 6 moons since we announced our betrothal," Hela tells him making him nod.
"I see, wait here I have something to give you," Stoick says as he heads back in. He walks to his room and kneels next to his bed to remove a loose floorboard before looking inside, his eyes softening as he reaches in and takes out a small wooden chest covered in dust.
"Valka, I wish you were here to give this to our daughter like you were supposed to instead of me," He says, his eyes glossing before he closes them and takes a deep breath to calm down. He stands up and blows the dust off of the chest before walking back outside where Hela was waiting."Here," Stoick says as he hands her the chest.
Hela takes the wooden chest and opens it, inside she finds a necklace with a depiction of the world tree Yggdrasil. "It's beautiful,"
