HTLANF: Hidden World

Epilogue?

Fifteen Years Later

There was war when I was a hatchling. Oh, there were great grim battles between humans and dragons that went on for weeks. Little feuds over who got to kill which human or this dragon or that. Preposterously huge fires that burned twenty times as big as the big blue whale. Some say it was all a dream, with not a battlefield or bodies left to prove it by. Others say they were nothing but folk tales to begin with. I'm okay with that.

Three Night Fury hatchlings race one another ahead of their parents as they make their way to the Hidden World. The parents flew side by side behind them with smiles as they made sure their daughter and sons didn't get out of hand.

The father was rather small compared to the mother in dragon form and had forest green eyes, while the mother had toxic green eyes and a very noticeable red tailfin with a white Night Fury symbol on the fabric.

The eldest of the hatchlings was their daughter, who had both forest green and toxic green eyes. The middle hatchling, the energetic tike that he was, had forest green eyes. And the youngest of them all had toxic green eyes like his mother.

As they were flying, the eldest and middle hatchlings started to fight midair and their mother roared at them, which got the two hatchlings to stop and look at her.

"Hey! What have your father and I said about fighting in midair?" She scolded.

The two hatchlings whimpered in apology with their heads down, earplates flat against their heads.

"Sorry Momma.." They apologized in unison.

Their mother huffed and nudged the both of them to keep going to catch up with their father and little brother.

"It's alright, just don't do it again. Go on. We're almost there." She urged.

The two hatchlings lit up and raced after their father and brother to catch up to them and their mother shook her head as she sped up to catch up to her family.

As she had said, they arrived at the entrance of the Hidden World a minute later and landed on a large rock floating at the edge of the waterfall. There were three dragons waiting there for the family, one adult Light Fury, and two Light Fury hatchlings.

The adult smiled and bowed her head in greeting to the two adult Night Furies. "It's good to see the two of you again, Hiccup, Kala." She greeted happily.

Kala smiled and bowed in greeting as well. "You as well Luna."

Hiccup did the same and smiled. "Been a while. How are things?"

"They have been well. Lumi and Olen have been learning how to transform this past week. And what of your hatchlings? Have they finally gotten control of their dragon forms?" Luna asked with a tilt of her head.

Both Night Furies plopped onto the ground tiredly and Luna giggled.

"Are they that much more of a handful now?" She asked, knowing full well that the answer was yes.

"You have no idea. Dart and Stoick are constantly fighting each other and destroying anything and everything they can get their hands on." Kala explained with a tired sigh.

"And what of Lief?" Luna asked as the three adults looked at the five hatchlings as they played, making sure none of them accidentally fell into the entrance or the ocean.

"He's the complete opposite of his siblings. He'd much rather stay with either Kala or I the majority of the time, or is snoozing away in a sun patch or anywhere he finds comfy." Hiccup said with a shrug.

"We still have no idea where he got it from, but at least that's one less hatchling we have to wrangle each and every second." Kala added.

Luna nodded with a small laugh. "Yes, I can imagine."

The three adult Furies jump in surprise when they hear a yelp from the five hatchlings and look in that direction to see Dart, Stoick and Olen fighting one another. The three adults huff in sync and walk over to the hatchlings, pulling the three of them apart.

Legend says that when you hear an echoing screech or battle cry from far off, it's the memory of battles between our races reminding us to get along.

Hiccup and Kala raced each other in hybrid form as Luna let the children rest on her back as she glided calmly on a wind current as she followed the two Night Furies.

Dart and Stoick cheered on their parents in their human forms, Stoick for his father and Dart for her mother respectfully.

Kala smirked at her mate and pulled him into a kiss, making him dazed with a dorky smile as she sped ahead of him, her tail rubbing under his chin as she passed him by.

Hiccup shook his head to break out of his love-struck trance and smirked as he sped up to catch up to her.

Yes, the world believes that war between humans and dragons never happened, if it even existed at all. But we Berkians...we know otherwise. And we'll keep the peace going until the days come to an end.
