Stoick's Funeral

3rd Person POV

A longboat sails across the dark icy waters, the waves calm and still along with the air. Stoick's body lays within it, a cloth covering his body and his helmet laying on top of him. A fog shrouded the area around it, covering most of the island and blocking the sky. Two lone arrows were pinned together on a crate and Gobber sighs heavily as he grabs them, plucking the two with his hand as he starts to speak.

"May the Valkyries welcome you and lead you through Odin's great battlefield...May they sing your name with love and fury..." Gobber said, his voice shaking lightly and filled with thick tears. 

"So that we may hear it rise from the depths of Valhalla, and know you have taken your rightful place at the table of Kings." Gobber continued. 

Gobber gently pats Hiccup's shoulder as he turns to join the others. 

"For a great man had fallen. A warrior... A Chieftain... A father...." Gobber continued. 

Hiccup looks at the bow in his hands, as stray tears fall down his face and takes a deep breath. 

"A friend." Gobber choked out after a moment, blinking away tears as he watches the boat carrying Stoick.

Y/n swallows a lump in her throat as she readied her arrow. Hiccup lit his arrow on fire and so did everyone else. Hiccup aimed at his father's ship and fired. Astrid, Valka, Y/n, Eret, Snotlout, Ruffnut, Tuffnut and Fishlegs aimed their flaming arrows and released. They fly across the water and land on the boat, lighting it as the flames engulf it.

Y/n drops the bow and look at the ship as flames engulf it. She knew she had to be strong for her mother and brother, but at that moment, she felt her heart shatter. She knew she had to get some alone time before she breaks down in front of everyone. Y/n doesn't exactly like pity and right now, it's not what she needed. 

"I need to be alone right now." Y/n mumbled as she walked off before anyone could stop her. 

Valka watched as her daughter walked off, she knew Y/n was hurting, but she didn't want to look weak. Valka walks over to Eret and taps his shoulder and told him that Y/n walked off. 

"What do you want me to do?" Eret asked. 

"I can tell the way my daughter looks at you and I can tell the way you look at her. She needs someone right now and I think she can open up to you, if you try. I've never seen her like this. She thinks she needs to be strong for everyone else, but when the dam gets too full, she can stay away from people for days at a time. Can you please go look for her and make sure, she's alright?" Valka asked and Eret nodded as he went after Y/n. 

Y/n POV

I walked off before I broke down in front of everyone. I found a secluded place and sat down with my knees to my chest. 

I couldn't hold it in, I started sobbing uncontrollably and nothing could stop it. 

I was crying so hard, I didn't hear someone behind me. 

"Valkyrie?" I heard Eret asked. 

"Eret?! What are you doing out here?" I asked. 

"I was going to asked you the same question. But, are you okay?" Eret asked as he sat down next me. 

"Well, I just lost my father, got my dragon taken away from me, my supposedly dead mother came back from dead after 20 years and now I have no idea what to do or how to be Drago and get our dragons back and keep my people safe. This is usually when I turn to Dad for advice, but without him as my shoulder to lean on, who can I turn to?" I asked.
