HTTYD 3 The Hidden World: Eret x Reader

Epilogue

Y/n POV

We did it. It's over. It's finally over. Grimmel is gone and the Dragon Trappers are no more. I open my eyes and look over to see Toothless and Shadowstryke with their respective partners. Toothless and I make eye contact and he then looks off into the distance. 

I feel myself frown and I look at Hiccup. He gives me a sad smile as he looks away from me and I look to see Toothless with sad expression too. I didn't want it to be, but things have changed. Even if Grimmel is gone, there are still people out there who will hurt dragons.

"Hiccup, you know what we have to do." I stated with a hand on his shoulder. 

Hiccup looked at with a sad look, but I could tell that he knew I was right. He walked over to Toothless and he rubbed his head as Toothless cooed softly. 

"You're right, bud, you and Y/n. It's time. I was so busy fighting for a world I wanted... I didn't think about what you needed." Hiccup stated as he looked at the Lightfury. 

Hiccup smiled at her then look back to Toothless again. 

"You and Shadowstryke have looked after us long enough. Time to look after yourselves." Hiccup said and I could he was holding back a sob.

After Hiccup said his goodbye to Toothless, I walked over to Shadowstryke and Rubystryke. Shadowstryke cooed as I rubbed his head. 

"You and I both know that this will be for the best, bud. You belong with Rubystryke, not with me. You and I had a good run, baby boy. But it's time to look after yourself and your mate." I said. 

Rubystryke cooed as she nuzzled against me, trying to tell me that she wants to stay with me. 

"Rubystryke, even though we haven't known each other for that long, you know you'll always be my best girl. I couldn't have found a better mate for my boy. I know you will make him happy, but our world doesn't deserve you guys, not yet at least. I'm going to miss you both so much, but we know this is right." I stated. 

3rd Person POV

As everyone watches the sad scene, Astrid looks down in thought then looks back and sees Valka nods her head. Astrid frowns but stays strong as she walks to Stormfly. She slides her hand across the Nadder's chin as she goes and removes the saddle. It drops to the ground as Stormfly moves to look at Astrid. 

"Oh, Stormfly. My good girl." Astrid's voice breaks as she rest her head on her friend's. 

The Nadder closes her eye as the two share one last embrace. 

"Alright, Grumpy. Off you go." Gobber says as he removes Grump's saddle. The Hotburple coos softly at his friend. 

"So long, you big ugly beast. Miss you." Eret says to Skullcrusher, as he removes the saddle. 

The Rumblehorn huffs at him as the man softly pets him.

Fishlegs pets Fishmeat then lays a hand on Meatlug as the Gronckle looks at him with a smile. Snotlout watches with a sad frown but then goes and removes Hookfang's saddle. The rest of the people follow as they remove gear from their dragons. Releasing them so that they will be safe. 

"Oh, Cloudjumper." Valka holds the Stormcutter's face with gentle hands as the two embrace. 

Tuffnut softly nudges Ruffnut as the two look at each other with sadness. Barf and Belch behind them as they stay close until ready.

So enough, every dragon was ready as Hiccup, Y/n, Toothless and Shadowstryke all watch. Hiccup lays a hand on Toothless' head and Y/n does the same with Shadowstryke.
