Hiccup and Katara looked at each other; waiting for the other to speak. Katara opened her mouth to say something, but Hiccup was faster. "Katara," he said.

Katara backed up; shocked. 'How do you know my name!?' she asked.

Hiccup held up the notebook and Katara gasped. "Katara," he said again, "I know what happened to him. To your Rider. He was killed for a crime that he didn't commit."

Katara glared at Hiccup. 'That is right,' she shook her head.

"But look," Hiccup held up papers to her, "It says here that he was later pardoned for the crime."

'A pardon isn't going to bring back!' Katara growled.

Toothless, who stood behind Hiccup stepped forward a bit and growled back. But Hiccup held his arm up; telling Toothless to back down.

"Yes I know that," Hiccup looked right at Katara's beautiful green eyes, "But neither is staying upset. I know what's it's like to loose someone dear to you. But you have to let go and move on."

'You dare lecture me human?,' Katara growled some more.

"No," Hiccup shook his head, "I come to help you." He held out his hand, "As a friend."

Katara stared at the hand; it looked so much like Hiccup the Second's. Every bit of her wanted to accept it; to let him help. Katara backed up into the cave. 'No,' she refused, 'I will not have my heart broken again! And every human on earth shall pay!'

"Please," Hiccup begged, "Staying stuck in the past won't help you or let him rest in peace."

'SILENCE!' Katara roared. She opened her mouth; her throat turned red as flames appeared at the back of her mouth.

Toothless jumped in front of Hiccup and shot a Plasma Blast at her. It hit Katara's throat; causing the giant dragon to knocked back. She hit the ceiling of the cave then fell back down. She fell back down; a little stunned. Katara growled and snarled at Toothless. She opened her mouth to attack, but suddenly the cave began to crumble. It fell apart and pinned Katara to the ground. By this time the horde of Night Furies had come out to see what was going on. They stood and hovered there; speechless by what they saw.

Eventually, one came to him. The dragon looked at him then bowed; accepting Toothless has his new Alpha. The other Night Furies did the same. Toothless looked at Hiccup. He didn't care about the Night Furies in front of him. He ran over to Katara; her breaths were labored. "Are you alright?" he asked her.

'You want to know if I am okay?' Katara groaned, 'You don't just have his name and look like him, but you seem to also share a personality with Hiccup the Second.' Katara closed her eyes for a second then opened them. 'Leave me be,' she told him, 'Tell the humans that their villages will no longer be attacked.'

Hiccup's heart sank. "W-We can get you out," Hiccup looked back at the others, "Come on guys! Help me!"

The others just stood there; knowing that there was no point.

'I said go,' Katara demanded, 'Let me be at peace.'

Hiccup stepped back; tears rolling down his face. He sat the papers and the notebook down in front of her; then he looked at her eyes. And Hiccup reached out his hand and touched her snout. Katara purred softly.

"It's time to go," Valka placed her hands on Hiccup's shoulders and moved him away from her.

Hiccup climbed onto Toothless and looked back at Katara. She had her eyes closed; her breath was soft.

They took the air; and the horde of Night Furies followed they're new Alpha.

O

They flew back to the Roman village in silence. Hiccup shook his head; it didn't feel right to just leave her there alone. He wanted to turn back; to help her; but what could he do? Who knew how long it would take to remove all of those boulders?

Astrid looked at Hiccup. She felt pity for him. She motioned for Stormy to fly over to them. Stormy did and Astrid slid off and landed on Toothless; taking them both by surprise. She wrapped her arms around him. He accepted the hug. And they continued flying.

However, in the forest next to the Roman village, a young Zippleback was chasing it's tail. The dragon snapped at it's body part as it ran in a circle; determined to catch it. As it chased it's tail the gas head let out some gas and instinctively the spark head lit it. The gas exploded in its face; making the dragon halt. One piece, however, flew off and landed in a patch of grass. The fire engulfed the grass as it grew bigger, and bigger...and bigger.
