Hiccup's P.O.V: 5 years later:
It's been 5 years since I last seen Berk. 5 years since I last seen Stoic. 5 years since I killed the Red Death. 5 years since I last seen......her.

Astrid. I've been away for five years so I should've forgotten her by now, right? Wrong. Dead wrong. I cant bring myself to see anyone else, and it's driving me crazy!

Let's put that aside, I should tell you about what happens to me all those years.

I belive you all know who I am, but for those who came in late I'm Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the III. The Dragon Prince.

Let's start this from the beginning. 20 years ago, when I was a baby, I was bitten by a Night Furry. I was gifted with the power to reunite both races. And 15 years later, I met Toothless -who happen to be the same Night Furry that bit me- and we together had been working on bringing peace to both humans and dragons. Toothless taught me Dragonese, the language of dragons, to communicate with them easier.

We defeated the Red Death. Queen of the dragons' nest. In the cost of my leg but it's worth it. Three years later and we defeated Drago Blood-Vest and his dragon army. I remember when Drago's biwelder beast killed our biwelder beast to command the dragons. I rushed to him trying to save him but he refused. I remember what he said to me very clearly.

Flashback:
"Hiccup, my time is up, but your life is still ahead of you." He said to me. I looked at him with tears running down my face. He was like a father to me.

"B-B-But Alpa, I can save you!" I yelled. "I can't just sit back and watch you die!"

"I'll still watch over you." He said. 'How can he be so calm in a time like this?'

"I'll watch over you and guide you to the right way. When you feel that you got out of death's way, know that it was me looking over you and protecting you. You and Toothless are strong. Take care of each other."

He was really a true king. With all he has left, he sent one final message to all the dragons. And I can hear it since I'm the Dragon Prince "Bring peace to the archipelago, Night Fang, the Dragon Warrior." He then looked at me and gave me a weak smile. He doesn't have much time left. We both knew it. "You were like the son I never had......son." I smiled sadly. One of the many things I liked about him is that he considered me family.

"And you gave me the love my real father failed to give me.....dad" with one last effort he put his fore-head against mine. It's like a dragon hug. Then he fell on the ground limp. Dead.

End of flashback:
Night Fang. That's the name my other name. All the dragons know me by that name.

Since Toothless defeated the bad biwelder beast, he became the dragon alpha.

Dragon Fang island. My home. And home of many other dragons seaking safety. Oh! Let's not forget it's the home of the great biwelder beast himself! And yes he's Drago's biwelder beast. What is he doing here? A predictable questions. It's a funny story, actually.

After we defeated Drago, me and Toothless were looking for injured dragons. That's when we found him. He was injured and tired so we tried to help him. Eventually he told us that he did what he did because he was Drago's prisoner for three years. Of course! He was kept in for to long!

His name is Tusk. And he promised us that he'll protect Dragon Fang island and all the dragons to a make up for what he did. So our home looks more of an ice fortress than an island.

Toothless and I are explorers. We discovered lands beyond the archipelago and have a map with all of them. We've been doing it for 5 years so I think you can guess how big of a map it is.

Right now we're in my house. Toothless is taking a nap, Tusk is taking care of the dragons in his absence, and I'm leaning on the railing of my balcony, thinking.

What happened to Berk after 5 years? Is Gobber alright? Is Stoic alright? Did he even notice that I'm.........gone? But the most important question that I've been asking myself lately is.....

"5 years........ Astrid, what've you been up to?"

Astrid's P.O.V:
Berk has never been the same without Hiccup. Gobber can barely keep up with the costumers without his apprentice. The twins don't prank people as much as they used to. Fishlegs doesn't have anyone to talk about dragon knowledge with. Snotloud is now the heir of Berk so he's the only one getting benefits from Hiccup's..... death.

Remember when I said that Snotloud deserves to be killed by a dragon? I may or may not asked the twins to put fish in his pants while walking out of the
killing ring with the dragon cages wide open. All the village luaghed for the first time after Hiccup's death that day.

And Stoic? He's the worst of them all. He didn't sleep, he didn't eat, and he practically would've died if Gobber didn't stop by every now and then to force food down his throat. The lad looks like a ghost.

And me? I'm a strange case. I know he's dead but after 5 years my heart deosn't want to let go. It's like it knows that he's alive somehow. That he's out there fighting for something. Something big.

Even though I'm the first to know he died and I'm the first to cry over him, a part of me still think he's alive.

I wake up in the middle of the night often, but when I'm still half asleep I ask myself a question I have no idea why I ask it......

"5 years........ Hiccup, what've you been up to?"
