(Normal pov)

Astrid woke up with beams of sunlight warming her body, she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and sat up to stretch her arms, she looked down and smiled warmly at the sight of her beloved. Hiccup looked so peaceful when he's sleeping, she leaned down and kissed her lips, she kissed them again, and again, and again until he lazily kissed her back. When they broke apart they shared a warm smile.

"Good morning handsome."

"Good morning gorgeous."

He slowly sat up and they smiled at each other. "Hiccup. Last night was... mind blowing, I'm glad I shared my body with you. You are the only man on this earth I ever want to give my body to." Hiccup smiled and embraced her, she returned it and they nuzzled into each other. "I feel the same Astrid. My heart will forever belong to you." Astrid laughed softly and kissed his temple, they held each other a little longer before separating.

"Are you ready to end this?" She asked, Hiccup looked out the window and hummed.

"I am."


(Island of Berk)

"Chieftain Jorgenson!!"

Snotlout rushed to where his men called out on the wall, one Viking handed him a telescope, Snotlout took it and saw an entire swarm of dragon riders and a massive fleet of ships; Outcasts, Berserkers and many more, but the lead ships sails had a Night Fury and the emblem of a new chieftain at the center of the dragon.

"Hiccup." Snotlout snarled, he then turned to his men. "Offer them a parlay, I wish to speak with my cousin before blood is spilled." The Vikings nodded and started swinging the flags of parlay.

Snotlout was dressed in dark brown leather armor and had his bear fur cape at his back, he approached his inner circle of friends: Breena, Helga, Magnus and Stefinr, all dressed in dark brown leather armor too, they were Snotlout's most loyal followers, even from the beginning.

"What're you going to do Snotlout?"

"The gods themselves must come to our side in this fight."

"Even with Snake and Wolf tribes helping us, we're vastly outnumbered."

"And they have dragons too, not to pile up the bad news and all.

Snotlout rolled his eyes and crossed his arms with an angry glare. "All of you shut up. This parlay is a ruse." The group raise their eyebrows, Snotlout snorts and continued. "I'm going to pretend to surrender and offer Hiccup ale, Helga, you're going to add poison into his ale. Without their leader, we may just have a fighting chance." Helga shrugged but nodded. "Sure thing Chief." Snotlout saw his family and other members of the council approach.

"Is it true? You offer that traitor a parlay?!" Mildew asks in disbelief, Snotlout growls and nods. "Shut up Mildew! I have a plan to kill Hiccup at this "parlay." I'm going to order a fake surrender and we'll offer Hiccup ale, Helga is going to poison him." Spitelout bums and shrugs. "It could work, I pray to the gods your cousin doesn't smell the poison." Snotlout waves the words of caution away and turns to him men.

"Bring me a piece of paper and ink. I'll send my cousin the parlay details."


(Hiccup's dreadnaught)

An arrow whistled through the air and struck the deck of Hiccup's dreadnaught. A Viking plucked the arrow out of the decks floor and saw a message attached to it. "Lord Haddock?" Hiccup descended down the stairs with Astrid and Toothless, the Viking handed the young man the arrow, Hiccup took the message and began reading.

"I'm offering this parlay because I want to talk to you Hiccup. Come, bring twenty men with you, I've gathered mine, meet us at the plains. I promise, no tricks, I just want to talk to you cuz."
