Quick Note: Because I am trying to avoid spoilers for How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, I won't be putting the soundtrack to accompany the story. But don't worry. Once I see the movie, I'll re-publish the parts with the soundtrack again. In the time being, I hope you still enjoy the story :)

The next morning came by once again, but the Vikings were less eager to wake up than normal. This may be due to the fact that the people of Berk continued to celebrate throughout the night, stopping just as the sun was starting to rise above the horizon. Nevertheless, the Vikings all got up eventually and went about their day.
While they took longer to get up, Hilda, on the other end, was more than willing to get up early. She had told her friends, Hiccup and Sterling during the celebration that she wanted to meet with them in the training ground. When the morning came, Hilda was already up and about, making her way to the training ground, meeting up with Starlight. Soon, Alric and Linda made their way to the training ground as well.
Hilda was waiting patiently, sitting on the ground while Starlight was eating fish. Once she saw Alric and Linda, she quickly got up from her feet.
"Hey, guys! Glad you came." she said enthusiastically.
"This better be important. You know how much I hate the morning." Linda tiredly said, rubbing her eyes.
"Oh, it is. Trust me." Hilda assured her. They waited for about 30 minutes more. This allowed Hilda and Alric to catch up with some things and Linda to catch up with some sleep. Soon enough, Martha, Hiccup and Sterling arrived at the training ground.
"Finally! I was about to get you." Hilda said, getting up along with Alric, as well as waking Linda up.
"Sorry about that. Someone got held up." Martha mentioned, giving an eye at her father.
"Hey, I'm a Chief. I got other things to worry about." Hiccup defended himself. Martha just smiled back before making her way to the centre, standing in front of Hilda, along with the others.
"Ok, Hilda. What did you call us here for?" Hiccup asked. Hilda gestured Starlight, who was still eating her fish, to come beside her, to which she happily complied.
"Alright. So, as you all know, I'm still somewhat learning the ways of training a dragon."
"Somewhat? Really?" Linda questioned.
Hilda sighed in annoyance. "OK, fine. I'm still learning the ways of training a dragon." she corrected herself. "Some bits are hard, like... well, flying. But some bits are a bit easy. Like giving a dragon a name." Everyone's face expressions all changed, showing interest in what will be said next.
Hilda smiled at this change before continuing. "So, with that being said..." She then stepped aside, giving Starlight a clearer view, and stretched her arms sideways, pointing directly at Starlight.
"Everyone, I would like you all to meet my dragon, Starlight." Hilda announced. Starlight lifted her head proudly with the announcement of her own name. The others commented on how much they'd actually liked the name she gave her.
"Well then. With that announcement, I think it's time for her to know about her trials." Sterling mentioned to Hiccup.
"I think so. Would you mind...?" Hiccup asked, but Sterling was already making his way out of the training ground.
"Wait, what trials?" Hilda asked confusingly.
"Don't tell us you forgot. You know. The trials." Alric emphasised. Hilda began ranking her brain about the 'trials'. Then, it came into her head and a big grin came upon her face.
