The wind was splashing across our faces with enough frosty air to chill you down to your bones.

We stood in the very spot we let our dragons go. Hundreds of them racing towards peace and freedom. I can still see them in my mind's eye flying into the horizon.

Hiccup's hand never let go.

"Thank you guys, for everything. For changing our life's for the better and giving us a taste of harmony between worlds. Toothless... I know you are protecting them, just as you protected us. I'll miss you bud"

His grip slightly tightens.

"Thank you for being by our sides through the best and worst of times. Stormfly, my good girl, you are safe now. Thank you Toothless for changing my perspective on life. I wouldn't be standing here or with who I fell I love with, without you" I add on.

We take a deep breath and hold for a short while.

Soon we hear footsteps behind us.

Fishlegs, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, my mother-in-law, Eret, Gobber and Snotlout all come and stand with us.

The breeze slowed its whipping path.

The world seemed to had stopped for just a moment. Like a moment of silence in remembrance of where we came from.

Hiccup pulls me into his side and I lay my head on his shoulder.

This is such a defining moment for us Berkians.

May the gods help us to lead our village into the future.

A/N:
Hey guys sorry it's a short chapter! This is a filler piece, but this ends where the film cuts off after the wedding, and where I plan on taking off on my own story! Of course the very ending of HTTYD 3 will be a part of this, but I want to write about the 10 years we don't see!

Thank you for the reads and votes so far!
