Epilogue

Hiccup sat in his bed with crossed legs as he gently turned page by page in the black leather book, Toothless giant head resting peacefully in his lap. A small smile played on the boys lips the whole time he read through the notes. It must have taken a good while for Astrid and the other teens to collect every note and it warmed his heart to see every person caring enough to sign. After reading five letters in a row that he, hand on heart, had absolutely no idea who they were from, he saw two familiar names.

"Hiccup, we are TRULEY SORRY for treating you like that, you aren't that bad of a boy ya' know,

-Mulch and Bucket."

Reading the short note he felt a pang of sadness again. Bucket, together with Gobber had actually been the one treating him the best and even standing up for him when the other teens where mean. Though after his brain had been damaged two years ago he didn't even remember Hiccup. It was like loosing an uncle. Mulch in turn, had just avoided him. Bucket had once told him because it was he had this idea of Hiccup bringing trouble and ad luck.

Shaking the memories out of his head, trying to tell himself it's a new time now and maybe they could start over, he saw another name he recognized. It was from a teen in the village, a student in dragon training two years ago.

"Don't ever be afraid to be who you are. Life is tough, full of twists and turns. Life is full of pain, sorrow and grief. It is also full of happiness, love, hope and wonder. Life is a real journey. But the people who love you is with you through it all.

-AR"

Hiccup reread the rune-written words three times just to let them sink in. When he did his smile came once again. Who knew a Viking could be that wise? And it definitely felt true, now that he would actually have people by his side.

As he read through the notes he realized that pretty manny of them seemed to actually be wise and come from heart. Another one catching his attention was from a 11 years old child of Berk, he think it was Fishlegs cousin or something in the line of that.

"When I grow up, I wanna be a hero just like you. I never really noticed you because Mommy and Daddy always made me stay inside during raids. I heard from people that you always made mistakes back then but, now, they're saying that you're the greatest hero Berk has ever known. I'm sorry about your left leg though. But your metal one's pretty cool! When I turn 13, I can't wait to learn how to fly with dragons like you and protect everyone I love. Thanks for saving Berk, Hiccup...and for inspiring me.

- Lyra"

Once again, was that word. Hero. He didn't exactly feel like a hero, he and Toothless just did what had to be done. And staying inside during raids, yeah he knew that one to well. But the thought of someone actually looking up to him, not looking down as he was so used to... He had no own words to express that. It just felt... good. Like he wasn't useless, and actually capable of doing things to benefit others.

He was suddenly cut from his thoughts at a loud banging at the door. He jumped harshly and that made Toothless head jerk and he shot up in confusion from his legs. Then Astrids voice ringed through the house.

"Hey, wake up already sleepy head, we're supposed to go flying you know!"

Toothless smiled widely and wiggled his tail, all recent tiredness forgotten at the word 'flying". Hiccup gave out a quiet laugh and gently rubbed Toothless behind his ears before shouting back. "Coming!"

After managing down the steps without to much trouble on the leg, he and Toothless stood outside where Astrid was waiting on top of Stormfly, with the rest of the gang shortly behind her.

"Hey," he greeted them before Astrid replied with a challenging smirk.

"Now ya ready to find out which dragon's the fastest?"

Smiling as if he could never stop it, he said "First to Raven Point and back then?"

And so, they were all airborne.

This is Berk.

It may be true that it's twelve days north of hopeless

And you can't deny that it's a few degrees south of freezing to death.

The Viking standard is being tough and most often feelingless

Ignoring and stubborn, even more so.

The only upside?

Maybe... that's all changing.

My village.

And for the first time, in only one word...

Home.

The end.

A/N: *cries* It's the end. It's up. The last chapter. *deep sob.*

But hey, I'll NOT stop writing, and for now "Alone in the blue" will be in focus. Why don't give it a shot, dearest readers?

Every story has an end...

But in life, every end is a new beginning.

And in Fanfiction; those limits doesn't even exist.

By for now,

Love ~MJ
