Chapter 26
Epilogue
After that joyous flight throughout the reformed village of Berk, the Misfit Trio were in the new stable beside their house.
"I could definitely get used to this." Hiccup said as he stroked Toothless' head.
"New leg and all?" Ragnar asked teasingly, rubbing Fossil's jaw.
"New leg and all." Hiccup replied.
Cosette then stood from her spot where she was leaning back against Violet. "Well, Hiccup's "Hero's Welcome" feast will starting soon. We should get going."
"You guys should be considered heroes with me." Hiccup said, balancing himself as he got up. "After all, you helped me."
"Yeah, but you needed this kind of recognition more than we did." Ragnar replied, making Fossil drowsy with his magic touch.
"You two have earned your recognition." Cosette said, looking through a paper in her hand, leaving her sleeping Grapple Grounder. "I haven't yet."
"What do you have there?" Hiccup asked, taking the paper gently.
"Just a little something I wrote in honor of your Hero's Welcome." said Cosette.
Hiccup read the piece, a smile threatening to split his face in two. "Cosette, this is an awesome song! Check it out, Rag!"
Ragnar quickly read the song and grinned as well. "Yeah! This is amazing, Valkyrie!" He said, making Cosette blush bright pink.
"You have to sing this at the feast tonight!" Hiccup exclaimed.
"WHAT?!" Cosette panicked, her blush vanishing in an instant. Her cry made the drowsy dragons perk up immediately.
"And we'll help you." Ragnar added in.
"Guys, I can't." said Cosette.
"Why not?" asked Ragnar. "It's a celebration! Of course there will be music."
Cosette was about to say something, but Hiccup cut in. "We already got our recognition. It's your turn now."
Cosette looked over at Ragnar, who nodded. She turned to their dragons, who had gave her purrs of encouragement. She then gave them all a determined smile. "Okay." She said.
The boys beamed at her and shared a fist-bump with her.
Later that night, everyone was gathered in the Great Hall for the feast. For the first time in years, the Misfit Trio sat with Stoick instead of themselves.
Cosette was fidgeting with her satchel, and the gentle pats from her best friends were the only things that could calm her down a bit.
After food was on everyone's plates, Hiccup whispered something into his father's ear. He nodded, and Hiccup led Cosette and Ragnar over to the podium.
Cosette handed Hiccup his lute and Ragnar two carved sticks after he pulled three barrels in a curve in the center of the podium.
Flashback
"There's just one problem with this song." Cosette said after they shared their fist-bump.
"What's that?" Ragnar asked.
"There needs to be a rhythm, a rhythm that lutes can't exactly provide."
As they thought about how to solve this, Ragnar began tapping his fingers against the wood post near him.
"Hey, I got an idea!" He said. He grabbed two sticks and showed his friends by tapping out a beat with his sticks. A few moments later, the Misfit Trio was all moving in sync with the rhythm.
"That's perfect!" Cosette cried out happily.
Hiccup took the sticks from Ragnar. "I think these need to be in style." He said with a smile, twirling one with his fingers.
End of Flashback
Everyone stared at the Misfit Trio as they positioned themselves onto the podium.
Cosette went to the front of it, holding her lute tight to her chest. "Well, this is something I wrote in honor of this momentous occasion. This is the first time my friends and I have performed in front of anyone, so please be nice." She said bravely.
Ragnar tapped his sticks together, now carved beautifully and his name carved and painted into them, and began drumming out the beat. Hiccup and Cosette then joined in with their lutes.
Hiccup: I used to think that stories were just that.
Set in stone, concrete as a fact.
It didn't dawn on me
That I could change history.
Everyone was surprised that the young heir could sing so wonderfully, and they were also stunned by the other two's voices.
Cosette: Now I know I'm writing my own song.
Fight my way to the ending that I want.
Ragnar: I'll turn a tragedy
Into an epic fantasy!
By now, everyone was starting to move in tune with the song, making the Misfit Trio smile.
All: Hey! Hey! Hey!
You can be a hero (hero) too.
Oh!
Take my hand, I'm here for you!
Come away with me.
Be the legend you are meant to be.
You'll always be
Ever free!
Oh-ooh-wa! Oh-oh-ooh-wa! Oh-oh-ooh-wa!
To be the legend you are meant to be!
Oh-ooh-wa! Oh-oh-ooh-wa! Oh-oh-ooh-wa!
To be the legend you are meant to be!
Hiccup: There was a time when fear would hold me down
'Cause I let it chain me to the ground.
Look at me now, I'm soaring high!
It's never boring in the sky.
Ragnar: When I know I've got friends on my side,
Whatever trials, I'll take them all in stride.
Cosette: Together, we will shine so bright.
A radiant brilliance in the night!
All: Hey! Hey! Hey!
You can be a hero (hero) too.
Oh!
Take my hand, I'm here for you!
Come away with me.
Be the legend you are meant to be.
You'll always be
Ever free!
Oh-ooh-wa! Oh-oh-ooh-wa! Oh-oh-ooh-wa!
To be the legend you are meant to be!
Oh-ooh-wa! Oh-oh-ooh-wa! Oh-oh-ooh-wa!
To be the legend you are meant to be!
When the song ended, everyone began cheering and clapping loudly for them. The Trio couldn't stop beaming with pride at the sight in front of them.
"Looks like we have an official band for celebrations from now on!" Gobber complimented with a proud grin at his students.
The Misfit Trio just smiled brightly at each other, wrapping each others' arms around their shoulders. Things were really turning around for all of them.
A/N: And that's the end of My Version of HTTYD! I hope you guys enjoyed the story! I worked really hard on it for a while. Now, My Version of Gift of the Night Fury is coming up next! The first chapter should be out soon, the best case being early next week.
The song I used is called "Legend You are Meant to Be" from Equestria Girls: Legend of Everfree. Don't ask any questions. I just recently watched the movie on Netflix, I found the song, I liked it, and I thought it could work in this. So, no rude comments about my song choice. And I don't own this song, either.
But, I would like to hear you guys leave some reviews. Don't forget the poll on my profile. That is a question that is really important to me, so please check it out!
Well, I'll see you guys really soon!
Got to fly! ;)
