It was getting dark when Hiccup and Toothless got back to the village.

It was so late because Hiccup was having a debate on if he should come clean and tell everyone who he was.

When he got there, a loud array of cheers were heard, from humans and dragons, and he was grabbed by the shoulders and 'guided' to a mini stage where Stoick and the other Chiefs were waiting.

"Speech! Speech!" everyone cheered.

Nervous, Hiccup looked to Mari, who conveniently was next to Gobber, who smiled and nodded.

Sighing, Hiccup stood tall and began his speech.

"When I was a kid, I was not the tough, strong, good with dragons, rebel you see today," he began looking at his former people "Instead, I was the runt of my village, the one who always got blamed when something went wrong. The one who always somehow made it so the dragons got away with the food my people were trying to keep away from them. The one who go picked on by those who were meant to be my friends and family..." he paused here to look at Snotlout, Fishlegs, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, and Astrid.

"I was not special, I was not strong, sometimes I felt like I didn't belong in my village, so... one day I packed up all my things and left.

'I was sailing for most of the day until I came to the island I now call home, and found my dragon family, who raised me to be... this," he said gesturing to all of himself.

"Over the years, I found that the more I got to know dragons, the harder it was to kill them. I was too young to kill them when I got there, but even if i wasn't I doubt I would have done.

"I may be the one you call 'The Dragon Lord' Night Ryder now." he said looking to everyone while petting Toothless for confidence "But that isn't my real name..."

A loud gasp and mass of whispers came from everyone at this news.

"In fact, this island, Berk. Was where I originally came from," another loud gasp and more even louder whispers "And my real name is... Hiccup Horridness Haddock the Third!"

Suddenly there was silence, everyone was just staring at him, blinking in confusion and non-believable faces.

"Hic... Hiccup?" Stoick asked stunned, coming over.

"Hey Dad..." Hiccup said smiling.

And in that moment, everyone knew that this boy, with his brown hair, green eyes, scar on his chin and that smile, that this was indeed Hiccup.

Quickly Stoick had Hiccup in a strong bear hug the sound of bones cracking could be heard all around the square.

"Ugh, Dad, I can't breathe..." Hiccup said getting laughs and chuckles from the crowd.

"Wait! Does this mean I'm not Heir anymore?!" Snotlout called out getting looks from everyone for breaking up this scene.

"No." Hiccup said, speaking up after Stoick let him go. "Because no matter how much you want me to stay, Dad, Gobber, People of Berk, I am needed back on the Island I have been calling home for the last 14 years. But I will come back to visit."

"We understand Hiccup," Stoick said to everyone's surprise. "A Chief always puts his people first." he said reciting one of the Chiefing lessons his father taught him.

In the crowd Tuff leaned to his sister and whispered "But they're not people, their dragons..."

Everyone who heard him rolled their eyes.

"We'll stay for a few days so the dragons can have time to choose if they want to come with me and Toothless and I can get used to this..." his said looking at his fake leg.

After a bit more chatter and cheers, Hiccup got off the stage and was hug-tackled by Mari.

"I knew you would do it," she said kissing him not minding that everyone was watching.

"Well," he said when they broke apart "I couldn't really stay under my mask forever could I, and when better to tell everyone on Berk who I was than now, when I'm here?"

At his side Toothless just rolled his eyes and used his tail to shove Hiccup and Mari together, Snowdrop shooting a blast into the sky to make it snow around them.

Laughing and blushing a little Hiccup and Mari just stand there in each other's arm, lost in each other's eyes.

'Well don't just stand there...' a certain black dragon said 'Kiss her...'

But before he could make a comeback on why not to do it, Mari had giggled and kissed him instead to cheers from both parties.


After a few days, to give the dragons a chance to see if they wanted to live here or not, and rest, Hiccup said it was time to go.

"You sure you want to come?" he asked Mari who was on Snowdrop net to him on top of Toothless "Our life's kinda dangerous you know."

"I know," Mari said in her red and black flight suit which Hiccup had made for her "But it's that that makes it fun right?"

With that and one last good bye, all those leaving took flight and headed to that little island off the cost of no-where where a decade and a half ago a self outcasted little Viking landed, was invited into a dragon family and called it home.
