Here's the epilogue! It was something I thought would be really cool with this story, seeing as how the last chapter's ending was ridiculously short.

"So remember, children," The elder said, concluding her story to the village's young children gathered around her, "The odds against you will never outweigh the spirit within you."

"That was a cool story!" Little Finna said beside her. The elder patted her head and nodded wisely. "Yes, a very good story indeed. Would you believe that I was around to witness the battle of the Queen of Dragons?"

"Woah!" Gunnar gasped. "Really? That must've been like...fifty years ago, at least! How cool was it? Were you in the army?"

The elder smiled and shook her head. "No, dear child, I was but a young girl, only fifteen. I was not allowed in the army."

The boy nodded sadly. The elder noticed his long face. "But," She added, "I was in the battle."

All the children looked at her with their wide eyes. "But if you weren't in the army," Rolf quipped from the back of the group, "Then what were you doing there?"

She gave them a knowing grin and tapped her nose. "Why do you think I would tell you that story, of all stories?"

Rolf put a hand to his chin. Finna's brow creased in concentration.

An older man walked out of the house she sat in front of. He was regally dressed and leaned on his knotted walking stick. Every other step he took gave off a metal clank.

"Oh, hello Chief!" Ingrid piped from beside the elder. "She was just telling us the story of Hiccup and Astrid!"

The two older persons smiled lovingly at their spouse, a habit they had gained from their long marriage. None of the people younger than fifty in the village remembered either of their names; they went by their titles. The Chief set a gentle hand on his wife's cloaked shoulder.

"So, why did you tell us that story?" Finna asked.

The elder smiled once more. "Do any of you know my name?"

All of the children shook their heads in confusion.

She chuckled kindly. "Well, children, my name is Astrid."

Thank you guys for all your wonderful feedback! I will be posting more, as I don't necessarily plan on stopping my writing rampage that could very well destroy a small city. Write on, my fellow Fans!
