Hiccup cried in his sleep as Toothless and the other dragons flew away from Berk.

The Dragons were horrified at H- no, their Hatchling's treatment on Berk. By his own blood no less!

Toothless was silent, occasionally giving out orders calmly. But inside, he was seething. How dare they do do that to his Hatchling!?

'Toothless?' Stormfly softly rumbled. Toothless looked back at her with a blank look on his face. 'Yes?'

Stormfly anxiously flew faster. 'I can't shake off a bad feeling.... I feel like, we forgot something... or someone!'

Barf and Belch flew in, joining the conversation. 'Wait.... aren't we forgetting...' Barf started off, Belch interrupted, agreeing. 'Yeah.... Wait- SHARPSHOT!'

Everybody suddenly snapped their heads to the ZippleBack. Eyes widening, they imagined 'Sharpshot' cowering in the corner alone and confused.

'Fine...' Toothles growled. 'We'll go back for this Sharpshot.'

~~~~~~~

It was afternoon when they reached Berk once again.

Hiccup woke up with a start, but relaxed when he realized he was on Toothless' back. 'Toothless?' He asked softly.

The dragon grumbled, 'Apparently we forgot a dragon named Sharpshot back in Be- your island.'

Hiccup nodded, 'Then we have to go back!' His eyes burned with such determination, that the dull mood was immediately lifted.

'Are any of you tired?' Hiccup asked, worried.

Toothless grunted, 'Its nothing we can't handle, going to the Nest to Berk is way longer than this.'

Hiccup nodded, 'Okay, but promise me you'll rest soon.'

The other Dragons couldn't help but smile their dragon smile hearing that. Hiccup was so kind!

~~~~~~~~

A little green Terror shuddered in fear when a meaty hand roughly grabbed him from behind.

A man with red hair and beard threw the poor Terror in a cage and locked it. The Terror couldn't help but watch the man rub his eyes tiredly.

"I don't know anymore." The man said to the Terror.

"I've lost my wife, my son.... to dragons!" The Man laughed humorlessly. "To a Vikings sworn enemy!"

The Terror curiously watched as the man lifted his hand to wipe away a lone tear that made its way down his cheek.

"I don't even know why I'm talking to you! Your supposed to be a mindless beast!"

The Terror squawked, clearly offended, 'Excuse me?! Well, I'm sorry-'

The man interrupted the Terror with wide eyes. "My son might be right." He said at last. "So many signs have been shown. My son tamed a Night Fury! And he almost tamed a Monstrous Nightmare too! If... if it weren't for my interruption..."

The man stopped again. He gaped, utterly shocked.

The Terror had used its claw to open the cage's lock. But instead of flying away, the Terror had made its way to the Man and placed his paw on the man's knee.

The Terror looked in the Man's eye and warbled as if to say, 'Your not alone.'

The Man reached his hand out to try and pet the Terror when-

"STOICK!"

The Man, Stoick, retracted his hand in a flash and whipped his head around to glare at the interruption.

Gobber stood there scratching his chin awkwardly. "Am I interrupting you're bonding?"

Stoick glared at Gobber then sighed. "Hiccup was right, Gobber. Dragons aren't merciless killers."

Gobber looked at the Terror, who had brightened visibly at Stoick's statement.

"Even so, How are yer gonna tell the others?" Gobber asked, getting closer to the Terror to inspect it.

Stoick sighed irritably. "How am I supposed to know!?"

The Terror, who had been sniffling Gobber's outstretched hand suddenly stood up and howled excitedly.

Stoick jumped.

The window burst open and there was Hiccup. He scooped up the Terror in his arms and was about to leave when Stoick had grabbed his arm to stop him.

"Hiccup-"

Stoick stopped when he saw Hiccup's fearful gaze. He blanched.

"I'm sorry Hiccup. You were right about Dragons."

Hiccup froze. He freed his arm and looked at Toothless who was sporting a loose jaw. "Uhhh.... Bud, are we dreaming or are we dead?"

Toothless whacked his face with his tail. 'Nope, this is real.'

With wide eyes, Hiccup turned to Stoick.

"Please." Stoick pleaded. "Give us one more chance, son. I'm sorry. Give me one more chance."

Hiccup stood there frozen and stared into Stoick's eyes. Then suddenly, Hiccup gave him a small, barely noticeable smile.

"Ok. Dad."
