I pull the sword down. I know they'll come, but... I have to end them first. I let out a breath. I know what I have to do. I pull my bag up. I have to kill him first. I thought... I thought I could come home but I can't. I can't go home. I am never home. I grip my chest. No matter what I'll protect it however.

"You know what you have to do then." She hops onto my shoulder.

"Yes. Yes, I do." I say.

I have to leave. I thought... I really tried to make it home alive. But... I'm different. Hiccup is no longer alive. I'm somebody else now. I'm different. I pull up the note I've written. No one else has to suffer like I did.

"I'm going to challenge the chief again." I say.

Face to face. I'm ready now. I'm more powerful than I ever was. I have what it takes to win. I have what it takes to destroy his entire army. I have to. I have to kill them all. I look down. I'm sorry, everyone.

"You're leaving, aren't you?" Astrid comes in.

I jump.

"Yes. I have to end this once and for all. I'm not... you're not safe while I'm here. While I'm alive." I say.

"But-  but-" Astrid says.

I lift her face up.

"I can't stay here. You know that. Hiccup is... I'm not who you want me to be." I say.

I turn from her.

"Goodbye Astrid. I doubt we'll meet again. I'll never forget you but..." I turn.

She looks at me with tears in her eyes.

"You should forget me. For your sake. For Berk's sake." I say.
