Astrid's POV (3 years after Hiccup disappeared)

Gobber had told Snotlout, the twins, Fishlegs and I that we were going on a fishing trip to some island a little bit from Berk to stock up on fish for Berk. Us teens had immediately agreed and I had immediately started packing anything necessary for the trip. 

It's been 3 years since Hiccup disappeared, nobody has been the same, I miss the fishbone of a viking yet I couldn't bring him back. He was in Valhalla and I couldn't change that. I was brought out of my thoughts as Fishlegs arrived at the dock, I sighed admiring my axe before looking up and seeing Fishlegs already engrossed into one of his books. I sighed one more time before looking out at the ocean. It was about 20 minutes later before the twins showed up and another 10 for Snotlout to show up last. We all waited impatiently for Gobber to arrive. 

We all waited 5 more minutes until Gobber arrived he smiled at us showing his rock tooth before climbing onto the boat. "C'mon lass' and lads tim' to go." He walked up to the top of the boat and everyone sat down on the sides of the boat getting in position to row. we rowed for about 2 hours before we stopped since the sun was slowly going down, Gobber sighed before looking to our left and noticed a island about an hour's way from us. "C'mon! Row over to that island, we'll continue in the morning." Gobber yelled still observing the island. Snotlout, the twins, Fishlegs and I sighed heavily before starting to row towards the island while Gobber steered the boat in that direction. about 45 minutes later we made it to the island and we all got off after docking near the shore. 

We walked about 10 steps before hearing a loud whistling in the sky, we all looked up in time to see a dragon the colour of the night sky diving towards our ship! We all gasped as the dragon blasted the ship, creating a hole in the bottom of it, making it slowly sink into the water. "Night Fury! Get down!!" Gobber yelled pushing under my neck to make me bend down. Suddenly we heard a dragon landing on the sand next to us, I looked up in fear and saw a Night Fury staring at us with what looked.... hatred? 

Hiccup's POV (Same day as Astrid's)

"Hiccup! Hiccup!" Yelled Spinearrow, my head wiped up and I saw the worry in her eyes I immediately dropped what I was doing and ran up to her, gently checking her over, she growled lightly before stepping away from me. "No Hiccup! It's not me, vikings have sailed here and are at the beach!" She squawked, my eyes widened before I looked over at Toothless, he looked worried. I nodded my head in thanks to Spinearrow before jumping onto Toothless' back and quickly grabbing my helmet  and he zoomed out of the cave's entrance. I flew towards the beach and saw 6 silhouettes walking off a boat and onto the island. "C'mon bud. Let's stop them." I said in Dragonease, before Toothless' dived the wind wiping violently at my body and stinging my eyes just slightly, the speed Toothless was going made a loud whistling sound which made me smirk when the 6 people looked up alarmed. 

Toothless quickly plasma blasted at their boat and the force of the shot made the boat slowly sink, I quickly guided Toothless down to the ground and we landed in front of the 6 strangers, them slowly looking up from their crouched position. I placed my hand on Toothless' head singling not to shoot and leaning forward gently. I suddenly noticed the 6 people were not strangers at all.... They were people from Berk. from my past...

Astrid's POV

I cautiously looked stood up the gang and Gobber following. I stared confusedly at the boy who was about my age perched on the beasts back, he had his hand on it's head and was leaning forward, we couldn't see his face since it was obscured by a helmet, he wore a little bit of armour (like what he wears in Race to the edge) which must of protected him, but on top of that he wore a dragon scale cloak with a hood. 

The boy suddenly growled, everyone including me jumped back in surprise, that noise was not human.... it sounded almost like he was a dragon. "Who are you?" I asked, speaking up for the group. He growled softly before saying, "Like I just asked.... what are you... d-doing on...my.... island?" he said, his voice rang some bells but I couldn't place it. I frowned, "You didn't say anything, you just growled." Snotlout said in a 'duh' tone. realisation dawned on the mans face before he nodded. "Well? Are you not going to answer my question?" I asked already becoming annoyed, I was eyeing the dragon the man was perched on and my grip on my axe tightened. "You know, Astrid.... I wouldn't let.... your... anger... uh... blind you." he said almost sounding bored, he was staring at the beasts head. I frowned and loosened my grip on my axe and the beast growled, the boy growled back and made a gurgling sound. Fishlegs gasped suddenly before blurting out, "You're speaking to him?!" he covered his mouth almost immediately, the boys head snapped in Fishlegs direction and Fishlegs seemed to be so afraid he could wet himself. 

"Yes... Fishlegs. I-I can... speak to Toothless." He said gently rubbing the beasts head, it purred loudly and everyone stood in shock. "Now! Can you answer my question!?" I answered angrily, before I knew it I threw my axe in his direction, he laid down on his dragons neck and head and my axe missed by a long shot. Everyone stood in shock including me. I hardly ever missed my target and when I did I was so angry I nearly went out of control. He slid off the dragons back and looked at the tree behind him and noticed my axe was imbedded into the bark of the tree. 

He walked over and tugged it out almost effortlessly, for what felt like the 10000th time that night everyone was gobslmaked. "How did you do that!" Yelled Tuffnut, "Hardly anyone can get Astrid's axe out of her target except for-" Continued Ruffnut, "Her, Stoick and Gobber!" They yelled at the same time. "And even then, they have some difficulties." Fishlegs added, I glared at him angrily. He was tossing the axe in the air then stopped and looked at it thoughtfully. Everyone was silent, "Can I have my axe back?" I asked before taking a couple steps towards him, the beast suddenly growled loudly and wrapped his tail around the boy in a protective manner. 

I stopped dead in my tracks and glared at the beast before looking back up at the boy. "I could... give... you another... a-axe if you... would... like?" he asked he didn't seem hesitant so I was confused why he was stuttering... "What type of axe?" I asked looking at him expectantly, he looked at me and walked forward and unclipped something from the beasts saddle, and held up an axe that looked kind of like mine, the head was a little smaller and the handle looked more durable. He held it out to me and I gently took it from him. It felt to light for it to be good for it to be good in combat. "It feels to light to be good in combat." I said repeating my thoughts out loud and held the axe back out for him. He laughed a little before looking at the axe. "It's light.... because it's.... m-made out of Gronkle iron.... The iron is... extremely light a-and it's much s-s-stronger than any type of.... metal you would use... to make an... av-average type of axe." He said, he sounded.... proud?
