Hiccup, Rapunzel, and Valka soared over the ocean on their dragons, the entire flock of the dragons from Valka's dragon sanctuary occupying the air behind them.

Rapunzel glanced at them, and then looked back in front of her. Hiccup shrugged it off and look and see Valka was flying through the air.

"Hey, I-I thought we were going to eat!" Hiccup called to Valka. He sounded more confused than anything; confused and a tad bit embarrassed.

"Oh, we are!" Valka only chuckled as she assured her son.

Cloudjumper spun back around to face Toothless and Serenity, and the two dragons froze where they were in the air, their wings beating to keep them airborne.

For a moment, nothing.

And then, there was a gurgling and a bubbling sound coming from the water below them, and they looked down to watch in amazement as the Bewilderbeast rose out of it.

Water splashed in all directions, and they were glad to be high enough in the air to not get drenched. Then, the Alpha opened his mouth and blew fish into the air.

Thousands upon thousands of silver, shiny fish rained down around them, and their expression must have been pretty hilarious because Valka laughed. Serenity looked back at Rapunzel, and Rapunzel nodded at the dragon. Afterward, the Death Song shot through the sky, gobbling as many fish as possible.

Toothless dives towards the surface of the ocean, skim the water, and come back with a mouthful of fish so big, it was enough to feed three Night Furies.

"And from Dragon Island," Hiccup began, gesturing to the map he had unfolded on a snowy glacier they had landed on, "I found this archipelago..."

Hiccup looked up in confusion, as did Rapunzel, and they watched as Valka drew a replica of Hiccup's map in the snow ahead of them. But it was actually completed compared to Hiccup's.

Rapunzel couldn't help but grin. Now she knew where Hiccup's artistic talents came from. Of course, she could have guessed they didn't come from Stoick from their brief encounter, but it was cool seeing where they came from exactly.

"Wow," Rapunzel breathed before she could stop herself.

"There," Valka said as she stepped back. She ruffled Rapunzel's hair, and Rapunzel smiled at being accepted into their family.

Then, Toothless raced past them, a large icicle caught between his teeth. He dragged it through the snow, creating an odd spiral of lines and swirls. The dragon looked so pleased with himself that it was almost hilarious.

It went from almost hilarious to just plain hilarious when the Night Fury tried to let go of the icicle and it was stuck to his tongue as if glued there. Serenity rolled her eyes and just waddled away from the Fury, causing them to laugh more.

They were hovering in an updraft, smiling away as the wind blew their hair across their faces. Rapunzel watched as more dragons jumped off the sides of cliffs, spread their wings, and got caught in the updraft as well.

Valka then hopped off Cloudjumper's back and onto another dragon's. She continued jumping gracefully from one dragon to another, almost as if she were dancing. She walked across Scarlet's wingspan, ruffled Valka's hair, and then slid off the dragon's back.

Cloudjumper caught her, and she glided in between Rapunzel and Hiccup, breathing deeply. "Oh...when I'm up here, I don't even feel the cold, I just feel..."

"Free," Hiccup said.

Valka smiled at them, and they smiled back. His mother spread her hands out into the wind. "This is what it is to be a dragon!" she said as if she were telling them an amazing secret.

"It's amazing," Rapunzel said, almost giddily.

Hiccup smirked at both of them. "It's all well and good to call yourself a dragon," he said, yanking his leg forward so that Toothless' tail fin was locked, "but can you fly?"

On the last word, he leaped to his feet and ran, jumping off Toothless in one quick movement.

"Hiccup!" Valka gasped, as Rapunzel did the same, neither of them knowing what he was planning.

Before the two could have a full-blown panic attack, Hiccup spread the wings to his flight suit, the wind caught them, and then, he was flying, gliding smoothly across the sky with Toothless right behind him.

Valka gasped before smiling at Rapunzel, finally, their posture was relaxing, her once terrified expression was replaced with one of awe. Rapunzel laughed. "He's an idiot!" she said.

Valka smiled, as Cloudjumper, and Serenity pursued Hiccup...just around the same time a small mountain of snow appeared in front of him.

"Oh no," Hiccup groaned. "Oh no...Toothless!"

Toothless was quick to catch up. He must have been expecting something to go wrong, because he was able to wrap Hiccup in his wings and barrel through the mound of snow, hitting the ground.

Valka and Rapunzel landed their dragons around the same time Hiccup jumped out of a pile of snow, cheering. "Ha! Woo-hoo!" he exclaimed. "Man, almost!" he said, turning back to face the Night Fury. "We just about had it that time!"

Toothless sneezed and then glared back at his rider. He swung his tail at Hiccup's legs, tripping the man just as Hiccup finally regained his footing. Hiccup fell flat on his back in the snow, as they all ran towards him, laughing.

As soon as he was standing again, Valka half-examined Hiccup's flight suit, smiling in awe. "Oh, incredible."

"Well," Hiccup said, "You're not so bad yourself." He compliments his mother.

Valka moved her hand up to his cheek, and she hesitated just a moment before cupping his face in her hand. Hiccup leaned against her palm, letting out a small sigh in contentment.

"All this time, you took after me," Valka said, her smile only growing. Then, it faded as soon as it came. "And...where was I?" she murmured, sounding as though she were scolding herself. "I'm so sorry, Hiccup," she said, looking back up at her son. "Can we start over? Will you give me another chance?"

The look on his face said it all, and Rapunzel let a faint smile spread across her face.

"I can teach you, both of you, all that I've learned these past twenty years," Valka said as she stepped towards Toothless. "Like..."

Valka pressed two of her fingers against Toothless' neck and massaged it in slow circles. Hidden tailfins appeared across Toothless' back, splitting his fins in two and giving him twice the number he would usually have.

"Whoa," Hiccup breathed.

Toothless looked beyond happy, and he flapped his back fins excitedly. "Now you can make those tight turns."

Toothless, who seemed beyond thrilled by this discovery, cooed in excitement and bounded around Hiccup in circles before finally pressing his head against his rider's hand.

"Did you know about this?" Hiccup asked as Toothless flapped his new fins once again, his tongue hanging out of his mouth, his teeth sheathed.

Valka chuckled at this reaction and knew was much more to their dragons than they know. "Every dragon has its secrets," she said, taking a step towards him again, "and I'll show them all to you."

Toothless, still excited by their discovery, bounded around the snow and then burrowed beneath it. A lump of snow moved around, and Toothless popped back up right next to Cloudjumper, snow collecting on his head. The Stormcutter turned his head, dumping the snow right back onto Toothless. Toothless shook it off and showed off his new fins to Cloudjumper, who looked unimpressed and rolled his eyes at the smaller dragon.

Valka put one of her hands on Rapunzel's shoulder, her other hand on Hiccup's shoulder. "We'll unlock every mystery, find every last species, together! As mother and son! This gift we share...it bonds us." She looked directly into Hiccup's eyes. "This is who you are, son," she said. She smiled back at Rapunzel. "Who we are," she said. "We will change the world for all dragons! We will make it a better, safer place!"

Hiccup laughed excitedly. "Yeah!" he said. "That sounds...amazing!"

Valka closed the gap between them and hugged her son tightly. Hiccup hesitated just a moment, but then, he wrapped his arms back around his mother and buried his face against her shoulder.

Rapunzel and Pascal watched the interaction and have never seen Hiccup as happy as he was right now. It was nice to see one family member accept Hiccup for who he was.

Hiccup then broke off the moment and knew it was time maybe Valka came back with them. "Maybe this means you can come back with us!"

"Back?" Valka wonders. "Where?"

"Corona. With us!" Hiccup explained and gestured to Rapunzel. "Rapunzel is the princess there, and I have made peace between the people and dragons. You would fit right in!" He became excited at the thought of having mostly all of his family together. "And you could teach all of Corona about dragons!"

Valka was concerned about the thought, but then looked over to Rapunzel, who seemed perfectly okay with the idea, and saw she was open to his ideas.

"Well, you will have to lead the way tomorrow," Valka promised and gestured to the setting sun. "It's getting dark, and Drago's men are searching for us."

Hiccup looked out in the distance and knew she was probably right, living out here longer and knowing the dangerous times to move. Walking over to Toothless, Rapunzel got onto Serenity and they took off into the sky.
