Felix and Ingrid still couldn't believe that everything had happened to them. For the past twenty years, they believed their beloved daughter, Astrid Hofferson was dead. It was unbearable for the parents, as that the grief that had held them was over. 

In total reality, their daughter was actually alive with a creature they believe that it was their enemy for the past generations. 

A dragon. Although, with their utter disbelief, their daughter was headstrong, brave, and act so completely different than the young little girl they remember raising. 

As the couple sigh, they noticed the Dragon Riders had come back to their newly developed town. 

"Hiccup, what is the big surprise? Fishlegs told me that the area has completely changed. Is that true, or he is lying?"

The young heir laugh, "Fishlegs wouldn't lie. C'mon, you hid the fact you tamed a legendary dragon remember? A Night Fury! No one would believe it. " 

The young rider sighs, as the young heir covered her eyes and led her to the area. 

"You can open them, Astrid." He says, as that she was so shock. The area had indeed changed, as that it has a sign that she never seen before. 

" ' Berk Dragon Academy?' " Astrid asked, looking smug at her boyfriend. Hiccup shrugs at the name, as he said, "I figured if we learn more about Dragons, we need a place. So, the others and I rebuild the Arena and transformed it into an Academy."

"Quite a statement. Hiccup, it's a lot to adjust for me. I've been away for so long. The village is so complex than I ever expected." Astrid said, being worried.

"Astrid, it's going to be fine. You'll see." The couple turned around to see it was Felix and Ingrid walking towards them.

"Mom, Dad." Astrid said, as that it still felt weird for her to call her parents that way, dispited of being away and that making Hiccup to bear the consequences of keeping her identity as Valkyrie a secret for so long. 

As the couple looks at the young couple, The Night fury senses something wrong, as if he suspects something and was growing and protecting the group.

"Hey, what's with Toothless?" Hic asks, wondering why his friend was protecting them from. 

An arrow was launched as that Astrid said, "Duck!" 

Luckily, the arrow didn't hit the group, as Hiccup looked at the arrow that was shot. It was nothing the viking has seen before, but to Astrid, it felt completely familiar. She inspects it very close as that it revealed an unsettling aura. 

Toothless looked at her expressions as he said, "Black Dragon Hunters. They've been watching us." 

Her eyes were widen as that she remembers the enemy very well. Their leader was led by she thought was a friend. 

"What is it?" Hiccup asked. 

"Bad news. I'm so sorry, I think I need to go visit a dear ally of mine." She said, as she saddled up as that Hiccup wonders what made her go straight away.

It seems weird. Astrid must have a reason to go visit her friend. I think I need the gang." Hiccup thought. 

Hiccup explains the situation to the other riders as Snoutlout sighs, "Apparently, Valkyrie has some dangerous enemy that she dealt in the past before defeating the Red Death. I think we should help her. " 

"Going into a very dangerous situation without any plan is risky. " Fishlegs said, thinking out loud as Tuffnut said, "I say we go after her. We dealt with an opponent together. Having another adventure is cool." 

Hiccup sighs, "Well, it is a vote then. Let's go." 

They followed the rider's trail to the unknown. 

Meanwhile, as Astrid continues to flying with Toothless, the night fury felt a little bit guilt for not telling Hiccup anything about the Black Dragon Hunters. 

Astrid looks at her dragon, "Is something the matter, bud?"

"It's just that we should've told Hic about this. He'll properly understood the situation. He was the first viking to seen us and that helped us finding the Red Death in the first place. " 

"I get it, but you have seen how terrible the Black Dragon Hunters were. They're restless, and they target not just dragons, but they also kidnap children from their families and sold them as slaves. We can't let that happen. 

I hope that Heather and Windshear had some lead in Berserk Isle. We haven't contacted them since we returned to Berk. I hope that they're ok." 

"Heather is fine, and so is Windshear. Windshear can protect her, besides, you two are capable of anything, even involving with untamed dragons." The Night fury chuckled. 

Astrid smiled at how her dragon was reassuring her. "You're right. I guess I've been really cautious and overwhelmed lately. " 

In their sight, Heather was awaiting for their arrival as that the independent ladies hugged one other. 

"Valkyrie, it's been a long time. I thought that you have forgotten about me." Heather joked. 

"Me? How could I forget you? I just have some unfinished business. " She replied, as the black haired girl notices her friend's expressions. 

"You wouldn't be here, unless it's an emergency. Tell me what's on your mind. " 

"You wouldn't believe me if I tell you the truth." She replied, as Heather smirked at her, "Try me."
