N O - O N E S - P O V

You know that feeling when everything just seems dull. You just wanna do nothing but cry in the rain pouring outside.

That's how Noor felt. She didn't want to go back to the village and celebrate. Celebrating was nothing she wanted to do right now. So she decided to walk into the trees to possibly see Nightflare before he took his last breath.

"I'm coming with you" Hiccup tells her, just as she just told him to go on and celebrate with the village.

"Hiccup you don't have to-"

"Noor times like this you can't be alone" He intertwines their hands together and smiles at her. She musters the best smile she could and nods. Before they went off, Hiccup made sure Toothless went to the village.

They walked in silence. Seeing her like this made his heartache and all he wanted to do was hold her till she was okay.

As they walked farther and closer to where Nightflare fell down. Precious was walking close ahead of them. She had her head low and walked with a limp. They tried making her go with Toothless to get patched up but she profusely refused and came with them.

"I feel so bad for her- she lost her babies that were going to just hatch in a couple days" Noor mutters and he nods, squeezing her hand softly knowing the pain she must be feeling too.

"A mother should never be separated from their eggs or else she'll go into a deep depression.... Was she and Nightflare close?" Noor nodded, feeling tears about to erupt through her eyes again.

"He was the only one she'd let near the eggs... And he'd always hang out with her for most of the days and stay in her hut when she'd get a small check ups..."

"Do you ever question the fact he might be the father of her eggs?" She lets out a dry heartfelt laugh, it makes his heart glow seeing her smile a bit.

"I wouldn't be surprised if I'm being honest, before we rescued her and her eggs, he'd disappear at random times, then coming back at night and when she came they acted like they've known each other for awhile-" A loud dragon roar was heard.

"That was Precious" They looked at each other alarmingly as they heard Precious's roar ahead of them.

They immediately sprinted, edging closer to where Nightflare fell. Once they approached Precious, she sat in a damaged clearing. Trees demolished and snapped in half.

Precious was looking around aimlessly, climbing up a tree to get a higher view.

"Where's Flare?" Noor asks.

"This is where he was..." Hiccup's voice trailed off, letting go of Noor's hand. He eyes something red on the ground and crouches down on his knee.

"Hiccup?"

He picked up a tree branch and inspected the red blood on it. Precious must have sniffed it out and came close to him, sniffing the tree branch hard.

Her head shoots up, her pupils dilating. "Precious... Where is he, girl?"

She dashed off through the large trees, accidentally hitting her tail on the two making them fall to the ground on their butts.

"Precious!" She was already too far to hear and there was no way of her stopping at this point. With a sigh they let her search for him, hoping he's still alive.

"I found his scale" She lifted her hand to show Hiccup the black and white speckled dragon scale.

With a shaky breath, Hiccup looked up at the sky and back to her. He stared at her icy blue eyes, as she stared at him with hope into his forest green eyes.

He noticed. Everytime she would cry- her eyes would turn blue. Like her tears made her grey sparkle into a blue iceberg.

He closed his eyes softly and rested his forehead on hers, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"What are we?" He asks in a whisper and she shrugs, closing her eyes. Hoping he could soothe down his and hers heart rate from thumping even harder.

"You tell me"

He chuckled but then they both grew silent, not knowing what else to say. Just enjoying each other's presence, and questioning the feelings they'd always have around each other.

"Can I tell you something?" She asks him, making him nod. With a breath she speaks again.

"People fall in love without reason, without even necessarily wanting to. You can't predict it. That's love" She pulls away, and they look at each other. The corner of her lips lifts and she bites the inside of her cheek. He looks at her with adoration, as they both know exactly how they feel in the moment now.

As cliche as it is for it to happen, it starts to rain. Making them both laugh, as they both didn't bother to move and hide from the rain. They stood close to each other, looking at each other with smiles. Her eyes meet his under the rain, drenching both of them.

"I've discovered I love you" She says suddenly and his eyes wide with his smile growing.

"When did you discover this?"

"Since all my decisions started to revolve around you"

Hiccup's eyes glowed and then stared at Noor incredulously because Noor Indigo Lennox just confessed her feelings to him.

That was it for Hiccup. He was gone.

Done.

Out of his mind.

All worries and plans were lost and forgotten.

He pulled her against him, cupping her face in his hands. Then, capturing Noor's lips in a bruising kiss.

"Finally" Noor breathed out, snaking her hands around his neck and stepping on her tippy toes to get closer to him.

It made her happy, it made her feel like she was in a euphoric perfect new world with just the two of them. The relief of having two things off her shoulder, made her smile into the kiss.

It gave her hope that- Nightflare was out there and still alive, she just knew it.

Hiccup Haddock finally had his lips on hers after 10 bloody years. At first she was afraid of confessing due to the fact it's been 10 years. But after him telling her he liked her only the other day, it reassured her.

But then the letter came and turned her plans to tell him. It really scared her.

But she knew ever since they were kids she loved him. No matter what she loved him in every shape and form. And it killed both of them when they separated.

When he confessed to her, he didn't plan it. He just said it and it didn't go bad. But it worried him when she didn't say it back... but now his arms around her and his lips on hers- he couldn't ask for anything more than to never leave this moment.

But the main reason she decided to tell him now. It was because she didn't know how this war would end.

Some might think this was the war. Little did they know, this was just the second warning.

The first one is getting her weak. But that didn't end well since they got back fast enough for her to recover from the lavender reaction.

Then the second one being the attack and taking Precious's eggs.

She knew the next attack was gonna be big and she didn't know what it was going to be. But she sure knew it was gonna end with her.

Dead or Alive.

And not knowing how long this war will take.

She had to tell Hiccup as soon as possible, how she felt about him.

Before it was too late. Just for the both of their sake.

"Harbeer?" Everyone cheered around the older couple. Dakota looked at her husband in worry as he held the letter in his fist.

"He's coming for her" It killed him to think about it because he knew it was true. Ever since Noor was born, Grimmel knew who she was gonna become.

A born leader.

Queen of dragons.

Chief of Eunoia.

It was the one thing he knew, if he took her away- make her follow his orders, on his side. He'd be unstoppable.

She was the most skilled fighter, anybody has ever known.

Dragons knew her to be powerful- even Vikings after one slick movement.

She's strong and all of the above when it comes to being a powerful fighter. It was true. Harbeer and Dakota were proud of their children.

As children Harbeer and Grimmel never got along. Grimmel was always the 'outcast' in the family. Especially when he killed a nightfury in it's sleep when he was 15. When it happened, his father appalled him while their mother didn't.

The whole village appalled him as a hero and he left to set sail. From then on, he'd hunt and kill every dragon in existence. And once he left to seek that, they never saw him again especially knowing their father died and Harbeer moved back to Eunoia with his family...

Since Grimmel disappeared and never came back, resulting Harbeer to become Chief of Eunoia. But only for a little bit- confusing the whole village and Noor when he 'retired' from it- only being in his early 40s- then letting his daughter take the role from him.

The whole Lennox generational family grew up to all have grey white hair, pale skin and light eyes. The white hair was only a reminder to Freya, Harbeer and Hilda. Harbeer was thankful for his second to have more blonde hair and third with light brown hair.

He wanted to forget everything about the dark part of his life, never wanting to tell his kids about it.

But having one of his kids look exactly like them, makes it harder. Especially now when the terrible- and the oh so great Grimmel the Grisly is now coming after her.

After he was presumed dead.

He's coming.

And he's coming for what's genetically his.
