"You know you have to let it go, Hiccup." Astrid said softly as she stood next to Hiccup. "I know but….it's just hard to let it go." Hiccup said sadly. "Your dad didn't want you to mourn for to long since it affects all of us." Astrid stated. "'The chief doesn't only affect himself but also the whole village' is what your dad used to say." "I just can't seem to make myself let go of the past and move on." Hiccup said. "Hiccup, I can't stand seeing you suffering so much. It has been a month since….well….you know." Astrid said sadly.

He had no weapon or shield to hold or protect him. Well I guess this is how my life ends like all the Vikings before me, killed by a dragon. The Screaming Death was about to fire when Astrid rushed in and pushed out of the way just as flames engulfed Astrid. "NOOOOOOOO!
