It's been a few years since the battle with the Red Death, and since then life on Berk had been thriving. The inhabitants of the island were no longer worried of a dragon raid, but were now waiting with anticipation for the dragon racing to begin.

Hiccup was racing with his friends, happy and feeling like nothing could possibly ruin his mood. He clicks the tail fin, and Toothless banks sharply, swerving around Fishlegs and Meatlug as he slowly took the lead. As Night Furies were the fastest dragons and Hiccup was the best rider, they always started behind the others - but that didn't stop them from winning almost every time, much to Astrid's disappointment, though seeing him happy, it was hard to be mad at him..

As he and Toothless streaked through the air, passing the others and gradually taking the lead, Hiccup thought back to what had happened over the past few years. It had been two or three years since the fall of the Red Death at the hands of Hiccup and Toothless, and although it had happened slowly, dragons had found their niche in Berk's society - although admittedly there were a few houses that had to be rebuilt along the way.

As he thought back, he remembered the day that dragon racing was unofficially created when Snotlout and the twins got bored and decided to start racing each other. As the races continued, the other teens gradually started to join in, with Hiccup being the last to start racing. After a few accusations of cheating which no one could prove since there were no rules, they created rules for the races, and the sport of dragon racing was born.

Hiccup and the beast under him won the game... again. But the crowd cheered as they always did. It made the rider smile.

This, is Berk, he thought. The only place on earth where people and dragons coexist. People here call me a hero, I just did what I thought was best for my friend. No one could predict what happened next. This new world was created. It was beautiful. The dragons had help build Berk. We were farther in the world than any other tribe in the archipelago. Plus, the dragons are a great defense. Yep, dragons are truly a gift from the gods.
