As the fire continued to eat away at the boat, slowly sinking into the ocean with Hiccup and Toothless on board, Astrid started thinking back to before they had first made peace with the dragons. She used to have to be the best at killing them, and nothing would have gotten in her way.
Then, Hiccup and Toothless had showed her a different side to them, a side that would change her life forever. Now, years later, as the chief's wife, Astrid, the villagers, her kids and grandchildren watched the boat sink into the ocean.
Suddenly, Astrid got the strangest feeling to turn around. When she did she saw, to her surprise, many dragons sitting along the hills of Berk, watching as the boat sank. Then, all the dragons bowed in honour and respect to the two that brought peace to Vikings and dragons after so many years of war. After a few minutes of silence, the dragons took flight and returned to the place where they lived for all those years, never to be seen again.
Astrid looked back towards the ocean, but the boat had fully sank and was no longer in sight. She smiled, and said to herself: “Until we meet again one day.”
