    Summary

    "Exile still seems the best option, Stoick..."

    Stoick should have known better. While he didn"t know much about his son-especially now-he knew the boy was clever. It should have been no surprise when a guard burst into the Council Meeting and revealed that Hiccup had escaped the cell Stoick put him in...hours after the boy was revealed to have saddled a dragon.

    Hiccup is gone, and so is the beast.

    They search, but do not find him. Berk falls asleep one night and awakens in the Great Hall, where the torches come to life and cast an image of their isle on the wall, from which floats Hiccup"s voice, years younger.

    AKA, Hiccup forfeited the final challenge, leaving Astrid with the right to kill the Nightmare. Story picks up in the Race to the Edge era, except Berk never learned the truth of dragons, no one knows how Hiccup really lost his leg, and stories of a hooded "vigilante" riding a Night Fury have been long whispered...and Berk will see it all unfold.

    Stoick the Vast and Berk watch How to Train Your Dragon...and beyond.

    Summary

    "It’s a tragedy,” the poet says with a glint in his eye. “So in one hundred years, it’ll age like fine wine into comedy, maybe.”
    “That’s not how tragedy works.” Zelda would know, because she is quite well-read on the subject of tragedy. “Stories are only called tragedies when the hero dies. You can’t turn one into a comedy. The hero won’t suddenly come alive after one hundred years dead.”
    “Ah, Your Highness,” The poet plucks a string on his harp. She hates the harp. The harp is now her least favorite instrument. “Is that really how it happens?”
    “What is your definition, then?”
    “Comedy,” he plucks another string, “is tragedy plus time.”

     

    In which:
    Zelda is stuck between a rock and a calamity, contemplates the nature of tragedy, and learns that even the Goddess cheats at cards.
