The dragons in the How to Train Your Dragon series were ultimately led to the mythical Hidden World, a secret sanctuary beneath the ocean, ensuring their long-term safety and survival away from human interference. This profound decision marked a new era for both humans and dragons, allowing them to thrive independently.
The Great Departure to the Hidden World
After years of coexisting and forming unbreakable bonds with humans on Berk, the dragons faced a looming threat that jeopardized their very existence. To protect them from those who sought to exploit or harm them, Hiccup, as the chieftain of Berk, made the incredibly difficult but necessary decision to guide all the dragons to the legendary Hidden World. This was a place where dragons could live freely and safely, untouched by the dangers of the human world.
Key aspects of their journey to the Hidden World included:
- A Collective Decision: The Berkians, understanding the gravity of the situation, collectively agreed to release their beloved dragon companions.
- Toothless's Leadership: As the Alpha dragon, Toothless played a pivotal role in leading the entire dragon population towards this concealed haven.
- The Light Fury's Guidance: The enigmatic Light Fury was instrumental in guiding the dragons, with Toothless by her side, into the vast, glowing expanse of the Hidden World.
- An Emotional Farewell: Hiccup shared a poignant, final farewell with Toothless, symbolizing the end of an era of close human-dragon partnership and the beginning of their separate paths.
Life After Dragons for the Berkians
With their dragon companions now safe in the Hidden World, the Berkians embarked on a new chapter. Three months after the dragons' departure, Hiccup and Astrid solidified their leadership by marrying and becoming the chieftains of a new settlement known as New Berk. This community adapted to life without dragons, focusing on their own growth and maintaining the peace that had been so hard-won. The legacy of human-dragon friendship, however, continued to live on in their memories and stories.
