Soul Bound 👻
Years after the demise of Berk’s rightful heir, Astrid Hofferson undergoes a ceremonial ritual to inherit the role. In doing so, she assumes a birthright that is not her own in the eyes of the gods.
On top of this new responsibility, she’s unable to shake the uncanny feeling of being watched: a fear proven justified when she finds the mysterious Dragon Master lurking in the woods outside Berk.
It soon becomes clear that things may not be what they appear, and the stranger her village fears may prove to be a ghost from her past in more than one way.

———————————————–
Alrighty then!
Got the black and white fill done! And I’m also planning on adding some subtle colours, but I wont be able to work on it more than this until AFTER Christmas dinner. And I liked it a lot just like this so I wanted to save this version as well.
So.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY WONDERFUL FOLLOWERS AND EVERYONE ELSE. YOU’RE ALL SUCH LOVELY PEOPLE AND I HOPE YOU GET EVERYTHING YOU’VE WISHED FOR! <3
“...he was happy, was he not?”
There was a desperate hope in those words – a plea of sorts – and it made Astrid’s heart ache.
It was a complicated question. Hiccup had only truly started to thrive – to really live – once he’d left Berk behind. The dreams had shown her the beauty of his adventures – the places he’d gone, the discoveries he’d made.
It wasn’t all positive, though. Astrid had seen the signs of self-isolation and paranoia – the way that he didn’t lean on his friends, even when they wanted to help. She’d seen the way Hiccup threw himself into the raids, risking his life tirelessly to save people and dragons across the archipelago – only to be vilified.
“I like to think he was,” she settled on. It was true enough; she wanted to believe that the good outweighed the bad, but who was she to measure the scales of another’s life?
