Part 3/7:
The plot thickens when smoke signals their attention, drawing Hiccup and Astrid to investigate a troubling sight—a cluster of sharp ice spikes surrounded by shipwrecks. During their exploration, they confront men who are hunting dragons, led by Eric. A confrontation ensues, during which Hiccup defends Astrid's dragon, Stormfly, ultimately leading to their escape.
Back in Berk, Hiccup attempts to warn Stoic, his father, about the threat posed by Drago and his army. However, Stoic is hesitant to take action, instead focusing on preparations for impending conflict. They confine the dragons to secure the village, revealing the tension between Hiccup’s desire for peace and Stoic's instinct for protection.
