I do like that idea. But it would be challenging to convey. We can't allow it to become one dimensional, we would need all characters to be developed individually, and together, while they share this journey.

We'll also have to explain why 5 kids which are currently banned to ever being together, going on a ship alone, at the age of 14. Being 14 and running away from home is also pretty unlikely.

I also read historical records of Hiccup's time, but I can just make them really vague, with any maps being destroyed over time.

If we leave Berk, some characters (like Majapi, Arkin, our parents) will all be left behind. It can't be us shipping out to an island and coming back the next day. We aren't flying dragons! We'd probably be taking weeks to get to the Edge (just beyond the Archipelago)!

I really like your idea, Red, still. A chance for the characters to relive HTTYD, and the amazing events throughout. My slightly different suggestion is that we can find our dragons, and we fly to these islands. We go on nighttime flights or a shortcut through THW which is shorter to reach RTTE islands. I would prefer either, like without dragons, but unless for maybe one trip, it would be impractical to happen.

I did say something like we should construct a journey for our characters to undergo to get to The Hidden World. So far, the most likely entrance to THW would be:

1. Find the entrance to the Whispering Death tunnels which is either on the beach, or through an underwater cave beneath the sea.

2. Go through the caves through a labyrynth of tunnels using Riley's incomplete maps. (They aren't actually Riley's maps. They were maps given to him by his mother, even though Riley didn't know what they were for.)

3. Find tunnels that aren't mapped out in 'Riley's Map', and journey deeper into the tunnels.

4. Return home in time for the curfew, sleep and go out tomorrow.

5. Repeat Steps 1, 2, 3 and 4, discovering new tunnels and cryptic clues.

6. We find stuff like Mildew's cave where there are heaps of Whispering Death eggs. We don't know what they are. We also find Whispering Death scales, which are similar to Cora's other scale. We don't know they are Dragon Scales though, but Cora has suspicions.

7. We face like these scary _________ in the cave. Maybe a pack of wild dogs, to allude to Cora's old section. Cora shows us her skill, we all do, to defeat the wild dogs which attack us. We find other dogs which are just scared, and Cora comforts them. (Cora = Pet Dog?)

8. We finally find a tunnel which went a LOT deeper down. We began going down it for a bit, but then realised it was too long. We did Step 4.

9. We plan a night to sneak out, and we go down the really deep cave. We follow it down and we discover this lush new, green world! It had long pillars, purplish rocks, and DRAGONS!

10. You win! You got to The Hidden World. Now collect your very own dragon.
