Hiccup and Toothless both escape Berk after he is outed as a "traitor". With nowhere to go, they fly endlessly until they suddenly crash land in the outskirts of an isolated town in a completely different country. There he learns two important things: magic is real, and maybe he had finally found a home.

Tropes that apply to the series in general
- Actionized Adaptation: While How to Train Your Dragon had its fair share of high stakes and fight-scenes, Encanto has No Antagonist (or at least no Card-Carrying Villains posing a physical threat) and is more of a Slice of Life drama with fantastical elements, so the Madrigals using their magical gifts with combat-applications or riding dragons into battle would certainly qualify as this. See Pacified Adaptation below for more.
- Anachronism Stew: The events of Encanto are left ambiguous, but it's best guessed as happening somewhere between the late 1800's and The '50s. How to Train Your Dragon however is happening in the Viking Age (793–1066 CE), so the odds of these two plots sharing a parallel time-table is slim to none. This is implied to be because of a space-time anomaly that takes the form of a golden storm-cloud, itself a product of the Madrigal Miracle that Hiccup, Mirabel and their children are able to activate.
- Athens and Sparta: The Encanto and Berk respectively. Both are isolated societies that, through the space-time anomaly that let Hiccup and Toothless to the former, are now cultural allies to one another. While the Encanto is set in the heart of a tropical jungle, Berk is on a frigid island. While the Encanto is a culture built around peace in isolation, Berk is an island of warriors accustomed to danger and has coped with it through allyship with other islands in similar strife. Both are cultures with a love of celebration, but while the Encanto is musical and benign, Berk has a "hint of mania" that makes it fun, but also rather violent.
- Crossover Couple: Hiccup and Mirabel are the main couple of the series.
- Pacified Adaptation: While the Saga has its fair-share of action scenes (The Vikings vs The Madrigals, the Dragon Raids on Berk, the Screaming Death in the Encanto, etc), many of the more action-packed elements that carry over from the How to Train Your Dragon franchise are downplayed in favor of Slice of Life elements from Encanto. This gets downplayed in Whiteout, with the likes of Drago Bludvist making things much more intense.
