He'd gone from being cheered as the new Chief to being in Madison Valley again, right in the center of town. He had on his armor still, the soot on his forehead symbolizing his anointing a little drier, a little more itchy. It took him a few minutes of standing there, frozen in the middle town, as the memories of the time he'd spent here flooded back into his mind. He staggered back from the weight of it all, but the biggest most terrifying thing was that he hadn't remembered Madison at all. He'd gone back home, like nothing had ever happened, and he had a lot of feelings about that and about everything else that had happened.
He needed his dragon first and foremost and he took off running towards the woods. Hiccup had no idea how long he'd been gone for, but he hoped that someone would have looked after them. The town seemed fine so it was reasonable to assume nothing too crazy had happened here. Except the woods where Toothless and Stormfly had made a base for themselves was empty. Abandoned for at least a day, probably closer to two. There were two other places they might be and that he chose Erik's first over Tefe's was as decision that had been made before he'd even really thought about it. He took off running again, bypassed the front door and went right around back.
"Toothless!" His dragon perked up and ran towards him, tackling him as they met halfway. "Oh thank Gods you're here, you're all right." He had no idea if Toothless and Stormfly had the memories of what had happened back in their world, but he was glad, at least, that they were still here. That Erik had looked after them.
