Gobber and the recruits are seated on top of an abandoned catapult tower, toasting food around a roaring bonfire as they sit around it.
"And with one twist, he took my hand and swallowed it whole." Gobber said, as he tells a story while holding a turkey on his interchangeable hands. "And I saw the look on his face, I was delicious, he must have passed the word because it wasn't a month before another one of them took my leg."
Valerie had her brother on her right while Fabjorn was on her left, as they hear Gobber's story.
"Isn't it weird to think that your hand was inside a dragon? Like if your mind was still in control of it, you could have killed the dragon from the inside by crushing his heart or something." Fishlegs said, gaining some blank stares.
"I swear I'm so angry right now, I'll avenge your beautiful hand and your beautiful foot, I'll chop off the legs of every dragon I fight, with my face." Snotlout said.
Valerie and Fabjorn chuckle as they listen to Gobber's tall tales, their finger's graze each other's making them retract it and gasp quietly. They then slowly touched clutched their hands, looking away from each other while Gobber slightly muffles while eating his turkey.
"Un-unh, it's the wings and the tails you really want, if it can't fly, it can't get away." Gobber said, as he make's an example pulling the wing of his turkey. "A downed dragon, is a dead dragon."
Hiccup look's horrified at what Gobbeer said, as he hides it, while Gobber yawns and stretches, as he got up.
"Alright, I'm off to bed, you should be too, tomorrow we get into the big boys, slowly but surely making our way up to the Monstrous Nightmare, but who'll win the honor of killing it?" Gobber said, as the majority of the teen's smirk, while Valerie notice that Hiccup had already left.
"It's gonna be me, it's my destiny, see?" Tuffnut boasted, as Astrid also notice that Hiccup isn't where he was seating.
"Oh, your mom let you get a tattoo?" Fishleg's gasp
"It's not a tattoo, it's a birth mark." Tuffnut said.
Meanwhile, Astrid watches Hiccup walk away from the group, she suspiciously watches him.
"Okay, I've been stuck with you since birth, and that was never there before." Ruffnut said.
"Yes it was, you've never seen me from the left side until now." Tuffnut denied, as Astrid walks back to the other teens.
"I'm gonna go." Valerie whispered to Fabjorn.
"Okay, night." He whispered back.
"Night to you too." She said, as he release's her hand before she leaves, making Fabjorn look longingly at her.

Hiccup is currently in small room in the blacksmith stall, it was covered in drawings of weaponry and scale models. He lights a candle and lays his sketchbook out on the desk, opening it to the drawing of the Night Fury, as he re-draws the missing tail. He then fans the stone forge, as it glows with every pump. He then hammers the metal, then blows on it, before dunking it in a barrel of water as he put's it on his desk, before working on some other things. He remove's some nails from a shield then hammers them after heating it, he put some small metal balls down and measure's them before putting all the piece's together, which was revealed to be a mechanical fin, as Hiccup pulled it back to look at the sketch again.
