It is now nighttime, Gobber and the teens are seated at the top of a watch tower, toasting their dinner around a roaring bonfire as they sit around it. The Haddock twins' minds were mainly elsewhere as they cooked their fish, while everyone sat and listened to Gobber's tale.

"And with one twist, he took my hand, and swallowed it whole! 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." Gobber said, sitting between Hiccup and Astrid, holding a cooked chicken in his prosthetic hands, as he gestured to his stump on his leg.

The teens gasp in awe, except for Hiccup, Valerie, Eira, Fabjorn, and Liv.

"Isn't it weird to think that your hand was inside a dragon? Like if your mind was still in control of it" Fighlegs asks, sitting between Astrid and Ruffnut as he bangs his two chicken drumsticks together. "You could have killed the dragon from the inside by...crushing his heart or something." 

At this statement, Fishlegs earned some weird looks from the others while Valerie subtly rolled her eyes.

"That won't even work, when a person's arm is cut off, so is the nerve that connects the arm to the brain, since the brain has no way to send nerve impulses into the arm, it can't be controlled anymore." She quietly said, sitting between Hiccup and Eira, earning nods from the two.

Her brother and their friends don't have the level of knowledge that Valerie has in medicine; they only know a little bit.

"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 boasted, sitting between Tuffnut and Ruffnut, waving his skewered chicken.

"At least he'll use his head for something." Liv whispered, causing Fabjorn to quietly chuckle as Gobber then hummed in disagreement at Snotlout.

"Un-unh, no, it's the wings and the tails you really want." Gobber explained, as he made an example by pulling off the wing of his chicken. "If it can't fly, it can't get away; a downed dragon is a dead dragon."

Hiccup and Valerie look up, horrified. The two glance at each other and exchange a look, a silent conversation between them.

"Hey, Hiccup and I have something to do, so we'll leave first, kay?" Valerie informed Eira, Fabjorn, and Liv.

"Okay, see you." Eira said.

"Don't stay up too late." Liv reminded.

"We won't." Hiccup assures, as the two teens leave behind their cooked fish and leave.

Fabjorn watched them leave with a raised brow, for some reason, nowadays, he noticed that they've been doing something.

"Is it me or are they up to something?" Fabjorn asks the two girls.

"Who knows? It's Hiccup and Val, you don't know what to expect." Eira said, as Fabjorn looked down in suspicion.

Not noticing the Haddock twins' departure, Gobber yawns and stretches as he gets 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 teens smirked.

They were all excited, determined to be the one in the spotlight and kill the beast, maybe even be called one of the best.

"It's gonna be me, it's my destiny, see?" Tuffnut says, sitting between Liv and Fishlegs, leaning into a casual pose to show something.
