Hiccup: "HEY! YOU LEFT MY DRAGON BACK THERE! HE CAN'T FLY ON HIS OWN! HE'LL DROWN!"

Ymir: "ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO US?!"

Hiccup and Ymir are carried into the Dragon's Sanctuary, the dragons tossed them onto the ground. Hiccup finding his feet but Ymir lands onto her side. Hiccup slowly helps her up.

Hiccup: "Mir, are you..."

Ymir nods, holding her arm.

Hiccup: "We have to head back for our dragons!"

Dragons surround Hiccup, his hand pressed against Ymir's arm, hiding her behind his back. Hiccup pulls out his fire blade, showing he's one of the dragons.

Hiccup draws a circle of gas and ignites it. Causing the dragons to back up. Walking towards a dragon with an extended arm. The warrior steps forward and Hiccup recoils.

Hiccup: "Who are you? The Dragon Thief? Drago Bludvist? Do you even understand what I'm saying?"

The warrior shakes their staff, the beads on its end making a weird noise and orders a dragon to bring Toothless. Howler carried behind him. Ymir runs over to Toothless rubbing his head before hugging Howler's head, the dragon humming in return.

Ymir: "I'm so glad you're both okay! We were so scared.."

Hiccup: "Toothless! It's okay. I'm glad to see you, too, bud. You really had me worried there."

The warrior orders the dragons to light the place, approaches Toothless and puts him in a trance, then examines Hiccup. Ymir grabs Hiccup's hand, standing in front of him with her arm hovering him possessively. Hiccup gets nervous and turns his head a little, revealing the scar on his chin, which the warrior recognizes. The warrior backs up, staring at them.

Warrior: "Hiccup?"

The warrior takes off their helmet, revealing herself as a middle-aged woman. Dark hair with grey stripes, grass green eyes.

Warrior: "Could it be? After all these years? How is this possible?"

Hiccup: "Uh, should I... should I know you?"

Warrior: "No. You were only a babe... But a mother never forgets."

Hiccup stammers, backing up. He looked absolutely flabbergasted. Ymir gripped onto his hand, just as stunned.

Ymir: "What in Odin's beard hair..."

Warrior: "Come..."

Valka leads Hiccup through a maze of rock caves. He struggles to keep up. Ymir is right behind him, along with Toothless and Howler.

Hiccup: "Hold on! Wait just a minute!"

Valka: "This way."

Hiccup: "Come back here!"

Valka: "Come."

Hiccup: "You can't just say something like that and run off! You're my MOTHER?! I mean, what the -- do you grasp how INSANE it sounds?!"

Valka: "Come. Quickly!"

Hiccup: "I have questions!"

Ymir pushes him over the smooth rocks he was struggling on. Allowing Toothless to help her up.

Hiccup: "Where have you been all this time? What've you been doing?! They said you were dead! Everyone thinks you were eaten by..."

Hiccup goes through an opening, leading to the Dragon's Sanctuary. Hordes of dragons of various species fly around Hiccup as he stares in awe. Ymir walks out from behind him, laughing in disbelief and astonishment.

Hiccup looks up and sees Valka and Cloudjumper hanging on the cave roof.

Hiccup: "This is where you've been for twenty years?"

Valka nods

Hiccup: "You've been rescuing them. Unbelievable."

Valka: "You're not upset?"

Hiccup: "What? No. I don't know. It's a bit much to get my head around, to be frank. It's not every day you find out your mother is some kind of crazy, feral, vigilante dragon lady."

Valka: "At least I'm not boring... right?"

Hiccup: "I suppose there is that... one... specific... thing..."

Valka: "Do you like it?"

Hiccup: "I don't have the words."

Ymir runs over to the babies, who tackles her to the ground, surrounding her and licking her face. She sits up, Howler grabbing the back of her suit and lifting her off the ground. She licks the brunette's hair back to it's original shape. She walks with Howler to the other dragons, petting and getting to know each one. She finds Toothless who skips over to her.

Valka: "Ymir...?"

Valka points at the girl, staring at Hiccup. He nods. Ymir smiled at the woman who walks over and rests her hands on either side of her face.

Valka: "You look just like your mother... Beautiful... But you have your father's nose"

She boops her nose causing Ymir to chuckle.

Valka: "You're all grown up. The last time I saw you, you were drinking off your mother's--"

Ymir: "Okay! T-Too much information!"

She smiles anxiously backing away. Valka laughs, turning to Hiccup.

Valka: "You chose a good one."

Hiccup smiles at Ymir who returned it.

Hiccup: "Yes, I did"

Valka shows Hiccup and Ymir the center of the nest, where an immense, white dragon is asleep in a pool of water. Smaller dragons fly by and respectfully bow before the king.

Valka: "With his icy breath, this graceful giant built our nest. A safe haven for dragons everywhere."

Hiccup: "Wait, that's the ice-spitter? He's responsible for all that destruction?"

Ymir: "If Eret could see us now..."

Valka: "He protects us. We all live under his care. And his command. All but the babies, of course... who listen to no one!"

The babies pester Toothless, and Cloudjumper scares them off. They land on the Bewilderbeast, who wakes up, gently blows them off and turns to face Valka and Hiccup.

Valka:" I've lived among them for twenty years, Hiccup, learning their ways, discovering their secrets..."

Valka's Bewilderbeast blows a puff of snow gently onto Hiccup's hair. Ymir laughs, wiping the snow off of his hair.

Valka: "He likes you."

Hiccup: "Wow."

Valka: "You must be hungry."

Hiccup: "Uh, yeah. I could eat."

Ymir: "Me too. I didn't have breakfast because of someone.."

Hiccup rolled his eyes.

Valka: "Good. It's feeding time."

Toothless tries to play with Cloudjumper, who is not amused by his antics. Howler raises her head, howling at the two.
