"How do you like your fish?" Gobber's voice broke me from my concentration.

"It's good, uh Uncle Gobber?" His head popped up at hearing me call him that. It had been years since I had used that term.

"Yes?" He asked leaning forward his attention to me.

"Do you remember my mother?" I manage to ask.

He rubs his chin in thought, "Well of course I do, she was my best friend," he adds thoughtfully.

"Do you remember her wings?" I timidly question.

"Yeah, they were beautiful, red and black. The colors seemed to blend though almost like a sunset," he grins at the thought.

"Yeah," I mumble wondering how she was able to keep the secret for so many years that she was dating the possible enemy.

"Did you know?" I lean forward waiting for his answer.

"That she was dating Draco? I knew she was in love, and I knew that something was wrong. When she met Draco she stayed away from the village only talking to me and her mother," Gobber answered as if just remembering.

"Do you remember what she normally used if she were in a battle?" I need to remember what Gothi told me: Ask questions, learn about your mother and her mistakes. Study your mother as if she were your target and your opponent, your enemy. Only then will you succeed.

"Well she normally used all of the weapons and she was pretty good in both hands, she didn't want her enemy to see a weakness in her," I guess my mother was the ideal warrior.

"She was the best trained out of all of us," Gobber continued.

I had no more questions and I knew I had to be getting back to the others soon before they start asking questions. Especially since I left Diamond a second time, and I usually bring her everywhere.

"Gobber, I actually have to go, I haven't been home in 2 days, so I need to-"

"Oh yeah, uh I'll... I'll see you later," he stood and opened the door for me. I pat his shoulder not ready for hugs just yet.

He nods and I step from the door into the cold snow that coats the ground. I look up to see Gothi admiring the village and her eyes fawn over me. I continue walking as I look down and reach into my bag making sure I have the book. I do.

As I approach the small hut, the door opens.

"Sapphire! You've been gone for 2 days! Where have you been?" Astrid questions worried.

"I was with Gothi yesterday and I ate dinner with Gobber tonight," I answer as we continue to walk towards the hut.

I see the group and they seem to be huddled near a fire, "We decided to bunk together for the Snow tonight, it's supposed to be much thicker and I alerted the village to stick in groups," Hiccup explains once I see the huge amount of people here.

"Oh, what about-" I'm interrupted by the door.

Two people covered in snow come in, the first person is revealed as Gobber and the second person is Gothi, "All the other doors were shut and bolted down," Gobber clarifies at seeing us.

"Yeah, come on in, there are some extra clothes in the last room upstairs, there's warm water in the washing room," Hiccup gestures to upstairs.

After everyone's gone upstairs I take a seat at the empty dining room table and set the book down. The last few pages are empty perfect to create a profile of the enemy.

Silvio was precise, and she was smart and clever. Playing games on her opponent. She never fought without a weapon but her combat skills were average. Maybe that's her weakness. I'll have to learn to use every weapon and strengthen my combat skills. She has two things that I don't have wings and plasmablasts both weapons that are apart of her. I know she'll use them, but how do I get rid of them? A downed dragon is a dead dragon, but I cannot and will not take away her wings. Even if I did she would still have the plasmablasts. I need to know why type of plasmablasts so I can make a suit that deflects it easily. The Night Fury skin is fireproof but she isn't part Night Fury, that's for sure. I would never harm a Night Fury to ensure my safety like that. So what type of dragon is she?
