[Valka leads Hiccup through a maze of rock caves. He struggles to keep up.]

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!

Gobber: Heh. Rebellious as always.

Valka rolled her eyes.

Hiccup: I have questions! 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.]

Everyone stares in awe when seeing the view.

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

Stoick was able to see his wife's smile for all those years.

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

[Valka nods.]

Hiccup: You've been rescuing them. [Nods again, this time, smiling] 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.

Astrid laughed.

Astrid: Really?

Hiccup playfully glares at Astrid.

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.

[Toothless is seen surrounded by curious dragons who playfully approach and sniff at him; frustrated, he scares them off.]

Most children giggle at the behavior.

Valka: Can I...?

Valka: He's beautiful! Incredible! And he might very well be the last of his kind. And look, he's your age!

Hiccup: Really?

Valka nods.

Hiccup: That's amazing! Am I right, buddy? We're the same age.
