It was two weeks before Camicazi's birthday. Hiccup decided to pay her a visit and go for a hike. He had sucessfully kept the secret of his metal foot and had only told Fishlegs. "Hey Hiccup!" Said Camicazi cheerily, giving her best friend a slap on the back. "Hey! Um...wanna go for a hike up the sea cliffs?" He asked. "Yea!" She replied happily. She drew out her sword and pulled Hiccup to the very bottom of the cliff. "Let's go!" She exclaimed. After about an hour or so of hiking, Hiccup said "I think we should take a rest now. I'm feeling very tired" Camicazi shrugged and said "Alright, just a bit more and we'll reach the peak" so they walked on for five minutes and came to the very top of the sea cliff. The view was breathtakingly beautiful. Hiccup got out a canteen of water and handed it to Camicazi. "Drink up" he said. She nodded and sipped abit, then lay down and removed her boots. Hiccup did the same, but only for his right. "Why aren't you taking off both boots?" Asked Camicazi. "I...yo...I don't... w...feel like!" Exclaimed Hiccup hysterically. Camicazi frowned. "Hiccup" she said slowly. "What's wrong?" "N-nothing!" He replied, looking very guilty. She gave him a 'Tell me NOW or I'm gonna kill you RIGHT NOW RIGHT HERE' look. "Fine" he sighed. Slowly, he undid the latches. Sadly, he took off the boot. Camicazi gasped in horror. "What...when...how?" was all she managed to blurt out. "The large fireball that Dragon Furious' titan Gronkle shot burnt off my leg" Camicazi looked as if she was about to explode, but Hiccup wasn't done. "I made this metal leg myself because everyone knows that Gobber is the WORST secret keeper ever, besides you of course. I hid it in my boot because... because" Hiccup could hardly contain himself. "Because you would think that I'm a cripple, a failure, a weak hiccup runt who isn't strong enough to be friends with the heir of the Bog-Burglars!" Tears of self-pity flowed down his face. "And that...y-you would leave" finished Hiccup, whose heart was crushed as his liking for Camicazi would be wasted. Camicazi's mouth open and shut like a fish out of water. "H-how could you think of such things?" She said shakily. Camicazi was lost in thought. There was a small shake in the bushes, and a long, thin, midnight black snake came slithering out towards Hiccup. He immediately recognized the species.
