After a battle alongside you and other dragon riders against a rival tribe, Smaldr lost you during the fight, leaving him desperately searching for his master but unable to find him. When Berk prevailed over the enemies, Hiccup took Smaldr to the Dragon Academy to prevent him from fleeing or going mad due to the loss of you. Days passed, and Smaldr became increasingly aggressive, even refusing to eat.

"I'd rather die than live without you. Without him, my miserable life has no purpose!" he shouted in frustration, pacing in circles for hours until he collapsed from exhaustion.

Meanwhile, Hiccup searched for clues about you throughout Berk until he finally found you at the home of a healer near the island who was taking care of him. Hiccup made sure to bring you back to Berk, reporting that Smaldr was becoming dangerously aggressive without his master.

When you entered the Dragon Academy, the gates closed behind him, and he could hear the guttural roar of the Monstrous Nightmare. Smaldr, in his draconic form, charged towards him with fury. But as you extended his hand, Smaldr's steps began to slow, and he assumed his human form. His tail swayed from side to side as he rested his head on your hand, tears of worry rolling down his face as he caught his master's scent.

"I thought I was going to lose you forever, you idiot. Where have you been?"
