In the third album, years after defeating Arkos, Tabaluga celebrates his seventh birthday. He receives many gifts, including from Arktos himself, but he ends up loaded with heavy jeweled chains he can barely move. The ice king offers to remove a crystal chain in exchange for it, and Tabaluga, free, soars away. He trades another chain for honey with the bees, gifts a sad river with another, uses another to mend the tree of life from his first adventure, grants another to a unlucky fellow, and gifts the penultimate to a dirty pig. He also meets the Silver Fox, a friend of Arktos who tries to steal his last chain, but Tabaluga gives it voluntarily and explains he only needs his fire to live. Free from the weight, Tabaluga boastfully tries to lift an iceberg, but gets trapped underneath and Arktos takes advantage to try to conquer Greenland. Fortunately for Tabaluga, all the people he gave his chains come and form a living chain to get him free. Tabaluga ponders about friendship and, being then gifted a mirror by Nessaja, decides he doesn't want to keep holding doubts about himself.
