Alright! Hope you guys liked the little surprise I put at the end of Soul of a Dragon 2 in the Epilogue. I've been planning that since the beginning of the story. I was really looking forward to reading your guys' reviews. I'm really surprised I've been able to update so much with my family here and all. So, just so you guys know, Midnight won't be found until she's at least ten, maybe fifteen. So that's towards the end of the story. Anyway, hope you enjoy the story! Oh, and most of the story will be from Midnight's pov. Just letting you guys know.
I woke up from my corner of the cell form the sound of men talking. I got up and yawned. I looked past the bars of my cell and saw two men talking to each other. I perked my ears towards them in curiosity.
"I heard that the Red Death has already destroyed the nest." One said. "The boy has to be dead."
The boy? What boy? The only boys she knew are her daddy and Tuffnut, the boy from Berk.
"Good. Now we can destroy Berk when we get there. That place was driving me nuts." the other said.
I shook my head in confusion. My dad had told me that the hunters and his homeland were in alliance. Why would the hunters want to destroy them?
I looked over at the dead fish near the front of the cell. I was so hungry, but I didn't wanna go near those men. My stomach rumbled and I made up my mind.
Maybe just a nibble.
I carefully walked over to the fish and then bit it by the tail, then dragged it over to my spot in the cell. I was about to take a bite when the ship rocked, and men were shouting upstairs. One came down, ordered the two guards to keep on high alert, and to not let anything happen to me, the ran back upstairs.
I shrugged my wings and ate the fish. Only a few minutes after I was done, there was a loud bang outside my cell, and three men wearing black tunic-like things, and cloth covering their mouths and noses. When they saw me, they all gasped.
"A night fury." One gaped.
"We have to take it back to the island, and tell Mala about this." another said, and opened the gate. One of them stepped towards me cautiously, holding out his hand. I cocked my head at him.
"It's alright, little one, we're the good guys." He said, and I relaxed. I took a step towards him, and sniffed his hand. Sensing he was no threat, I jumped onto his shoulder. He turned to the other men and nodded. Then they ran off with me on the man's shoulder.
We came into daylight, and I blinked a few times to get my eyes to adjust to the sudden light. When I could see again, I saw that we were heading onto another boat. There was a small wooden plank that the men walked accross, and then we came onto the ship.
"Where are we going?" I asked, and they all stopped and stared at me. And I think one fainted. One man came up to us, but he was different than the others. He had a bluish tunic with a black skirt-like thing. He had short orange hair and brown eyes that were staring at me.
"How can you talk?" he asked gently.
"Well, I got it from my daddy, and I can turn into human." I answered.
All the men gaped at me.
"What?" I asked.
"How is that possible?" The man asked.
I shrugged. "Ask my daddy and grandpa." Then I remembered what the two guards had said, and lowered my head. "If they're still alive."
The man cocked his head.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"The two men said that he might be dead… all of them." I started whimper but I held back my tears.
"Who was your father?" The man asked.
"Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third." I answered.
The man stroked his chin. "I never knew him." He said.
"I didn't think you would." I said.
"What do you mean?" He asked. He seemed to have calmed down about me talking, along with the other black dressed men aboard the ship.
"He left his homeland when he was fifteen with my uncle Toothy and Hooky." I explained. My father and mother had only told me and my sister that story a million times, now we know the story like we know our names.
"And where was his homeland?" he asked.
"Berk." I answered.
"Why did he leave?"
"Because they were treating him like week old cod."
"Week old cod?"
"They were treating him wrong." I said.
"Why?"
I shrugged. "I don't know. Only mommy and daddy knew."
A man came down from the steering floor. "Throk, we are aproaching the island." He said.
"Your name is Thruk?" I asked the man.
He laughed. "Throk, and yes. It is my name."
"Oh. So are we going to your home?" I asked.
"Yes. And you get meet our queen." Throk said.
"Queen? Does she control you?" I asked curiously.
"No." he laughed. "She is very kind to us, and treats us well."
I looked over the ocean, and saw that a beautiful island was coming into view. Maybe I had found someone that could help me find my family again. I just couldn't believe that my family was dead. I had to do whatever it took to find my family.
No matter the cost.
Well that was touching. HOPE YOU ENJOYED AND PLEASE REVIEW!
