Chapter 4: Night Fury?
Up high above the clouds, all you could hear was the wind. Flying higher and higher, getting closer to vast nothingness, getting further away from everything.
Hiccup thought something along those lines that day, when he was above the clouds with Toothless. A vast white sea of clouds, stretching out for miles around, with only the small island that was the top of the mountain. And continuing even higher, the clouds just became another thing, another sea, and they were flying in the sky above the sky.
White and blue, that's what they saw. White and blue all around, blue above, white below. Sometimes the other way around.
White and blue until black came from nowhere, whamming into them and sending them plummeting to the cloud sea below.
Hiccup shouted and went to deploy his flight suit, but he looked over at Toothless just as the black dragon came at him again, aiming for Toothless' neck. Toothless twisted and pushed the black dragon back with a paw, but it wasn't enough. The black dragon dodged the paw and clamped its teeth around Toothless' wing. Toothless flapped, trying to shake the dragon off, but it held on.
They were past the cloud sea and Hiccup glanced down, only registering the blue sea before the black dragon attacking Toothless lashed out and hit him with its tail.
"Toothless!" Hiccup shouted, grabbing the dragon's tail and getting jerked forwards. He let go and flew straight into Toothless, reaching out and snagging the saddle. He swung himself over and Toothless finally shook off the black dragon. Toothless spread his wings and Hiccup activated the tail fin.
Just in time too.
They both screamed and skimmed over the water, splashing sea spray on themselves but luckily missing the actual sea. They slowed down and landed on the beach.
Hiccup heard a thump as the black dragon landed behind him. He turned, readying his sword, Inferno...
He stopped dead in his tracks. The black dragon was more than just any black dragon.
"Toothless, is that..." Toothless looked equally gobsmacked.
"Is that a... Night Fury?"
Ooh! That was a great cliffhanger! Don't mean to brag... That would be mean...
If anyone has any constructive criticism, be sure to tell me, I appreciate things like that.
