Darkness Shall Fall

by DareDreamer

A new evil has risen, threatening to shroud Berk in darkness. If the Riders can destroy this new threat, it will not be a simple task. They have to defeat a lone rider and his Night Fury... who seem to be more powerful than the Riders themselves!

6. Plan

As Eclipse flew back to the island that served as the Shadowhunter's own base, he fumed with rage and unleashed it on any sea stack he could find. How could he have lost them? HOW COULD HE HAVE LOST THEM?! His master would be displeased. Or would he? He did treat Eclipse like a brother most of the time.

"So, you found them." His master guessed. "Yes, master." Eclipse replied. "But they escaped. I apologize for…" "There is no need, Eclipse." Shadowhunter interrupted, his helmet gleaming in the moonlight. "Now we know they care for each other. If one of them falls, the other is sure to follow." Eclipse tilted his head. "You don't want me to kill them, do you?" His master smirked beneath the helmet. The reason he had trained Eclipse to be a killing machine was because he had hatched during a lunar eclipse, hence his name. And because of this, he had been granted special abilities that were rare to the Night Fury species. They included enhanced senses, control over other Night Furies and, strangest of all, the ability to read minds.

"No, I want the one called 'Toothless' brought to me alive. With his status of Alpha, I will control not just the Night Furies, but the entire dragon race. And soon, the world will be engulfed in my darkness." Eclipse gave a small frown. "That may be a flawless plan, master, but I am curious. Why was this dragon given the role of leadership? I tapped into his thoughts. Instead of a brave warrior, he is mostly nothing but an overgrown house pet." "Only around those who he calls his friends, Eclipse." His master informed. "He only becomes threatening when he or his allies are in danger. So, I need you to find them." "Where will I find them?" "They are located on the isle of Berk, located just miles from here." Shadowhunter thought of what Berk looked like from his recent spy on it. Eclipse picked this up and nodded. "When do I start, master?" "The night is still young, Eclipse. You are to head there immediately. Kill your targets only if necessary." Eclipse bowed. "As you wish, my master." And in the blink of an eye, he was gone.
