I watched Moonwolf, my daughter, as she beat her brother, yet again, to the top of Gothi's stick. I was lying beside my sister Cloud, who was as proud strong and fast as I was, the only thing that she wasn't was spiteful, well I wasn't spiteful now that I had met Toothless, she would always be different.

"So, Cloud what is this terrible danger?" I asked,

"Our father, Nightshade, is bent on… on… on kil-… on killing Toothless, Moonwolf and Lightning. When he learned of your family, he became enraged, he never wanted either of us to mate, unless our mate was a very VERY important Nightfury. So when he learned of your PET mate and that you were pregnant, he began to track you down, intending to kill your family, I came to find you, and help defend your family." Cloud replied, with every ounce of seriousness she could find within her heart.

" Dad wants to kill my family? When all he ever did for me and you was segregate us from other Nightfurys? And he thinks that I'll like him for it?"

"Yes."

I collapsed, my mate, my children, wanted dead by my own father? I began to weep, when,

"Mum? Will we die?" I looked up at Moonwolf,

"No. Whatever happens, I will not let that insane beast hurt you." I growled, anger rising in my heart, like a flood of lava,

"I'll protect you, Moony, and Dad from Beast! I'll knock 'im down and claw his eyes out, and tear his wings off!" reassured Lightning, making me, his sister and his aunt, all burst into laughter,

"I think we should leave that to your father and aunt." I chuckled, my father was massive, he had a 50 foot wingspan, and a 20 shot limit fire power. I didn't want my first and only son to die at his paws.

"MIRAGE." I cowered down in my little cave, my father was here. I heard him land heavily, he was in the village plaza. I quickly led Moony and Lightning out of the cave, we had to get to Dragon Island, I knew that there was a cave, hidden in the very centre of the volcanic mountain where we could hide. I risked a look over my shoulder, my father was prowling around, looking for my family, and me.

Toothless came out of nowhere, landing with an audible thud on my fathers' back, I turned and kept on running, but my dear children could not keep up, so I picked Moonwolf up in my mouth, and placed Lightning between my ears. I could see the cliff, and Cloud was there waiting, she took Lightning in her mouth and we took off, I strained every muscle, in order to gain speed. Cloud sped beside me, we had to reach the safety of the cave, Hookfang, Meatlug, Stormfly, Barf and Belch, and mine and Clouds best friend, Zephy, were all waiting by the cave to help fight my father, should he survive Toothless's attack and follow us there, we were almost there, I could just make out the island. But I heard wing beats behind me… My father had either killed Toothless, or decided to come after the cubs. I transferred Moonwolf to my paws,

"HOOKFANG! MEATLUG! STORMFLY! BARF! BELCH! ZEPHY! HHHEEELLLPPP!" I roared at the top of my lungs, I felt Moonwolf twist her head round so that she was facing Nightshade, she shot her first ever plasma blast at him, the flash temporarily blinded him, helping us to reach the island, and enter the cave. Lightning was fuming with anger that Nightshade was not defeated, he, without me or Cloud noticing, ran out of the cave entrance…

Lightnings POV

I ran, mum would never know, Moony was keeping her safe, I bounded outside and roared a challenge at my grandfather,

"COME AND GET ME YOU PEE BRAINED WINGLESS BEAST!" I yelled, my grandfather, Nightshade landed in front of me.

"Puny little cub, you aren't even 2 weeks old, and yet you challenge a 56 year old adult male… Well prepare to die, son of Mirage and the flightless pet." Hissed the adult nightfury, I boiled with anger, to call a dragon flightless is like driving a knife in to the heart of your bestest ever friend and laughing about it. In a blind fury I leapt on to his head and latched my claws into his redish green eyes, it felt good, to have my enemies blood flowing down my claws, I purred with satisfaction as Nightshade yowled in pain. I let out a savage laugh,

"Can't better a four day old cub? Some adult male." I began to sing to enrage him,

"Everyone else can kill a tiny fishy, everyone else has sharp teeth, but when you show up we all laugh at you, you don't know-oh-oh, you don't know your fli-ight-less! Everyone else has sharper claw-aw-aw-aws, everyone else ca-an fly! But when you show up, we all laugh at you, you don't know-oh-oh, oops you cannot see-ee me, I think I have blinded you-ou-ou! Now you cannot see-ee me!" and he really couldn't, I'd clawed his eyes to pieces, I felt my stomach rumble, but there was no time for food, I had to stay true to my word and kill Beast. As he shook his head, I clawed my way down round his neck and bit down hard on his jugular vein, I felt him go limp but I still held on,

"You… win…but…I….wont…die…" muttered Beast as his life ended.

Mirages POV

I watched in paralysed fear as my only son got thrown around whilst he clawed out my father's eyes, the battled raged for 10 minutes, until Lightening bit down on Nightshade's main vein in his neck, killing him, I saw Nightshade mutter something to Lightening, as my child ended my fathers life. Toothless landed next to me, he gaped at our son as he roared his victory, my son, Lightening, had stayed true to his word, "I'll protect you, Moony, and Dad from Beast! I'll knock 'im down and claw his eyes out, and tear his wings off!" well, he hadn't stayed completely true, I thought until I looked up, and saw Lightening tearing at Nightshades wing joints with his teeth and claws, until both wings became dislodged and fell to the ground. I was thinking, my son had killed another dragon, and that would weigh heavy on him, until I remembered how Nightfury hatchlings gain flight, by making their first kill. Be it another dragon, or prey.

I looked at Lightening,

"Well, are you ready to return home?" asked Lightening, we all nodded, I lowered my head for the children to climb onto my head, Lightning told me he'd catch up in a second. We flew and flew, but Lightning never came. We landed on berk and lay before us was Lightning, spread out in the sun,

"What took you all so long?" he muttered.
