Okay, so this story will probably have about three or four mores chapters, including this one. Just letting you know. Oh and and for Midnightsky, your army will just have to deal with it. So if you want this story to get finished and the third one out, I suggest you put away your army. HOPE YOU ENJOY!(I did not mean to make that sound mean by the way.)

The last few days have been terrible. They were filled with training, defending the nest, and planning our next moves. I knew that every dragon was miserable with this, but we had to stay on our toes. The red Death could be coming at any moment, and we had to be ready.

Midnight's death was not taken lightly, leaving everyone barren and miserable. Almost no one smiled, and if they did it was to brighten the mood. But it did not prevail. Shadow took it hardest of all, only coming out of the cave we slept in to eat. Then she would go back into the room and sleep, as if dreaming that Midnight was still here might bring her back.

I wanted to comfort her, tell it was all right and everything would be okay. But if I did I would be lying. I couldn't even bring myself to believe it.

Luna would rarely speak, and when she did it was small and whispered. She would train all day, and only come back to the cave for short breaks and when it was time to come in. She had said she would get back at Viggo for killing our daughter, and i would be right there with her when she did. That man was going to pay for taking away our child.

It was the beginning of the second week after Midnight's death, and everyone was training. Except for me. I was out patrolling the nearby islands, or at least that's what I told Toothless. I was actually just flying to clear my head, going over what had happened in the past week. The Hunters making their appearance, Viggo killing my daughter, the Red Death coming in days, maybe hours. We had so little time to prepare, and so much to do.

I found myself flying towards the air vents, and remembered how much Midnight and Shadow had loved them. I flew right over the vents, and let my muscles go slack, but made sure my wings were open so they could catch the bitter cold wind and lift me up. As I floated above the ocean, I thought about the first time Shadow and Midnight had come here.

. . .

"Shadow! Midnight!" Luna called for our daughters. It was their first birthday, and they were just beginning to fly. They could get off the ground well enough, and just mastered gliding. This was their treat for making it into actual flying. We had an actual flight school for all the hatchlings in the nest, which consisted of different levels of flying.

"Yeah Mommy?" Midnight said, and walked into the room with her sister right behind her.

"What's going on?" Shadow asked.

"We're going out to celebrate." I answered, and their eyes lit up.

"Where are we going?" Midnight asked.

"It's a surprise." I answered, and picked up Midnight by the wings. Like I said, they couldn't fully fly yet. Luna grabbed Shadow and we headed out.

About a few minutes later, we arrived at the air vents, and we set the girls down.

"What is this place?" Shadow asked.

"These are the air vents." Luna answered.

"It's where air sort of comes up from the ocean and when you fly on top of it, it lifts you up and you don't even have to carry yourself." I explained. (I don't know if that's how it actually works or not, I haven't been paying attention in science lately.)

Midnight and Shadow looked confused, and Luna and I looked at each other. "I'll show you how it works." I said, and leapt off the cliff and on the drafts of air. The bitter wind rushed to save me, and in a few seconds I was floating over the ocean, much to Midnight and Shadow's astonishment. They gaped at me, and Shadow too jumped off of the cliff. But Midnight stayed and looked on in wonder. I beat my large wings and landed on the cliff as Luna went off to watch

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"I don't wanna go on the vents." She said.

"Why not?"

"It looks scary." She said. "I might fall."

I laughed. "That's it?" I said. "Sweetie, these vents have been used time and time again. No dragon has ever fallen. And if they can hold your uncle Toothy, they con hold anyone." I said.

"I still don't want too." She said, and my wings drooped.

This was meant to be fun! I couldn't understand how she thought that this was scary, when her sister was happily suing them. Then an idea sparked in my head.

"What if you could ride me while I'm on the vents?" I suggested. "And you could get off when you feel safe enough to get off and ride them on your own."

She pondered this for a moment before answering. "Okay." She got on my back and I carefully got off the cliff. My wings caught the rushing wind, and lifted me up. Midnight squealed, but stayed on my back.

After a few minutes, I asked her if she was ready. "I think so." She said, and slowly spread out her wings. They caught the updraft, and she went up. She squealed in delight, and looked down at me. Her mouth opened, and her tongue flopped out, flapping in the wind. I laughed at her, and she started to do tricks in the air. In a minute, Shadow joined her and it became a competition of who could do the better tricks. It ended in a tie, and we went back to the nest.

. . .

A tear fell down my face as I remembered Midnight's happy face as she floated in the vents.

"I miss you, Midnight."

My gods that was sad. Seriously, for some reason I was crying while writing this part. And I might've been regretting killing Midnight. Oh yeah, so I found this really good soundtrack for HTTYD 3. I don't how I found it, I just did. Here's the link below. Or you could just put in your search bar letter per letter.
