The dragon looked over the unmoving form of Toothless, her sky-blue eyes showing concern for him. 'He should've moved by now... It's been hours since we got back to the cave.' The dragoness slowly approached him, sighing in relief when she noticed the faint rise and fall of his chest - to indicate that he was still breathing. Her stomach rumbled, and she looked to the sea from her cave entrance. She leaned back to the male, before flying out of the cave.
The young dragoness hovered in the sky, casting a shadow upon the ocean surface as the sun set behind the mountains of her home island. She dove into the ocean, swimming beneath the water surface as she caught fish in her talon. Breaking the surface of the water, she turned around, returning to her cave - depositing some of the fish next to Toothless, while keeping a few for herself. She nudged him - trying to rouse the night fury, but she was treated with no response. She heard movement approaching the entrance of the cave, and another dragon walked in.
"Hey Eclipse" the other dragoness greeted.
"Hi Autumn" Eclipse replied to the midnight silver dragon. "Whose the male over in the corner there?" Autumn asked.
"I don't know... Found him out in the middle of the ocean, just floating there. He hasn't even moved since I got him back here." Eclipse answered.
"Well, haven't you been to get him any help yet?"
"I can't really leave him alone, you know what Lea's like... If he comes back, and see's some random male in my cave, he'd kill him." Eclipse explains.
"I guess, speaking of your brother... I just saw him flying back from the alpha, Falcon was getting told off again - anyway, he's on his way back here, I just came to let you know."
"'K thanks."
The midnight-silver night fury flew away from the cave entrance, flying away to her own cave. Eclipse walked to the entrance, looking around for any sign of her brother. After spotting her brother flying into a different cave with Falcon and his older brother Hawk, she decided to return to the unmoving Toothless. Nudging the male once again, she still got no reply. Sighing again, she circled around, leaving a small ring of fire on the ground as she rested near him. She woke up not long later when she felt a warm liquid brushing against her flank - looking to the source of the liquid, she spotted a large cut along Toothless' chest that had somehow opened recently, and was now releasing a steady stream of blood, which was flowing down to her. The blood began to stain her blue scales, and the scent of the blood slowly began to make itself known. She rose and cautiously approached him, looking at the wound - noticing that it wasn't large, but he was still in danger of it bleeding out before it sealed back up by itself. She began to lick the wound, cleaning it and helping speed up the healing process - unknowingly rousing Toothless.
Just as the wound sealed up, Toothless hissed at the other dragon, before building up enough strength to rise to his feet and face them. Despite sensing her firesoul being friendly, he still couldn't... didn't... trust her.
"Hey.. It's ok... Calm down.. I aint going to hurt you." She tried to calm the on-edge dragon.
"Calm down... How do I know you won't hurt me... How can I trust you, I don't even know you" Toothless wheezed out.
"Hey.. Trust me... What reason would I have to hurt you?" She asked him.
"Yea... but what reason do you have for not hurting me?" He asked her.
Before Eclipse could reply, she began to sense his firesoul. She could sense fear... nothing but fear in it, yet it didn't feel friendly, nor did it feel hostile, it felt more... more... she was unsure what it felt like, so she dismissed it. "Well... Why would I want to hurt the dragon I just saved from drowning?"
"That was you?" Toothless asked, receiving a nod in response. "Oh.. I'm sorry."
"Hey don't worry about it. It's fine" She assured him. Just then - she began to sense the firesoul of her brother growing strong.
Soon enough, Lea landed outside the cave, his eyes falling on the stranger inside... alone with his younger sister. He walked in-between to duo, his pupils thin as he stared at Toothless. "What do you think your doing with my sister?" he growled.
"Nothing.. honestly" Toothless replied.
"Lea... Just stop.. ok I brought him here... he was..." Eclipse was cut off by her older brother.
"What do you think your doing? Eclipse his a total stranger..."
"Wait - let me finish..." She was cut off again.
Lea approached Toothless, his fangs bared. In a swift motion he swiped at Toothless - who despite his lack of energy managed to dodge the attack, and swiped back out of self defence. Lea pushed against Toothless, ramming into him a forcing him out of the cave. As Toothless rose to his feet, he looked at the older Night fury, knowing he wasn't going to win this fight in his condition. He turned away, and slowly left the cave. He walked aimlessly around the island, not noticing the small drop he was heading straight towards.
He lost his footing, and fell down, yelping weakly in pain as he bashed his body off the rocks. One on the smaller spikes on the rocks dug into his stomach, tearing scales off and causing blood to be released from the cuts. He returned to his feet at the bottom, dragging himself weakly away, trying to find somewhere to rest for the night, ignoring the small trail of blood he was leaving. Eventually, exhaustion began to overpower him, and he fell back unconscious in the middle of nowhere - the blood still flowing out of the cut in his tail at a slow steady rate.
