The sound of a snap was heard followed by the grumble of something small, the soft yet deep grumbles of something large mixing with it could be heard in the small forest clearing. Inhaling sharply a large vibrant green, cat-like eye snapped open, the pupil shrank to that of a slit. Head snapping up, Sunflower looked around in alarm, not recognizing her surroundings at all.
'Wha... where...'
The sound of a bird chirping drew her attention up, her gaze looking up at the tall trees that surrounded her. Most looked dead or sick, long dark trunks that had a few branches before stretching into a canopy of leaves or pine needles; if they had any at all. There were some bushes and grass around, but mostly it was rocks and dirt, with roots and fallen trees littering the ground.
A sheen of fog made things seem darker than it should, or maybe it was just that way naturally.
One thought stood out amongst the jumbled thoughts running throughout her head: This was not her home.
Exhaling, a puff of smoke left her nostrils like curly wisps of one's breath on a cold winter morning. A small growl left her throat as she inhaled again, noting how nothing smelled the same. She knew that this wasn't her home because unless she happened to be in part of the cold dragons' territory, it was never this cold or dark, not even after a storm it wasn't. It was at the sound of another low grumble that Sunflower remembered she wasn't all that alone; memories of what happened the night before came flooding back, sending a low growl rumbling throughout her chest. Suddenly very aware of another presence closely pressed up beside her, the Sun Fury nearly had a heart attack upon turning her head where she saw the large black mass lying beside her.
'Him!' A growl bubbled up in the back of her throat a how close he was to her. She didn't like it when dragons she barely knew or trusted got close to her, and since he was more than close to her, she was ready to kill him. Eyes narrowing into tiny slits, Sunflower felt her lips curling up over her sharp white teeth in a small growl like-snarl, narrowed eyes locked directly on the male who lied unconscious on his side. Letting out a small hiss, Sunflower tried too snap away from him only to get nowhere when her wings wouldn't budge, a searing pain shooting through her left wing.
"Gahh!" Crying out at the pain, she looked down to see that the male was laying directly on top of it, crushing it to the point that it actually felt numb the more she focused her attention on it. Unintentionally jerking back, she let out another cry of pain. "Ahh... M-my wing!"
No. No, no, no, no, no. No! This... this was bad! How was she supposed to get away now?! She couldn't just sneak off now without the stupid male waking up! She had to get free. Now! What if a human found them?! She'd be dead! Deader than dead! Clenching her teeth, Sunflower tried to tug again only to have the same result as the last; a sharp pain followed by a strangled cry like yelp. She was a bit panicked now. Her wing was pinned, and from the looks of it, it severely damaged or possibly broken. Leaving her grounded on an island that was infested with humans and an idiot male Fury!
SHE DIDN'T LIKE THIS!
Getting a bit twitchy, Sunflower tried to pull again. She'd rather drag around a broken wing and hide in a cave of treetop then stick around with this idiot buffoon! It was because of him she was here in the first place! Growling, she began to trash a little, maybe she could wake him just a bit so he'd move. Once her wing was free she'd then worry about her binds hopefully be able to run off without any human or buffoon interference where'd she would find a place to hide until her wing healed. 'Come on! Get off! Get off!'
As she moved part of her plan actually worked!
The Night Fury did, in fact, move but not as much as she would have liked as her wing was still pinned underneath him. How was this thing still asleep?! Like sure, Sunflower could be a deep sleeper at times but she usually woke up when someone started poking her - this buffoon should have bloody woken up from her thrashing about! Just to add to her growing aggravation, it was then that she also took note of the strange-looking vines that were tightly wrapped around her and the male's bodies. WHAT?! Oh, come on! first the dumb black idiot, then her wing and now this! The world must truly hate her.
Gritting her teeth she tried to reach for one of the vines to try and bite it in half but failed in doing so when she realized that it was done farther then she had expected. Moving her shoulder up she tried once more with a vine that rested tauntingly on her shoulder but failed in that attempt as well. The pressure on her left-wing having pinned her down from any kind of major movement. OK, so that wasn't going to work, not unless the bumbling fool moved off her wing.
Face dropping into a glare that could possibly fry some trees if it were possible, the Sun Fury actually wished she had killed the male. At this point, she gave less than two giant dragon droppings about him being the last Night Fury or some well trained Shiftslaver, if she had killed him she wouldn't be stuck like this and probably would've just been entering the borders of her beloved home right about now.
'You can always still kill him,' That vile little voice of evil in the back of her brain sang. 'Kill him now and you won't have any troubles.' For once, that part of her conscious was actually right. Letting out a growl, Sunflower felt the familiar burn of a Plasma Shot bubbling to life when she heard the sound she had been dreading.
The sound of a human.
Nose twitching she raised her head and smelled the air, catching the scent of the creature that placed her in this position - well, one of them. A small growl left her as she heard a groan and irritated squeaks coming from the hill to her left.
This wasn't good. This was horrible. Th-this went against everything she was trained for! It was a rule that dragons from the army ranks of her home were not allowed to be around humans or let them see you. If one saw you-you were supposed to kill it, otherwise you were in the suspension if you weren't banished or killed.
As controlling as that sounded, those were the rules and they've kept everyone safe from the human world and dragons that wished to do harm. If you went by them, then it was a happy life unless you were Sunflower and still somehow found a way to screw up even though you tried your best to follow them - though she did intentionally break the rules, she was a bit of a rebel after all.
A few trees and branches were broken and lying on the ground beside a deep dragged out crater that ended more so at the top of the hill, it must've come from the two Furies after they crashed to earth the night before. Rocks surrounded the bottom, mostly acting as a small barrier around them as it led back to larger rocky walls and an opening of sorts.
Another crack was heard and the Sun Fury knew the human was coming from that direction, making Sunflower's heart stop for a second.
What if the thing was looking for them? What if it finds them and kills them?!
Squishing herself lower behind the Night Fury she stretched her hearing in an attempt to pinpoint just how close the two-legged meat stick was to her location. If push came to shove she was going to break her wing and sacrifice the stupid male Fury so she could get away; she wasn't fond of the male if her attempted murder was anything to go by earlier, her feelings of hatred towards him only deepened even more as he was the reason she was about to be discovered by a human. As stated before, she didn't care if he was the last Night Fury alive - as far as she was concerned, there could actually be more Night Furies out there that were just hiding so they don't get slaughtered much like the Furies and other dragon species of her island.
If it really came down to it, she'd kill the human as well.
Her ear-like antennas twitched as she picked up a small squeaky-sounding voice, eyes narrowing as she listened.
"- Uggh, the gods hate me. Some people lose their knife or their mug. No, not me. I manage to lose not one, but two entire dragons!" The voice exclaimed obviously upset, followed by a loud WHACK like sound and yelp of pain. "Gahh!"
Sunflower froze in her spot, eyes dilating in a feral manner and some fear as she realized he was just on the other side of the mini hill. Sinking lower to the ground, she tried to curl into herself so she could fit behind the Night Fury without being seen; sadly, her red coloring was not working in her favor as one could still make out the form of the young dragoness.
'Why couldn't he be a little useful and be a bit bigger?!' Sunflower roared mentally. 'Just a couple inches bigger and I'd be invisible!'
Closing her eyes she tried to even out her breathing to appear asleep, wanting to take the thing by surprise if he tried anything. It was always best to try and catch your opponent by surprise, it threw them off the game giving enough time to kill or getaway. Despite her thoughts, she unintentionally flinched with every step and crack that signified the human's approach. One, no matter how violent and bold in nature, could truly ever be fully prepared deep down when it came to facing something they've never seen or met before. Tensing, she listened as rocks and gravel slid and tumbled down the hill as a loud startled gasp could be heard at the same time the Night Fury let out a grumble.
'Shut up!'
She heard more gasps and the sound of metal sliding out of something, creating a 'shing' like sound as it scraped across something else. She bit back the forming growls that rattled in her throat, every muscle in her body tensing and every instinct yelling for her to run away or just kill and get it done with, just kill the creature before he can even strike.
'No,' she cuddled closer to the male. 'Wait until he tries anything on you.'
A body skidding down the hill followed by a thump and running feet had Sunflower flinching once again; the human was close, far to close for her liking. The sudden tensing of the Night Fury beside her told her he was now awake and alert, his eyes remaining closed in a false illusion of unconsciousness; she knew that he was also very aware of her presence, her form all but glued to his back as he pressed back a little bit.
The two tensed in a barely noticeable movement as the creature approached.
The boy peeked out from behind the rocks in utter amazement.
Excitement filled his being as he gazed upon the mighty beast that was feared in his village and every other colony Berk has come across. The offspring of Lightning and Death itself, the mighty Night Fury. And... oh. Oh! Dear gods! He caught the Night Fury! And after nobody believed him when he told everyone he shot it down. Yet here he was, standing beside the majestic beast; the first human to ever get this close to one in years! If he can just kill it now, he might be able to prove his worth to his village, to his father. He'd be respected and looked upon as a somebody instead of being known as the great Stoick the third's wacky no-good son. He might be able to even get a girlfriend, Astrid Hofferson to be exact, the most popular and skilled and most beautiful girl on Berk.
The fiery blonde spitfire that he had been drooling after for years now.
Much to the dislike of his only friend in the village. His friend constantly told him that it wasn't worth killing a dragon to get Astrid's attention if that's the only way and reason why she'd even be with him or notice him; a relationship where she took interest in him only because of his sudden popularity wasn't worth it.
He ignored his friend though; if he got with Astrid she'd eventually develop a feeling for him at some point... Right? But that wasn't important now, what was bringing back evidence to his village that he had shot down the Night Fury and killed it. The key to the respect and fame he so longed desired for, or that's what he believed...
So now as he stared at the black beast, Hiccup felt every emotion that had to do with pride and happiness and... sadness?
The dragon lied on his side, wing suspended in the air as the bola he shot the previous night wrapped around its wings and tail. Its eyes closed as soft groans left it. It rather small, a lot smaller than he had though the terrible menace of would be, maybe that's why it was so fast. A smaller frame equaled faster speed, whereas bigger meant stronger. But Hiccup could still see the muscle on the dragon, indicated it must have been a male while the other one that showed up was smaller and much slimmer in build, indicating it was a-
"-Female..." He breathed out, suddenly remembering the other Fury. "Where's the other one?"
Looking around, Hiccup felt a stab of panic. Please, for the love of Thor, don't tell him he lost the other one! That would've defiantly worked in his favor. A new, unknown Night Fury with such a unique coloring - no other dragon that he's seen since being alive has had a shade of red like that. Eyes scanning around, he searched for any signs of another crash. Anything that signified the other Fury was near.
"Come on," He muttered. "Where are you?'
Stepping forward, he glanced around once more before a flash of red caught his attention. Glancing back at the Night Fury he saw the thing that had caught his attention; a red wing was sprawled out on the ground under the black dragon. One that had an almost similar make as the Night Fury's. Following the wing with his eyes, he caught a small glimpse of red hidden the mass of black.
"Oh, thank goodness," He breathed, inching forward to peek over at the creature that appeared to be unconscious still, much like the black Fury. "That would've been horrible if I lost you... you are a strange-looking Night Fury, not that I would know what Night Furies look like, these are my first ones ever..." He paused in his ramble, eyes widening once more.
"... Wait, I'm the first successful person to see these beasts! To bring them down!" He gasped. "I did it! This fixes everything! Yes! I have brought down these mighty beasts!"
Sunflower tensed as she heard the 'shing' from early. Commanding herself to stay still, she listened as he drew closer, the boy placed one foot the Night Fury's shoulder in an almost victory, but that's when it decided it was going to reveal that it was awake. Shoving the human child away with a loud growl like grunt; alert to the world.
"Whoa!" Hiccup slammed into the rock behind him, panting in surprise and sudden fear.
The Night Fury panted in almost labored breaths, the point pointing his knife in front of him as he once again edged forward. The dragon couldn't hurt him, it was still tied up and utterly useless. Sunflower peeked her eyes open, letting out a tiny growl which had the boy jumping and looking over at her, making her close her eye quickly.
'Stupid human,' She crooned. 'Didn't bother to check and see if I was fully pinned by these vines.' Sure, one wing and her legs might've been tangled up, but they were loose enough for her move her neck and attack as well as whip her tale about.
The Night Fury opened his eye to stare at the boy coldly. The boy tried to look away but was drawn back to its unnerving, unflinching stare of the creature, tilting his head a little in slight curiosity as he watched the dragon move back slightly onto the female as if in an attempt to shield it from their impending doom.
'Is it... protecting the other Fury?' The human gulped as he seemed to shake while he nervously looked at the two creatures, licking his lips with small gulps as the Night Fury let out a small whine and groan.
So this was his fate?
Meet another Fury, a female at that, only to be shot down and then killed by a small meat stick? It was pathetic and sad, really. A mighty feared dragon such as himself being brought down by a bunch of vines then killed by a child. It was almost sickening and pride damaging.
"Go on human," He said even though the boy couldn't hear him. "Just end my life already instead of standing there looking stupid. I can't believe my killer is this tiny thing..."
Sunflower growled as she heard this. She couldn't believe it either! Because of this idiot, they might both be killed by the scrawny wealing of a human child! "Would you shut up!" She hissed, making the boy jump once more, almost freezing when he saw her vibrant eye staring at him. "It is because of you we are stuck like this and are about to be killed, you dumb idiot!"
"Really-"
The human's talking cut off their telepathic conversation. "-I'm going to kill you, dragon. I"m gonna..." He maneuvered his knife high in the air, blade pointing down. "I'm gonna cut out your heart and take it to my father. I'm a Viking. " Closing his eyes as he mumbled before reopening them. "I'm a VIKING!"
"Humans..." The Night Fury groaned. "... Come on. Just do it! Not like I have anything to live for."
Sunflower wanted to say something but decided against it as the boy glanced up at her. Lifting her head slightly, the female dragon and human seemed to have a staring contest before she glared and turned her head stubbornly, nose tilting up slightly.
She could feel her chest burning with the build-up of fire that tried to shove its way up her throat to roast the human on the spot. No. It wasn't the time just yet. Closing her eyes, she let out a deep breath. 'Stay calm. Stay calm. Don't pull a rookie hatchling move and toast the human just yet.'
The Night Fury was the next one to stare into the human's eyes; a look of everything Hiccup felt reflected in its own. Loneliness, slight fear, the need to prove one's self and to be excepted among the other dragons like Hiccup wanted to be excepted among the humans, and strength. It was like looking in a mirror.
'I can do this...' Hiccup though with heavy breaths, watching the Night Fury copy the actions of the female with closing its eyes and lowering its head. 'I can...' His hands were shaking even more now as he clenched his eyes, held the knife tighter and higher, only to let out a deep sigh. '... I can't.'
"I did this," Hiccup says as he dropped his arms, backing away with sudden regret. Was taking a life, two at that, actually really worth popularity? The thing he really wanted? He... He wasn't sure; a part of him screamed yes! Do it! But... he couldn't. Moving to turn, he froze and looked back at the two dragons, lips pressed. As much as he wanted to be seen, be heard, get the girl of his dreams, he couldn't do it this way...
The Night Fury's eyes snapped open as something gripped and pulled at the rope that pinned his front legs. Looking down he saw the human was cutting away at his ropes. Sunflower, having felt the jolt from the male, opened her eyes and looked over, her own gazing locking onto the boy who was cutting away at the ropes with a burning intensity.
Tilting her head, curiosity filled her. Was he... letting them go?
Hiccup tried to hurrying up now that he had the attention of both dragons on him. It was unnerving and made him want to freeze up. It was one thing being close to such a feared dragon while it looked so defeated, but now that he had them both staring at him with such keen interest. He knew he was stupid, these things could turn on him the minute they were free. But here he was, cutting the Night Fury free and with every cut rope came a loosened limb.
Noticing a rope intertwined with the other Fury's in a slight tangled mess he stood up and slowly made his way around the male and towards the female who watched him move with intelligent calculating eyes. Hiccup froze slightly as he got a look at her, even in the dim morning lighting she was a rather pretty dragon but at the same time dealy looking. With another gulp, he moved closer to her, her low drawn-out growl sending a chill of vibrating fear down his spine.
"Yes human, cut the two dragons free. You are... incredibly stupid if not brave," She purred out as she felt the vines beginning to loosen around her as the boy cutaway, seemingly quickening at her malicious sounding purr. The male let out a grumble of agreement as the human moved back around to cut the last rope.
The second it was cut, the Night Fury pounced. In a split second blur, he was upon the boy, pinning him to the rock while just barely grazing his scrawny neck with his claws. "Foolish human!" He roared, watching the boy pant heavily; the human just reeked of fear and it pleased him. The human should be very afraid. The sudden attack had left the boy with a cut along his cheek from the claws the grazed it, blood dribbling down from it with a sting but neither focused on that.
While this happened, Sunflower shook off her own cut vines, letting out a small cry as she lifted her wing up to examine it, only to drop it from the pain. Hissing, she clenched her teeth and looked. Nothing appeared to be broken, thankfully, the only thing that caused her pain was when she pulled it out, which was probably due to how it was crushed and more than likely bruised under the skin somewhere. But the Night Fury himself wouldn't have been enough to cause the bruising, so the real damage causer must have from when she collided with that tree they hit on upon crashing into the forest last night, it only got worse by being crushed by the male upon landing.
'At least it's not broken,' She moaned as pain shot through her. 'I'm just not going to be able to fly as far and long as I'd like with the damage done.'
The heavy breathing and whimper that left the human drew her attention towards the two.
The Night Fury seemed to be staring down the human with an intense wolf-like stare that probably would've sent chills down anyone's spines. The paralyzed boy slowly opened his eyes to meet the dragon's, freezing almost at the intensity as it let out deep growling breaths. He was scared. Hiccup felt like his heart was going to pound out of his chest at any moment, especially as it curled its claws deeper into his vest. But with a bravery that seemed to impress both dragons, the human maintained the staredown.
"Ah-haa..." He glanced down at the claws before back into the Night Fury's eyes.
Sunflower felt something bubble up within her as she watched the scene before her; eyes remaining on the boy. As much as her she wanted to kill him, every fiber in her body screaming for her to do so, it didn't seem fair to kill him. He didn't kill them and had ended up setting them free. An action she was sure would put him in grave trouble with his human flock. 'I have to kill him, it's the rule of my home, especially with me being a Fury - actually, I'll have to kill everyone on the island since they have seen me.' But... she couldn't. That many lives to take, even if they were two-legged tyrants. And she felt some sense of honor at the moment, suppressing the urge to slay the human where he stood. He had a chance to kill them but instead, he freed them, for that she would let him, and his kind, live... for now. The only one she would automatically kill if she saw him would be that one she saw beheading the Nadder. 'But I'm not at home... so what Deathslayer doesn't know can't be harmful, right? ugh... I'm going to regret this...'
"Set him free," She spoke before she could change her mind, feeling disgusted with herself.
"What?" The Night Fury rumbled loudly, seeping his eyes on the human who squirmed. "He shot us down! Tried to kill us!"
Was she crazy?! She has to be!
"I know what he did! And dear moon I want to kill the thing, it isn't right!" She growled, making the boy glance at her briefly. "He did not kill us. He set us free, an action that will lead him to enough trouble if his flock finds out!" She paused, taking a deep breath. "Let the human go!"
"So you're willing to try and strangle me even though I did nothing but you're willing to let the human, who was going to stab me through the heart, go? The creature who is of the things that kill our kind off with no remorse?!" The Night Fury roared, tightening his grip on the human who seemed to pale even more.
"Need I repeat myself?! He set us free! He set us free, something the other humans wouldn't have done! Look, I want to kill him but I'm willing to let that bend that idea as repayment for letting us live and go!" She roared back before adding mentally. 'And besides you that you are the reason we got caught!'
The Night Fury grumbled as he took in her words. She was right... The human bravely did a foolish action, something he had to admit was a little heartwarming as the other meat sticks would've just killed him. Glaring at the boy, he made his decision. Raising his wings slightly, the Night Fury takes in a deep breath with a growl before letting out a loud rattling roar straight into the boy's face.
Hiccup flinched and turned his head as the Night Fury let him go, its legs pounding into the ground once on either side of him.
Almost instantly, the Night Fury took off after its roar, leaving the boy to scamper up and watch as it clumsily glided into the mountainside before disappearing into the mist where another crash sounded. Hiccup let out a shaky breath, sure that he was paler than a sheet of paper as a lighted feeling overcame him.
"You are most fortunate I'm defying every urge to kill you right now," Another growl had him freezing up and glancing over to see the red dragon slowly approaching; almost slinking until it stood before him where it then straightened up tall and proud. It's startling green eyes racked over him before landing on his cut cheek. Hiccup suddenly felt the pain, letting out a hiss that had the dragon tilting its head. Leaning closer, she flared her wings slightly - ignoring the jolt of pain - and channeled the small rays of the sun the peeked through the tree. Taking a deep breath, she moved her head closer to the boy's face, ignoring his sharp intake and sudden statue pose.
Exhaling, she sent a small orangey-gold colored blow of air at the cut, watching as it mended the skin. The boy jumping at the slight warmth and sudden tingle. Once it was healed, Sunflower stood back and stared at him.
"Don't think I like you-you stupid human. I'm just repaying a debt," She bared her teeth while backing up. "And don't make me regret letting you live, human," With that and a powerful flap of her wings, she was in the air and shooting towards the area the Night Fury went. Hiccup stood there, watch as she faded from view before slowly bringing his hand up to his cheek. He nearly jumped as he felt perfectly smooth skin, no signs of a cut being there.
"H-how...?" He stuttered before everything came crashing down.
Hiccup turned and took a few steps before a strangled sound left him and he fell to the ground unconscious.
Sunflower found herself falling once again.
The pain in her wing intensifying with each stroke as she tried to fly higher. With a sudden snap, she found herself falling towards the cove where a familiar black mass stood angrily roaring and growling, unaware of the incoming female until she let out a roar. Whipping around, the Night Fury only had time to widen his eyes before the female crashed into him, sending the two falling back into a series of rolls before they skid to a halt.
"Oww..." Came her moan from on top of the male.
"You okay?"
"Yeahhhh-Gahhh!" Sunflower jumped back as she came face to face with the male. Scampering back, she sent him a glare. "-You!"
Moving to stand up on his own, the Night Fury sent her a look. What did she mean by that? She had just seen him like a moment ago. Blinking, he stared at her. "Uh, yeah. Me?" He paused. "Why do you sound so surprised? You saw me land here you crazy female!"
"You..." Letting out a growl, she crouched slightly. "... You are the reason I'm stuck here!"
"What-" His sentence was cut off as the female pounced at him with a growl. The two went tumbling back again as she Sun Fury proceeded to pin him and wack him on the head with one paw while pressing down on his throat with the other. At the moment, though it was tempting, she held back as she didn't want to kill him or be stuck alone, she settled with the idea of just wacking his brain back into place. Trying to wack her paw away, he let out a growl of his own. "S-stop! What is it with you and strangling?!"
"You-" Whack. "Are-" Another whack. "Are the reason I'm stuck here!"
"What?" He growled, flipping her over with great strength. "How is that my fault?"
"Grr! Because you're the one who grabbed me before the human shot those vines at us!" Sunflower tried bitting at his face, the Night Fury moving his face at the last second.
"How was I supposed to know he was going to do that? I was focused on taking out that catapult and need I remind you that you tried to kill m-Ow! Stop!"
Sunflower just let out a growl as she bit down on his leg, glaring darkly before letting go as he yanked it free. "You should've been paying closer attention, featherbrain!" She hissed, "Most can do that unless they are stupid. Which I'm assuming you are."
"I'm not-" The male frowned before bearing his teeth. "I'm not stupid. Usually, I AM more aware, I was just in shock of seeing another Night Fury-Whoa!"
Kicking him off, Sunflower froze before frowning, eyes lingering on the male. "... Night Fury? I'm not a Night Fury."
The male looked at her with an expression that clearly stated she was crazy, his eyes roaming over her frame in confusion. "Uh, yeah you are. How else would you look like me?"
Stretching her good wing, she sighed. "Because I'm a different kind of Fury; I'm a Sun Fury."
It was silent for a moment, making her glance over briefly. "Sun Fury?" He echoed a moment after the shock faded slightly. "There are other Furies? How?" Rolling her eyes, she dropped her wing and glanced around. There were rocky walls that looked almost impossible to climb, a small cave on one side and a large pond in the middle that had a waterfall at one end. It kind of reminded her of home. "Obviously you idiot, otherwise I wouldn't have denied being a Night Fury," She snapped, choosing to not tell him about the others as she didn't trust him. "Dear moon! Have you been taught anything?! And the reason I tried to kill you is because I had thought that you were a no-good Shiftslaver who took the form of a Night Fury - a breed, mind you, that is supposed to be dead."
"There's shifter dragons?!"
Sunflower flinched at the yell, hissing as the male moved closer. "Yes, and they are a pain in the butt but powerful none the less, especially if they mixed with the stupid ability onto the main question, are there other Night Furies out there?" She awaited the answer to her question, figuring it out automatically when sadness and anger crossed over his features. "... No. I'm the last."
"Oh..." She strangely felt a little guilty for asking, but she had to. Clearing her throat, she decided to be a little nice and try to comfort him. "If, uh, if it makes you feel any better, I'm the last Sun Fury left."
'And I mean the last unless I find a suitable male to breed with. But even then it is useless because they'd be hybrids and not full Sun Furies...'
When she didn't get a reply, Sunflower let out a sigh and started towards the cave. She knew it must've been hard. To see her and think she was a Night Fury, only to find out she wasn't, she would be the same way if she hadn't gotten used to it by now. Maybe it was a good thing she decided to keep the other Furies a secret, it'd probably make the matter worse. Making her way into the cave, Sunflower shot a blast of fire at the ground before curling up in the spot. Might as well sleep, there was nothing better to do. Closing her eyes, she let the quietness settle over her until-
"- At least I have another Fury; it's better than being alone," The sudden snuggle into her side had her snapping awake.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"
