Chapter 2 Death in the ranks
-Thunk-

"Arg!" Sam yelled as he threw another dagger into the tree where his others were wedged, missing the tree completely "OH COME ON!" he shouted causing Silverwings to jerk her head up at her boy's sudden outburst
What are you doin' up so late dark one? a certain terrible terror asked Silverwings as he landed next to the said night fury
My boy's angry. she replied simply We've been here since the sun died. I just wish that I could do something more for him. And shouldn't you be in bed?
As should you. the terror answered But my master and the alpha went on a night flight. And the master's mate snores loudly.
-scoffs-Well at least mine doesn't snore.
Yeah. laughed the terror You and your master still sleep together! HA!
Sharpshot! How dare you speak of him like that! Silverwings screeched My boy's family was murdered! He needs comforting most nights!
It's still weird. Sharpshot commented quietly
You're one to talk. I've heard form Toothless and Stormfly that you've slept with your master many, many nights in the past. So for you to say that it is strange that I sleep with my boy in my wings, you are no more than a stupid hatchling! Silverwings commented coldly
Only when he's hurt and wounded! Any other night I sleep on my perch. Sharpshot screeched back
"Silverwings?" a sad voice said from in front of the dragons. To which Silverwings stood and walked over to her boy with a reassuring grunt
"Hey girl." Sam said as he placed his hand upon her snout "What do you say we go home."
Have fun snuggling. Sharpshot said, receiving a glare from Silverwings Ooooo. What? Are you mad at me? he joked as she shot a small plasma bolt at his feet causing Sharpshot to leap into the air with a shout and fly off.
"Silverwings." Sam said as he mounted "There wasn't any need for that. What did Sharpshot possibly do wrong?"
Silverwings just smiled to herself as she thought on how much Sharpshot did deserve that. And that her rider wouldn't have understood the dialog between the two dragons. Oh how much she longed to be able to talk to Sam in a full out conversation. But that's not possible….is it…?
"Aaahhh!" Leif screamed as he cut down yet another Outcast solder "Press on! We must hold them off!"
"Oh, I don't think so." A voice said from behind the Berserker leader
"Alvin." Leif spat out as he turned around to confront the Outcast chief "You will die tonight Alvin. You. Will. Die."
"Correction pig." Alvin shot back "You. Shall. Die." and with that, he lunged at Leif whom parried perfectly
"On the contrary Alvin," Leif said in the midst of swings "you are the pig. Why, you even look like one with your pot belly!"
Enraged by this, Alvin called for his solders to surround Leif to prevent him from escaping
"Oh, Alvin." Leif said as he looked around "Not playing it fair anymore. Are we?"
"Nope." Alvin responded as he swung his sword in a powerful swing, knocking Leif's sword from his hand
"Hahahaha." Alvin laughed as he spun around and drove his sword into the chest of a Berserker that was sneaking up behind Alvin "Savage. Kill Erickson." he said as he looked at the man whom he just killed
"With pleasure." Savage responded as he approached Leif, raised his ax above Leif's head. And just as he was bringing the ax down, he jerked his head back and screamed in pain before he fell to the ground dead. With a dagger sticking out of the back of his neck.
"Savage!" Alvin screamed as Markus, raced forward and confronted Alvin
"Leif! The ax!" Markus screamed as he parried with Alvin again
Grabbing the ax, Leif plunged it into one of the Outcast solders that was standing next to him before he heard a scream of pain from Alvin's direction. He then saw as Alvin withdrew his sword from Markus' stomach, and charged Leif.
Filled with a new re-found rage, Leif charged Alvin, dodged his blow, and smacked Alvin's head with the flat side of the ax. Knocking him out immediately.
Seeing Alvin crumble to the ground, Leif rushed over to his wounded friend who was still gasping for air.
"Leif…" Markus said weakly "Promise me you will keep your word and lead the men to Berk."
"I will Markus. I will." Leif said "But you cannot die on me. Y-you need to stay alive. We need you. I need you. You're like a brother to me, and I can't let you die."
"Leif." Markus said as he placed his bloody hand on Leif's shoulder "You…need…to…g'…"
"Markus? MARKUS!"
Oh, no…
