Chapter 9: Plan B
HiccWarr POV
I looked in the direction Darkwing left. He hasn't come back for his fish. It's mid-day. He said he would. Thor knows that Dragon doesn't kid about his fish. I began to worry. How do I know for sure that Darkwing didn't just leave with that female? I flew out of my cave and flew in the direction that Darkwing did. I looked down and looked at the trees as I passed them. Then, a brisk of fresh air brushed against my scales. White mountains of snow filled the Snow Fury territory. I could see it all from my position. I landed, but made sure not to pass the territory. I studied the ground. There were many foot prints on the same spot. I thought it was just Darkwing and his female. These are too many foot prints to be only two dragons. I looked over into the dirt and snow and saw a straight line. I've seen those types markings. Like when the other Night Fury's drag their prey on dirt. Something was dragged. I inhaled the air. I could sense Darkwing's scent along with other unknown dragons scent.
Why would there be more? Then, something in the corner of my eye caught my attention. A purple flower. I've used these kinds of flowers. This is a flower with such a strong scent, that you could faint and it temporarily drains your strength. These are very rare flowers that don't even grow on this island. The conditions would make the seed die before the flower would even begin to grow. Someone used it for that purpose. That means... Darkwing! I sniffed the line on the dirt where the drag markings were shown. It was a very faint, faint smell of Darkwing. My eyes widened. That means he was dragged. He was dragged deep into the Snow Fury territory. Not much time passed before I started flying furiously fast towards the caves. After I arrived, I landed into the biggest cave, and it wasn't mine. It was the Night Fury Alpha's cave. He heard my landing and quickly turned around. I bowed even though it hurt my hind leg. He smiled warmly but still with authority.
"HiccWarr," the Alpha said walking towards me. I stood up and faced him.
"Alpha, I need to tell you something urgent" I said. He nodded in order for me to proceed.
"I believe that Darkwing, has been captured by the Snow Fury's" I said. The Alpha is the only dragon here that actually knows and memorizes each and everyone of the Night Fury names.
"Darkwing? I remember him. His parents died in that hunting incident. But, why do you believe that he has been captured by Snow Fury's?" the Alpha asked concerned.
"I found evidence that he was dragged, I know it was him because of his scent. I also found a purple flower strong enough to make either of us faint. There were many foot-steps near the boundary" I explained.
"Did the Snow Fury's come through the caves to drag him back?" the Alpha asked.
"No Alpha. Darkwing was near the boundary, and I'm sure they dragged him from there" I replied.
"Why would he be near the boundary? Do you have any hard evidence, for example, did you see him get dragged?" the Alpha asked. I hesitated to say, I told Darkwing I wouldn't tell.
"Please Alpha. We need to check the Snow Fury territory" I said.
"HiccWarr, we cannot go if the only evidence you have is circumstantial" he said.
"Please! If we don't go, it could mean losing a Night Fury from your pack. Plus, you owe me that favor. Don't you remember what happened in battle 09?" I asked. That was the battle where I saved his life.
"What if he is not there?" the Alpha asked narrowing his eyes while being in pensive thought.
"Well... If he's not there, you can ban me from the territory" I said. His eyes widened in surprise.
"You're that sure about this?" he asked.
"Please, you have to trust me, like I trusted you" I said firmly.
"Very well, I will give you this chance. None of my Night Fury's are going to be captured, or banned. If you are wrong, you will not be banned, how ever, there will be consequences" he said.
"I'll take my chances" I replied.
"What are you assuming we do?" the Alpha asked raising his head up and sitting straight to symbolize his higher rank.
"We gather the crew"
Toothless POV
Some vines held me on the ground. Why does my body feel all weak? I can berely move my head. How the heck do they even get vines? There's took much snow for plants to be growing here. HiccWarr taught me that. I sighed. I hope he comes. In the mean time, I have to deal with this crazy Dragon. I decided that I hate Snow Fury's. Shadeswift being the exception. I wonder where she is. I looked over at the entrance and I'm being guarded by two male Snow Fury's. Once in a while I could see other Snow Fury's trying to take a peak at me. With my good hearing, I could make out all the words from their murmurs. I hid myself most of the time. Then, I heard shuffling, yells, and whisperes. With my ears raised, I turned my attention towards the noise.
"Let me see him!" a voice said. That was the unmistaken voice of Shadeswift.
"I'm afraid we can't let you" the Guards said.
"As your future Alpha, I should have authorization to enter that cave and see the prisoner. Just do me this favor, please?" Shadeswift said.
"I'm afraid not. The Alpha warned us about letting you see him" the Guards said.
"Fine. I'm going to have to apologize for my next actions" Shadeswift replied taking a step back. Before the Guards could even respond, snow-like fireballs were thrown and they were caught off guard (no pun intended.) Then Shadeswift clawed both of their face at the same time and before they hit the ground, she gave a powerful slap with her tail, knocking them out. Then she spotted me. Shadeswift glided towards me. She nuzzled me.
"That was impressive" I said grinning. She lightly laughed.
"Darkwing, you stupid Night Fury! I was worried about you. Look what you make me do for you" Shadeswift joked.
"I appreciate it, Shadey. So, what do you plan on doing?" I asked.
"No. WE'RE going to escape this island together. I really love you, Darkwing, I don't want to leave you" she said shyly with a red streak appearing on her face.
"You and me are going to be together always and forever" I said pressing my nose with hers. After, she began freeing me from the vines. I stated having hope that we'd bother get out of here. Suddenly, there were loud thumps in the cave entrance. Making themselves visable was Shadeswift's brother, some guards, and more vines.
"I had a feeling something like this would happen" he said with a sigh. He motioned the guards in the direction of Shadeswift. She looked like she was going to fight them. But, would the Guards fight her? Would her brother allow it? It didn't look like he was going to interfere any time soon.
"Shadeswift! Don't fight them" I demanded.
"Why?" she asked.
"Don't risk your life for me. Go, don't forget our plans" I demanded. With sad eyes, Shadeswift nodded and didn't fight. The guards came near her. I saw her search for an exit. She found one and flew out.
"Don't let her escape, go after her" her brother said. When nobody was looking, I began using my claws to cut the vines. It would take a while because of my drained energy. Shadeswift's brother looked at me with mild interest and began to leave.
"What a snob" I said. He stopped.
"What exaclty is a 'snob'?" he asked.
"You" I replied.
"What am I, then?" he asked.
"A snob" I replied.
"Forget it. It was pathetic wasting my breathe for you" he muttered walking away.
"No. Pathetic is, stooping to someone's level to try to get what you want" I said.
"Listen Night Fury, I demand more respect, especially since I'm not the one captured" he growled.
"Why would I respect you? You sent someone to go to Night Fury territory and CAPTURE me. You're not even my own Alpha, give one good reason why I should respect you?!" I asked. Then, I received a hard paw being swiped on my muzzle. My head turned and I growled as I felt drips of bloods go down. I snapped my head back to his direction and I glared at him. This anger that I have is bringing back my strength faster. I had enough strength to blow one powerful fire ball. So I did. The fireball made him crash into the cave walls. Before Shadeswift's brother could react, a Guard came in.
"Alpha, there are Night Fury's coming towards our territory!" the Guard said. My ears perked up. Night Fury's?
"Bring out best fighters, the rest of the Snow Fury's stay in their caves" Shadeswift brother replied. Both of them left leaving me alone. I used my teeth to rip the vines. Once I got them loose, I stood up and walked towards the entrance. I took a deep breathe. That was a lot of effort I put into my weary muscles. Now, where exactly do I go?
HiccWarr POV
"These Snow Fury's look like us, except, well, with white scales" a Night Fury said flying behind the Alpha and I. He and I were flying above the Snow Fury territory, along with other memebers of our pack. Not all of them, just the fighters.
"I've never see so much snow before!" another Night Fury exclaimed. I noticed some Snow Fury's going into their caves.
"They know we're here" I stated.
"Why are we exposing ourselves? We could of easily hidden and attacked" a Night Fury behind me said.
"We're not attacking, yet. We needed to get the attention of the Snow Fury Alpha" I said. Then, one of them shot a fireball into the snow.
"I think that should get his attention" the Night Fury that shot it said. I searched the ground to find any sign of Darkwing. I can't get his scent and he's no where on sight.
"There! That has to be their Alpha. You can see because he's standing in front of that whole group and by the way he's standing, symbolizes higher rank" the Alpha said.
"What do we do, Alpha?" the Night Fury in the back asked.
"We land" he replied.
Toothless POV
I attempted to fly, but my wings were a bit shaky. I'm grounded for a while. I flew down. I put my snout in the air searching for Shadeswift's scent. She seemed close. Like, if she was next to me.
"Who are you looking for?" a familiar voice asked. I turned to my right and Shadeswift was there. I smiled and nuzzled her.
"So many things are happening right now" I said.
"I know. I heard that there are other dragons on this territory" Shadeswift said.
"Yeah. They're Night Fury's. I'm sure that they're looking for me. My best friend must have figured where I am" I said.
"So, what happens now? Should we just leave?" Shadeswift asked. I sighed.
"It's a lot more complicated than that, Shadey. I can't fly at the moment. Plus, the Night Fury's from my pack are here, I can't abandon them here, while they're thinking I'm still on the island" I said. Her head went down. I could tell she was worried and sad.
"I'm sorry Shadeswift" I said gently.
"Things got so complicated. If you go with your pack, I won't see you again. I can't bear living without you anymore. You mean that much to me" Shadeswift said. Hearing her sadness made my chest throb.
"Y-you won't. I have an idea. You will continue to be hidden, while I go find my pack. One way or another, my Alpha's going to make sure that I get back to the Night Fury territory safely. Once I'm there, I'll tell my Alpha that I'm leaving as soon as possible and this time, YOU will wait for me at the boundary. Then we leave. All you have to do is stay hidden, and all I have to do is get to my pack" I said. Shadeswift pressed against my chest and closed her eyes.
"You know, we're making big sacrifices here" she said.
"I know, but it's for a good cause" I said. She lightly laughed.
"Darkwing, how much do I mean to you?" she asked. I smiled.
"Since the first time I saw you, you've taken up most of my heart" I said. I could see the same red streak on her again. I realized that we're wasting time here, but I just feel like I should comfort and reassure Shadeswift. I need to tell her this, just in case we get caught.
"Really?" she asked.
"Yeah. I sometimes think as if you're the sun and I'm the moon. You like to come out in the day, and I at night. You're eyes are bright like the sun, and I hide in shadows, like the moon hides behind the dark clouds. The moon and sun are so close to each other, yet they never get to see one another. Just like us. Until the eclipse forms. And for once, they finally meet-" I got cut off.
"Just like us" she replied.
"I swear to you, that everything will be fine" I said. Just then, I heard trees shake. Soon, Snow Fury's flew down and surrounded us.
"What do we do?" Shadeswift asked.
"Here's the chance to show off your impressive fighting moves" I replied.
Coming next chapter...
"We have decided something"
"What's that?"
"All Snow Fury's will leave this island. Forever"
"WHAT?!"
I had to cut this chapter since it was kinda long. I hope you like it, it took me a while. Stay tuned for the next chapter!
