Apparently that was enough for the nightmare to fly off. A nightfury is something he is not going to mess with. "H-H-Hi" the girl stuttered as the nightfury came close. It bared its teeth at her. If there's a child here then there are other vikings in this area. She turned to pick up her hatchling in her jaws only to find him missing.
She turned her head and found her son playing with a deadly nadder. She roared at her son to come back but he instead turned to the child. He gave her a gummy smile. "Huh, Toothless" Astrid said.
When the girl moved to pet the hatchling the mother tackled her. Astrid froze afraid for her life. The night fury felt something pull at her tail. It was the deadly nadder hatchling. She rolled her eyes about to swing her tail when she heard a whimpering. She turned towards her son.
He didn't like the way his mom was treating his new friends. She sighed before getting off the little girl and gently putting the deadly nadder off her tail. Then, her ears perked up. The sound of human footsteps and their weapons were near. She gave a tiny warning screech. She grabbed the hatching and ran off.
After the dragon ran off with her hatchling Astrid heard some gruff voices behind her. She turned to see some vikings entering a clearing. Stormfly tried to run towards Astrid but got caught in a net one of the men fired. Astrid quickly ran between Stormfly and the men. One of the vikings sneered. "Get out the way, brat".
Astrid shook her head stubbornly. "If you want to get her you have to go through me." she said getting into a fighting stance. The men laughed at her. "We should take her to the boss, he's going to love this" one viking said to another one.
As they approached her a warning screech pierced the air. "NIGHT FURY!" the men screamed before they were blasted and smoke filled the air. The vikings ran off screaming towards the edge of the island. The night fury watched as the men disappeared from sight. Her little hatchling was on top of her back poking his tongue out at the vikings before clambering down to see if his friends were okay.
He wagged his tail when he saw Astrid who was unharmed trying to free Stormfly from the net. He trotted over to him and let loose a small blast. The flames burned through the net and successfully freed Stormfly. Stormfly flapped her wings happy to be free before nuzzling Toothless's cheeks.
Astrid felt something breathing on her neck and turned to see the mama nightfury. The girl backed away at first but stopped once she saw the nightfury wasn't threatening her. She purred at Astrid apologizing for her behavior earlier. She thought the child was with the vikings that were hunting her.
However, she knew more were coming soon so she motioned for Astrid to follow her. She picked up her hatchling and went back to her part of the forest. She looked behind her to see Astrid picking up Stormfly. She waited until the girl was ready. Not noticing the pair of eyes that were following them into the forest.
Cloudjumper and Valka flew fast over the ocean. They heard from a few of the dragons that they saw an orange nightmare carry Stormfly and Astrid on their back. They saw a black dot from the distance gradually come closer.
It was the orange nightmare, Firefang. Cloudjumper growled before tackling him out the sky and flew toward a small island. He dropped him on the island causing the nightmare to get knocked unconscious and waited for him to get back up.
The nightmare woke up a minute later to an angry stormcutter in front of him.
"WHERE IS SHE" Cloudumper roared in his face. Valka stepped back at the veriocity of the roar. She has never seen Cloudjumper so angry. The nightmare looked at the ground ashamed. "I kinda left her…."
"WAIT, IM SORRY WHAT WAS THAT!"Cloudjumper roared at him.
The nightmare sighed. "I left her when I saw the night fury." Valka paled.
She had heard of nightfuries. In Berk they were one of the most dangerous dragons but they were near extinction now. She shook her head. She wasn't go to revert back to her old ways she had to give this dragon a chance. However, when she glanced back up at Cloudjumper he looked almost as scared as she was.
"Where is she!" Cloudjumper yelled at him a second time. The nightmare whimpered before pointed towards the way where he came from. "Keep going north, there is a big island with a crescent shape. That's where her and the deadly nadder is." Cloudjumper nodded before kneeling down to let Valka get on his back.
He flew at great speeds. If the rumor was true, that the nightfury had a hatchling. Then, the child would be in great danger. Cloudjumper felt Valka freeze on his back. He crooned and looked up at her. She glanced down at Cloudjumper with wide eyes. "I just realized I understand everything you're saying"
Hiccup moaned in frustration. Maybe he shouldn't have chosen the bow. It was a lot harder than it seemed. It showed from all the bows scattered across the ground.
Stoick could see is son getting frustrated. Even though he was going to make him the best warrior Berk has ever seen he didn't want to start to early. After all his son was only five, they began training when their 10. However, is son seemed to be persistent on starting today. He was brought back from his thoughts when he heard a cry of pain.
He looked up to see Hiccup's arm slashed. Hiccup started to cry. Stoick walked over to his son before bending down to inspect the injury. The cut wasn't that deep as he thought. He looked at son who was staring at him with glossy eyes.
"Vikings don't cry Hiccup and you are a viking." he said pointing to his helmet.
Hiccup wiped his face with his uninjured arm. "I'm a viking" he said as he stopped crying and stood up tall.
