The heat they felt from the fire was quickly whisked away. The trio opened their eyes in confusion. They heard a loud roar and looked to there left.
Fighting off the whispering deaths were Cloudjumper and Valka. With Valka's help Cloudjumper easily took down the three whispering deaths. They growled at them before digging a tunnel and fleeing.
Cloudjumper snorted "Cowards" he growled as he looked down at the tunnel they dug.
A quiet whimpering caught his attention. He saw the trio still holding on to each other with fear. His eyes widening at the sight of the baby night fury. He looked around the cave. The mother night fury was no where in sight.
Cloudjumper hoped she was okay. After Valka calmed them down she asked Astrid what happened. She was still a little shaken up but was able to describe the events that took place.
The nightfury was still whimpering a little bit. He turned to Cloudjumper. "Mama?" Cloudjumper inwardly flinched. He bent down to the little hatchling. "I'll go look for her, okay?" he said softly to the little hatchling. The little hatchling chirped happily before turning his attention back to his friends.
Cloudjumper exchanged looks with Valka. He sighed before flying out of the cave. He looked around the waterfall looking for some sort of clue when he heard a quiet moan.
He looked over to the side of the waterfall and saw a black figure. He quickly flew over to it and gasped at what he saw. Their were a bunch of bite marks and both of her wings were broken.
The nightfury blinked and looked at him. "I'll go get some help!" he yelled as he started to fly off.
"No." the nightfury said.
Cloudjumper froze and looked at her questionably. "Please, get my son" she said to Cloudjumper. Cloudjumper shook his head.
"I don't think he should see you like this." The nightfury looked up at him.
"Please"she said desperately almost begging. "I have to talk to my son." Cloudjumper looked at her for a second. "Fine…."he said reluctantly.
He flew back into the cave and asked the young night fury to get in his claws. Once he did he flew towards to where the hatchling's mother was and put him down. Before the young hatchling could sprint over to his mother Cloudjumper stopped him.
"I'm just going to warn you to be prepared for what you see" Cloudjumper said to Toothless. Toothless nodded. He had seen his mother banged up before so it wouldn't be that much of a surprise is she had a few scratches.
Cloudjumper then stepped out of the way so he could go to his mother. Toothless sprinted over to his mother. Toothless nudged his mother. "Come on get up, mommy. You promised you would take me fishing." he said excitedly pulling on her ears.
"Toothless…." she whispered. Toothless stopped as he finally took a look at his mother. His eyes started to water seeing her condition. This was the worse he had ever seen her.
"No, mommy. You'll be okay just get up." he said desperately as he started to cry. The nightfury smiled at her son.
"You'll be fine without me Toothless. You're a brave little hatchling. At least I can be with your father now." she said as she looked at her whimpering son.
"You'll grow up to be one of the strongest and smartest dragons, Toothless. " she said as her son looked at her.
"Use your strength to protect your love ones, Toothless. Your father and I will always watch over you" she said as the edges of her vision started to turn black. She turned her head to Cloudjumper.
"Take good care of him" she said as her breaths started to get slower.
"I love you, Toothless".
"I love you too, mommy" he said as he laid down next to her and put his head under hers.
They laid down enjoying each others company as she started to close her eyes. When she stopped breathing, Toothless nudged her. Once he relizead she wouldn't get up. He started to wail.
The cry was heard from deep within the cave. Stormfly and Astrid ran/flew out the cave trying to find Toothless. Valka ran behind them trying to catch up. When they made it out of the cave they both jumped through the waterfall-neither caring about getting wet. Astrid looked around for Toothless and saw him near his mother's body.
She gasped before running towards the little hatchling. Astrid picked him up and he turned so he could cry into her shoulder. Stormfly chirped in sadness and nuzzled Toothless. Valka and Cloudjumper looked sadly at the trio. They weren't going to leave him here. Those whispering deaths might try to come back and get him.
Cloudjumper gave off a quiet chirp which got the little hatchlings attention. He gestured ot his back and chirped again. Astird picked up the whimpering Toothless and carried him on Cloudjumper's back.
Stormfly followed closely behind still chirping worriedly at Toothless. Valka climbed on after them and they flew back to the direction of the sanctuary.
