Anyone else excited for this chapter? Whoo chapter 7 done now I'm going to take a break, enjoy! :D
Knife clinched the Night Fury's neck as the dragon continued to rocket into the sky, before finally leveling out. Knife still holding on to the dragon tightly her eyes clenched shut. After awhile she noticed they stopped climbing into the sky and opened her eyes. All around her beautiful clouds she leaned to her right placing her hand in the clouds letting it slip between her fingers.
"This is amazing. I've never flown this high before," Knife shouted happily. The Night Fury glided through the clouds with ease, Knife sat up and patted the Night Fury on her back. "This is great, do you mind if we go lower to see the island?" The Night Fury looked back at her and made a growl in agreement. "Just go easy I'm not tethered to you back here so don't try to kill me." The dragoness made her gurgling laugh the way Night Fury's do, and slowly ducked down below the clouds to the island. "Whoa..." The view of the island left Knife speechless. The island maybe not have been as big as Berk but still as beautiful. Most of the island covered in green with a few gaps of rock in between. A large beach that nearly wrapped around the entire island except for one are of an alcove surrounded by rock. "This place is incredible!" Knife screamed in delight. "You live here! That's incredible!...wait where exactly is here?" Knife stared down at the dragon who only shifted an eye to look at her but continued to glide around the island. When Knife spotted smoke on the South side of the island. "Hey what is that?" She patted the Night Fury," Hey girl can you go down there?" The female dragon obeyed and began to soar down to the smoke. The closer they got Knife noticed it was coming from a campfire in front of a small hut. That's when a boy stepped out of the hut to tend to his meal that was cooking over the fire. The Night Fury before landing at the campsite gave a small roar announcing her presence to the boy. The boy looked up and Knife stayed flat on the Night Fury's back to avoid being seen. "Who is that?" The boy walked over to the dragon.
"Hey Midnight how are you doing today girl," He said as he began to pet the dragon. Knife carefully slid off the dragon's back and was about to walk away and hide behind another rock. "You know I saw you," the boy continued to pet the dragon without looking at her. Knife froze and turned to look at him.
"Oh you did? Here I thought I was being pretty sneaky,"Knife commented.
"Hardly at all. I saw you before you and Midnight landed."
"Oh so her name is Midnight? Is she your dragon?" The boy stopped petting Midnight and began to laugh.
"No but you would think so right. She only stops by all the time to eat my food. No she's not my dragon, as for my dragon well I don't know he's around somewhere."
"Is he a Night Fury?" The boy stood back to see her.
"Who are you?" Knife gave him a puzzled look. Ignore my question why don't you.
"I'm Knife, but you didn't answer me."
"Haha yea he is a Night Fury. Though by the way my name is Gunner if you were wondering or just didn't care."
"Sorry it's just I've never seen another Night Fury beside Toothless before." Knife petted Midnight on her chin and the dragon fell to the ground purring.
"You named your dragon Toothless?" He looked at Midnight wondering if that was normal for a dragon to do after being scratched under the chin.
"Uh no Toothless is my dad's dragon. Umm Gunner where exactly are we?" Knife stepped away to stare at the ocean. Gunner started to laugh really hard, Midnight not entirely understanding mimicked Gunner's wild laugh. Gunner grabbed a fish that was roasting over the fire and handed it to Knife completely clueless she watched Gunner carefully,"What did i say something funny," She interrogated him.
"Well honestly I'm not entirely sure myself but after living on this island it reminds me of a bed time story my dad used to tell me."
"Can I ever get a straight answer out of you?"
"Hah no...no you can not. Though I will let you figure it out."
"Really? Fine can I ask questions until I guess right?"
"Knock yourself out." He said taking a bite of his cooked fish. Knife looked the boy up and down. His clothes torn and ragged and not to mention his lack of shoes. Well that's attractive. How long has he been here.
"So this island does it have more dragons?" She queried.
"Yes it does." He replied taking another bite Midnight watched him eat and quickly grabbed one of his fish. "Hey Midnight! Man that's not cool.."
"So where are they?" Knife asked. She looked at her fish. Gods know how long it's been since I've eaten. She took a bite. What in Thor's name! I never thought a fish could taste this good.
"They don't usually come out until night," He hinted looking at Midnight who had devoured the stolen fish and was eyeing another.
"Wait... are all the dragon's on this island Night Furies?"
"Correct. Fine Midnight you can have another but that's it." He told the dragoness who took note of his permission and grabbed another.
"If that's true than that means..."
"Yep, Welcome to Night Island."
