The fire on Night Island continued on for hours, Hiccup and Knife stood back watching helplessly there was nothing that could be done the fire had eaten up most of the island when they got their. All they could do was wait and hope they could find out what happened here. Though Knife and Hiccup were sure who had done it. It was only a matter of why, when and what took place on the island. Worry and sadness began to tug at Knife's mind and she processed what was happening. How could this have happened. How could the Berserkers have found out about the island... Are the Night Fury ok? Tears began to fall from Knife's cheek. This is my fault if I hadn't been so stupid and gotten lost...If I hadn't met Gunner would the island been safe from Dagur...No, maybe not...Who knows how long it would have been before Dagur found Gunner here on the island...We only sped up the process...After hours of burning the fire had finally gone out. The island was left as a pile of ash, all the green now black the only thing that went unchanged were the rocks and mountain. Everything is gone except the beach we stand on and piles of rock...Wait...rock?...The mountain!
"Dad we have to go to the mountains and find the caves!"Knife shouted startling Hiccup.
"Why?"Hiccup aked.
"Because the Night Fury live in the caves, the fire wouldn't have been able to reach them. Which means it's possible that they could be still alive somewhere inside the mountain."
"Well than let's go!"
They got on their dragons and headed for the caves. All at the base of the mountain were many openings, Hiccup and Knife flew into the largest one. The caves were dark, every so often there would be light pouring in from crevices in the mountain but for the most part it was black. Hiccup and Knife dismounted from the dragon's the two Night Fury would give light to alow Knife to find a stick in which Scar carefully lit for her. Hiccup picked up another stick and lit it from Knife's torch. There were no other openings around them so they continued forward deeper into the mountain. They searched for about an hour or so and still found nothing there were traces that Night Fury had been there at some point but they haven't been for a while.
"Dad what if I was wrong and they aren't here. What if they were taken or maybe..."Knife paused unable to finish her sentence. Hiccup wrapped his arm around her.
"Hey these are Night Fury we are talking about. They won't go down so easily, if anything maybe they were captured. I know that they weren't in the caves when the fire was going. Maybe someone might be here." Hiccup said than took a deep breath before making a growling noise. Knife wasn't entirely sure what it was.
"Dad what are you doing,"Knife asked.
"I'm calling to any Night Fury that may be in the cave. I learned how to do it when I was your age. In fact once you get into a more advanced class you will be practicing call as well." Hiccup explained to his daughter and continued his calls. Nothing called back Knife's head dropped. We probably won't find a single dragon here... Than a dragon roared back, the roar was small but echoed off the walls to them. Soon more dragons joined in, all the same small roars not like the roars Toothless and Scar make. The dragons ears perked up and they got excited, Knife smiled and climbed back on Scar. Scar flew toward the noise leaving Toothless and Hiccup behind, when they reached the source a large light from above made Knife's eyes have to readjust. She looked up and Moonlight poured in from a hole above them illuminating the room they were in. Knife couldn't believe the sight, all around the room where piles of eggs. Knife tried to get a closer look but a dragon hopped down from nowhere and tackled her. Knife struggled under the weight of the dragon until Scar roared scaring the dragon away from her. When Knife sat up she saw what looked like a gray Night Fury. It was small compared to Scar, soon there was not one but two,three,four, eventually there was twenty gray Night Furies of different sizes and different shades.
Hiccup and Toothless finally caught up to them, Hiccup uttered,"Amazing..."
"Dad these are Night Furies still right?" Knife asked.
"I think so...I suppose when they are younger they are gray and when they become fully grown they become black."
"So far all the Night Furies we've met are fully grown this is an amazing discovery. I can't believe it. So where are all the other Night Furies?"
"How many are there?"
"Gunner told me about a hundred Night Fury lived here."
"That many? Really? That's incredible..."
"Yea but it seems the only ones here are the children..."
"Here or left behind maybe... We can say for sure that the ones who started the fire were the Berserkers... they must have captured the dragons and burned down the island so they wouldn't leave evidence."
"Well they didn't expect we would come to look did they?"
"Probably not... we have to get these dragons and eggs out of here. The island is no longer safe for them."
"Yea but these are a lot of eggs we would need help to do it."
"Yea well me and Toothless will go back and get help and probably build something to carry these eggs in. Until than stay put don't leave the island."
"I won't I think I will probably search around the island to see if I can find any clues about what happened."
"Alright than I will see you when I get back." Hiccup said before him and Toothless flew out from the open crevice and straight for home. Knife stayed behind to make sure that the little ones were ok before she set off herself to check out the island.
