When the riders returned home with the eggs they took them to the caves at the heart of the island to keep them safe. They made sure the younglings were comfortable, Midnight had taken over as den mother and watched the little ones. Which was fine for Knife because she could use the break. The riders returned to the village, where they decided to plan how they would free the captured Night Furies. They sat around the table in the great hall.
"We know the Berserkers are holding the Night Fury on their island somewhere. Maybe it would be best if we sent in a spy to check out the surrounding area first thing. Once we know the layout of the island we will be able to effectively take the island and save the dragon. The only way we can most likely spy is from above and the best dragon's for the job are Night Furies, me and Knife will head out to Berserk Island and be back,"Hiccup explained to the vikings.
"Wait only you two are going? There are plenty Night Fury." Astrid argued referring to the younglings.
Knife replied,"The younglings are too small to carry people, either way I wouldn't endanger them for anything. Their parents are relying on us to keep their children and eggs safe. So the younglings will stay here on the island, Midnight will also stay behind to guard them. Either way the less dragons we take the better the chance we have spying the enemy. So me and dad are going no if's,and's,or but's about it."
Astrid taken back at the her daughters tone and her eyes, they showed such a fierce spirit, Astrid agreed,"Fine but you two better come back in the condition you leave in." Hiccup and Knife nodded they waited until sunset before heading off to Berserk Island.
Hiccup and Knife flew across the water when they spotted Berserk Island. Gunner was right it is pretty threatening to look at. The island was larger than Berk from what they could see the island was basically a rock with little green on in it. Toothless and Scar soared higher into the sky so they could blend in. Above they were able to get a full view of the island, it had one mountain but many large hillsides, the village was large and surrounded with large walls. They hovered just above the village it took up most of the island and shores, luckily the shores had no walls to protect them. They had ten large ships and a dozen small boats, the island had about 20 or more guard towers, along with twice that many catapults. Most of the homes were strewn along the edges of the walls to offer their homes protection though some were close to the guard towers. They had a great hall like Berk did but twice the size, they had two forges one seemed for building human armor and such but the other was far larger in which multiple blacksmiths worked. All around the village were dragons roaming around and flying about, It was hard to see from such high up but the dragons were shiny. Is it just me or are the dragons shiny?...Wait a second...The dragons are wearing armor!
"Dad the dragons are wearing armor!"Knife whispered to her father who nodded.
"It would seem so, something tells me they have more dragons than that as well. Though let's see if we can find were the Night Fury and being held." Hiccup said before having Toothless continue on around the island. Knife followed closely watching the ground when they flew closer to the shores Knife saw a cave. Knife checked around there was no one at the docks it seems that all the Berserkers were celebrating elsewhere. She kept her eye on the cave when she saw a small figure leave from the cave. She stopped making Scar hover, Hiccup looked back at his daughter and had Toothless turn around."Did you find something?"he asked in a hushed tone.
"Yea I just saw someone leave that cave it's possible they could have the Night Fury down there. The figure left and headed back to the village I was going to wait for him until he was further away before approaching the cave." Knife answered, Hiccup looked at the cave and nodded the figure climbed up the path to the village and slowly Hiccup and Knife hovered down until the figure was out of sight. Knife and Hiccup landed on the sand at the mouth the cave and walked in there were a few lit torches along the path enough for someone to see where they were going but not enough to tell who was in the cave. They continued when they heard low growling noises. Suddenly the cave opened and they were in a room filled with Night Furies in cages. Each cage held two Night Furies row upon row there was at 50 cages side by side. Hiccup and Knife continued on toward the back when Knife heard crying she quietly ran to the noise and came upon a cage holding a single Night Fury. The dragon was holding a smaller creature Knife walked up to the bars and Blackwing raised his head revealing Gunner crying on his shoulder. "You know girls do like sensitive men,"Knife whispered to Gunner. Gunner stopped and looked at Knife he got embarrassed and quickly rubbed his eyes, and walked up to the bars.
"I was only crying because dragons can't. So I decided to cry for Blackwing, isn't that right?" Gunner asked the Ebony dragon, who snorted in response,"Anyway what are you doing here Knife?"
"Well we came to spy on the Berserkers and find out where the Night Fury were being held before we launched an attack."Knife explained checking her bag for two metal sticks and began to pick the lock.
"You know how to pick a lock?"Gunner queried.
"Yea now hush and let me concentrate,"Knife ordered the lock clicked and she opened the cage, Gunner opened his arms for a hug but Knife ran under his arms and got to work on Blackwing's lock,"We can save the hugs for later we have to get out now." There was another click and Blackwing's shackle came off and they ran to the exit they caught up with Hiccup and Toothless, Knife jumped on Scar's back and Gunner did the same to Blackwing. The Night Furies ran for the exit picking up speed and as they reached the exit they launched into the sky quickly not looking back, they quickly raced for home Knife glanced over her shoulder quickly there was no one following them, and no one on the beach she took a deep breath. Thank the Gods we got out...We will be back Night Furies just be patient.
They reached home safely, the dragons left to the caves to see the youngling and Midnight. Hiccup exhausted and headed home to sleep leaving Knife and Gunner alone. It was almost Dawn, Knife turned to Gunner and Immediately punched him in the arm. He rubbed his arm in silence to avoid waking any of the vikings.
"That was for being stupid,"Knife explained than hugged him,"This is for what you did to help me." Gunner hugged her back and they stood there for a while in silence until they pulled apart and walked home. Tomorrow was when they would plan for their attack on Berserk Island.
