We both burst into the nest clearing startling Lightflame and his mate.
" What on Earth are you two doing?" His mate snaps glaring at me.
" There's S-Somthing chasing us," Moon pants.
Lightflame freezes as yells echo through the forest. " Vikings," He says staring into the direction of the creatures.
" Get your brothers, right now. Fly away as fast as your wings can carry you." Lightflame tells me. He looks over at Moon. " You get a head start. I don't want you falling behind." Lightflames mate comes over to Moon giving her daughter an embrace before they push us both away.
" I thought maybe we would never have to fight them again" I hear Lightflame say sadly just as I took off into the direction of Firebird. I sprint quickly through the forest just missing being impaled by one of the sharp objects as I run past them. Once I see Firebird's Lighter flame colored scales I jump through the last section of undergrowth before startling him.
" Whats wrong?" He asks standing up.
" We have to go now. Your parents sent me to get you, we have to get Hookedclaw too before he gets hurt," Firebird nods in response and starts leading me in the direction of his brother. Once I catch his scent I run past Firebird telling him to get to the air. When I spot The black and red dragon I feel a pit form in my stomach.
He is surrounded by three Of the vikings. I hesitate watching him try to fight off the creatures who were slowly overtaking him. Is he really worth risking my own life? I watch only another second before deciding. I leap out into the trampled plants, swiping a clawed paw at one of the creatures. I use my powerful tail to trip the other two. Hookedclaw takes his chance and as quickly as he can limps out of the way. I grab the first one I had clawed before grabbing his skull in my jaws and quickly twisting. I let go when the creature goes limp. The other two let out a battle cry for their fallen warrior and both run at me with weapons raised.
I hiss as I swipe at one and use my tail to ram into the other one hearing a crack as my tail comes in contact with them before they fall to the ground. The one I had clawed was staring at the one I had just killed with wide scared eyes. Water quickly started to run from their eyes. They drop their weapon. Falling next to the other. They started to sob as he picked up the other male in his arms.
I watch in interest in the auto magic change in behavior. The live Viking turns to me water still dripping down his face. " You killed him, you must kill me now too. I can not live without him." He starts to sob after the sentence. The fact I could understand this creature surprised me.
But I don't kill, what won't defend itself.
The Viking looks at me pleading but I don't move.
" You really are a cursed creature. You must me the unholy offspring, no man has ever met you and lived to tell. You only bring destruction with you! You are a bringer of evil!" The Viking yells and stands up grabbing his weapon.
Why is he mad now? What is unholy?
He takes his sharp too and runs at me. Being already maimed I pin him down easily before delivering the finial blow. A very odd, peaceful. Almost happy look takes over his face as he takes his last breath. I shake my head, it is the opposite it should be.
Unless it was only a trick to end your own life. I think, making a lot form in my stomach with guilt. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just protecting.
I pick him up and lay him carefully by the other male he cared deeply for. I start to walk away but stop at seeing a flower. I move closer to take a better look at it and remember it. It's dark black petals spread proudly in a pretty formation.
I pick the glossy black flower and walk back over to the Viking that had showed love and emotion towards the other human. I lay the flower on his chest before walking away.
" You and your flowers. One would think you where a female." Hookedclaw says. I'm sure if it was normal routine, he would have snarled the words before shoving me, but he instead just looked up into the sky before taking off.
You waited for me to come before taking to the sky? How odd.
I meet both brothers in the air before we all chased after moon who had a large head start.
I look back at the forest looking for any signs of Lightflame. I think I see his light scales through the trees, but the color disappears before I can tell.
I see the brothers both look back for their parents.
A new dread fills my chest as I look back to the sky. What if it's just like Mother, father and Galla all over again? What if I never get to see Lightflame again? Please be ok. Please come back for us. I think about what the Viking has said before charging me for the last time. How I was a cursed dragon. A bringer of destruction and death. Maybe that's what I really am. Maybe that's why my parents where killed. Because Night Fury's are bad. Not because they want to be. But because they just are.
One's Never seen a Night Fury and Lived to tell the tale.
What do you think? Too gruesome? Oh well. This is a dragon, things like this where bound to happen in Viking days.
And the reappearance of the Black flower. You must by now know what the flower is, and so if you do what does the meaning of the flower represent for Toothless's future?
