Alvin roared in anger. To be thrown about in such a manor, without his permission was unquestionable! His eyes were red with fury. He charged at the Skrill and Ech at full speed, not even thinking of allowing the two to live now.
The Skrill, not allowing anyone to hurt his new friend, gave a thunderous roar and spit a large blue flame at Alvin. Cart wheeling out of the way Alvin dodged and chucked his axe at Ech. Knowing that if you kill the rider, the dragon would be lost. The Skrill swiftly moved away from the attack and shot another blue fire. Not at Alvin or any of the Outcasts though, but at the pike roof, leaving a large hole. Big enough for both of them to squeeze through and escape.
A swarm of outcasts came pouring into the arena, armed to the teeth. Ech looked worried, but patted the dragon on the head. That made her feel safe, being with a dragon. She loved them, she truly did. The Skrill, as if sensing her feelings gave a slight purr then spread its wings.
"Stop them you idiots! Don't let them get away!" Growled Alvin running at Ech and the dragon again.
To bad the Skrill didn't hesitate to take flight once he was ready. It launched itself toward the hole it made, folding in the wings at the right moment to fit through. Both successfully making it through unscathed and away from Alvin. Ech and the Skrill looked down at them from the sky and smiled.
"Take that Alvin! This is what happens when you mess with us!" Yelled Ech mockingly.
"I will hunt you down girl! You and your dragons!" He paused them laughed. "I Still have your precious Snaptrapper!" Saying nothing else Alvin ran to where he was keeping Clovis.
Ech gasped, a tear running down her face as she mouthed the word No. She pleaded to her new friend to find her dragon partner Clovis. The Skrill complied easily and flew took off in search for Clovis.
"Thank you…. You know, you don't have a name do you?" The Skrill gave her a quick glance before surveying the area. Occasionally he would roar, trying to communicate with Clovis. So far there have been no responses.
"I'll give you one." Ech thought for a moment then thought back to the unique blue fire the Skrill had.
"How about…. Bluelight?" Sounding proud of the name. Bluelight spit out a small blue fire, approving of it as well.
The two flew in silence for what seemed hours. Soon though the silence was broken by a faint, but distressed call. Actually four distressed calls. Bluelight stopped flying and hovered, trying to find out where the dragon was calling from. Once he did he charged right to where they were. A large pit in the ground with a cage large enough to hold Clovis. Fire and Brimstone were placed on the corners to bring some light.
It was dark regardless. The smell of decay and fresh burnt carcass was pungent. Bones of not only dragons, but humans. Unlucky outcasts to have fought and failed to fight or tame a dragon. The sky was dark, the stars could not be seen. They were covered by the smog which emitted from the fire.
Bluelight landed softly on the ground and watched around cautiously. Ech jumped off her new friend and ran to Clovis. Her fear gone, replaced by joy to be reunited with her old friend. The cage was a strong oak, and almost impossible to destroy by hand, or any weapon. Clovis's mouths were tied tightly to prevent her from spraying acid. A few all ready learned their lesson from last time.
"Bluelight! Can you burn this cage?" She shouted moving out of the way. Blue stared at the cage and opened fire at it, breaking it easily. Leaving blue embers on the cage, slowly distinguishing.
Clovis stepped out of the destroyed cage and spread her wings, relishing the freedom. Bluelight approached her and purred slightly. Flourish and Powder both showed their gratitude while Venus and June continued to enjoy their freedom.
"June, Venus, Flourish, and Powder. I'm am so glad you are safe. They didn't harm you did they!"
"Well girlie, you beat us here. Before we could kill your BEAST." Spoke a gruff voice, undoubtedly Alvins'. He was with more than three dozen of his men. All armed, but also scared out of their wits. Fighting two dragons that were trained and disliked outcasts. That thought just didn't sit too well with them.
Bluelight took an intimidating step toward the outcasts, causing a few to scream and run. Making the dragon laugh, Clovis as well. Alvin growled, demanding them to attack. Hesitantly they did, charging forward. Thirty-Eight outcasts counting Savage and Alvin outnumbered them. They had no choice, but to fight for their lives.
A loud shriek like sound could be heard from above. Ech, or anyone else wasn't sure what it was. Then a quick blue projectile shot down and hit a great number of outcasts, scattering them. Ech recognized the projectile as dragon fire. A Nightfury's fire. She looked up and saw her friends; Hiccup, Astrid, Fishlegs, Snotlout, and the twins, Ruff and Tuffnut.
"Hold it Alvin! Keep your hands off our friend." Spoke Hiccup threateningly…. Well as much as Hiccup could mock being threatening. Toothless and the others landed and growled at outcasts. Bluelight wasn't sure what to make of the new company. They saved Ech and didn't seem to be a threat to her so it didn't attack them.
"Oh you again boy… I have had just about enough of you." Alvin sneered, but retreated a little. His companions had all fled once the rest appeared. Leaving Alvin alone to fight all the dragons and their trainers.
"One day boy. You and that girl will tell me how to train dragons!" He fled after that, leaving the scene quickly.
After the excitement had died down Hiccup approached Ech, who was next to Bluelight. The dragon was nudging Ech playfully and licked her. Causing a small static shock and made her hair stand on end. They both laughed and Ech tried to fix her hair.
"So, I see you made a new friend. A Skrill. Those dragons are tricky to train. How did you do it?" Hiccup's voice was hoarse, as if he was crying earlier.
"Hiccup, you okay?" Ech asked, concerned for her friend.
"I'm fine."
"Well… I was told to train him… I assume he's a boy. Are you Bluelight?" She asked, petting under the dragon's chin. Bluelight gave small grunt, indicating yes.
"So I was forced to train him. Then Alvin sort of threatened us both, even though my friend here tried to eat me several times. We both agreed that we disliked Alvin and partnered up."
Hiccup smiled and scratched his partners head.
"Looks like he sees you as a partner now, instead of a meal. Two dragons. You trained two dragons. That is impressive Ech." Said Hiccup, the admiration in his voice quite noticeable. Ech blushed and thanked him.
Astrid came into the scene holding her axe firmly, as if wanting to strike someone with it. She smiled at Ech then gave her a hug.
"I'm glad you're safe."
"Yeah! I mean, it was my idea to save you after all." Blurted Snotlout, attempting to make Ech look at him, to no avail.
She did give small chuckle which made him smile and swoon. Hookfang was sticking his tongue out and not paying attention. Not even when Snotlout fell off from swooning over Ech. Although no one was paying attention to him anyway.
"Let's head home Ech." Said Hiccup sitting on Toothless. The others did the same, except Snotlout who was still mesmerized.
"All right." Ech turned to Bluelight and hugged him. "Come with us. You can have a good home with Clovis and I." She pleaded. Bluelight on the other hand said nothing. He outspread his wings and took off into the air, leaving Ech.
"Bluelight! BLUELIGHT!" She cried out for him several times, but he did not return. Astrid came to her and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"It's okay. He just needs some time alone. I'm sure he'll return to you someday Ech." She smiled and wiped a tear from Ech's face.
Clovis came to her master and bent down, waiting for her to board. Ech gave a weak smile and hugged Flourish's neck tightly. Then went around hugging the others.
"Thank you Clovis, for coming into my life. I am glad to have met you. Now, let's go home. I'm starving." Ech climbed onto Clovis who then launched into the air. The other dragons followed and together… They all flew back to Berk again.
Bluelight watched from a distance. His new friend safe, with friends, and returning home. That made him happy, that he was able to save her. Did he want to go back with her, to be with her, and stay with her? That… He has yet to decide.
He gave a loud roar which Ech heard, stopped and turned around. She saw a dragon in the distance. Not being able to make out the figure, but she had a good idea who it was. Bluelight let out a burst of fiery blue flames around himself, as if he was dancing in them. Ech began to tear up again, she loved Bluelight, and she knew that he loved her too.
After the show of blue fire, Bluelight flew away, into the darkness and the clouds of Outcast Island. Or further down to where the waters had yet to lead us. One thing Bluelight and Ech new for sure was that they would see each other again.
