Every miniscule detail was laid out for her to gaze upon, the unique leaves on each plant, each droplet the waves tossed up, but she paid them no heed. Her muscles burned, her tongue lolled out of her jaws, but she was not safe yet.
Finally, she smelled something other than the saltiness of the ocean. It was the scent of dragons, layered one on top of the other like a pile of hides in a house. But she could detect, underneath the Monstrous Nightmares and Deadly Nadders, one scent she had been hunting for years.
The scent of a Night Fury.
But she couldn't go after it now, not when she was weakened from what lay behind her. She could half-hear the angry sounds of the hunters, even though they were only in her head. Down there! In the leafy brush of the forest, a clearing, a pool, a sanctuary. She dived down.
Over the island, a sound rang out, the call of a hunting Night Fury.
Then, all was silence.
