Chapter 3
Sliverstar was sitting at the front of the cave. She was looking out at the wild ocean, wishing she could see into the distance, to berk.
"Mom mom!". Her daydream was interrupted by her son darkwing. Now 2 weeks old darkwing was curious like any baby dragon would be. "I caught a fish!" He said proudly lifting up his kill. The fish was so tiny it looked more like a tadpole."well done my little angel!" She said nuzzling him.
As soon as she became uninterested in the fish she walked back to usual spot and once more began daydreaming. "Um...mom" said darkwing. "Yes son" she replied. "When is dad coming back". Sliverstar flinched as if she had just been stabbed with a dagger. She turned around, her voice was trembling. "I...I...don't know" she said
One week earlier sliverstar, darkwing and some other dragons were waiting on a cliff for the clans return. First came scarface the leader of the clan. Then came the monstrous nightmares, followed by the deadly nadders. Then the zipplebacks and gronkles. Sliverstar waited until she was the only dragon left sitting there. But she had to face the facts. Shadow had not returned
Desperate to find her husband sliverstar went to the chief. "The battle was very chaotic". "I'm sorry but don't know the whereabouts of shadow". Sliverstar day after day went flying all around the archipelago calling his name. But after a week, her hopes dwindled. Sliverstar simply sat a the front of the cave sighing and looking out to sea
" I'm going hunting" said sliverstar later on that day at dusk. "You behave yourself" she warned. Darkwing nodded and with one beat of her vast wings sliverstar was gone. Darkwing jumped up on to a nearby rock and settled himself before falling into a deep sleep
"Ahhhhh". Darkwings eyes burst open in terror. It was night now and sliverstar had not yet returned. In the distance through the fog he could see flashes of bright light and he could just make out the outlines of dragons. "Vikings" he whispered in fear.
Darkwing had heard many stories of these evil creatures. None of them had been nice stories and many involved death. Petrified darkwing ran to the back of the cave and hid
Moments later darkwing heard a thud at the front of the cave. Terrified darkwing poked his trembling head out to see what had caused the noise. With a sigh of relief he saw it was his mom back from her hunt. "mom!" He cried. But something was wrong. Sliverstar said nothing but hobbled into the cave before collapsing in a crumpled heap. "Mom!" Yelled darkwing.
Darkwing then saw it. A wound, an arrow wound. "I'm ok I'm fine" she said weakly. "I just got this by accident..there was abit of trouble guarding the nest". But darkwing wasn't convinced. "Come here" said sliverstar. Darkwing walked over. "Darkwing" said sliverstar. "One day you will grow up to be like your dad". "But promise me one thing" she said. Darkwing listened. "Don't kill for the sake of killing" she said. "There are good dragons and bad dragons in this world, and it's the same with humans"."so when you are big and are going on raids please don't kill unless you have to". Darkwing lay down beside her "I will" he said.
