"Hurry up with the food!" I heard the queen yelled as we neared Dragon Island. I rolled my eyes and lead the dragons into the cave. It had been eight days since we arrived at the Shadowed Reef. I dropped a squid in the queen's hole and flew to the leader platform. I glanced over at a shadow flying into the cave without dropping off any seafood. I noticed it was a male Night Fury. I watched him land on a spare rock. 'Who is that?' I wondered in my mind. The Night Fury looked up at me and tilted his head slightly. He seemed to have something on his back, it almost looked like a human and his left tail flap was a weird unnatural brown colour unlike the rest of him. "NightShade?" I whispered to myself, I could spot his eyes anywhere. I shock my head taking my focus off of the Night Fury. I watched as Dumpling, a lazy Gronckle, hovered over the hole, he had eaten all the food he had taken and hadn't brought any for the queen. He coughed up half a fish and continued to slowly hover away. 'What is he doing? He needs to get out of there!' I told myself. The queen leapt up and ate him whole just like I knew she would. The queen glared around and spotted the Night Fury. "Hey you, Night Fury, you didn't give me any food!" The Red Death yelled as she leapt up. All the dragons leapt to the air and sped out the volcano so they wouldn't get eaten. I saw the Night Fury jump up and fly towards the exit. The queen was about to grab him in her mouth. I cut in front of a Zippleblack behind the Fury, the Zippleback slowed down and was eaten by the queen instead of the Night Fury, letting him escape. I flew through the crowd of dragons trying to follow the fast black dragon. I came out of the volcano, but the Night Fury was no where to be seen. I hovered for a moment, looking around in all directions. Finally I gave up with a sigh and flew back to the Night Fury den. The den was empty so I lay down by the entrance and took a deep breath. I must have imagined seeing NightShade, but I was so certain it had been him.
I looked down at the egg of the Red Death in front of me. It was green and was very big. "She's going to be the Green Death" the queen told me. I smiled and nodded. "Now go get me some more food!" The queen yelled. I leapt into the air and quickly gathered the dragons, leading them to White Willow for a raid. The raid went as usual and was over quickly. I sent back the dragons while I rushed to help a Nadder in a net. I shot the net, freeing the Nadder and continued to glide over the village. I was so deep in thought about the dragon I had seen in the volcano a flew days ago that I hardly heard a men yell "Night Fury!" Suddenly I was caught in a net, pulled down and shoved in a cage. I snapped out of my thoughts and shot the bars of the cage with a plasma blast creating a small hole which I climbed through and flew back to the other dragons.
I was in the volcano tunnel with the other dragons when I heard something land on the stones of the sore. All the dragons went quite and I flew up to the top of the volcano and looked around; on the shore were tons of ships and thousands of Vikings. I recognised Stoick who stood in front of all the men facing the volcano. "No matter how this ends, it ends today!" Stoick said holding his hand in the air. Stoick clasped his hand into a fist and ten rocks were catapulted at the volcano. The rocks smashed into the volcano until part of it fell away opening a gap into the dragon tunnel where the rest of the dragons where. Stoick walked up to the top of the tunnel, he made a small circle with his hammer and a flaming rock was catapulted into the tunnel lighting up all the dragons inside. The flaming rock entered the cave of the volcano and I heard the queen growl. I flew into the tunnel and heard Stoick scream. "Go!" I yelled at all the dragons inside the tunnel. They all took off, dodging the people who were trying to hit them with hammers as they flew away. "Is that it?" I heard a man who I somehow knew was named Gobber ask. "We've done it!" Gobber shouted and I heard the people cheering outside. I flew to the cave and landed on my platform. "Thousands of humans are attacking us, my queen" I told her. The queen growled and started to climb out of the hole. I flew out the top of the volcano and sat there watching everything, but making sure to stay hidden. There was no point me getting involved and it was the queen's duty to protect the island. A deep growl sounded from within the cave. "This isn't over! Form your ranks! Hold together!" I head Stoick yell suddenly. The queen roared and snarled then emerged from the volcano, breaking through the rocks. "Get clear!" Stoick yelled as the people gasped and started to run.
The Red Death broke out of the volcano with crumbling rocks everywhere. "Beard of Thor! What is that?!" Gobber asked. The queen growled. "Odin help us" Stoick replied. The Red Death roared and started stepping closer. The men started catapulting rocks at her which only made her angrier. The queen growled, bit one catapult, stepped on another and burnt the ships with her fire then proceeded to stamp on the people. "Lead the men to the far side of the island!" Stoick commanded. 'Oh that won't help you' I thought. The men gathered and started heading to the other side of the island. "Gobber go with the men!" Stoick told the man next to him. "I think I'll stay, just in case you're thinking of doing something crazy." "I can buy them a few minutes if I give that thing someone to hunt!" "Then I can double that time" Gobber said grasping Stoick's hand. "Here!" The two men yelled as they ran towards the very angry Red Death.
