Episode 10: Between A Rock And A Hard Place

I let out another sigh as Toothless glides through the air for a second before landing on a sea stack. I pull out a spy glass and lift it up scanning for the boats ahead. "What are we landing for? They're pulling away." Snotlout states, "Hookfang come on!" Snotlout shouts I twist around looking back at her.

"No! There's too many, and they're sailing in tight formation." I say and Snotlout scowls.

"I'll show you tight formation." She mutters angrily.

I swing off of Toothless's back as the other riders to the same, "Iyn's right. We'll never be able to reach that convoy without being spotted first." Fishlegs says.

"We need a distraction." Asher says.

"Leave that to us." I say and smile pulling out a tailfin. I walk over to Toothless's tail and open it smiling happily.

"Haedryin! This is no time to play dress up!" Snotlout says in annoyance.

"And how can you even think of wearing yellow after Snoggletog. That my friend is a fashion faux pas." Tuffnut says snapping his fingers several times as he does so.

"Ugh, how gross." Ruffnut adds.

I pull off the red tailfin and attach the yellow black one, "This one is lighter and stiffer, it's made of a thin sheet of Gronckle Iron." I explain.

Toothless pulls his tail fin open, revealing a cut off strike class syllable in the yellow. I move towards him smiling, "Now it's not great for long distance flying but-" I start.

"The added stability will allow you to fly along the water surface, it's ingenious!" Fishlegs finishes. Yup.

I swing onto Toothless's back clicking my prosthetic into place, "Exactly Fishlegs, we're going to glide in right under their sight line." I say and Toothless leaps off the sea stack, "Watch for my single!" I call.

Toothless glides across the ocean with ease and I lean into his neck letting out a soft calming breath through my nose. Toothless skims across the ocean, past the boats circling them. "Now bud!" I shout and he pulls up firing several rapid blasts at the boat. The wood explodes outwards raining splinters in all directions.

"DRAGON RIDERS! DEFEND THE CARGO AT ALL COSTS!" A man roars and Toothless dives over the boats blasting several more men from their stations.

Toothless flips and I release the saddle handles letting my hands drop as I spread ice across the top of the decks freezing several men into place. Toothless dodges a bola and Hookfang dives past him announcing the other riders.

After nearly a minute more, Windshear slices her tail across the sails causing them to fall to the ground with thuds.

Toothless lands on the forecastle deck and I swing off his back landing with ease on the deck and stare at the dragon hunters smirking slightly. The other riders land on the deck and the men throw their hands up into the air, "We'll be taking your cargo now."

Less than two minutes later I swing onto bottom deck Fishlegs and Toothless behind me, "Come on Fishlegs let's hurry and free these dragons so we can help with the other ships." I say and race down the hall leading to the stalls.

"I hope we didn't startle them to much with the commotion." FIshlegs says. I reach the end of the hall and freeze in surprise. Scattered everywhere across the floor is marble blocks.

"Iyn…." FIshlegs says after a hesitation, "Where are all the dragons?"

Toothless pokes up from behind one of the blocks and growls lowly. Not here.

Me, Fishlegs and Toothless exit the boat and I look up at Asher, Heeth and the twins sparing a glance towards the tied up dragon hunters. "Your highness these ships don't have any dragons on them, just marble blocks." Asher says.

"Why would they fight so hard to protect a bunch of rocks?" Heeth asks. A squealing squawk catches my attention and I turn my head left staring at the shapes racing towards us.

"Iyn.." Fishlegs trails off.

"What is that?" Snotlout asks.

"Whatever it's moving fast." Asher answers. I lift up a spyglass and give a sigh staring at the wild dragons fleeing.

"Bad news?" Fishlegs asks hesitantly.

"Well it's not great, DUCK!" I grab her shoulder and shove her to the ground.

"Dragon stampede! Take cover!" SNotlout shouts.

"No!" I disagree racing towards Toothless, "We need to get into the air!" I rip his tailfin from the saddlebag and race towards his tail my fingers a blur as I undo the latches.

"What why!?" Snotlout demands.

Toothless snaps his tailfin open and I race towards him swinging onto his back and clicking my prosthetic into place. He leaps into the air with the other riders and I duck as several dragons fly over our heads like water rapids.

"Iyn, where are we going!?" Fishlegs demands guiding Meatlug up next to me.

"W-we're going to follow this stampede to it's source. These dragons, they're fleeing for a reason." I say and point back at the dragons. Toothless dives under a Timberjacks wings revealing an island.

"There!" Fishlegs shouts and points towards it. A sonic boom echoes through the air and Fishlegs's eyes widen, "Do hear that?"

"We need to take a closer look." I say.

The twins let out a startled yelps and Barf and Belch go spinning past us in tight circles heading for the island in a most likely crash, "Ruff! Tuff!" Heeth shouts.

"I REGRET NOTHING!" Tuffnut promises.

They hit the trees, "I REGRET EVERYTHING!" Ruffnut shouts. Ow, that looked like it hurt.

A few minutes later, Toothless lands on the island and I look around for the missing Thorstens, I can sense their snowflakes so the must be close. "Ruff? Tuff?" I ask. The other riders land and Tuffnut staggers forward pushing up his helmet as he flashes a dizzy smile.

"It's all good in the archipelahood." Tuffnut hits the ground with a thump.

Ruffnut help Barf and Belch forward walks into view. "But, it doesn't look like Barf and Belch are going anywhere for awhile." she says and drops their wing.

"Perfect, great plan, Haedryin." Snotlout calls sarcastically behind me.

"Hmm," I hum ignoring Snotlout as I stare down at the docks where several more ships are.

"Iyn these ships are just like the ones from the convoy." Fishlegs says and I nod softly. Yup.

A voice rings behind us and I whirl around in panic, "Hide!" I hiss and point towards the woods. I race towards them the other riders and their dragons following. After a second I poke my head out from the side of a tree and look forward at the dragon hunters moving forward hauling a crate of marble blocks.

I hum again and turn looking back at my other half, "Come on Toothless."

After a second he leaps in front of the men, causing them to halt in place in surprise and fear.

A few minutes later the three men struggle against the ice ropes holding them the leader, I assume looks up at me, "Do your worst, I've stared down the mouth of a Whispering Death, you don't scare me."

Tuffnut leans in close to his face, "Oh real tough guy huh? Put your mace where your mouth is."

"You won't get anything out of us, you dragon riding dogs." The man spits. I give a glance at Snotlout and she snaps her fingers. Hookfang leaps behind her coat of fire aflame, seeing it the man pales, "Okay, I'll talk."

Me and Snotlout share a smirk.

"Two convoys left earlier this morning headed for-Ooh!" The man groans as Tuffnut whacks the back of his head with his spear. My jaw falls slightly, oh you've got to be kidding me.

"Ugh, I thought that guy would never shut up. Am I right?" Tuffnut asks looking up at us with a small smile.

Fishlegs grips her braids. "Tuff, he was just about to tell us everything!"

"He was?" Tuffnut asks after a hesitation. The man sits up and Tuffnut smacks him over the head with his spear again giving a small chuckle, "Sorry, it's a reflex."

I fold my arms across my chest and give a small sigh, "Asher, you Heeth and Snotlout get out there and see if you can track down that other convoy; find out where it's headed." I say and he nods moving forward.

"On it."

"Meanwhile the rest of us will scout this island for more answers." I finish.

….

A while later after Snotlout, Asher and Heeth have left we break out of the forest after jumping at every sonic boom. It sounds like an earthquake is having a lot of fun messing with the island or someone is throwing incredibly large rocks.

I race behind a rock and lift up my spyglass staring at the dragon hunters moving the marble blocks, there's dozens of them, "This operation is huge." I murmur.

Large rocks are being smacked against the sides of the walls, seeing it as well Fishlegs huffs softly, "Well that explains the booming."

"But why would Viggo need all this marble?" I ask handing the spyglass to Fishlegs. I purse my lips for a second before looking up at the twins mounting on Barf and Belch's necks, "Okay, Ruff, Tuff, you'll strike on the ground." I say and they nod both giving small bows before leading their dragon away.

I move towards Toothless, "Okay Fishlegs, we'll hit from the air, cover us well we take out those wrecking balls. We need to figure out what's going on here and what Viggo has to do with it." I say and Fishlegs gives a brisk nod.

Toothless leaps into the air heading for the rock. He builds up a blast "Okay Toothless," I murmur and the bluish purple glow starts to form.

"Iyn wait!" Fishlegs screeches and Toothless sucks in his blast smoke rising from his nose.

"What the-?" I ask in disbelief she lifts up her hands gesturing in the general direction of the balls.

"Look closer, those are wrecking balls. Those are Catastrophic Quakens."

The two dragons pull up revealing themselves to be said dragons and my eyes widen. Their shackled to the large wooden boards. The two dragons roar up at the sky. "Haedryin they're using Catastrophic Quakens for their demolition work." Fishlegs says.

Yeah…"Um, Fishlegs, I would love to discuss this, but.." I trail off as the Quakens smash into the wall sending a shockwave in our direction. Toothless whips around trying to out fly it but the wave hits him sending us both tumbling down towards earth. Toothless manages to right himself and my eyes widen. "The twins." I say in panic and scan around for the injured dragon and the pair of siblings spotting nothing.

Toothless lands and I swing from off his back scanning around us, "I'm sure they're okay bud. Those two have survived worse." I say mostly trying to reassure myself. Toothless gives a reassuring nod and we scan around for Ruffnut and Tuffnut as Fishlegs turns.

After a moment she takes in a gasp and I spare her a glance, "It's the vibrations, Iyn."

"Vibrations?" I repeat.

"The hunters have trained the Quakens to react to the vibrations when the hammer hits the ground." Fishlegs answers.

Oh.

"Trapping them, then fighting them, now working them against their will..this is monstrous!" Fishlegs says with venom before turning to look back at me, "I know these dragons, they may seem dangerous and aggressive at first but they have a softer side."

"I know. No dragon deserves to be treated like this." I say and clench my fists.

"Then how are we going to free them?" Fishlegs asks.

"Well-" I start.

"Whatever you're planning, you can plan on me to hit someone with the flat end of a spear." Tuffnut assures and smashes his fist against his open palm. I smile brightly at them.

"Ruff, Tuff, you're okay!" I exclaim and they nod, "Wait is Belch-" I'm cut short as the dragon I was starting to list stumbles into the clearing looking like he's been spinning for long periods of time.

"Oh he's fine." Tuffnut assures and takes off his helmet tapping his skull, "We Thorstens are known for our extremely thick craniums."

"Yeah, warriors used to use the skulls of our ancestors as helmets." Ruffnut says before she lifts up a branch and smashes it over Tuffnut's head the branch snaps and his face twists with pain for a second.

"See! Thick skulls! Ha, ha, ha, ha!" Tuffnut shouts before he falls forward hitting the ground with a thump. Ruffnut stares at the branch in her hand a guilty look crossing over her face.

"Okay now there's a deeply disturbing image that I would very much like to forget." I say and look back at Toothless. He nods in agreement giving his dragon laugh.

"So what's the plan to free those dragons, your majesty?" Ruffnut asks grinning.

"I AM HURT!" Tuffnut yells. I spin snowflakes through my fingers for a second.

"Huh, well there's not a lot of maneuverability in that quarry." I murmur.

"I AM VERY MUCH HURT!" Tuffnut adds.

I move forward for a second, "But now that I think about it, I might have something that will get us close enough to cause a distraction for Fishlegs and Meatlug to infiltrate." I say and move towards Toothless pulling out a blue tailfin and opening it grinning.

000o000

"You know, I've been meaning to get this out in the open for a while now." Snotlout declares causing Asher to scowl and Heeth to look back at her. "Moments between the three of us don't have to be weird guys."

"What are you talking about?" Asher demands looking back at her, "They aren't weird."

"Well...yes, but I um…" Snotlout says trailing off.

Heeth shakes his head, "Get what out into the open?" He asks.

"Uh…" Snotlout trails off and then as if to save herself from the embarrassment of realizing she forgot what she was going to say she throws her hand forward pointing it at the boats, "there! Theres the missing convoy."

"Wait, how long have you known it was there?" Asher demands looking back at her.

"Um…A couple minutes." Snotlout answers with a shrug. Asher and Heeth share irritated looks.

"Snotlout!" They cry in exasperated sync.

000o000

Toothless loops avoiding an arrow and I yelp in surprise, "Whoa!" I cry looking forward at the dragon hunter as he draws back his bow for another arrow. Toothless's flight falters for a second and we both look back at the tailfin, "Easy bud, this new tail is sensitive. It'll be easier to maneuver in that tight quarry." I say and wave my hand forward freezing the arrow to the bow before the hunter can fire.

"We'll round up those hunters and find out what Viggo's up to." I say and Toothless nods pulling towards the marble lined walls, and looping around them.

000o000

Another dragon hunter watches Haedryin and Toothless and pulls his bow back smirking. "I've got you know." he murmurs.

"Yeah!" Ruffnut calls as she and her brother mounted on Barf and Belch run past, Belch letting out several streams of sparks. Ruffnut shakes her head in disbelief, "It's gas, then spark, come on Belch!" She cries.

Barf lets out a stream of gas that Belch then sparks a large expositions ringing up through the air.

000o000

"Okay Fishlegs, we've got them distracted now release the Quaken!" I command and Fishlegs nods she and Meatlug diving down towards the chained dragons.

Meatlug fires several blasts of lava at the chains and they snap the Quakens getting released hitting the ground. Toothless pulls up in front of the dragon hunters and I glare at them, "It's over, now leave!" I command.

They stare at me for several seconds before laughing. My eyebrows shoot up in surprise, "Not exactly the response I was expecting." I mutter.

A dragon hunter moves forward large hammer in hand, a face mask covers his mouth but I can almost see the smirk building up on it. He slams the hammer down and the ground rattles for a second, Fishlegs taking in a sharp gasp.

The Quakens take air and fly in front of Fishlegs narrowing their eyes, "W-what's the matter? You're free." Fishlegs says and I stare at the Quakens for a second before Fishlegs and Meatlug dive under the Quakens making a break for it.

"RUN!" I shout and Toothless dives forward quickly flying over the Quakens.

The dragon hunters smash their hammers against the ground several more times and I look back at the twins as the Quakens start to advance on them, "Toothless," I call and he looks up at me, "The twins will never be able to outrun those Quakens, we need to draw them away." I say and he nods spreading his wings and we rocket back towards the twins then beyond the Quakens.

Toothless fires a blast at both of them and they stop turning to look back at us, "Well I think we got their attention." I say and they curl into balls again before racing after us, "Uh, yeah we did."

Toothless quickly loops in and out of the trees, making quick loops as the Quakens destroy the vegetation behind us. Toothless's tail slips slightly and I self consciously tighten my grip on the saddle, "Sorry bud, I guess it's good for turns but not high altitudes." Toothless roars up at me and I give an annoyed breath, "I know, I know, I'll work on it." I assure and click back the tailfin. Toothless takes a sharp left weaving through the trees. We break into a clearing and the first Quaken smashes down onto the ground sending a shockwave out towards us. I duck into Toothless's saddle as he jerks from the wave. The second Quaken echoes that of it's comrade and I let out a pained cry as bits of dirt and earth dig into my skin.

The wave passes and Toothless pulls back taking a hard left as he avoids the Quakens. He dives past Fishlegs and Meatlug and then pulls up. I look at Fishlegs my eyes widening as I see her hand is outstretched. She has got to be kidding. "Oh she cannot be thinking of training them. FISHLEGS GET OUT OF THERE!" I scream towards her lifting my hands up and cupping them on either side of my mouth.

She doesn't move murmuring something I don't catch.

She's going to get smashed flat.

Meatlug dives out of the way at the last second and the Quakens barrel past her smacking into some trees. They right themselves and look back at us before diving forward and smashing into the ground. Oh great. Toothless dives forward towards Meatlug and grabs her from the air before she can smash into a variety of trees.

The shockwaves sends as all towards the ground, "NO REGRETS!" Tuffnut screams. I'm thrown from Toothless and hit the dirt rolling several times before coming to a stop. I release a breath and sit up brushing off dirt large piles of steam and dirt from myself.

"Everybody still here?" I ask.

Toothless nudges my back and I look back at him smiling, "We're good over here!" Ruffnut calls, there's a small beat, "Except, Barf took a branch to the eye."

Barf opens his eye the iris completely red and orange, "Gleh." I say in surprise. Tuffnut walks forward towards the dragon.

"Oh, you guys are a hot mess, but I can work with it." Tuffnut assures.

I get to my feet and walk over to Fishlegs helping her to her feet. She frowns, "Fishlegs what were you doing out there? You nearly got yourself pulverized." I say and she sighs.

"They relate more to the cruelty of their captors than to the kindness of somebody who wanted to help them." Fishlegs murmurs.

"You know, we had a cousin in Stalkholm that that happened to once." Tuffnut says.

"Fishlegs, freeing these dragons isn't going to be easy." I say and gesture behind us. She doesn't look at me, "Especially if they don't want to be freed, those Quakens have obviously been in captivity for a very long time.

Fishlegs turns, "There has to be a way to get to them somehow." She says.

"Maybe." I agree, "But we might also have to accept the fact that it may be too late to save them, sorry Fishlegs."

….

"Cool," Ruffnut declares later as she slides an eye patch onto Barf's eye covering the bloodshot red orange. The island shakes dramatically and I tense before letting out a long breath.

"We can't let this excavation continue. Viggo definitely needs this marble for something big." I say and look back at Fishlegs.

"But we also can't risk harming the Quakens." Fishlegs says.

Tuffnut makes a gagging sound and I twist around looking back at him, "Bleh, Barf your gas breath, pop in a mint."

I catch a whiff of the smell and move back towards the Zippleback, "Tuff, that's not Barf's breath." I say.

Ruffnut gasps, "Is it mine?"

Belch passes out from her breath and Tuffnut stares at his sister in disbelief, "Come on, sister, hasn't he been through enough already!?"

Fishlegs and I look down at the large crack in the ground, "It's a fissure, and gas." Fishlegs says. The island rocks again and I throw out my hands to steady myself.

"...Quaken related?" Tuffnut asks.

"No, that tremor wasn't Quaken related, not directly at least." I say and put a hand on my upper arm.

"What do you mean?" Fishlegs asks.

"Those earlier tremors that we thought were Quakens were actually the island's instability." I explain. Fishlegs lifts up her hand.

"That's probably why those wild dragons were fleeing the island in the first place."

"Exactly." I agree. "The mining of the marble and the constant Quaken strikes are causing this island to become unstable."

"So my breath is fine?" Ruffnut asks.

"Ugh, let's not get crazy." Tuffnut commands making a disgusted face, "You've got dragon breath no offense Barf."

I sit up, "Fishlegs maybe there is a way to stop this operation and get those Quakens off this island after all.

000o000

Stormfly, Windshear, and Hookfang glide through the air watching the convoy they've been tracking as it reaches it's destination. "Hey does this place look familiar?" Snotlout asks offhandedly as they get closer.

"Yeah, to familiar." Heeth says.

"Viggo's base." Asher finishes.

"I think we just figured out why Viggo needs all that marble." Snotlout says and all three look forward at the giant marble fortress resting on Viggo's base.

"Look at that thing, it's impenetrable." Heeth says.

"Almost impenetrable." Asher corrects and points at a hole towards the top.

Snotlout grins, "What do you say we make some, renovations?" She asks.

"For once Snotlout you actually didn't say something ridiculous and annoying." Asher answers.

"Aw, see, I knew you liked me!" Snotlout says and Asher rolls his eyes but makes no comment. The three dragons dive towards the hole in the base then through it blasting apart several catapults and knocking men off their feet. The dragon's fire at the walls but it does nothing, leaving only a scorch mark.

"Hit at it, buddy!" Snotlout yells and Hookfang fires down at the marble doing nothing, "It's doing nothing!"

"It's the marble, it must be impervious to dragon fire." Asher realizes.

"Then we need to try a different approach." Heeth shouts. Windshear dives forward and slices her tail across three separate columns but it leaves scratch marks.

"Viggo's created the ultimate dragon proof fortress." Snotlout says.

"We need to tell Haedryin what we found before another convoy arrives." Asher says.

"One more shipment and this strong hold will be complete!" Heeth adds and points up at the hole.

"And no dragon will be able to get in or out of it." Asher breathes.

000o000

Toothless fires a blast at the feet of one of the dragon hunters and they twist around looking back at me, Fishlegs, Toothless and Meatlug, "Shut down this quarry and leave well you can. Haven't you noticed the island's unstable?" I demand and look down at the hunters as the island, true to my word rocks.

The two men move forward and release the Quakens, "I knew you were reasonable." I say with a soft sigh.

The hunter drags his hammer across the ground and Tuffnut nudges my arm, "Uh, I don't think he's as reasonable as you think, Haedryin."

The hunter slams his hammer onto the ground then points up at us. Great. The Quakens roar up at us angrily and my eyes widen, "Everyone out!" I shout. The Qaukens smash into the ground and I'm knocked off my feet hitting the ground skidding as the another fissure breaks.

"Okay," Tuffnut says after the wave of dust passes over us, "maybe the worst is over?" The island rocks again violently Tuffnut lets out a yell, "I WAS WRONG! AH! INCORRECT!"

I stumble to my feet and race towards Toothless leaping onto his back and clicking my prosthetic into place. He jumps into the air as the Quaken smashes down where we were seconds before. The wave of air travels towards us and Toothless's tail jerks before we're tossed. I'm thrown from his back and let out a long yell as I fall through the fissare. Toothless diving in after me. My back smacks into something cold and I blink sitting up and shaking my head slightly as I stare at the pile of snowflakes around me and Toothless.

The Quaken looks over the side and I grip my head tightly before racing towards Toothless and pulling out his red tailfin racing for his tail, "Okay bud, we can do this." I say firmly and my fingers are even faster than before as I detach the blue tailfin strapping on his red one and quickly stuffing the blue prosthetic into his saddlebag.

The ground cracks and I jerk my head up as the ground under the Quakens feet snaps the dragon smashing onto the ground in front of us. I back up next to Toothless, "Uh Fishlegs!"

The second Quaken looks over the side and there's a small moment before Meatlug flies over the edge the second Quaken smashes against the sides of the walls the bits of rock smashing into the ground next to the first. I stare at both of them for a second my eyes wide. What is she doing this is not helping at all, "FISHLEGS!"

The Quakens look up at the top of the fissare and I spot Fishlegs with the hammer of the dragon hunters had been using. She points it up and the Quakens dive up towards the top of the small crevice landing on the side. The island shakes again before the edges of the small ravine start to collapse in on themselves.

"Ah!" I yell and race towards Toothless leaping onto his back and clicking my peg leg into place. "Now Toothless!" I shout and he jumps into the air barely managing to not get smashed over the head with one of the larger pieces of rock. He hovers for a second and my heart is pounding in my ears, "Fishlegs we need to get out of here!"

Fishlegs taps the hammer, points it up then climbs onto Meatlug's back. The Quakens stare at her for a second before leaping after the girl.

Gas leaks through the cracks and the island bursts apart as Toothless, Meatlug and the two Quakens start to fly ahead, the twins stealing a boat and sailing after us in the panicking rush.

"Uh, what happened to Barf and Belch?" Snotlout asks and I whirl around looking at her as Asher, Snotlout and Heeth fly up next to us. "Why is the island sunk and where did those two Quakens come from? -I feel like we missed a lot." Snotlout deadpans the last part.

"Your highness we know what Viggo wants the marble for; he's building a dragon proof strong hold." Asher explains.

"A strong hold." I echo. "We need to strike immediately."

"It won't do any good, marble can withstand dragon fire." Heeth says and I lift up my hands a snowflake hovering on my palm.

"Yes, but can it withstand ice?" I ask and Heeth, Asher and Snotlout share a look.

The Quakens roar and I look back at them as Fishlegs looks them in the eyes, "No," she says firmly with emotion, "no more work." She drops the hammer and it lands with a splash in the ocean. The Quakens stare at her curiously. "Iyn…" Fishlegs asks hesitantly, "What do we do about the Quakens?"

I purse my lips and look back at them, "You Snotlout and Heeth take them to Dark Deep, they've earned their retirement, me and Asher will deal with the stronghold." I assure and she nods.

"Alright, come on guys." She says and leads Meatlug forward. Heeth and Snotlout give me a small shrug before turning their dragons and guiding them after the other three dragons.

"What about the twins?" Asher asks.

I look down at them, "The only place they're going is Dragon's Edge, let's go." I say and lead Toothless away from the group then pause, "Actually," I say and look back at Asher, "you should lead, I have no idea where this is."

….

We reach Viggo's base quickly and I spot the marble my eyes widening it's huge, a giant circular marble dome. "There it is." Asher says, pulling Stormfly to a halt. Toothless echoes the Deadly Nadder and I release a breath before closing my eyes focusing.

There's a small rumbling noise as I lift up my hands the power drawing from them, my fingers curl in on themselves at the pressure and I snap open my eyes building up the two large ice pillares. The ice shoots through the marble in all directions breaking it apart as if it's were made of paper shreds, the blue stalks spread out like a giant mountain of ice from the ground and I twist my wrist slightly the ice settling. I look back at Asher, "Let's go help the twins." I say and he shakes his head in amazement before nodding.

000o000

Viggo nad Rika walk forward and come to a halt staring at the giant bits of ice smashed together to form the tower. Rika's eyes widen, "Viggo how?" She murmurs.

"Haedryin." Viggo says angrily and his eyes narrow, "This has gone on for long enough and I promise you sister: this ends now."
