Fall From Grace: Dart's Pain
Chapter 3: A Misadventure (Part 2)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luna and the Defenders reached the volcano and saw Toothless and Hookfang already there. Hookfang using his saliva to melt large pieces of rock so Toothless could use them to block the path the lava was taking.
"Toothless! Where's Dart?" Luna ask worriedly.
"I don't know, but we have to stop the lava first! Dart wasn't calling for help when I arrived, so I assume he is safe for the time being," Toothless answered. Besides, as reckless as he is, he knows how to take care of himself... most of the time."
"You're right," Luna replied. "Then how do we stop the lava?"
"Hookfang and I were trying to block its path with rocks to slow it down. But if we don't hurry it will pollute the water with sulfur and make it undrinkable," Toothless said as he moved another boulder in front of the lava's path.
Luna looked at the lava flowing at a faster rate than she would have liked. Her mind racing, she got an idea that would stop the lava from contaminating the water.
"I have an idea! We need to dig a deep hole for the lava to fill. By the time its full the eruption should be over," Luna suggested.
"Good idea, but how will will we dig that in time? None of us can dig that fast," Toothless answered.
"I can take care of that, just keep blocking the path with rocks," Luna replied.
"Right!" Toothless said as he began placing more rocks in the lava's path.
Luna turned to the rest of the Defenders and started barking orders.
"All of you help Toothless and Hookfang stack rocks to block the lava. I'm going to find a Whispering Death," Luna stated as she took off. Whispering Deaths are great at hole digging since they make their dens underground. Luna kept flying until she saw one drinking some water from one of the streams that branched off from the main lake.
"Hello, Mr. Death, can you help me?" Luna asked hurriedly.
"What do you need?" The Whispering Death answered gruffly.
"The volcano is erupting and we need you to dig a hole to catch the lava and prevent it from contaminating the water," Luna explained.
"What do you mean contaminate the water?" The Whispering Death questioned.
"The lava contains sulfur, if the lava hardens to rock by the water, it will also contaminate the water with sulfur, making unsafe to drink," Luna answered, hoping for him to agree to help.
"Then what are we waiting for? I have a hole to dig," The Whispering Death responded.
"Follow me!" Luna replied taking off into flight.
The Whispering Death nodded and took off into flight after Luna.
=================HTTYD===================
Toothless and the rest of the Defenders had been busy building a blockade out of the rocks and boulders around the area when Luna returned with a Whispering Death.
"Luna! I see you found a Whispering Death. Did he agree to help?" Toothless asked.
Luna answered Toothless' question quickly, "Yes he did. Now we have to hurry; we don't have much time"
Toothless nodded his agreement. "Right, me and the Defenders have already built a rock wall. That should buy you and the Whispering Death some time to dig that hole."
