Selene's POV
It's been a few weeks since I was cured of the Scourge of Odin, and let's say that my boyfriend was more obsessed with finding Viggo and destroying him. Right now, all the riders and their dragons were making Gronckle Iron walls, to reinforce the base. Crystal, Sandstorm, Lillian and myself were just watching them. I was still shaky, not gonna lie, and my sister told me that I needed to relax. "Poor dragons. I'm sorry but your boyfriend's behavior has become much like a tyrants," my sister told me and I just nodded my head. "Unfortunately yes," I told her while watching the dragons. I then saw Fishlegs hugging Meatlug while the Gronckle's tail wagged like mad. Meatlug's job was obvious, she made the Gronckle Iron. Hookfang shaped it, Barf and Belch used their heads as hammers to even it out, while Stormfly welded the walls together. After a while though, all the dragons looked like there were gonna collapse. I saw Toothless land and saw Fishlegs asking Hiccup if it was alright if Meatlug took a break. Hookfang then collapsed and accidentally shot a fireball at Barf and Belch, which set them off and soon, all the dragons were fighting, even Toothless got in on it. "Alright," I sighed and let out a massive roar. All the dragons looked up at where I was and I pointed for them to go to their corners. I then saw the twins were hanging upside from a tree with Stormfly's spikes holding them up. I got on Crystal and she flew down and landed next to my boyfriend. "What is going on?" Hiccup asked.

"Are you that oblivious?" Lillian asked my lover as she and Sandstorm flew down. "You're pushing the dragons way too hard. Look at them. They can't even stand on their own claws without nearly falling over due to exhaustion," Lillian told my lover. "You know, Hookfang and I could really use a vacay," Snotlout spoke, with a hopeful smile. "Vacation? Count us in. We'll grab our straw helmets and a chilling tale of viking muddy to read on some enchanted beach, laughing as the waves crashed against us," Tuffnut fantasized, but was cut off by Hiccup. "Guys, I get that you're all tired, but remember why we're doing this." Snotlout just groaned and told the boy that he told us to. "No, because Viggo is out there. And when he realizes he can't fully use the Dragon Eye without the key. He's gonna come looking for it. We can't leave the Edge unguarded again," Hiccup spoke. "So, yay or nay on the vacation?" Tuffnut asked the boy. Hiccup just sighed and walked away towards his hut. I just sighed and looked towards the other riders and they were all looking at me. "I know, I know. I'll go talk to him and I know just the thing we need. Fishlegs, how much sandstone do we have left?" I asked the boy. "Not much," he smiled, realizing where I was going with this. "Good thing I know an island nearby that has a good supply of it and it's deserted too," Lillian commented. "Show me the island on my map, then I'll go tell Hiccup," I told them. After Lillian showed me where the island was, Crystal flew to Hiccup's hut, where he was working on his map. "Still working hard on your map, huh?" I asked him as Crystal walked into the hut. "Yeah," Hiccup muttered and continued to draw on it. I just groaned and whistled really loudly. "What the?!" My lover shouted and dropped his pencil to put his hands to his ears. "Now that I have your attention, we need to talk about the Red Death in the room," I told my lover as I carefully climbed off Crystal. "What Red Death in the room?" My lover asked me. "Geez! This man is oblivious!" Crystal roared and laid down next to me. "You're pushed the dragons way too hard, love. They need a break before they do something rash," I told him. "Selene, we went over this," Hiccup spoke and I just raised my hand, cutting him off. "Just hear me out. We've completely exhausted the Edge's supply of sandstone and we need it to make Gronckle Iron. Now, Lillian showed me an island that has a great supply of it, and it is deserted. Perfect place for a break," I told him. "I don't have a choice do I? Where is this island?" He asked me and I pointed to the island that Lillian showed me on his map. Crystal then helped me onto her back, and I looked back at my lover. "You're playing a dangerous game, love. This obsession you have with trying to pull one over Viggo isn't healthy. And it's starting to effect everyone around you. Think about what you're planning to do next," I told him and Crystal flew off before he could get a word in.
