HTTYD: A Phantom in the Mist
Author's Note: I am writing this as a Ruffstrid and a DP crossover. Yes it will be the first of its kind that I know. If anyone does any fan art or anything associated, my deviantart is JDTxProductions. Thanks. BTW I DON'T OWN DP or HTTYD!
Astrid's POV
Ruff and I were wandering aimlessly on a date-ish, kinda thing. I heard a bunch of solid thuds coming from behind us. Although I didn't have my axe and Ruff was unarmed, I had my mini dagger that I always kept hidden in the waistband of my skirt with me. I drew it and followed the sound of footsteps from what made that loud thud that sounded like something hitting the ground. Hard.
I was surprised to find a boy in some really, really strange clothes. He had hair as black as Toothless. He had rather pale skin. He looked surprised to see me. He honestly scared me. It wasn't the way he was dressed or how he just randomly appeared on our island, but it was the way that his eyes were. They were icy blue. They seemed almost as knowledgeable as the elders, but they were also filled with pain, suffering, and confusion.
Ruff grabbed my arm, and said "We should go and get Hiccup and Toothless. They'd know what to do. This kid gives me the creeps." I agreed, and he did give off some strange vibHe looked to us and spoke some strange language. I gave the universal sign for, come here. I turned to Ruff and said "We'll bring him to them!" she looked at me as if I were crazy. I just ignored her.
The boy didn't try to talk. I guess he realized that we speak no where near the same language. I soon found Hiccup and Stoik. I showed them the boy and explained how I found him. Ruff was still on high alert. Stoik looked at the boy. He was built much like Hiccup, in the fact that he was scrawny and small. Hiccup reached out his hand, before I knew it, Hiccup was on his back behind the black haired boy.
The boy must've reacted in the sense that Hiccup was to hurt him. Hiccup got up and smiled, for he knew that the boy was new to this environment and was probably scared. I watched with much curiosity at how he'd react. I decided to take a simpler approach. I looked at the boy, and pointed to myself and said really slowly "My name is Astrid." The boy then slowly repeated my name, as if it was a really strange name and uncommon. I guess that it might be a bad name where he came from.
He smiled and pointed to himself. He said "Danny". I don't know where he came from, but that is a strange name. I pointed to Hiccup and said his name. He started snickering at his name, and Stoik reacted by grabbing him by the collar of his tunic. Hiccup and I tried to get him to stop, but the boy, Danny, had Stoik on the ground faster than any other Viking on Berk had ever done it.
I was surprised that a boy of Hiccup's size and build could even stop Stoik in a battle. Ruff soon ran into the fray and broke up the two fighters. Just as Stoik got up, Danny walked over to us, as if he was afraid of Stoik and didn't even want to attack in the first place.
Danny's POV
Thanks to my powers, I just beat a really tough, Viking-esque guy and the girl, who's name is Astrid was shocked. Hiccup, gods, how can someone be named Hiccup? If I'm right, I'm on a Viking island, so how is a Viking named Hiccup? I laughed and the older guy, who I guess is Hiccup's father, attacked. Thanks to my powers, I win. The big Viking got up and started chuckling. I guess that he was surprised and amused.
The three started speaking in Norse, and thanks to my Norwegian grandparents, I was able to pick up things. They were talking about me and what they should do with me. I focused on the lessons my grandparents had forced me to take. I said "I am not trying to harm you, it was a reaction. I am sorry." In their language.
Apparently it worked. They started saying a lot of stuff so fast I couldn't keep up. I then tried to say "Slow down. I cannot understand this language completely" but must've butchered it because Astrid and the blonde girl, who I've noticed is really, really protective of Astrid, started cracking up. I realized that I said "women" instead of language, but they got my point. I was led to a large hall with about three other teens in it.
They fed me some sort of fish. I ate. I haven't eaten since Vlad and I were fighting in the Ghost Zone, and he kicked me into a temporary portal that popped up. That was like, two days ago. I think. Time sucks in the Ghost Zone. The fish was really good and really fresh. The father of Hiccup led me. Hiccup, Astrid, and the blonde to the table, once there, he instructed all the others to be nice and get whatever information about me they could get out of me.
I noticed the blonde girl and Astrid were holding hands. Then it clicked. I literally crashed in on their date. Like Tucker and Sam had always said, I was slow at noticing that sort of thing.
Astrid introduced me to a boy that was obviously the identical twin of the blonde girl that she was dating. Their names were Ruffnut, the girl, and Tuffnut, the guy. Ruff introduced me a fat kid named Fishlegs, and the one who seemed to be the arrogant jock type named Snotlout. I felt my powers surge, and I soon was able to understand everything that the teens were saying, as if I had grown up speaking their language.
They asked me my name, and I told them "My name is Danny. I am fourteen years of age. I don't know how I got here, or how I am supposed to get home. I guess that I'll be forced to stay here now." That silenced the group. They were surprised at how fluently I answered them. Especially Hiccup, Astrid, and Ruffnut. Hiccup looked like he'd seen a ghost. Astrid, whose been holding Ruff's hand the entire meal, just studied me, and Ruff was oblivious to much besides Astrid.
I smiled to Hiccup and said "What's the matter? It looks as if you'd seen a demon!" (A demon is what translates to ghost in this language!) Hiccup said "I just saw your eyes turn a really strange shade of green!"
