General POV
A lone figure stood on a hill overlooking a small town. As he watched, the inhabitants went about their business. None of them payed attention to him, they were already used to his presence and appearance.
The figure was 5" 4' tall and looked like a normal human on first glance, but upon closer inspection the observer would notice that this 'human' had claws instead of nails, as well as fangs instead of normal teeth. This figure was none other than Mat, one of only 3 humans to currently exist in this world. His eyes were currently sky-blue, but would change colors as his emotions changed and developed.
When his eyes were sky-blue it showed that he had a lack of emotions and was feeling normal, or that what he was feeling at that time was not overpowering. When they changed to red it meant that he was angry, green was fear or confusing, yellow was happiness, and dark pink meant he think of someone as a friend. There is another pink color that his eyes can change to, but it is rarely seen. No-one knows what it means as he hasn't told anyone.
A lone falcon swooped down out of the sky and landed beside Mat, before taking the form of a human woman. She came to visit Mat rarely and when she did it usually meant that she had something that she wanted him to do. Since Mat was 18 she had been coming to him and sending him on quests to over worlds and universes. That was, until the last time she had sent him off on a quest.
He had shifted worlds to that of his own in a parallel universe, one in which the government conducted cruel tests on its citizens. Unfortunately for Mat, the government had caught him and had started doing all sorts of different tests on him. They had split his genes with that of a dragon, giving him the claws and fangs that he had now, as well as, he suspected, the longevity of a dragon. He believed that he now was immortal, seeing as dragons couldn't die from old age. Another of the abilities that he had gained was that of speed, he could run at 50mph over a flat plain without breaking into a sweat.
After being silent for several minutes after the woman landed next to him, Mat spoke up. "What do you want this time Yandi?"
The woman, now known as Yandi, did not reply immediately. This did not faze Mat in the slightest though, as he was used to the amount of time that she could take to reply to a question.
"You remember the world that I sent you to previously, the one with the Vikings? Well, the boy that helped you stop the dragon queen wasn't supposed to grow up there. I want to send you to the world that he was supposed to grow up in, in order to train him in the ways that I trained you. Once he arrives there and meets up with you, you'll have 2 months to train him before I bring you back here."
"Do you think that that is such a wise choice, Yandi? Taking him out of the environment that he knows and understands, and putting him in one that is completely new to him?"
"No, but I must move him soon, or else it will be too late to shift him between worlds. If I leave him there for too much longer, then he will become involved with one who will use him for his station and rank in the village. Once that happens, I will not be able to change his course in history."
"That's good enough for me, I suppose. But I would like to make a request of you."
For a moment, Yandi looked surprised, before her expression changed back to that of the emotionless one that Mat had grown accustomed to.
"If it is within my power, then I will do my best to grant it. With what you had to go through in the last world, you deserve it."
"My request is this, I leave tomorrow, giving me time to say goodbye to the others. I also want to take the sisters with me."
"Is that all?" Yandi asked, slightly surprised that that was all that he wanted.
"No, I also want the ability to be able to change my form to that of whatever I desire while in this new world."
Yandi was silent for several moments, trying to calculate whether or not it was within her power to grant his request.
"You know, even with my power as a demi-god, what you have asked will be pushing my power to its limit. Transporting you and the sisters to the world that I want to send you to, as well as giving you the ability to change forms requires a lot of energy, and I won't be able to do it all at once. I can transport you and the sisters there in one go, but then it will be at least a week before I can give you the ability to change forms.
"It is within my ability though. So I will grant your request. You will have to stay there for an extra month though, so that I can regain enough of my powers to bring you all back."
"Thank you, Yandi. It means a lot to me that you would be willing to allow me to take the sisters with me."
"That's fine Mat. You have earned the right to make a request of me. I will leave now to prepare a place for you. There will be a hut near the river that you will appear next to. This is where you will stay. Its several miles away from the town of Urgaldi. You won't need to visit the town though as the larder will be self-replenishing."
With that said, Yandi changed back into a falcon and flew off into the sun from which she had come.
Mat POV
I stood on the hill after Yandi had left, thinking about what she had said to me, and about how the sisters would accept it. As I was thinking about this, one of the sisters that we had been talking about walked up next to me. She was 4" 5'and had shiny white colored soft scales, she was also humanoid, having all of the assets that a human female has.
I spoke up without diverting my gaze for a millisecond. "Mornin' Pearl, what's up?"
Pearl wasn't even the slightest bit surprised that I knew that it was her. She knew about my ability to read the hearts of the people around me, as well as being able to read their minds and tell when they were lying.
"Not much." Pearl replied speaking barely above a whisper, "Ruby's racing RD again, but other than everything is fine. I do have a question though, who was that woman that was beside you?"
"Her name is Yandi, she's a demi-god. She's the one that trained me, remember what I told you when we first met? About how she was the one that helped me to jump from world to world, going on quests and having fun?"
In her quite voice Pearl responded, "Yes Mat, I remember. She trained you in how to read People's minds and hearts so that you could tell when they were lying to you."
"Yes, that's true. But what I didn't tell you is that she also trained me in how to use magic, but not the same type that the unicorns here can use. She taught me how to use the magic of the gods. Please don't tell the others about this ability yet, I would prefer to tell them myself."
"For you Mat, but I don't like having to keep secrets from my sisters. So what was Yandi doing here then?"
"She has another mission for me to go on."
"But I don't want you to leave me." Pearl said, quickly starting to sob. This caught my attention instantly and I knelt down next to her so that we were eye-to-eye.
"Did I say anything about leaving you Pearl?"
"No, but I thought…" She broke down into tears again.
"Shhh, it's okay." I said to her in a quiet voice, trying to calm her down and get her to stop crying. "I won't be leaving you. In fact, I made sure that you and your sisters were coming with me."
Pearl looked me in the eyes, which were now a light pink, and stopped crying. "Really?" She asked in a quivering voice.
"Really"
"But what about the others?"
"You mean the elements?" Pearl nodded in response to my question. "They will have to stay here while we're away. To them it will be 3 weeks, but to us it will be 3 months. I would have had them come with us, but they have jobs which they can't leave for that period of time."
"So it'll only be you, me, and my sisters?"
"Yes, just like before we met the Elements."
Pearl put on an all-out smile before rushing forward and smashing her lips into mine. She held that position for a full two minutes before pulling away.
"What was that for?" I asked, still stunned from what she had just done. My eyes were slowly changing from the green color that they had adopted when she rushed forwards, to their previous color.
"For making sure that we could go with you." She said, smiling softly while I resisted the urge to go D'AWWW.
I hugged her; she was just so sweet that I could have stayed in that position all day and still want to hold her. Eventually I had to let go though, we had stuff to do.
"Come on Pearl, we have to go get ready."
*Meanwhile in Berk*
A teenager ran out of a house in the middle of the village, running around people and objects while making his way towards the forest that surrounded the village.
He and his dad didn't fight often, but when they did it usually ended up with him running towards the forest to go to the cove where he had made his first friend. The place was special to him, and it helped him to calm down.
He had been coming out here a lot recently.
He hadn't been there for 5 minutes before there was a rustling in the foliage that came from the way that he had come. He spun around; ready to yell at whomever it was that came out of the forest.
His words died in his mouth when he saw who it was. The figure that emerged from the forest was none other than the one that made this place special to him.
"Hey Toothless", the boy spoke up to the black dragon that had emerged from the forest. I should have guessed that it was you that was following me. It's not like anyone else knows where this place is; let alone how to find it."
Toothless just stared blankly at the boy for a moment before walking up to him and nuzzling his face. He couldn't help but burst out laughing at the dragon's antics.
*Time Stop*
Mat emerges from the shadows within the tree line as the boy and the dragon are frozen in place as time stops flowing. "Are you planning on telling the readers the boy's name?"
(Incomprehensible words are called out at Mat as he stands there waiting for an answer)
"Fine, if you won't tell them then I will. Readers of the internet, I am here speaking to you today because the author has decided to leave out the boy's name for this chapter. I am here because I believe that the author is just trying to piss everyone off. To dispel all doubts about his name, it is Hiccup. Thank you for listening to this announcement."
With that said, Mat fades back into the tree line to observe events as they happen.
*Time Start*
Hiccup wasn't paying any attention to his surroundings now; he was just enjoying the company of his friend.
After a while though, he became restless and needed a way to release some of his energy, so he spoke up to his draconic companion; "Come on Toothless, let's go flying."
Without waiting for a reply, Hiccup jumped into the saddle that was still strapped onto Toothless' back from their morning flight and strapped himself in. Once Hiccup was strapped in, Toothless launched himself into the air and started heading towards the ocean near Berk.
*1 hour later*
Hiccup and Toothless were just about to start to head back towards Berk, when a strange tingling sensation passed over them. It went away almost as soon as it had appeared and neither Hiccup, nor Toothless thought anything of it. That was until 15 minutes later.
Just as Berk was coming back into view, a bright flash filled the sky and a glow surrounded the pair of friends and they disappeared from sight. When they emerged they appeared to be unconscious and were falling through the sky towards Berk's harbour.
They hit the water with a resounding crash as the water halted their movement completely, ripping their bodies to pieces and praying blood everywhere, as well as bits of shredded flesh.
To the villagers of Berk, the two heroes were gone forever.
