Hey guys, I wrote this last night when I got the idea. It may loosely resemble the matrix, but that is mostly coincidental. Some things will obviously remind the reader of the matrix if they have seen it. The matrix just happened to be similar.

Disclaimer: I do not own httyd, and just to make sure I do not own the matrix. I do however own my OC's.

No this is not a crossover, just making that nice and clear. It is all written in the third person unless specified.


Hiccup's POV

He was falling.

Down down down, into the depths, never to return.

The moment he had fallen he knew he wouldn't be coming back up, he knew he wouldn't see his family, he knew he wouldn't see his best friend again.

And he was never going to see her ever again.

Oh, it was all so messed up.

Falling, an instant, a moment, a slither of time caught like a feather, in slow motion, falling to the ground as the bird it came from continued to soar in the sky without giving it a second glance.

He was falling and there was nothing he could do about it.

His best friend and dragon wasn't here to save him.

And one thing stood out as he fell,

Well beyond the others,

Up higher than they would ever fly:

He was going to die.


BOOM.

That's the last thing Hiccup heard. It was accompanied by a sharp pain, then nothing.

But it wasn't nothing for long.

Soon after he knew he had died, Hiccup came to. He CAME TO. But it wasn't where he thought he'd be.

Hiccup had expected to be in some sort of afterlife, maybe something like a heaven or Valhalla. But the first feeling that reached his senses was not a nice one.

It was a sense of dread.

It became very obvious to Hiccup that he needed to open his eyes. It felt so urgent that his eyelids felt like they were pricking his eyeballs with course hairs.

Mustering up all the courage the boy had, Hiccup opened his eyes.

Ignoring the pains in his back from his harsh landing on uneven rocks, he sat up.

And what Hiccup saw would change his whole sense of reality.

Nothing could have prepared him for what he saw.


Thanks for reading!
