Meraki7734: It is sort of Fishlout or just friendship, however people want to take it. Thank you so much for reviewing, but I am not taking requests for stories right now. I still have like 15 more ideas I'm going to write.
sdkop21: Thank you. Sorry for the long wait until the next chapter.
Anonymous Noob the 2nd: Thanks.
Guest: Sorry I am not taking requests right now, but that is an interesting idea.
A/N: Sorry for the long wait but here's the next chapter. I am not taking requests for stories right now. I don't own Rtte or Httyd, or I would have kept Viggo alive.
What-If: What happens when it is the midnight sun week and Viggo has not gotten any sleep.
Ryker was looking for Viggo. It was now the fifth day of the midnight sun, and uncharacteristically, Viggo had not slept at all. Normally he would have at least gotten some sleep, not wanting his mind to be muddled by lack of sleep. However, obsessing over how to defeat those Thor-forsaken Dragon Riders took up most of his time now. Viggo had taken advantage of the fact that it never got dark to obsess even more.
As he approached Viggo's tent, which was smack dab in the middle of the spiral-shaped island, he was hoping to force Viggo to get some sleep, before sleep deprivation caused what was famously known as the 'midnight sun effect'. Last time it had ever effected Viggo was when he was ten years old, and he had spent the majority of the day believing he was a dragon, a Skrill to be exact, before falling asleep.
The hides that made up the entrance of Viggo's tent were being kept open for the sunlight to filter in. Walking through the entrance, he saw the familiar figure of his brother, scribbling furiously on a piece of parchment. "Viggo." Viggo started, as if just noticing him. That in itself was and indication of just how much lack of sleep had affected him. Typically always on guard, even while planning, he would have heard Ryker's footsteps before he even entered the hut. He would never have been surprised by his entrance.
"Have you seen Jade? I haven't seen her since yesterday," Viggo asked, still facing away from Ryker at his desk.
"Jade?" Ryker questioned, now certain the 'midnight sun effect' had a hold on Viggo.
"Come now brother, surely you haven't forgotten about our own little sister?" Viggo asked, amused.
"Viggo, we don't have a sister," Ryker insisted, annoyance bleeding into his voice. Chuckling, Viggo stood up and turned to face Ryker.
"Ryker, I do believe you are suffering from lack of sleep, which has resulted in you forgetting about Jade." Viggo spoke slowly, as if speaking to a small child.
Leave it to Viggo to retain the ability to speak rationally, even while sleep deprived and speaking of a nonexistent sister. Ryker thought. "It is not I who am suffering from lack of sleep, it is you. I made sure I got enough sleep. You thought it would be a good idea to not sleep at all. Now you are going on about an imaginary sister of ours!" he said, yelling the last part.
"Consider this attentively Ryker, I can recall clear and concise memories of our sister, and if the midnight sun was influencing me, my consciousness would conceive memories I don't recall, something not meticulously stored in my memories, and I would not remember it in my memories and I would not sustain the ability to communicate these memories because they would not be genuine memories. As that assuredly not the case, it's you who the midnight sun has captured in its invulnerable grip,"
Now he is still speaking in the intellectual way he usually does, even more so, but he is speaking nonsense. Intellectual nonsense. Ryker thought, grinning at Viggo's nonsensical speech. "If you really believe Jade is a real person, then tell me this brother, what does she look like, and how is she?" asked Ryker, now thoroughly amused by the sleep deprived Viggo.
"Her name is Jadeite Grimborn, and she's nineteen years old, she has short black hair that comes to her shoulders, and dark blue eyes. She wears a green shirt with a belt made of woven grass, and it has a dagger on it. She wears a dyed purple leather skirt and gray leggings. She has gronckle iron shoulder pads and boots made from the skin of a Vicious Mindbender. She also has a necklace with a piece of green jade shaped like a tooth, remember, the one we gave to her on her eight birthday? The weapon she uses is a green dragon-proof metal sword like yours, but only one. She is also very good, almost as good as me at Maces and Talons" Viggo said in quick succession, and Ryker had a hard time keeping up with what he was saying.
"Alright, I believe you, even though I don't remember her, let's go look for her then." Ryker said, playing along, wondering what Viggo would do.
The rest of the day was spent looking for Jade, at least Viggo was, and confusing many of the Hunters, until they started playing along too. Viggo was convinced the Dragon Riders had kidnapped 'Jade', and was going to attack them, but Ryker convinced him that sleeping would make him more alert and ready for battle, as his reaction time was off, proved by the many times Ryker was able to surprise Viggo by sneaking up behind him.
When Viggo woke up, he was back to normal, but didn't remember any of what he had done, and Ryker was quick to remind him, as were the Hunters Viggo had encountered yesterday. The best thing that came from the situation was having a comeback for whenever Viggo subtly or not-so-subtly hinted at his lesser intelligence. At least he hadn't foolishly spent nearly the entirety of the midnight sun week awake. At least he hadn't gone on rambling about an imaginary sister of theirs.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
A few weeks later however, Viggo came up to him holding something in his hand. "Do you know where this came from?" When Ryker looked closely at it, he realized it was a necklace, with a tooth-shaped piece of jade on it.
Ryker fainted
and Viggo was left wondering
what had happened
at least until Ryker
woke up and told him
just what he had told Ryker
about Jade
during the midnight sun week.
Jade was actually a character I was going to create and Viggo and Ryker would think she was dead and Jade would think they were dead because dragons had burned down their village. Jade was going to be a Dragon Rider, would ride a Vicious Mindbender and convince Viggo that dragons were good, but realized Jade's story was too much like Heather's and then decided not to write about her.
