Remi gasped, staggering back in shock. This had to be a lie, it had to!
"How… how was I born in the twenty first century then?!" Now, Old Man Time stood up with the aid of a walking stick adorned with a watch on the top.
"These fools messed with your clock because of a stupid and drunken dare!" He exclaimed, hitting them over the head with his walking stick. Neither the Leprechaun or April Fool tried to defend themselves.
"Aye," The Leprechaun sighed. "In hindsight, it was a wee bit daft." Another smack with the walking stick, and Old Man Time sat back down. Mother Nature turned back to Remi.
"In order to fix this mistake, we needed the permission of the Norse Gods to send you back to your predestined time. Thor agreed to be the one to send you back, but under the condition that you think it was only to help Hiccup. I spent months fighting to gain permission to tell you the truth."
"But, why is it so important to fix it?" Remi inquired. Old Man Time was the one to explain.
"In any other case, time adapts, but you are needed in this time for your great great granddaughter. She is supposed to become someone of utmost importance. A Guardian of Childhood."
Old Man Time waved his walking stick in a circle, the watch creating a mist that began to show a vision of a girl. She held an uncanny resemblance to Remi, but had brown eyes instead of her blue and green. She was sitting with a group of children, drawing in the dirt as she told a story. She wore an orange and black dress with red cloak around her shoulders.
"Remira, meet your great great granddaughter Evie." Mother Nature introduced. Remi watched as the mist changed to show Evie with a sick little girl. Evie was feeding her a soup, and after just a few bites, you could visibly see a change in the small child. She was lively, her pale skin gaining back some of its pink hues.
"Your descendant is a witch who cares for the children in her village in France."
"What happens to her? Remi wondered.
"She is accused of black magic and sentenced to death. In her cell, the Man in the Moon chose her to become the spirit of All Hallow's Eve. Her center of creativity aids her in bringing children joy."
This all sounded insane, but she was brought to Berk by Thor, and if that was true, maybe all of this was as well. She had one question that plagued her though.
"What about my brother, Ash?" Old Man Time made the mist disperse, sitting down to answer her.
"He'll be born again as a single child. He was never supposed to have a sister, and because of the mess up in time, time tried to adapt by placing you with him. That's why your eyes are two different colors. You were to be born with green eyes, like young Hiccup, but you were born with one of Ashton's blue eyes."
"Okay," She sighed. "But is he still going to end up an orphan? Is he still going to die?" Time didn't answer. Remi sucked in a breath, trying not to cry. She felt a comforting hand place itself on her shoulder.
"Remira," It was Mother Nature. "I know we cannot erase the memories of Ashton from your mind, but… in recompense for what was done, we shall adjust time and give Ashton a loving home. He shall live to have children, grandchildren, and will endure a life of love." They would do that? Remi looked at Mother Nature, eyes now spilling tears. She couldn't say the words to thank her, so she just hugged Mother Nature instead. Mother Nature was quick to hug back, giving off a soft and maternal feel. Parting, Time, the Fool, and the Leprechaun had stood up from their seats and walked over to Remi and Mother Nature. The Fool stepped forward.
"I know Leppy and I were, well, fools to mess with time. It won't happen again. I promise. Also, as a gift from us to you, here." The Fool gave Remi a small flute necklace.
"It's got sixteen uses, four for each of us to help you when you need it the most. Use it carefully."
Remi nodded her head, slipping the necklace on. Mother Nature took her place beside the other three spirits.
"It is time for you to go back. Goodbye Remira, and good luck." A flash of golden light filled to room, causing Remi to shield her eyes. They were gone.
Hiccup was pacing around the plaza, everyone watching him in worry. Toothless had tried to calm his human companion down, but the panic was just too much for him. A sudden burst of light from the horizon caused him to stop and turn. The island was vanishing.
"Remi!" He screamed. Before he could try and saddle up, Nova stopped him with a tug of his tunic. A cloud of mist appeared, taking shape of a person. It parted way to reveal the one and only Remi. She and Hiccup ran to each other, enveloping one another in a massive hug.
"Hiccup, I'm alright." She assured the viking.
"Yeah, well I'm not taking any chances." Remi called everyone to the Great Hall where they now sat. The dragons, the teens, Stoick, and Gobber sat as Remi explained everything to them, taking her time to let them understand it all.
"Apparently the April Fool and the Leprechaun had messed up time, causing me to be born in the twenty first century. I was actually supposed to be born in this time period, as Hiccup's twin sister." They all gasped. Stoick stood up to pace.
"You mean to tell me you are supposed to be my daughter, and these people took you away from us?" She nodded, knowing how it feels to have family ripped away from you. Nova nuzzled up to Remi, her scales turning blue in reflection to the sadness she felt.
"They needed to fix it so they had Thor send me back here, where my destiny can still be met."
"An' wha' destiny is tha'?" Gobber questioned. Everyone murmuring in agreement.
"To have my kids and their kids to have kids and for their kids to have kids. My great great granddaughter needed to be born in this era. She is necessary for the future. I can't say why, it just needed to happen." Yawning, Remi scratched Nova absently mindedly.
"It's late, I think we should get some sleep." The teens and Gobber dispersed, agreeing with her. Hiccup, Toothless, and Stoick stayed behind.
"Remi," Stoick started. "You don't have to, but I have been discussing this with Hiccup. We would like for you to move in with us, and again you don't have to, but I would feel better knowing both my kids were near."
Remi froze at this. It was kind of obvious to everyone that she and Hiccup had a sibling like relationship, and Gobber even told her once that Stoick thought of her as one of his own, but she didn't realize how serious he was about it. Stoick, Hiccup, Nova, and Toothless were the closest thing she had to a family here, and now she knew why. She smiled at them, accepting the invitation.
"Thank you, it feels nice to have a family again." Hiccup and Stoick enveloped her in a bear hug, the dragons soon joining. Once she had a brother, and though she wasn't supposed to have been born to him, she loved him all the same. Now, she had a new brother and a father in her life. A plethora of friends to keep her happy. And she loved them just as much.
(Thank you so much for reading. I have been planning to make this a Rise of the Guardians crossover to a while and now I have the perfect premise to. Evie, the spirit of All Hallow's Eve is the Guardian of Creativity. She will become a Guardian long before Jack rises from the lake. Welcome to the Guardians will not be coming out for a while, as the series of How to Train Your Dragon is going to take a looooooooong time to write out and I am going to be doing a story of the third movie as well, which I am dying to see. I hope you guys enjoy the Welcome To series, and am thrilled you guys are reading it, and I will see you all in the next story!)
