Got Your Head In The Clouds

Like I said before home is like a tree, it starts off small than grows. But even with this mentality of a home. I still must of had my head in the clouds when I came up with the idea to live in a tree-house. Though ironically enough I did have my head in the clouds literally.

I was taking a well deserved break from the pain staking construction of Heimaviðr. Flying in the clouds clearing my head and relaxing because since I had to design it, figure out how to build it and put it all together, with help in everything from Astrid of course. To put it simply I needed a break... Badly. I was just by myself, Astrid was preparing lunch in our construction site. Probably a large cod with butter sauce we got from our raid, it's simple enough that Astrid can't make it inedible... hopefully.

I reflected on our progress on the construction. We had made the stairs up to the main branches. They were made by sticking logs into the trunk supported by beams and such. Then placing planks on the logs to make stairs. The foundation of the house was done finally, it had taken us a week just for that. The foundation was made with a mixture of large logs, stones and planks for flooring. We had nailed all this to the centre of where the branches, ...um... branched out.

This coupled with the fact winter is coming, added to our excitement and anxiousness to complete our home. But we still had a long way to go from the walls of what we planned to be a 3 storey house. To the rooms and roof but we have our dragons and Crimson even decided to help us out with it tomorrow. Which will most definitely put us ahead of schedule.

Then after all that I had the fun and creative task a fitting out the house with designs and such. Which I had plenty in my notebook and in my head. So to sum it, up things were coming along nice and smoothly.

Meathead Island

Berk's ships had arrived at the Meathead Island to talk to Mogadon the Earl of the island. "Ahh Stoick what a pleasant surprise, What brings ya to my island me old friend?" Mogadon asked in his impossibly thick accent. An accent so thick it is often not uncommon for people to hilariously misinterpret words. For example when Mogadon said "What brings ya to my Island?" if you weren't within 3 metres of the man you would of heard. "Twat sings ya U y Pieland" I know weird and hilarious.

"Um well we are here to talk to about some events that has occurred on Berk. Events I like to keep private for the time being." Stoick replied, Seeing the seriousness of it Mogadon just nodded in response and lead them to his hall to talk.

The teens were sitting outside bored out of their minds because of this 'little' chat that had been going on for hours atleast. "Why do we have to sit through this boring shit?" Snotlout groaned, clearly annoyed about so much attention being on Hiccup. "Because we are trying to find out where they might be!" Fishlegs retorted bluntly to Snotlout. "Oh yeah Astrid that's why I'm here, well anything for 'my' babe I guess" Snotlout remembered, causing the other teens to groan loudly even Tuff was shaking his head.

"Man how stupid can you be Snotlout, if Astrid ran away with Useless of all people what hope do you have." Tuffnut proclaimed surprising everyone. Seeing how he is meant to be the stupid one. "Useless must of kidnapped her, there's no way Astrid likes that weak sack of shit!" Snotlout angrily stated denying the facts. "No way Hiccup could kidnap Astrid. He may have become good at Dragon training but he's still weak like you said, isn't he? Snotlout" Fishlegs retorted smugly. "Shut Up Fishlegs!" Snotlout shouted before muttering curses under his breath.

Stoick, Magnus and Mogadon had finished discussing what was the course of action about Hiccup and Astrid. They had come to the decision to put a bounty on their safe return. 52 gold coins was the price quite an easy way to gain some coinage for many. With that money a person could buy 3 swords which were already quite expensive at 15 gold coins. Along with this a message would be sent out to the Earldoms of The Archipelago to help spread the search.

Stoick and Magnus were dead set on finding their children no matter the cost. Still holding on to hope but not giving all hopes, to ease the likely scenario they died in the harsh climate. They were Vikings after all and death was just death, familiar to all.

Drakkar Island

Snow had started to sugarcoat the landscape of Drakkar Island. Emanating a white glow where ever you stood. The tops of Heimaviðr sprinkled with snow. As Hiccup, Astrid, Toothless, Stormfly and Even Crimson stood admiring their masterpiece. It had taken them well over 2 months of extreme engineering work and construction to complete.

They had finished Heimaviðr just in time for winter and they all were looking forward to a small feast to celebrate to coming of winter and their completion of their home. They had gathered of wild game, fish and Mead. But first they, minus Crimson since he was too large. Decided on a grand tour of their "palace". With none other than Hiccup as the Tour Guide.

The group walked over to the Grand Staircase. They took in with pride and awe the incredibly intricate designs on the Stair's railing. With long knotted serpents that wound around each other. To the carved serpents head on the bottom of the railing. Carved out like one of those great figurines on many wondrous ships. Nailed to the trunk were very thin logs with magical runes of Protection and Strength. To get the blessings of the gods on their home and to strengthen it with the power of the runes themselves.

"Here you see the Grand Staircase, whose intrinsic designs were done by me" Hiccup proclaimed proudly about his work. While gesturing to himself with his hands. Making the group roll their eyes at his antics. Though secretly they were all extremely proud of Hiccup. They had not see any of the final retrofitting of the house and it's design. Hiccup had insisted they all had to be surprised and he needed to be alone for the Gods to do their work through his hands.

While they walked slowly and steadily up the large staircase, Hiccup ran his hand along the wood of the railing. Taking in it's texture, it's shape and touch. Gazing at the knot work and the runes nailed to the trunk. Added a almost surreal feel, like it was all just on big fantasy.

As his hands brushed past the designs he remembered every hour his hands had put into it. His long slender fingers that were beyond calloused cut and scrapped but he would not have it any other way. He internally thanked each and every God and Goddess for gifting him such creative and precise hands.

"Hiccup this is amazing!" Astrid exclaimed proudly before pecking Hiccup on the cheek. Making the boy blush profusely despite how much they kissed. Then smile widely as the Dragons echoed the compliment, making Hiccup so happy he left Berk. "Thanks guys" Hiccup replied sincerely.

They neared the large Doors of house and their jaws, minus Hiccup who was just smirking dropped! The house or palace at this point was decorated with what looked like thousands of designs. The triangular shape of the roof showed off the almost scale like texture of the roof tiles which they all worked on. The sheer size of it was stupendous and breathtaking. While this cross shaped great hall of a house stood within the many tall and thick branches of Heimaviðr that jutted out of the structure. Giving it an natural look as if the knotwork flowed out of the branches.

The whole structure was painted majestically. With the walls being red with blue vertical stripes here and there making it look like pillars. The roof tiles where a pattern of red, green and blue making the whole structure stand out perfectly, with the many engravings.

Though most the structure was slightly obscured from view they were still amazed and that wasn't even the best part. The Doors displayed a truly flabbergasting view. The metal plates that supported the hinges were covered with knotwork and of two Dragons. A Night Fury and a Deadly Nadder, which made the two Dragons stare at Hiccup with awe and appreciation.

But that was not the height of the detail by far, not by a long shot. The door covered in gold and silver inlays made of wire melted, from melted down coins. The inlays, curved and twisted making it look like branches of a gold and silver tree had sprung from the wood of the door. That coupled with the knotwork on the massive door frame of a massive tree. More than just hyped them up for what would be inside

Hiccup opened the door leading them in, before 3 gasps and wide eyes exploded from their heads. On the inside displayed 2 long halls, with a high ceiling. One massive tree branch stood tall in the middle of the cross section of the two halls. This branch had a large staircase up to the second level. When you entered, a large fireplace warmed you up as you put your coat on one of the racks on your left or right.

On the walls of this entrance hall where two engravings. One on the left hand wall of the Strike Class symbol and on the right hand side one of the Sharp Class symbol. They were arranged in large circles on the walls, with knotwork circulating the edge of them and many runes blessing the home with the magic of the Gods. "The lines where all carved out and then painted" Hiccup explained seeing their interest in them.

The symbols painted respectively black and blue were the center piece's of the entrance. Large supports linked together triangularly to keep up the ceiling. And of course with all of the house it was decorated in vibrant colorful designs of dragons, serpents and more. a large dose of "Hiccup Flair" thrown into the mix and they all loved it.

Keep going forward past the central staircase you get to Hiccup's Forge. Hiccup's forge wasn't much different from the one on Berk. The exceptions being it was bigger and more advanced. Also no Gobber that old bugger, Hiccup was starting to already missing him. The anvil and weapons decorating the room only added to his thought about Gobber. The person who was more of a father to him his own. It was painted much the same as the rest of the house, except it was mostly stone being a forge and all.

Turn left from the central staircase and would get to the Feasting hall. Torches lined the as usual, decorated and carved walls. Lighting up the massive feasting table and the few chairs. Which looked like a pair of serpents had intertwined together. They were also quite comfortable with fur or wool on them. The table itself was decorated with two serpents, lining the edge of the table each devouring each-others tail.

With rows of extravagantly craved pillars on the sides of the hall. There was certainly not a lack of creativity. "Fucking Hel Hiccup you have more than just outdone yourself... you have outdone anything on Midgard!" Toothless proclaimed loudly before licking Hiccup across the face. "Eww Toothless that's gross and guys It can't be that great" Hiccup replied. Making everyone give him 'seriously' faces"What!" Hiccup shouted this made the rest of them face palm or claw/wing palm I guess.

Annoyed with his friends Hiccup lead them to the opposite end of that hall. To the Kitchen and storerooms, nothing very 'creative' there. Limited designs there but still designs atleast. From the Kitchen one could walk to the pantry to get food supplies and to a massive furnace for baking bread. Not that they had bread at the time.

"The storerooms are quite self explanatory 'storerooms'. Racks and chests to store... stuff.. yeah" Hiccup summed up nicely. "thank you for summing that all up" Astrid replied cheekily while trying to stifle a giggle at Hiccup's adorable pout. "Ok I will just ignore the fact you just stole one of my lines. Anyway moving on!"

They, having viewed the downstairs area climbed upwards on the central staircase. Once again, unsurprisingly decorated with runes and knotwork. "This knotwork, ain't it just tid bit repetitive?" Stormfly asked slightly cynically. "Nope" the rest of replied in unison. "Thought so" Stormfly replied. As their heads emerged from the stair case on the second floor. They were treated to the sight of one large indoor stables.

The walls all to the respective color scheme still applied here. With a row of pillars on each side of the custom dragons stables made excellent scratching posts for dragons that is why they were not carved at all. The walls of the stables were another story, Carvings of all kinds of Dragons littered the walls almost like if they were thrown onto them. Gronkles, ZippleBacks, Nightmares and more decorate the walls. Hay lay on the ground like any good stables would have.

Though the stable's best feature was it's draw bridge opening up to the outside world so one could fly into the stable easily. The drawbridge was operated by chains which could be raised or pulled to open or close though it was mostly open at most times. On the bridge part of it was a painted Night Fury with it's wings spread, like it was soaring through the clouds. The stable stood right above Hiccup's forge.

The vertical branch still went upwards up and out of the roof and a staircase lead upwards to a little nest. Where one could sit relax a gaze around them at the beauty of the world. Or look to the heavens in awe and wonder. The nest had a little undercover area in case of rain or snow which is where the furs would be very appealing.

Above the main Entrance was the master bedroom. Which is where clearly all the best carvings and designs were made. The bed itself was a work of art seemingly not be touched, in fear of ruining it. On the bed frame going horizontal along the floor was decorated with designs of Serpents going up past the head board and the foot of the bed.

The head board was decorated with Celtic designs of Toothless and Stormfly flying together like they were in some majestic aerial dance. Unlike most viking beds it was comfortable because of the fur on top of it. With a large fur blanket that was extremely warm and soft, as it was one the Thrall master's captain used.

A night stand, closet and a bucket to relive oneself, was the other features of this quite extraordinary bedroom. The rest of the rooms upstairs which there were 5. Where guest rooms, more just extra space then actual rooms for people at that time.

"And that's all folks, Heimaviðr in all her majestic beauty. I hope you like it because this is where you will be living hopefully til the end of our days." Hiccup joked before being tackled onto the bed by Astrid "Just because it's soft doesn't mean you have to use me as test dummy" Hiccup said sarcastically. Before Astrid punched him 'Softly' in the gut. "That's for making us wait so long to start living in here-" Astrid said before placing a passionate kiss on Hiccup's lips shutting up any protests. "And that's for the house being absolutely amazing babe" Astrid finished. "Thanks Milady"

That feast that night was amazing not just because I found my love of mead and not because we had a blast when me and Astrid tried singing an old Viking feasting song But because of how when we all slightly drunk and going to sleep me and Astrid decided to sleep under the stars. In eachothers warm, loving embrace.
