Two Worlds Collide

Chapter Two: Entrance to Imagination

I stood up above the cove for a good five to ten minutes, simply staring at the impossible scene before me. I was definitely glad that I hadn't run into Hiccup or one of the other Vikings right away, as I probably would have fainted on the spot. As they say, even too much of a good thing can hurt. After a little while, I finally came to terms that somehow, for reasons I would come to understand quite a while later, the "time-rip" behind me had connected my world of reality to a world of fictionality. Little did I know how much "fiction" could actually come to life here.

I turned to see that the rip was still there, and decided that, hey, what could a little exploring hurt? I worked my way around the edge of the cove until I found a way to climb down. At the bottom, no doubts were left that I was in a scene directly from How to Train Your Dragon: same waterfall, the pond taking up half the space, trees scattered here and there, and of course the scattered boulders all around me. As I was looking around, I failed to notice that I had lost a small, inexpensive cleaning cloth out of my pocket. I would later wake up to quite a shock because of it. After a while, though, even looking around the cove became a bit boring, and since I knew that there were a good many hours before my parents came home, I could spend a bit more time exploring. "I'll come back to look for the village later," I said.

After I climbed out of the cove, I made my way into the thick forest, keeping tabs on where I was headed and how to get back. It would be a rather bad thing to get lost around here, considering I knew that if the entire movie was real, there were many, uh, creatures that would be none too friendly if I crossed paths with them. Looking around, it was a forest of very tall, old growth pine trees, and all around my feet were ferns and other small plants, making it rather hard to see anything down at ground level. As I entered a rather large clearing, I heard it. "Now this is a rather interesting turn of events." I spun around, looking for the source of the feminine voice. "He is not of this time, nor this world. Is he really the one I'm looking for?" The voice seemed to flow from the trees all around me. "Who's there?" I yelled, "I am armed, and don't take likely to scare jokes." Then a gentle chuckle sounded. "A joke? I assure you this is not such a thing. You have been marked as a receiver of a gift, a gift from God, and I am the one sent to give you your gift." Not knowing who or what this was, I was unconvinced. " Look, whoever you are, show yourself or leave me alone," I snapped, "If you're mocking my beliefs, I don't take lightly to that either." Another laugh sounded, this time from directly behind me. I spun around. " Quite the contrary, other-worlder, your beliefs are mine as well, and as I was given my gift by another, you are to be given a gift by me." I narrowed my eyes. " What do you want from me?" " Only for you to stay still, and I will reveal myself." I stood there, motionless, waiting. Then the bushes in front of me rustled, then parted to reveal the last thing I expected. I knew what world I was now in, but even then, it's hard to keep your cool when a dragon steps out in front of you!

The dragon looked very much like a cream version of Toothless, but it had two full size pairs of wings overlapping each other on its back. It had one rudder-like tailfin, raised up like a sail, and a longer, more streamline body and head. The mottled pattern that Night Furies have was present, but it was the cream background with a very light reddish orange pattern. Of course, the most shocking thing was that IT WAS TALKING TO ME! " Be not frightened, I have no intention of hurting you," it said, then did something that nearly made me faint from shock. It stood up on its hind legs, and the wings and tail began melting away! The scales softened, the paws turned into hands and feet, and the color swirled around to form a long, flowing dress. Her- yes, I said her, head was no longer a dragon's, but that of a young woman with silky red hair. Needless to say, it was surprising that the only thing I did was fall back on my rear end. I had just watched a dragon transform into a girl!

"You…you're… you were a dragon!" I stammered. She laughed. " I am a dragon. I said I was given a gift, and this is it. I can turn human. You are now supposed to receive a gift from me. Please stand up if you will." I stood up, too shocked to do anything but obey. She stepped forward. "Now hear me, and remember well. When I give you the gift, you are likely to fall asleep very quickly, as that is what happened to me. When you wake up, nothing will seem to have changed, but something will happen to make you fall asleep again. The second time you wake, your gift will have revealed itself to you. Use it any way you wish, though it is my hope and the hope of the one who instructed me to pass this to you that you will use it for good, to help and heal.

"But, be warned, if you use your gift for anything evil, there will be great consequences." At this she reached out toward me and pressed one finger against my forehead. "Make the right choice." Then, a blinding light appeared where her finger touched my forehead, and a warmth, almost warm enough to burn, began to spread through me. My vision began to swim, and it felt as if the world was spinning around me. The last thing I heard before everything went black was the dragoness: "Good luck, for it is done."
