Hello readers! I literally almost forgot to update this today, but evidently I remembered! I hope you enjoy this chapter! ;D
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson or How To Train Your Dragon. If I did, they would both be the major-est fails in history. So I hope you enjoy this pitiful thing.
Astrid's P.O.V.
I was flying out from Berk to see if I could find Hiccup and Toothless. We landed on a sea stack where I dismounted to see if I could see them. "Well girl I don't see them over this way, do you?" I asked Stormfly.
She had seemed agitated the past few minutes. Suddenly her pupils contracted. "What is it girl?" I whispered. Suddenly she whipped her head to a point behind me.
I turned to find a swirling purple vortex behind me. It started pulling me in. "Stormfly!" I yelled. I managed to climb onto her back before it pulled both of us in. A shard of rock from the island pierced Stormfly's wing. We came out of the portal next to a big pile of rocks that looked like a giant fist coming out of the ground. I slid off Stormfly to check the damage to her wing when I heard a familiar roar.
My head shot up. "Toothless?" I murmured. I heard him roar again then realized that where Toothless was, Hiccup would be there too. "Stay here girl." I called to Stormfly as I started running towards the roars.
I burst out of the woods to find a small village with strange looking buildings. But my focus was immediately drawn to a large semicircle of people in strange bright-well mostly bright-clothing. I heard a roar coming from behind it and thrusting myself into the semicircle, started running again. As I burst through the semicircle I saw two people-a tall boy and girl-wearing similar clothing. As I ran past the boy he grabbed my arm and said something I didn't understand.
I wrenched my arm out of his grasp and yelled "I need to find Hiccup! Let me go! Hiccup should be around here!" I ran towards Toothless again and dropped my axe so he would recognize me because all of the people had some sort of weapon on them.
As the strange people noticed I had dropped my axe, they started yelling something at me. I ignored them though. I suddenly heard yelling just behind me. I saw the boy from earlier running at us with a sword. "No!" I yelled and quickly disarmed him. "Toothless knows where Hiccup is!" Then I turned back to Toothless.
"Toothless, where's Hiccup" He growled suspiciously at the people. "Toothless, I need Hiccup." Toothless glared suspiciously at the strange people, but opened his wings in a sight I had only seen once before, after the battle with the Red Death. "Hiccup!" I gasped.
I heard a huge intake of breath behind me and then a commotion. Suddenly I heard loud thumps coming from behind me. I turned and saw a man. But he was only half man.
Where his waist ended, a huge animal's body started. Toothless stalked in front of Hiccup and I, growling. "I do not wish you or any of the humans with you any harm unless you give me reason." Toothless let him pass. I looked at him warily, but if Toothless trusted him enough to let him near me and an unconscious Hiccup, I guessed I should trust him.
"Who are you?" I asked. "I am Chiron. I am here to help." The strange beast man said. "Can you help him?" I asked, gesturing to Hiccup. "Yes. Put him on my back." Chiron said.
I heaved Hiccup onto his back. I heard Hiccup give a small moan of pain. "Before we leave can you tell them not to kill our dragons?" I asked him. "Yes, but dragons? I only see one." I smiled and said, "This one is his. Mine is here." Then I turned around and whistled for Stormfly. She came bounding out of the woods and the strange people scattered.
Suddenly Chiron yelled out something to the strange people. They looked nervous, but they lowered their weapons. Suddenly I remembered Stormfly's wing. "Chiron?" I said. "Yes?" he said, turning back to me. "My dragon's wing is wounded." "We can get that taken care of." He assured me.
He then called something out to some of the people. About five people came forward. "It's right there, see?" They started forward towards Stormfly until she growled. "You have to put down your weapons." I said. They stared at me. I had forgotten that they couldn't understand me. I walked over to one of them. I tugged off his bow and quiver and took the supplies out of his hands.
Then I led him towards Stormfly and placed my hand on her snout. I motioned for him to do the same, and he looked at me like I was crazy. I motioned to him to do it again and he tentatively put his hand on Stormfly's snout and she nuzzled it. I showed him how to scratch under her chin, and she collapsed. I repeated this process with the other four.
Then we set to work removing the rock spike. Suddenly I saw Toothless bound over to a group of strange people and snatch something from them. He then came bounding over to me and dropped something at my feet. It was Hiccup's prosthetic.
I hadn't even noticed it was gone. The group of strange people had finished with Stormfly's wing, so I asked one of them "Where is Chiron?" She looked confused for a second, and then apparently recognized his name. She gestured for me to follow her.
I whistled for Stormfly and Toothless. She led us to a large blue building made of wood that was much different from the ones at home on Berk. Stormfly had to stay outside as the girl led me inside. Toothless bounded after us.
She led us through the house and into a room. Toothless gingerly sniffed Hiccup, who was lying on a bed, then lay down on the floor with his eyes on Hiccup. The girl was looking over him to see if he had sustained any injuries. She bandaged his head while I sat on a chair. My attention drifted, and I found myself staring at a beautiful painting.
It had a lake and a peaceful wood, covered in a mysterious mist, and bathed in the beautiful light of a rising sun. The girl suddenly gasped. I jumped and looked at her. She was holding up Hiccup's foot. She asked me something, and the message was clear. What happened to his foot?
"It's an old injury." I said. I held Hiccup's prosthetic up to his foot. "He made this when he lost it."
A small smile came to my face when I remember how he was when he first got it. Stumbling around like he was just learning how to walk again. If not for Toothless, he would have had a lot more bruises than he got. I refocused on the girl. She still looked stunned. I smiled at her, and then she left. I looked at Hiccup. He looked so peaceful lying there. I must have dozed off, because the next thing I remember is Toothless nudging me. I sat up in my chair. Then I noticed why Toothless woke me up. Hiccup woke up. "Hiccup!" I yelped, and hugged him tightly.
Then I gently punched him on the arm and said, "Don't ever do that again! You almost gave me a heart attack!" He looked around and said, "Thanks, Astrid. But where are we?" I looked down.
"I don't know. I remember a purple vortex, and then I was in some woods. I heard Toothless and then there were some people in weird looking clothes. They were gathered around Toothless, and he was covering you like he did after the battle with the Red Death. The people thought we were attacking them. None of them speak our language, except for this man-beast named Chiron. He brought you here." I looked up.
Toothless nudged him gently and gurgled. Hiccup was thinking. "Well-" He was cut off by a commotion outside. I heard a dragon roar. "Is that-" "Meatlug." Hiccup confirmed. I tossed him his prosthetic, which he quickly put on.
Then I led him out. We hopped onto Stormfly and Toothless, and then we flew over the-place. Bunches of the strange people were streaming towards a lake. On the lake, Fishlegs and Meatlug were flying above their once again crashed boat, looking around confusedly.
"Fishlegs!" Hiccup yelled. Toothless and Stormfly screeched loudly. Fishlegs and Meatlug looked up. We landed on the far shore of the lake as they flew to join us. Hiccup and I looked at each other and I asked one question.
"What is going on here?"
So, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, Stormfly, and now Fishlegs and Meatlug are trapped in the 21st century! The rest of the gang should be coming in the next two chapters. See you next Saturday! Please Read and Review!
