Something is not right with home

[This is Hiccup. Slowly pacing forward, with an absent expression on his face. He looks very tried too. Toothless, his dragon, follows him from a distance, looking utterly confused at him.]

[This is Hiccup, still. Noticed the changes in his reality. The temples... the strange, glowing, whatever things that people call portals... and that huge, maybe god-made metal boat-like-thing on the ocean... and the olive trees. The. Olive trees. He only had heard about them in books. It's just too much...]

Too muuuuch... S-sometimes I-I wonder if this isn't the gods playing a trick on me, if this isn't the end of the world, this must be it, if it's my luck, it definitely is the end of the world... [He mutters to himself in disbelief still just walking forward without any goal, followed by Toothless.]

A lot of things, actually. The weather is... nicer, there are some... things around that are called portals, and... while were practicing flying with Toothless I saw the strangest ship, ever! It was made out of metal!

[Toothless happily takes the food, munching on it, almost smiling.]

[stillshinigami]

A metal ship? Huh. [Duo winces at the thought of that. So, better weather and portals? For a guy who lives in the dark ages, that really does seem like the acts of god.]

So you know that the more you get to know someone the more your reality and theirs merges, right?

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

A huge one. It's almost like an island, but all made of metal. [Hiccup nods.]

Uuuuh, I-I remember something y-yes... [Frowns.] So that's what happening now?

[stillshinigami]

[Duo frowns. Sounds like something out of modern day. Something that big? Worth checking out.]

Might be. You want me to check it out, Hiccup?

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

EH? [Heavy frown.] What do you mean, you can come to Berk?

[stillshinigami]

Why not? Two smart guys like us should be able to figure it out in a few minutes.

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah but... do you know where Berk is?

[stillshinigami]

In Europe? You're a viking, aren't you?

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

I-I am a viking, yes... [Nods.] How will you go there?

[stillshinigami]

The only way is for you to take me with you.

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

To take y-- Oh! Oh, you mean, I can-- You can come with me? [That would solve a lot of things.]

[stillshinigami]

Yep. [He offers his hand.] Just like going home normally, only you've got an extra person to come with you.

[dragonnerd.livejournal.com]

Oh, uh, alright then. [Hiccup nods, and looks at Toothless.] Come on, buddy. [And he walks back to Berk with Duo.]
