"You were clearly spared the atrocity of living with people then. They take away choice and freedom leaving you to suffer silently, or die." He looked out over the vast expanse of land, a fall from this height would mean immediate death. Perhaps it was fate telling him that the time to end it all was at hand?

Well, I'll shoot her with my ray gun when she comes. Yes, I'll shoot her with my ray gun when she comes. Yes, I'll shoot her with my ray gun, oh, I'll shoot her with my ray gun. Yes, I'll shoot her with my ray gun when she comes. When she comes!

A light laugh escaped Ryu’s lips as he took in his surroundings. No matter how long he had flown upon Storm Surge’s back, the sight of the planet from thousands of feet above was far too beautiful to take in only once. “I suppose you could say that. I was raised by dragons, after all. Granted, some years were worse than others.” Figuring it would be best to change the subject, Ryu did so. “I heard you praying to gods I was not familiar with earlier. If it wouldn’t trouble you that much, would you mind telling me about them?” He knew a bit about religion from the civilizations he visited, but it took time to learn. That, and travel tended to be frequent with a dragon by his side.

No you're right I was referring to the Germanic adaptations of the Norse gods associated with Anglo-Saxon paganism)
He arched an eyebrow, "well I uh- we're never supposed to admit to holding on to the old beliefs but I suppose I can tell you a little bit." He delved into the stories of the gods and what each one represented. How his people used to worship them and how they all seemed to forget that loyalty in favor of a new god. Until he finally reached the tale of Ragnarök, seemingly at peace with the idea of the world coming to an end though fire and war. "When that day comes I can only hope that my time on this world is long since over, as I would only serve to disappoint the gods."

As the stories were told, Ryu listened in silence and felt something within him resonate. It was like memories he didn’t even know he had awakened, though it was probably nothing. The name Loki seemed familiar, though. Maybe his people were tied closer to this land than he had originally believed. ”
Well, there’s always the chance for you to turn onto the path you once followed. As for Ragnarök, it seems more like a rebirth event than anything.”A light sigh then escaped his lips as he trailed a free hand through a cloud that passed them. The white mist seemed to spin and flick at his touch and the wind current generated by Storm Surge. “
Either way, I thank you for what you have told me. Knowledge, no matter what it may be, should be treasured.”
Storm Surge gave a low growl as she gently swayed in the wind. It had been a rather long time since she had been this high up, so she would enjoy it. If the boy tried to hurt Ryu, he would not escape her.

He hummed passively staring at the world around him as it seemed to drift by lazily, "the girl you were with she's not from here. She looked different, her clothes and weapon were different for the people here too. I wonder where she's really from?" He looked down at the dragon and the way her scales shimmered in the light. "They aren't like the stories about them, the dragons I mean. Mostly anyway they're still fairly frightening."

(Now that I think about it, could mythological beings other than dragons turn up in this? I could only imagine Ryu and Kit’s reaction to talking with Jörmungandr or Odin, let alone the deities of other religions.)
Ryu thought for a moment before giving a light shrug. “
I guess I never really noticed. She seems to get along well enough with the locals, so I’m sure that you won’t have any trouble.” The teen then gently rubbed the area of scales behind Storm Surge’s crest. “
As for the dragons, and Storm Surge in particular, that is true. She can be fierce at times, but also rather nurturing. She’s the most loyal friend I could have.”

I had toyed with the idea of Kit being the daughter of Loki, long before I'd even seen the first httyd movie))
Full reply soon, I have to finish my work shift

(Dang. That would certainly make things interesting, especially if other elements of norse mythology, among others, are included. I leave that up to you, though.)

I think including different aspects of Norse mythology would be fun. It would certainly make life interesting, sorry it's so late I was done when I get home. I knocked out))
Adlehelm hummed an affirmative softly, listening but finding nothing to add to the conversation. The high altitude beginning to make him feel slightly ill, nothing bad enough to make him double over and puke but it left a niggling feeling at the back of his skull.

(Don't worry. You've been relatively consistent with replys.)
Ryu didn't need to turn around to see that his passenger might have been suffering from the first stages of altitude sickness. After all, he had gone through the same thing when he had first flown Storm Surge. The only difference was that his came about much quicker due to the fact that she had flown at a much higher altitude. Not wanting to have the man fall off, he gently tapped the left most spine on his dragon's crest.
When it was felt, the dragoness slowly lowered herself to a much more generous altitude for beginning flights, and she could see Berk approaching rather quickly over the horizon. A low growl was given, signaling their imminent arrival.
