Whyever would we not go check it out? If you like vikings you get to meet vikings. If you don't like them you get to loot the same.

XD You know, at least your coordination rolls are consistent. XD
In other words, my art friend is dragging her feet on getting the picture done. Does anyone know good people to commission drawings from? I want to get Tal and Ivorixia drawn in their half forms.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we started out, we were expecting the worst; village on fire, people getting slaughtered in the streets, vikings being murderous and lecherous and not good.
That is not what we saw when we got there.
Turns out the burning was from their fields. They had fire breaks and plenty of water, I recognized it as a farming technique... what was it called? Slash and burn? Hmm, not quite right, but I was glad to see that they weren't being attacked. In fact, they were having some sort of harvest festival down below.
I was pretty excited, I wanted to go down and check things out; this was the first human(?) village I'd seen in thirty years and I really wanted to check out the festival. Maybe they even had... Cakes!! I could feel myself drooling.
I felt a mix of regret and relief that I hadn't brought Mimikyu along. I didn't trust their self-control enough yet to let them be around a lot of their prey items, but at the same time, I really wished I had a magical transforming being that could give me some cover. But... Mrrgh, literally wearing a Yandere near-stalker... not pleasant.
In any case, our first pass-over went pretty well. There was a little screaming from some of the villagers, but for the most part they seemed pretty excited to see us actually. The Vikings, we saw, were apparently there to enjoy the festivities, and they were also pumped to see us... at least that's what I thought, according to their roars and hoisting sloshing beer mugs towards us.
We were waved over to an already cleared field near the village, and I was the first to land.
Or, well... try to land?
I thought I grew out of my clumsy phase a decade ago. I really did.
However, this did not seem to be the case, as somehow when I went in for my landing, I stumbled (HOW DO YOU STUMBLE AND TRIP WHEN YOU HAVE FOUR LEGS?!?! I MEAN HONESTLY!) and landed snout-first in the muddy field, smearing the front of my neck as well. Kaya was able to leap off my back with her damn elf elegance, with only a minor stumble before regaining her balance, like a cat. And Tal, well, he made the ground shudder a little with his touchdown, but at least he didn't trip.
I picked myself up out of the mud, once again feeling the urge to go and hide, crawling into a hole. Instead, Lucian was nice enough to lead me over to the river, (Leading out of town, so I wouldn't cloud their water) so I could rinse myself off.
The Village Headman and a large, brown-haired man with studded leather and fur armor came over to greet us as I came out of the water and used a spell to dry myself off. Urgh. Maybe I had an inner ear imbalance or something? I'd have to cast a diagnostic spell on myself later, I might have regeneration abilities, but my breath didn't work on me like it did other people. Setbacks, yay....
"Oh Great and Noble Dragons!" The headman began, and I smiled to myself. He looked like Dumbledore a little bit. "We are honored by your visit."
"We thought you were under attack." Tal said bluntly before I could speak up. "Why do your fields burn?"
"Ah, mighty Lord, it is a farming practice." He said. "We burn the remnants of the wheat fields to renew the soil for the next harvest."
The Viking guy grinned, and I definitely got this 'battle-loving-crazy-old-man' vibe from him. "I have some family settled here, so I brought my band along for the festival. These guys have the best Huckleberry ale I've ever come across, there's no way I'd pass it up." He looked from one of us to the other. "You're a young pair. Haven't heard of any High Dragons of your colors around here. Would you be related to Lady ARiHa and Lord RoHaI?"
"Yeees?" I said, a little surprised that this viking guy knew so much about Mom and Dad. I got the feeling they were actually quite familiar with each other.
He barked out a laugh and he clapped the headman on the shoulder, jolting the man forward a little. "Better roll out the stops, old man. You're in the presence of Royalty!" What? "ARiHa is Descended directly from the Elder Drake herself-" Well, yes, but... I thought when she said that she meant High Dragons in general! "-And RoHaI is the son of ToRaE, the Firestorm of Izakkal! They're the rulers of every sentient dragon on the continent."
... Okay.
HOW DID I MISS THIS IN OUR HISTORY LESSONS?!?!?
I was able to hide my shock, however, as I continued to listen to him.
"Our clan in particular owes the Enchantress of the Amethyst Mountains much. She broke a terrible curse on our clan founder's sister; a soul meld that was forced upon her by a suitor." He gave us a rather elaborate bow, for a viking. "May we know your names, and that of your companions?"
Tal introduced himself first this time, as I was still a bit floored. "I am NeRoI, son of ARiHa and RoHaI. This is my sister, AHaHa, her familiar, Lucian, and her..." He paused, and I knew he was fishing for the right words.
Kaya made a rude noise and stepped forward. "I'm Kaya, friend and treasurer of AHaHa here." She said, clenching her fist and placing it over her heart as she gave a stiff bow, keeping her face lifted. I noticed she didn't give her full name, but I had the feeling that... well, the tev Aranala clan might be rather well-known as thieves. I could understand her not wanting to draw negative attention to herself or us.
The man nodded. "I am Derford Gunnorfson." He said, nodding at us. "Come into the town as honored guests!"
"Oh, yes indeed!" The headman, Thielson, said, looking at me. "This is an excellent omen! It was a dragon that blessed our fields so long ago to begin with, we have excellent harvests and never want for food or drink. We would be delighted to have you stay. Do you enjoy chocolate?"
My heart leapt. CHOCOLATE. "YES! Ahem, yes, I-we would like that very much, thank you." I said eagerly. Tal rolled his eyes and sighed, looking quite put-upon, but he didn't refute me.
Derford's eyes sparkled with a wicked sort of glee. "Perhaps we could have a martial tournament in your honor." He suggested, grinning as he saw Tal's ears twitch and turn his head towards him in interest. "If you have a more human form, perhaps you could participate, my Lord?"
He rolled his shoulders and stretched his wings at that, and I could tell he was interested. "I believe that would be... entertaining." He allowed, and I could see his form start to ripple. "Ah, wait a minute! Lucian, pants!" I squeaked as Kaya turned sharply on her heel, now facing away from the bright shifting form of my brother.
From my bag of holding, a selection of pants and some armor was chosen for my brother, which he wore reluctantly. The other vikings were all quite impressed, and he was swept away by a tide of boisterous vikings as they headed to a sort of sparring ring set up in the middle of town.
I also took on my half-form, and adjusted my dress. Lucian was walking on my right side, and Kaya was on my left. I was actually sort of looking forward to this, all the smells of FOOD were so good, and I wanted to eat ALL THE THINGS.
As I was wondering where to start, I realized someone had approached me, and I looked up to see a.... well, a very serious, slightly scary-looking blond woman with black facepaint.
She was nothing like Kaya. Human, for one thing, but also... she had this rough sort of aura about her, dangerous, like she was hewn from something rather than sculpted. Very strong, very tough, rough, but also very beautiful. And, um... to put it bluntly, generously endowed, I could tell that much.
She met my eyes and lifted her shield, hitting it once with the pommel of her sheathed sword. "Greetings, AHaHa, daughter of ARiHa." She said. "I am Theyra Valsdotter, descendant of Valkyrie Varmja of the Bloody Skies." She gave me a sharp bow. "I owe your line a great debt."
"Uh. Thank you." I said. "I mean, it's nice to meet you... wow, you are tall." She was taller than me in this form! And... heh, damn, she was hot. In a different way from Kaya, but yeah. She was very pleasing to my aesthetic sense, she reminded me strongly of Nyo!Germany or Nyo!Germania. I remembered being a Hetalian in my last life, more for the comedic and character interaction than the angst. No modern politics in my cosplays and rps pleeeeeeaaaaaase!
She nodded, shifting her weight a little as she looked us over. "I was told by your brother that you are collecting people? Mostly of some martial talent?"
Dammit, Tal.

Also, I realize I'm posting a lot, but if I may suggest a possible artist for the work you got done, I got a very nice piece of art from Dark Bear Lab, for a decent price (the cost was a bit inflated b/c I requested Macha stuff, which is harder to do, but I was satisfied with the end result).
Here's the link: Dark Bear Lab.

Yes, Varmja has been made an official character in this world, though a couple adjustments to the story have been made to fit the world in canon. In my brain, at least. XD

@Ryuchanwings, do genderswap options exist in this world? If so, how thorough is it? Curious.
