UN: Akhet

I... suppose I should introduce myself if I'm new, right? That'd be the polite thing to do.

My name is Kisara and I'm not that interesting, I promise. I also apologize if we meet in person and my English is a bit... rusty, it's not my first language and I'm still working on some words and phrases that are a little strange when translated. Not that... we don't have anything weird when translated from my native language, too.

With... that out of the way, is there any particular languages that are spoken here frequently other than obviously French and English? I didn't get to travel much before here so I'm always curious about how other countries are?

I'm rambling, sorry. Just wanted to do that introduction and apologize in advance?

You turned into a dragon. And before you ask, yes, Toothless and I both knew it was a thing that could happen.

[Even disregarding having known Kisara in a previous incarnation, Toothless could smell the fact that she was a dragon a mile away.]

I was planning on telling you once you got settled in and had more of a reason to believe me. I just didn't expect this.

[ahew_kha]

[So he knew. Which isn't really all that surprising in the long run, but going into all of this blind didn't really help her too terribly much.

Nor is it making her look any less irritated by all of it.]

Turned into a dragon. How would you know that? Do I smell like one or something? [Kisara, Kisara no.]

[wherenoonegoes]

Yes, actually. Although that's not the only reason. This isn't the first time I've seen something like this.

The last time was almost a millennium ago, and the girl it happened to looked, sounded, and according to Toothless smelled exactly like you.

[Toothless gives an affirmative growl. Exactly like her. It was weird.]

[ahew_kha]

[That's not remotely what she expected to here. As far as she knows, this is the only time she's been around and there's no way in hell that she could have been around that long, right?

She's chewing on her lower lip while her mind goes into five million different places and possibilities...]

I don't... know how that's possible. Also, um, if I'm just a shifter then I'd just smell like a normal human, wouldn't I?

[wherenoonegoes]

Reincarnation, probably. There's other answers, but that's actually the simplest.

And normally you would. If you turned into drake, which you don't. You turn into an actual, godsdamned dragon. Everything gets a little weird when dragons get involved.

[There'd been a theory tossed around the Berk that the reason she smelled like a dragon instead of a human was because she was a dragon that had turned into a human rather than the other way around, but considering the sources of that particular idea Hiccup had mostly ignored it.]
