-Maiming is possible because vikings man.
-Death is TECHNICALLY possible, but it will be incredibly hard. Not in a knives don't work sort of thing, but if you try to die, you'll see.
-If Rye is aware of your CANON POWERS, you have them. You still have unit abilities.
-Hell corruptions are 'invisible.' If your character focuses, they can feel them, but they are difficult to Perceive.

[Welcome to the Isle of Berk. You find yourself in an arena, dug into the ground with a chain dome above, currently suspended in the air on a pulley system to allow easy flight in and out. The air is cold and carries the sea breeze, though luckily you find yourself dressed well enough in furs and leathers.]
[Before you stands a woman, a hard, serious, slightly judgemental look on her face. There is an air of authority to her, someone who should be listened to. Which might be undercut a bit by the baby Night Fury that follows after her as she paces in front of you. Notably, she never almost steps on the thing. It is always perfectly safe. Watching nearby is also a Deadly Nadder.]

Welcome to your opportunity of becoming a dragon rider. It is a great honor to join our ranks, but its also extremely dangerous. If you are not prepared to commit to your partnership, it could cost you life or limb.
Today will be a small taste of that. You could give up and leave, but otherwise, the ways you leave are sundown, with a lifelong friend and partner, or you need medical attention. Luckily for all of you, Hiccup has convinced these dragons humans aren’t an enemy so they shouldn’t go for your head right away.
If you fail, you can try again, but you will be learning from me instead of Hiccup. And trust me when I say, my standards are a lot higher. [There is certainly a hint of Danger in her words.]
[She stops her pacing, and turns to face all of you.] So. Who goes first?

[EXCEPT NONE OF THAT APPLIES TO MIYA BECAUSE DRAGON.]
[Instead Miya finds herself in the forest shortly after dawn. The world is mostly quiet, save for the scuttling of nocturnal dragons getting ready to sleep, and whatever other animals live in the forest. There is a strong scent of dragon in these woods, of scales and fire.]
[And Astrid is in front of her, heading down a path that she seems able to follow. There is a faint scent of Hiccup here, like its a well worn one for him.]
[There is Deadly Nadder not too far off, choosing to remain close, but needing to take a little more careful path because this dragon can't shapeshift for ease. There is also the baby night fury, still following her, hopping from rocks and tree branches.]
Just a little farther now.

[ Tea is at her Full Size right now, so she's stepping light and careful. ]
... Right. Okay.
What's just a little farther?
... Right. Okay.
What's just a little farther?
The grotto.
It has Toothless' scent all over the place, so Hiccup figured it'd be soothing for our guests. As much can be for our experiment.

[ head?? tilt?? ]
I'm guessing, by guests, you don't mean me and whoever else found themselves here.

Of course not. We're used to you guys. Did Hiccup skip the part where he actually explained or did his geek out hard again? [There is a familiar and begrudging fondness.]
The Night Furies. He can get them to trust him, but if he can't get them to trust other humans, it'll put Toothless in a hard position none of us want.

[ There's a distinct Pause in her footsteps. ]
You're ... used to us? Used to talking dragons?
You're ... used to us? Used to talking dragons?
I meant everyone from 'Hell that isn't actually related to Hel.' I haven't had time to try visiting your world. Neither did Hiccup with all his plans, but I'm pretty sure nothing would have kept him away when you came with that news.
[Pause.] A dragon found their home...planet? Planet.
It can be a little hard to keep up with all the new people he's met, but I would have sworn that was about you.

[Baby is licked! He makes a crooning sound and licks back before hopping over to Astrid again, pawing at her boot.]
[Astrid will pick up the baby.] If you're sure. Just remember, they're still skittish around humans. We're trying to help them see life can be better as long as they find humans they can trust.
