#also apologies if i got any rrverse lore wrong...i haven't refreshed it in a bit

[nox-in-a-box]

Okay so this post has a lot of rambling about Percy and dragons and I realised too late that I need to give a little bit of context first so we're all on the same page. So um. Percy Jackson x HTTYD Crossover where Percy is in the HTTYD universe or whatever because that's my favourite type of crossover, Percy randomly ending up places. Now he's ended up in the Archipelago.

Okay moving on.

So, Percy riding a dragon. Firstly, I was thinking about the obstacles he would face in doing so. Obviously he would be wary of dragons, since he's someone who spends most of his time fighting monsters. And even if he grew to like them, they are still flying creatures, and he'd be in the air while riding them. And the sky is Zeus's domain. And I think that this latter point is the more important one.

Assuming that Percy just ended up in some alternate universe or into a different time period (?) you could maybe argue that since he is nowhere near the domain of the Greek gods (but rather, Norse), it should be fine for him? Could that even work? I need to brush up on my Riordanverse knowledge...the little amount that I have left, at least (man, I really need to reread those books). But like, I could always twist canon to my liking anyways, so...

Okay but forget all that stuff, I wanna think about what dragon he would ride, if he were to do so. First thing that comes to mind is a night fury, and it makes the most sense to me, to be honest. He could free it from the dragon trappers similarly to how he freed Blackjack from Luke's ship, maybe.

Moving on...another thing I was thinking about is: Percy can understand sea creatures. Would he then be able to communicate with tidal class dragons? I mainly brought this up because scauldrons are one of my favourite dragons and I want him to interact with one. Oh, maybe he could ride a scauldron! He can breathe underwater so diving would not be an issue.
