Vim panicked as he was asked what he thought a good wife was. He decided humor was the best way to go. "I think a good wife submits to her husband, always does what he says, and bears him lots of children." He looked at all their horrified faces, especially Boethiah. "It was a joke." He said dryly. "You're supposed to laugh." I laughed! XD |

Metal awoke in a room unfamiliar to him, it was a long passage way with stone walls and a wooden floor a voice echoed in his head making him feel nauseated.
"Stop struggling, release your self to the darkness" the voice was deep, and twisted. At one end of the passage a black mists began making it's way towards Metal, he ran in the opposite direction, as he ran he could see another figure up ahead also running, Metal got closer to the figure and Vim's voice resounded in his head.
"bloody idiot you are! get out of here you monster" as he passed the figure he saw Vim snarled at him when he turned around the Black mist engulfed Vim and carried on after Metal, He ran in fear and confusion, up ahead where two more Allyssa and Dotta, first Allyssa voice resounded in his head.
"ugh! who would ever care about a wanderer like you?" then came Dotta's
"Did you really think of me as a friend ha! pathetic" a cold tint was in both of there voices as he ran past them they two were engulfed by the black mist, Metal ran on the pain in the left side of his chest amplified it had been there since the outcasts had kidnapped him but he had always pushed it aside and ignored it however now there was no ignoring it. Up ahead were two more, Skips and Boethiah, first it was Boethiah
"You?! my teacher?! ha! don't make me laugh you are nothing" she had her bow and snapped it before falling into the darkness then it was just Skips and Metal running through the passage before Skips then spoke.
"just hurry up and die already, do you think there is any purpose it your life?" then she too broke off into the Darkness, Metal was alone again, The pain in the left side of his chest throbbed painfully, tears began rolling down his cheeks as he ran then the Deep twisted voice from before echoed in his head.
"see? you are alone Metal, just give in, everyone would be a lot happier" and the voice began laughing and the Dark mist began catching Metal up,
It was right, what is the point of living anymore?, maybe just letting go is the better option.
his pace slowed briefly and the Darkness enveloped him.
Metal sat bolt up right in a startle, he was in a cold sweat and breathing heavily, he observed his surroundings, he was back in his cave, it was morning and he was laid against shadow who seemed extremely worried about metal, he patted her reassuringly, and curled up making himself as small as possible.
So it was a dream? but everything felt so life like.
The pain in Metals chest also still remained.

Did he really just...say that? Along with the horror, there was a bit of sadness. But at the revealing of the joke, she chuckled quietly, but was nudged by her mother not to laugh. So she just listened to Vim and was disappointed when that wasn't the only thing happening today.
She waved Vim goodbye and tried to put on a brave face. Everything was going to change and she knew it. "So," Boe started as they began walking away. "where are we going?"
"We're going to first introduce you to some new friends, sweetie," her mother said. Horrified, Boethiah stopped and stepped back a little. "What's wrong with the friends I have now?! They're nice and kind and we trust each other!"
"Yes, but they are still considered children."
"Those "children" helped defend the school a few weeks ago! Why do I need new friends?"
"You need to learn how to be a wife, now come along." She was ready to run off and open that container, but stopped herself. She sighed and walked along with her and Vim's mother.

They sat down at the table in Boethiah's house and talked 'Man Talk' as her dad had called it. Vim was still uncomfortable about being called a man. He didn't feel like one, though apparently they thought he did.
"-always supports the wife." Finished Vim's dad. Vim thought it was over when Boethiah's dad began talking about "Responsibility" and "Man of the house" and other stuff than made Vim want to vomit.
"-and that's how to be a good husband." Finished Boethiah's dad. Vim was about to get up and leave when he continued, "Now moving from responsibilities, let's talk about the privileges of being a husband."
Vim hoped he wasn't blushing. He just wanted to find Stoick and tell him about Metal. How much longer would this go on for?

Metal docked his raft on Berk's shore and like yesterday avoided patrols to make his way to the healer's hut once inside she, she gave him his payment but offered him some tea and fish which he accepted and relaxed, Shadow was at this point back at the school as even though the school was closed off to students it was still a bountiful fishing spot where she caught her own food

Boethiah walked with the women to a group of other women which were closer to her in age, but married. She sighed and went inside with the women and was introduced. From there they talked about how to be a good wife. Supporting the husband, making sure that everything was good in the household. Having children. She cringed at the thought of it. But hey all cracked jokes and laughed, but she just stayed silent. Then they talked about perks and she immediately shut out everything. She just wanted to go flying off to who knows where for a few days and then coming back and going to check on her friends. She didn't want this to happen and was scared for the future. If this is what she had to do with Vim...then what would happen with them? If anything, Boe knew she couldn't do this. Be a wife.

During the course of that uncomfortable conversation Vim's face went red, crimson, normal, red, then to a strange shade of violet. He was relieved when it was over. He swore if he heard one more thing about Freyja....
"So, any questions?"
"Yeah," Said Vim, though he dreaded the answer. "How many times are we doing this?"
"Every other day!" Said Vim's dad excitedly. "Next time we'll do stuff with you and Boethiah."
Oh, yay. Gods be praised.
"Okay. Well, I've got some.... stuff to ah.... yeah. See you in 2 days!" He called to Boe's father as he walked out the door. When he got outside he ran to Thorntail and hopped on. "To Stoick's house!"

Boethiah was flushed during the conversation and once it was over, her mother and Vim's left her with the other women in the room to try to bond or something stupid like that. She answered their first few question like "What does he look like?" and "How long have you known him?". But once they all talking amongst themselves, she was able to sneak out and get to Zirth who was very pleased to see her. "Yeah bud," she chuckled. "I'm glad to see you too. Come on, let's go flying." Boethiah hopped on him and took off towards the stone arch to fly. She was ready to beat her pervious time. No matter how long it would take.

Metal left the Healers through a hatch and her roof, with a new type of weapon she had made for him and was eager to try it out on somebody, and looked for victims to use it on. while staying out of sight on top of the buildings.

Vim knocked three times. Stoick opened the door and looked surprised to see him. "Well, if it isn't the soon-to-be husband." Vim groaned inwardly. He wanted everyone to shut up about that.
"I know who that guy is," Said Vim, "The one who was following me and punched out a guard."
Stoick suddenly looked very interested. "Who is it?"
"His name is Metal." Vim practically spit the name. "I trust you remember him? He's a Wanderer it turns out. Also, he's an assassin." Every word made Stoick more and more angry looking. "We'll double patrols." He decided.
"I can help!" Said Vim enthusiastically. Stoick shook his head. "Yer weddin' is the only celebration we'll get until Snoggletog. We're not gonna risk that being.... cancelled." He patted Vim's back. "We'll take care of this, son." He said and nudged him out the door.
Vim was tired of this. One minute he was told to be a man, the next reminded that he was still a boy. He went back on Thorntail and flew off to the race course.

Metal flicked the small Metal spikes between his knuckles, The ends were dozed in some herbs the Healer had made and they were designed to put anyone who got hit by them, to sleep, the effects were meant to last between an hour to 8 hours it was just luck as to how long they were out. metal sat on the roof staring at the clouds wondering what he should do next,

He saw Boethiah at the track, racing fast. Vim grinned. He saw a chance to make things like normal again and peeled after her, feeling his Nadder's strong muscles work beneath him. He quickly caught up to Boethiah.
"Hey!" He yelled over the wind, "Race you!"
