It's been three weeks that I haven't updated... Well sorry for that! Here's a chapter!

Third person P.O.V

Hiccup slowly walked on a wood panel which was being used as a tiny bridge from the ship and the dock. Crew that he knew nothing about started to bring down some empty rums off the ship, and with their reckless behavior, Hiccup almost got knocked off into the water.

His foot landed on the beautiful tarmac, which after that, he bent down and kissed it. He may had seen a ghost flying around outside of the ship. When he looked back, he saw the proof.

A view was supposed to be seen at the moment, but there was nothing except a very thick fog. No single man knows what's in the fog, or maybe they don't even want to know. Hiccup wouldn't dare to ask for one of Blackbeard's crew about what happened previously, and Jack or Angelica was his only hope. But for now, he didn't have an intention on asking. His interest was more likely put on the land that he finally landed on, after being asleep on the sea.

Hiccup wasn't standing on a high point, so he couldn't really see how the whole civilization looks like. But he'd say that the British pierced their flag on the soil he's standing on. The fog did reach the whole island, even though they're more thicker on the sea, but it's enough to not let Hiccup see the view around 40 meters ahead.

He left both Elsa and Anna in the ship, locked up. Yes, he did lock the two inside. But with their permission, of course. He wouldn't like to the fact if someone broke into the room while he's gone. The key of the room is inside his pocket, so only a pickpocket would be able to snatch the key.

He went into a random direction, walking past some people with rather acceptable dressings. But the way the people shot their eyes to Hiccup... Hiccup would say that they have some dead vision, like they're dead inside, but he wouldn't ask such a question especially when he's a newcomer.

Thankfully,English is the language around. He saw a sign named "Dead Parrot's Bar", which reminded him of Toothless. Like any other sailor, he entered the bra.

There were few people, but not much. Like any other bars, the lighting of the room is not that good. As he walked in, a servant walked past him while bringing some glasses on a tray. Hiccup snatched a glass, and sipped a bit.

He raised a brow at the taste. It's a new taste for his tongue.

A hand landed on his shoulder as a sign of a greet. He turned around, and it was Jack. "Hey mate." He walked past Hiccup, followed with Angelica. "Glad you're awake now."

Hiccup followed the couple, and they sat on a table.

"Listen, Jack. Have you experienced some... oddities before we docked here?" Hiccup asked, and turned to Angelica. "The same question goes to you, Angelica."

They could only give a 'what are you talking about?' face. "What do you mean?"

"Jack.." I slammed on the table a bit. "I saw mermaids out there! Staring at us with dead looks, and a ghost!"

The looks they gave to me were literally the answer. "Hiccup, you've been sea-sick." Angelica said.

"No, I have not--"

"Yes, you have. You just drank a 10 months old vodka, and I concluded that you're being affected by its mighty alcohol." After Jack said so, a waitress put 2 glasses of drinks on the table. He thanked her in a simple way.

"Why don't you walk around the town? Isn't that what you do? Exploring?" Jack suggested.

Hiccup sighed. "Fine." He stood up, leaving the bar.
