Well, if only someone would review.
"Fenris!!! Where are you?!" Iris ran screeching down the hallway in search of Fenris, making probably the biggest racket the kingdom had ever known.
Iris found her way to the guys' room and banged on the door. "CHAOS!!! Are you in there? Have you seen Fenris, I can't find her anywhere!!!" She cried. The door opened slightly, but to Iris' shock, Chaos wasn't the one standing at the door.
"Iris, please stop making so much noise. You'll wake up the whole castle." Fenris said dully, still rubbing sleep out of her eyes. Iris just stood there gaping.
"Fenris, did you sleep there last night?" Iris asked. "Umm, yeah." Fenris replied, hardly even listening to the young girl's mutterings.
"Where did you sleep?" Iris demanded. "Huh? Oh-" Fenris yawned widely. "In Chaos' bed." She replied.
"WHAT!!!???" Iris started thinking to herself, concealing her shock from Fenris.
She was sleeping in Chaos' bed?! They can't have been sleeping together, can they? Fenris wouldn't do that. But still, after last night… I hardly know a thing about her so I don't know if she'd do that or not. But then… where would Chaos have slept? Sure he'd be nice enough to let Fenris rest there, but would Fenris have let him NOT sleep on his own bed? AAAAAHHH!!! This is so confusing!
Fenris yawned again as about a thousand thoughts attacked Iris' mind, not to mention, erm, 'inappropriate' images. "Iris, what are you muttering about there?" Fenris asked, slightly worried as Iris had gone through different shades of red, blue, green, and purple in the last minute.
"Oh, nothing… So hey, how did Loki react to it?" Iris asked, putting on a fake smile. "Oh, he was fine with it. He was the one who told me to." Fenris said, yawning once again and wondering why Iris had started muttering again.
Loki? Oh I can't believe… Wow… I had absolutely no idea that he'd pull something like that! Oh, what happened? Is it my fault for driving Fenris out of our room yesterday? Did it drive her to do the unthinkable? In any case, I have to redeem myself!
"Iris… You're sure you're okay?" Fenris watched as Iris ran past her saying, "Let's just go eat, 'kay?" "That girl…" Fenris shook her head and smiled.
It was midday when Chaos returned, but a foreboding feeling came to Fenris as he did. "We have to leave. NOW!" He exclaimed.
"Chaos, why won't you explain to us what's happening?!" Iris huffed as she struggled to catch up to Chaos who was running through the forest like crazy, and Fenris and Loki followed not far behind.
"There's no time, Iris! We need to get away or he'll catch up!" Chaos said in a hurry.
"Who?" This time it was Loki who spoke up. "Jörmungandr's soldier." Chaos huffed darkly.
Iris paled and Fenris looked disbelieving, and Loki's expression darkened.
Jörmungandr was a powerful being, though could not break away from the seals that Odin had locked him away in. So then, the Midgard Serpent, as was Jörmungandr's other name, sent his soldier to do his bidding.
"What you don't know, though…" Chaos continued, not slowing down a pace.
"His soldier is an assassin, like Loki. Even with the same symbol, just like that Juliana Lucille you fought before." Chaos said darkly, and at that point, Loki stopped running.
"Bone-head, don't just stand there! They might be coming!" Chaos shouted, stopping as well.
Iris' legs gave way and she huffed and puffed as Chaos tried to get Loki to run, but Loki ignored him.
"You can all run, and I will face them." Loki said, his face set.
"You can't !" Fenris said, her face more than worried. "I must." Replied the assassin.
"No, Loki. You're one of us, and if you're going to pull a stupid move like that, we're with you all the way." Chaos said, grinning.
Loki shook his head. "I don't get you at all." He said.
"It's called friendship, duh! You have it and so do we, so we have to stick together." Iris said, trotting over.
"That's right. We must stay together, Loki. That's the only way we can live. Together." Fenris said, closing the argument.
Loki stared at her smiling face. He somehow felt different than before, when he wasn't yet with them. Was it what Iris called friendship? No… It was Fenris, above all the others. Why?
Just then, a sound came from the trees, and they were instantly knocked down by a giant creature which looked somewhat like a snake and a human. Standing beside it was a man dressed in reptilian green and a woman beside him.
The woman was small in build, and wore blue scaly clothing, and her eyes were slit like, and Fenris could see that she had fangs and a forked tongue, as any snake would.
"Ah, it's finally my pleasure to meet you all." The female said, taking out a weapon.
To Loki's dread, the woman held a weapon with the symbol of the assassins of the cross. This was serious.
"The pleasure's all yours." Chaos said, readying his weapons. They all did, and got ready to fight.
The weapon the woman wielded was something resembling a giant snake's fang on a well endowed handle, and it looked as though it was made of steel instead of ivory or whatever the hell it was made of because of the way it shone.
The symbol of the assassins of the cross was carved into part of the 'fang' and was what decorated the handle, which was silver, black and dark blue.
"Well, see, this comes the part I hate. I mean," The woman said, grinning another sadistic smile. "That is, if I ever actually hated this part of my job. Hello and goodbye, you four." She finished, twirling the fang between her fingers then readying herself in an attack stance.
"Wait a minute!" Iris exclaimed before she could stop herself.
"Oh, wait, you're so right, dear. I haven't introduced myself. My name is Ahassa. This is my partner, sorcerer Serpente. He is a man of little words, but I assure you,his power is beyond even mine." She gave a satisfied hiss, and the large beast beside her reared its head.
"Good to know." Iris said breathlessly.
"Now then, I think it should be about time you four got what was coming." Ahassa said, although she actually sheathed her weapon.
"You're being cocky, aren't you?" Chaos said. "We're not as weak as you believe."
"I know that. But Serp wants first try. And his pet is getting hungry." Ahassa said, grinning maliciously.
"Now attack!" She proclaimed, her eyes brightening as Serpente muttered hiss-like words of magic.
Fenris raised her Laevatein, and raised it right as a flash of light hit them, deteriorating their surroundings.
Yeah, well, it's short like my expectancy of reviews, but hey. Too bad Ragnarok hath been forgotten. JUST PLEASE REVIEW.
