Chapter five

Matt

" Party crasher "

Matt stood with Baldwin at the front of the school as they waited for Fen and Laurie to join them. They all would meet up at the long ship and hopefully if all went as planned everyone who was at Ragnarök would meet and celebrate in the festival being held tonight.

Fen and Laurie walked over to them and the group headed home.

"So who else is excited for the fair tonight! ?" Baldwin asked in his normal happy voice.

Fen grinned. "A chance to get to see the others and to compete in events ageist Brekke's and Thorsten's..." his eyes lit up. "You bet I'm excited about the fair. But that's not the only reason I'm excited."

Baldwin and Matt gave Fen a look that said:

"What would that be?"

Fen's smile never dropped. "Laurie is a wulfenkind."

Both Baldwin and Matt looked at Laurie in shock.

She giggled. "I bet you weren't expecting that where you? "

Both boys nodded and continued walking.

"You're so lucky you can turn into a wolf like Fen now. What color is your fur? How big are you as a wolf?" Baldwin asked bombarding Laurie with questions. Fen growled at him. To which Laurie laughed in response giving him a little growl in return.

"I'm definitely smaller than Fen but not by much and I have light brown fur." Laurie said.

"But you're blonde." Baldwin added. Laurie nodded. "Yes that's true, it's like Fen for instance his fur is a black brown when really he should be all black. Besides have you ever seen a yellow furred wolf before because I surely haven't. "

Matt watched Baldwin think. "You have a point."

"Anyway this is our stop see you guys tonight. " Fen interjected.

Matt and Baldwin waved their goodbyes before walking down a little further before Matt and Baldwin said their own goodbyes and parted ways.

By the time five o'clock rolled around Matt had made his way with his family in tow to meet at the long ship. Once they arrived Baldwin and his family where just arriving. Three minutes later Fen and Laurie arrived with their family. The raiders joining them.

After that the twins arrived in their limo Ray exiting first followed by his sister Reyna and following her calico Trjegul and another cat following her.

Matt felt his cheeks heat once he met Reyna ' s eyes.

" Bygul I pre zoom." Matt said as Reyna approached him.

Reyna smiled. " You would be correct."

She hugged him before punching his shoulder. Not hard enough to hurt Matt but enough that it made him wince.

"Good to see you two." Matt said rubbing his shoulder. Which made her smile.

Next to arrive was Astrid. She landed on the ground beside the long ship before turning from her hybrid form to human form and smiled a greeting at the others. The last of the descendants to arrive was Owen and his berserkers. Once they arrived Matt called on Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr, his magical goats to join them he also called for the Valkyries to join them as well. Fen and Laurie called for Helen to join in with the festivities.

As called they all came.

Helen ' s dress was made out of black widow spiders and webs. Defiantly a change of pace for the goddess of death herself.

Hildar and her Valkyries where dressed in fine polished armor. Hildar smiled. "Son of Thor tonight we celebrate the winning sides victory at Ragnarök."

The other Valkyries dismounted from their steeds.

Matt smiled. Maybe he hadden't seen his Grandfather. Maybe it was just a trick. Tonight he wanted to have fun at the fair and spend time with his friends.

"Hey Matt let's go!" Reyna said dragging Matt away with her. "Come on Trjegul and Bygul lets show Matt just what where made of on the bumper cars."

"Woh, Reyna I can walk their myself." Matt said as his goats followed them.

"To bad I'm not letting you go." She replied. Matt planted his feet and pulled her backwards off her feet and he just held her. She looked up at him in surprise before she broke out laughing. Reyna has the weirdest way of showing affection but that's what Matt liked about her more than Astrid. Reyna could look after herself and she'd pushed and taught him to stop being so nice that he had to be assertive and not so much of a push over. Matt just smiled at her. "Like I said I can walk on my own Reyna and you will respect that."

Another giggle and she nodded.

Trjegul mowed and rubbed herself ageist Reyna's leg to which she petted her head. "Yes Trjegul I know you want to have attention. "Now then let's get going shall we?"

Fen

Fen watched as Reyna dragged Matt away. They had arranged that they would meet back at the ship for a meeting after two hours of being at the fair. Fen nodded and the raiders took off ready to have fun. Other raiders stayed by Fen's side because the Thorsen's and Brekke's had arranged in competition in which the descendents of Thor and Loki could VS one another for bragging rights. The Older raiders thought it was the best thing in the world. The events where similar to Viking time compatisons. Arm wrestling, axe throw, balancing and what Fen could call Sheep racing, only difference was it was a basket of rocks.

Baldwin and Ray left and Owen with Astrid leaving only Fen and Laurie to stay. As the Alpha of his pack Fen could allow his members to partake in the events as well as partake himself. Laurie smiled.

"I'll be cheering for you Fen. Good luck." She said as she head butted his head.

"Thanks Sis." Fen said. He watched her walk off to sit with thoughts who wouldn't be participating.

Fen turned to the rest of his pack. "Be ready to give it all you've got. If I see anyone cheating, that includes becoming a wolf mind you you'll be disqualified from the competition. Remember you are representing your pack, your leader, do not make me look like a poor Alpha do you all understand!?"

They all nodded. "Good lets go shall we?"

Laurie

Laurie had to admit Fen and the others where strong. So far the score was 3-3. Each round a group of people where eliminated know only three kids remained on both sides. On the Berkke side was Fen, Skull and Hattie, on the other was Jake, Josh and an girl who Laurie didn't know but had seen before at school. There was only one competition left. Axe throwing.

Laurie didn't know how well Fen could throw, after all he wasn't good at sports, well except running but he's a wolf that made more sense.

Each kid got an old fashioned axe. Fen stumbled a little once he felt the weight, but he managed to lift it.

"If both teams are ready." Called Hildar, who had been judging the event.

"Throw." She cried.

Axes flew from their bearers hands. Hattie's landed low on the target, Skull's fared better landing in the inner ring and Fen's landing true on the bull's-eye.

On the other team. The girl was the same as Hattie Josh not doing any better but Jake landing a bull's-eye.

"That concludes the comparison. The victory goes to the Berkke 's. Congratulations Son of Loki." Hildar said.

Cheers roared over the Brekke's. Laurie saw just how pound Fen felt, in fact she was overwhelmed with how happy he felt. She raced down and hugged him tightly. "I knew you could do it Fen."

He smiled. "Thanks Laurie, we should get going or we'll be late for the meeting."

Laurie watched Fen give orders to Hattie and Skull to watch over the pack while he was at the meeting and then both Laurie and Fen left to join the other decedents.

Matt

Reyna sat to the Right of Matt and Ray to her right the Baldwin. Fen and Laurie sat to Matt's left. Owen beside Laurie, Astrid beside Owen. The cats and goats lay off to the side.

Time to come clean about what you saw Matty.

"Hey guys something happened today that is a very big threat to are world if it really is possible." Matt said slowly.

All eyes fell on him and suddenly Matt felt scared.

"I saw my Grandfather." Matt said looking up meeting his friends gazes.

Owen Gave a grim look. "I had hoped that I had been wrong in seeing his return but know that he has indeed shown himself to you I fear that the rest of the vision will indeed come to pass. If he lives the world will be thrown into chaos."

"No you've kidding me!" Fen snapped growling fiercely. "How could he even do that?"

Reyna answered. "It's not imposable to undo what has be done. Think of it like necromancy, a dark witchcraft. Helen could be believed to be such as she can command the dead. However he would need ingredients to perform a dark spell like that and believe me, I don't think your grandfather has magic like Ray and I? He would need a witch to perform the spell for him."

"So what are you saying?" Baldwin asked. Reyna looked around at each of them coming to a rest on Matt's face.

"I'm saying is that if he gains all the ingredients everything changes. I couldn't tell you exactly what could happen all I know is that if you bring back the dead, like a spirit which I assume you saw...he could be filled with an absurd amount of power almost like a god if he really wanted to." Reyna explained.

Everyone was quite. Then Matt spoke up.

"How do you know so much about that Reyna?" Matt asked her which caused her cheeks to fill red.

"We'll I wanted to learn a few things, I haven't preformed any spells but I know them." Reyna admitted sheepishly.

"So that's what you've been doing!?" Rey said.

Reyna nodded.

"What a sweet little party you have going on here, shame that I wasn't invited."

All the kids gasped and looked to see Mayor Thorsen standing on the deck of the ship where they were.

"Indeed, a shame however your appearance here has just expired." Helen said as she approached the ship.

"You can't send me back Helen." He said facing her.

She shook her head in disappointment. "And harassing my niece and nephew and their friends is a poor decision to make." Purple flames licked around Helen's hand. "Return to my domain now before I rip your soul from this world."

A dark smile formed on his grandfathers lips.

"You are nothing." He said.

Then there was a flash of white light that blinded Matt. His ears rung so badly he covered his ears.

Once Matt could see again his eyes widened in fear.

"No."

Matt stood there staring at the motionless goddess in his Grandfather's hands. A blade stuck in her gut as blood dripped down the blade, dying the webs on her dress red. Her gaze still strong as she struggled to keep awake.

"You will pay for this, I may not be able to rule anymore but I will never fully die," She looked over to Laurie and Fen. Her hand rose as she mumbled words Matt couldn't understand.

Fen and Laurie glew in an aura for a moment before it disappeared then she was silent.

The Goddess of Death...Is dead...

Matt watch as he pulled the knife out of Helen's body like it where butter. A smile split his face as he held the blade up in the setting suns raise. He dropped Helen's body which crashed to the deck with a loud Thud!

"See you soon Matt." Was all he said before he disappeared.

Helen is dead, the last goddess is dead.

Then all Hell broke loose.
