Chapter seventeen

Matt

A call from the gods!

Matt and the others had dropped Helen and Laurie off before returning to Matt 's house. Both of Matt ' s brothers joined the group of friends.

Matt was worried not just about Fen, he was like another brother to him and Laurie a sister. He was even more worried about what they were about to try and pull off! Matt pulled Reyna aside.

His expression serious. "Reyna, you don't have to do this. You can still back out of this."

Reyna smiled and shook her head with a laugh. She punched him in the arm. "Your doing it again Matthew, your second guessing yourself as well as your team. I'm the strongest witch here Matt. If I don't do this, we'll never prepare for the end. You know as well as I do what your grandfather will do to get what he wants. We may not be able to prevent the end but we will gather our troops. Heck all of the descendants of Loki, most of them are likely all in packs." Reyna put her hand onto Matt ' s shoulder. "You need to be strong now Matt, strong not just for yourself but for the sake of the other descendants out there."

Matt smiled at her. "You always now how to help me Reyna. " Matt said as he kissed her on the lips. They both stayed there for a while before they drew away from one another. "Ready Matt? " Reyna asked.

Matt nodded his head. "I'm ready. "

Helen had joined them while they had been talking. "Is Laurie? " Matt asked before Helen raised her hand. " she is fine son of Thor. She has joined the group of Wulfenkind. "

Matt nodded. That was good that she was fine but know it was up to him to do what was required to do. Matt looked to Reyna and nodded. Reyna returned it with a nod of her own.

Owen gave her his hand. "Fra Gud til Gud kastet disse ordene jeg snakker , jeg dele denne kunnskapen med deg for å forberede seg til denne kampen på slutten av verden Ragnarök er over oss igjen , ta opp armene som vi gudene og gudinnen for Asgard Fight for vår heder og ære !" Reyna spoke in Norwegian tongue.

(translation- From God to God threw those words I speak, I share this knowledge with you to prepare for this fight at the end of the world Ranarök is upon us again take up arms as we gods and goddess of Asgaurd Fight for our glory!)

Before Matt appeared a camera. Matt cleared his throat. "Attention all...if you're seeing this- you are a descendent of the Norse gods. My name is Matt Thorsen and you're all going to be fighting, because Ranarök is coming. Know this might sound crazy but why else would you be seeing this? Why do I know that you've never quite fit in? Some of you may weld straight of mind, seeing things that have come to pass have been able to befriend two ravens', you represent the all father Odin! Some of you may be able to change your form to a wolf. You are anyways able to lie, deceived and cheat. You are descendants of Loki, if you have magic you are descendants of the god and goddess Frey and Freya, if you have never gotten hurt you are a descendent of Baldor, if you are pure of heart and wield the powers of strength and ware a hammer around your neck you are a descendent of Thor! They're are so many others out there that I didn't name but you must use what ever powers you possess to join in the fray! We will be the only survivors when the dead rise. You won't be able to save everyone so you must be prepared. We look to you to join us here in Blackwell South Dakota, you all will now when the time arrives. Just like you remember what happened a year ago. This time we don't have a serpent to slay, we can only pray that we will be able to be victorious. Good luck descendants will be looking forward to meeting with you as you join us in the fray of battle." Matt said as the camera disappeared. All of them looked at him from looking at their screens.

Matt had a grim expression. "Let's just hope that they understand the cost and don't think that they've gone crazy. "

Everyone agreed. Reyna held her head in on of her hands. Matt went to go to her but she shook her head. "I'm okay Matt, I just need some aspirin. "

Matt looked to Baldwin. The boy nodded without question and returned a moment later with aspirin and water in hand. All sat down in various places all around the room. " So the big question is, what are the gods saying about this? " Baldwin asked braking the silence.

All eyes fell on Helen. She looked down at her black dress that was made of silk, it wasn't her normal style but it didn't matter much.

"Odin called the council to speak on this matter, we of the gods and goddess can't do anything to aid you in this battle, other than our guidance and powers, father Loki and God of Thunder, Thor are saddened by brother Fenrir 's action to divide you, this is what we the council fear the most, you will become divided in some way or another and this will lead to the fall. The god Odin came and spoke to me, but I scolded him as I feared what I had to hear...I wish to live again to help you through this." Helen exclaimed nervously.

Owen locked his gaze with the former Goddess of death. "He killed you for your blood, it was what he needed to return was it not Reyna?"

Reyna groggily looked at the blue haired boy. "Yes it was, what's your point Mr- I- see-the -future? "

Matt raised his brow and couldn't help but chuckle. "Mr I see the future? Hahaha! Where did that come from? " Reyna gave him a giggle. "What. ..I'm not allowed to joke around? Sir Thunderstorm? "

Matt laughed. "How high are you?" Reyna giggled again. "Little bit? Hehe that spell makes me tingle. So gitty I feel like I'm floating on a cloud and sounded by singing. It's wonderful, you should join me!"

"I think I'll pass… okay she's out of it." Matt said. "At least she didn't go bat shit insane!" Baldwin added then realized that it was a stupid thing to say. Helen comforted him.

"Nova we're going to have to get ready for what comes next, I advise you to go to meet Laurie at the wulfenkind camp." Matt said. Nova nodded her head. "Okay good luck." "I'll go with her." Helen said. Matt nodded.

Nova and Helen soon left. Leaving the other descendants alone. "We need to make weapons and armor, all like what our gods and goddess would ware in battle." Matt said. The others nodded. There was a metal shop that they could use, all of them knew how to work in one.

With the help of Astrid and Rey they brought Reyna along with them. "I know my way around scissors and clothes I can help with fitting our armor. " Astrid said.

"Good!" Matt said tossing her a tape measure. "Get to work! "

A few hours later Matt, Owen, Baldwin and Rey where hard at work pounding away at the metal. While actually Rey was using magic to cheat.

" you'd get done faster if you where pounding the metal by hand. " Matt said wiping away some sweat with the back of his hand. Rey gave him a deadpan look. "Unlike you I don't have the 'muscles' that you have." Rey said the last part in an imitation of Arnold Schwarzenegger. "Nether do I Rey but I'm still pounding away." Baldwin said breathlessly. All three had taken their shirts off because of the heat. Normally it wouldn't get this hot in class but because they had to use it like a blacksmith shop it was over 100° in the confined space.

Reyna had started to get back to normal after her cool down faze. She started to become more aware as time went on and finally she had returned to normal.

"Oh man what happened? " Reyna groaned. "You got high." Astrid said with a smile. " high? What do you mean I got high?! High on what!? I don't remember taking any drugs other then aspirin, and I couldn't have gotten high from that?" Reyna asked suddenly freaked out.

"High on magic honey. " Astrid said patting her back.

"Magic? How could my magic have made me high?" Reyna asked in a confused matter.

"The spell required a lot of power from you, in turn you went through magic withdrawal which in turn made you act and feel high." Owen explained. "Oh. I get it, ugh. I guess that's creepy. " Reyna said. She stopped. "Wait what are you guys doing! ? Why is it so hot in here?"

"We're making armor, similar to what our gods and goddess would ware in battle. Freya for example, she is the goddess of many things but beauty love and war are among her main titles, she leads the Valkyries after all." Matt said.

Reyna didn't disagree with him. "I finished your armor not to long ago did you want to try it on?" Matt asked.

Reyna nodded. She took her armor and put it on. She wore silver armor from head to toe. Her helmet was shaped like wings and she wore a silver breast plate over her black with see-through silk long sleeves. She wore a silver skirt around her waist hiding the skirt she was waring. She wore knee guards over her leggings as well as shoulder guards and a sword on her hip.

"You can also put your feather cloak over your armor." Matt added.

"You made this? By hand! How long did it take to press and carve the wings? " Reyna asked. "You have me to thank for that." Rey said smiling. "Knowing you, you used magic to cheat, just like you're doing now. "

Rey blushed and looked away in embarrassment. Which caused everyone to laugh.

Things are starting to go right; I just hope Laurie has control of her brother's pack.

Matt went back to pounding away at the metal.

I hope you're okay Fen. For Laurie 's sake and your packs.
