Chapter twenty
Matt
Mapping out Blackwell!
Matt leaned agents the Viking longship with the other descendants who had some of their armor on. Laurie along with what could have been over fifty wolves ran into the center of the open space. Laurie along with the rest of the Wulfenkind turned into their human selves. Laurie nodded. " Okay, this is everyone. "
Matt grinned. "Good we have all the maps here with us. Now we strategize and setup camp. Your packs have always made camps. They are the best chance of help running the camp here in Blackwell, Reyna said that she can cast a barrier spell to keep all non pare gods out of the town. This means only Dependents can come and go from Blackwell."
Laurie turned to skull and Hattie. "Skull you lead the pack before my brother. I'll let you discuss how this works. " Skull nodded his head and took up a place beside Laurie.
"It is true that the Wulfenkind has camped out for generations in the woods. What we're you thinking Thorsen? " Skull asked.
"I was thinking about setting up the other descendants of Loki to join your pack will you help those who don't know all that much about camping. Not only that but you guys when you we're still Raiders you know this whole town comma what is the safest campsites when this all goes to hell?" Matt said. Skull tapped his chin, as he stood in silence as he thought to himself. " Yes, that is true, we know everything about Blackwell if you want safety along with the Border of yours best Camp is in the eastern Woods right around here." Skull said as he pointed to a spot on the map. "The area is covered with tree canopies and they're is a freshwater spring not too far from the site." Reyna nodded her head as her cats sat at her feet listening to the conversation. Matt also nodded his head. "Good to hear. With the help of magic, we'll be able to set up perfect camps but all of Blackwell in theory will be a whole camp. I will call this camp... Camp Descendants if anybody has a better name you're free to tell me." Matt said in a joking manner.
Matt watched as some of the descendants smiled at his humor. " I don't think any of us have any disagreements on the name Matt." Laurie said trying to keep her composer.
Suddenly Matt took notice of Reyna 's expression. Her eyes were blank as if she were a soulless corpse. Trjegul and Bygul both were mewling pawing at Reyna ' s leggings. Matt quickly moved to her side. "Reyna? Reyna wake up." Matt wordily said shaking her lightly, careful as to not hurt her in this state out of fear that she could be broken like a porcelain doll.
Reyna said nothing in response. Matt hastily put his fingers on her neck to check her pulse... she had one thankfully however he couldn't be sure with how faintly it was.
Oh gods why is this happening what is going on with her?
Suddenly there was a gasp. Matt drew back startled. Reyna panted as she gasped at the air. "Reyna your okay! " Matt said happily as he hugged her. "Um... Matt they're staring." Reyna said. Matt quickly withdrew. Matt cleared his throat. "What happened to you? "
"It's difficult to explain... I guess if you could try and picture it it might be more simple to know. I found myself somewhere else I was this ghost my spirit was separated from my body. Think of it as a limbo almost. Well you wouldn't believe who I saw... I saw your uncle and Fenrir. I couldn't quite catch everything that they said. All I can tell you is what they're planning is close to Blackwell. They're going after the graveyard where you found Mjölnir. That's where your uncle plans to start the apocalypse. That's where we have to make our stand." Reyna said. Matt growled clutching his hands.
This close to Blackwell? Why attack so close to home? He knows we can't stop him that easily so why plan on attacking us first we know his plans as the fates have given up more than enough to prepared for the end.
"What is his motive in that though? " Laurie asked crossing her arms. "I could try finding that out but that would require that I put myself as my uncle and think the way he does. I'm not about to try and push my luck when he's turned me dark before I'm just trying to take processions as well as not lose it and destroy the place lighting demigod remember. " Matt said.
Laurie gave him a look that said: ' yeah right, I remember.'
Matt shook his head slowly. "We've got our plan know we start putting it into place. "
Everyone nodded. " right let's go."
"Oh and Matt? " Skull said. Matt looked at him. "No matter what happens you can count on me to have your back. Fen spoke highly of you and I believe that he was right in doing so."
Matt nodded his head. He couldn't help but smile.
Fen thinking highly about me? Wow.
"Skull I'm leaving you in charge while I go with Matt and the others." Laurie said. Skull bowed and took change barking orders.
Laurie shook her head quickly while she had a smile on her lips. She walked over to the group. "All I know is that I'm going to be on the front lines when the dead rise. Matt Owen you both can't protect me this time. We have all gotten stronger since the battle with the serpent. I'm ready for this fight. "
"Are you Laurie? We're talking about a huge wolf with a black coat as thick as ash that breaths fire and has magic! I don't think any of us are really ready to challenge Fenrir Laurie. You should hang back just this once until we know what we're up against." Matt said putting his hand on her shoulder only for her to toss it aside.
"Bullshit! Don't play games with me Thorsen I'm not in the mood to have you all defective with me! I'm not a little kid! I am a warrior and I am a wolf! I know what I'm doing and you will not stand in my way of my fate! I don't care if you and I are allies I am not afraid to cut you down were you stand! Do I make myself clear Thorsen? " she snarled darkly holding the blade on her wrist to Matt 's throat.
"Matt! " the others gasped as they drew their own weapons. "Stand down guys. Laurie is right."
"But Matt! ?" Reyna said in dismay. Matt shook his head. "Your right Laurie...I can't stop you and I can't help you when you fight Fenrir. Just remember that it was your choices that will end up with you being hurt when I warned you of the price to be paid in the end."
"So be it...I'll pay that price in return for my brother's life!" Laurie snarled as she withdrew her weapon. "Let's just get this barrier spell set up and finish up the last few things that have to be done. "

Reyna
Reyna sighed as she shook her head. This barrier spell was the most vital part of keeping the other descendants safe from the hell that would descend on earth. She had her spell book from home which she had proofed to her. The spell required to do the spell was in ancient text ...demonic, Latin maybe? She never really could tell. The last time she had tried the spell out it ended up being a small force field around the candle she was using at the time. She had all of the ingredients and items required for the spell and it made her nervous. She had most of the blood she needed to allow only the descendants to enter the barrier but this spell has its side effects none of them she liked...the last time she used it her hair tips turned blue! It was only for 48 hours but she was still tense for the spell. She alone without Rey was powerful while Rey wasn't. Together they were pretty good but it was easier on both of them if Reyna alone preformed spells.
Reyna slowly opened her book to the page.
The spell required a five star Norse pentagram with ruins. It all so required candles three black one red one purple. Lit in the center a fire with the pot over it Reyna had already put in most of the ingredients all that was left was the blood a single drop would suffice. Reyna nodded and everyone allowed blood to drip from the cut in their hands. Reyna had explained that the wounds would heal right away once the spell is started. Reyna took another breath before saying the spell.
"Ostia in nocte silentio molliter labitur . Quamquam incuriosa recessit a fulgur tonitru , et vocavi te in maius impedimentum ortum ex alto tueri hights et omnes , qui in hac domain ! Custodi norse Deus qui sanguine Praesidio et protege nos usque ad fores ! "
(Latin to English translation "Open doors silence falls softly into night. Careless as lightning departed from its thunder, I summon Thee barrier rise from the depths into greater heights and protect all who enter this domain! Protect those who are of Norse god blood! Open the doors of protection and shield us until the end!")
Suddenly a large barrier appeared and disappeared. Reyna breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at her hair and of course there on her black hair was the blue tips.
Great...
"The spell is up only thoughts of god's blood can enter and already our parents ate on their way and they'll be safe here." Reyna said.
" Good know we wait. " Matt said.
A/N: okay so I'm going to do a time skip cuz there isn't really anything left to do to prepare so see you all for chapter 21 where the war begins...if you have any ideas let me know in a review thanks.
