Chapter 6
Robin + Rabbit's POV
Their argument continued for pretty much the rest of the flight, when they finally arrived. Robin spotted Fox next to… was that an eight-legged horse? Alrighty then. They set down next to the horse. "Ok, time to change back. You're going to have to catch me, alright?" Robin said, stretching out a wing to her friend. "Ok. Let's do this." Rabbit stretched out her wing so that they were touching. She closed her eyes and concentrated. The change started. Feathers shrunk back into their skin, hair grew out the top of their heads, and they grew taller and wider. A few seconds later, two girls were standing in front of Fox. Robin promptly collapsed, and Rabbit caught her. Fox frowned. "What a day. Munin and Hugin, Sleipnir, and now two birds turn into my best friends. I'm not even going to ask." he said, shaking his head. Robin smiled slightly. "Set me down on that rock over there." she murmured sleepily. Rabbit dragged her over and set her down, setting her jacket under her head for a pillow. "Thanks..." Robin muttered, before falling asleep. "Explain." Fox ordered. Rabbit took a breath and recounted their adventures.
Robin's POV
"Hello, daughter." came a voice as soon as she fell asleep. Robin opened her eyes. She was in a room with white granite flooring and golden walls, with a grand chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Robin was facing a beautiful woman. She had pale skin, almost white, and shining black hair that gave you the image of Snow White. She wore a flowing black robe and a black headdress type thing(A/N right here I'm just guessing on what she looks like). "Hello mother." Robin gave a slight bow. "You have done well on your quest so far, cooperating with your allies. I'm proud of you." she said, smiling. "Thanks. I have to keep so much secrets from them, Mother. Sometimes it's so hard..." Robin trailed off. "Don't worry, dear, the time is coming. You can tell them everything soon. Now, our time is almost up, but I have a message. The time for you to change is near. Be prepared. I'm afraid your next dream won't be so pleasant…" Hel's voice faded, and her dream changed. Robin was in Fenrir's cave again, with the wolf himself on the other side. "Hello, little girl." he growled. "I have a name, Fenrir." Robin replied calmly. "Yes, I know. We know all about you. You're Robin." Fenrir barked. "No. I'm not Robin any more. I am so much more. A warrior. A remainder. A survivor. A friend. An enemy. The last." she listed off. "Ah, but you are still a coward. Deep inside. Don't deny it, I can look into your soul. I see fear, pain, betrayal. You are a weakling, and you always will be." he snarled. Robin didn't flinch. "All of those things are true. But you know what? All of those things make me what I am. But you're wrong about me on one thing, Wolf. I am not weak. I fought the war that no demigod, monster, or mortal can remember. But I remember. The gods won't talk about it. But I will, when the time is right. I am no weakling. If anyone is, you are." the wolf snarled at her, and the dream changed once again. It was army of monsters, preparing for battle. "I have seen enough." Robin said, willing herself to wake up. Her friends were talking about their adventures. She hefted herself up, letting out a slight grunt at the effort. They looked up. "Good, you're awake. All aboard the Sleipnir express!" Fox said, jumping onto the eight-legged horse. Rabbit climbed on after, and Robin brought up the rear. Once they were all seated, the horse ran up the mountain, which was puffing smoke. They arrived in 13 minutes flat. Robin jumped off and whispered something in the horse's ear. It nodded, and when Rabbit and Fox jumped off, he tore away. "What did you tell him?" Rabbit asked. "To get a friend." Robin replied simply. "Now, we have further matters to attend to." she said, rubbing her hands together. "This volcano isn't suppose to erupt, so something must be pushing it's way up, and pushing the lava with it. Something very strong and powerful that we don't want to meet." Robin walked over to the edge of the pit, where lava was boiling twenty feet below. "ISN'T THAT RIGHT, FENRIR?!" she shouted into it, her voice echoing. Her friends looked at her like she was crazy. The volcano shook slightly, like the Wolf was laughing as he broke free slowly. Suddenly, Rabbit got a glazed look in her eyes and took a step forward. "It's me. I'm the one who has to stop him." she said, stepping forward again in a trance. Robin snapped around and looked at her. "No. If anyone has to, it's me." Rabbit shook her head. "Robin, I know how you feel about Fenrir, which is why I have to put his rising on hold. One day, you will confront him in battle. It will be long and harsh, but you WILL win. Trust me." Fox look at the two, not really understanding what was going on. "Goodbye, my friends." she smiled sadly at them. She was at the edge of the pit now. Robin's eyes were watery. "Goodbye, Rabbit." Fox finally caught on. "Bye, Rabbit." his voice cracked. "Actually, my name is Chloe Marshal." Rabbit said, then jumped in. The two friends gasped. It was against the Norse laws to share their real name with anyone. A soft voice in the wind sang out, "Fertility's daughter's life shall end, but because of her, evil won't send. The sacrifice has stopped the beast, but for only for a time, when he rises once again, only the warrior girl can fight him." the warrior girl… those words rang in Robin's ears. She found herself grasping Fox's hand and tears streaming down her face. The mountain shook fiercely, and there was a low moaning sound as the lava sunk back down. A small whine brought Robin back to reality. She looked down. Garm was nuzzling her leg, and Sleipnir whinnied behind Fox. "We still have to get you guys home." she murmured.
I'm sorry for killing Chloe/Rabbit, but there had to be a demigod sacrifice to stop Fenrir, and I have other plans for him and Robin. They have some catching up to do. Don't worry, soon Robin's true identity shall be revealed! If you're lucky, I might update today :D but probably not, as I have been keeping up a fight again Writer's Block. I had to force myself to write this chapter and chapter 5, so it might take me longer than expected to write chapter 7, even though that's when the epicness starts... woops, spoilers!
