Chapter Eighty Six
Loki had been trying to break through Valhalla's barrier, but it stayed strong. He managed to appear to Rissa several times during the day, calling out her name, but she couldn't hear him. She thought that it was real, when really, she was in a dream stasis. All he had to do was wake her up.
...
Several days later, I was in school when it happened. I was in the middle of math class.
"Rissa," came a voice.
I looked around the room.
"Rissa!" the voice said again. It was much louder this time. It sounded like Loki again.
In front of me, Loki shimmered into existence.
"Rissa, we haven't got much time. I need you to wake up," he said.
Great. More hallucinations. I moved my head over to the side so I could see the board around Loki.
"Rissa, why aren't you listening to me?" he asked, moving in front of me. "I need you to wake up!"
I ignored him again, moving my head to the other side.
"Rissa! WAKE UP!" He shouted, grasping my shoulders. His touch sent an electric shock through me, sending stars through my eyes.
And I woke up.
