The Norse

"You don't have to do this Skadi..." Fenrir tried to convince Skadi to not go out, and adventure the other groups. They were the Norse gathered with many more than just the two of them. "But what if they're nice, they could join us! Well not join the Norse but we can... Get together in fights! We could meet the Chinese! With the queen!"  Skadi  said, saying it like she was so confident. "Now why do you want to  go meet the others?  I mean you can't trust them right away Skadi, it's harsh beyond the gates you know.  Joey tried to see beyond the gates. I got him to hold a camera in his mouth so I can see! Something horrible happened... But if you're truly going, then I'm in!" Scylla explained to Skadi, Scylla was always the curious and mischief  little girl. She also annoys everyone with her serpents, because she's the Horror Of The Sea, she has four serpents, but she mostly talks about Joey, the most protective of Scylla.  "Well it's going to take about five of us on the journey, Fenrir, come on most or some could help us! And hey we could have new friends too, and see there story in there place! It'll be different! Come on!"  Skadi said so excited. "Fine,  you really convinced me on this one.  But yeah, I guess it would be cool..." Fenrir  told there little soon to be big gang. "Cool? Not just cool! It will be amazing! I bet the queen is very skilled!" Scylla said jumping up and down making her serpents a little scared. "Well who else can help us?" Fenrir asked afraid that he's actually doing this.

So they adventured in the land of the Norse and asked all there friends if they would help them. Most said no because they were scared of going beyond the gates and thought that they were crazy for doing there big adventure. The biggest adventure yet.  Will it work? Will we die? These were all questions the three of them thought over and over again they kept on asking until they finally got a yes. "Beyond the gates? Wow no God or goddess has gone beyond the gates before... But if it will help, and if I get a lot of friends, then I'm in! Are you joining Fafnir?" Ratatoskr said full of joy. "Alright, alright I'm in but let's not run into the bad gods and goddesses ok?" Fafnir told the others talking like he got no sleep for the past two weeks. "Ya know if we do run into any bad guys, we can fight! Oooohhhh Joey would love to strangle a god!" Scylla said squealing a little. "Well are we ready or what?" Skadi said, very impatient. "Woah woah woah hold your horses there Skadi! First we have to have a plan and all first!!!" Ratatoskr told Skadi. "I'm going with Ratatoskr on this one, we have to have a plan first! Like who do we think will be the nicest and who won't, we never know Skadi. It could go terribly wrong" Fenrir said.

They started off on going to the training arena where they will learn how to use there attacks and what they can do. "Well look who we have here, Scylla, Fenrir, Skadi, Ratatoskr, and Fafnir. So what brings you five here" Freya asked, looking at every one but mostly at Scylla. Everyone can tell by her face she was shocked on seeing them all group up. "Well... Should we tell her? I mean she might catch us and tell Ymir and that will not be good." Fenrir asked the gang. Ymir was the guard of the Norse. Technically the protector and watcher of Norse. "Well I think we should lie... That is true. She will tell Ymir and then it's all over" Scylla whispered to everyone. Freya already knew they were up to something, but just didn't ask. "We're here to learn how to fight. I mean that's why we have an arena in the Norse right?" Skadi told Freya. They were all afraid they would get caught but they'll keep trying and meet the others. "Hmmm alright! How about we get Ymir and he could also teach you..." Freya said. Ymir was already behind Freya. Then they knew there adventure... Already failed. "Get them" Freya said. Those two words frightened them. "We will do what we please Freya!" Scylla yelled. She told two of her serpents to hold her where she is. Skadi following. "The hunt begins... Kuldr attack!" Skadi said. Her dire wolf, Kuldr was always by her side, and when Skadi says to attack, he'll do what she says. The wolf started attacking Ymir. With both, Freya and Ymir distracted, the five of them ran. "Well we are already off to a bad start!" Fenrir told the others, still running.

They started heading to Ratatoskr's little tree house that no one knew. "Stop!" Ymir yelled ferociously, he made an ice wall stopping them. "We can't do a lot of damage! We will be in much bigger trouble!" Fafnir told the others. "Y-you're right!" Scylla said, running out of breath, she looked directly at Ymir, Eye to eye. She knew she had the power to do it. She raised her hand and swiped it, making a ball of darkness and fear, hurting Ymir. Freya was even more angry. "You've hurt Ymir... You're-You're up to something! You traitors!!!" Freya yelled growling a bit. "Traitors? We are NOT traitors!" Skadi growled, Kuldr following. "Come on!" Ratatoskr said getting everyone to follow him. They continued to run to the treehouse. Freya and Ymir lost them in the darkness and fog.

They got to the treehouse and climbed up. "You guys make a plan, I'll guard." Fafnir said, he stayed under the treehouse. His eyes like a hawk, looking for Freya and Ymir. "Alright, what's the plan?" Ratatoskr asked. "Well who has less gods or goddesses in there group?" Skadi asked. "If I remember correctly that would be the... Mayan?" Scylla questioned. "Wait, how do you know that?" Fenrir asked. "It's because...I'm not really from here... I'm with the Greek. They just thought I was better with the Norse. So they brought me here and I saw the others. But I am now known as a Norse, and that's been like that for a while..." Scylla sighed, but she was happy she finally let it out. They were all shocked. They still trusted her though, they've been friends for so long now. "O-ok then we'll start with the Mayan!" Skadi said. "It's ok, Scylla" Fenrir told Scylla, trying to calm her down. "I have an idea, we can't go back to the town, because Freya and Ymir would find us, I have my little fighting place! Surprisingly it's near here." Fenrir said looking like he's ready to fight. They agreed to go, and told Fafnir. And they were on there way.

"So what is this place exactly?" Ratatoskr asked.  "It's an abandoned arena... I go there often to get away from everything. But now we can use it for what it's supposed to be" Fenrir said, they finally calmed down from the accident back in the town. "How did you find this old arena?" Skadi asked. They were really questioning Fenrir about this old arena. But it's only because they are happy that they have an old arena. "You know I like to adventure in the forest Skadi" Fenrir answered. "I have an idea! We could fix up the place if it's abandoned, and that could be a headquarters, type of thing, when we get friends!" Scylla said. They kept on walking until they got to the abandoned arena Fenrir was talking about.

"Here we are!" Fenrir said. It was definitely old and abandoned, there was vines and cracks in some places. That's when Scylla thought again, ok this would probably take more than a decade! Maybe we should just leave it the way it is! It'll be fine! But it was mostly only because she hates cleaning... They went in the arena, smallish but good. "Soooo how do we train ourselves?" Scylla asked. "I really don't know..." Fenrir said, a little flame popped in his hand when he shrugged. His eyes widened. "Ummmm ok? Well first we need training dummies, for the five of us, that'll help!" Fafnir said. "With what?" Skadi asked. Fafnir pointed at the big trees. "That could help" Fafnir shrugged. "I'm up for it!" Scylla said. They went to the trees that were growing in the arena. Ratatoskr was the bravest and tried first. He scratched the tree, and got into it, he started scratching the tree even more and started truly fighting. He threw three acorns at the tree. "Maybe that could make someone dizzy" Ratatoskr said with everyone watching. He backed up and then charged at the tree. He did a couple of other attacks and everyone followed with the other trees. Skadi told Kuldr to attack, and she threw ice spears at the tree. Fenrir also scratched another tree, then howled, making his scratch burn and more powerful. He pounced at the tree making cracks on the ground. Fafnir gained his ax again and started hitting a tree, then threw it at the tree. Scylla told Joey to Gaurd and he popped up and started biting the tree and also barking.
