"Got it?" I asked, TJ nodded.
"Hopefully this works." He said as we walked out of my room. It was about time for dinner. We were discussing this for hours. Now finally we could...'ow' I thought as I slammed into someone coming out of the room next to Halfborn. I look up and see a guy about seven feet tall, red hair, and startling red eyes, he was pretty buff too. I looked over at TJ who looked at me like I just signed a Valhalla death warrant. I met the boys eyes and calmed down his face was calm and cold, but his eyes were filled with curiosity like he wondered what I would do next. I did have to admit I was intimated. "Sorry." I said like it was no big deal.
He gave a slight smiled like he was pleasantly surprised. "No problem."
TJ and I walked over to the elevator. TJ finally looked less scared he would be murdered and never resurrect. "I think you just signed your death warrant." He said shakily
I raised an eyebrow "Dude, we die in battle every day."
TJ shook his head "That was Cole, one of the scariest people here." He bought his voice down to a whisper "You'll be lucky if he doesn't kill you before battle."
I had an awful feeling...yea no it was worse then awful, it was like trying to breathe through your mouth with a thick gagge in it. I let TJ off at the floor where the dining hall is I went back up to get throwing daggers I kept in a bag I would strap to my belt. Lora wouldn't come to practice battles with me anymore because Jack convinced her it was beneath them. So I was mostly alone except I did have daggers and a few years of fighting expect. Being an author you have some fights along the way.
I went back to the dining hall and went to find my friends. I was walking and someone triped me which happened often.(mostly because im a child of Frey a not very intimating nature god.) When I hit the floor I hear someone walk over. I looked up to see the same guy I bumped into in the hall. He snarled at the people at the table and alot fall out of their seats.
I didnt like to have people fight my battles. I was debating wether to say that or just thank him. As much as I bend realitys things can still get in the way. "Thank you." I said with the sweatiest expression I could.
"Yea." he said "I dont like bullies." He smiled slightly. That made me feel better. Although this guy could be a very real threat. For a split second I studied him his eyes were mixed with excitement and surprise. Im honestly not sure if most people would dare speak to this guy without a filter on. It looked like he could kill you with a pencil. Actually a few people could do that in Vahalla.
"I may or may not see you in battle." I smile "Depends on how long I last." I walk away calmly as people stare at me like I was Wonder Woman. 'Please dont look at me' I prayed. I found my friends and sat down.
"You met Cole." Halfborn said stuffing food in his mouth.
"Yea, I did and I have to say Im terrified." I sighing.
"Dont be." TJ spoke up. "I said that to scare you." I looked at him completely un amused 'wow' I thought to myself. TJ laughed.
