My eyes open and I found myself lying in a bed that I knew wasn't mine. what happened last night that I crashed into someone else's bed? I seemed to question myself. ok, think, you were biking to the Brooklyn library when Ashelum text you about needing to get home quickly when the ground started shaking and after that, fuzziness. By now I'm standing pacing the room apparently still wearing the outfit I was when I went out. Some black jeans with a dark gray shirt, which was tucked in, and a mahogany crop-top hoody. I looked at my surroundings, okay, there's a small library with books in it, and a desk with papers and sketching pencils, awesome. Some of the papers have words at the top that say, huh, I couldn't make out what they say from where I was standing. I approached the table, picked up one of the papers, and in some very fancy lettering, I saw the words, Valhalla. I'm not fully sure when or where the last time I've heard those words were but I know I've heard them before. The door opens with a loud creaking sound and I jumped 10 feet.

"Ah, I see you're awake." A gruff voice calls from the door. I turned to see a thin man standing in the doorway looking at me with cold dead eyes. Yikes.

"W-who are you?" My voice was shaky and raspy from how dry it was. I had to clear it multiple times for it to be fully moist. The man rolled his eyes said, "names Helgi." and started to walk away

"WAIT!" I had to jog to catch up with him. This man has no manners I thought to myself. As we turn the corner, I heard the familiar sound of an arrow being fired. Next thing I knew I was holding an arrow shaft in my hand my body turned sideways, slanted, and half leaning.

"Woah" came a voice from a boy around 9, who had happened to be holding an empty bow, and was also wide-eyed. I saw that tensed up immediately and I sighed handing him back the arrow and said, "do try and careful, won't you?"

The little boy flushed with embarrassment and mumbled a thank you that was barely audible. I smile genuinely and walked away to where the older thin man now stood to wait impatiently. "Took you long enough" rude. We entered an elevator when the man next to me spoke,

"that was a kind thing for you to do not making fun of him for losing control of the arrow" "what do you mean?" I was confused about what he meant by 'not making fun'. "That boy has always been bad at sports and has never been able to make a straight shot". Poor kid I though. We entered a large room with people flying around the room when one saw me and floated to a stop in front smiling.

"Hi, I'm Samirah al-Abbas but you can call me Sam" my eyes widened "your names Samirah al-Abbas" Sam nodded "that's hilarious, my name is Semira-Asha" her eyes widened and she laughed. "wow that's new I'll have to introduce you to Alex she'll laugh her head off at this." She then pointed to a seat that seemed to be in the middle of the room where a green-haired girl, I'm pretty sure she's a girl, was sitting next to, I'm saying it, a golden boy. The green-haired girl, ok NOW I'm sure, wore a green and pink diamond patterned shirt and green pants with a pink sweater draped around the chair.

"I like her style," I said pointing to Alex " how did you know Alex is a girl right now?" Sam asked. "when you said Alex will laugh at our name resemblance you said that she'll laugh at it." She nodded as we walked over to the table where the golden boy and Alex stopped talking and looked up when they saw me next to Sam.

"Hi, I'm Semira," I said before Alex burst into hysterical laughter. Sam looked at me with a told you so look on her face.

"I'm sorry," Alex said wiping tears from her eyes "I assume you know who your standing with right?" I seated myself next to Alex on the opposite side of the golden boy while Sam sat next to me. Wow, only a few minutes here and I'm already making people laugh.

"Yup" I agreed. Alex continued to laugh while golden boy next to her waved hello and said,

"Hi Semira, I'm Magnus nice to meet you." Magnus, Alex, and Sam were all taller than me and made me feel small but at the same time welcome. The room was now full of people who were all smiling and laughing. They all seemed to have weapons with them; bow and arrows, swords, spears, and even some guns. Wow, I thought, this place is serious.

Soon enough, all the seats were filled. I was looking at the number of people when a bell rang out. "May I have your attention, please." Everyone got quiet and looked to the man by a throne I hadn't seemed to notice before. It was the same man I followed to this room. "now, tonight we have 3 new people joining us. The first, Radja Rumera a 15-year-old girl faced with an uncomfortable challenge, play the video". Video, I'll be able to see what happened to me to get me here. The lights dimmed and a large screen lowered from the ceiling and start to play a video that seemed to have been taken in the air.

A group of four girls was walking down a street that happened to lead to a deep alleyway. An old, obviously drunk, man hobbled out of the alley to stand in their way "Hey little girls, want to see some cute baby bunnies?" the whole bunch of them became very excited except for one girl who must have been Radja. "just follow me I'll show you some kittens too" to this the three convinced girls Radja followed them not wanting to be left alone followed the man. When they got into the alley the man pulled a knife on them and told them to strip. This scared the three but Radja looked as though she could be doing other things besides be screaming. Out of her purse, she held a hammer and raised it above her head ready to strike when the man shoved the knife in her throat, at this everyone groaned she brought down the hammer with such force there saw a loud crack as the man slumped forward.

The screen zoomed in on the girl and it went black. The room was cheering loudly. They seemed very pleased that she had died even though I saw her across the room, then It dawned on me, I'm dead that's something no person should think as you applaud with a big crowd. The man called something that sounded like "daughter of Thor," but I couldn't be sure since the crowd got louder. The next one shown was a boy with only the same story but change alleyway to hotel room, old drunken man to tall slim woman, and he was alone with a gun. He was announced as "son of Then I realized that I was the only one who hadn't had their video shown so I was anxious to see what had happened considering I didn't remember.

It started the way I remembered it:

I was biking down the bridge when I took a short break considering my phone was buzzing frantically with texts from Ashelum. I looked at it a look of confusion written on my face when the ground started quivering which turned into a full on rumble. Cars started flipping over the bridge, forcing me to dive off my bike onto a forward roll landing close enough to where a red circle started to appear on the ground. I scrambled backwards and was on my feet in a matter of seconds. To my surprise a red man appeared in the center of the circle holding two blood-red swords thinner than a man's bone. I was threatening to fall over considering the ground was still shaking. He opened his eyes to reveal a pair of golden and red eyes which looked around before he started chuckling. Everyone now was staring in awe at the screen transfixed. "well, good old Brooklyn it's been a while." He looked around and saw a woman clutching her two year old son in her arms. He started to walk over to them and spoke again, "Ah, two sacrifices in the soon to be new world." My eyes widened in horror then creased with anger. "if it's one thing I hate it's a child sacrifice" I seemed to do a strange gesture with my hands which looked like me grabbing something Infront of me and throwing it down to the ground. Everyone gasped as I was saw standing in pink and green rollerblades. I pulled something small from my hair and waved it around finally holding a pure black sword and shouted, "HEY, DEFAULT ELMO!" the red man stopped and turned towards me an enraged look on his face. "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME LITTLE GIRL!" he ran towards me and slashed his swords meaning to kill me but I was behind him now. He turned surprised but seemed to have more energy than I did. He charged again this time his right sword impaled in my gut. I gasped, shuttered then spit blood before I felt to my knees. He walked away a smile on his face. I was on my feet again and pulled his sword from my gut nearly screaming from the pain. My eyes were shut when I started to sing "black bird, black moon, black sky, black light, black everything black" at the last part my eyes opened and I had pure black eyes with one dark brown iris and one amber iris. Faster than anyone could see I was behind the red man, slicing off his head and kicked it off the bridge so it went soaring through the air. As for his body, it fell to its knees, having no head nor brain to control it, and I grabbed it by the shoulders, though it burned my hand, and with more strength then I knew I had, threw it off the bridge. I, of course, was still implied did a 180 turn and said "You obviously don't comprehend the level of insane I operate at" stumbled and fell. The camera zoomed on me and black out like the other times.

The room was silent. No one moved, no one talked, and I held my breath thinking they were going to call me out when they burst out in the loudest applause I've ever heard. Imagine, a Katy Perry crowd x10, and you can understand what it was I was hearing. The next thing I knew was that as soon as the group quieted down a cold rock was being place to my forehead. A light flowing sensation was going through my body and there were gasps that went around the room. They seemed to be looking at something above my head. I looked up and saw two snakes curving around each other in the shape of an S and biting each other's tails. It was a sign of Loki. "I thought me and Sam were the only ones."
