I was honestly surprised to see Lucas was going along so willingly. He didn't seem like the kind of person who would, and looking at how he was a Lycan as well, I could only imagine why.
Stepping forward, Kara waited for Lucas and I, and as we stepped through the portal, I knew there was no turning back, and honestly I was excited.
As a blinding white light filled my vision, I felt myself being twisted and pulled until peace flowed over my body like a warm blanket. Gasping, I looked around and found myself lost and alone but something in front of me called me forward.
With one foot in front of the other, I made my way through the white clouds of mist encircling my body until a small, green clearing came into view and I took in the sweet smell of fresh air and bright blue skies.
"Welcome to Asgard." Odin grinned as he held his hands up into the air, spinning slowly to show us the magical realm we were entering. I honestly wasn't sure what I was expecting, but I can promise it definitely wasn't this.
Tall white pillars loomed around us, holding up large white marble roofs seemingly cascading far off into the distance. An as I stepped forward, I realized among this pantheon-styled buildings laid mountains decorated in green forests and waterfalls. There had to been a thousand buildings all built into the mountain sides, and turning to Odin, I frowned in confusion.
I had expected something far darker or perhaps more isolate, but instead, I was in a city.
"Where is Asgard?" Lucas asked, causing me to turn and face him. He was just as confused as I was, and I was glad he asked the question instead of me.
There was no way I was going to make myself look like an idiot.
"In time you will learn," Odin replied in a booming voice deep and distinct it made your soul shake when he spoke and there was amusement in his tone. He headed towards the large white steps of the massive marble building in front of us. I couldn't help but be wary of the man he was. "Follow me this way, and I will have Freya show you to your rooms. You can settle for tonight, and tomorrow you start school."
"School?" Both Cassie and I said at the same time as we looked at each other in confusion and then looked back to Odin. We had just graduated school. The last thing we wanted to do right now was go back to school.
