A Long Walk To Water Section-3
1. By keeping by his uncle and by his uncle reassuring him so that he won't get sad. I think his uncle helped him overcome his fear by help by calming. No not really because I've never been in a situation like that.
2. I think the desert was the worst because he stubbed his toe and lost his friend although they food and water so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
3. I think that he would have gone mad and just crack under pressure and grief. I think I could use that strategy if someone has lost someone they loved and that strategy could help them.
4. A cold fist gripped his heart.

A Long Walk To Water Section-2
Q1. I think they don't want Salva along because of how little food supply they have and that their was already so much people and they thought that he would wine and complain about being tired hungry and thirsty. I think that it is selfish that they want to leave to die but I think that they were thinking about all the people that already were in the group and are hungry.
Q2. I think that water dictates her life because she spends most of her time if not all of her time getting ready and getting water for her family so they can live. Video games because I spend most of my time on games.
Q3. I think I've learnt how to get honey from a bee hive without getting stung. I learnt that how to cook meat. I also learnt how to get water out of a dried up lake. I do think that he is doing good at surviving because he is still alive and means he is surviving.
Q4 I think that it would be safer to live at home because there is a high chance of Dinka people to come and kill you and that would be bad. Also you wouldn't have a real home and it would be horrible. and even though you don't have to walk you have to sit there and dig a hole to get the water.

Georgia And The Voyage To Hell
Georgia and the voyage to Hell
She realized that now that she had carried out her quest. She needed to do something else something that was way more dangerous than freeing souls that hung in an chandelier. We’re going to Hell…
She woke up shivering in her ship. Her friends at the front of the boat.” Arghhhh.” her friends turned to see me they rushed forward to give me a hug, the angel sat in the background with his family we were all very happy. The angel nodded to me, and they all disappeared into vapour. I wondered who they really were.
I turned my attention back to my friends they were hugging me and asking what happened because they thought I was dead. I told them about my dream and what had happened. They stared at me Jenny adjusted her strap to her spear.
“ well then.” said Jenny, “we have work to do….”
getting there is no fun!
“ So anyone have any ideas on how to get there.” Scarlet looked clean out of corny jokes.
“ Well I suppose we couldn’t kill ourselves to get there.”
“ and how do you plan to get out again.”
“ I don’t know.”
“ I’ve got an idea.” they both turned to me.
“How?” they both asked.
“ we got to use the portals I can make.”
“ Are you crazy you could kill yourself!” they both said.
“ You gotta better idea.”
They both closed their mouths so I took that as no they didn’t have an idea.
We sat on the deck and ate which I hadn’t since ages. We all were munching when something swooped down and landed on the deck with two next to it. We all stood and grabbed our weapons. The demons hissed at us.
I put on my helmet and got my hover boots. They lunged with blinding speed but I had learned that they would swoop. I jumped through a black hole and appeared behind them I tried to stab one but they were smart too. One lunged to the side and racked its claws against me I felt instant pain I fell backwards and landed in an portal and blacked out.
When I woke up I was in one of those black holes that I used. I couldn’t see anything. Something floated past me I realized it was an old sock. I thought about the computer and computer came flying up to me, the exact computer her shield had materialized.
She imagined herself back on the ship. She fell out of her portal right behind the demons. hey didn’t notice me. I looked down and nearly yelped I was covered in mist all around me I krept behind the demons that were now getting ready to pounce at my friends that now lay on the ground.
I growled with anger. They turned just as they got hit by a full charge of my shield. She didn’t know what happened in the battle except that I didn’t want to die, the demons screamed in terror they tried to fly away but I cut them down with my sword. Dust fluttered onto the ship then quickly disappeared. My friends looked up mystified that they weren’t dead. They looked at me in disbelief.” come on guys we need to go are you coming?’ they nodded they looked like someone had died which in truth someone did just died. I realized what was bothering them I looked down and yelped. The black mist was still there. I tapped my helmet and it turned back to a watch. Jenny and Scarlet sighed with relief.
I looked out of the ship and I knew what was going to happen
Cold cold and well more cold
I looked back at the sun and said goodbye to the last bit of happiness I might see before I died my second time. I opened the portal straining against my will and leapt through. We found ourselves on a stone pathway that lead to nowhere this place felt of misery and smelled like mildew and a jersey that hasn’t been washed in a year.” yuck.” Scarlet had stepped into some mush on the ground and was trying to shake it off her feet. I looked around again all my surroundings was dark damp and foggy. This place was nothing but sadness. I knew my father would hate this place he always loved being in a sunny place but not always outside.
I hoped my dad was okay. I turned to my friends to ask what to do when I noticed that they weren’t there they hadn’t made a sound and yet they somehow got taken by someone or something. I heard a rustle of a bush and a quick flash of a dark shape. I followed the shape deeper and deeper into the gloomy night wondering where it was taking me.
Finally when I knew I was going to collapse out of complete exhaustion the dark blurry shape came to a stop in the middle of a little camp with a little fire burning on the top the dark shape was actually was wearing a hood. The kidnapper was holding two lumps in each arms. I realized that they were Jenny and Scarlet. I tried to control my breathing. Because now the creature had taken off its hood and now I was staring at the face of a Cyclops.
Plan gone wrong
I was not ready to see a cyclops there about to eat my friends, but I knew my eyes were not lying I... was staring at a Cyclopes.
I tried to control my breathing the cyclopes was talking to my friends that were now dangling on a pole suspended over a spit of fire.
I was wondering of how to save my friends when I heard something in my head… It was Tia. Oh no this whole time that I had saved the angels and came here I hadn’t even talked to Tia and I barely used her. With an apology to Tia I took her off my necklace and asked her for help.
“ Oh so now you want my help because your friends are in trouble.”
Look i’m sorry I forgot about you but right now is not the time to get all feisty at me.
Well maybe if you hadn’t forgotten me in the first place I wouldn’t have been mad at you.( the sword had a point.) Wow I stumbled right into that didn’t.
“ OK fine i’ll help but you have to promise not to forget me again ok.”
“Deal.”
“OK so plan time now how do we do this.” she asked.“Why don’t you go distract the cyclops while I teleport to Jenny and Scarlet and free them.” Tia tried to nod to me which seemed really odd but I took it as a yes.
Tia flew out from behind the trees towards the cyclops humming to herself as she floated down, it sounded like she was singing?
I imagined myself over behind the cyclops I opened my eyes right in front of me was the cyclops its back turned to me I didn’t know if it was a female or a male so I decided to keep it as it.
I imagined black mist shaped like daggers ready to slice the ropes that entangled my friends. The mist obeyed willingly. But when I sliced the first rope the cyclops seemed to have excellent hearing. The cyclops turned. The cyclops looked horrible with nasty burn marks and cuts that were dotted all over its body.” well well well.”
Decapitating “ no just no “
The cyclops swung it’s arm at me I flipped backwards just as his arm came crashing down. Tia was behind the cyclops looking for a way to kill the cyclops I sent my thoughts to Tia asking for help.
“ Help pls “
I’m thinking
Well think fast!
I rushed and used all of my strength to jump over the cyclops I landed with a thud, running towards Tia I grabbed Tia swung wildly round the cyclops's head fell to the ground with another thud.
I fell to the ground exhausted as Tia flew other to where my friends were still entangled in the ropes. Jenny was conscious looking around looking mystified. At last she saw me next to the decapitated cyclops.” What happened.” Scarlet was starting to wake up.” uhh I feel like someone dropped a bag of sacks on me.” I took that as they were not going to die. I propped them against a log and brought out the supplies that we had left on the ship.
They watched amazed as I used the portals to teleport the food and water. I had found that I could only teleport my things not others unless they asked me too also it had a cool down.
Wolves. it had to be flipping wolves
I was not ready for wolves. But reality hit me once again, thanks reality. We were navigating down a rocky mountain the mud mushing under our feet.
Once in a while we would hear a howl piercing the night or a small booming noise.
We made to the ground when we heard a snarl from behind. We turned to see a wolf pounce at us more following behind. I imagined Tia turning into a giant lion. Before my eyes Tia standing roaring at the pack of wolves challenging them I tapped my bracelet and it morphed into my helmet and my hover boots I flew into the air using black misty daggers.
I charged the wolves teleporting behind one stabbing it and disappearing again but I knew that I was losing strength I was wearing myself out but I knew that I wouldn’t die.
We fought until there was one last wolf left, Scarlet shooting arrows, Jenny slashing with her spear. We surrounded the wolf, the wolf backs against the cave. It yelped and ran away.
We thought that we had scared it it off. We were wrong very very wrong
We are nearly crushed by Boulders
Well at least we would knowing that we tried.
We turned to see three trolls the size of ten feet tall. They held up their arms. I realized too late.” scram!” we all scattered as the giant trolls threw boulders down at us.
Tia flew up to me. I grabbed hold of her and materialised my shield above me as another boulder nearly crushed me.
Scarlet was pondering the giants with arrows while Jenny fearlessly slashed wildly at the trolls making them stagger. But that only seemed to annoy them one of the trolls smacked Jenny out of the way as she made for another strike. She flew across and hit a wall.
I screamed I ran towards Jenny, she lay on the ground groaning.
I nearly got crushed twice while I was running towards Jenny. I made it to her grabbed her by the hand and teleported her behind a rock. I gave her some ambrosia. Colour returned to her face she started to cough. But she wouldn’t be able to fight yet she was too weak.
I ran from behind the boulder yelling in challenge. Not the best thing to do if you don’t want to die by getting crushed by a boulder but it was the only way to save my friends.
All of the trolls turned towards me with crooked evil grins on their faces.” well one opposes us when we have already taken out your friend. They laughed as if it were a good joke. She ran straight towards the troll and made her sword disappear inside of the troll that had spoken. The troll arched his back as it dissolves into dust. Suddenly the trolls didn’t look so confident. They backed up probably wondering what else I could do to them.
Scarlet still had her bow arched at them but I knew that it wouldn’t hurt them.
The trolls were gaining back their courage and will lumbering back towards them but they still looked nervous maybe because now their brother was now reduced to dust.
A whisking sound whisked through it hit the troll. The troll looked surprised to see a spear in its chest it crumbled dust.
It brother turned looking behind me there lay Jenny without her spear. Somehow she had thrown it and it had connected with the second to last troll.
The last troll ran off screaming.
“ brains Brains “
We were crossing another creak when we heard clattering hissing. Gathering around us were Zombies? They stared at us. Some had rusty guns. Others had swords or spears.
In the corner of my eye I saw Jenny gently remove her spear to her hand and Scarlet pull out her bow.
There were so many of them we would be outnumbered.
I imagined that Tia was a sword again she appeared in my hand again. Tia was shaking in my hand or that might have been me. I imagined she was a lion again she obeyed willingly. I jumped onto her back ready to die fighting.
The first zombie that lumbered up to us had a gun. Scarlet cut it down with the slice of an arrow.
Lighting blasted from Jenny’s spear blinding everyone apart from us. The zombies stumbled and tripped on each other. We clashed through the ranks slashing wildly. Jenny’s spear Scarlet’s bow and my daggers.
I heard a cry. Scarlet’s this time. I looked other and tried not to sob. There Scarlet lay blood pouring from the wound that one of the zombies shot. I charged towards Scarlet slashing everything in my way. I yelled a battle cry almost as good as halfborn. A blurring white aroa whirled around me as I cut down every last zombie that was left alive.
At last I made it to the zombie that had shot Scarlet. I hacked it to pieces as easily as a tiger could have. I ran to the side of Scarlet she was coughing up blood. I brought out some more ambrosia for her to eat.
Her colour was brought back just a little. She was too close to death. Jenny ran to our side side she was crying.” you can’t die! You Won’t Die’ Jenny was pulling out the health kit that we had brung with us.’ what happened.’ Scarlet was still coughing up blood.
You got shot.
Oh that’s why there's so much pain
None of us smiled we all had tears in our eyes.
Rebirth
We carried Scarlet along the rusty road that they had been following for what seems like hours which in truth it probably had.
Jenny was furiously wiping away her tears.
Scarlet’s breath was getting more ragged. I couldn’t help but sob. I didn’t want to see my friend die. We were still making our way down when we saw a house with light that's blinding me. We had no choice but to see what the Mysterious house was. We fell in front of the door in exhaustion. Someone opened the door.
Immediately I knew the person was a god he looked tall handsome with blond hair blue eyes that sparkled and he smiled gladly. Who are you. Jenny’s arm inched towards her spear. With a flash Jenny already had her spear aimed at the gods chest. The gods smile didn’t waver. Oh put that old thing done not that it would have hurt me anyway because of my mother. His mother? what was he talking about.
But the way he talked with such ease as if nothing could actually hurt him. your that god… who was it oh ya Balder. The gods smile increased I knew I had hit the target. He looked down to who I was holding. “ oh dear I could help with this.” he said looking at Scarlet. He simply touched her arm and immediately her colour returned to her head. She started to cough. She looked up at us mystified.”what ‘ her eyes rolled up her head.
Jenny cried with relief. She knelt next to her sister hugging her tightly as Scarlet started to snore. You should probably come in or the people that are hunting you will catch up to you but they can’t hurt you. She remembered the wolfs that had ran away from them and she wondered if that was the only things that were out to get her.
The god seemed to see what she was thinking by the way she was looking.’ oh yes those giants that you stole from are still out to get you they would never forget something that insulting maybe even closer to when Loki insulted Aesir in his own house!
But don’t worry about that right now when I can give you food or water. I was tired hungry and thirsty, I didn’t hesitate when Balder opened the door. They spilled onto the warm carpet. Balder went to what looked like a kitchen he pulled out a knife and started to chop some meat up. Who knew you could cook meat in hell.
I went over to sit in the couch where Scarlet lay asleep snoring. Jenny was sitting next to her. She looked at me with a smile on her face. She looked more at ease now that we were out of danger and that her sister was okay.
She lay down and rested her eyes I went to go see what Balder was doing. I went to go round the corner when I heard voices. Faint but I could hear them. One was an angry gruff voice and the voice of Balder. The other voice was followed by other girl voices. The giants were here for revenge.
I ran back to the couch where Scarlet lay awake sipping some nectar. She looked up at me smiling. When she saw my expression her smile turn confused.” what's wrong.’
Giants! I replied. Right outside talking to Balder.
We need to go now. We snuck through the window that was open. I left a message on the couch for Balder saying thank you. I heard the raging voices of the giants as they find the note that I had left on the couch. We didn’t stick around for the giants to find us as soon as we got out we ran from the house.
We were breathing heavily, Scarlet was winded because of her injury.
We sat down for a while to catch our breathe. We pulled out the canteen of water that we took from Balder's house. “Mine!” Scarlet announced.
“Uh, I guess.” I said. I handed the water over to her. She drained the water and soon there was none left.” well I guess it's time to keep going. We all stood and started to walk towards the most dangerous place we thought.
Liam
We were standing in front of a huge abandoned house. Well at least that's what we thought when a boy spilled out the doorway. We readied our weapons.”wait!” the boy cried.” who are you.” I asked.
“Liam.” he replied he sounded tired.
“Well Liam what are you doing in hell?”
“I died and woke up here.” he answered. He told us the story from when he got the ring that transformed into a weapon to when he woke up here.”then I met you guys.” he finished. We all lowered our weapons.
“You should’ve gone to Valhalla.” Jenny said.
“What’s Valhalla?” he asked
“Where people go if they died heroically.”
“Which I did but I went here.” Liam said glumly
“Well we’re here on a mission, so if you could shimmy over that would be nice. The girl with the talking sword said.
“ hey I want to come I don’t even know what to do.’ I replied
“ well if you have a weapon you might be helpful.’ said Jenny We explained what we were doing and why they were here.” So your saying you came in this place on purpose!!” I don’t intend on leaving my father down here all by himself.” I said with the talking sword? They all ran back into the corridor and continued back down the path he had came. On the way we explained who we were and where we had came from
“So your telling me that there is another place that a girl on a horse can take you. But why did she not take me. Well it won’t matter right now we have company!’ from around the corner came a legion of ghouls they had swords in their hands and were charging towards us. I readied my sword Jenny grabbed her spear and Scarlet grabbed her arrows. But before any of us could react Liam yelled and the walls exploded. Water gushed through and the ghouls were swept off there feet. Heat seared her back as fire burned the skeletons to ashes.
Liam’s eyes burned with rage. He turned to us and slumped on me the fire in his eyes burned away as he nearly passed out.”woah cowboy.”I fed him some of the ambrosia that I had left. He started to stand more steadily. When he realized he was still leaning on me he quickly stood and looked away with embarrassment. We started running down the corridors again running past loads of doors until we got to a huge bars. A huge bark echoed along the walls. Jenny cursed.” GARM!” another female voiced yelled. We hid behind a corner as the giant wolf came running from around the corner. We ran again as the wolf was about to sniff us out.
A Bargain
Down and up as the Garm kept on chasing after us. Soon we felt tired and stopped. Too late. The wolf came charging from around the corner towards us. And bowled into Liam licking his face?!” Garm for goodness sake.” the sound of the voice came around the corner and oh gosh she looked like the female version of two face!” she looked straight at as and grinned.”oh i’m guessing you're the ones who Garm sniffed out.” she said smiling in a cruel way.
“We’re here to bargain.” I said bravely.
“Now, what for?” she replied.
“My father.” I said.
“Well what would you give that I want?” she asked.
What would she want I thought to myself. She pondered the thought. Before I could decide Liam stepped up.”me” he said.
“Now why would you step up for them Liam.” she smiled.
“How did you know my name?” he asked.
“I’m you're mother of course.”she said as if she had delivered great news.
“Say what now.” he said in disbelief.
“And yes you can have your father but I will take my son in exchange.” she said.
“No we are not leaving without Liam.” I said.
“Well then have it your way if I don’t give me my son you don’t get your father.” she replied. She didn’t want to leave Liam here. She grabbed Liam and bolted with Jenny and Scarlet as she heard the roar of Garm and Hela. We ran ran and ran. We didn’t stop when we got out of the hotel but instead kept on running. Georgia opened a portal in front of us. We leapt through the portal.
We are judged again?
We spilled back into the hall of the slain to see all of the warriors staring at us confusingly. We stood on the stage and explained what had happened since we had escaped from Valhalla and had arrived back now here.” well this a pretty besar story isn’t it. Hunding said as Helgi fed him some grapes.” does Odin wish to intercede. He said looking at the throne dejectedly. Nothing happened.” wel…” a sudden boom shook the room. A man appeared on the throne. I gasped.” father!” I screamed as I ran towards him. I hugged him and he hugged me back. But instead he had one eye black hair and had a huge sword next to him. He smiled and ruffled my hair.” your Odin?” I asked in amazement.
“ but if two gods fell in love wouldn’t it make another god.” Helgi said in confusion.
“ yes.” Odin replied.
“I’M A GOD!?!” I said.
“Yes.” Odin said simply.
“But what god am I?” I asked.
“Well of portals of course.” as if that hadn’t occurred to me because it hadn’t. Now that I thought about it it made more sense. The way when I went in the portal and didn’t come out.” what about Liam.” I said.
“Hela agreed to let him stay at Valhalla.” Odin replied.
“But what do I do now.” I asked.
“Come with me.” Odin said.
“To Asgard?” I said with amazement. He nodded. I couldn’t believe it. I was a god.

She ran straight towards the troll and made her sword disappear inside of the troll that had spoken. The troll arched his back as it dissolves into dust. Suddenly the trolls didn’t look so confident. They backed up probably wondering what else I could do to them.
Scarlet still had her bow arched at them but I knew that it wouldn’t hurt them.
The trolls were gaining back their courage and will lumbering back towards them but they still looked nervous maybe because now their brother was now reduced to dust.
A whisking sound whisked through it hit the troll. The troll looked surprised to see a spear in its chest it crumbled dust.
It brother turned looking behind me there lay Jenny without her spear. Somehow she had thrown it and it had connected with the second to last troll.
The last troll ran off screaming.
“ brains Brains “
We were crossing another creak when we heard clattering hissing. Gathering around us were Zombies? They stared at us. Some had rusty guns. Others had swords or spears.
In the corner of my eye I saw Jenny gently remove her spear to her hand and Scarlet pull out her bow.
There were so many of them we would be outnumbered.
I imagined that Tia was a sword again she appeared in my hand again. Tia was shaking in my hand or that might have been me. I imagined she was a lion again she obeyed willingly. I jumped onto her back ready to die fighting.
The first zombie that lumbered up to us had a gun. Scarlet cut it down with the slice of an arrow.
Lighting blasted from Jenny’s spear blinding everyone apart from us. The zombies stumbled and tripped on each other. We clashed through the ranks slashing wildly. Jenny’s spear Scarlet’s bow and my daggers.
I heard a cry. Scarlet’s this time. I looked other and tried not to sob. There Scarlet lay blood pouring from the wound that one of the zombies shot. I charged towards Scarlet slashing everything in my way. I yelled a battle cry almost as good as halfborn. A blurring white aroa whirled around me as I cut down every last zombie that was left alive.
At last I made it to the zombie that had shot Scarlet. I hacked it to pieces as easily as a tiger could have. I ran to the side of Scarlet she was coughing up blood. I brought out some more ambrosia for her to eat.
Her colour was brought back just a little. She was too close to death. Jenny ran to our side side she was crying.” you can’t die! You Won’t Die’ Jenny was pulling out the health kit that we had brung with us.’ what happened.’ Scarlet was still coughing up blood.
You got shot.
Oh that’s why there's so much pain
None of us smiled we all had tears in our eyes.
Rebirth
We carried Scarlet along the rusty road that they had been following for what seems like hours which in truth it probably had.
Jenny was furiously wiping away her tears.
Scarlet’s breath was getting more ragged. I couldn’t help but sob. I didn’t want to see my friend die. We were still making our way down when we saw a house with light that's blinding me. We had no choice but to see what the Mysterious house was. We fell in front of the door in exhaustion. Someone opened the door.
Immediately I knew the person was a god he looked tall handsome with blond hair blue eyes that sparkled and he smiled gladly. Who are you. Jenny’s arm inched towards her spear. With a flash Jenny already had her spear aimed at the gods chest. The gods smile didn’t waver. Oh put that old thing done not that it would have hurt me anyway because of my mother. His mother? what was he talking about.
But the way he talked with such ease as if nothing could actually hurt him. your that god… who was it oh ya Balder. The gods smile increased I knew I had hit the target. He looked down to who I was holding. “ oh dear I could help with this.” he said looking at Scarlet. He simply touched her arm and immediately her colour returned to her head. She started to cough. She looked up at us mystified.”what ‘ her eyes rolled up her head.
Jenny cried with relief. She knelt next to her sister hugging her tightly as Scarlet started to snore. You should probably come in or the people that are hunting you will catch up to you but they can’t hurt you. She remembered the wolfs that had ran away from them and she wondered if that was the only things that were out to get her.
The god seemed to see what she was thinking by the way she was looking.’ oh yes those giants that you stole from are still out to get you they would never forget something that insulting maybe even closer to when Loki insulted Aesir in his own house!
But don’t worry about that right now when I can give you food or water. I was tired hungry and thirsty, I didn’t hesitate when Balder opened the door. They spilled onto the warm carpet. Balder went to what looked like a kitchen he pulled out a knife and started to chop some meat up. Who knew you could cook meat in hell.
I went over to sit in the couch where Scarlet lay asleep snoring. Jenny was sitting next to her. She looked at me with a smile on her face. She looked more at ease now that we were out of danger and that her sister was okay.
She lay down and rested her eyes I went to go see what Balder was doing. I went to go round the corner when I heard voices. Faint but I could hear them. One was an angry gruff voice and the voice of Balder. The other voice was followed by other girl voices. The giants were here for revenge.
I ran back to the couch where Scarlet lay awake sipping some nectar. She looked up at me smiling. When she saw my expression her smile turn confused.” what's wrong.’
Giants! I replied. Right outside talking to Balder.
We need to go now. We snuck through the window that was open. I left a message on the couch for Balder saying thank you. I heard the raging voices of the giants as they find the note that I had left on the couch. We didn’t stick around for the giants to find us as soon as we got out we ran from the house.
We were breathing heavily, Scarlet was winded because of her injury.
We sat down for a while to catch our breathe. We pulled out the canteen of water that we took from Balder's house. “Mine!” Scarlet announced.
“Uh, I guess.” I said. I handed the water over to her. She drained the water and soon there was none left.” well I guess it's time to keep going. We all stood and started to walk towards the most dangerous place we thought.
Liam
We were standing in front of a huge abandoned house. Well at least that's what we thought when a boy spilled out the doorway. We readied our weapons.”wait!” the boy cried.” who are you.” I asked.
“Liam.” he replied he sounded tired.
“Well Liam what are you doing in hell?”
“I died and woke up here.” he answered. He told us the story from when he got the ring that transformed into a weapon to when he woke up here.”then I met you guys.” he finished. We all lowered our weapons.
“You should’ve gone to Valhalla.” Jenny said.
“What’s Valhalla?” he asked
“Where people go if they died heroically.”
“Which I did but I went here.” Liam said glumly
“Well we’re here on a mission, so if you could shimmy over that would be nice. The girl with the talking sword said.
“ hey I want to come I don’t even know what to do.’ I replied
“ well if you have a weapon you might be helpful.’ said Jenny We explained what we were doing and why they were here.” So your saying you came in this place on purpose!!” I don’t intend on leaving my father down here all by himself.” I said with the talking sword? They all ran back into the corridor and continued back down the path he had came. On the way we explained who we were and where we had came from
“So your telling me that there is another place that a girl on a horse can take you. But why did she not take me. Well it won’t matter right now we have company!’ from around the corner came a legion of ghouls they had swords in their hands and were charging towards us. I readied my sword Jenny grabbed her spear and Scarlet grabbed her arrows. But before any of us could react Liam yelled and the walls exploded. Water gushed through and the ghouls were swept off there feet. Heat seared her back as fire burned the skeletons to ashes.
Liam’s eyes burned with rage. He turned to us and slumped on me the fire in his eyes burned away as he nearly passed out.”woah cowboy.”I fed him some of the ambrosia that I had left. He started to stand more steadily. When he realized he was still leaning on me he quickly stood and looked away with embarrassment. We started running down the corridors again running past loads of doors until we got to a huge bars. A huge bark echoed along the walls. Jenny cursed.” GARM!” another female voiced yelled. We hid behind a corner as the giant wolf came running from around the corner. We ran again as the wolf was about to sniff us out.
A Bargain
Down and up as the Garm kept on chasing after us. Soon we felt tired and stopped. Too late. The wolf came charging from around the corner towards us. And bowled into Liam licking his face?!” Garm for goodness sake.” the sound of the voice came around the corner and oh gosh she looked like the female version of two face!” she looked straight at as and grinned.”oh i’m guessing you're the ones who Garm sniffed out.” she said smiling in a cruel way.
“We’re here to bargain.” I said bravely.
“Now, what for?” she replied.
“My father.” I said.
“Well what would you give that I want?” she asked.
What would she want I thought to myself. She pondered the thought. Before I could decide Liam stepped up.”me” he said.
“Now why would you step up for them Liam.” she smiled.
“How did you know my name?” he asked.
“I’m you're mother of course.”she said as if she had delivered great news.
“Say what now.” he said in disbelief.
“And yes you can have your father but I will take my son in exchange.” she said.
“No we are not leaving without Liam.” I said.
“Well then have it your way if I don’t give me my son you don’t get your father.” she replied. She didn’t want to leave Liam here. She grabbed Liam and bolted with Jenny and Scarlet as she heard the roar of Garm and Hela. We ran ran and ran. We didn’t stop when we got out of the hotel but instead kept on running. Georgia opened a portal in front of us. We leapt through the portal.
We are judged again?
We spilled back into the hall of the slain to see all of the warriors staring at us confusingly. We stood on the stage and explained what had happened since we had escaped from Valhalla and had arrived back now here.” well this a pretty besar story isn’t it. Hunding said as Helgi fed him some grapes.” does Odin wish to intercede. He said looking at the throne dejectedly. Nothing happened.” wel…” a sudden boom shook the room. A man appeared on the throne. I gasped.” father!” I screamed as I ran towards him. I hugged him and he hugged me back. But instead he had one eye black hair and had a huge sword next to him. He smiled and ruffled my hair.” your Odin?” I asked in amazement.
“ but if two gods fell in love wouldn’t it make another god.” Helgi said in confusion.
“ yes.” Odin replied.
“I’M A GOD!?!” I said.
“Yes.” Odin said simply.
“But what god am I?” I asked.
“Well of portals of course.” as if that hadn’t occurred to me because it hadn’t. Now that I thought about it it made more sense. The way when I went in the portal and didn’t come out.” what about Liam.” I said.
“Hela agreed to let him stay at Valhalla.” Odin replied.
“But what do I do now.” I asked.
“Come with me.” Odin said.
“To Asgard?” I said with amazement. He nodded. I couldn’t believe it. I was a god.

A Long Walk To Water-Section 1
For our work today we have to answer these questions.
1. I think that we learn about what language he speaks and when he goes to school I learnt that only the boys go to school which is not the best and that he goes to school at age 11. Salva is in the Dinka tribe and is getting attacked from the rebels.
2. Salva while he is on his walk he is thinking about his family and wondering if they OK and if he was ever going to get to see them again. I think if I was ever in Salva's position I would be thinking the same thing where are my parents will I see them again.
3. Nya has to leave at morning and walks for 8 hours until she reaches the water(which isn't even clean water as well.) She has to carry and jerry can all the way there and their are thorns that she can step on. Then when she gets the water into the jerry can she has to put it on her head where a stand is and she has to carry it all the way home. I think if I was in that position I would get very tired quickly and that it would be awful especially with the thorns. Also if you were to spill the water you would have to walk all the way back to the well to refill the water.
4. One of the things that confirms that it is a certain tribe is that it depends on the kind of colours of paint or markings are on their face. Clothes is also one of them. The languages as well because most tribes speak different languages.
The Quest To Retrieve The Souls
the Quest to Retrieve The Souls
Drew Cootes
Hi my name is Georgia and I am just about to die. you’re probably thinking “So you wrote a whole book about you dying?, wow!” no, just no! You don’t know what I've been through. Just a normal day for me ( well duh of course not. ) I was walking down the street when I heard a snarl from behind me. I turned to find a lion but now my life will get crazier and crazier.
I was walking down the street when I heard a snarl from behind me. I turned to find a lion with long golden mane brown fur stripes down the back but the most beautiful thing about this creature was its eyes they were rainbow almost hypnotise to anything it looked at, but before I could do anything the lion ran away. I ran after the lion chasing it round corners and through alleyways finally the lion came to a stop on a big hill overlooking a small road, three kids were getting beaten up by some robbers. When I saw those robbers I jumped on the lion and the lion raced down towards the robbers. I jumped off my new lion that I found and was about to run at the robbers when the lion said something and I nearly fainted.” stop I can help just don’t charge them.” said the lion.
“And how will you do that. I Answered.
“I can shape shift my name is Tiamoki call me Tia for short.” I thought to myself (My lion is a shape shifting female play cool also DON'T FREAK OUT. )”Ok could you transform for me,” I Asked. Just think of what you want me to be and I will become it if you have the power. I thought of a sword and magically the lion morphed into a sword the blade rainbow glowing with magic with weird symbols. “ lets get em. As I ran at the robbers none of the robbers seemed to have noticed me but when I got close they all turned around and pulled out guns I dodged and slashed I took down two robbers but instead of lying on the ground they crumpled to dust. I was too stunned to react to the last robber but as the robber shot me I stabbed the robber but the damage had already been done. Pain erupted around my thigh. Immediately I knew it was making its way towards my heart. I wanted to just lie there and crumble to dust myself but my day got weirder and weirder and a girl on a horse flew above me the girl held out her hand and I was taken to a place that would make my life weirder more worse and action packed.
I meet my new hall mates
I woke up in the most Amazing apartment ever seen even if I didn’t know where I was or who that girl was, the apartment looked impressive like really impressive. Everything was clean there was a fireplace there was a little patch of grass with loads of branches above it. I felt right at home. Then someone knocked on the door I went to go open it then saw something glittering on the couch next to me it was the sword Tia I’d used to kill the demonic robbers. Before I could go over and see the blade someone knocked on the door again I went to the door and opened it. Standing outside was a boy about around 17-18 years old was. “Hi my name is Conrad Lost.“ That's when James decided to introduce himself. A man immediately materialised next me.”Ahhhhhh.” I nearly hit the ceiling.”Hi,” the man said.
“Ummmm hi?” I replied.”who are you?” I asked.
“James,” he replied. Immediately James ran into my room and went over to where my sword lay.
He turned back into a sword and started talking to her. He was very surprised when Tia talked back.
“Hello, James said.
“Hi,” replied Tia.
“Get out of my Room!” I screamed as James kept trying to talk to Tia.
“Ohhhhh,” James said.
“Get out!” I yelled.
“Fine,” he said with a sigh.
“Okay where were we,” I said to Conrad.
“Ya okay i’ll tell you about my hall mates. Their Grunt Gunder, Aly Feroo, Molly ken, Leanne Irah and me.” he said.”Molly is your Valkyrie who took you here welcome Georgia to floor 400,” Conrad announced.
“WHAT!?”
The thanes decide my fate(pretty badly)
“We’re now going to see how you acted bravely right now.” He said as They started to head towards the hall of the slain to see how worthy I was. I went and sat at the newbies table where Molly was, my Valkyrie. “Hi aren’t you the one who brought me here? I Asked.” Yes I am,“ Answered Molly. well thank you for… GEORGIA!“said a booming voice. “Show us your heroic final battle.” I stood up like how the others had done. The video came up of me charging the robbers with my new sword they saw the whole thing me slicing slashing then dying I don’t know why anyone would think that was heroic. The other Einjeir were silent then they burst into clapping all around me I fell back into my seat silently, a lady from behind a curtain walked up and brought out runes that were on Tia’s and James's blade. She walked up to me and threw the runes into the air instead of one falling the sear talked.” welcome Georgia Queen daughter of Frigg welcome to Valhalla you will be accepted greatly among the thanes you will find the lost souls of Ran and her husband,” then the seer walked away. I stood up” you can’t just go and say that,” I don’t even know who that is.
Everyone was silent and I walked back to the table and started to eat and soon we had gone back to my room I fell into my bed and started to snore.
I woke up to the sound of talking she hopped out of bed and went to check it out. Instead I found James next to Tia.” hey what are you doing JAMES,”.
”Well i’m with Tia of course,”.
” Of course you are.” I said.” Ahhhhhhhh get out of here.”
Conrad lost came into the room.” what’s going on?” he asked.
“Well for one thing your sword has sneaked into my bedroom which is a little bit weird.” I said
“Ohhh so that’s why I couldn’t find him Apologise.”
”Sorry for sneaking into your room without permission and also do I have permission now since I apologised to you.”
“No way hosay you not coming in unless Conrad is here.”
“Fine.’ said.”
They walked out to the morning breakfast table( I was told about this and I can’t wait!). We set down on a table with the others. We dug into the meals and Mmmm.”that’s so yum where did you guys get this?” I asked
We stole it from the cafe we are allowed to only if you manage to survive.” said Grunt Gunder grinning like a madman or a berserker I don’t know.
”Alright we will have breakfast and have a glorious death afterwards.’ said Aly cheerfully.
Suddenly a huge horn sounded.” well that's our cue.’ said Grunt said.
I die really really painfully.
They were heading towards the battlefield when a gust of wind came.”What the…,” I was cut short by the sound of metal coming from the left of us. I turned around just in time to see some armour and a shield coming at full speed. When I thought I was not going to see the daylight ever again the armour and shield stopped right in front of me. It started to connect to her I thought to myself i'm going crazy. I've gone crazy!! She blinked and was in full armour. “Well you’ve suited up,” said Conrad. They walked onto the field and began to plan. They were about to when Aly blurted out.”We kill as much people as we can!” he screamed.
”Here we go again,” said Grunt Gunder with a deep sigh. Don’t worry about him every time we get someone new which never happens he wants to kill everyone which is what he does every day. Suddenly another horn sounded, the one she heard before they came here. Suddenly there was lots of battle cries across the battlefield.”Well since we didn’t get to make a plan I guess we’ll try to kill as much people as we can,” said Grunt cheerfully. I started charging having no idea of what they were doing. The first few people that came Aly shot down with some dangerous looking shurikens and charged someone else with a baton. A enemy ran towards me and tried to use a sword on me, I used my shield which automatically spun and blew the attacker away from me. Him screaming as he fell. Another came and another and another. She started using her sword, she felt behind her legs and found she had daggers there. She pulled them out. Meanwhile her friends were slicing through their enemies, laughing while they decapitated and sliced in half their enemies. I turned to see a enemy coming towards me and ducked as he sliced. She stabbed him in the gut with her dagger. Before he died he laughed “Good one.” Then fell on the ground. Suddenly I screamed in pain. Behind me an enemy that didn’t look like any of the others there stabbed her. I fell to the ground with a thud. Questions crowded my mind who was that? was he supposed to be there? my vision blackened. I woke up in her bed again except it wasn’t. Was it a dream? I sat up to see a woman who was inhumanly beautiful.”Who are you?” I asked. “Oh darling, I've been wanting to talk to you for years,” the god said, I knew she was a god. She had to be.” “And exactly, who are you?” asked Georgia. “Well I'm your mother of course,” said the god, who claimed to be my ma.”So you expect me to think you’re my ma because you said so.” My ‘apparently’ mother chuckled with amusement “you are stubborn like most of my children” she sighed.”Well time for you to go now my dear you waking up soon and I can spend but no more time with you goodbye dear and remember you will succeed with the challenge that awaits you,” she said with a smile.
“What challenge? She asked hazily. Her eyes began to blur then black.
My destiny?
I swung awake. Quickly got dressed and rushed over to Conrad’s bedroom. I knocked on Conrad’s door who opened the door, he looked half-asleep.”What’s up?” He sounded mildly annoyed. I had a dream my mother visited me and said something about a challenge arising.”
”Well first thing we always have weird dreams and second we’ll find out about that soon,” he said.
Suddenly the air in front of them shimmered and a person came into view. Apparently Conrad knew something about this strange looking person in fact the person looked like a kid.”Ben!” Yelled Conrad he seemed relieved to see this stranger.” hello Conrad.” said so called Ben.
” Conrad do you know this person?” I asked .
”Of course he does he’s my big cousin.”said Ben stubbornly.
”Sorry.” said Conrad. ”Ben meet Georgia, Georgia meet Ben, Ben is a mortal who can see through the glamour.”
I was so surprised that I thought I was still in a dream but I knew better but to think was a dream. I’d seen some pretty weird stuff, believe me.
History time
Ok history time. So my father is dead. He was killed. Well I don’t know what to call them, they were like wolfhound things with fangs white as a pearl and a rough grey fur that gleamed in the night sky on the night of the murder.
They attacked while we were out hiking, that was a hobby of ours when suddenly they appeared from behind the bushes they came charging at us from different angles growling selivor frothing out of their mouths and onto the ground. My father grabbed me and told me to run. I Ran and I ran. I glanced behind me to see my father take off his pendant that he had been given by his grandfather. Light filled the street and when she looked again my father and the wolfhounds were gone. After that she had fallen on the pavement and cried, she returned back to their apartment and grabbed supplies, money, food and more clothes.
I flashed back to reality. Conrad and Ben were chatting. Had they noticed yet? I didn’t know. She touched her neck surprised to find her dad’s pendant. With devastating realisation, her dad’s pendant was Tia so her father had sacrificed himself for me? But he never died. It never showed him. Was he alive? Where was he? All these questions swarmed her mind. I noticed Conrad shaking her.”Georgia Georgia you there,” he asked.”Yep yep i'm sorry just daydreaming.” Conrad didn’t look convinced. She tried to put on a brave smile but failed. She had to tell them or she would break down too much.”There’s something I need to tell you about.” They both turned towards her.” well my father died to save me with his pendant but the pendant she pointed to her one this is the his one this is Tia my dad had another one we need to find him we tried to save me he disappeared in golden light so I think he’s been captured and I need your help to find him,” I said breathing heavily. They looked stunned I didn’t know what they were thinking I was hoping they were going to say yes.” Ok do you exactly know where to go?” She asked.” Yes.” said Ben and Conrad in usion. Conrad continued “This will be devastatingly long with hard challenges we’ll need the whole crew for this.”
The journey to cape cod
I realized what they meant we would have to travel to Hel Helas domain, to save my father. Conrad set back to Valhalla to grab the rest of the crew. Conrad stopped in his tracks he turned towards me.”I'm not sure I can go me and my team have little issue with Hela so I doubt we’d be able to go.” I dropped my head it would’ve been good to have a good team come along.” well you can set off after dinner.”
”Do I even have permission? And also I need at least two or more people to come along too.”
For the last time Conrad turned.”Well maybe there’ll be someone that dies and comes here maybe that will be them.”
She turned and jumped, Ben was still standing there then quickly disappeared. She sighed and went back to her apartment. They were feasting while the newbies came. But two kids caught her eyes they were exactly identical with eyes blue and on the other side green with matching skirts and matching everything I guess. But something seemed odd about them, when they stood up to get claimed the seer looked completely confused she said”Welcome to Valhalla daughters of Athena.”
Conrad looked bewildered. He stood up and went towards me why? I have no idea.”You need these girls they may be able to help I can’t explain yet but I will.”
He rushed off to them he quickly grabbed them pulled them round the corner of the stage and had a quick conversation with them. What was happening? have I gone insane? Yup I’d gone insane she ran out back to her room reluctantly I checked my room again James was back again trying to get Tia.“What are you doing stop coming into my bedroom”. “We are going to have some rules around this you keep coming in without permission.”
“Fine, I’ll go.” James turned round to Tia. It looked like he tried to wink at her. OK I’M GOING CRAZY! She jumped into her bed exhausted and slept like a rock.( I said this because if you said you slept like a baby it’s just weird.) surprisingly I woke up refreshed and not tired anymore. For once James wasn’t in the room and Tia wasn’t giving him the cold shoulder. I didn’t know if Tia had anything for James. wait why am I talking to myself about two swords liking each other I did not know.( I tried to keep herself together it was hard when James was trying to flirt with Tia.( yup i’m officially a VIP very insane person.)
I turned back towards her doorway to see the twins I’d seen at dinner, what were they doing here? Conrad appeared next to them with his face grim. “You say you needed two more to go with you well here you go.”
They set out on their adventure after a long long boring negotiation with the Valhalla director whoever he was.
They had no idea on where they were going.”Um,” one of the twins, Rachel turned. “Do we even know what we’re doing? Like we set out, but do we have dire…” something stopped her. A bright light appeared.”Well maybe we should just follow that,” she pointed at the light even though we could already see it.
“So you guys are Greek?”
“Yup daughters of Athena which means we are good at plans and pranks.” Scarlet got a little carried away saying so much stuff. The Angel what I thought it was( definitely not!) was starting to float away.
They chased after it running round tons of streets they started to head out of boston but I was starting to get tired. When I thought I would breakdown the glowing Angel stopped in front of a giant old house they were stepping towards it slowly but the Angel motioned for them to stop.” hello,” the voice seemed to be coming from all directions but seemed to be connected to the one Angel.”I’m your guide that was sent here to get you.” there is a slight problem.” They both looked at the strange Angel I was now regretting calling it a Angel.”So one question what exactly is the problem?” I asked.
“Ran the sea goddess has captured some of my kind my master said you could help daughter of Frigg.”
“Well that is kinda true.” I replied. “A seer said I would be the one who would retrieve the souls,” I said
”Ahh yes that must mean why my master sent me here to grab you.” it said
The Angel spread his arms to the old rundown house, nothing happened. But then a veil of magic appeared when the veil stopped spinning there was a warship bigger than a normal one story home with rows of perfect rigging and mast as tall as trees. Scarlet whistled.”That is one spanking hot war machine.”
We climbed up and walked through the whole ship.
It was amazing that it was in perfect condition. There was three bedrooms just for us the Angel thing told us that the rooms fitted just for how many people were needed.
Down at the very back was the toilets and a very small room. The Angel said That he would be fine but it wasn’t very reassuring but whatever the Angel said. They went up to have lunch it was delicious with roast lamb and peas. Scarlet licked her plate while Rachel told her off.
I heard the boat starting to lift off the ground I wondered where they were going back to Boston? They started to head back towards Boston. They were drifting along when a large scraping filled the dining room I grabbed for my necklace when three demon looking things appeared on the ship. Rachel and Scarlet cursed. They both had knives that they pulled from belts that they had. They ran towards the demons and only then did she realize ( hey shouldn’t I help them?) she charged the demons too they slashing them to bits until there was nothing left but a few hair bits were all puffing.”Hey um do we keep needing to defend the ship on the way there,“Asked Scarlet . Yes. said Rachel me and the Angel in sync.
They were making their way when yet another attack happened.”Well that was perfectly done,”said Rachel sighing. They went out to meet the enemies.
After a long day of fighting monsters they stopped down to have a rest so that no monsters would know where they were. They all went to sleep but in mid sleep she had a nightmare it was about a man wrapped in shadows with a helmet on his head. The man was urging me to follow but black mist was covering my eyes by the second. I didn’t know what was going on but soon she was wide awake shivering and shaking. At first I thought I was hallucinating but I knew I wasn’t. In front of me was the helmet from my dreams she nearly fainted, she seemed drawn too it as if it can take my soul. She walked up to it. She reached out and as soon as she touched it I immediately collapsed. I gasped awake the twins surrounded her the Angel looked down on me with concern.”Are you ok?’ Rachel looked shocked Scarlet looked confused. She knew the helmet was on her head she tried to take it off it didn’t budge instead it turned into some boots they strangely looked like hover boots. She jumped and started to hover, she was amazed. She had always wanted to fly but had never got the chance she hadn’t even had gone on a plane yet. The others overcame their shock and I could see they were jealous. Scarlet stood from where she had been crouching.”Why do you get the awesome hover boots that change into a mystical helmet?”
“Hey, I never asked for it” I replied. She touched what looked like a button and the boots turned back to a helmet she reached out to grab something and almost immediately black mist shot out and grabbed her a drink. I was so shocked she fainted. I woke up once again mythed. I looked around to see I was in the infirmary room with one of the twins, Rachel. When she saw me she walked over.”We need to talk about this helmet of yours.”
I touched my hover boots and in a few seconds a black mist veil expanded until a big helmet covered me. She flicked her dagger at me, I thought she was crazy but she must’ve known what she was doing because a black shield materialised in front of me. Was the same shield that I had used at Valhalla immediately Rachel started to toss loads of daggers at me the shield started to fly deflected all but one it spiralled towards me but black mist covered me and I heard a big clang I opened my eyes to see a bent dagger on the ground I looked at Rachel like she was a mad girl because pft right now that name seemed to fit her perfectly.”Are you mad!” Even if I wasn’t scratched I still was shocked that Rachel would even do that to me.” No and I did warn you I would test its power but it seemed to withstand my daggers,” she said.
“Um how are you so calm about all of this you just died and you don’t seem to be fazed by it,” I said.
“I’m a daughter of Athena you know I know how to keep my cool and handle all this,” she said.
“Ok but yeah but like how do you take a potion or what it’s confusing to me. Well maybe I've had more experience with stuff like this. I didn’t want to press her more but I was suspecting this is normal to her and maybe she’s been attacked more than once. I didn’t ponder the thought I walked down to where my room was. Inside was a room I had always wanted when I was with my dad it brought back good but sad memories of them doing blueprints and playing together. I jumped on to the sheets of the covers I pressed the covers to her nose just the smell I wanted it. It smelled of roses and my dads office. I tried not to cry I still missed my dad when he disappeared in a flash, I had thought about it. My shield now lay on my bed I grabbed it and it immediately turned into a computer I flicked through the stuff that was on the computer's hard drive. I was surprised to see my dad and my photos together. I tried not to cry I couldn’t hold it in I layed on the bed shaking a little. A bright light filled the room filling it with spectral colors through it. She looked at it. What was this, a face appeared on the light I fell off my bed. It was the creepiest lady she had ever seen half her body was normal and beautiful but the other looked like a zombie. She spoke in a raspy voice that sounded like metal scraping against concrete.” you're timeline is limited you're father weakens in my realm come find him or he will die! I fell back as the spectral light that had filled the room disappeared.
I fell down and cried why was this happening to me, now I had a deadline to save my father from death from a crazy goddess named Hela goddess of hell.
The others came in to see me break down and they rushed over to me asking what had happened I explained what had happened the more I explained the more devastated their faces looked like.
Scarlet rushed over to me a hugged me I was pretty surprised to be honest she normally joked around and was crazy but she seemed very serious right now.
“Wow that was emotional.” said a woman in elegant dress with stormy eyes with shield had the ugliest image on it. I knelt the rest followed I didn’t know who this lady was but she definitely was a goddess.” MOM!?” both of the twins stood who looked stunned but mildly annoyed as if a goddess was no big deal.
“Athena?” I stood. The goddess nodded she bent down.”Why are you here?” asked Rachel suspiciously.
”Why else do you think i’m here, to celebrate?” she said
I moved back she was frightening glowing with an aura so strong I had the urge to curl into a ball and cry.”And what exactly are you doing to help us,” Rachel asked as if it could kill us in an instant.”Well you obviously need our help.”
“Not really.” Rachel
“your next journey will be hard but other gods will aid you and I wish you luck.” “Now close your eyes young ones before I show my true form.” she said sternly
From the tone of her voice I did not want to see her true form.
UH OH
In a flash she was gone but the side effects still stayed I could see dots everywhere splotches of yellow. We all fell to the ground with a thud apart from the Angel who I had forgot who was even there.”That was interesting.”said the Angel.
“ you call that interesting?” Rachel said
“ well maybe if we could get out because i'm pretty sure where here.” all of us left to hop out but but the Angel stayed aboard which I thought was pretty suspicious.” Now what do we do.” Scarlet said
“I don’t know i’m not the genius here” I said. Suddenly, a huge wave erupted from the sea and engulfed us all we all screamed.
“Not COOL!” Scarlet said as we shot towards where the wave had come from. When she wasn’t blacking out she found she was in an underwater house with the carpet as kelp. A big diner table loomed above us with a giant pot the size of a medium sized volcano. A giant appeared, the giant was wearing a apron and had the hair of Elvis sticking up in the weirdest places.”WHO DEAR INTERRUPTS MY MICRO BREWING. Nine other smaller giants appeared all of them licking their lips. Something glowed above and Georgia gasped. Above them were what they had been looking for the souls it was like they were in one big chandelier prison. Giants followed her gaze.” are yes our prized possessions apart from my micro brewing. All of the giantess sighed as if this conversation continued every day.”Father what are we going to do with this scum.” asked one of the sisters.
“ I do not know.” I realized this was Aegir old sea god. We bowed with respect, hey I didn’t know what to do it seemed right to do at the time. I was definitely wrong.
They all frowned.”Do we kill them?” asked one of them.
“They do look tasty.”
“Wait don’t kill us we were just wanting to eat and umm.”
The giants all stared at us.
“ about... .”
“ Mead.” asked Aegir.
“Yes! Mead.” answered all of us desperately
“Mmm interesting.” not all of the people that get trapped here are interested in talking about mead.” apart from that upstart Magnus Chase.
“ What did he do sir.” I asked nervously.
“ Oh he threatened my wife escaped from our home. One of the giantess snickered.
“ One because you let them and two that old Norse baggage saved them.
“Now now.” said a man behind them. All three of us jumped, I whirled round to see who the strange god who had just appeared.
All the giantess hissed at the god that had appeared.”You are not welcome here get out!” but the Norse god just kept coming forward. He nodded to me as if he understood what we needed to do.
We huddled to the corner and told them the game plan.” ok while he’s distracting him we grab the souls and go but its not going to be easy. We headed towards the table as the weird god kept talking to the giants.
We got to the bottom of the table and started to climb the chair. Soon they were at the top of the table, the spoon lay ahead of them at the end of the table. They ran towards it but we were so small it was taking so long. We’re not getting anywhere. And that god can’t keep them occupied for long.
She was right the giants were starting to get agitated. Suddenly my shield came out and turned over. I remembered how I could use my hover boots.” You two hop on we’re going for a ride.
They both jumped on I stayed and got my hover boots on. They whirled to life. I propelled into the air. As I soared towards the chandelier she could see one good thing and one bad thing. The good news the twins had made it to the spoon. The bad news was that the giants were past the god. They were screaming a bloodthirsty cry as they ran at us.
I made it to the chandelier but I didn’t know what to do. Her hover boots turned back to her bracelet and she got out her sword without thinking I cut through the chandelier and was thrown free. I landed as I felt my bones crack. I stared up at the faces of her friends yelling but their voices was only static. She could make out that they were telling her I was stupid for going there alone.
I looked up again to see the angels floating away and the sound of the enraged giants as they ran towards us.
I blacked out. And you would think I was dead, obviously not I woke up in a dream with a woman in front of me. I knelt before my mum. She smiled” stand my daughter.
“Am I dead .” because I didn’t feel dead.
“No young one but you pushed yourself too hard to free those angels.” she said with pride.
I blushed.
“What do I do now,” I asked.
“Oh darling you know very much of what you need to do now,” she said.
I realised that now that I had carried out her quest I needed to do something else something that was way more dangerous than freeing souls that hung in an chandelier. We’re going to hell…
Have A Sneak Peak Of What Georgia And The voyage to Hell is going to look like!
I realised that now that I had carried out my quest and I needed to do something else something that was way more dangerous than freeing souls that hung in an chandelier. We’re going to hell…
I woke up shivering in her ship. Her friends at the front of the boat.” Arghhhh.” her friends turned to see me they rushed forward to give me a hug, the angel sat in the background with his angel family we were all very happy. The angel nodded to me and they all disappeared into vapour. I wondered who they really were.
I turned my attention back to my friends they were hugging me and asking what happened because they thought I was dead. I told them about my dream and what had happened.
“ well then.” said Rachel, “we have work to do…”

Drew Cootes
Hi my name is Georgia and I am just about to die. you’re probably thinking “So you wrote a whole book about you dying?, wow!” no, just no! You don’t know what I've been through. Just a normal day for me ( well duh of course not. ) I was walking down the street when I heard a snarl from behind me. I turned to find a lion but now my life will get crazier and crazier.
I was walking down the street when I heard a snarl from behind me. I turned to find a lion with long golden mane brown fur stripes down the back but the most beautiful thing about this creature was its eyes they were rainbow almost hypnotise to anything it looked at, but before I could do anything the lion ran away. I ran after the lion chasing it round corners and through alleyways finally the lion came to a stop on a big hill overlooking a small road, three kids were getting beaten up by some robbers. When I saw those robbers I jumped on the lion and the lion raced down towards the robbers. I jumped off my new lion that I found and was about to run at the robbers when the lion said something and I nearly fainted.” stop I can help just don’t charge them.” said the lion.
“And how will you do that. I Answered.
“I can shape shift my name is Tiamoki call me Tia for short.” I thought to myself (My lion is a shape shifting female play cool also DON'T FREAK OUT. )”Ok could you transform for me,” I Asked. Just think of what you want me to be and I will become it if you have the power. I thought of a sword and magically the lion morphed into a sword the blade rainbow glowing with magic with weird symbols. “ lets get em. As I ran at the robbers none of the robbers seemed to have noticed me but when I got close they all turned around and pulled out guns I dodged and slashed I took down two robbers but instead of lying on the ground they crumpled to dust. I was too stunned to react to the last robber but as the robber shot me I stabbed the robber but the damage had already been done. Pain erupted around my thigh. Immediately I knew it was making its way towards my heart. I wanted to just lie there and crumble to dust myself but my day got weirder and weirder and a girl on a horse flew above me the girl held out her hand and I was taken to a place that would make my life weirder more worse and action packed.
I meet my new hall mates
I woke up in the most Amazing apartment ever seen even if I didn’t know where I was or who that girl was, the apartment looked impressive like really impressive. Everything was clean there was a fireplace there was a little patch of grass with loads of branches above it. I felt right at home. Then someone knocked on the door I went to go open it then saw something glittering on the couch next to me it was the sword Tia I’d used to kill the demonic robbers. Before I could go over and see the blade someone knocked on the door again I went to the door and opened it. Standing outside was a boy about around 17-18 years old was. “Hi my name is Conrad Lost.“ That's when James decided to introduce himself. A man immediately materialised next me.”Ahhhhhh.” I nearly hit the ceiling.”Hi,” the man said.
“Ummmm hi?” I replied.”who are you?” I asked.
“James,” he replied. Immediately James ran into my room and went over to where my sword lay.
He turned back into a sword and started talking to her. He was very surprised when Tia talked back.
“Hello, James said.
“Hi,” replied Tia.
“Get out of my Room!” I screamed as James kept trying to talk to Tia.
“Ohhhhh,” James said.
“Get out!” I yelled.
“Fine,” he said with a sigh.
“Okay where were we,” I said to Conrad.
“Ya okay i’ll tell you about my hall mates. Their Grunt Gunder, Aly Feroo, Molly ken, Leanne Irah and me.” he said.”Molly is your Valkyrie who took you here welcome Georgia to floor 400,” Conrad announced.
“WHAT!?”
The thanes decide my fate(pretty badly)
“We’re now going to see how you acted bravely right now.” He said as They started to head towards the hall of the slain to see how worthy I was. I went and sat at the newbies table where Molly was, my Valkyrie. “Hi aren’t you the one who brought me here? I Asked.” Yes I am,“ Answered Molly. well thank you for… GEORGIA!“said a booming voice. “Show us your heroic final battle.” I stood up like how the others had done. The video came up of me charging the robbers with my new sword they saw the whole thing me slicing slashing then dying I don’t know why anyone would think that was heroic. The other Einjeir were silent then they burst into clapping all around me I fell back into my seat silently, a lady from behind a curtain walked up and brought out runes that were on Tia’s and James's blade. She walked up to me and threw the runes into the air instead of one falling the sear talked.” welcome Georgia Queen daughter of Frigg welcome to Valhalla you will be accepted greatly among the thanes you will find the lost souls of Ran and her husband,” then the seer walked away. I stood up” you can’t just go and say that,” I don’t even know who that is.
Everyone was silent and I walked back to the table and started to eat and soon we had gone back to my room I fell into my bed and started to snore.
I woke up to the sound of talking she hopped out of bed and went to check it out. Instead I found James next to Tia.” hey what are you doing JAMES,”.
”Well i’m with Tia of course,”.
” Of course you are.” I said.” Ahhhhhhhh get out of here.”
Conrad lost came into the room.” what’s going on?” he asked.
“Well for one thing your sword has sneaked into my bedroom which is a little bit weird.” I said
“Ohhh so that’s why I couldn’t find him Apologise.”
”Sorry for sneaking into your room without permission and also do I have permission now since I apologised to you.”
“No way hosay you not coming in unless Conrad is here.”
“Fine.’ said.”
They walked out to the morning breakfast table( I was told about this and I can’t wait!). We set down on a table with the others. We dug into the meals and Mmmm.”that’s so yum where did you guys get this?” I asked
We stole it from the cafe we are allowed to only if you manage to survive.” said Grunt Gunder grinning like a madman or a berserker I don’t know.
”Alright we will have breakfast and have a glorious death afterwards.’ said Aly cheerfully.
Suddenly a huge horn sounded.” well that's our cue.’ said Grunt said.
I die really really painfully.
They were heading towards the battlefield when a gust of wind came.”What the…,” I was cut short by the sound of metal coming from the left of us. I turned around just in time to see some armour and a shield coming at full speed. When I thought I was not going to see the daylight ever again the armour and shield stopped right in front of me. It started to connect to her I thought to myself i'm going crazy. I've gone crazy!! She blinked and was in full armour. “Well you’ve suited up,” said Conrad. They walked onto the field and began to plan. They were about to when Aly blurted out.”We kill as much people as we can!” he screamed.
”Here we go again,” said Grunt Gunder with a deep sigh. Don’t worry about him every time we get someone new which never happens he wants to kill everyone which is what he does every day. Suddenly another horn sounded, the one she heard before they came here. Suddenly there was lots of battle cries across the battlefield.”Well since we didn’t get to make a plan I guess we’ll try to kill as much people as we can,” said Grunt cheerfully. I started charging having no idea of what they were doing. The first few people that came Aly shot down with some dangerous looking shurikens and charged someone else with a baton. A enemy ran towards me and tried to use a sword on me, I used my shield which automatically spun and blew the attacker away from me. Him screaming as he fell. Another came and another and another. She started using her sword, she felt behind her legs and found she had daggers there. She pulled them out. Meanwhile her friends were slicing through their enemies, laughing while they decapitated and sliced in half their enemies. I turned to see a enemy coming towards me and ducked as he sliced. She stabbed him in the gut with her dagger. Before he died he laughed “Good one.” Then fell on the ground. Suddenly I screamed in pain. Behind me an enemy that didn’t look like any of the others there stabbed her. I fell to the ground with a thud. Questions crowded my mind who was that? was he supposed to be there? my vision blackened. I woke up in her bed again except it wasn’t. Was it a dream? I sat up to see a woman who was inhumanly beautiful.”Who are you?” I asked. “Oh darling, I've been wanting to talk to you for years,” the god said, I knew she was a god. She had to be.” “And exactly, who are you?” asked Georgia. “Well I'm your mother of course,” said the god, who claimed to be my ma.”So you expect me to think you’re my ma because you said so.” My ‘apparently’ mother chuckled with amusement “you are stubborn like most of my children” she sighed.”Well time for you to go now my dear you waking up soon and I can spend but no more time with you goodbye dear and remember you will succeed with the challenge that awaits you,” she said with a smile.
“What challenge? She asked hazily. Her eyes began to blur then black.
My destiny?
I swung awake. Quickly got dressed and rushed over to Conrad’s bedroom. I knocked on Conrad’s door who opened the door, he looked half-asleep.”What’s up?” He sounded mildly annoyed. I had a dream my mother visited me and said something about a challenge arising.”
”Well first thing we always have weird dreams and second we’ll find out about that soon,” he said.
Suddenly the air in front of them shimmered and a person came into view. Apparently Conrad knew something about this strange looking person in fact the person looked like a kid.”Ben!” Yelled Conrad he seemed relieved to see this stranger.” hello Conrad.” said so called Ben.
” Conrad do you know this person?” I asked .
”Of course he does he’s my big cousin.”said Ben stubbornly.
”Sorry.” said Conrad. ”Ben meet Georgia, Georgia meet Ben, Ben is a mortal who can see through the glamour.”
I was so surprised that I thought I was still in a dream but I knew better but to think was a dream. I’d seen some pretty weird stuff, believe me.
History time
Ok history time. So my father is dead. He was killed. Well I don’t know what to call them, they were like wolfhound things with fangs white as a pearl and a rough grey fur that gleamed in the night sky on the night of the murder.
They attacked while we were out hiking, that was a hobby of ours when suddenly they appeared from behind the bushes they came charging at us from different angles growling selivor frothing out of their mouths and onto the ground. My father grabbed me and told me to run. I Ran and I ran. I glanced behind me to see my father take off his pendant that he had been given by his grandfather. Light filled the street and when she looked again my father and the wolfhounds were gone. After that she had fallen on the pavement and cried, she returned back to their apartment and grabbed supplies, money, food and more clothes.
I flashed back to reality. Conrad and Ben were chatting. Had they noticed yet? I didn’t know. She touched her neck surprised to find her dad’s pendant. With devastating realisation, her dad’s pendant was Tia so her father had sacrificed himself for me? But he never died. It never showed him. Was he alive? Where was he? All these questions swarmed her mind. I noticed Conrad shaking her.”Georgia Georgia you there,” he asked.”Yep yep i'm sorry just daydreaming.” Conrad didn’t look convinced. She tried to put on a brave smile but failed. She had to tell them or she would break down too much.”There’s something I need to tell you about.” They both turned towards her.” well my father died to save me with his pendant but the pendant she pointed to her one this is the his one this is Tia my dad had another one we need to find him we tried to save me he disappeared in golden light so I think he’s been captured and I need your help to find him,” I said breathing heavily. They looked stunned I didn’t know what they were thinking I was hoping they were going to say yes.” Ok do you exactly know where to go?” She asked.” Yes.” said Ben and Conrad in usion. Conrad continued “This will be devastatingly long with hard challenges we’ll need the whole crew for this.”
The journey to cape cod
I realized what they meant we would have to travel to Hel Helas domain, to save my father. Conrad set back to Valhalla to grab the rest of the crew. Conrad stopped in his tracks he turned towards me.”I'm not sure I can go me and my team have little issue with Hela so I doubt we’d be able to go.” I dropped my head it would’ve been good to have a good team come along.” well you can set off after dinner.”
”Do I even have permission? And also I need at least two or more people to come along too.”
For the last time Conrad turned.”Well maybe there’ll be someone that dies and comes here maybe that will be them.”
She turned and jumped, Ben was still standing there then quickly disappeared. She sighed and went back to her apartment. They were feasting while the newbies came. But two kids caught her eyes they were exactly identical with eyes blue and on the other side green with matching skirts and matching everything I guess. But something seemed odd about them, when they stood up to get claimed the seer looked completely confused she said”Welcome to Valhalla daughters of Athena.”
Conrad looked bewildered. He stood up and went towards me why? I have no idea.”You need these girls they may be able to help I can’t explain yet but I will.”
He rushed off to them he quickly grabbed them pulled them round the corner of the stage and had a quick conversation with them. What was happening? have I gone insane? Yup I’d gone insane she ran out back to her room reluctantly I checked my room again James was back again trying to get Tia.“What are you doing stop coming into my bedroom”. “We are going to have some rules around this you keep coming in without permission.”
“Fine, I’ll go.” James turned round to Tia. It looked like he tried to wink at her. OK I’M GOING CRAZY! She jumped into her bed exhausted and slept like a rock.( I said this because if you said you slept like a baby it’s just weird.) surprisingly I woke up refreshed and not tired anymore. For once James wasn’t in the room and Tia wasn’t giving him the cold shoulder. I didn’t know if Tia had anything for James. wait why am I talking to myself about two swords liking each other I did not know.( I tried to keep herself together it was hard when James was trying to flirt with Tia.( yup i’m officially a VIP very insane person.)
I turned back towards her doorway to see the twins I’d seen at dinner, what were they doing here? Conrad appeared next to them with his face grim. “You say you needed two more to go with you well here you go.”
They set out on their adventure after a long long boring negotiation with the Valhalla director whoever he was.
They had no idea on where they were going.”Um,” one of the twins, Rachel turned. “Do we even know what we’re doing? Like we set out, but do we have dire…” something stopped her. A bright light appeared.”Well maybe we should just follow that,” she pointed at the light even though we could already see it.
“So you guys are Greek?”
“Yup daughters of Athena which means we are good at plans and pranks.” Scarlet got a little carried away saying so much stuff. The Angel what I thought it was( definitely not!) was starting to float away.
They chased after it running round tons of streets they started to head out of boston but I was starting to get tired. When I thought I would breakdown the glowing Angel stopped in front of a giant old house they were stepping towards it slowly but the Angel motioned for them to stop.” hello,” the voice seemed to be coming from all directions but seemed to be connected to the one Angel.”I’m your guide that was sent here to get you.” there is a slight problem.” They both looked at the strange Angel I was now regretting calling it a Angel.”So one question what exactly is the problem?” I asked.
“Ran the sea goddess has captured some of my kind my master said you could help daughter of Frigg.”
“Well that is kinda true.” I replied. “A seer said I would be the one who would retrieve the souls,” I said
”Ahh yes that must mean why my master sent me here to grab you.” it said
The Angel spread his arms to the old rundown house, nothing happened. But then a veil of magic appeared when the veil stopped spinning there was a warship bigger than a normal one story home with rows of perfect rigging and mast as tall as trees. Scarlet whistled.”That is one spanking hot war machine.”
We climbed up and walked through the whole ship.
It was amazing that it was in perfect condition. There was three bedrooms just for us the Angel thing told us that the rooms fitted just for how many people were needed.
Down at the very back was the toilets and a very small room. The Angel said That he would be fine but it wasn’t very reassuring but whatever the Angel said. They went up to have lunch it was delicious with roast lamb and peas. Scarlet licked her plate while Rachel told her off.
I heard the boat starting to lift off the ground I wondered where they were going back to Boston? They started to head back towards Boston. They were drifting along when a large scraping filled the dining room I grabbed for my necklace when three demon looking things appeared on the ship. Rachel and Scarlet cursed. They both had knives that they pulled from belts that they had. They ran towards the demons and only then did she realize ( hey shouldn’t I help them?) she charged the demons too they slashing them to bits until there was nothing left but a few hair bits were all puffing.”Hey um do we keep needing to defend the ship on the way there,“Asked Scarlet . Yes. said Rachel me and the Angel in sync.
They were making their way when yet another attack happened.”Well that was perfectly done,”said Rachel sighing. They went out to meet the enemies.
After a long day of fighting monsters they stopped down to have a rest so that no monsters would know where they were. They all went to sleep but in mid sleep she had a nightmare it was about a man wrapped in shadows with a helmet on his head. The man was urging me to follow but black mist was covering my eyes by the second. I didn’t know what was going on but soon she was wide awake shivering and shaking. At first I thought I was hallucinating but I knew I wasn’t. In front of me was the helmet from my dreams she nearly fainted, she seemed drawn too it as if it can take my soul. She walked up to it. She reached out and as soon as she touched it I immediately collapsed. I gasped awake the twins surrounded her the Angel looked down on me with concern.”Are you ok?’ Rachel looked shocked Scarlet looked confused. She knew the helmet was on her head she tried to take it off it didn’t budge instead it turned into some boots they strangely looked like hover boots. She jumped and started to hover, she was amazed. She had always wanted to fly but had never got the chance she hadn’t even had gone on a plane yet. The others overcame their shock and I could see they were jealous. Scarlet stood from where she had been crouching.”Why do you get the awesome hover boots that change into a mystical helmet?”
“Hey, I never asked for it” I replied. She touched what looked like a button and the boots turned back to a helmet she reached out to grab something and almost immediately black mist shot out and grabbed her a drink. I was so shocked she fainted. I woke up once again mythed. I looked around to see I was in the infirmary room with one of the twins, Rachel. When she saw me she walked over.”We need to talk about this helmet of yours.”
I touched my hover boots and in a few seconds a black mist veil expanded until a big helmet covered me. She flicked her dagger at me, I thought she was crazy but she must’ve known what she was doing because a black shield materialised in front of me. Was the same shield that I had used at Valhalla immediately Rachel started to toss loads of daggers at me the shield started to fly deflected all but one it spiralled towards me but black mist covered me and I heard a big clang I opened my eyes to see a bent dagger on the ground I looked at Rachel like she was a mad girl because pft right now that name seemed to fit her perfectly.”Are you mad!” Even if I wasn’t scratched I still was shocked that Rachel would even do that to me.” No and I did warn you I would test its power but it seemed to withstand my daggers,” she said.
“Um how are you so calm about all of this you just died and you don’t seem to be fazed by it,” I said.
“I’m a daughter of Athena you know I know how to keep my cool and handle all this,” she said.
“Ok but yeah but like how do you take a potion or what it’s confusing to me. Well maybe I've had more experience with stuff like this. I didn’t want to press her more but I was suspecting this is normal to her and maybe she’s been attacked more than once. I didn’t ponder the thought I walked down to where my room was. Inside was a room I had always wanted when I was with my dad it brought back good but sad memories of them doing blueprints and playing together. I jumped on to the sheets of the covers I pressed the covers to her nose just the smell I wanted it. It smelled of roses and my dads office. I tried not to cry I still missed my dad when he disappeared in a flash, I had thought about it. My shield now lay on my bed I grabbed it and it immediately turned into a computer I flicked through the stuff that was on the computer's hard drive. I was surprised to see my dad and my photos together. I tried not to cry I couldn’t hold it in I layed on the bed shaking a little. A bright light filled the room filling it with spectral colors through it. She looked at it. What was this, a face appeared on the light I fell off my bed. It was the creepiest lady she had ever seen half her body was normal and beautiful but the other looked like a zombie. She spoke in a raspy voice that sounded like metal scraping against concrete.” you're timeline is limited you're father weakens in my realm come find him or he will die! I fell back as the spectral light that had filled the room disappeared.
I fell down and cried why was this happening to me, now I had a deadline to save my father from death from a crazy goddess named Hela goddess of hell.
The others came in to see me break down and they rushed over to me asking what had happened I explained what had happened the more I explained the more devastated their faces looked like.
Scarlet rushed over to me a hugged me I was pretty surprised to be honest she normally joked around and was crazy but she seemed very serious right now.
“Wow that was emotional.” said a woman in elegant dress with stormy eyes with shield had the ugliest image on it. I knelt the rest followed I didn’t know who this lady was but she definitely was a goddess.” MOM!?” both of the twins stood who looked stunned but mildly annoyed as if a goddess was no big deal.
“Athena?” I stood. The goddess nodded she bent down.”Why are you here?” asked Rachel suspiciously.
”Why else do you think i’m here, to celebrate?” she said
I moved back she was frightening glowing with an aura so strong I had the urge to curl into a ball and cry.”And what exactly are you doing to help us,” Rachel asked as if it could kill us in an instant.”Well you obviously need our help.”
“Not really.” Rachel
“your next journey will be hard but other gods will aid you and I wish you luck.” “Now close your eyes young ones before I show my true form.” she said sternly
From the tone of her voice I did not want to see her true form.
UH OH
In a flash she was gone but the side effects still stayed I could see dots everywhere splotches of yellow. We all fell to the ground with a thud apart from the Angel who I had forgot who was even there.”That was interesting.”said the Angel.
“ you call that interesting?” Rachel said
“ well maybe if we could get out because i'm pretty sure where here.” all of us left to hop out but but the Angel stayed aboard which I thought was pretty suspicious.” Now what do we do.” Scarlet said
“I don’t know i’m not the genius here” I said. Suddenly, a huge wave erupted from the sea and engulfed us all we all screamed.
“Not COOL!” Scarlet said as we shot towards where the wave had come from. When she wasn’t blacking out she found she was in an underwater house with the carpet as kelp. A big diner table loomed above us with a giant pot the size of a medium sized volcano. A giant appeared, the giant was wearing a apron and had the hair of Elvis sticking up in the weirdest places.”WHO DEAR INTERRUPTS MY MICRO BREWING. Nine other smaller giants appeared all of them licking their lips. Something glowed above and Georgia gasped. Above them were what they had been looking for the souls it was like they were in one big chandelier prison. Giants followed her gaze.” are yes our prized possessions apart from my micro brewing. All of the giantess sighed as if this conversation continued every day.”Father what are we going to do with this scum.” asked one of the sisters.
“ I do not know.” I realized this was Aegir old sea god. We bowed with respect, hey I didn’t know what to do it seemed right to do at the time. I was definitely wrong.
They all frowned.”Do we kill them?” asked one of them.
“They do look tasty.”
“Wait don’t kill us we were just wanting to eat and umm.”
The giants all stared at us.
“ about... .”
“ Mead.” asked Aegir.
“Yes! Mead.” answered all of us desperately
“Mmm interesting.” not all of the people that get trapped here are interested in talking about mead.” apart from that upstart Magnus Chase.
“ What did he do sir.” I asked nervously.
“ Oh he threatened my wife escaped from our home. One of the giantess snickered.
“ One because you let them and two that old Norse baggage saved them.
“Now now.” said a man behind them. All three of us jumped, I whirled round to see who the strange god who had just appeared.
All the giantess hissed at the god that had appeared.”You are not welcome here get out!” but the Norse god just kept coming forward. He nodded to me as if he understood what we needed to do.
We huddled to the corner and told them the game plan.” ok while he’s distracting him we grab the souls and go but its not going to be easy. We headed towards the table as the weird god kept talking to the giants.
We got to the bottom of the table and started to climb the chair. Soon they were at the top of the table, the spoon lay ahead of them at the end of the table. They ran towards it but we were so small it was taking so long. We’re not getting anywhere. And that god can’t keep them occupied for long.
She was right the giants were starting to get agitated. Suddenly my shield came out and turned over. I remembered how I could use my hover boots.” You two hop on we’re going for a ride.
They both jumped on I stayed and got my hover boots on. They whirled to life. I propelled into the air. As I soared towards the chandelier she could see one good thing and one bad thing. The good news the twins had made it to the spoon. The bad news was that the giants were past the god. They were screaming a bloodthirsty cry as they ran at us.
I made it to the chandelier but I didn’t know what to do. Her hover boots turned back to her bracelet and she got out her sword without thinking I cut through the chandelier and was thrown free. I landed as I felt my bones crack. I stared up at the faces of her friends yelling but their voices was only static. She could make out that they were telling her I was stupid for going there alone.
I looked up again to see the angels floating away and the sound of the enraged giants as they ran towards us.
I blacked out. And you would think I was dead, obviously not I woke up in a dream with a woman in front of me. I knelt before my mum. She smiled” stand my daughter.
“Am I dead .” because I didn’t feel dead.
“No young one but you pushed yourself too hard to free those angels.” she said with pride.
I blushed.
“What do I do now,” I asked.
“Oh darling you know very much of what you need to do now,” she said.
I realised that now that I had carried out her quest I needed to do something else something that was way more dangerous than freeing souls that hung in an chandelier. We’re going to hell…
Have A Sneak Peak Of What Georgia And The voyage to Hell is going to look like!
I realised that now that I had carried out my quest and I needed to do something else something that was way more dangerous than freeing souls that hung in an chandelier. We’re going to hell…
I woke up shivering in her ship. Her friends at the front of the boat.” Arghhhh.” her friends turned to see me they rushed forward to give me a hug, the angel sat in the background with his angel family we were all very happy. The angel nodded to me and they all disappeared into vapour. I wondered who they really were.
I turned my attention back to my friends they were hugging me and asking what happened because they thought I was dead. I told them about my dream and what had happened.
“ well then.” said Rachel, “we have work to do…”

A Long Walk To Water
Throughout the week we learnt about the importance of people in poverty and what it is like for them and how we can help them. There was two characters Nya which was a girl who lived far away from water and had to go get water everyday but it was polluted but then some builders came and built a well for them and they got clean water. The next character was a boy named Salva, Salva had to run from his home because rebels came to his village and attacked them so he had to run away with other people but they get captured as well in the end he goes to the United States and lives there and finds out that his dad was still alive and ended up getting reunited with him. We had to write our thoughts on this subject and how it made us feel. I thought it was sad because they have to live with polluted water and poverty.

Pick A Path Helmet Of Darkness
Through out June and the start of July we worked on some writing assessments. We got to pick between a pick a path (which I chose) and animation (which basically the whole class chose apart some other people.) I learnt how to make a pick a path and it was very enjoyable.
