Heir To The Throne Of Skulls

The Road To Destiny

It was a sunny day in Virginia. The weather fairly warm with a pleasant breeze flowing through the air. Way up upon a hill on an old picnic table sat a typical teenage girl. Her hair was a beautiful mixture of dark and light brown that went past her shoulders. Her skin pale as if she didn't like the sun.  Her eyes were as bright as the leaves in the trees. Her black shorts and black tank top flowed in the wind when it blew. She felt as if she had all the time in the world to think of everything and to pay attention to everything around her. Each living creature that made a noise. The rustling of the leaves. She turned her head to the left as her ears picked up twigs snapping. She sighed in frustration. For her concentration and quiet had been disturbed. "Sorry for disturbing your alone time but everyone is almost ready to go so I thought it might be best if I came to get you instead of your mother" a deep baritone voice said.  "Fine I'll be on my way back then before everyone thinks I've run off and joined a fucking circus" she said clearly annoyed. She jumped off the table landing on her feet  as she stood at 5'3 and started walking down a trail as a black wolf the size of a miniture horse with extremely long fur kept pace with her. "This is dumb we go on educational field trips every month. Why can't we go to the beach it's summer for Zeus's sake" she asked the wolf. "Because let's face it Alyssa your moms a snooze fest. She just is paranoid as hell" the wolf laughed as he said the sentence. Alyssa kicked a stone into a pond a foot in front of them. "Still doesn't explain why we have to die of boredom Fenrir. I just wish this trip was different" "careful what you wish for girly you never know what could happen" He said snarkily. Alyssa looked at Fenrir annoyed. He shrugged innocently and she rolled her eyes and they kept walking till they reached a small gray and white building with a huge bus in front of it. A crowd of people were stuffing bags and suitcases in the bus and Fenrir tapped his paw on the ground as gray smoke encircled him and as it dispersed there standing was a tall young man in his late teens with Norse runes all up his arms. His ripped black jeans were meant for reconnaissance and his tank top too. How Alyssa knew this was because she designed it  for him. His Short black hair flowed in the wind. "Ready to sit in a bus full of people for a couple hours princess" He asked his Norse accent very thick now. Alyssa elbowed him gently. "Remember don't call me princess I don't need people fawning over me because I can raise the dead. Or being scared of me because of dad" she said seriously. "But we should at least tell your mother" "God no Fen if I told her she would get rid of me just like the others now let's get on the stupid bus and sit in the front to be away from everyone" "and so we can watch Frozen" "and so we can watch Frozen now come on Fenrir". She grabbed his hand and pulled him into the very front seat and put in earbuds blasting the song Fire, Blood and Steel. Everyone boarded the bus as a woman in her 40's stood at the front talking to Everyone and soon the woman sat in the middle. "You know that's my pantheon not yours right" Fenrir said. She looked at him annoyed. "Technically the Norse pantheon is nicer than mine besides for Hades aka dad and besides Aunt hestia" "can I listen to the Playlist too?" Asked Fenrir. Alyssa handed him an earbud and he put it in his ear as the bus pulled away from the little building and drove on the highway.
