Chapter Eight

"Where to now?" Astrid asked.

"I think the Roman Camp. In disguise." Natasha smiled.

"We need to find out Norse counterparts. So we go to Boston." Andrea said.

"Why Boston?" Natasha paused. Her brown hair was sticking up straight.

"It's the centre of the nine worlds. Why else?" Andrea stated as if it was known by every passing mortal. Astrid quirked an eyebrow. Fez barked at a leaf causing everyone to laugh.

"I guess we go to Boston." Astrid stood up and brushed off her beige pants. Natasha put her nick nacks away into a pocket on her tool belt which still spewed green smoke like the oracle. Andrea stood up. Natasha sighed and stood up.

"It's a long jump." She said. Fez ran over and barked.

"You wanna take us?" Astrid asked. Fez bobbed his head up and down. "Hold on." They grabbed his collar and disappeared into the shadow of the black house.

They appeared in the shadow of a bridge. Waist deep in water. They sloshed onto the bank. Fez went and laid down.

"You guys stay here. My turn to find some food." Astrid said and morphed into a wolf. Natasha looked at her snout.

"You're going grey." Natasha pointed. Astrid snapped and ran off. She trotted through the busy city. Astrid stopped. Drift was strong in this city.

It could be the centre of the nine world in Norse mythology.

Or reality.

Astrid looked up to see a guy with blonde, chin length hair. Stormy grey eyes. Blue jeans, a wiggles shirt, and a zip up hoodie. He looked at her with a look of horror. Drift surrounded him heavily. She searched through his memories. The girl beside him had a grim look on her face. She was pretty.

What was most startling was the fact that they were Norse demigods.

And she needed to talk to them.

She jumped forward and grabbed the girl's hijab. She was careful not to break it.

Or slobber on it.

But no promises.

She ran down the road a little and stopped letting the pair catch up. Then ran again she ran down onto the beach and morphed from a wolf to a human in front of their eyes.

"What are you?" The girl asked.

"You don't know what I am. But I know you. Your Magnus Chase, Son of Natalie. And your name is Sam, because you prefer to be called that. You want to become a pilot. And you long for your parents. I met Annabeth Chase. In fact am close friends with her. Lost that bet didn't you?" Astrid knew she had confused them. She tossed Sam her hijab back. "Come on." Astrid turned and walked back to were the rest were. Magnus and Sam followed.

"You get us food?" Andrea asked them stiffened.

"No I found Norse demigods." Astrid smiled and sat down.

"I don't trust you. I'm getting Jack." Magnus pulled the pendant off his necklace. It turned into a sword.

A beautiful one at that.

"What the Hel are you?" The sword-Jack- asked. It flew at her.

"Drift Shifter." Astrid asked and lifted her shield out of the drift to stop the charging sword. Jack stopped.

"Sorry." It backed up.

"Jack. What are you doing?" Magnus asked.

"These guys created the Ginnungagap." Jack said. Such a long name.

"The drift shifters before us did." Natasha put in.

"Who are you?" Sam asked.

"Astrid Canis. Daughter of Lupa, Magician of the House of Life, Host of Ma'at, survived of the death curse." Astrid felt like showing off.

"Natasha Tonks." Apparently she wasn't being as fun.

"I'm your half-sister. Andrea." Andrea answered. Sam looked a little shocked.

"So what's up in the Norse part of the worlds?" Astrid asked.

"We're trying to delay Ragnorok." Jack said. Andrea snorted.

"Good luck. Please delay it. We don't want to deal with it." Andrea answered.

"We're trying." Magnus said.

"We can't help you. Or interfere unless it comes to us." Andrea said. "We forget this ever happened."

"Agreed." Magnus turned his big mouthed sword into the pendant again. Him and Sam turned to leave and walked down the beach. Andrea snapped her fingers.

"What did you do?" Natasha asked.

"I blocked this meeting from their memories. One day it will come back. It's safer for now." Andrea said. "We should go." Natasha shadow traveled them away.
