Tree Snakes

That was not a fun climb. Even for me. For the first time in a long time, I feel tired and winded. For the climb I had Lexi hanging on to me and Kenny had used her shadow powers to secure her to me.

We didn't get very far before something big and serpentine came sliding up the tree at us. This big snake-thing attacked and Claire and Kennedy shot the crap out of it. It was hurt bad then Hal moved in and held onto it to give the girls a chance to take it out. But, not before it summoned a buddy.. and got off a weird breath attack.


Everything infront of it wilted away and died. Despite my best efforts I got caught in the blast and it hit Lexi. I got to someplace flat to check on her while the others took out the other serpent. Mercifully, Lexi had survived, but she said it was because of her playing card. I'll have to ask her about it. The poor girl was in rough shape, but Claire came down and gave her what medical aid we could. Then we resumed the climb.

Once we got down to the roots of the world tree (and I can't stress enough that this was like climbing the tallest building in the world all day every day) we found the path splitting off. We were about to set off in what we thought might have been the right way, but a trio of norns (who we failed to notice) spoke out behind us.

The short of what they had to tell us is that our interfering with Ragnarok has caused a severe "snag" in the "tapestry of fate". The easy way to deal with it would have involved cutting the offending threads (killing us) but thats not something that can be done to demigods, so some other solution has to be found. No doubt, we're not going to like what we hear.
