OthinnTheWise kk_kanibal she slowly walked into the room, carefully looking around. making sure not to make even the slightest sound. she walked around in the shadows and came up behind johnny, then, at the top of her lungs screamed
Hello Foxy!
she then started giggling and sat beside him. she looked around at everyone else, who would probably be looking at her for being so loud and greeted them all kindly. Wolf looked at kk and smiled at her, ten pulled out his books. "I think the teacher is coming"

She asked trying to get her mind off the fact the teacher will probaly hate her for not being prepared. She looked around and pulled her legs up to her chin, her arms hugging her legs.

The crow upon Wolf's Head flies off and lands on the Teachers desk. after about a minute or two the crow turns to a human.
"Good evening class, my name is Took and I will be teaching a class on norse mythology. and dont worry you wont need any books."
Took, then placed his hand on the Black Board and a image of a tree formed.
"Norse, Viking or Scandinavian mythology comprises the indigenous pre-Christian religion, beliefs and legends of the Scandinavian peoples, including those who settled on Iceland, where most of the written sources for Norse mythology were assembled. Norse mythology is the best-preserved version of the older common Germanic paganism, which also includes the closely related Anglo-Saxon mythology. Germanic mythology, in its turn, developed from an earlier Indo-European mythology.
Norse mythology is a collection of beliefs and stories shared by Northern Germanic tribes. It had no one set of doctrinal beliefs. The mythology was orally transmitted in the form of poetry and our knowledge about it is mainly based on the Eddas and other medieval texts written down during and after Christianization.
Some aspects of Norse mythology passed into Scandinavian folklore and have survived to modern day times. Others have recently been reinvented or reconstructed as Germanic neopaganism. The mythology also remains as an inspiration in literature (see Norse mythological influences on later literature) as well as on stage productions and movies."

Johnny looked at Mr. Took puzzled. With the same thought as everyone else, he added,
"I don't understand why we need to know Norse Mythology. I think it's interesting, but why do we need to know in this?"

Took raised his voice as he spoke, "I am letting you know this, for more then one reason. One, is if you are a summoner, you can call the gods to help. Two, if you want help with your battles, you can say a small prayer to have the gods help. Like calling Thor to cast thunder on an army of foes. Or Jord to make the Earth roll or shake.
and Skirnir to cast his mighty shield upon you.
Learn and use to your will ...
The gods love you all.

Zane Strife "Does it work? Just curious..." He looked over to this unknown person with a disgusted look.
"No... he's lying to us. He's gonna have us say a prayer so that we're cut off guard and no help comes..."
