Chapter Text
Tj’s pov
It started just like every other day in Valhalla; lots of death, lots of fighting, Magnus MIA, Mallory and Half-born off bickering somewhere, Sam in Midgard, Alex off being emo, and me polishing my bayonet.
When all the sudden I heard the elevator ding, Hunding’s voice rang out from the hall, “This is your new room, enjoy Valhalla.”
An unknown voice then rang out, *In thick British accent*, “Cheers mate”, I jumped up at the sound of the British accent.
As I peak my head out I see a young blonde version of Ryan Reynolds. (How I know this, one word “Magnus”). I noticed he had shaggy long blonde hair covering his left eye like Magnus, but he made it look nicer. He turned and stared directly into my soul with his piercing blue eye. I also noticed he had snake bites (Alex informed me of them) and an eyebrow piercing. He seemed pretty fit, as far as I could tell. He quickly broke eye contact and ran into his room slamming the door shut, what an odd guy.
Oliver’s pov
I wasn’t planning on dying today. But I guess fate had other plans, because after the last time I ever took a breath, I opened my eyes and looked at a huge hotel and a man standing in front of me telling me I made it to Valhalla. I was in a daze, I only snapped out of my daze when I was standing in front of my door, feeling the burning sensation of someone staring at me. I turn my head in the direction of the eyes to find a guy in a union soldier outfit staring at me.
My first thought was “Why the bloody hell is some bloke staring at me?”.
My second thought was “Can he see my eye?” I noticed him staring intensely at my face” he can!” I quickly turned away and walked into my room, slamming the door behind me. My face felt warm, only later had I realised I had been blushing.

The dinner horn rang out as I walked out of my room. My hall mates would most likely already be at the feast.
I walked past the new guys room and froze.
“I should check on him” I thought for a second before shaking that thought from my head and knocking on his door. No answer “That’s weird” I thought, then I realised he could have already gone with the others.
“Why do I feel so weird, I don’t even know him” I eventually made it to the feast hall and walked to the table with my fellow hall mates. And the new boy.
I sat next to Halfborn and gazed intently at the new boy who was sitting at the end of the table, away from us.
Mallory smiled “Tj already got his eye on the new boy” she teased.
The audacity. “No I’m just highly suspicious of this new person” I defended crossing my arms over my chest as I looked back at him.
He turned his head and made eye contact with me. I felt my face heat up due to being caught staring and looked away.”God that eye stares into my heart” I thought as I went back.
Olivers pov
Before I could even change into something more comfortable, there was a knock on the door. “Odd” I thought, given that I don’t know anyone yet. I go to open the door and see a small green haired kid.
“Hello” I say, “what’s up, Magnus” The stranger says.
“Umm my name's Oliver not Magnus” I responded.
“Oh shit, sorry, you look super similar, I thought you were him” Says the stranger.
“Oh I’m Alex by the way” “Oh nice to meet you” I say.
“Wanna head down to dinner?” Alex asks. “Sure”. I responded.
We headed down towards the dinner hall. Since I opted out on the tour, I wasn’t expecting there to be so many people when we walked in.
“You sit with us by the way, everyone typically sits with their floor mates.” Alex said. “Ah ok” I responded and followed her to our table, where there were three other people already sitting there.
“Hey guys, this is our new floor mate, his name is Oliver.” Says Alex. “Hey, I’m Mallory Keen, and I’m Halfborn Gunderson, and I’m Magnus Chase.” The stranger introduced themselves. I just nodded my head in a polite way. We finally were able to sit down and start eating, when all of a sudden someone else joined our table. No way it can’t be that weird guy from earlier, what the bloody hell was he doing here?
"I could feel him biting holes into me from how much he had been staring, had he actually seen my other eye, or was he just a creep?" I thought. I turned and faced him and he almost immediately turned the other way, what the fuck is wrong with this bloke?” I pondered. Whatever, someone’s making an announcement anyways.
And the announcements began, they welcomed all the newcomers and showed videos of how they died.
Tj pov
Same old announcements that we hear at almost all the dinners, but today I was intrigued, I wanted to know how Oliver had died (I overheard everyone saying his name, we have not spoken yet). When it was finally Oliver’s video turn nothing showed up aside from Sam flying towards him and just disappearing/dissolving? What was happening in this video? As I looked around everyone was super confused, confused as to how that was even possible and about what was even happening. I wanted to ask him, but all of a sudden the Fates appeared.
