"You and your sister are probably the bastard children of Gods, you were sent here to keep you safe from the monsters that hunt us by our scent. Much like the ones that roam these woods and are on the other side of the barrier you crossed to get here."

There's no humor, no joking, no sense she's playing. This was the truth, the facts of what happened. The story was the same for everyone but the magicians, who know who they are, and the Norse, who are told what's what. "I can't promise you anything, I don't know who your sister is or if she's been through here. But if anyone would know, they would. Now, I'm offering to lead you to safety. You can follow, or stay here. I don't care."

Now to see if that bluff works.
