THE LOYAL ORDER OF HELGA
Long, long ago, in a village called New Svalbard, the people who lived there faced unimaginable dangers. A sinkhole as old as time held a door — a portal — to the Otherside, a dark and dreadful place filled with literal nightmares.
To warn travelers of the danger the village posed, the people renamed it Devils’ Pass — a reminder to all who lived there and passed through that a darkness sat in the area. A darkness that often had teeth.
For years the people of Devils’ Pass endured the danger. Then Helga, one of the white settlers of the village, fell through the cursed sinkhole to the Otherside, coming face-to-face with the terrifying monsters. Helga spent many years there, fighting all sorts of monstrous creatures, learning about their ways and their weaknesses. Through trials and tribulations, and more than a little cunning, she became a fearsome warrior.
Helga fought her way back to Devils’ Pass through the portal, now with an understanding of the deadly secrets of the Otherside. Almost immediately, her skills were put to the test. A fearsome frost giant menaced the village, crawling out of the sinkhole and terrorizing the people. Using only a flaming torch, Helga fought the giant and won. It was an astonishing act of bravery — but soon it was clear that the people of Devils’ Pass suffered from something else. The sinkhole made the people of the village forget that monsters lived there.
Through some type of magic, however, not all of them forgot. Those who remembered the perils and nightmares the sinkhole brought forth became the Loyal Order of Helga. Along with Helga, the people who remembered the danger vowed to protect Devils’ Pass — and the entire world — from the vicious monsters of the Otherside.
CHAPTER ONE
Show Them What You’ve Got
"In your homework last night, we discussed the scientific method. Can anyone come to the board and outline what it is?" Mrs. Fillman looked out across the room, searching for a victim. All the kids slouched down in their seats a little, hoping she wouldn’t see them.
That is, everyone except Evie Allen, who sat up straighter and raised her hand. I know,
she called, waving her hand in the air.
Anyone but Evie,
Ms. Fillman said. The students were quick to look down at their books or notebooks to avoid Ms. Fillman’s searching gaze.
Evie sighed. Can I please just answer the question, Ms. Fillman?
Ms. Fillman nodded, and Evie beamed. This was her favorite part of science class, answering questions on the board. She just couldn’t figure out why no one else wanted to do it.
Evie walked to the board, hopping over the backpacks in the aisle and ignoring the kids who whispered as she passed. She was used to it. Skipping a grade meant that she was smaller than everyone else, and everyone in eighth grade at Devils’ Pass Middle School knew her as the really smart girl who answered all the questions in almost every class.
Evie picked up one of the dry erase markers, the orange one, and began to work through the problem on the whiteboard. When she was done, she capped the marker and put it back in the tray.
Good job, Evie. As usual,
Ms. Fillman said.
The bell rang, and people packed up their books and notebooks. Your homework is on the board. Make sure to do the even questions only! And study for the test this Friday,
Ms Fillman called as everyone filed out of the room.
Evie went back to her desk and packed up her stuff. She threw her book bag over her shoulder and started to leave, but Ms. Fillman stopped her before she walked out the door.
Evie, may I have a word with you?
she called.
Evie walked over to Ms. Fillman’s desk. Ms. Fillman took off her glasses and wiped them on the corner of her cardigan. Evie, I know you like answering the questions on the board, but you need to give the rest of the class a chance to participate.
Oh, OK,
Evie said. It hadn’t occurred to her that volunteering to answer every question meant that she was taking an opportunity away from someone else. After all, no one else wanted to answer the questions.
"You’re very smart, Evie. But I worry that maybe you’re too focused on school. Tell me, do
