Chapter 5: Yellow hair god
In the garden of Gaea a young child with that of drak hair, he was weairng something a child like him would wear, he looked greek, and has a beautiful face, it was clear onces he grows older he will be a handsome man, he was eating an apple, this boy was a 6 yearold Hades, as he was eating an apple, as he stopped and saw the bushes moved.
Hades looked at the bushes. "Hello is anyone there"
Then from the bush jumped out a young boy, same age as him, he has yellow hair and one missing eyes, holding a mix ship spear, he was looking around before he saw Hades
The Blond boy looked at Hades. "Hello um, do you know the way to Asgard".
Hades raised and eyes brow at that, during the age of gods especially in the early days of was normally od Child God to end up in different places, do to them having a near Infit Stamina, now Hades already knew where asgrad was thanks to his Future knowledge but right now he was looking at the young God, to him he looked familiar.
Hades looked at the blond boy as he lied. "No who may you be"
The boy sighs as he looked at Hades. "Damm it father is going to be mad... Right I should Interduce my self My name is Odin"
Hades froze for a moment, processing the introduction. Odin? The future Allfather of Asgard? It all clicked for him now. The missing eye, the spear—it had to be the young version of the god who would one day rule the Norse pantheon. But seeing him like this, as a child who seemed lost, was strange.
Hades smiled slightly, playing along. "Odin, huh? Well, it's nice to meet you. My name is Hades."
Odin looked him up and down, curious. "Hades? Never heard of you. Where is your kingdom?"
Hades smirked, knowing the power he'd eventually hold, but right now, he was still just a child. "I'm… not ruling anything yet. I live here in Gaea's garden."
Odin looked around in awe. "This place is amazing. So, you don't know the way to Asgard?"
Hades shook his head, still not wanting to reveal too much. "Not exactly, but you could stay here for a while. Maybe Gaea could help."
Odin frowned, his pride flaring up. "I can't just stay. I have to get back. But..." He looked around nervously. "I wouldn't mind resting for a bit."
Hades chuckled. "Come on, then. I'll show you around. Maybe by the time you're done, you'll figure out your way back to Asgard."
As they walked deeper into the garden, Hades couldn't help but wonder how many more unexpected encounters he'd face now that the timeline had shifted.
Hades led Odin through Gaea's garden, the vibrant greenery surrounding them, with occasional glimpses of creatures born from the primal forces of nature. The air was thick with the scent of flowers, and the soft rustling of leaves gave the garden an almost mystical aura. Odin looked around in awe, clearly amazed by the place.
Odin spoke up, breaking the silence. "So... what's it like living here? I mean, no one else is around, right?"
Hades shrugged. "It's peaceful, but it can get lonely. Gaea visits sometimes, but most of the time, I'm left to my own devices. I do a lot of training, preparing for... well, for the future."
Odin raised an eyebrow. "Training? What kind of training? Do you fight beasts, or...?"
Hades smirked. "You could say that. I'm learning to control my domains, especially death and chaos. Not easy, but I'm getting there."
Odin stopped in his tracks, his one eye widening. "Wait, death and chaos? That's... those are heavy domains for someone our age. You really got stuck with those?"
Hades chuckled darkly. "Yeah, I guess you could say I was destined for it. But enough about me. What about you? What brings you wandering into Gaea's garden?"
Odin sighed, his playful demeanor fading for a moment. "My father, Bor, sent me on a task to prove myself. I was supposed to return with something that could show I'm ready for the responsibilities of Asgard's future, but I... got lost. I ended up here."
Hades gave him a sympathetic look. "Proving yourself, huh? Sounds familiar. I think we all have to deal with that sooner or later."
Odin nodded. "Yeah, but it's more than just proving myself to my father. There are... expectations. My brothers are watching, waiting to see if I'll fail. I have to be perfect, or they'll never accept me as their leader."
Hades looked at him for a moment, thinking back on his own future. Zeus, Poseidon… they'd all have their roles, their domains, but it was always Hades who would bear the weight of the underworld, in isolation. The thought was sobering, but he pushed it aside for now.
"You'll figure it out," Hades said. "You're here now, so maybe that's part of your journey. Learn from this place, from the gods around you. It'll make you stronger when you do return."
Odin gave a small, grateful smile. "Maybe you're right. But, uh... are you sure there's nothing dangerous around here? You know, like big beasts or something?"
Hades laughed. "Oh, there are plenty of dangers, but you'll be safe. Just stay close."
As they continued walking, the wind suddenly shifted, and a low growl echoed through the garden. Odin tensed up, gripping his spear tightly. "What was that?"
Hades glanced around, narrowing his eyes. "Something's coming."
From the shadows of the trees, a massive creature emerged. Its body was a blend of primal forces—part beast, part shadow, its eyes glowing a fiery red. It was a creature born of chaos, something Hades had encountered in his training before but had never fully managed to defeat.
"Stay back," Hades warned, stepping forward.
Odin, however, didn't listen. "No way! I can help!"
Hades shot him a glare. "You don't even know what this thing is."
Odin smirked, spinning his spear. "Doesn't matter. I'm not scared."
The creature lunged, and in a flash, both boys jumped into action. Hades summoned his control over the void and chaos, sending dark tendrils to wrap around the beast's limbs, trying to restrain it. Odin, on the other hand, leapt forward with his spear, aiming for the creature's eye.
The battle was fierce, the ground trembling beneath their feet as the creature thrashed and roared. Hades poured more of his power into holding it down, but it was clear he was struggling. Odin's attacks were strong, but they weren't enough to deal a decisive blow.
Just when it seemed like the beast might break free, Hades' eyes glowed, and he summoned a wave of void energy that slammed into the creature, knocking it back into the shadows from which it came.
Panting, Hades dropped to one knee, exhausted. Odin stood by him, breathing heavily as well.
"That was... intense," Odin said between breaths.
Hades nodded. "Yeah. That's the kind of thing I deal with here. Training isn't just about control—it's about survival."
Odin looked at Hades with a newfound respect. "You're stronger than you let on, Hades. I can see why the gods gave you those domains."
Hades smiled weakly. "Thanks. But I've still got a long way to go."
As the two boys sat down to catch their breath, the sky above them darkened, and a familiar presence loomed. Gaea appeared, her figure towering over them like the force of nature she was.
"You boys have been playing with dangerous forces," Gaea said, her voice both stern and amused. "But it seems you handled yourselves well."
Odin quickly stood up, bowing his head respectfully. "Apologies, great Gaea. I didn't mean to intrude."
Gaea chuckled softly. "No harm done, young one. But perhaps it's time for you to return to Asgard. Your father will be looking for you."
Odin nodded, looking at Hades with a small smile. "I guess this is where we part ways."
Hades nodded. "Yeah, but I'm sure we'll meet again."
With that, Gaea waved her hand, and Odin's form shimmered before vanishing, leaving Hades alone in the garden once more.
Gaea looked down at Hades with a knowing smile. "You've made a strong ally today, young one. But remember, your journey is just beginning."
Hades looked up at her, determination burning in his eyes. "I know. I'll be ready."
The next day arrived as Odin arrived back to the garden as Hade saw him
Hades looked at Odin. "Did you get lost again Odin"
Odin just smirk a smile that seems cute in his young face. "Nope I came to visit my friend".
Hades stood there, processing the word "friend" as it echoed in his mind. He hadn't considered the possibility before, especially in this new life. Before the reset, friendship for him was merely an alliance of necessity, with other gods of death, distant and cold. But here, this was different—Odin was different.
"You came all the way here... just to visit me?" Hades asked, still a bit unsure.
Odin, with that mischievous smirk, shrugged. "Yeah, why not? It's more interesting here than at home. And besides," he added, tapping the spear slung over his back, "I still want to see if you're up for sparring again. Yesterday was fun."
Hades blinked in surprise. "Fun?"
Odin laughed. "Yeah! I've never met anyone else who could keep up with me like that."
Gaea, watching from a distance, smiled warmly. She felt a sense of hope swell in her heart as she watched her grandson interact with Odin. Perhaps this was the beginning of something bigger. For ages, the pantheons had been divided, locked in their own realms, with only occasional skirmishes and rivalries. But seeing these young gods—one from Asgard, one from Olympus—building something as simple yet powerful as friendship gave her optimism for a future where peace might be possible between the pantheons.
As Gaea stood by, observing quietly, she thought to herself, Maybe the key to uniting the pantheons is through the next generation. Maybe the old grudges and battles can finally end with them.
Hades, still wrapping his mind around this new reality, smiled softly, something he wasn't used to doing often. "Alright, Odin. But if we spar again, don't go easy on me."
Odin grinned. "Wouldn't dream of it."
They found a clearing in the garden, where the vibrant trees swayed gently in the breeze. Gaea allowed them their space, though her watchful eye never left them, just in case things got out of hand. The two boys squared off, their youthful energy and determination practically crackling in the air.
"Alright, you first," Odin said, raising his spear and readying his stance.
Hades closed his eyes for a moment, feeling the pull of the void and the whisper of chaos at his fingertips. He had grown more accustomed to these powers, but they were still volatile. He opened his eyes, a determined glint in them. With a quick gesture, dark tendrils of energy extended from his hands, twisting and warping toward Odin like serpents.
Odin, with his spear in hand, darted forward. His movements were quick, agile, and precise, as if he were born to dance with the chaos around him. The tip of his spear slashed through the tendrils with ease, but Hades wasn't finished yet. As Odin closed in, Hades summoned the void beneath Odin's feet, causing the ground to momentarily vanish and disorient the young god.
Odin stumbled but recovered quickly, laughing. "That was a good one!"
He thrust his spear toward Hades, the tip glimmering with divine energy. Hades dodged to the side, but the spear's energy grazed his arm, leaving a light burn. Hades retaliated, summoning a wave of chaotic force that blasted toward Odin. The two boys clashed repeatedly, neither one willing to give in, each attack met with counterforce and skill.
As their sparring session went on, it became clear that they were pushing each other to grow, both in strength and in understanding. Hades had never had a friend like this—someone who didn't fear his powers, but instead embraced the challenge they posed.
After what felt like hours, the two boys collapsed onto the grass, both laughing, exhausted but exhilarated.
"You're strong, Hades," Odin said between breaths. "Stronger than most of the gods back home, honestly."
Hades looked up at the sky, still catching his breath. "Same to you. I've never met anyone who can match me like that."
Gaea approached them with a warm smile. "It's good to see you both enjoying yourselves, but don't overexert. You'll need all your strength for what's to come."
Both boys looked up at her, curious.
"What do you mean, Grandmother?" Hades asked.
Gaea's smile faded a bit, though it remained gentle. "The world is changing, young ones. Your destinies are intertwined with much larger forces. For now, enjoy your time together, but remember—there will be trials ahead that will test both of you beyond what you can imagine."
Odin, always the brave one, grinned. "Bring it on. We're ready."
Hades, however, glanced at Odin and then at Gaea. Deep down, he knew that their future battles wouldn't be as simple as these friendly spars. But for now, he allowed himself to relax, to enjoy the moment, to feel, for the first time in a long while, what it was like to have a friend.
"Yeah," Hades said quietly. "We'll be ready."
The day came to an end, and once again Odin was ready to leave before he does Gaea stopped him
Gaea looked at the Youbg god. "Before you go through the Portal Odin, take this for you father brother, also they can grow"
Odin looked at Gaea hand, it was an Golden Apple as he took each of them. "T-t-thank you".
Hades looked at Odin. "Hey Odin you said something about walk to keep the other types of gods in your realm anyway from Asgard... Will that sound stupid"
Odin let out a laughed that only a child can. "Yeah that sucks I know as well... Hey maybe I can give them these apple and stop there wall plans, thanks Hades".
Odin's eyes lit up with excitement as he held the golden apples tightly in his hands. The prospect of using them to broker peace or at least create some goodwill with the other gods filled him with determination.
"That's a brilliant idea!" Odin exclaimed, bouncing on his heels. "If I can convince them that these apples are worth more than a wall, maybe they'll reconsider their plans."
Hades felt a strange warmth at Odin's enthusiasm. This was the first time he had shared an idea that could potentially change the fate of others, and it felt good. "You think it'll work?"
Odin grinned. "Of course! They love shiny things. And these are not just shiny; they hold the essence of Gaea! They might even grant them some power." He paused, a thoughtful look crossing his face. "I'll tell them they should use the apples to strengthen their realm rather than divide it. Maybe we can create some alliances instead of walls."
Gaea watched the two boys, a mix of pride and concern in her eyes. "Just remember, Odin, not all gods will be as open to your ideas. Some may still cling to old grudges and seek power over peace. You'll need to tread carefully."
Odin nodded seriously, though his determination didn't waver. "I can handle it, Gaea. I've got a plan!" He turned to Hades, excitement radiating off him. "And I have a friend to back me up if things get tough."
"Of course," Hades replied, a smile creeping onto his face. "Just let me know when you need me."
Odin waved goodbye and began to head towards the shimmering portal that Gaea had opened. He paused and turned back, his yellow hair catching the light of the setting sun. "I'll see you tomorrow, Hades! And we'll come up with even more plans!"
"Yeah, see you!" Hades called back, feeling a flicker of hope. Perhaps there was a chance for change, not just for them, but for the pantheons at large.
Once Odin stepped through the portal, Gaea turned to Hades, her expression softening. "You've made a good friend, my dear. This connection could be very important."
Hades shrugged, unsure how to express what he felt. "I've never had a friend like him before. It's... different." He looked up at Gaea. "Do you really think we can change anything?"
Gaea knelt beside him, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Change is always possible, especially when you have the will to do so. Remember, my dear Hades, it's not just about power; it's about understanding, connection, and compassion. If you and Odin can forge bonds, it might ripple through the realms."
Hades nodded, absorbing her words. "I want to help. I don't want to be the god of the underworld who just watches everything from the shadows."
"Then you must embrace your destiny," Gaea encouraged. "You are destined for greatness, Hades, but greatness is not just about power or fear. It's about love, friendship, and standing up for what is right."
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the garden, Hades felt a flicker of purpose ignite within him. He would train, he would learn, and he would not let the cycle of hatred continue unchecked.
"Thank you, Grandmother," he said earnestly. "I'll do my best."
Gaea smiled, her eyes sparkling with warmth. "That is all I ask, dear one. Now, let's prepare for tomorrow. There are many lessons still to be learned."
The two spent the rest of the evening talking and planning, with Gaea sharing tales of the world and its myriad beings, and Hades, energized by his new friendship with Odin, eagerly soaking in every word. The night deepened, filled with possibilities and dreams of what might come next, and for the first time, Hades felt a sense of belonging.
