Kapitel 64: A Talk
A/N: Pat-reon: HelloDarkness07.
SECOND ONE!
~~~
A few minutes after Loki left Andalok to Midgard, I get a few minutes of silence, to think up on his proposal. Of course, I first made sure that Loki didn't leave any surprises behind. I wouldn't doubt that he would have at least a type of spying spell here, but thankfully he didn't.
Few minutes later, though, Kali enters the Throne room, Manasi nowhere in sight, and stands in front of me. She has undoubtedly observed the meeting, so I just stay silent, thinking.
"Do you think Odin will keep to Loki's word? From what I've heard, he doesn't like Loki much." Kali says, still standing.
Looking up at her, I sigh, and rub my forehead. I say, "Odin, and Asgard, is all about honour. Loki will tell him of our conditions, and Odin will have no choice but to accept. His honour will demand it. But he will also try to trick me out of the favour. He definitely doesn't want to share Asgardian knowledge, not even with other Gods."
Kali nods, and then asks, "And what of Loki? Are you going to accept his proposal?"
"I'm leaning towards it, yes." I answer, observing Kali's face. She doesn't approve.
She asks, "How many children does he have? I don't think I ever learned much about him."
"Currently, he has 5 children. Hela, Fenrir, and Jormungandr by the Elderspawn/Jotun Giantess Angrboda, Vali from his wife Sigyn, and Sliepnir, the Steed of Odin. There used to be another one, Narfi, who died at the hands of Vali, by the machinations of the Aesir. But, if I know Loki, then Narfi is definitely alive again, but on Midgard. And Sliepnir, well, even Loki doesn't count him amongst his children." I explain, remembering the lessons of mother.
And Narfi was most definitely alive. Say what you will about Loki, but he loves his children. And even if his three children by Angrboda might not look eye to eye with him, they too love him, and their other siblings. Monster children have to stick together, no?
If Loki asked, Hela would revive Narfi without question. And then, Loki can simply hide him out there on Earth.
Kali sighs, and takes a step forward. Putting a hand on my knee, she says, "Don't let your sympathy for Loki's children blind you to his own faults. We all know that he will stab you in the back the second he gets an opportunity." Pausing a bit, she adds, "Do you think the children would agree to the proposal?"
I snort, finding that hard to believe. I say, "Hela, Jormungandr and Fenrir are firmly against Asgard, in this coming war. I think Jormungandr would agree to Loki's plan, if I grant him his freedom, and promise not to bind him to a single place, but the other two definitely won't. As for Vali and Narfi, I have no idea. I don't think anyone other than Loki, or possibly Sigyn, even knows where the two are. Sliepnir is not intelligent enough to make a decision, but Odin won't allow him to leave his sight."
Shrugging, I continue, "It doesn't matter anyway. If any of his children agree to the plan, I will give them sanctuary, and protect them from Ragnarok. But, they will either do it my way, or they will die. Simple as that."
Kali nods, accepting the answer, and I see a bit of satisfaction on her face. "Is there anything else you wish to speak about?"
Kali looks up at me, and without any warning, she cups my face, and kisses my lips. For a second, I go with the flow, kissing her back, but then the disapproving face of Chhaya flashes in front of my closed eyes.
I firmly, but gently, push Kali away, and say, "Stop, Kali. Please."
Kali stops trying to push herself on me, and leans back. Looking into my eyes, her butt resting on my lap, she asks, "You love her, don't you?"
Looking into the tear filled eyes, I answer, "Yes. I love her, and I love you. But Kali, I am not in love with either of you." I have no idea why I'm explaining myself. Maybe this is the one way I believe will be the least hurtful?
Kali shakes her head, and says, "No.. you are in love with her. You just don't want to believe it." She chuckles, her eyes now crying tears, and mumbles, "Great going, Kali."
Having no idea what to do, I just rub Kali's back, letting her get it all out. A few minutes later, I say, "I might, I might not. But we are not in a relationship, so don't blame yourself too much, Kali. You didn't come between us or anything. Are you upset?"
Kali snorts, wiping her eyes, and says, "Of course I'm upset. Wouldn't you be if Chhaya decided to bed Ammon-Ra? Or Thor?"
Ugh, okay maybe I do love her like that. But we're still not in a relationship.
"See! You do love her, and you understand why I am upset too." Kali says, sniffling a bit, and rests her head on my chest.
Hugging Kali, I sigh, wondering when my life became so complicated. I am trying to get a girl pregnant, and her sister just hit on me, and said sister is right now grinding me.
"Kali." I say, warningly, and sighing once again when she stops grinding.
"Sorry, couldn't resist." Kali mumbles, still on my chest.
Patting her head, I say, "What are you trying Kali? Speak to me, what do you want?"
"I wanted you, but I waited too long." Kali says, clutching my armour in her fists. "But now that I know that I can't have you, I would like you to give me a child too."
Oh for fuck's sake.
"Kali, a child is not something you bargain for. If you want to have a child, you can ask for it, and I will do my best to give it to you." I say, already tired of what I will have to deal with in a few years.
"Really? You will make both me and my sister pregnant?" Kali asks, disbelief colouring her words.
I shrug, and say, "I and Chhaya are not in a relationship, nor are we married. We currently have an agreement to have a child together. If we start loving each other while raising the child, then we will deal with it. If not, we will stay separate parents."
"But," I interrupt, as Kali widens her smile, and say, "You will have to talk it over with Chhaya. And I won't give you another child before you turn Manasi herself into a Goddess. Who knows what she'll feel about having a sibling, and a cousin at the same time."
And I know for a fact, that Kali was going to ascend Manasi only after a small quest that she will have to go through. The quest won't happen before her 18th birthday at the earliest.
Kali scowls, but nods. She says, "Fine. I will go and talk with Chhaya. You aren't leaving for a week, right?"
"5 days. After that, I will leave for Midgard. Why?" I ask, suspecting what she's planning.
Kali just giggles, and says, "No reason. I'll talk it out with my sister. Don't you worry your pretty little head about it."
And with another kiss on my lips, Kali gets off me, leaving me to take care of myself. Damn, I really hope Manasi didn't witness that face of her mother. By Gods, I really hope Chhaya stops Kali from seducing me.
~~~
"What!?" Chhaya asks, furiously glaring at her sister.
Kali shrugs, and repeats, "I said I want to bed Theos and have his child. You can still marry him, because he loves you more than he does me. I will just have one of his children."
"Kali! You can't just say that! I wanted to hear that from him!" Chhaya yells, jumping on Kali with an extended fist.
After a few minutes of punching each other around Gaea's living room, they once more sit down, with Gaea glaring at them both.
Gaea asks, "What possessed you two to destroy my furniture?"
Chhaya mumbles, "She's a lover stealer."
Gaea turns her glare to Kali, who bows her head and says, "They're not lovers yet! So I stole no one!"
Gaea glares at both of them once again, and says, "My son is not a toy to steal or fight over! Talk it out, and decide quickly. He's already feeling conflicted enough as it is."
As the two open their mouths to argue, Gaea lets her magic loose, and binds the two women to their chairs. Glaring at them, Gaea snarls, "Do not think for one moment, that me teaching you will get in the way of your punishment. My son refuses to do so, even when you two went behind his back during an important decision regarding your Realm, but do not think me the same. Now, talk!"
And with that, Gaea leaves the room, removing the bindings on the frozen girls. As Gaea leaves, Chhaya and Kali turn to each other. With a raised eyebrow, Chhaya asks, "Are you okay? I know how much he means to you."
Kali shrugs, and says, "Yes, but you are more important to me. If you two love each other, I will not get in between. No matter how much it might hurt me."
Chhaya sighs, trying to look through her perspective. Kali wants to have Theos for a few days, just like Chhaya now does, and wants to birth one of Theos's children, just like Chhaya wants. Will Theos agree to it though?
For all she knows, Theos doesn't seem like a two timing shit. 'He told Kali to talk it out with me, so he trusts my decision. Well, I'll trust him.' Chhaya thinks, nodding to herself.
She says, "You want a child, you'll get the chance but only if Theos agrees. And it won't happen before Manasi's ascension, like Theos said. Before that, you won't try anything with him. Agreed?"
Kali nods, and says, "Fine. I've waited 5000 years, what's a few more. I'll wait. A condition from me, though, is that you won't marry him before my child is born. Don't want to make him feel as if he's breaking his oaths."
Chhaya nods, understanding. She then says, "Did you ever think we would be talking about having children, from the same person?"
Kali snorts, and says, "How far we've come, eh sister?"
Chhaya chuckles, not managing to hold it back, and shakes her head. Kali too joins her in a few seconds, and soon it evolves to a full blown laughter, as the two sisters hug each other.
All the while, the Hybrid Celestial God stayed ignorant, and kept on hammering the Uru, to practice his Weapons making, knowing that in a few days, he will have the knowledge necessary to upgrade his Weapons, and create those for his fellow Gods.
~~~
A/N: So, Kali will get her child from Theos too, but they won't be in a relationship. Hopefully, the agreements the sisters had mean that there won't be complications, but who knows.
The children won't appear yet. Chhaya's will make a debut after Ragnarok, and Kali's will only begin it's conception after 5 or so more years.
I know people were looking forward for Kali and Chhaya to be punished, but I don't think I can write that. It just sounds terribly wrong. Misogynistic or something, idk.
It just does. Sorry if it upsets you!
