Chapitre 30: No Title
A/N: Pat-reon: HelloDarkness07- Ch 41
~~~
Baldur had a really bad few days. First, Loki attacked hum, without any provocation, and then ran away when he tried to apprehend him. Then, Odin sent Thor to capture Loki, despite him being highly susceptible to Loki's illusions.
'I am the God of Light! His illusions are weaker against me! I should have been the one sent to apprehend Loki!' Baldur thought to himself, scowling at the insult he had felt.
Then, when Loki was captured, and not by Thor, Odin sent him to Nornheim, to ask for wisdom regarding this.. Theos Jordson. And the bad days got even worse there.
The Norns, three bitches that they are, refused to even see him, for 3 straight days. And when they did agree, before even letting him ask a question, they showed him a Vision within the Well of Mimir.
And that vision made Baldur's bad week, even worse. He saw Ragnarok, the end of times. The End of Asgard, and the 9 Realms with it.
Baldur shakes his head, bringing himself out of the Vision's memory, and thinks back again. Once the Vision was shown, the Norns finally allowed him to ask a question, to ask for Wisdom.
And he asked, "Who is this Theos Jordson, and what role does he play in the event of Ragnarok? What should Asgard do about him?"
For a few more days, the Norns kicked him out of their dwelling, which allowed him to stay in the Palace of the Norn Queen, Karnilla. Why did they kick him out, he had asked Queen Karnilla.
To which, she had answered, "The old cunts don't have enough wisdom to answer your questions, so they need time to seek said wisdom."
Baldur had just accepted it, and waited within the Palace for the summons, which finally came 4 weeks after he had been kicked out.
When he appeared before them, they confused him even more. They had said, "Theos Jordson should not exist. His birth is an aberration. Kill him if you must, but his Existence is of no consequence to Asgard. He is not a threat to Asgard."
Of course, Baldur accepted the piece of Wisdom, and left, but not before informing Karnilla of his departure. 'The one good thing to happen to me within this month, is meeting Karnilla.' Baldur thinks to himself, smiling at the memories of the Norn Queen.
And so, he had left, and arrived at his home, back in Asgard. And now, his days were about to go bad again, because he had to explain everything to Odin now.
'I should have stayed in Nornheim. At least Karnilla was there to.. have fun with.' Baldur thinks, scowling in trepidation.
---
"That does not tell us anything." Odin says, frustration deep in his voice after he had heard Baldur's tale of his last few weeks.
The part where the Norns said Theos was an aberration did bother him, but they said the same about Jord, and look where that brought him. A woman that can destroy him within seconds is now not friendly with him. Not an enemy, but not friends either.
"Something bothers me." Baldur said, bringing Odin away from his memories with Jord. When Odin looks at him in question, Baldur adds, "The Norns looked.. shaken, like they had heard a terrible news. They did not seem it even when they showed me the Vision of their own Deaths. Of Ragnarok."
As Baldur pauses, Odin muses to himself, 'What could be worse than their own deaths?'
Waving his hand, Odin dismisses Baldur, and says, "Leave. We will worry about that later. It's not time for Ragnarok yet."
As Baldur bows, and leaves the room, Odin thinks to himself, "Jord is already furious at us for scrying for her son. No need to antagonize her further."
--- Planet Donna---
Good news is, I've managed to absorb the Energy of the Power Stone within myself, which was fairly easy, if I say so myself. Sure, it hurt a bit, and my whole body was itching for 3 days, but well, nothing I couldn't handle.
I am a Celestial, you know. Half and young, I may be, but I am a Celestial. And Ra might be a Billion years old, and Energy absorbing might be his Niche, but he's still just a God. No big deal.
So, yeah, I assimilated the Energy, and left the Vibranium mountain be. It's currently filled with Energy, and will start changing the life around it sometime later anyway. My own Wakanda.
Unfortunately, the absorbed Energy did nothing to me. Meaning, I got no advantage, other than a higher density to my Energy. No effect on my Magic though. That's still the same.
I haven't been to Earth for a couple weeks now, not wanting to face Ra yet. But I did get a visit from Mother, scolding me for stealing from The Ennead. Meh, I still owe them a favour anyway.
So, I decided to live on Donna for a while again, and observe the life here. I have already missed a couple years of observations. Which is why, I made myself comfortable back in my home.
And isn't this a weird thing. Some 100 years ago, if anyone would have told me that I'd think of another planet as Home, I would have laughed in their face.
Earth was my home. It still is a home, but it's my mother's house first, my house second. But Donna? That's MY Home. No one else lives here, and I'm it's only God!
Ahem, enough God Complex. Huh. Technically, though, I am the Elder God of this Planet. If I had plans of seeding sentient life here, I'd be like the Demiurge. Thankfully, I have no plans like that.
Too much responsibility for me. Plus, if I've learned anything from the History if Earth, it's that Gods like to War a lot. So do Mortals, in fact. And I want my planet to stay.. beautiful.
And, I'm better at living one day at a time.
Conjuring my usual Battle Axe, and Magically making it heavier, I start practicing with it, not wanting to lose like I lost to Satannish that time.
'Life is good.' I think to myself, sweating, as I stop the 10 Ton battle Axe from falling on the ground, and start waving it around.
--- Time Skip: 30 Years---
Wiping the water away from my eyes, I pull the fish out of the river, and start walking towards my house.
It's been a calm few years. I haven't done much of anything other than grind, eat, and sleep. I did increase my strength from Class 30 to Class 40, which was a pretty significant increase to have in under a century.
I've also gotten a bit taller, meaning I wasn't short for a God anymore. I was 6'7! And I have to say, I was loving my new height. But, with positives, there are also negatives.
I was horny. Like, a lot. I was practically a 20 year old, if I look at my body, and damn I was angry about it. There's only so many times you can relieve yourself before it gets boring.
Thankfully, I do have illusions whenever I want to.. shake it off. And I remember a few Porn scenes from my previous life, along with a lot of faces too. So, yeah.. 3D Porn baby.
Sighing, I drop the fish down on the table, and start preparing it for tonight's dinner.
I don't know how long it's been on Earth, since I just.. stayed on Donna. The days here are 30.6 hours long, and a complete revolution around the Star takes the planet 730 days. I counted, while frequently visiting space to see if it's back in it's original position.
I did originally calculate it by measuring it's angular velocity, but I still took physical readings to confirm it. My Engineering background did come to help me after all.
So, yeah. It's been 30 of these Years, since I've been to Earth. Using my highly intelligent brain, and basic Math I can now tell that it's been 76.5 Earth Years. Damn, I'm old now.
I stop cutting into the fish, and gasp in horror. "I'm not 205! I'm bloody 251 years old! Damn, I've got to be the oldest Virgin ever!"
Now furiously cutting the fish, but taking care not to mess it up, I begin making plans of going to Earth for a while. I know of a few bars that cater to Gods and Demigods. I'll probably find someone to have fun with there.
I'm not settling down. Not yet anyway. I died a virgin last time, I want to have as much variety as possible before settling down. Probably with a Goddess.
Although, I wouldn't mind Demons either. They've got to be more exciting bed partners.
"Nah." I mumble, shaking my head. No way in hell- heh- I'm losing my V-card to a Demon. That's a bad idea. The Demon in question will definitely get a power boost by that.
What if the Demon is super attractive though, like those Anime girls? Shaking my head, I focus back on the fish, and then stop, and look at the door.
Frowning, I open the door, and ask, "Do you have some connection to my mind? I was just thinking about coming to Terra."
Mother just chuckles, not bothering to ask how I knew she was at the door, and says, "Thankfully, no. I don't want to know what goes on in my hormonal son's mind. I actually did not come here just to chat."
Mother did visit me a few times during my stay here. She still had her connection to this planet. In the beginning, she came here once a year, but slowly, she decreased her visits so much, that this visit of hers was after 5 Earth Years of radio silence. Which I was thankful for.
While I love my mother, it felt like she was still looking over my shoulder all the time. So, this extra space she gave me was appreciated.
Motioning towards the couch, I go back to filleting the fish, and ask, "So, what brings you here?"
Mother frowns at the fish, not liking me eating animals, but doesn't say anything about it. Instead, she says, "I was approached by Ra yesterday." She said Ra, not Atum, which means he came in the guise of the Ennead Skyfather, and not her son.
Seeing me pause in my actions, and widen my eyes, mother adds, "He asked me to tell you something. That they're calling the favour in."
I sigh, already having expected it. With a snap of my fingers, the fish gets separated into small horizontal pieces. While preparing the masala I was going to cover the fish with, I ask, "Did he say anything about my theft?"
I had prepared a paste to roll the fish in, using Chilly powder, garlic, turmeric, and salt. This will give the actual taste to the fried fish.
Mother chuckles, and says, "He did say something about it." And watches me roll the fish in the chilly powder mixed with granulated wheat, which I'd made myself after a lot of trial and error.
Forgive me alright, I knew what I wanted, but I did not know what Rava was actually made from. So I had to literally try granulating every type of grain I had, and taste it before I found wheat.
"He said you'll have to pay for it some other way. What are you doing?" Mother asks, getting curious about my preparations.
Smiling at mother, I explain, "This is Rava. I made it by grinding hard wheat. I didn't grind it too finely, like we did while making powdered wheat. But kept it rough on purpose. This paste was made using red chillies, turmeric, garlic and salt."
"Fascinating." Mother mumbles, looking me start frying the fish in oil.
Seeing her look reluctant, I mention, "You don't have to taste fish if you don't want to mother. You can also fry potatoes using this same mixture. First soak the potato slices in this paste, then roll it in the granulated hard wheat, and then fry on a shallow pan. Easy as anything we've ever done."
Mother has a twinkle in her eyes, as she does love potatoes, and I could see her smelling the fish and realizing that the potatoes might just taste good.
Shaking her head, she says, "Well, I might try this.. fried potato chips some another time. I'd like it if you come to my house within two days. And prepare for a fight."
I nod, and say, "I'll be there tomorrow, mother. You can tell Ra that I'll visit the mountain sometime in the evening tomorrow."
Mother nods, gives one last look at the frying fish, and teleports out, going directly to Earth.
Chuckling, as I know that mother is most definitely trying to make the fried potato chips as soon as she gets home, I return to looking over the frying fish.
Well, time to visit Earth once again, I suppose.
