Chương 22: Infinity Well, Change, and Plans
Still Frigga POV:
Finally reaching the Infinity Well, it spoke to me first.
"Oho, the Freyja Freyrdottir herself, has come to seek wisdom from me~ What a surprise. So, what is it that you seek? Asgardian goddess." it finished with a hint of sarcasm in its voice.
To which arching a brow, I respond as Lady Death ordered me. "The Mistress sent me."
Glowing slightly brighter it responds in amusement, "Ah, I see, *Soft chuckles* you have sacrificed already and seek your reward, let me check..., he, hehe, hahaha, HAHAHAHA, you seek RUNE MAGIC!? AHHH! HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN, SINCE SOMEONE ASKED FOR SOMETHING TRULY INTERESTING! FOR TRUE WISDOM!
It's always Thanos or my Mistress asking boring, ultimately useless questions, but not you my dear Freyja no, no, no. *Continues chuckling* NO, YOU SEEK THAT WHICH CAN CRUSH GODS, AND CONTENDS AGAINST THE GODS OF GODS, hehehe..., Do excuse my outburst, I have not had a challenging or rather useful inquiry in quite a long time."
Being slightly put off by the well's outburst, I recompose myself and nod at it, to show I am okay and merely wish to move on to the learning part.
It once again glows brightly and continues. "Well, what are you waiting for, Ragnarok? Jump in and become a True Asgardian Goddess, the first of many to come." It finished in a near hushed voice, but I could still hear it.
Listening to the sentient well, I jump in and see the water all around me take a rainbow glow, I see as the color and light rushed to me, when suddenly everything fades to black.

Groggily opening my eyes, I think to myself, 'What happened?' When I was suddenly assaulted by the biggest headache I have felt in my whole existence up to this point. After what felt like years, but where actually mere moments, the headache disappeared and in its place was all the knowledge the Infinity Well possessed on rune magic.
'Am I mistaken? Unless I heard wrong, then I should have to work to unseal all of this knowledge...'
Gathering my bearings, I swim my way to the shore of the well and escape its waters, after which I ask the well the same question of which I had just thought.
"Say, Infinity Well, should I not have taken a lot more time and effort to obtain all of this knowledge, or are you just that mighty?" I finish with the faintest trace of sarcasm at mimicking my husband again. The wells answer surprising me.
"Normally yes, you would need to put in a considerable amount of time and effort to unlock all rune magic, but Spectre Ouroboros' blessing proved to be much more potent than even I initially thought.
Even without being his champion and not receiving the full extent of his blessing you still managed to erase every limit placed on your talent and knowledge capacity, even while unconscious.
That just goes to show, the progress a true wise, talented, and magic oriented Vanir Goddess can achieve with the right opportunities and resources." It finished with an amused chuckle.
"So, what are your plans now Magic, Wisdom, Marriage, and Hunting Vanir Goddess Freyja Freyrdottir?"
My eyes widened in realization, I could not believe that my divinities grew so much! 'Is this the true power of the infinity well?! Or did I truly always possess such talent and potential? No, my potential and talent were most certainly higher than Odin, both Lady Death and the Infinity Well have already confirmed as such, but this much power, this fast has to be the work of Lord Spectre's blessing. It would be impossible otherwise.'
Unbeknownst to me, my forehead was now adorned with a variant version of the Valkyrie rune upholding the Algiz rune, both synchronically alternating between void black, and brilliant blue at any given moment.

Meanwhile my eyes were no longer the same either, having become heterochromatic. The right eye iris was changed for a void black triquetra in between a triangle within a hollow circle filled with alternating patterns, in the center of which triquetra lay the rune for energy and power known as Uruz embedded in the pupil.

My left eye, however, was much simpler than the right eye, having the left iris changed for a simple brilliant blue rune circle, encasing the same-colored triquetra in the center of which lay the rune for wisdom Ansuz, again embedded in the pupil.

The Changes did not stop there as I would soon come to find, that not only were my forehead and eyes runed now, but my hair turned a flawless silver, and my skin a healthy tone unmatched in all of Asgard.
Smiling like a fool, at the connection to my divinities and knowledge of runes being processed and deepened even further beyond what I thought possible every passing second. I shake my head to clear my main line of thought, and finally done gathering my bearings once more I address the well.
"Now I plan to return to my husband, recruit the Norns after informing them of their lost queen, after which I shall see whether Asgard has any more concerns needing my attention or if I could just return to this realm to look after my daughter."
"Wise choice, use that knowledge wisely young Freyja, for just as it can help build and strengthen you, it too can bring down and destroy you." It finished with a sinister chuckle, which caused me to raise a brow at the glowing well, before taking its words to heart, and using my newly acquired rune magic to go back to my husband and the Norns.
Returning just after I was taken away by Those Who Sit Above in Shadow unknowingly causing their own execution.
'If this does not shock Odin into being a faithful husband, nothing will. Nevertheless, who knows as the future and timeline is everchanging and even with rune magic I cannot see a single fixed future.'

Author here: An apology, and explanation
Long story short:
- Dealing with Patreon and Discord for the first time, making me waste a lot of time on this instead of developing chapters lately.
- I always write the chapters myself, by typing, I NEVER use ai to write, but I do use it for making images I can't find on the internet, except this time it took way longer than usual and I ended up wasting even more time finding something similar online.
- Once I have Patreon, Discord and all of that stuff figured out, chapters should start rolling out daily once again.
- Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy the story and where it is going.
