Just like the last time I'd left Donna to go to Earth, I put up wards that would protect the planet in my absence, by Hiding it. If someone, somehow, manages to find the planet, I'll be notified immediately.
Done with the Wards, I place my enchanted Axe on my back, and teleport to Earth, mother is probably waiting for me.
Vibranium, is not a metal that can be enchanted easily.
When it comes to Magic, Vibranium is a One-hit-wonder. You can only use it once, to enhance any spell you want to use, doesn't matter what. But, once the spell is cast, the metal disintegrates into useless dust. Even if I use it to turn a simple Light spell into a High Intensity Light spell, it'll still disintegrate.
So, I did not bother using Vibranium for my axe. Or more accurately, I did not use only Vibranium. What I did instead, was use Gold, which is second only to the Divine Metals, and the bones of Divine Beings, when it comes to Magical Absorption.
I was not a blacksmith though, so I had to use my Cosmic Energy to shape the axe. Sharpening, I did by my own hands.
First, I melted enough Gold to make up my Axe, enchanted it to be durable, and imbued it with my Magic until it was full. Then, I used my echolocation as guide, and mixed just the right amount of Vibranium, until the alloy was magically stable.
Yeah, it felt weird even while I was doing it. I can see the Magic in things, so the enchanted Gold was completely visible to me. But, since Gold is extremely soft, I had to add Vibranium, to give it toughness.
As I added the melted Vibranium, drop by drop, I could see the Magic in the Gold getting unstable, thanks to the Vibranium, and almost gave up, when finally, the Magic became stable. One drop, turned a mixture of melted Gold, and melted but still separate Vibranium, into a complete and fully mixed alloy of Gold and Vibranium.
The ratio of Gold to Vibranium, being 20:1. Yup, my Battle axe was more gold than Vibranium. And also, yup, it was a complete accident.
And then, I used my Matter Manipulation, and changed the shape of the melted GV alloy, into a proper axe. After that, I polished the axe myself, by hand, and gave it sharpness, and further began enchanting it.
I made it sharper, more durable, and a reflective surface for Magic. The Vibranium will definitely help in the last, making it so that I can use it as a Shield too.
The final product, after 7 days of working on it, (which wasn't much, but of those 3 days I was just sharpening it), was a two bladed Axe, heavier than a pure Vibranium Axe of the same size.
It's blades were as big as my head, while it's handle, made of the same GV Alloy, was 3 feet big. It looked Gold in colour, with no hit of Vibranium present. It was an alloy, you know.
I can't use it like Thor can use his hammer, not even close, but I can cut with it. My enchantments meant that it won't break easily. It'll probably take a hit by another Divine Weapon to break it.
But, what're the odds, that I'll fight another God so soon? Plus, this isn't even my final weapon. This is just so I can fight with something other than my fists, and my Magic.
Plus, out of the weapons I've mastered, I'm far more comfortable using an Axe, than any other. Despite not being in the list of 6 weapons I've learned, a Pole Axe would be something I would be comfortable using too. Alas, I haven't learned to use it yet, so I'm going to stick to my Axe.
Appearing in the clearing near my mother's house, which a couple centuries ago, used to be my own house, I smile, taking in the Magic surrounding me.
Despite Coming from the same source, Mother, the two planets had completely different feels to the Magic around them. While Earth was chaotic, but homely, Donna was peaceful, but lonely.
Smiling wide, I almost skip towards my mother's house. I was back on Earth, and nothing was stopping me from checking out the Divine Bars, to drink Divine Wines, and taste Divine lips of some sweet Gods.
My old self is probably feeling Blasphemous, right about now, but Theos is far from caring now. Sure, I won't think like that about the Daevas, I'm not that disrespectful, but other Gods? I actually am that disrespectful.
Mother opens the door, looking amused by my eager look, and says, "I don't think this happiness is because of meeting me, is it?"
I wink at my mother, and pick her up, spinning her around. I exclaim, "Mother! How much have I missed your presence!" dropping her down, as she begins chuckling, I add, "Nature is beautiful, mother, and I am in an amazingly good mood!"
Nothing can bring my mood down now, I was finally going to get laid! Well, if all goes well that is, but who am I kidding? I might not be a Greek God, but I can definitely smooth talk one girl.
"Great. Now you can pay me back for the Metal you stole from me." A voice that is definitely not mother's says.
Turning to the leisurely sitting Ra, I ask, "Why must you bring the mood down with your nagging, brother? This is a momentous occasion! Me, my brother, and my mother! Finally under the same roof!"
Feeling a slap on the back of my head, I yelp, and glare at mother, who says, "Enough theatrics, Theos. Ra is here so you can help him out. You owe him, remember?" I also hear her mumble, 'I should definitely do something about his mental issues.' But I ignore it.
Sighing, I calm down from my jubilation, and turn serious. It's been nagging me since last night. What is the purpose of Ra calling the favour in now? Why now? He could have called it in any time in the past, but he has a specific purpose for me, but what is it?
Ra waves his hand, facing his palm upwards, and conjures an illusion of a facemask. I remember seeing it in one of my visions, but since it did not get a bigger role in them, I pushed it in the back of my mind.
Ra starts explaining, "This is the Third Eye of Horus. As the name suggests, it belongs to Horus, the God of Sky, and is used by him to keep an eye on the Mystical creatures that live on Earth, but away from the physical plane."
"What- like the Astral Plane? Because I've been to the Astral plane, but haven't seen any Mystical creatures there." I interrupt, because my Cosmic Energy should have seen if there was something there, shouldn't it?
Ra shakes his head, while mother says, "What Ra is speaking of, is not the Astral Plane. It is a Plane that's aligned to ours, but isn't the same. Gods just call it the Shadow Realm, because not even Ra, the Sun God can see them. Only a few Gods, Horus among them, can see into this Shadow Realm, and even then, they have to use some sort of Mystical Item."
Ra takes over for her, and says, "The Shadow Realm is not important here. The creatures might be invisible to us, but they pose no danger. They're completely mortal, if long living. The main issue is, what else can the Third Eye do."
Ra pauses, dramatically, and he had the gall to call my theatrics dramatic. Well, he didn't say it, but he definitely thought it. I could see it on his face.
A few seconds later, he says, "The Third Eye was created by me, long before Horus was even born. I made it, so I can be warned of breaches between the Realms. But, to do that, I needed to stay hidden from all the other Gods. Which is why, I added an enchantment to the Third Eye. With one thought, the wearer can become completely invisible to all the Divine senses, and become invisible to each and every God that came because of my actions."
"Which basically encompasses the hundreds of Pantheons we have. Great. Please tell me the Eye is safe, and you just want to gift it to me?" I plead, because the alternative is too dangerous if true.
Sighing, Ra breaks my heart, and says, "No.. The Third Eye was stolen, 25 years ago, by another God. I just don't know which one."
SMACK!
That was the sound of me palming my face, as I realize what the favour is. Hesitating, not wanting to believe it to be true, I ask, "You want me to find it, don't you?"
Looking me right in the eyes, Ra says, "Yes. The Thief stole from my Pantheon, and almost killed Horus, so it's only fair that another thief try to bring it back. Besides, you owe me a favour.. brother."
I scowl at him, thinking some choice words about him, but say, "Where do I even start? You don't know who this thief is. You don't know where they're going. Hell, you don't even know if it's one thief, or more! I don't even know where I'll start with this blind hunt."
Ra smirks, and asks, "You didn't think that was all, did you?" without giving me a chance to answer, he continues, "The Thief did not just steal from us. Such thefts have already happened in almost all other Pantheons. Divine Weapons, Mystic Items, and Divine fruits. Some Gods even lost their Divinity to this thief."
"Huh?" I ask, remembering something from the last time I was on Earth and used Echolocation for the first time. I still ask, "How long ago did the thefts start, and what was stolen?"
"It's been going on for 500 years. Most of the weapons the thief stole were found again, discarded or broken, within a few years. But, including the Third Eye of Horus, there's still 4 weapons missing." Ra explains, still as calm as before.
I know, I should probably ask, that if it's been happening for so long, why haven't they done anything about it, but I already know what the answer is going to be. "It wasn't my problem, then."
I sigh, as I realize that I was right. I probably encountered this thief before. The last time I used Echolocation, I remember seeing a God who had 7 Divine weapons on him. I did not think too much on it, but now, I know I was wrong.
I'm definitely not mentioning that part to these two. I don't know if Ra knows of my Celestial heritage, and even if he does, he'll blame me for not stopping the thief at that time.
Still, curiosity in my mind, I ask, "What is still missing?"
Ra nods dutifully, knowing that every detail helps in quests like this, and says, "The Swords of Ares and Neit, the War Gods of Olympus and Avalon; the Third Eye of Horus; and the Pinaka, a Divine bow of Vedic God Shiva."
Well.. fuck. Looks like my deep wish of never meeting Hindu Gods is going to not come true after all.

A/N: Something about Celestial Strengths. I'm making it in my fic, so that the physical strength of a Celestial is variable, but in a constant ratio.
If a normal, 2 meters tall Celestial can lift 100 tons, then the 20 meters tall Celestial can lift 1000 tons, and so on. This also makes it so that the punching power is dependent on the size of the Celestial, and not fixed.
For this to work, I'm also making it so that the Physical density of a Celestial stays the same, no matter the size. But, since Theos is the only Celestial with an actual physical body, and not just Energy within the Armour, it only applies to him.
Which means, that he does not increase or decrease the distance between the atoms in his body, he simply adds more atoms to fill up his body, granted that is only when he uses his Size changing power.
That's all. Tata!
