"They are finally here. They bit the bait" In a dark cave on the said mountain, and the target of Thor's hammer of wrath and Forseti's sword of justice, the calm voice of a man announced the coming of the Nordic gods.
"I have wanted to meet them for a long time. To think that such an opportunity presented itself." Another voice communicated with the first. Due to the dark nature of the cave, the owners of the voices couldn't be made out, even their location was a mystery. But one thing was certain. They knew whom it was they had invited. Rather, they wanted them to come. They wanted to draw the two gods here, and they had used their subordinates to do that. They showed no fear at the power that was displayed.
"Indeed. But I must admit, even I did not expect this display of strength. He certainly is very strong. And Forseti as well, his strength isn't to be underestimated either. I can hardly match up to the God of Justice, much less he whose lightning can fill the 7 he
They would even be able to challenge for the rule of a heaven. But they had been killed off before they had attained this status. They were the only gods of their race, and so they were the only ones that made it out alive. They would have argued that this is why the Asgardians sought them out, but they weren't fools to believe that. Even if they got to the stage of becoming ascenders- all of them- they would be ignorant to challenge the rulers of the first heaven. Maybe they could challenge the 3rd heaven, but not the first or the second. It wasn't because the rulers of the other heavens were weak, far from that. Although the heavens were named in numerical order, it wasn't in order of strength, but of formation. What was formed first, was given the title as the 1st, and it extended all the way through to the 7th heaven. But, the older the heaven, the deeper its foundation, and the more unity you would find among its members. This wasn't to say that the 1st and 2nd heavens were per
"Oh?" Forseti was surprised by the composure of their 'prey'. "You are too calm for someone in trouble. What is it that gives you such confidence?"Lord Dracula smiled. It was a smile that took a bit of effort due to the weight of the pressure that threatened to push him down. Instead of answering, he looked right at the man clad in lightning. No, this description was anything but apt. It wasn't a man clad in lightning, but a god commanding one of the most destructive elements of the universe."Your eyes-"Thor scrutinized the beings before him. He was angry. That was without question. But his anger hadn't robbed him of his reasoning. The eyes of those who stood before him were very familiar."Are you those that Tyr mentioned? A race of blood. What did he call you again?" Thor was still mad. But he reckoned that he could take a few seconds listening to them before he pummelled them into the ground. One might call his lack of guard against them arrogance. They wou
Dracula spoke in a hoarse voice, "If His Excellency would dispel his pressure, please allow me to show His Excellency something."Vlad gritted his teeth painfully as he listened to the person he worshipped lowering himself to beseech another. It didn't matter that it was an Asgardian. All that was important was that his master had lowered himself in such a manner towards another.'This is my fault', he thought silently. If he hadn't made the wrong decision several millennia ago, his master would not have to endure such shame. He didn't dare look to his side. For right beside him was Lilith, and her angry gaze was fixed onto him. She clearly thought the same. And she was right. Their master was only doing this to ensure the survival of their race, a necessity since he had foolishly served them up to the gods years ago."You still dare to make requests of me" Thor's baritone voice thundered as loudly as the clashing clouds themselves. The huge gale that swept thro
Dracula sighed in resignation upon realising the situation they were in. “Why would you-“ Vlad had barely started his statement when Alucard motioned for The Impaler to be silent. “Our lives are in their hands already, with or without the strings of fate binding us.” Alucard’s tone was cold, his voice stern. Vlad remained silent as the words of his young master found their way into his hard head, and etched themselves unto his brain. He may not like their current circumstance, but it didn’t change much. The only difference in their current state was that this time it was Forseti that held the ‘hammer’, not Thor.“Let them go, Lilith” Dracula waved his hand as he commanded the seductive vampire next to him. Forseti wrinkled his brows in thought, and his uncle was no diffe
Dracula nodded at his words. He wasn’t bothered that they showed no reaction to his words stating that he had some information on what they were hunting for. He was certain that by now they would have met many claiming to possess valuable information; many who were wrong.He picked a relatively comfortable rock, and sat. Lilith and Vlad picked rocks that were placed around his, irrespective of how uneven or uncomfortable they were. They were clearly displaying their allegiance to their king, showing that they would follow him no matter what. As for Alucard, he didn’t follow in their steps. The blood prince walked over to a comfortable looking rock and lifted it over his shoulders like it was a piece of dry wood, light and easy to carry. He carried it effortlessly to his father and placed it at his right side. He sat c
Thor smiled genially at the eager Dracula. Even the blood prince who was usually nonchalant and cared little for anything couldn’t hide the curious look on his pale face. The allure of truly understanding one of the seven great mysteries was enticing even for this prince.“It is. You can carry on” Thor didn’t elaborate much. He only did what they wanted. He confirmed that their information was indeed true. In fact, he was a bit surprised by how much they knew. Many high gods and ascenders knew about the object known as ‘devilstone’. Many knew that it was indeed the toughest and most impressive mineral in the universe. Many also deduced that the weapons of the most powerful of gods contained a bit of this precious mineral. Yet almost all of them didn’t truly understand its origins. It was
But now Thor and Forseti were eagerly searching for the source of the eternal flame- the Chaotic Flames. They wanted to know where the origin artefact of chaos slept. Unlike the gods, the one they wanted to gift the devilstone artefact to was young, and he wouldn’t be able to wait patiently for a hundred years. The young lord needed the weapon now. The only way to do that was to throw devilstone into the chaotic flames. Unfortunately, they had found neither the stone nor the flames. And Thor was hoping that the seemingly knowledgeable Dracula would have truly valuable information. As for the specifics of the story, he didn’t think it was necessary to disclose them. And he also didn’t bother to tell Dracula that Ananse was a she- not a he.Dracula realised that there was more to the story than he knew, but he did
It had been several years since any of the god’s heard anything about the spider god. Even the Allfather, Odin, had failed in this regard. The attempts of the one who saw all to find out the whereabouts of the spider god were unfruitful. Even after they had visited the 5th heaven, they didn’t find any information about the god of wisdom. Ananse seemed to have disappeared into thin air. But now they had found something that belonged the spider god. Even more ridiculous was that they weren’t the ones who found her- or rather a trace of her- she found them. The fact that she left something here for them was incredible. It showed her incredible foresight and ability. She was truly a sensor god, and her ‘sight beyond sight’ must have advanced to an unknown realm to let her guess so accurately what was going to happen in the future. She wasn’t a seer, neither was she a div
