The moment Forn saw the three twins, she trembled slightly, thinking to herself:
How… how can I feel afraid of girls who are still so young?
The three twins looked at Forn for a brief moment, then turned their gaze toward Poseidon and Hades and said in a strangely calm voice:
"Go to Odin, our uncles. He is waiting for you now… there is something he wants to tell you."
As soon as Poseidon and Hades heard the twins' words, they looked at each other for a moment, then turned their eyes back to Forn.
Poseidon said with a light smile:
"It seems you're lucky, girl. Not only is Odin on your side… but even the seers are as well."
And the moment he finished speaking—
the two of them disappeared from the spot.
As they moved away from the place where Odin was, Hades thought irritably:
Those twins… they have really become arrogant since our father gave them the right to interfere in any matter. They've become truly annoying.
Hades sighed angrily.
Poseidon looked at him mockingly and said:
"Didn't I tell you to stay on the side of the three twins? Look at you now, cursing your bad luck, you fool. Learn from me next time."
Then he laughed sarcastically and disappeared even faster toward Odin's location, leaving Hades behind.
Hades looked at the place where Poseidon had vanished and said angrily while following him:
"Looks like you missed my anger and my punches, you idiot!"
Far from the foolishness Poseidon and Hades were causing…
Forn was still standing in the same place.
She hadn't moved a single step.
Her mind was racing as she thought about what Poseidon and Hades had said before leaving.
So… those three twins are seers?
How can that be? Aren't they far too young?
And the moment that thought crossed her mind—
she felt something strange in the air.
Then she suddenly heard a voice appear in the place:
"Welcome again, Forn."
Forn immediately trembled and gripped her spear tightly, saying in a shaking voice:
"Who are you?! Show yourself if you're brave!"
The three twins looked at Forn with slight mockery and said:
"It seems our father was right… you really are foolish. Haven't you heard this voice before, you silly girl?"
The moment Forn heard that—
she slowly lowered her spear and said in a quiet voice:
"Is… is that your ruler?"
The three twins nodded calmly and said softly:
"We wanted to see you, Forn… and talk with you for a little while."
Then they added:
"But it seems you are not ready yet."
After that—
the three twins turned and began walking away calmly.
Before Forn could call out to them or stop them to understand what was happening—
the twins said without turning around:
"Return to the village, Forn…"
Then they added in a mysterious tone:
"The forest becomes frightening at night." 🌑
When Forn heard the twins' words, she suddenly stopped following them. She stood there for a moment, thinking about what they had said, then muttered to herself:
"Those twins… are really strange."
After saying that, she quietly left the place and returned the way she had come, heading back toward the small village that had become her home.
Far away from that place…
On a mountain whose peak had melted because of the power of the giant child during his training—
Odin, Hades, Poseidon, and Athena were sitting around a strangely shaped table.
The chairs and the table were made from the bones of massive animals, arranged in a primitive but sturdy way, as if they had been made quickly but with tremendous strength.
Athena looked around in confusion and said:
"Why did you gather us here, Odin? And when did you make these chairs and this table?"
Odin laughed softly and said calmly:
"From now on, this will be our meeting place."
Then he pointed toward the horizon and added:
"I chose it because it's far from the noise in the village… and because it allows us to see the entire island from here."
Poseidon nodded in agreement, his face still slightly red from the blow he had received earlier from Hades.
He said:
"You're right, Odin… this place would make a good meeting hall in the future."
Both Hades and Athena nodded in agreement with Poseidon's words.
When Odin saw that his choice had gained his siblings' approval, he immediately moved to the subject that had gathered them there.
He said in a serious voice:
"I gathered you here to talk about the weapon that Forn brought here… and the thing she gave me."
The moment Odin said that—
silence filled the space between the siblings.
They looked at each other for a few moments.
Then Hades said in a low voice:
"Are you talking about that spear she was holding?"
Odin nodded.
"Yes… that's the one."
Then he added slowly:
"It is a very dangerous weapon… powerful in a strange way."
Athena raised an eyebrow slightly and said:
"But I sensed your power earlier, Odin… were you trying to destroy it and failed?"
Poseidon also spoke in an unusually calm tone:
"Yes, Odin… why didn't you take the spear from Forn from the beginning? It could have been dangerous for us… or for the children."
Odin remained silent for a moment after his siblings finished their questions.
Then he smiled faintly and said calmly:
"And who told you that I left the spear in Forn's possession?"
The moment he said that—
Hades looked at him in surprise.
"But I saw it in her hand earlier with Poseidon."
Odin laughed and said playfully:
"Yes… I left it with her so she could play with it."
Then he leaned slightly forward and added:
"But in reality… the spear has already become mine."
The siblings exchanged looks again.
Odin continued:
"I can control it now… I can see through it… and command it completely."
Then he smiled coldly.
"I only let Forn keep it because I don't want her to realize that we desired the spear and actually took it from her."
Athena looked at her brother with clear surprise and said:
"Did you really take the spear, Odin? Is it that powerful? And can it withstand your power?"
Odin nodded.
"Yes… it's incredibly powerful."
Then he looked at his hand as if remembering the sensation of energy flowing through the spear and said:
"It handles my energy wonderfully… it doesn't shatter like other weapons."
He paused for a moment, then continued with clear admiration:
"It absorbs my power… stores it… and releases it when I command it."
