When Forn heard Hades' words—
anger ignited in her eyes.
Her face turned deeply red.
She looked at him sharply and said:
"Am I some kind of object without an opinion?!"
Then she shouted at him:
"You arrogant bastard!"
The moment Hades heard that—
he suddenly stood up from his chair, leaving his food behind.
He looked at Forn…
then looked toward Odin.
But Odin gestured with his hand, telling him to sit down.
When Hades saw his brother's signal—
he sighed angrily…
then sat back down in his chair and said coldly:
"At least… I'm not a thief."
When Forn heard that—
she shouted at him with even greater anger:
"I fought the entire empire for that spear!"
Then she continued:
"It is mine!"
She added passionately:
"I was the Crown Princess!"
Then she said sharply:
"So don't call that theft!"
She continued:
"A thief is someone who takes something that doesn't belong to them!"
Then she pointed to herself and said:
"As for me… I took something that would have been mine!"
Then she finished firmly:
"And that's different!"
Odin looked at her calmly.
Then he looked at Hades, who was about to respond.
But Odin shook his head and said coldly:
"Do not ruin this celebration."
Then he added firmly:
"You troublemakers."
He continued:
"Just because the celebration isn't for you… doesn't mean you can destroy it."
Then he said seriously:
"I will not allow that."
He pointed toward the children around the fire and said:
"This celebration is for our children."
Then he continued:
"To awaken their power… and bring them closer to the level of rulers."
He added calmly:
"We do not want to ruin this for them."
Athena looked at Odin and said:
"But all the children are here…"
Then she added:
"Except the triple twins."
Then she asked him:
"Where are they?"
Odin nodded.
"Yes… they will not come."
Then he continued:
"They are dealing with something important right now."
He added calmly:
"Let's not open that topic now."
Then he said:
"Let's celebrate."
After that—
Odin raised his cup made from an animal horn.
He looked at his brothers…
their children…
and even the unwanted guest.
Then he said loudly:
"To Asgard!"
Then he drank the juice in his cup in one gulp.
The rest of the brothers and children repeated the same cheer—
raising their cups filled with juice:
"To Asgard!"
Even Forn joined their cheer.
And the celebration continued…
throughout the night.
After a long time—
Odin raised his gaze toward the sky.
He saw that it had become very late.
So he stood up from his chair.
Then he called out loudly:
"Children!"
He added:
"Gather here!"
The moment the children heard his voice—
they quickly gathered in front of him.
They stood quietly, waiting for his words.
Odin looked at them and said:
"Today we celebrated… the awakening of some of your powers."
Then he added:
"But do not be sad… and do not be jealous."
He continued:
"Not everyone whose power hasn't awakened will become useless in Asgard."
He gestured around him and said:
"Just as Asgard needs rulers…"
Then he continued:
"it also needs warriors."
He added seriously:
"I need an army of powerful warriors."
Then he looked at them with a slight smile and said:
"And I believe… you will not disappoint Asgard."
Then he asked them:
"Isn't that right?"
The moment the children heard that—
they shouted with great excitement:
"We will not disappoint Asgard!"
Odin smiled and said:
"Then go to your sleeping places now."
Then he continued:
"It is late."
He added:
"And tomorrow… a harsh training awaits you."
The children listened to his words—
and immediately did as he said.
Odin watched them as they left the place.
After they cleaned the mess they had made during the celebration—
each child went his own way…
and returned to his home.
Odin looked at the children who were still sitting at the table and said calmly:
"And you as well… prepare to return to the forest to continue your training."
Then he added seriously:
"I held this celebration not just to make you feel important."
He continued:
"But to encourage you… to become rulers and earn a name from Asgard."
Then he asked them:
"Do you understand?"
The children nodded quietly.
Then they left the place quickly…
without looking back.
Poseidon looked at Odin suspiciously and said:
"Why did you hold this celebration, Odin?"
Then he added:
"You know the children didn't want it in the first place."
He continued:
"They preferred returning to their training instead."
Odin looked at him calmly and said:
"They were thinking too much about becoming rulers."
Then he continued:
"And I wanted to calm them down a little."
He added:
"Haste is not the solution."
Then he said:
"The solution is calmness… discovering your potential… and understanding your power."
Hades nodded and said:
"You're right, Odin."
Then he added:
"Children these days rush into everything they do."
He said sarcastically:
"As if that's how they'll become rulers."
Forn looked at them in confusion and asked:
"And after they become rulers… will they become stronger?"
Odin looked at her and said:
"Of course they will become stronger."
Then he continued:
"After that… they will no longer need to use ordinary weapons."
He added:
"They will only use special weapons."
Then he said seriously:
"Because their energy will become enormous and terrifying."
Athena continued Odin's words and said:
"But that is also a little annoying."
Then she continued:
"We always use our power in combat…"
She added proudly:
"Even though our physical strength surpasses even the strongest giants and creatures."
Poseidon laughed and said:
"Don't worry, Athena."
Then he added jokingly:
"When we become stronger… maybe we'll be able to create our own weapons."
Then he continued:
"Or perhaps one of our children or grandchildren will create them."
He added:
"They might gain that ability."
Athena looked at him and said:
"Really?"
Then she asked sarcastically:
"And which of our grandchildren do you think will have that ability?"
Poseidon looked at the sky…
and said in a serious voice—yet sarcastically:
"That is something…"
Then he continued:
"I will leave for the future… to reveal to you, my brothers."
Hades laughed from the bottom of his heart and shouted:
"Well done! Well done, Poseidon!"
Then he said while laughing:
"You did it exactly the way our father does!"
Athena, Forn, and Odin looked at them in confusion and surprise.
Athena sighed while looking at Odin and said:
"They're fools, Odin… they don't know—"
But she suddenly stopped.
Because she saw that Odin himself had begun laughing at what Poseidon had done.
Athena looked at Forn…
and saw the same surprise on her face.
Forn had thought Odin would be annoyed by Poseidon's behavior.
But his reaction surprised her…
just as it surprised Athena.
Athena and Forn looked at each other.
Then they sighed together and said:
"Ah…"
"They're men."
