When Odin saw the light of the morning—
he let out a slow sigh.
Then he looked once more at the small child in front of him…
who still hadn't learned how to speak.
He said coldly:
"If you dare…"
"and play like that again with Poseidon—"
He paused for a moment…
thinking quickly.
Then continued:
"I will forbid you from moving in Asgard."
"You will stay in your place… forever."
The child's eyes widened in shock and fear.
Then he began to cry—
tears of molten lava flowing from his red eyes.
He started crawling toward Odin.
Odin looked at him—
and mocked him, saying:
"Don't crawl now."
Then he added coldly:
"I know you can walk."
"I've seen you before."
"And I'm the one who taught you."
Then he looked at him sharply:
"Don't try to deceive me… and don't pretend to be innocent."
The child stopped…
thinking.
Trying to understand.
But before he could do anything—
Odin raised his gaze to the sky and said firmly:
"Do not play with Poseidon like that again."
Then he added:
"You know the consequences very well."
And suddenly—
he disappeared silently.
The child stood there, confused.
Was he allowed to move?
Or was he truly being punished?
He couldn't understand.
So—
he lay down where he was…
and decided to wait.
Until Odin returned—
and told him what he should do.
Meanwhile—
Odin quickly moved to the village.
In a short time—
he arrived.
But what he saw…
was strange.
Poseidon was there—
dragging Hades and Athena by force…
making them walk.
Odin approached slowly—
and listened.
Poseidon was saying excitedly:
"Come on! Let's go!"
"We have to get to Odin before he changes his mind!"
Then he added:
"I'll explain on the way!"
Odin looked in surprise—
then instantly appeared beside them.
He said, with a mix of calmness and curiosity:
"What are you doing now, brother?"
Then added with slight sarcasm:
"Have you started dragging your siblings into chaos instead of the children?"
Poseidon immediately turned—
and with great excitement let go of his siblings—
and grabbed Odin's hand.
He said quickly:
"Odin! There you are!"
"Come on—tell them what you told me!"
Odin looked at Hades and Athena—
who had just fallen to the ground.
As soon as Poseidon let go of them—
they lost their balance and fell.
Poseidon looked at them in confusion and said:
"What are you doing on the ground?"
Then added:
"I know you didn't like being dragged like that…"
"But don't act like children!"
Then he pointed at them:
"Come on, get up!"
He added excitedly:
"Odin is here! He'll explain everything!"
Then he looked at Odin and said:
"Right?"
Odin sighed in mild annoyance—
and looked at his siblings.
Before he could speak—
Athena beat him to it.
She stood up, dusting herself off—
and said angrily:
"This better be important, Odin."
Then she pointed sharply at Poseidon:
"This annoying idiot came while I was sleeping—"
She added:
"Entered my room…"
"And dragged me out of my bed like a barbarian!"
Hades nodded as he got up—
brushing dust off his clothes—
and said with irritation:
"Yes, Odin… what is going on here?"
Then he looked sharply at Poseidon:
"And why is this idiot so excited?"
He added coldly:
"He said it would take time… and that it's better if you explain."
Then he stepped closer and said:
"And now you're here…"
"So either you explain—"
He paused for a moment before adding with a light threat:
"Or we might accidentally kill Poseidon."
Odin looked at Hades and Athena—
and saw the clear anger on their faces.
He sighed and said:
"Alright… alright, I'll tell you—"
But before he could continue…
a voice came from behind him:
"Good morning, Odin… are you busy right now?"
Odin turned.
And saw Forn.
But—
he paused for a moment.
Surprised.
Forn…
looked different today.
More beautiful… noticeably so.
Athena looked at her in surprise and murmured:
"It seems she took care of herself today…"
Then she narrowed her eyes slightly.
She felt something strange.
In an instant—
she turned quickly to Hades, who was about to speak…
and to Poseidon in front of her.
Then—
she suddenly grabbed both of them!
Before they could protest—
she disappeared with them.
But before vanishing—
she quickly said:
"No, no… Odin is not busy!"
"We were just leaving!"
Odin looked surprised—
then understood what happened.
He turned to Forn—
and smiled.
Then said gently:
"It seems you grow more beautiful every time I see you."
Forn's face turned red—
and she said shyly:
"Stop joking, Odin…"
Then added in a soft voice:
"I'm not that beautiful… you're a very bad liar."
Odin chuckled lightly and said:
"Really?"
Then he looked at her confidently:
"Has no one ever told you how beautiful you are?"
Forn shook her head and said:
"No…"
Then added quietly:
"No one has ever told me that before."
"They were afraid of me…"
"And even when they got close—"
"They only talked about politics."
Odin paused for a moment—
then said, surprised:
"It seems they were truly fools."
Then he smiled and added:
"How could they not see the beauty in front of them?"
"Do they not have eyes?"
Forn laughed softly—
trying to hide her embarrassment.
Then she looked at him and said:
"Would you… like to take a walk with me, Odin?"
Odin smiled—
and said warmly:
"Why not?"
Then added lightly:
"Can I refuse a request from someone as beautiful as you?"
