Odin came to the cave where the ravens were—
and looked inside carefully.
He saw that the five ravens were beginning to change rapidly…
so he smiled and said:
"Good… everything is going according to plan."
He raised his hand—
and fed them with his power once again…
until he felt it was enough.
Then he left the cave quietly.
He closed his eyes for a moment—
and began to observe the entire island with his spiritual power.
He could see everything…
every creature… every movement…
And when he saw his eldest son—
who had awakened the power of light—
he smiled and said to himself:
"This power…"
"is no less than the power of death or life…"
Then he let out a light laugh.
But suddenly—
his laughter stopped.
His expression turned serious.
He sensed something strange…
in the village.
"The children…"
"they are not training as usual."
In an instant—
he disappeared from his place.
And within seconds—
he arrived at the village.
He looked ahead—
and saw an unexpected scene.
The children were gathered…
standing in a large circle…
watching two children—
fighting with wooden weapons!
Odin raised an eyebrow in surprise—
and before he could speak—
he heard Poseidon's voice:
"Come… come, brother!"
"Your seat is waiting for you!"
Odin looked at him in confusion—
but he walked over…
and sat on the chair beside him.
Then he said:
"What is happening here?"
"And why this competition?"
Poseidon didn't answer.
But a voice behind Odin said:
"This competition…"
"is not for anything."
"Just for entertainment."
Then she added:
"Isn't that right, Poseidon?"
Odin turned—
and saw Forn behind him…
carrying a chair—
placing it next to him…
then sitting with confidence.
His confusion grew—
and he looked at Poseidon:
"For entertainment? Really?"
Poseidon sighed—
and looked at Odin with a strange expression.
At that moment—
Odin understood everything.
He smiled slightly—
looked at Forn, and said playfully:
"Ah… Forn."
"If you wanted to surprise me with something I like…"
"you could have just asked me directly."
Then he added with a faint smile:
"I don't like unexpected surprises."
Forn's face immediately turned red with embarrassment…
but after a moment—
her embarrassment turned into anger!
She looked at Poseidon angrily in her mind:
"How did he know?!"
"Did he tell him?!"
"Or did he figure it out himself?!"
She found no answer.
And didn't know where to direct her anger…
Suddenly—
she looked at the children…
and shouted loudly:
"What are you doing?!"
"Fight more seriously!"
"How will you become strong warriors like this?!"
The children were startled by her shouting—
and immediately became tense.
As for Odin—
he looked at her…
then laughed.
And said with light sarcasm:
"Oh my, Forn…"
"Are you embarrassed?"
"Hahaha…"
Forn looked at Odin with intense embarrassment, her face completely red, and stammered:
"N-no, Odin… I… I'm not embarrassed about anything… I—"
Before she could finish—
Odin suddenly grabbed her hand.
And said calmly:
"Forget the talking for now…"
"Let's focus on the fight."
Then he added while looking at the arena:
"I want to see who wins."
Forn's face grew even redder—
and she nodded quickly, saying in a low voice:
"Y-yes… you're right…"
On the other side—
Poseidon was looking at them with clear disgust.
And said to himself:
"My god… I feel like I'm going to throw up…"
Then he quickly turned his face away.
Suddenly—
he disappeared from his place.
Moments later—
he returned carrying a chair.
He placed it next to Odin—
and sat down.
Forn looked at him angrily—
she didn't want anyone to share this moment.
But…
Odin's hand holding hers—
completely distracted her.
She couldn't even object.
So she stayed silent—
and watched the fight…
with embarrassment… and excessive excitement.
After some time—
Hades and Athena arrived at the village.
They looked at what was happening—
then brought chairs—
and sat beside them.
They began watching the fights…
and placing bets—
just like Odin and Forn.
In the end—
the child Odin bet on won.
Odin laughed confidently and said:
"It seems…"
"you will never beat me in betting, my brothers."
Hades looked at him angrily and said:
"You only won by luck!"
"That child was about to lose!"
Odin waved his hand dismissively:
"It doesn't matter what happens during the fight…"
"what matters… is the result."
Athena looked at Forn and said annoyed:
"And why did you bet on the same choice as Odin?"
"Do you trust his judgment that much?"
Forn stayed silent…
and looked at Athena with embarrassment.
Because Odin… was still holding her hand.
But she gathered her courage—
and said:
"I just trusted his judgment… that's all."
Poseidon laughed mockingly as he stood up and said:
"No… no, Forn."
"It's much more than that."
Then he added with a sly smile:
"Isn't that right… oh great organizer of this event?"
Hades looked at him in shock:
"Forn?!"
"She did this?!"
"But why?!"
Before Poseidon could answer—
Athena spoke sarcastically while looking at Forn:
"Isn't it obvious?"
Then she smiled mischievously:
"She did this… for her beloved… Odin."
