š Scene ā A New Birth in Asgard
Odin suddenly looked toward Hades' houseā¦
His eyes narrowing slightly.
Then he said to himself:
"Soā¦ the child has been born."
In an instantā
He disappeared.
Leaving the children playing behind him.
He appeared in front of Hades' houseā¦
Then spoke calmly to whoever was inside:
"How did it go?"
Hades stepped outā¦
He had grown larger than before, though still smaller than Odin.
He smiled and said:
"It went well."
"The child has been born."
Odin let out a light laugh:
"Well done, brother."
Then he looked at him with a sly expression:
"Butā¦ why did you choose that dwarf specifically?"
"If you had told meā¦ I could've brought you any woman you wanted."
Hades shook his head, smiling:
"No, Odinā¦"
"That dwarf possessed a terrifying talent in crafting weapons."
"I thoughtā¦ if I had a child with herā¦"
"He would inherit her talent for forging weapons and magical artifacts."
Odin fell silent for a momentā¦
And remembered.
That dwarfā¦
Whom he had ordered his ravens to kidnap years ago from the dwarven kingdomā¦
To forge weapons for them.
And after she finishedā
He had intended to let her live peacefully in Asgard.
Butā
Hadesā¦
Surprised him.
He married herā¦
And had a child with her.
Odin sighed lightly:
"Honestlyā¦ youā"
But before he could finishā
"You idiot!"
He turned.
Forn was standing behind himā¦
Holding a small child in her arms.
She said with clear annoyance:
"Why did you do that?!"
"That dwarf was the only one helping me on this island!"
Odin looked at herā¦
Then at the childā¦
And laughed:
"How are you, my wife?"
"I haven't seen you since morning."
"Where have you been?"
Forn shook her head, laughing tiredly:
"Your first child won't let me rest!"
"He's very mischievous!"
"I can't handle him alone, you need toā"
Butā
The door suddenly opened.
Athena stepped out holding a newborn baby and said with a smile:
"I've given birth to a boy."
Hades laughed happilyā¦
And immediately took the child from her:
"This childā¦"
"Will definitely become the best blacksmith in Asgard!"
Forn lifted her own child and said sarcastically:
"He won't surpass my son, you idiot."
Hades looked at her coldly:
"There she isā¦ the annoying woman speaking again."
Before the argument could beginā
Something shattered behind Odin.
Everyone turned.
There stood a young boyā¦
Covered in bloodā¦
Panting heavily.
He looked at Odin with shining eyes and said excitedly:
"Father! Father!"
"Has the child been born?!"
"Let me hold him!"
Forn froze in place.
Then shouted angrily:
"Where were you, you little one?!"
"And why is your body covered in blood like that?!"
The child shouted carelessly as he wiped the blood from his face:
"Don't worry, Motherā¦ I was just hunting."
Forn looked at him in extreme frustration, then turned to Odin:
"Look at your child!"
"He's still youngā¦ and he goes hunting on an island full of monsters!"
Odin laughed calmly and looked at his son with pride:
"Don't worry, Fornā¦"
"This child has been strong since he was little."
"In fact, stronger than any child ever born in Asgard."
"He won't be harmed by a few insignificant creatures."
Suddenlyā
A burst of laughter came from behind.
Poseidon had just arrived, laughing:
"Congratulations, brother!"
"This new childā¦ is it a boy or a girl?"
Forn looked at him coldly and said:
"And if it's a girlā¦ is that a problem?"
Poseidon froze for a momentā¦
Then looked at herā¦ then at Odinā¦
And suddenlyā
He fled, waving his hand:
"Goodbye, brother! I just remembered I have something important to do!"
Odin looked at him in annoyance:
"Cowardā¦"
Then he looked at Fornā¦
And thought to himself:
"Four childrenā¦ and the fifth has just been bornā¦ and she's still alive."
"How many children will she bearā¦ before she collapses?"
But when he looked at his eldest sonā¦
He smiled.
"If all her children are like this boyā¦"
"Then it's fine if she stays alive."
The child approached Odinā¦
And gestured for him to lean closer.
Odin bent down to his level:
"What is it?"
The child leaned in and whispered in his ear:
"I've awakened my powerā¦ Father."
Odin froze.
"Whatā¦?"
He raised his voice in shock:
"You've already awakened your power?!"
Suddenlyā
Silence filled the place.
They all exchanged looks.
Hades said in shock:
"But he's still a childā¦ how is that possible?!"
Athena added in disbelief:
"It's true he's physically stronger than most childrenā¦"
"But awakening power at this ageā¦ is impossible!"
Odin looked at Fornā¦
Then at the child.
And asked seriously:
"What kind of power did you awaken, my son?"
The child smiledā¦
And raised his hand.
Crack!
Sparks of lightning burst from his palm.
He said proudly:
"Lightningā¦ and thunder."
Odin's eyes widenedā¦
Then he burst into laughter with joy:
"Well done! Well done, my son!"
"You've inherited your father's power!"
Athena laughed as well:
"So today doesn't hold just one joyā¦"
"But two!"
Forn looked at her son happilyā¦
But suddenlyā
Her expression changed.
She remembered something.
She looked at Odin seriously and said:
"Odinā¦"
"Are you still not going to tell meā¦ what happened in the human empire?"
Odin fell silent for a momentā¦
He remembered what he had seen through his ravensā¦
In the continent of Mira.
The fogā¦
The deathā¦
The catastrophe.
Then he shook his head and said calmly:
"No."
He looked at her seriously:
"I will not tell youā¦"
"Until you complete your pregnancy."
"I don't wantā¦ any mistakes to happen."
