📜 Scene — Hiding the Truth
Forn looked at Odin with pleading eyes…
She wanted to know the truth.
To understand…
What he was hiding from her.
But Odin waved his hand dismissively and said to his son:
"Come here, my boy."
"I'll teach you how to control lightning… and thunder."
The child's eyes lit up with joy immediately…
And he ran after his father with excitement.
Athena watched them with a sarcastic look…
Then turned to Hades and said calmly:
"How is your eldest daughter… Hela?"
"I heard she's still struggling to raise her child."
Hades shook his head with a smirk:
"Yes…"
"Ever since she married Odin's eldest son, Apollo…"
"It turns out he's not fit to be a father."
"How could he leave his child… and go train without caring?"
"He's truly useless."
Athena smiled with sharp sarcasm:
"Really?"
"Is Apollo the problem?"
She stepped closer and added:
"Or is it your daughter, Hela… who isn't fit to be a mother?"
Hades' face reddened slightly, and he replied tensely:
"I don't know what you're talking about…"
"What you're saying is strange."
Athena didn't continue the argument.
Instead, she looked at the child in Hades' arms…
Then at Forn.
And said calmly, with a hint of sarcasm:
"Shall we raise this child instead of you, brother?"
"It seems that, like your daughter… you're not fit to raise children."
Hades laughed mockingly as he walked away:
"I have other children who can take care of that."
"Don't interfere in what doesn't concern you… annoying woman."
He left carrying his child…
Athena watched him go…
Then turned to Forn with a smile:
"How are you now, Forn?"
"Which month are you in?"
Forn froze slightly…
Then looked at her with suspicion:
"What did you say?"
Athena thought for a moment…
Then said calmly:
"Do you really want to know what's happening in the human empire?"
Forn nodded quickly:
"Yes… I do."
"Do you know what's happening there?"
Athena looked at the child in Forn's arms…
Then said quietly:
"You're pregnant… with your fifth child."
Forn's eyes widened in shock.
Athena continued:
"There's no need to worry about that now."
"When you give birth safely…"
"I'll tell you everything."
Forn's face lit up with happiness:
"Really?"
"You'll finally tell me?"
"Your brother hasn't told me anything for years!"
Athena smiled sincerely:
"Don't worry, Forn…"
"I consider you like a sister."
"And I don't want you to burden your heart with worry."
Then she added softly:
"When you give birth… you'll know everything."
📜 Scene — The Prophecy of the Seers
Far from them…
Inside a dark cave in Asgard…
Odin's three daughters—the seers—
Sat in silence…
Their eyes closed.
Contemplating the future.
But—
Suddenly.
They opened their eyes at the same moment.
In fear.
And spoke in one voice:
"A catastrophe…"
"A coming catastrophe…"
"Will befall us."
The three sisters sent an urgent message…
To Odin.
At that moment…
Odin was standing before his son, teaching him how to control lightning and thunder.
But—
Suddenly—
He stopped.
He felt something…
A strange call.
He slightly raised his head…
Then looked at his son calmly:
"I must leave now, my boy."
"There is something I must deal with."
"We will continue later."
He didn't wait for a response.
He disappeared.
The child looked at the place where his father had stood…
Then said casually:
"Looks like I'll continue on my own."
He raised his hand—
And began training himself in lightning…
Increasing his overwhelming physical power.
📜 Scene — The Seers' Cave
Inside a dark cave in Asgard…
Odin stood at the entrance and said loudly:
"You sent for me."
"What is it?"
The voices of the three sisters echoed from within:
"Enter."
Odin walked in slowly…
Then stopped.
Fear was clear on their faces.
His expression immediately changed:
"What is happening?"
The three seers looked at him…
And spoke in one voice:
"A great catastrophe…"
"Is approaching us, Odin."
"We do not know what it is…"
"But it will arrive soon."
Odin remained silent for a moment…
Then said calmly:
"I know…"
He looked at them seriously:
"For a long time, I have been preparing for this."
He continued in a low voice:
"I sent my ravens…"
"To the demonic continent… and the continent of Mira."
"Even into that strange fog."
"I have gathered hundreds of eyes…"
"But… until now…"
"I have not been able to determine what will strike us."
The seers looked at one another…
Then suddenly spoke in unison:
"The catastrophe…"
"Comes from the demonic continent."
They paused briefly…
Then added:
"And… from a ruler there."
Odin's gaze shifted.
In his mind…
A shadow appeared.
Snakes… moving like darkness.
He whispered:
"Is it… the Demon Ruler… Medusa?"
Suddenly—
The seers closed their eyes.
And said in one voice:
"Enough."
"We do not wish to see further."
"We have warned you."
"You may leave now."
Odin stood silently…
Then nodded slightly.
A cold smile appeared on his face as he thought:
"So… Medusa."
"The one I heard about from those foolish demons…"
He sneered inwardly:
"If she is our enemy…"
"I will find a way… to rid us of her poison."
📜 Scene — Odin's Plan
In an instant—
He gave an order.
To all his ravens…
Across the demonic continent… and the continent of Mira.
"Search…"
"I want everything…"
"About Medusa."
"Her weaknesses…"
"And her strength…"
He paused for a moment…
Then added:
"And how… she can be killed without falling to her poison."
