Tour and discussions

The crowds watched in surprise to see Freyja join Damian. The children rushed up to smooth Athena who was already a mini celebrity because of her clumsiness and going to the nearby stalls for food however the parents pulling them away glaring at Freyja she explained, “It’s okay, I won’t hurt them. If anything the South in only an hour have shown more respect to me then any of the North ever did” Damian nodded to the children who returning to the stumbling beast Freyja laughed upon seeing his reaction to it, “Damian, it’s nice to see you again!” the couple from the nearest stall greeted and shaking their hands Damian checked, “Gilly and Dan right?” they nodded pulling his hand to stop him from moving, “We said we would get you something to thank you for helping with Ares!” “He was being overbearing and applying unnecessary pressure on your daughter” they opened a crate to reveal a cape and quiver, “Nice quiver. Cape not quite my colour though” “We thought maybe Hera could have it…” he examined it before putting it around Freyja explained, “Why not show it off to the North, you are probably the best stitcher in Elysium” “It’s… it’s soo smooth!” Freyja exclaimed and thanking her Damian explained, “This is the human quarter, a nice place to start because they distrust the Isu just as much as the North” “You seem to be a hero to them” “Yeah, I tend to help them out when the Isu get too pushy because I do good things for them and have power over the other Isu they know it’s a good idea to keep me happy or at least not annoy me. I’ll show you the Isu area next, you can meet some of the nicer Isu and with hope no Zeus. Then we’ll stop off at my idea land and you can meet the others” “Others? What others?” “The land I have envisioned you to live on is an vast empty area between Elysium and Hades’ realm, this land also has the female Titan’s, so the group of original Isu who used to communicate and trade with the North before Zeus took over” “And submit to their rule?” “No, technically it’s mine but my idea is to have one from each side discuss issues and I’ll give the final nod. Trust me Phoebe and Rhea are nice people” “I’ll meet them, nothing more!” “Anyway after that, I’m thinking we get you a meal and sort out your sleeping arrangements” “I have some…” Damian nodded before throwing a nearby knife at the shadowy alleyway explained, “Odin has sent more…. I can tell by the Aesir smell. Don’t worry I have an plan and I’ll make Odin pay for this; but for now. How about meeting a good friend of mine?”

On the way he pointed out the numerous sights and features of Elysium but despite his reassurances Freyja couldn’t help but feel uneasy when they drew near the Isu quarter. “Damian, what are you doing here?” Artemis questioned following her lecture once again to Hades about letting his hounds loose in her land and looking to the side Artemis nodded when Freyja stopped near him, “Nice to see you too Artemis!” “I’m sorry Damian, it’s just… Hades’ hounds again! Freyja it’s nice to meet you, I’m Artemis the Isu of the Hunt. As the title states I keep the animals in order and how’s the runt Damian?” “Still getting used to her legs” Freyja nervously replied unsure if she should bring herself into the conversation and laughing Artemis replied, “Remember this Freyja, Athena is going to take down a Minotaur when it’s older. Can’t see how!” “I brought Freyja to see you because I wanted to prove that not all you higher ups are as bad as she thinks but you just have to ruin that will the picking on the defenceless” “Just for calling me “Higherup Isu” I’m going to smoother her with kindness; you know I hate being linked to them” Damian laughed slapping her back before turning her attention to Freyja Artemis explained, “Honestly Damian won’t put you in a position where you are talking to an asshole of an Isu” “No; you, Nyx, Hades, Persephone since she will hopefully be living between them both. Hermes and maybe Apollo if he promises not to make a song on it” “You know my dearest brother is going to one way or another… but good calls. Just don’t sleep with Zeus because that’ll piss Hera off, ignore Dionysius, Zeus and Adonis advances” “Oh yeah, Aphrodite as well!” Damian remembered with Artemis agreement of, “Definitely” “Why’s that?” Freyja wondered to which Artemis explained, “She is the Southern Isu of Beauty and sex… she thinks she is the most beautiful person here until she tried to seduce Damian. He told her she isn’t that good looking and called her a whore when she wouldn’t relent. You are sort of the same role as her just in the North even though you do fight… she’ll just get jealous of you being near him” “Is she always like that?” Damian nodded before justifying, “To be honest, you are very attractive and someone I would definitely partner with” “Aaah but if she doesn’t like it, I’ll knock her head into the floor” “A bit unfair because she can’t fight for shit. The amount of time and children with Ares and she hasn’t learned anything!” Artemis snorted in laughter before raising her finger to indicate he has missed someone, “Hephaestus… come on, he isn’t that bad” “No, actually a good shout. Get past his ugly mug and you’ll be fine. Just don’t mock him or his marriage to Aphrodite. He makes all my gear!” “He can’t be that bad…” “Maybe not to you considering you have a Jormungandr; Artemis a giant snake…” “I know, I saw it with you once; I fed it all my excess cull of the animals; he is actually placid, just clumsy. Where you going next?” “Maybe to Persephone’s temple since it’s nearest” “Nah Nyx is at the bar with Hermes and Athena, come on get a drink with me…” he looked at Freyja who shrugging asked, “If we can find a quiet spot; it’s been a while since I’ve had people who weren’t trying hurt or kill me to talk to” and picking Athena up Damian grumbled, “Well hop to it Artemis!”

The trio walked in and throwing the drunken Isu to the floor the drunk immediately backed away when he saw who it was that had done it. Nyx laughing at the drama grabbed the nearest tankards and offering to the trio greeted, “You must be Freyja, I’m Nyx the bestest friend of Damian and this is Hermes whose more of an fatherly friend” “A Northerner? At least it’s one of the good one’s” “Good? Isu and good?” Nyx poked, “Vanir are; you see Vanir actually respect boundaries and just don’t go assuming everything is there’s. Aesir and the others are twats” “Always thought Zeus was a more stupid Odin” Damian grumbled to the cry of laughter from the Patrons who joining in the greeting Freyja asked, “A crowd favourite?” the nearest human shook his head before offering her a tankard explained, “He has always done us right. If there is an issue Damian will fix it sometimes even for free” “If you were treated unfairly I make it up to you guys” “Unless it’s Zeus, Ares or Dionysius” “To be honest they are all asses the only difference is Zeus’ my father so I have to cut him some slack… without him being horny I wouldn’t be here. But enough of that drinks on Hermes and Freyja welcome to the South!”

Several drinks later and laughing at the stories she had heard finished her 8 tankard off laughing at how weak the drink was in the South, “So wait Hephaestus actually caught them in the act? And threw a net over them?” “Yep; to be fair he did have a suspicion before and Zeus’ response was “She’s your wife; you do something about it” so he did and humiliated them by letting them be caught by every god in sight. Apparently Ares had to pay a lot to get free; damage was done though all three were made out to be an embarrassment and Aphrodite was pregnant with Ares’ children. A “divorce” took place but not before Hephaestus took one final piece of revenge with the necklace of Harmonia” “Yeah that piece of danger” Artemis grumbled, “What is it?” “Brilliant craftsmanship that curses the owner and anyone around it. Should’ve given it to Ares to be honest; if anyone impregnated my lover I would make them play” “A bit unfair considering your wife would also be to blame…” Athena challenged secretly enjoying the time she could being next to him and getting closer then any of the others cared; something usually she was banned from. “Like I said make them pay. Hera was bitch about it though. Every year they have an celebration about the event and reenact it so people can laugh. Hephaestus is still mocked whilst Ares and Aphrodite gets made out to be the hero comedy act.” “I was thinking that… Hephaestus should have made them pay tickets to see the two caught in the first place if it was soo funny” Freyja explained and trying to explain it from Hephaestus point of view explained, “How would you feel in his shoes? Imagine you are married to…Hermes and you don’t get particularly on; he thinks you are ugly and instead sleeps with Athena because she’s “younger and more beautiful”, you catch them and chain them to a rock. You tell your father that you’ve caught them and want to punish them further but he instead of granting it brings all your family over to laugh at them and you for letting it happen…” “Aahhh, hurt. I would have made them pay.”

“He did, the golden throne for his mother” Athena explained “Yes… I get she was an bitch but she hated Hephaestus just as much as she hated Ares” Damian laughed, “I thought it was revenge for what her throwing him out of Olympus?” Hermes questioned but shaking his head Damian explained, “The first time it was. This time Hephaestus was smarter and trapped Dionysius as well in a unbreakable keg” “When was this? I haven’t heard this one!” Nyx listened in, “None of you heard it? Well buckle in and listen. Hera planned on a actual reenactment of the scene where all would be included, Hephaestus hated it and replaced her throne once again, one day when she was busy with the preparations sat down and realised the mistake. You see Freyja, only Hephaestus can free her; an insurance policy to mean he can’t be cheated. No Dionysius this time so Apollo, Persephone, Aphrodite practically everyone tried to convince before they let me; his actual friend talk to him. Over a few drinks he explained why and I understood why he did it. He wanted the festival to stop and compensation. I promised to help and brought him to Olympus” “I thought seeing how it went before he would have avoided this” Freyja questioned and ushering her to remain silent so he could finish the story Damian continued, “Brought him there and I made her promise to end the celebrations and instead rebranded it as the annual celebration of being caught by your partner. So now the celebrations focuses on Zeus’, Aphrodites and the other gods affairs and then a few other bonuses to Hephaestus” “Like what? Is that why he lives in Hades’ world?” Hermes pondered which, Damian nodded before explaining, “I made sure they granted him permission to live with other Isu and Zeus to free Hephaestus growing relationship with a human called Iris” “Wait lover? He has someone? How?” Hermes joked and shrugging Damian explained, “She’s blind. Has been for her entire life; she actually a nice woman to be honest better most of the Isu and hybrids we have. She see’s everything through touch and knows what Hephaestus looks like by the touch of his face. She doesn’t care and even comforts him when he tells her of his past and torment; he doesn’t claim to be good but she see’s it from his point of view something I do. After freeing Dionysius he, Ares, Apollo and Zeus tried to get back at him” “Big mistake?” Freyja asked and nodding Damian replied, “Massive. Apollo and Dionysius are now crippled by my hand. Apollo couldn’t write or sing his god damn awful “art” and Dionysius can’t move or drink. He is literally an vegetable waiting to be put of his misery. Zeus after this granted Hephaestus demands and I still have my skilled forgemaster to make my gear and drink ale with. Hephaestus also did offer a peace offering. Made a pair of mechanical hands for Ares and a voice box that will sing and say what Apollo wants. Dionysius not soo lucky; this idea actually gave Hephaestus a idea to help Iris see. I gotta really visit him and see how it turned out; maybe later though. Anyway more drinks?”

“I like them, aren’t asses like most of the South” Freyja chuckled loosening up after the few drinks, “Yes, like I said we aren’t all like Zeus, granted you could fit the number who aren’t in a small room but there are some good ones” she nodded seeing how the drink hadn’t even remotely effected him but stopping Damian listened for something then pushing Freyja over the nearest stall turned around to face the group who came from their hiding spots, “Big mistake Damian go to get drinks, you trapped yourself in and we simply surrounded it. Where’s Freyja?” “Well before I tell you… at least give me your names? It’s only polite!” the group chuckled before introducing themselves, “I’m Vidar you would call god of vengeance, this Vali who is going to get that little shit Atreus and make him pay and not even that old man of an father will stop it, Heimdallr who will return to his watch with his father after helping father out and this Bragi…” “So the son’s of Odin show themselves… wait is Bragi going to fight with an harp?” “I can fight and will if I need to but father wants to hear stories of the man who is feared by the South” Damian nodded before Vali yelled, “Now hurry up and tell us where Freyja is, so I can find that kid and kill him!” Freyja looked from the thin crack but hearing everything found it almost sweetening when she heard his replies to the group, “You want me, Freyja and Loki? Well there is one big problem about that… Where Freyja is none of your business in fact that my response to Odin will be your head stuck up his Raven’s ass. Atreus or Loki… I’m not going to let you get the boy. Kratos is an friend of mine and the boy is innocent for now… so how about you get on with the fight so I can kill you and help an old friend out!” “You are outnumbered 4 gods to whatever you are… give us Freyja and maybe we will leave to hunt Atreus!” “You see that’s the problem… again mentioning the boy… he’s not MY son but I won’t let an innocent child suffer his fate at Ragnarok” “Then die!” Vali snapped attacking him. Freyja watched from her new crouching spot as Damian snapped Heimdrallr’s neck and throwing him on Bragi who watched to see Vali be met with an clean cut to his leg causing him to fall and now watch as Vidar swings were missed and Damian grabbing him by his throat spat as the black rot began to wear away at his skin, “Odin sends his sons and they can’t even fight, no wonder you lose Ragnarok. Was Thor too busy eating his own shit or something?” “Odin… he said you were just an hybrid runt” “And now you know why Zeus doesn’t even dare challenge me!” he threw the body to the floor and watching it shattered and splinter Vali leapt at him but being met by the sword of Fthorá through his chest Damian matched to Bragi and yelled, “How many more!” “I won’t tell you anything!” Damian nodded before putting his hand on the man’s chest explained, “Here’s my offer. Tell me how many more and I will kill you cleanly, don’t and I will let the rot eat you from the inside out!” his eyes widened before crying out, “There is one more ambush, the guards are waiting for Freyja to return to her lodgings! If they see her they’ll move in” “Bastards! Can’t even leave me alone in another half of the world!” Freyja snarled walking out from her hiding spot and Damian stabbing the man in the leg to stop him from bolting Damian explained, “This actually works in our favour… trust me; I have an plan and if it fails I’ll end it with Odin’s ravens eating on his own rotten carcass” “A plan what is it?” “Not in front of the harpist!” Damian borrowed Freyja’s knife and throwing it through his throat Damian explained cleaning the weapon, “Guards burn the bodies. Freyja, I’ll explain it later but my idea can make you move both freely in this land and help your own family who will now not have “an representative” to negotiate for them” “I want details, maybe over a free more drinks though” he laughed handing the knife back before leading her to the others she asked, “So what are you? Really?” “I don’t know. I was told that there was an incident which meant I had to have body pieces replaced a bear’s scent of smell, birds hearing and a mixture of a dogs and owl eyes. All joined together by an concoction made by our own Witch, Circe to make my body like Tar. Topped off with Zeus making me a god… I think there was an reaction with a few of these elements and I’m hear now. My gift is decay my curse is feeling very little. Don’t really sleep apart for the odd occasion, don’t feel pain, don’t eat much unless it’s polite to do so and drink doesn’t effect me” “More like my son than you think” “It’s why I understood his hatred but don’t respect it. He felt nothing but instead of using his gift he resented it and wasted it. I use mine to help people and do things that normal Isu and humans couldn’t. I could resent everyone for it but it doesn’t change anything. That’s why I don’t like it; maybe he hated it purely because he couldn’t get drunk and feel lust? I don’t know…. Anyway let’s go and meet your new neighbours” “Anything I shouldn’t say?” “Adonis, happily married, kidnapping and Zeus” “Okay… a weird combination” “I’ll explain on the way.”

“Got it and here I thought only the North was this complicated” Freyja chuckled walking up the glittering stone steps with Damian who opening the door for her pushed the followers to the side and stand before Persephone, who had just finished her latest meeting with Hades. “Damian it’s soo nice to see you again” Persephone called and seeing the Northern woman with him, “You must be Freyja, the woman who seeks to move her family in our lands” “It’s an honour to meet you both” Freyja responded lowering her head to nod to the monarchs, “Enjoying Elysium?” Hades questioned take a step closer, “Yes… it’s very bright her but beautiful here. I did however notice inconsistencies in your atmosphere here, something my family specialise in” “Don’t need to convince us, if Damian wants you here then that’s good enough for us” Persephone cheerily called out from her throne before getting up to greet her more warmly spoke, “Just avoid Hera for now. She’s raging that the Northern equivalent of her is here” “Equivalent?” Freyja muttered and nodding Damian explained, “Love and Fertility. Of course you also stand for war and death but Hera only focuses on the little things that effect her” “So what you are saying is: Freyja’s actually an major improvement of our current one” Hades commented pouring the drinks, “But for now let’s talk business!”

“It can be done?” Freyja questioned and nodding Damian explained, “Your family is larger than the Aesir who are now getting torn apart by Kratos but still not out of proportion. 20 members plus the children. So that results in a maximum of 10 houses at most. Then a few other buildings to reach your requirements. Simple enough” Hades nodded before mentioning, “It’s just a matter of how we would get them here without the Aesir knowing and getting in contact with them” Damian smiling stated, “I know how… Jormungandr owes a few favours, Kratos will be enough of an distraction and don’t forget the North will ending soon. I could also talk to Hela convince her to start it earlier if I must. But how do I get a message to them without Odin knowing?” “I can handle that. Vanir “technology” as you call it to make yourself invisible to any of them. I’ll get the rune engraved onto your armour and the Rune to access the Vanir’s realm” Damian nodded removing his chest piece before asking, “Zeus’ terms?” Hades shrugged before stating, “Swear allegiance to the South, which just do what the Titans did and swear it to Damian who will be considered your “ruler” apart for that probably some sort of organised marriage to someone from the South” Freyja sighed before nodding asked, “Let me guess; me again. Who to this time? Zeus? Apollo? Dionysius?” “No way. I won’t let that happen. If you have to marry someone; I’m at the very least going to make sure it’s to someone who isn’t an self absorbed arse.” Persephone lips curled in a smile seeing the position he took by her and acknowledging she was thinking something Hades stated to Freyja, “Don’t worry none of Zeus’ bastards will be your husband; Damian’s killed almost all of them already, Ares won’t because he wants Aphrodite, Hera would kill Zeus or pay Damian to do it and Poseidon’s realm keep to themselves” Persephone nodded and reassuring the Northerner explained, “Yes it will probably be one of our lot which between me and you we don’t have many bachelors available. What is it Hades? 4 maybe 5?” “Hermes, Thánatos, Charon, Hypnos and nope that’s it unless Damian is included or does your child with Hera count as her consort?” “No it does not. It just means Zeus will spend more time with her out of jealousy and leave the other women alone. Of course I will take my son away if I need to. Zeus isn’t exactly a role model of parenting” “I know you Would!” Persephone smiled warmly and seeing this combined with the other previous attempts in the earlier conversation Freyja heard Athena whisper, “I’ll explain it tomorrow. Meet me at my temple” Freyja nodded before hearing Damian excuse the group say, “It’s off to Hephaestus” “Be well you three!” Persephone once again spoke encouraging Hades nearer and Damian to shrug at her motion lead the group until being met by a loud cry, he muttered in a growl, “Asclepius.”

“Your healer?” Freyja queried checking her facts were right, “Yes, that’s me. Now let me get a look at the Northerner” “She’s not a animal to prod about with!” Damian snapped but ignoring his comment Asclepius began to examine her without any consent. Damian threw him back and landing with a large thud, Asclepius got throwing his arms in the way of Damian’s blade, “She has an acid burn on her arm from a snake and because of this poison, it’s causing her to be nauseous. Let me treat her; like I’m meant to!” Freyja nodded raising her arm out but not letting him off that easy Damian spat, “Next time ask otherwise it won’t be pretty for you!” Asclepius sighed adjusting his attire before returning to his composure explained to his patient, “I’ll take the burn out of it first, then add a bark feeling bandage mixed with the right herbs to repair the skin. In a few days it will fall off and your arm will be good as new; the sickness will pass on its own when the poison is gone. If you mind…” he hinted to Damian who throwing his hands up let them get to work.

“Going to explain how you got the wound?” Damian questioned, “I did say Jormungandr attacked. This was my the ending result” “No treat for him then” Damian grumbled and almost chuckling to herself Freyja asked, “You know him that well?” “When he is suddenly woken up abruptly, he loses his bearings; a byproduct of being asleep for so long. You can usually tell when he is going to surface by the sudden vibrations of the ground. I usually point him in the right direction. Of course then the Thor incident came” “What did that big oversized manbaby do now?” Asclepius butted in finding some amusement in the story whilst he worked, “He fights Jormungandr at Ragnarok. Thor saw his chance to kill him before Jormungandr is too powerful for him. Jormungandr dazed and confused at the time backed away, literally it was a violent tidal wave of water flooding the southern coast. He backed away far enough to now lay within our borders; meaning Thor couldn’t do shit without starting an incident” “I surprise he stopped; he hates giants of any kind!” Freyja bitterly retaliated and nodding Damian said, “He didn’t. Problem is… Jormungandr is smarter than people give him credit for. After a few times surfacing on the wrong side of the realms he knew the way to the coast; I suppose the humans worshipping him as some sort of god and feeding him helped” “Why would they?” Freyja laughed at the humans beliefs, “Well Jormungandr when he’s happy sort of flicks his tail/end of his body like a dog would; that causes a mini wave and beaches fish and other animals. Humans use it for food and they thank him. It’s an well thought out cycle that works. Anyway Jormungandr went and beached himself like he usually would for food knowing at the very least humans would help him and knew I wouldn’t be far away. Turns out I was helping humans near by so saw his panic rush to the beach. Then I saw the big baby” “What did he say?” Freyja asked putting together why he may never leave Asgard anymore, “Told me it was his foe and his hunt. I told him to get off our lands or face a fight he can’t win. He refused and I fought him. He lost but I couldn’t kill him unless starting an war with the North; so I slammed his hammer through his chest and planted what Asclepius would call a parasite” “I see… you put rot inside him that would slowly eat away from him” Damian nodded before explaining, “By time Ragnarok comes he’ll barely be able to fight and Jormungandr can go back to his waters peacefully” “And that’s it? What if he grows even bigger?” Freyja challenged showing her own prejudices against the giants, “Won’t happen. Damian asked about this and we devised an blocker or more like a shunt. He was actually willing to accept it providing he could get four elks to eat. Now his growth has been permanently shunted and we’ve implanted an reverse agent that will shrink him slightly; he fits a lot better now” Freyja nodded still unconvinced but having faith in Damian’s actions and what seemed like friendship with Jormungandr asked, “So where next?”

The duo ventured into the cave through the smoke and fires of the Forge Damian called out, “Hephaestus, you in?” a hammer slammed on the floor and jumping back Freyja took a breath to reassure herself that it wasn’t Thor and seeing this Damian pulled her closer to him in an attempt to comfort her, “Damian!!” the beard man spoke and meeting him in a hug Freyja could see what Damian meant when it came to Hephaestus’ appearance, “How is everything at the Forge?” “Great Damian, the device works and Isis doesn’t think I’m a monster!” he cheered and nodding Damian teased, “Someone’s in love!!” causing the Smith to blush before nudging him back retaliated, “Coming from the stone cold, rotten killing machine. Who’s this to cause your heart to melt?” Damian attempted to correct him but taking his hand Freyja introduced herself with, “Freyja, let’s skip the titles” Hephaestus smirked realising who stood before her but nodding to respect her position spoke, “It’s a honour, Queen of Asgard. I didn’t know the North had consented to talk to the South again” “We haven’t but I was never leave Damian, no matter who said what” Hephaestus nodded before hearing Damian’s curiosity of what his device was Hephaestus explained, “Isis see’s via a device implanted on the side of her head, it’s like a 3D image being generated in a room to us but in her case allows her to see and visualise everything” “Very shrewd Hephaestus, coming out to drink later?” “I… I should really finish the armour for Ares, maybe another time” Freyja looked at Damian who understanding what was really being said spoke, “I’ll bring a few bottles over another time” he nodded before taking their leave Damian muttered into Freyja’s ear, “Why didn’t you let me correct him?” “Just easier trust me! Who’s next?” “I think it’s time you meet Rhea and see your land.”

Damian’s horse slowed and looking out across the land Freyja was greeted by the vast land that had a lot of potential with the right people on it. The Titans had already started to build buildings but more importantly started to stabilise the environment. They walked up and seeing Rhea; the chosen leader of the Titan people turn around warmly greeted, “Damian, it’s always nice seeing you. As you can see we are fixing the land; it’s time consuming” Damian nodded and ushering Freyja forward he replied, “I’m bringing help; a family who could help; providing they have a place a to life” “Who is it?” “Vanir’s” Rhea smiled and studying the woman next to him greeted, “Freyja, it’s been a while” “Rhea? You’re Rhea… I thought you were Phoebe?! Too many Titans to remember” she grumbled and laughing Rhea welcomed her closer, “Sure your lot can join us, we need your family’s help with the atmosphere here, it’s blanketed in something but we can’t shift it” “You don’t mind us living with you?” Freyja questioned, she nodded before saying, “As long as your family remember you answer to Damian via your family’s representative then we will be fine. Just NO Aesir. I hate the pricks!” “That’s a good starting point” Freyja joked before asking cautiously in her wording, “So what happened to the Titans?” “Kronos that bastard kept “killing” his children after he heard they would overthrow us, Zeus survived and launched a rebellion, freed his siblings and rebelled, we aren’t exactly the fighting type but when you have: Ares, Athena and Artemis fighting you; you don’t stand much of a chance” “They aren’t that bad” Damian muttered, “That’s because you are built differently and Athena just crushes over you” he shrugged before saying, “I’m just saying they all have an very obvious weakness. Ares is too hot headed and impatient. Artemis is bad in close combat and Athena won’t fight “dirty.” We all know to win a fight you must try everything.”

“Queen of Asgard? How is life being bossed by Odin?” Freyja looked and sensing she touched a nerve Damian bragged, “Tried to kill me and Freyja for coming here but I took care of it. That’s how it’s going” “Fools. Anyone with a brain knows you immortal” “And Deadly, very deadly” Freyja smiled feeling his arm gently wrap around her back, “That reminds me, where am I sleeping tonight?” “Mine room, those assassin’s won’t know where it is and I can defend you if they did attack. I will send a decoy to your chambers, then my men will take the assassin’s out. We tell Zeus of what happened which involves him playing along with the story of our deaths and Zeus will get angry about it and contact Odin demanding compensation for what has happened: the death of his son and you. Odin will apologise and send compensation; Zeus is happy he got freebies for doing nothing and they will assume we are both dead” “Smart move” Rhea agreed, “And if Zeus’ lie is detected” “I go to Asgard and kill the Aesir one by one starting with the man-baby” Rhea cheered in agreement before seeing her family arrive said, “Come let’s celebrate. Don’t worry Freyja we have something actually with a kick to it.”

Hours later and grabbing her next drink Freyja turned to stand next to Rhea and watched with jealously when Phoebe was all over Damian who was becoming more and more standoffish, “Phoebe must really like him… I thought it was an fling” “He knows her?” “Slept with her for information, she then belittled Zeus in front of everyone claiming he could really go with our kind despite our size difference. I think she wants him. All academic now though” “Why’s that?” “You know why…” “Do I?” “He likes you. Damian is only hesitant or standoffish to women if he likes someone and/or they are nearby. You’re nearby, he has actually gone out of his way to protect you and bring your family here; something the South doesn’t tend to do. I don’t know if this is actually what’s going through his head or not but I expect bringing your family here is a courting gift for you” “Courting? Me? At my age… he has a lot of more attractive women… I couldn’t… shouldn’t” Rhea laughed before nudging her gently joked, “I knew it; you like him…” “So what? Am I not allowed to find men attractive? Is it because I’m from the North?!” Rhea laughed before tugging her arm to stop her from leaving said, “No, I was just going to say. Go for it!” “I’m surprised you haven’t gone for it” “He likes mature women who can hold their own in a fight and has a personality unmatched. I have 2 of those 3 but can’t fight like you can. Go to him and see what happens” Freyja drank another before grabbing one more muttered, “It’s been a while.”

“Damian” Freyja sheepishly muttered, “Freyja, I’m glad to see you” he replied hurrying them both away from Phoebe’s endless advances, “I had something I wanted to ask” Freyja nervously forced out, “Me too. But you first” she nodded before looking up in his waiting her eyes asked, “People… keep saying that you like me and I confess I like you, but… do you…I mean actually like little old me?” “Mature, you’re mature not old” “Same thing. You could have any young goddess out there and you want me!” “Definitely” “Why?” he looked down and for once perhaps nervously nodded before saying, “A firm mature and full body with experience around my body whilst you say all the right things to me… why would anyone say no?” she laughed and understanding her role to the young Isu found confidence in it and the endless drinks she had filled herself with over the course of the day, she took his hand and kissing him he lustfully asked, “Want to get out of here?”

The doors swung open and walking in the bed room Freyja smiled seeing the luxury she hadn’t had in a long time, she turned around and drunkenly said, “Come here” he causally took an step closer and closing the distance to him she threw her cloak off said, “You really are attractive you know” he shrugged failing to act casual once again lusted over the older woman who, kissing him immediately took her shirt off and watching the younger Isu smile she ordered, “Get naked then boy, I.. I know you’ve wanted me!”

She gasped watching the hybrid hungrily licks his lips as he tore his own clothes off smirked seeing the size in front of her fell to her knees in excitement lifted it up in both hands, kissing the tip as she gasped once more seeing it grow larger in her hand, his hands cupped the back of her head watching as she slowly eased herself onto his dick her mouth teasing it with her tongue sucking emphatically on its head aiming to prepare him for her wet entrance. Her tongue licked around it aiming to get every inch of it lubed whilst her hand cupped his heavy sack that just added to her own excitement, her eyes bulging and tears running down her face when he used her mouth as a sleeve to fuck. Her mouth struggled as she coughed on it, still amazed to herself that he was getting off on her mouth alone. He sped up and feeling helpless desperate gasped for air when he pulled out and seeing his full size the Northerner smiled when he asked, “Ready?”

Freyja laid back on the bed and spreading her legs looked down at her soaking entrance that shone on display for him and speaking with drunken excitement she said, “Take your Vanir prize.” His cock ventured closer to her wet lips and lighting prodding her she moaned feeling herself be penetrated, the first time in decades and by someone much more endowed than her ex-husband, he clumsily pushed harder in and crying out she was silenced by his lips latching on to her own, he paused in concern, questioning whether it was a good idea but feeling Freyja wrap her legs around his toned waist he muttered, “The most beautiful woman in all the realms.” He pushed forward and feeling her body become accustomed to his size that was only halfway in she moaned, “Break me boy! Break me in the only way I haven’t” he nodded slamming forward in a hard and fast rhythm, memorised by her breasts bouncing in time with his actions, her hands massaging his chest whilst his own supported her back and his lips now made its way down to her nipples her which enjoyed their own private attention, she was in heaven, her initial pain was drowned out by the extra bottles of ale she had consumed with him and now feeling the pleasure that she hadn’t felt in such a long time climaxed over his cock; she snorted out in a laughing apology that she had came so soon felt her eyes widened when she watched her left leg be rested on his shoulder and her sexual partner continue with his task to “break her.” The cock now freely move in and out of her with the idea of claiming her and feeling her tighten around his member once again Freyja came for a second time but this time felt him return the favour filling her mature body up with his own, “Again?” Freyja muttered and kissing her watched as she mounted him; this time she was going to take control.

Freyja pushed him down to the bed and standing up said, “There’s one more hole, but we will do it on my terms” she held it up and wrestling it’s way in she cried out, “Too big!” she took an breath before muttering a spell smiled when she saw her body alter and now perfectly fit his cock and being free to do so meant Freyja was going to stomp her own foot on what happened next. She rode him like she was riding a horse and cumming, Freyja gasped in joy knowing she had managed to take it.

Freya took a deep breath and dismounted squeaked when she felt his arms scoop her up, she watched curious about this new position. She looked down and seeing his cock push back insider her pussy cried out in pleasure when she felt enticement of being suspended in the air by his arms who acting as her support sat her further down on his cock. She rode in time with his thrusts and laughing at her own legs that flapped helplessly as he continued to roughly fuck her body and watching it from her position shivered at the pure speed of his thrusts then in a loud grunt he came once again inside of her.

She fell to her knees, her legs feeling like jelly from the last position and crying from disbelief at his energy moaned when she looked back and saw he had re-entered her this time enjoying the display of the woman on her hand and knees. Her body shook feeling the force behind his thrusts that still hadn’t faltered yet. Instead he fucked here like an animal his hand grabbing her hair so her head would look back and into his eyes as she went on and on inside her until reaching his next climax he challenged, “I hope Vanir can go all night” and laughing and pushed him back to the bed and retaliated, “You have no idea what the goddess of love and fertility can really do.”

Freyja’s eyes shot open when the Elysium sun was at its brightest and feeling the hard lump support her head groaned as she struggled to turn and see what it was. She sat up, body stiffening when she saw Damian’s chilled naked body lay there and gasping she muttered, “Shit! Shit! Shit!” when she saw his cock still inside her and both persons were covered in each other’s juices. “I… eerrr! Shit!” she continued to panic which was drowned out by his laughter, “Calm down Freyja. It was a great night” “I knew I shouldn’t have mixed my drinks” “Yeah probably a bad idea for those who can get drunk” “Why didn’t you stop it?” she challenged and sitting up to address her he said, “Because we both acted on emotion… and what I said last night remains true now. I think you are the most beautiful woman in all the realms” she blushed hearing him repeat his very words from last night but worrying once again she said, “They are going to think that I slept with you to secure my family’s place here or you took advantage of my situation. I can’t, we can’t have this being said of us” “Let them talk, we know the truth” “And what is that?” “That I want you in every way possible from this moment onwards and I don’t care who knows or who says what” “Really?” Freyja’s heart beating faster and nodding he asked, “The question is, do you want me as I do you?” she leaned over and kissing his cheek explained, “For so long I have been alone. I completely forgot what it meant to love or have anyone care for me but now here we are; my answer is yes. It will take time for us both to adjust to it but I want to try” he nodded and pulling her over his lap felt her arms wrap around his neck and begin to make out all over again, “I told you it will be fine.”

”We better make an appearance today before they start looking” Damian grumbled annoyed that he had to leave his current position and yawning in agreement responded, “Yeah Athena wanted to see me anyway” he nodded offering, “Want me to come with you?” “No, you’d better check in with Zeus before he starts pining. Artemis wants to show me some tricks with a bow, she’ll come with me” “Suppose you’re right” he sneaked up behind her dressing person and wrapping his arms around her waist muttered in between kisses, “I’m going to miss you” “Well I will just have to make it up to you later. Now get dressed or don’t; I’m not fussy either way” she teased back surprised by her own reaction to his last comment but seeing his reaction asked, “Want to bathe together?” “You’ve read my mind!”

Freyja walked along courtyard leading to Persephone’s Isu district, the guards stood down and nodding to respect their actions she was interrupted by the voice of, “So there’s the Northern Whore!” Freya turned back and seeing the Isu in red laughed assuming correctly that it is was Aphrodite who had challenged her, “Aphrodite the Southern whore!” “Excuse me?! I am the goddess of love to the humans, show me the respect I deserve” “I would kneel but you are usually the one who does the kneeling” Aphrodite growled growing red embarrassed by the group who now watched the confrontation, “Don’t forget who I am. I am the Northern goddess of love, fertility and warfare but unlike you to don’t need to throw myself at every man to prove it!” “The dwarves, Óðr, Odin and now Damian” “I never actually slept with the dwarves and my two husbands were forced upon me. Since you mentioned it… Hephaestus, Anchises, Ares, your own father Zeus, Dionysius, Adonis, Hermes, Butes, Phaethon, Apollo and even Kronos and I’m the whore?!” Artemis laughed joining the duo, “You came here for a few hours and wake up in his bed?!” Freyja laughed before teasing her said, “You’re jealous aren’t you. Jealous that he found me attractive and shares a bond with me that you could never have with him or anyone” Artemis laughed at Aphrodite who getting more defensive snapped, “He fucked you and what… you think you are going to go any further than that? He is done with you. Onto the next!” “Oh really… then why has he asked to see me later and then asked me to Persephone’s party next week as his date?” Aphrodite growled once more before insulting her with, “What does he see in some old bag?” “He see’s a woman who can satisfy him, a firm motherly body and a fiery personality. A personality you don’t have or will ever have” Freyja fired and seeing her storm off in a huff and apologising to her escort Artemis joked, “It’s fine really. I sleep in his house on times and I heard you guys going at it 4 rooms away. According to Persephone half of Elysium heard you guys go at it. We should go, Athena is waiting for us as we waste time talking.”

“Late Damian!” Zeus spoke smirking at the news she heard, “You could say I slept in” Zeus laughed ignoring Hera as always, “We know, I heard, you and Freyja could be heard all over Elysium. All night as well” Hera stated almost proud that she herself had the pleasure. Damian nodded before explaining, “Yeah we confessed our attraction to each other and hit it off” Hera nodded before querying, “Are you seeing her again?” “Yes later and then she will be my date to the party next week” “Finally found someone” Zeus teased and nodding Damian held his sword up to Zeus before threatening, “This is your only warning Zeus. Stay away from MY Freyja or I will kill you!” Zeus looked down and seeing the blade being pointed against his chest replied pushing it down, “Okay. Now if you don’t mind you have work to do.”

NOTE: LOGOS DOESN’T LOOK LIKE KRATOS. IT’S JUST EVERY IMAGE I CAN FIND WITH FREYJA/FREYA IN PRACTICALLY HAS KRATOS IN.
