"What are you doing here you evil spawn." the man who entered said.
"Thor, my dear uncle. Those are not the loving words that I expected from you." Fenrir said in a joyful voice.
"Love is for my family mbers. Not those destined to kill my father." Thor scowled.
"I was not born with hate towards Odin. He just felt threatened, and now he brought that fate upon himself. The reason that I, or rather Lucas, ca here is different, however. We are here to warn your entire country of sothing. So why don't you move so that we can rest? I am really tired." Fenrir said.
"Warn us? We know better than to trust soone like you." Thor scoffed.
Angela, who was ignored up until now, stood back up. She looked at Thor. "He is not here as Fenrir, but as a mber of the council that the gods have appointed to take care of the mortal realm. We are here because we need to warn the gods of sothing drastic that has occurred conveniently after the gods have left the mortal realm for their break." Angela said.
"Oh, and what might that be?" Thor raised his eyebrow.
"Ragnarok. Praneeth heard the rumors from the gods, and we all but confird the group behind it." Angela said with a solemn tone.
Thor's and Heimdall's faces changed.
"You dare claim that when the sole perpetrator of that is standing right in front of ? It seems that father has made the wrong choices in choosing the council mbers." Thor shouted with anger.
"That is why I told you to pack a lot of clothes this ti around. I knew that these idiots would get in the way. Heimdall, give us so accommodations. I will wait until Odin is willing to see us. Even if he is unreasonable, he is still king, and he should have the proper decency to welco a guest, and see what he has co here for." Fenrir said.
"I will arrange for a proper place to stay. We will see if there are any rooms are left in Valhalla." Heimdall said.
"What is going on Heimdall? Are you really going to allow him to stay here? What are you doing?" Thor asked, outraged.
"He is right, Thor. He was not violent when he arrived, and it is only right for us to be cool headed when dealing with him." Heimdall said.
He snapped his fingers, and Lucas and Angela felt that they were being transported once more.
"That bastard could at least have the decency of telling us that he was going to move us imdiately." Lucas cursed.
"Be happy that he did not kill you. Take what you have." Angela, who was right next to him, said.
The two of them touched solid ground all of a sudden. Lucas was able to regain his balance, but it seed that Angela was not used to this sort of transport at all, because she fell to the ground once more.
"How are you doing that? I have no idea when we stop. I need to learn that." she muttered.
"Practise. I had to visit this place as a sort of probation for so long after I got that contract with Fenrir. That is why I started laying down my base next to that city. The city ca much, much later. That is why I even have a private strip of airspace in the airport. I did not even need to put the strip outside." Lucas said.
Angela nodded as she looked around. There was gold and flashy items everywhere. On the roof, shields decorated the ceiling, and it seed that it was all that supported whatever was above.
"What is this place? He said Valhalla, but we aren't exactly dead, are we?" Angela asked.
"Another precaution against . You see, I am a risk to keep. Even if I kill anyone here though, they are going to be reborn, because you cannot die twice. That is not the sa for gods. Once Fenrir kills Odin, and swallows him, Odin won't be reborn. He will be stuck in Fenrir's stomach forever." Lucas said.
"Please don't tell that you are planning to kill a few people here as well. We are here in peace." Angela said.
"Are you kidding ? They put in the world's best playground and expect not to play? Where is the fun in that?" Lucas grinned widely.
He took a few steps around, and stopped in front of what appeared to be a huge door, but was closed.
"I am sorry, but that door should remain closed. Your accommodations will be provided shortly. Because of how Valhalla works, you will have to share your room with five others, and it just so seems that the Miss here has a room available for her. But sir has to be put in one of the hell ranked rooms, at the order of the gods." a voice ca from behind Lucas.
He did not even bother to turn. He smiled as he said, "Put in Bjorn's or Ragnar's rooms. They are really fun. They can play with ." Lucas started stretching his fingers and arms.
"As you wish sir. You shall be transported with your clothing." the voice said. Lucas disappeared from where he stood. Angela, however, was still standing there, facing a woman who was clad in armor.
"Are you what they call a valkyrie?" she asked.
"That is correct, Miss. You are an esteed guest of the gods, and they have said that you will not be as troubleso as the guest that was sent to room one. You shall be sent to room number ten. I hope that you have a good ti." the valkyrie said.
"What is the difference between rooms?" Angela asked.
"The best warriors of the lands are in the hell-ranked rooms. It is a slaughter-fest every day, and only those who can survive are put in those rooms. I have no idea who the guest who has arrived is, but he is sure to face a tough ti. He was put in the room with the strongest fighters of all history. There were only four people ever who had the qualifications to enter that room." the valkyrie said.
"That is Lucas. Alright. I also want to go to my room. The Bifrost transportation wasn't exactly comfortable." Angela sighed.
She also disappeared, and the entire room was empty now. The valkyrie was no longer anywhere to be seen, and silence was all that remained.
Elsewhere,
"Alright. I finally saw you boys after so long. I thought that I would never see you. You died so young, such a pity." Lucas said with a loud voice.
"You finally ca here. But how the hell did you die?" a man with a huge moustage and a rugged body said.
"You the hell said that I died?" Lucas grinned.
"You are still not dead? How the hell are you still alive? With your stupid attitude, I was sure that you would offend so god and he would zap you to death." another man said.
Lucas was in a room that had six beds on one side which looked pristine, while the rest of the room was filled with cuts and scars on the walls.
"Let see. I recognize Ragnar and Bjorn. Who are the other two?" Lucas pointed towards the two who just spoke, and then looked at two other n, one short and one huge, who were standing a little farther, and were looking at him with squinted eyes.
"Don't worry. I don't bite. I just kill." Lucas grinned.
"Who are you? I thought that no one else was qualified for this room. They were just chickens and could not last even a few days." the short one asked.
"? Don't worry boy. I am not like those people. For , all of you are just kids, so I am going to handicap myself. There are four of you right? Allright. Putting my left hand aside. That seems fair right Ragnar?" Lucas looked at Ragnar, and one who spoke first.
"That seems fair. But don't complain. We have gotten much better. We might actually beat you." Ragnar said.
"What are you doing Ragnar? Are you willing to sha yourself like that? To actually fight soone with a handicap?" the short man asked.
"Calm down Erik. You are misunderstanding him. I won't be facing him. All of us will be facing him together. I dare not try to beat a Lucas with one arm. I would ask him to put his left leg down as well." Ragnar said.
"What a sha you are to us, Ragnar. I thought that you were a legendary warrior of your ti, but to think that you are afraid of a new arrival, who probably is like the midget many of these new ones are." the huge man behind Erik said.
"What did you just say? What did you just call ?" Lucas' face twitched as he looked the man.
"A midget. That is all that you are." the man said.
Lucas looked at Ragnar and Bjorn.
"How long will they regenerate after dying?" he asked them.
"One hour." Ragnar said.
"Looks like this place is going to be silent for one hour." Lucas said.
Ragnar and Bjorn shook their heads at the huge man. "You brought it upon yourself Egil. You just brought it upon yourself." Bjorn said.
