Legends are Born

Valkyrie sat in quietly in Gordon's... I mean her home. Thunder, lighting and Samantha's crying made it important to watch the TV. It was her day off and fair to say it sucks. Her parents were on holiday and they took Alice with them and Skulduggery was working a case so there was no one to talk to. It had been raining all day so there was nothing good to do. She began to walk around the house. She seemed to memorise the whole route of the house. It took a while but it eventually felt like home to her.

She looked at the clock 11:32pm.

"Not long now" she said out loud smiling. She hated days off.

She cradled Samantha to try to sent her to sleep. Her three months old daughter had been the talk of the Sanctuary when Valkyrie was pregnant. Shortly after the battle against Darquesse. She and Fletcher got drunk and well, nine months later Samantha was born. At first Valkyrie was scared out of her wit about having a kid. It wasn't until she saw the ultrasound that she realised that this was what she wanted.

That wasn't the only new thing in the world. Shortly after Darquesse and group of wolfbloods in Newcastle revealed the secret of magic to the when they exposed their own existence at a Segolia conference. Skulduggery and China have been developing a treaty theat they and the United Nations could sign that would allow The Sanctuaries to continue to function but with the help of the UN.

After a few more minutes Samantha had finally gone to sleep. Once Valkyrie successfully hot her to her room and into her crib without waking her up she decided to hit the hay herself. There was no point in staying up any longer. She slowly made her way to her room. Passing Gordon's old study as she did. She felt a need to go inside and look around. The room hadn't been cleaned for a while and it looked like it was gathering dust. She didn't mind through. It just felt right.

Valkyrie sighed with sadness and slowly walked out the room, locking the door as she did and continued on her path to her room.

It had been a long few mouths since Darquesse. Depression after losing Stephanie had hit Fletcher hard. And after finding out about Samantha he decided he had leave to 'go find himself'.

"What a jerk" she thought herself.

Tanith stuck around to help clean up Roarhaven a bit but then she decided to go back to the Hidden Blade as a teacher to try to get over losing Ghastly. That left Skulduggery and Valkyrie alone to save the world and change diapers. The saving the world thing had also become a bit anticlimax now. Valkyrie couldn't explain it. Once you've defeated the most powerful villain everything that come after just isn't enough anymore.

Valkyrie saw the door to her bed room, she reach for the handle when it happened.

There was a knock on the door.

"What the hell" she said "Skulduggery, I'm gonna kill you. Again"

She quickly marched to the front door and opened it.

"Skulduggery, I swear to god I'm..."

There was no one there, she looked around to see if anyone what around. Nobody was there. Valkyrie was starting to get suspicious. Then she heard something. Crying. Someone, a baby, was crying. She looked down to see the baby crying in a basket. A crimson coat that appeared to be made of protective clothing was wrapped around him lwhere a note had been wrapped around the sleeve held together with an elastic band. Valkyrie pulled the basket in, lifted the sword up and pulled the note away and put the sword down on a nearby desk. The child continued to cry. Valkyrie lead to down to him.

"Hey it ok, ok" she said as she smiled. She opened to note.

"Hey Val, long time no see

You're probably wondering who this is, well if the coat wasn't a clue then that just proves how must of an idiot you are. It Darquesse stupid. Yeah I'm still alive. Bet ya didn't see that one coming. And don't worry, I'm not back, so you and your idiot friends are safe for now. Look bottom line. This is my son, Cain. Great name I know but I didn't have long to name him before I had to get rid of him. His farther is... well. A Faceless One. Don't judge me, vamp-lover, it happens. Looks I had to get him here to keep him safe. Not many of the other though he was a good idea so here he is. Oh and make sure you tell him the truth, or else. he'll find out eventually, better sooner rather than later.

Best regards

Darquesse :)"

Valkyrie couldn't believe it. This child, Cain, was part Faceless One.

"Wait" she said to Cain "does this make you... A demigod" he seemed to stop crying once she said the last word and seemed to giggle. Could he understand her? She didn't have time to find out as she began to really panic and she grabbed the phone.

"Skulduggery. Get your arse here now. We have a problem"

A few hours later

Valkyrie sat in the medical bay of the Sanctuary with Cain in her arms and Samantha in her pushchair, there was no way she was leaving her on her own with strangers. Skulduggery was in the other room with the doctors who were Cain's DNA to that of the samples they collected from The Grotesquery and Valkyrie (as she and Darquesse shared the same DNA) She cradled the small demigod. She hope that this was some sadist prank by some psycho. After a few more hours China showed up.

"Can someone please tell me why my sleep has been interrupted" see said

"Sorry China" said Valkyrie standing up "this little guy showed up" she looked down to Cain

"Oh" China looked down at the child "hello there" Cain looked up at her and giggled. China looked back to to Valkyrie "What's so important about him then, yours?"

"No. Darquesse's"

"WHAT!"

"At least we think so. He showed up on my doorstep with a note say that he's part Faceless One and the others didn't agree with him"

"Anything else I need to know?" Said China crossing her arms.

"Yeah. The DNA came back, he definitely has traces of Faceless One in his blood and Darquesse is definitely the mother"

"Well" China threw her arms in the air "that's all we bloody need. A demigod. So what do we do with him?"

"What do you mean?" Asked Valkyrie, Cain seemed to quietly cry. He must have know something was up.

"What do I mean?" Said China "you know he can't stay here. He can be used as an Isthmus Anchor by The Church of The Faceless. The citizens will want his blood as revenge for what his mother did"

"So what?" Said Valkyrie "we abandon him in some orphanage and hope he never discovers who he is?"

"No" said Skulduggery "we can't risk it. We have to keep him. And if he's anything like Darquesse he'll find out who he is whether we tell him or not"

"And the note did say we had to 'or else' as Darquesse said" said Valkyrie

"Alright" said China "but where do we keep him? I don't know about you but I'm not interested in recreating The Hunchback of Nortadam. Good story, yes but not good for the city"

"What if he stays with me" said Valkyrie

Both Skulduggery and China look at her.

"What?!" they both said

"Well what if we keep him and he stays at my place. Darquesse obviously entrusted me with the task. Besides Darquesse and I share blood just like me and Stephanie. He's almost like a little nephew to me"

Skulduggery sighed

"Fine. We'll have to keep all this information within the Sanctuary. If it gets out who know what will happen"

Elsewhere

Crowley stood in the dark chamber in the warehouse as Meg, a demon who betrayed him for Lucifer and then The Winchesters, lay on a steel table screaming as she was giving birth. Two demons held her down and one served as a midwife.

But this was no ordinary baby. This was a baby born of a demon and an Angel. And not just any Angel, the one Angel he wanted dead more than anything. And now he would have a weapon against him. Crowley found out that Meg was pregnant a few weeks after taking her prisoner after Sam, Dean, Castiel, Meg and himself defeated the Leviathans.

"Just so you know, whore" said Crowley "that we will take good care of your abomination. And I'll make sure that they're the last thing weathers sees"

"You son of a bitch!" Screamed Meg "I'll kill you myself"

"Your Majesty" said the midwife "the child is almost born"

At that moment the room was filled with a grey glow as Meg gave out a loud, ear-peri ing scream. Both faded and Crowley looked at the midwife, the demon fell to the floor, their eyes burned out. Crowley and Meg looked up to see a grey glowing cloud floating above them. It lingered for a few seconds before flying towards the wall. The hybrid smashed through the wall, forming a hole. The hybrid flew through and into the night sky. Crowley could only watch as his weapon flew away. Meg smiled as her daughter flew to her freedom.

Elsewhere again

Matei Covaci sat outside the healer's tent in the wild wolfblood pack's territory. Ever since the reveal of magic to keep themselves safe he, his girlfriend Jana and their pack moved from the city to the wild pack. They had only been there a year. And now he was sitting outside a tent listening to the sound of Jana scream as she gave birth.

His sister Amelia and his friend TJ and the pack leader, Jana's father, Alric sat next to him. Amelia put her hand on his shoulder. "You ok?" She asked.

"What do you think?" Matei asked "I'm about to be a dad, at 19. What am I gonna do?"

"You'll be fine" said TJ "you have us, we'll help. And my mom will be more than willing to give a few tips"

"And I will always be there for my daughter and grandchild" said Alric

"I'm such an idiot" said Matei putting his hands on his face, what had he done, he and the pack moved to be safe from a group called Department X that was killing supernatural beings, if they attacked the wild pack, how will he and Jana move with a baby?

After God knows how long the screaming stopped. Slowly the pack healer exiting the tent. She was a elderly woman with scars all over her body. Her wild hair tied back. She turned to Matei and Alric and smiled.

"Congratulations" she said "it's a boy"

The two ran into the tent to see Jana looking up at them from her bed smiling. A small child wrapped in animal skin lay in her arms.

"Matei, dad" she said. The two slowly walked up to her. They looked to see a baby boy sleeping in his mothers arms.

"He's beautiful" said Matei

"Magnificent" said Alric kissing his daughters head "I'm proud of you Jana"

"Thanks dad"

"So what's his name?" Asked Matei

Jana looked down at her son. She through for a moment and smiled.

"How about..." She thought for a moment again "Fenrir"
