Chapter one:
It's Kind of a Birthday Present:
Arien Monroe sat on her front porch watching as Meteors shot across the sky, she shook her head; things were getting really strange. Meteor showers? What was next Earthquakes. She sighed before heading to her best friend, Axl's birthday party. Upon arrival, she found Axl on his trampoline, getting to know a woman more intimately. Arien shook her head and continued on into the house not wanting to ruin Axl's fun. As she made her way up the stairs an earthquake hit, throwing Arien to the side saving her from people that were rushing from the house.
"You've got to be shitting me." Arien muttered as she watched everyone leave. She met Gaia at the door and hugged the shorter girl. "well that was fun eh Mother Earth?"
Gaia laughed and let the older girl in the house. Arien looked around, frowned at the mess and began to help Gaia attempt to clean up.
"Actually, I think it's kind of cool that our flat looks the same after a natural disaster as it did before." Axl said some time later; Arien shook her head at her friend,
"That's because I've got two useless dicks as flatmates." Gaia countered; Arien burst with laughter scaring Axl; he turned and grinned at his oldest friend.
"And you love us." he told Gaia before turning to Arien. "when did you get here then?"
"About the time you got a stiffy with that girl on the trampoline." Ari said with a smirk; he rolled his eyes and held up two beers.
"Forget the tidying. Have a beer." he said; Gaia took the beers and handed one to Arien; who quickly opened it and took a drink. Gaia looked at the clock and grinned.
"It's after midnight." she said; Arien smiled at the pair, Axl was such an idiot he could not see the girls crush on him.
"Stand up." Gaia demanded. Axl didn't even look up at her when he asked why. "So we can hug you."
"Idiot." Ari chuckled; Axl sent her a glare but stood up so Gaia could hug him.
"Happy 21st, Axl." she said; Arien walked up behind them and held out her arms.
"You called me an idiot I don't think I want to give you a hug." Axl said with a smirk. Arien rolled her eyes and pulled him into a hug. He lifted her off of the ground and squeezed her.
"I'll be giving you your gift at the party tomorrow at Mike's." she informed him; he nodded and sat back down.
The next day Arien jogged along the seaside until she noticed a cluster of people by the bay. She slowed to a stop to see what they were looking at. The bay was colored oddly, like blood, concerned she took a picture to show Mike or Olaf, whoever she found first. She decided to head back to Axl's where she has spend the night to get a shower before heading back home.
Once she entered the flat she could hear Axl complaining about wanting to go to the pub.
"I thought you had a family thing to do today." Gaia asked; Axl sighed as Arien made her presence known.
"Whatever Mike's being all deep and meaningful about can wait till tonight." he said tying his shoes. "Let's just go to the pub instead. You in Ari?"
"Shouldn't you be pacing yourself?" Gaia asked;
"I don't even want the stupid party." Axl sighed, Arien rolled her eyes.
"Val and Mike want to throw you a party, Axl stop acting like a child." she said sitting down on Gaia's bed and pulling off my tennis shoes.
"It'll be fun." Gaia tried. Arien fell back onto the bed and took a deep breath tired.
"It'll be very fussy if Mike planned it." Axl said; Arien sat up with a start and shot him the nastiest glare she could muster.
"I helped you big oaf, you are going, weather you like it or not." He groaned, yes the newly 21 year old man child groaned as he stood up.
"Please just say we can go to the pub." he tried again; Arien's glare didn't soften as she stared the younger man down. Gaia laughed at the best friends as they stared each other down.
"I have to go to work and then we've got to pick up our dresses for tonight." Gaia said; he frowned
"You don't have to get all flashed up for the party."
Arien stood and went to stand in front of him.
"Maybe we want to." she poked him in the chest with every syllable, "Maybe it isn't every day when our best friend turns twenty one, Maybe because Mother Earth and I love that certain friend, for some unknown reason, and want to maybe not look like bums during the party."
"Ow, Fine." Axl said rubbing the spot where she kept poking him. "Me and Zeb will just go to the pub without you."
Gaia informed him that Zeb had gone to work making Arien look at Gaia in shock; where the hell did that troll work.
"Then it'll just be me at the pub, won't it?" Axl said; Arien grabbed a towel and headed into the bathroom,
"You are going to see what Mike needs Axl so help me I will beat you to the very inch of your life." she said before walking into the bathroom and slamming the door.
Arien arrived at Mike and Val's just as Axl and the rest had gotten there.
"AXL!" she shouts jumping into his arms; he laughed and spun her around. She jumped onto his back and let him carry her into the house. "VAL!"
Axl dropped her causing her to pout but shoved him out of the way so she could hug Val first. She let some of her power rush through Val in hopes that it would help the couple.
"Axl! Happy birthday." She said after hugging Axl. He thanked her and playfully shoved Arien. "Everything's set up out the back. Make yourself at home."
Axl got a weird look on his face before answering.
"If you say so." he said walking towards the door as Gaia, Zeb and a whole bunch of people walk in. Mike shot Arien a look and she raised her hands up.
"it wasn't me, I didn't know anything about it!" she said before heading back only to bump into someone. "sorry!"
"No problem." he said; she smiled without actually looking at him and heading towards the back. She caught up with Gaia and began dancing.
"so any plans on trying to get with Axl today Mother Earth?" Arien asked her; Gaia blushed and shook her head.
"he doesn't like me like that Ari." she said; before smiling, "can I ask you a question?"
Ari nodded before grabbing two beers and handing one to Gaia.
"why do you call me Mother Earth?" Arien smiled, she could tell that the little nickname had always confused Gaia, but she never asked about it.
"In Greek Mythology, Gaia was the mother goddess who presided over the earth. And you take care of Axl and Zeb so Mother Earth just fit."
Gaia smiled before a chant caught their attention.
"Skal, skal, skal, skal, skal, skal!" a group surrounding Axl chanted as he chugged a beer. "Give him another one, give him another one!"
Arien shook her head watching them, she notices Mike coming out to stand by Ty, whom she hadn't seen since before she turned 21 four years ago and gained her goddess. Before, she had the biggest crush on Axl's older brother, everyone had loved Anders but Ty had always caught her attention.
"so you and Ty huh?" Gaia asked making the blonde jump, she turned to the younger girl and asked her what she was talking about. "come on Ari you're looking at him like I look at Axl. Go talk to him."
She shoved Ari, causing the blonde to stumble, she turned and glared at Gaia who was giggling. Ari grinned and picked a dying flower and walked over to Mike and Ty.
"Flower?" she asked grinning like mad as the flower perked up and came back to life. Mike rolled his eyes as Ty, Looked at her confused. "gosh I haven't changed that much Ty."
"Arien?" he asked; she smirked.
"Or as of May 20th of 2007, Ēostre Goddess of spring." she informed him with a grin; he smiled slightly.
"Anders!" Axl shouts. Arien turned to find the Poet God walking into the back yard with two 'promo girls'
"Axl, my baby brother, who as become a man." Anders said hugging Axl, "I come bearing gifts."
"Oh, shit." Ty said; Arien smiled slightly as Mike got a pissed off look on his face.
"This is my little brother I told you about." Anders informed the girls; "Be nice with him, okay?"
Anders looked over at Mike, Ty and Arien as Mike walked over to him.
"So who invited Braggi?" Ari asked Ty; he looked at her confused.
"how do you know he's Braggi?" he asked; Arien took a drink of her beer and smiled.
"Every time he sent Dawn for flowers she came to my shop, well I got curious on why he had to send so many flowers to different people. So I confronted him; he tried to 'bend my mortal will'. I laughed in his face and he bothered me until I would tell him who I was."
Ty handed her another beer after she threw her empty one away. She smiled when she noticed the frost on it.
"wish I could have been there to see that." he said;
"so Ty what god did you get?" he froze and looked away from her; she elbowed him and raised her eyes brow.
"Hod." he muttered; "God of all things dark and cold."
Arien smirked feeling the effect of the beer as she leaned in to whisper in his ear.
"i might be a spring goddess but I'm pretty sure I could hand some ice." Arien whispered; she noticed Gaia looking at Axl who was dancing with Anders 'presents'. Ty choked his drink and stare at her.
"I'm getting use to you being a beautiful woman not not the pig-tailed little girl I knew, you can't say things like that." Ty said; Arien smirked, kissed his cheek and headed over to Gaia before stopping and turning back to him.
"and Ty?" she said; his eyes traveled from her ass to her face. "you're only four years older than me!"
she turned back and practically ran over to Gaia.
Some time later Arien noticed the Johnson men go into the shed; she let the curiosity get the best of her and followed them. She leaned against the wall next to the window.
"You're the oracle, the oracular, or whatever the word is." She heard Mike say,
"Is he Odin or not?" Anders asked; Arien almost choked on her beer, Axl couldn't be Odin.
"If Axl is the new Odin, all the signs" Olaf began to say only to have Axl interrupt him. "Well, I'm getting to the signs."
"No pressure, Olaf, just..." Mike said before trailing off.
"First sign, fire in the night Sky for seven nights before he returns." Olaf explained. Arien mentally cursed, the meteors. Axl and Olaf bickered for a second before Olaf continued with the signs. "Sign number two, the earth shall Tremble on the day of his arrival."
The earthquakes, Arien frowned Axl could not be Odin,
"But it still means nothing without sign number three." Olaf continued, "The seas run red as if with blood. No way has that come to pass."
"Fuck," Arien whispered; "the bay."
"The news reckons it was some kind of algal bloom or something." Ty commented.
"Okay, but even that doesn't count as a sign unless the next sign happens. Otherwise it's just freaky shit."
An uncontrollable smile formed on the spring goddess face as Olaf spoke, she had missed his free spirit.
"And what's the next sign?" Mike asked; Arien sighed wishing that Olaf would stop being interrupted so she could hear the whole conversations and get out of there with out getting caught.
"The sun shall rise on the sign of Odin, written large upon The slopes of fire for all to know that he returns." a confused look fell on Arien face,
"what the hell is the sign of Odin?" she whispered before covering her mouth, hoping they didn't hear her.
"And what is the sign of Odin?" Mike again. Arien smiled, Mike asks the right questions.
"The Valknut." Olaf explained.
"Like a walnut?" Axl asked; Arien slapped her forehead.
'It's a symbol, triangles all mixed up." Anders made a sound and Arien recalled an article she had read about some triangle symbol on the volcano.
"What a dick." Ty said; Arien covered her mouth in an attempt to hid her laughs.
"I was flogging booze to the masses, how am I meant to know I was fulfilling a prophecy?" Anders defended himself. Axl got a bit excited at the word prophecy causing Arien to shake her head.
"No, not cool." Mike said;
"And not fulfilled. Not until the last sign." Olaf said; "When he returns, he will have The heart of Man and the heart of the Earth."
Arien bunched her eyebrows up confused. Two hears? What is Odin a Time Lord?
"Am I some kind of genetic freak?" Axl asked; Olaf asked him if he had two hearts, "Of course I don't have two hearts."
"What about a tattoo of a heart plus your actual heart?" Anders asked;
"No. But if I got a tattoo of a heart, would that make me Odin?" Axl asked; Arien was going to kill him! "Well, I want to be someone! So far, this whole "being a god" thing sucks. You guys, you can do something, even if it is just give chicks pointy nipples."
"Oh, you had to go there, didn't you?" Ty snapped causing Arien to giggle.
"Me, apparently I haven't even got the right number of hearts." Axl snapped before charging out of the shed. As soon as he couldn't see her Arien barged in.
"FLOWER!" Olaf shouts before hugging her. She shoved him off and stared at Mike.
"Axl cannot be Odin!" she snapped. Anders smirked
"Ah Ari always a pleasure." he said before her fist connected with his jaw sending his head flying back. Ty quickly caught her hand before she could do it again.
"Only my friends call you Ari you ass." she hissed before turning back to Mike. "Is this really happening?"
"I'm afraid so Flower." Olaf said; Arien frowned.
"then I guess I have to actually come out to him wont I?" she asked; Anders smirked and went to say something until she shot him a glare.
"for once Anders don't provoke her," Mike said; "cause I think we both know from experience she can kick your ass."
Ty glanced at Arien concerned as she glared at Anders, who held his hands up in mock surrender.
"sorry for upsetting princess." he said sarcastically before they walked out of the shed and into the house; Arien grabbed another beer and followed the guys over to Zeb and Gaia.
"Hey, where's Axl?" Mike asked them Zeb yelled out causing Arien to jump, Ty steadied her as she glared at the little troll. Gaia looked pissed;
"He left, with vodka girl." she informed him; Anders shook his head.
"No, he didn't." he said; Gaia looked at him unimpressed;
"Yeah, he did." she snapped;
"No, they're over there." He pointed his beer towards the two Vodka girls who were dancing across the room. Gaia told them that it was the third one, Anders looked at her confused. "There is no other one."
"Well, he sure left with one." Gaia said; Mike looked concerned as he headed out the front door; Arien stopped in front of Gaia and asked her if she wanted to talk about it. The younger girl shook her head and told her to go find Axl.
When Arien finally got outside Anders was taking a sip of his beer looking at Mike.
"Then take it away, Mister God of the Hunt." he said; Arien walked up behind him and slapped him in the back of the head causing him to choke on his beer. Mike took a deep breath before running off; Ty followed and Anders looked at Arien who shrugged.
"Might as well Ands." she said following after the two other Johnsons. She quite quickly passed Mike and caught up to Ty who was just a few feet in front of his brothers; when they got to the end of the hill Ty slowed to a stop and turned to his brothers.
"This is pathetic." he said; We'll never catch him at this rate."
Arien laughed at Anders and Mike who were gasping for air. Anders playfully shoved her
"I will thump you in a minute." he informed the two younger deities. Arien just shook her head as Mike tried to catch his breath.
"They went second street on the left, into the park." he gasped out; Arien took Ty's hand and ran towards the park.
"Run, Forrest, run!" Arien faintly heard Anders yell in a weird accent.
When Ty and Arien got to where Axl and the girl were; The vodka girl was getting ready to shoot Axl with an arrow.
"AXL!" Arien shouted at the same time as Ty yelled 'No'. Axl turned to look at us as the Vodka girl let the arrow loose. Axl turned back around to catch it when it hit him; Arien pushed herself to faster as Ty caught Axl before he fell to the ground.
"Didn't quite go to plan." Axl muttered; Anders took out his phone and called for an ambulance.
"Ambulance, we need an ambulance." he said; he told them where they were and Arien sat down next to Axl taking his hand as they waited for the ambulance.
Once they got to the hospital everyone sat down and waited for news. Arien stood between Ty and Anders bouncing nervously on the balls of her feet.
"All my vodka girls were accounted for when we left that party, so this magic had nothing to do with me." Anders said earning a punch from Arien
"Shut up Anders." she snapped as the nurse came out of Axl's room.
"Mr. Johnson is an exceptionally fortunate young man." she explained. "If the arrow hadn't gone through his hand first, he wouldn't be with us now."
"He's okay?" Mike said in disbelief. Arien let out a sigh.
"As okay as a guy who had an arrow in his chest can be. The tip of the arrow, the metal head, wedged between his ribs. And when I say wedged, I mean wedged." she showed Mike the x-ray. Arien pushed past Anders to look. The arrow tip looked like a heart.
"holy shi-" Arien started to say but stopped herself.
"There was nothing we could do to Get it out, so we had no choice but to leave it there."
"is that even safe?" Arien asked along with Mike.
"We'll be checking him, of course, but that puppy isn't going anywhere in a hurry." the nurse said; Zeb looked over Anders's shoulder and smiled
"Whoa, it's like he's got two hearts now." he said; "How wicked is that?"
Slowly every single Johnson brother looked over at Olaf. Arien felt herself grab both Anders and Ty's hand' Ty squeezed her hand while Anders just shook it slightly.
"can we go in?" Mike asked the nurse nodded and they walked in. Arien dropped Anders and Ty's hand causing Ty to look at her.
"he doesn't know yet. I'll talk to him tomorrow." she said softly, he smiled and nodded. She walked over to Gaia. "I'm going to head home I don't want to overwhelm him right now."
she nodded in understanding and Arien headed home.
