Hello my dearest readers.
It's time again for another chapter in this story.
We've arrived at a point where Issei will have to show his face to the people of the Norse Mythology, of course he will do this with his new little friend.
In a few chapters from now, we will follow the canon line, even though it will have some changes to the original.
I have been thinking about the relationship between Issei and Rossweisse and if I should add some more people.
I haven't decided yet, but I'm thinking of adding 1 more person.
Just because I don't want to see this person getting hurt by his decision to stay alone, but like I've said I haven't decided yet.
BTW I did some checking, Odin got 5 children with 4 different women... so if Issei will have like a concubine beside Rossweisse it wouldn't be frowned upon I suppose.
I've received quite a lot of reviews, but I'm more than happy to answer them.
Here we go!
Sasuke75249 – Won't use it as it's a weapon created by Marvel, but I will be using a sword which is pretty cool as well.
War historian – There will also be some more romantic development in this chapter. But really. Everything is better than Twilight ;)
DraigTrueEmperor9 – He is still young, and only half-god. So if all these energies work on a young body, something will happen. There will be lemons, it's an M fanfic after all, but not that many.
Mugetsu98 – Might become a harem, am not completely sure yet.
TheLaughingStalk – Juggernaut is far better emotional wise.
Darkconvoy99 – Already answered your questions in PM
Imperial-samaB – Happy to see you like the story
dragonrider66 – you're right. As a kid you are very emotional towards situations, so unconsciously Jdíng is possible
The Storm Master 567 – She needs enough love for Issei to have a good development with him, the coming chapters will really show this, so no one can deny their love. Intro I'd like to keep a secret for now, but what I can say that it won't be at the start. However when they meet Issei for the first time it will be pretty fun ;)
Valimesh – Thank you, I wanted the JD to show his emotions, glad it turned out this way.

Guest – Glad you think so.
Yeiger01 – Thank you, but it is only the beginning. Get ready for some epicness right here :D
Guest – love you too random guest
Kharlos1234ify – They sure are dude.
DragonMaster128 – Chapter 1 was pretty difficult to write, hated to kill his parents but was needed for the story, sorry Issei's parents :(
DragonMaster128 – He did not beat the curse, nor can use the boosted gear yet. Whether this will have consequences you will have to read in this chapter.
Guest – …..you are absolutely right..let's just call them cousins because they are the same age. I personally wouldn't call anyone my own age ''uncle'' if they were my uncle.
Funny-Little-Cute White Fox – Wow indeed, your username.
Funny-Little-Cute White Fox – It's right here my dearest fox

I hope you guys are ready for some more development between Issei and Rossweisse. Before we start the action in the coming chapter :)
Please enjoy reading this.
It's an early morning in the world of the Norse mythology, as nature starts to wake up.
Basked in the light of the morning sun, the first animals slowly make their way out of their holes and caves.
The rabbits are cautiously making their way outside and the deer slowly start to move up in the shadows of the forest.
These wonderful events could all be seen by an elderly lady as she was looking through her window.
This elderly lady, Göndul, was waking up from a night with only a few hours of sleep.
After the events from yesterday concerning Issei, the gods and council started to doubt her abilities to take care of their newest half-god.
With all this pressure on her shoulders, even the strongest of Valkyries can get tired and cranky, so she decided not to do her morning exercises and tried to find a way to raise her spirit.
''Let's see if I can do something creative with the children again'' Göndul thought happily, as she remembered how much fun she had with them the last time.
Stealthily making her way towards their small bedroom. Göndul slowly opened the door.
Looking inside their room, Göndul can see the two little children deeply enjoying their sleep as Rossweisse was sleeping on top of Issei again.
Walking closer towards them, she can't help but feel a little guilty at playing with them.
As she stared at them, she could hear their heartbeats and breathing following the same rhythm. Over and over again.
On top of that, she could hear her sleeping granddaughter on top of Issei softly mutter in her sleep.
''Hmm.. Issei-kun..'' Rossweisse muttered as she slowly chewed on his shirt.
It was like Issei himself heard her, as a bright smile spread on his face and held her even closer.
The scene was so sweet that the air around their bed almost turned into sparkles and pink clouds.
''I don't think I have to worry anymore whether she will find someone to love..'' Göndul thought with three large sweatdrops on her head as she looked at her granddaughter and possible grandson.
Usually Göndul wouldn't wake the two up for another two hours, but today has been chosen by the council of the gods to have Issei meet his new family and to show him around all the levels of the sacred tree Yggdrasil.
''So what am I going to do with them today..'' She wondered out loud, before coming up with a ''devilish'' plan.
''One day I would like to see at least one great-grandchild, so I better have them start early'' Göndul thought as she slowly moved her granddaughter's face up towards Issei his lips, and moved Issei's hand into her pyjama bottom.
''At least they'll wake up happily'' Göndul thought and sighed sadly as she remembered her time with her late husband.
''You two are the last family I have left. I promise you both that I'll make you strong..'' were her last thoughts as she made her way out of the room, ready to prepare breakfast for herself and the children.
A few minutes after Göndul left the room, she was seated at the table and drank a cup of tea, when she spotted Issei and Rossweisse walking down the stairs.
She could only smirk as she saw Issei with a handprint on his left cheek and a lip shaped bruise on his right. She also saw Rossweisse with a very large blush on her face as she looked at Issei and the ground.
''Did you have a nice sleep again my dearest granddaughter and grandson?'' Göndul teasingly said, making the two children almost faint from embarrassment.
"Fufu, how cute. But enough about your romantic problems for now. Issei, your family would like to meet you today and they will be expecting us in an hour" Göndul explained to the small children, who were still blushing.
Turning her attention towards her granddaughter, she continued "Rose, I'd like you to meet Issei's family as well as you will be spending a lot of time with them in the future" Göndul concluded with a hidden smile.
The children looked at each other in question, not understanding what she meant. ''Mormor, what do you mean..?'' Rossweisse hesitantly asked her grandmother.
"Well, when you marry Issei his family becomes yours as well. You already sleep together and you've kissed him after waking him up after all, so when can I expect a marriage invitation?"
Göndul laughed as she looked at her embarrassed granddaughter, before she fainted together with a blushing Issei. "Life has become a lot more fun ever since Issei-kun joined us" Göndul said as she brought the children to the bathroom.
"Maybe I should leave them together in the bath fufu"
Issei and Rossweisse were both dressed nicely when they made their way out of the bathroom.
Göndul was waiting for them, leaning against the wall.
As soon as the children spotted her, they started to blush again, remembering her words about marriage and sleeping together.
''Issei, are you ready to meet your family?'' She asked as she could see a little nervousness in Issei's eyes.
''I-I don't know, what can I do if they don't like me..'' He softly muttered.
''They will definitely like you'' Rossweisse said as she softly squeezed his hand to give him some courage.
''Thank you Ross-chan'' Issei said as she looked in her eyes.
''Issei-kun..'' Rossweissei returned with a small blush.
''cough..marriage..cough'' Göndul coughed at their scene, making the two blush before giving her an irritated look.
''Let's go you two, we can't let the gods wait. Now pay attention because this is a move I will teach you in the future'' Göndul said as she opened her hands for them to hold
''Ready?'' She excitedly asked as the two quickly grabbed her hands.
''Yes!'' They yelled, before the three were warped away by bending the fabric of space.
Instantaneously, the three warp in front of a large golden palace.
But instead of gasping at all the gold and grandeur, Issei and Rossweisse are still amazed by Göndul her magic.
Sparkles were coming from their eyes as they beamed in her own eyes, almost blinding her with their question.
''When will you teach us Mormor!?'' Rossweisse asked desperately as Issei was grabbing the air to see if he could bend space as well.
''When you're a little older and you're magic reserves have grown a bit'' Göndul replied as she patted her granddaughter on top of her head.
''But we are strong enough to do it now..'' Issei said with a pout.
''Is that so? Alright, you see to bend the fabric of space you need to have an understanding of gravity, relativity laws, and quantum theory. Through understanding these elements you will be able to produce a small wormhole with your magic and basically ''warp'' yourself anywhere you want'' Göndul lectured the clueless children.
Blinking, Issei tilted his head and asked ''Quantum..?''
''That's why I said you need to be a little older'' Göndul replied as she ruffled Issei's hair. ''Now come on you two, the council is waiting for us'' and walked towards a large golden gate.
''Welcome Issei, Rossweisse-chan, and Göndul-sama'' Odin happily said as the three of them were brought to the council room by his guards.
Inside of the council room we could find the majority of the Norse gods and Issei's family.
The only ones that weren't there to great Issei were his new brothers Loki and Thor, as he was afraid to meet his new half-brother, Loki was there to ''support'' him, but in reality was used as a training tool.
''Please be seated everyone'' Odin said towards the council ''Now Issei, why don't you introduce yourself to everyone'' and smiled at his son.
''Okay Tou-san'' He said and turned towards the council.
With a slight tinge of nervousness Issei said ''M-My name is Hyoudou Issei, I'm originally from Japan and have been living with Ross-chan and Göndul for just over a week now'' and nervously smiled.
''Hmm...The land of the Shinto, how fitting.'' Frigg, the earth mother said, before she walked towards him.
Nervously looking up at the beautiful goddess, Issei is quickly pulled into a hug.
''My name is Frigg, but you may call me mother'' The wife of Odin said as she felt his small arms creep around her waist.
Slowly, tears were building up in Issei's eyes ''Kaa-san'' he softly whispered, missing the use of the word for so long.
Frigg is the queen of Asgard, and she is a sorcerer, Frigg means the "beloved one". Frigg is associated with love, marriage, fertility, and motherhood
''My little Issei'' She softly whispered as she held is shaking form tight.
Even the coldest of men or gods would melt at the sight of Issei and Frigg, immediately bonding as mother and son.
''Frigg dear, please give Issei a little space so the others can introduce themselves as well.'' Odin said as he looked at their tender scene.
She slowly let go of Issei, who finally stopped shaking and gave him a small kiss on top of his head, before making her way back to her seat.
''Hmm.. you have a great future ahead of you, my little Issei'' She thought as she used her ''Power of Prophecy''
''...and we are Narf and Vali'' Two stoic looking boys said ''We are your cousins, even though our father Loki is your brother''
Issei brightly smiled at the last of his new family had introduced themselves.
''Ross-chan'' Issei excitedly yelled as he grabbed her hands ''I have so many new uncles, aunties and cousins'' before dragging her in front of the council.
''This is Ross-chan, my best friend'' Issei said as he introduced her to the council.
''Hmm..a little girlfriend already Issei. You really take after your father'' Frigg said as she softly giggled at the embarrassed face of Rossweisse.
''Issei, Today I will introduce you as my son to the 9 world of Yggdrasil'' Odin said as he walked towards him.
''But first Issei, we need to talk'' Odin said and held his son, before teleporting away.
In a large room which gives a view over the entirety of Asgard, Issei and Odin arrive in a blue magic circle.
''Now Issei, do you know why I've brought you here?'' Odin calmly asked a nervous looking Issei.
''Did it have to do something with school? Ross-chan said you would explain it'' Issei answered slowly.
Odin slowly stroke his beard in thought, before answering ''Yes and no, Issei''
''What is the last thing you could remember from your day at school?'' Odin continued in a serious tone, the tone he used as a leader.
After a few minutes of Issei walking around the room, he stopped and answered ''The last thing I could remember was seeing Ross-chan cry, before I heard voices whispering a chant in my ears''
''I see...It's what I was afraid of'' Odin said in a somber tone.
Odin flared his power once to activate a barrier in his room.
''Ddraig, can you hear me?'' Odin asked, causing the boosted gear to appear on Issei's arm.
''Hello again Partner and Norse god.'' a powerful voice answered.
''Can you explain to Issei what happened'' Odin said calmly.
''Partner, those voices were my past possessors. Every single one of them has gone mad after using my forbidden power ''Juggernaut Drive''. When you complete the chantings that you've heard, you surrender your sanity for immense power. But this power comes at the price of using your life force. You basically give up your life for the power to destroy everything, hence my nickname ''The Dragon of Domination'' Ddraig explained to Issei. ''You however went into a frenzy after you saw your future mate crying as she was being bullied by your cousins'' Odin had a large scowl on his face as he heard that the end of his son and maybe even their world was partially caused by his grandchildren. ''Juggernaut drive is activated by emotions like anger, hate and revenge. Your anger was strong enough to start the chants, but as I tried to silence my past possessors, your mate appeared completely unaffected by your power..and the voices just stopped'' Ddraig incredulously explained.
Issei was soaking up all the information, as Odin asked Ddraig ''Did Issei lose any of his life force?''
''Fortunately not'' Ddraig replied ''I was able to halt the process of draconification on his body, but I couldn't prevent him from releasing a small pulse of my dragon aura. I'm pretty sure Níðhöggr the bone eater, and Midgardsormr have identified Issei as my possessor and your son''
''That damned dragon'' Odin thought as he remembered all the problems the laziest of the dragon kings brought. Odin would have already destroyed him if it wasn't for the fact that he was related to the ouroboros dragon Ophis.
''My time is up for now. I will contact you when it is safe for you to use me, till then partner'' Ddraig said, causing Issei to wish him a good rest.
''Do you understand a little about what has happened Issei?'' Odin asked as he kneeled in front of his son.
Issei would only look down in sadness and anger, before softly saying ''...I got lucky didn't I''
''Yes, you did. Together with everyone else in Asgard.'' Odin said as he softly patted his distraught son ''But fortunately Rossweisse was there, she saved us all'' causing Issei to softly smile.
''Issei, I want you to promise me that you will never try to use Juggernaut Drive ever again'' Odin said in his fatherly tone ''We would all be devastated if we would lose you. Especially your mother and me''
Remembering the woman who introduced herself as his new mother, Issei quickly felt a connection with her. This was unknown to him, caused by a small part of Odin's magic, as it held some of Frigg her magic signature.
''I will definitely try'' Issei said, smart enough to make a promise you might not be able to keep.
Odin softly smiled at his son, happy with his response, as he would unleash his own destructive power if something happened to his wife.
''Now Issei, it is time for you to visit our other worlds, to learn more about our world-tree Yggdrasil'' Odin said as he held his son's hand and walked instead of teleport towards the others to spend a bit more time with his latest son.
''It is also time to have a word with my foolish grandsons...should have expected them to have inherited their father's attitude'' Odin thought as he remembered his son Thor to have similar issues in school
''Ross-chan'' Issei happily said as he saw her and Göndul waiting outside. Rossweisse was simply leaning against the wall, completely out of her comfort zone with the people around her, whilst Göndul and Frigg were talking, probably about Issei.
''Issei-kun'' Rossweisse replied as she made her way towards him, back to her happy self now her friend is back.
''Göndul-sama, please show Issei around our worlds. I will let you use my Sleipnir'' Odin said, causing Rossweisse to gasp.
''Sleipnir..?'' Issei asked with an invisible question mark floating over his head.
''Issei, Sleipnir is the fastest horse in existence. It is the symbol of wind, as it can run just as fast through the air as it can over land, and carries the marks of hell to show dominance over all other magical horses.'' Frigg answered as she walked towards Issei.
''Now Issei, you will dress warmly and bring this summoning circle with you to summon me to make you lunch.'' Frigg said as she made Issei wear a large coat. Issei could only blush whilst his family would chuckle at her behaviour.
''Frigg has really, really taken a liking to our new son'' Odin fondly thought as he saw his wife with one of her few real smiles.
Issei's new family waved them off as Issei, Rossweisse and Göndul made their way towards the stables, ready to meet one of his most trusted comrades.
''What a cute boy that Issei'' Frigg fondly said as she waved at Issei and brightened up when he smiled and waved back.
''Hmm.. Issei is pretty cool'' Trud and Modi replied before they both felt a powerful grip on their shoulders.
''My foolish little grandsons, it came to my attention that you have been bothering a certain little friend of Issei'' Odin said as his eyes started to glow in a bright blue color.
His power and magic reserves were more than a match for most as the universe had declared him as the 4th strongest being in existence. Right behind impossible monsters like Great Red, Ophis, and Trihexa.
Feeling their grandfather channel his power, Trud and Modi started to pale as they remembered the little musa as they ''fondly'' called her with Issei.
''Don't worry children, when I'm done with my lecture in the training ground I'm sure you'll be much more appreciative of her.'' Odin continued as he started to drag the screaming and struggling duo towards his private training ground.
''I can't have you bully your future cousin-in-law after all'' Odin silently thought as the struggling duo had resigned themselves to their fate.
''Woohoo!'' Issei yelled as he arrived at the stables with Rossweisse and Göndul.
His yell came from seeing a large grey horse, easily twice the height of a normal horse, but what was more surprising, was the fact that this horse had twice the amount of limbs.
Sleipnir, the horse, focussed it's attention on the loud noise, and saw a small boy with the same aura as his master.
Dipping down his head to take a better look, he could see some similarities between the two.
They made an invisible connection as Issei's eyes started to glow a faint blue, caused by Odin channeling his power in the training ground, and the faint glow of Sleipnir his white eye, representing his mastery over the wind, and his black eye, representing his survival of hell and his dominance over all magical horses.
Rossweisse and Göndul were both confused at what they saw. Rossweisse was impressed that Issei didn't step back when the large horse came towards him, and Göndul was impressed how Sleipnir took an immediate liking to Issei, something that hadn't happened before.
Sleipnir would usually ignore everyone around him, with the exception of Odin and sometimes his wife Frigg, but something about this boy intrigued him to no end, and allowed him to touch him.
''You're a good horsie'' Issei happily laughed as his eyes started to glow more and more whilst petting the Sleipnir, his eyes glowing just the same.
Feeling a faint sign of power coming from Issei, Göndul prepared some anti-dragon magic circles.
''Issei..?'' She asked concerned, remembering what happened at school.
But before Issei could answer, Sleipnir stepped between the two as he felt her powerful magic.
Sleipnir his grey body started to ''grow'' black armour all over his torso, and a black horn, far deeper than the blackness of the eternal abyss, grow out of his head. His legs were slowly covered in a miasma of black and yellow thunder.
But the most terrifying about his transformation were his eyes, eyes that showed his survival of hell, his countless battles through the eons of time, but most of all his willingness to surrender his life for the boy he just met.
As deep power washed over a dumbfounded Göndul, whose knees started to buckle under his aura and malice, Issei could feel the warmth of protectiveness and safety enveloping his body.
The sky started to cloud as Sleipnir his black eye started to glow in destructive power, similar to the hidden power of Odin and Issei.
Göndul couldn't move as this demonic looking warhorse, who looked like he belonged in the middle of a destroyed battleground was aiming his horn at her, which started to glow in the same black as his eye.
''Grrr'' Came from the throat of Sleipnir, and it sickened her.
Souls of fallen warriors who didn't manage to reach Valhalla, were eaten by Sleipnir on the battlefield. These voices, the voices of warriors who were cut apart, ripped apart, shredded and gutted all voiced their hatred through the aura of Sleipnir.
Rossweisse and Issei were both feeling scared as well, when they could feel the bloodlust coming from Sleipnir, seeping all the life and warmth out of the air around them.
Göndul could only look at Sleipnir, terrified as his horn started to crackle with purple lightning, ready to end her life for threatening his new interest.
''I'll never survive lyn samtale'' Göndul thought as she remembered Sleipnir slaying the Norse enemies by the hundreds with one strike.
''Mormor!'' Rossweisse yelled from the side as she was shoved aside by Sleipnir's aura.
Sleipnir intensified the crackling of purple lightning enveloping his horn, close to wiping her away, together with everything a mile behind her.
''Lyn Sa-'' The voices of past warriors started, before something incredulous happened.
Issei stood behind the horse and slapped it's behind.
The entirety of Asgard would have laughed at the scene if it wasn't for how serious the situation was.
Sleipnir watched Issei walk to him before Issei put his hands on Sleipnir his snout.
The demonic looking horse rapidly started to lose his anger as Issei's eyes unconsciously started to glow in a faint blue again, flooding Sleipnir with his own warm and calming aura.
The war horse could do nothing else but to slowly lean in Issei's hands and closed his eyes.
Slowly the sky started to turn blue again, and the voices of hatred retreated back into Sleipnir's mind.
Meanwhile, Rossweisse ran towards her grandmother who was still slightly buckling on her knees.
She calmed down her granddaughter but almost fell down when she saw the peaceful look on the horse that had only known war for the majority of his life.
Slowly stepping back, the faint glow in Issei's brown eyes left as he released the horse, who turned back to the original grey color.
''That's better horsie'' Issei said with a small smile, before making his way towards Göndul.
''Are you okay Göndul?'' Issei worriedly asked her, as she was still looking at Sleipnir.
Göndul softly started to pet Issei's hair, making him look up. ''I almost did something bad Issei-kun'' she confessed.
She explained how she made anti-dragon magic seals when she felt magic coming from Issei.
Instead of an angry outburst she expected, she was surprised to feel him wrap his small arms around her.
''Thank you Baa-chan'' He affectionately said, showing he had no hard feelings.
''I know you meant well. You have both helped me a lot, so if you have to protect me from myself than I would want you to'' Issei softly cried as he hugged his new grandmother figure.
After a few more minutes, as even Rossweisse joined the two, they made their way back to Sleipnir.
Sleipnir bowed to her in apology, which she returned.
''It's time to go now, Issei and Rose. To visit some of the worlds in the world-tree Yggdrasil'' Göndul said, making the children yell and Sleipnir hinnik in agreement.
After a few hours, having visited the worlds of Alfheimr, which housed the light elves, where they were shown around by his classmate Astridr.
Muspelheim, where the god Surtr was kind enough to show them around.
When they reached Vanaheim, it was Göndul who showed them around, telling Issei and Rossweisse that she was born between the union of a normal human from Midgard and a Vanir goddess. It's a well-known fact that Vanir gods have incredible magic skills, rivalling those who live is Asgard.
Later today, after lunch with Frigg, they went to Jotunheim, where Issei and Rossweisse were scared to hear that his father Odin made the entire country by killing the former king of the Jotuns.
His skeleton remains turned into rock, which was true as the entire area were covered in mountain ridges.
The worlds they wouldn't visit today were Niflheim, housing the dead. Nidavellir, housing the dark elves and Helheim, housing the goddess Hel.
She and Sleipnir would immediately start battling if she would see Issei.
So the last world for today was Midgard, home to the humans.
''Rose-chan do you remember the large squirrel we saw walking between Muspelheim and Vanaheim?'' Issei excitedly asked as he was in a happy mood from all the kind people he met today.
''Hmm.. I do, it was Ratatosk. Probably on his way to keep the eagle and dragon in a verbal fight'' Rossweisse answered a little less happy as she saw all these girls today trying to grab her friend's attention.
''Yeah, and the large deer too that was eating all those leaves on top of Yggdrasil'' Issei happily continued, referring to Dain.
''You were quite lucky there Issei-kun'' Göndul said as she listened to their conversation ''Dain usually never shows himself to anyone''
Just like the worlds, Sleipnir also got a lot of attention from Issei, feeding him half of his lunch, shocking both Göndul and Frigg. Rossweisse would just smile at the happiness radiating from her friend.
As they entered Midgard, Issei was sitting on top of the large head of Sleipnir, having a great view of the surrounding area.
''Issei-sama''
''Our allfather's son!''
''What a cutie''
Were being yelled by the men and women who welcomed him to their world.
Issei, Göndul, and Rossweisse would wave back to everyone, warming their spirits at the kindness of the only world without magic users.
Even though she showed a smile, Göndul was balling her fists as she remembered the dragon who lived here in the nearby lake.
(AN: in Chapter 2: I've written Midgardsormr as Jormungandr, they are both the same.)
But as faith would have it, Sleipnir lifted his head up, pointing towards the nearby lake as he found one of his master's enemies, and started to slowly make it's way towards the lake.
Arriving at a large lake, Issei and Rossweisse are both amazed by its size and it's beauty, whilst Göndul and Sleipnir carefully look over the water, ready to attack at the first disruption on the surface of the water.
As they keep looking at the surface, Issei and Rossweisse have already made their way towards the lake, waaaay too close for comfort if Göndul had paid attention.
Inside of the lake, they could see a tail, a very thin tail like it belonged to a fish. And as the curious children they are, they pull.
Not known to both of them, Midgardsormr is the longest dragon in existence, longer than Great Red, as it lives and sleeps in the lake.
Right now, they are pulling on the tail of a sleeping dragon.
A large growl could be heard, coming from the depths of the lake.
''Huh.. Issei, Rose get here fast!'' Göndul yelled in fright as she magically dressed herself in her Valkyrie outfit.
Sleipnir also recognized the growl, and started his transformation again, only this time his armor turned white and his horn turned into a pure ray of white lightning.
Rossweisse and Issei ran fast as the sounds behind them grew louder and louder.
"ROOAAAOOORRR'' Came from an annoyed voice at the other side of the lake, as the large head of a serpentine dragon ascended from the water.
Red glowing eyes searched around the shores of the lake, till they spotted several powerful magic signatures.
Issei and Rossweisse could only gulp loudly when its eyes were set upon them.
It slowly slithered over the water towards them, causing Göndul to prepare her magic circles and Sleipnir to unleash his aura of light and purity, as they were increased by Issei's vicinity.
Midgardsormr suddenly sped up and towered over the group, his teeth were shining in the sun as it unleashed a massive...Yawn..?
''YYYYAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWNNNNNNNN''
''Eehh..'' Issei said as he slowly opened his eyes to see a large laid back dragon looking bored at him.
Rossweisse, who was currently shaking in Issei's chest, was also surprised to find out she wasn't swallowed whole yet.
''Sigh, why did you disturb me, uncle?'' Midgardsormr asked in a bored, but polite tone.
''W-What do you mean ''uncle'' ? I don't look like you at all'' Issei answered in a small voice as the large dragon was still looking at him.
''Your brother, Loki, is my father'' He answered casually.
Sleipnir and Göndul were still ready to attack, but both noticed how calm the dragon was, far calmer than he was the last time they've fought him.
''Why aren't you attacking us?'' Göndul voiced her thoughts, ready to jump him the second he became a threat.
''Hmm...Göndul the Valkyrie..it's been a while..'' Midgardsormr yawned out.
''The last time we fought was when you fought my son!'' She yelled out in anger ''SO WHY AREN'T YOU ATTACKING US NOW!''
But instead of an answer, the large dragon was asleep with a little drool coming from his mouth.
Tickmarks appeared on the faces of Issei, Sleipnir, and Göndul.
Rossweissei however, started to cry in pain and agony, finally having found the murderer of her parents.
Even though her power could never hurt one of the dragon kings, she started to bombard the sleeping dragon with her thunder magic.
The aura around Midgardsormr, even whilst he is asleep, is dense enough to let the thunder fizzle out before it hit him.
''Rose..'' Göndul sadly muttered, afraid that this would happen.
''Mormor..'' Rossweisse cried as she fell on her knees after she almost completely emptied her magic reserves.
''…..''
''…..''
''…. lyn samtale'' Issei yelled in anger.
His command caused a shot of pure white lightning to pierce the sky, before it went through the dragon's body.
''AAAAARRGGHH'' Midgardsormr roared as he had a painful awakening.
Large burns and flames appeared all over his snake-like body.
''W-What are you do-'' Midgardsormr started, before swallowing as he looked at his cousin.
Issei was seated on the back of Sleipnir, who was still in his white armor.
As their eyes were closed, lines of dark blue started to appear on the faces of Issei and Sleipnir, slowly crawling down to where Issei was seated.
With the connection made, their eyes suddenly opened up, as blue as the arctic sea and both gave a small grin.
''Why did you do it'' Issei and Sleipnir asked in the same voice.
As one, they slowly walked closer to Midgardsormr, who was still trying to douse the flames.
''Why did you have to take Rose-chan her parents'' They continued as a blue aura appeared around them.
''Issei..'' Rossweisse thought as she heard Issei's angry and sad voice.
A pale blue color started to envelop the white horn.
''No way, Odin-sama's destructive magic..'' Göndul thought with her eyes wide open ''How can a 7-year old already control it to such a degree''
Channelling more power in the horn, Issei made his proclamation.
''You have to apologize to Rose-chan when she is older. Or your dragon pride will become your downfall'' The combined voice of Issei and Sleipnir shouted.
''But now.. Pay for your crime. Hevn av den uskyldige!'' They shouted, as they instantly moved in front of Midgardsormr and stabbed his eye.
Even the powerful dragon king couldn't follow the movements of Sleipnir and screamed in pain when his eye was pierced.
''RAAAARGHH'' He screamed in pain.
All the pain he felt over his body was enough for him to return back to his den in the lake, and quickly slithered away.
''Haaaah..'' Issei breathed out as the deep blue lines started to disappear from his body.
''Issei-kun, are you okay?'' Rossweisse softly asked as she and Göndul made their way to the surprising duo.
''Yep!'' Issei said with his thumbs up, before he fell off Sleipnir when Rossweisse jumped on top of him.
She started to sob loudly in his chest, saying ''Thank you'' over and over again, as he tried to get a small bit of revenge for her.
''Issei-kun, how did you know you had to attack Midgardsormr his eyes'' Göndul asked as she checked him and Sleipnir over.
''Ooh I saw a few flashes in my mind.. showing me what would happen if I attacked his snout, nose or eyes'' Issei answered as he rubbed his chin.
''Issei what are you..'' Göndul thought as she gave him a small smile ''The power of the Allfather and our queen is already crawling through your veins, where will it end.''
''Let's go home children, I think a warm meal would do us well after today'' Göndul said with a smile, before the three teleported home, whilst Sleipnir stretched his legs a little more and ran all the way home, right through the air.
Inside of the council room, seated on top of the highest throne, we can find Frigg smiling as she looked out of the window.
''Hmm...so my little son has already found a way to use my Power of Prophecy huh'' She thought with a giggle.
''Well, as long as you and that little girl will be together, I don't mind you using it'' Frigg said to no one and got up from her seat.
''We will make you strong my son. With you, our people will never see Ragnarok'' She smiled and made her way towards her bedroom.
Inside her bedroom, Odin was already waiting and opened the windows when his ravens Huginn and Muninn were ticking their beak on the glass.
His crows fly out every day across the worlds to collect information.
They started to whisper words of all the worlds into his ears.
A small frown could be seen on his face after hearing something particular.
''Hmm..this could be troublesome'' Odin thought as one of his ravens spoke about Issei defeating Midgardsormr.
''Well, let's worry about it tomorrow'' Odin thought as he felt his wife her signature appear in their bedroom.
''Hmmm.. Issei-kun'' Rossweisse softly said as she was lying on top of Issei.
''Rose-chan, did you have fun today?'' Issei asked as he was basking in her warmth.
''I did, even after everything that happened'' She answered as she started to kiss him.
''Hmm.. I really liked how you started to call me Rose-chan'' and kept continuing Issei.
''Rose-chan calm down please..'' Issei said with a small blush as she covered his face with small kisses.
''Nope'' She answered with a small kiss, before grabbing him very tight, almost painfully.
''I'm never letting you go Issei-kun. Never ever. I love you after all'' Rossweisse said, without any form of blush this time as she spoke straight from her heart.
''That's good to hear because I don't plan to leave you alone'' He replied as he held her close.
Within 10 minutes, only soft snores could be heard from their room.
Inside a small cave in the lake, where Midgardsormr made its den, we can find the large dragon nursing its wounds.
Suddenly, a black mist could be spotted in the corner of his eyes.
''Midgardsormr'' an emotionless voice said which was near the hurt dragon.
''Ouroboros'' he replied in a painful voice.
In the light of the moon, a small girl with black hair and grey eyes became visible.
''What, has happened?'' she emotionlessly asked.
''My past'' He hissed as her cold hands focussed on his damaged eye.
''Hmm...Ddraig?'' She muttered as she could detect a little bit of his draconic signature in the wound.
''The son of Odin'' Midgardsormr breathed out as his wound closed up.
'' I, see. Sleep'' Ophis said, and he did what his creator told him to.
Eons worth of wisdom were assaulting her mind as she remembered the prophecy the universe foretold her.
''It, is time'' Ophis thought as her eyes bored into the universe, seeing things no mortal could ever hope to comprehend.
A small black cloud was the last that could be seen as she warped away.
That was the 4th chapter
I hope you guys liked it because I had a lot of difficulties coming up with kind of the waking up intro and meeting his family, I'm happy it will be a bit easier to write as soon as we reach the canon.
But besides the parts I've mentioned I'm pretty happy with the chapter.
Anyways 2 chapters from now, Issei will meet the Devils, so don't you worry guys, that when the real stuff happens :)
Next Chapter: Chapter 5: Timeskip – Meeting the Ancient Mythologies.
