Hey guys, Flipkicks here and today I bring is a new chapter for "Memories of the Reaper", thank you guys for checking out the story and letting me know what you all thought of the previous chapter.
The first part of the chapter is going to be elsewhere and the last part is goin back to Ichigo and Co.
I do not own neither series.
The Start of...
Unknown Location,
'So this is how my end will start...'an elderly man with long, grey hair, and a matching beard. He wears an eyepatch over his left eye. This is Odin, AllFather of the Norse Mythology, the King of the Aesir Gods.
For sometime, he has been watching and observing the world and could see that the pinnacle of his life is coming, the doomsday of the Norse Mythos, Ragnarok. The end of the Norse Mythology and his death. This has been foretold since the ancient times and the key moment is the death of his eldest son, Baldur. One of his wives, Freya or Frigg as her pet name by Odin, couldn't bare to lose her own son and the stepping stone of the end of times, Ragnarok.
Of course this drew his son into madness and his distrust of his own mother and father as they wanted to make sure that his death is avoidable but to Baldur's eyes, this was an act of stupidity in his mind. He's a god for sake and is indestructible and he would soon leave Asgard.
Odin could only blame himself as he was the one who foresaw the events that would lead up to Ragnarok. He saw the deaths of himself, his second oldest son and the god of thunder Thor, his third adopted son Loki and the other Norse Gods.
"Odin?" He turns around to his attendant, Rossweisse, a beautiful young woman with long, straight silver hair and aqua colored eyes who appears to be in her late teens. Her attire is normally of a set of Valkyrie armor, which consists of a white breastplate with gold and pale blue accents and matching, fingerless gauntlets, boots, hip guards, and wing-shaped hair clips. She also wears a black leotard underneath her breastplate, black thigh-high stockings, and a pale blue cloth wrapped underneath her hip guards, all of which are clad with pink lacing along with her hair clips.
"Yes Rossweisse?"
"You've been looking at that tablet for some time now. Are you okay?" She inquired Odin.
"Always trying to look out for this old man." He mutters to himself as he stands up with the tablet in his hands, "I'm afraid my dear, that my time is almost." He stated to the silver haired late teen.
"What do you mean by that Lord Odin?" Rossweisse asks the AllFather, curious as to why his time is almost up.
"Have you heard of the story of Ragnarok?" He questions the Valkyrie.
"Of course." She nods her head, "It was prophesied that the end of days is near for the Norse Mythos with the deaths of Odin, you sir, Thor Odinson and Loki Odinson are destined to die." She then gives him a worried expression on her face, "Why bring this up?"
He could only sigh as Rossweisse has stated the truth of Ragnarok. The deaths of himself and the deaths of his sons but there are other factors into the matter.
"My son Baldur, is destined to die and that will start the process of Ragnarok but the runes didn't foretell on how or why he was killed until I found this." He hands her the tablet and flips it, "This boy will kill my son." He shows her a picture of a spiky orange haired late teen, "Ichigo Kurosaki. The Substitute Soul Reaper of Shintoism."
"Ichigo Kurosaki?" She raises an eyebrow and continues to question her boss, "Why is Shintoism getting into other Mythologies's businesses?"
"The ancient runes stated that he will kill my son and he will only do so in terms of defending his family, his friends and love ones." He leans back on his chair and continues on, "This boy has been foretold to be an incredible threat to any Mythologies but he is more of a protector than a destroyer." Rossweisse gives off a confuse expression on her face, "From what I could tell is that he is a gentle and kind young man to those who know him but to his enemies, he's a serious threat."
"You've been spying on him sir?"
"I had one of my Valkyries place some runes in a town called 'Karakura Town' in Japan so that I can know who this young man that is destined to kill my own son. It was 2 years ago during a war called 'The Winter Wars' Soul Reapers against a traitor of their ranks and beings called 'Arrancars' where he fought against foes that are on either my level, a middle class Devil Rank or a lower class Devil. He was considered to be the key factor as he was the one to defeat the traitorous Soul Reaper. Couple of months later, he fought against his own Blood Line, the Quincy's."
"Quincy's?"
"They are the polar opposites of the Soul Reapers as the SR are more in terms of balance while the Quincy's are on destroying the balance between life and death. Reincarnation, a world without death and people could live on. Their leader, Yhwach, is stated to be one of the strongest beings in all of Shintoism besides the Great Deities like Izanagi, Izanami and so on. Only Ichigo Kurosaki could have stopped him and he was the one to kill Yhwach and stop his plans."
"How strong is he?"
"Ichigo Kurosaki is stated to be the strongest Soul Reaper in all of existence. He is a hybrid of different subgroups in Shintoism from a Soul Reaper, a Pure Blood Quincy and has the heart and instincts of a Hollow, making him a sought after person." Rossweisse didn't think that this young man is considered to be sought after.
From what she could tell is that he is handsome delinquent with orange spiky hair and is a dangerous person if she were to make enemies with him. There are things that she might need to know on who he really is but there are somethings that are missing for her. Such as is he educated and a good man or a poor kid with some unfortunate moments in his life. Is he cheap like her? A Virgin? Well there are a lot of questions she wants to know on this guy.
"While it may be a bit earlier but I do plan on meeting the Devils as he is unknowingly in their territory." That raises an eyebrow from her.
"What do you mean by that Lord Odin?"
"From what my sources say, Ichigo Kurosaki has amnesia and is under the protection of Rias Gremory, the next heir to the Gremory Clan and the young sister of the current Lucifer, Sirzechs Lucifer."
"Could he had lost his memories during his fight with Yhwach?" She suggested to the AllFather and that could actually fit into the sources.
"That could be a possible fit." Odin cups his chin and thinks, 'It does make a lot of sense but the question is how did he? Was the final attack that great to send wherever he was into Kuoh Town? Or was it during the impact?' He has to figure out as to why the teen lost his memories.
From what Odin has found out that Ichigo was spotted in Kuoh Town under the alias N (Nyx or Noctis by Rias and Akeno) and he unlocked a far greater power in awakening his Sacred Gear, The Blade of Tohsaka, the sword that once belong to Izanagi. He is also has two different tattoo's on both of his wrists, the Royal 13 and the 15th Heir to the Yore Throne. Shintoism and Christianity, to think there was a combination in the form of Ichigo Kurosaki.
"My lord, would you want me to go to Kuoh Town and find out?" Rossweisse asks her superior.
"Not yet Ross. I'll send a letter to Rias Gremory explaining as to why you are there. In 2 days time, I'll send you there and she could use the help." Nodding her head, Rossweisse takes her leave but Odin sighs as he could feel his son now heading to Kuoh Town and perhaps meet his end at the hands of Ichigo Kurosaki. 'Baldur, you blind fool. You can't help is that you wanted the freedom of being a God but your mother knows that you are too reckless and only see destruction of everything.'
Rias's Apartment, N's Room
Same Day, 7 in the morning.
'Why can't Akeno let go!' N is still having trouble trying to get free of Akeno's grasp but every time he does manage to free himself, Akeno unconsciously made sure that her body pillow in N doesn't leave her.
While he maybe a guy, for some reason, N feels like he doesn't earn this. He doesn't earn Akeno being in his bed, in some lacy lingerie, as he still questions if they are good people or Devils. All he has been doing is questioning if they are good in general.
He questioned on possibly siding with the Fallen Angels with Yuuma helping him regain his lost memories but Rias puts her family's name and her honor that she will be the one to help him regain his lost memories.
'Damnit as a man of integrity, I will survive! I will survive!'' For some reason, the American song 'I will Survive' started going into his head, 'Wait a minute, I'm not American! How in the hell do I know that song?!'
He tries to wiggle himself out of Akeno's iron grasp but being the tough woman on him, Akeno refuses to let go and unknowingly, she puts herself on top of him, making the orange haired late teen blush deep red and a bit of blood starting to come out of his nose, which is something uncharacteristic of him doing. He could also feel her assets on him and for some reason they feel nice.
'Damnit I'm a man of purity! I will not succumb to the dark side!' He still tries to keep his cool until he felt Akeno coming towards his face.
"My Nyx-kun..." She purrs his name and N got the idea that it must be something exotic.
'We're not even dating damnit!' He yells out in his head, 'Last time I checked, I'm single! Your Single! We're friends of sorts!'
Akeno is sure as hell not making this easy for N as he desperately tries to find a way out of this situation but nope, there wasn't one for him and the beauty on top of him.
'I swear that everything is holy: Please get me out of this!'
While N is struggling and the girls asleep, it was going to be a peaceful morning and a school day for the three of them but a very tall, though still much shorter in comparison with N, with icy blue eyes and a beaded brownish beard. He wears a dark and brown skins from his waist down, leaving his top half completely exposed to the elements. On his body he had several distinct tattoos of runes in ancient Norse language.
'He must be here...' The Stranger suggested to himself as he has a feeling that the answer he is looking for is in this apartment complex. He simply walks into the apartment complex and finds a way to find Rias's apartment. 'I don't care what mother says, all I want is to feel again! I don't care about Ragnarok! I only want to feel again!'
And that ends the chapter guys! Odin, Rossweisse and Baldur make their appearance in the story and Baldur plays the role as one of the stories main antagonists but not the main antagonist. There is going to be a bit of a God of War 2018 subplot in the story as I genuinely love the game.
Since Loki did mention that he wanted to start Ragnarok, he is one of the key players in the matter from the stories of Ragnarok to the movie (Thor Ragnarok) and the anime series (DXD) I wanted to add that into the story besides Ichigo trying to regain his memories.
Since there is going to be several main antagonists in the story, there are about couple of different arcs that I want to do in the story. The first one is mainly with Ichigo regaining his memories and as the story progresses, he wants to know his role as the 13th Heir to the Royal 13 and the 15th heir to the Kings of Yore which is going to be the second arc (The Excalibur Arc is also included in the arc) and the End of Days Arc (Ragnarok).
Those are 3 arcs that I have been thinking of doing and I will make sure to give time for Ichigo to develop proper relationships with the girls.
I hope to hear what you guys think of the chapter and as always I'll talk to you all later.
