Hey guys, Flipkicks here and today I bring you a new side chapter for "A Reaper's Promise", thank you guys for checking out the story and letting me know what you all thought of the previous chapter.
Review:
SonicDude8: That's just how I write. I know I can write a bit more but that's just how my writing style is. Don't get me wrong as I do love long chapters but for me to write that long will take forever for me.
This side chapter is to introduce 2 main characters into the story.
I do not own neither series or the characters in the story.
Sidestory: Gods
Unknown Location
'I finally have them.' A smile appears on mid-teen, who has brown eyes and shoulder-length blonde hair that is usually tied by ribbons in a variety of colors in a small ponytail to the right side of her head with the rest of the hair loose. She is wearing a blue sweater with white lines going through the sleeves and black jeans. Her name is Lucy Heartfilia, Greek demigod and she practices the art of Celestial Summoning.
It was something her deceased mother has taught her before her untimely death and was raised by her 'Uncle' where as her father was also killed. She vowed to be the summoner that her mother was originally going to be.
Right now, Lucy was on top of a huge mountain that she has climbed to find the last golden key of the Zodiacs.
"Come to momma." She places the key onto her waist along with the other keys she has found during her little journey away from home. "That's 10 keys down and 2 to go."
"LUCY!" She looks down to hear her best friend calling to her, probably a couple 100 feet down. "We better get going now! The blizzard is about to start."
"Okay!" She yells back and begins her descent down the mountain with her whip that was once wield by her mother. She has grown used to these high altitudes before during her journey but at first she was mainly afraid until her 'Uncle' has taught her to get used to her near godlike durability as he demonstrated falling from 1,000's of feet above without having any injuries but for her, she would mostly prefer climbing back down.
Once she is down, Lucy places her whip in her backpack and takes out a blue crystal.
"You ready to go home Pyrrha?" Lucy asks her best friend in Pyrrha Nikos.
Pyrrha Nikos has been Lucy's best friend since their childhood. She has red hair in a waist-length ponytail, curled slightly into a loose ringlet, and had vivid green eyes. She also wore light-green eyeshadow around the far upper corners of her eyes. She was tall and quite muscular compared to her best top consisted of two layers. The top layer was a light-brown, strapless top split divided vertically with some bronze patterns. It is quite stiff, maintaining its shape without support; this layer also has riveting or small, round embroidery on the sides, indicating heavy stitching. The bottom layer is a low bronze V-neck. Pyrrha wore an elastic, black, A-line miniskirt and brown opera-length gloves on both arms. She wore a red ankle-length drapery that wrapped around her skirt.
There was a small circular bronze plate by her right hip opposite two pouches with both connected to a belt. The plate bears her "shield and spear" emblem. She wore a bronze circlet headpiece that could be seen above her ear and under her bangs. A pair of small, green, teardrop-shaped emeralds hang from her circlet on thin chains. She also sported a large bronze gorget around her neck, and a bronze bracelet on the upper half of her left arm. Even when dressed in her school uniform, Pyrrha continued to wear her headpiece.
Unlike her best friend, Pyrrha wore armor. She had elaborate bronze greaves that start below her mid-thigh, continuing downwards into her boots and a pair of cuisses that begin mid-thigh and end slightly above her knees. She also donned a bronze bracer on top of the sleeve on her left arm, which was able to connect and disconnect from her shield easily. Her high-heeled boots are brown with bronze trim, matching her skirt and sleeves, and reach up to mid-calf.
"Yea. Just hope your dad won't kill me for taking you." Lucy said a bit worryingly of her 'Uncle's wrath.
"I'm sure he will understand Lucy." Pyrrha grabs on to Lucy's left shoulder as she uses the blue crystal to teleport themselves back home.
Pyrrha's Home
Once they were now home, both teens were in front of the door until they felt a very similar aura.
"Father." Pyrrha turns around to see her father carrying a dead animal on his shoulders.
"Pyrrha. Lucy. About time you girls got home." Her father stated plainly and heads into their home, placing their food in the back of the small home.
He is exceptionally tall, standing at a height between 6 to 7 feet, in which, due to his status a warrior, he is at his peak physical condition. He has wrinkles on his face. His goatee has is bushy, full beard which covers half his face and has several gray hairs. His skin is still pale as white, and his tattoos have faded slightly. He has two noticeable scars on his body, one on the lower right of his right eye and his abdomen.
"Did you find what you were looking for Lucy?" Her Uncle asks her as he takes out a hatchet and begins cutting the animal into pieces.
"Y-yes Uncle. I found the Golden Zodiac Key of Gemini." Lucy shows the golden key to her Uncle.
"Good." He places his hatchet down and begins to clean his hands, "Lucy. Pyrrha." Both girls look at their father-figure in the eyes as he continues, "There is going to be another great war of the world again." Both girls look extremely nervous as to what he has to say, "I fear that you girls will be caught in by these unknown perpetrators but fear not as I have an ally coming to pick you girls up."
"What do you mean father?" Pyrrha questions her father, "What do you mean a another great war?"
"She's right Uncle. We don't know what this great war you are speaking of." Lucy added.
"There was a time that God himself fought against his brother in the old tale of Heaven vs Hell. Even the Greek Gods were involve, including myself when I was young. During the fight, the Greek Gods turn themselves against me and I had no choice but to get my revenge on them and I sided with Gabriel and her bother Michael. I am all that is left of the Greek Gods as you both know. You two are the remaining descendants of the Greek Gods and you two need to head out to the Norse Deity Chief Odin."
"But Father, you know I can help you." Pyrrha wanted to stay with her father but he doesn't want his only family to be caught in this.
"No Pyrrha. You have yet to prove yourself. You may show some potential with your custom weaponry but it still won't prove enough against these greater foes ahead." Her father stated to her and he continues on, "You and Lucy will head to Valhalla and meet with Odin. He will train the both of you as I won't."
"But why's that Uncle?" Lucy questions her uncle.
"Because I will remain here and defend this land. I'm the most powerful demigod that Mount Olympus has made and I will do what I can to buy you both time. Besides..." He summons his war axe that was on the wall to him. "They can't bring down the God of War."
"If you wish father, I won't get in your way."
"Good. Get all the things you need. My contact will be here in a few minutes." Both girls nodded their heads and headed into their room, packing whatever they needed. 'Hopefully this new girl Odin is powerful as he says...' He then continues on gathering whatever weapons me might need to defend this land against it's new foes.
As he continues to prepare himself, there was a guest, who is wearing a silver and gold Valkyrie-like suit of armor with a shield on her left arm. She has a new gunblade more closely resembling a traditional doubled-edged sword, which has a few prays of Odin written.
"Kratos I presume?" He turns around to see young woman with rose pink hair. "I'm Lightning. Odin's new Valkyrie. I'm here to pickup your children."
"Yes. Lucy, Pyrrha, your protector is here." He said loud enough for them to hear him, "Protect them with your life."
"I will sir. You won't be disappointed." She nods her head as the two girls come out with the items they needed.
"Good. Pyrrha, Lucy." He turns his attention to his daughters, "Do your best and make sure that you both train yourselves out there. There are things in this world, even I don't know. Lightning will do whatever she can to train both of you and teach you the hunting skills you both need." Both girls nodded their heads and both of them hugged their father/uncle.
"We will."
And that ends the side chapter guys! Kratos has appeared and he will be only a minor to supporting character to Pyrrha and Lucy. His role is that of his current new role as a father and as a mentor to both of them. He will appear later in the story for those who are going to ask.
Lucy and Pyrrha have finally made their appearance in the story (Besides the omake chapter) and will meet Ichigo later in the story as well. Also those who are asking about Weiss and Blake, both of them will make their appearance in the later part of the story.
I hope to hear what you guys think of the chapter and as always, I;ll talk to you all later.
