Author's Notes - you know, the stuff that doesn't get me sued, or beat up by my friends

As always, I don't own Ragarok. If I did all my characters would be 99 transcendants and I would have money. Oh, and the bots would all be burning in Rachel's new Ice Dungeon. And NO, they don't get popsicles! I own the characters, AxiaDrake, Tatiana, Saphia, Callista, MistressAxia, Jasmine, Lily, Arden, Lachlan, Vidicar, Ryan, Faellia, Valkyries, Shaun, Rian, Aila, Axis and the new char that I am introducing Jaime, as well as Jalyner who's name is being introduced this chapter

All other chars belong to my friends AldoTeng who owns Limpeh and Lexkai, Kiniro owns himself, my friend Des owns his characters AuroraGoddess and Zenia-chan, Dex owns Bizi and the stupid wizard from LoaD, and my ingame husband Isagani owns himself and Sirano. Eilix is own by the lovely aussie Olga, and Demise is her guild. Character Batouchu is owned by Olga...I mean Batouchu. Nox is owned by Sarah, and she is gathering the men for her army of maleslaves very shortly. Espi is a wonderful Scandinavian gentlemen that I was never able to corrupt (sob...) and he owns the character. Calle is owned by Caleb, Valkyrie is owned by the hotness of Andrew.

One thing I do want to mention, the char Fayd is actually a good friend of Kiniro's and is where the inspiration came from. Main reason I mention this now, is that in my former guild there is a crusader named Fayt, so just to point out, there is no relation, though he currently has no issue with it!

Everyone in this story, with the exception of Aldo is on IroChaos. He is from Mro, where he has a 99 Clown. Grats to Calle and Kiniro for having 99 Sniper and Minstral. Zenia is getting close to that, so when that happens I will let you all know!

Now that this is out of the way...

Chapter 34

Jalyner was very apprehensive about the lord of this world. He could see the harsh stares he was getting, especially from Caden and Valkyrie. After having Valkyrie's memories, he could see how much it hurt having this brought out. When he had told Axia that it had been a long time for him, he had not been lying. Valkyrie may still be married to the dancer, but has not taken a woman in 15,000 years. Their marriage was long over, being the fact that the first dancer was in a crystal shard cocoon. Which he has not told anyone. Not even his master knew that and he felt, for everyone protection, that he would keep it this way. At least for now.

Caden, he remembered from Valkyrie's memories, was highly protective of his mother, since she was such a forgiving soul. It was like he was her white knight, as his temperament was far more like his uncle, then his parents. If anyone, he feared him. Being such an incredible being on his own, and with the recall abilities of his mother and father, two very powerful archer classes, and his introduction to the Rogue abilities from his grandfather, Caden was a force to be reckoned with.

As he approached the Lord, he swore he could see him smile. He then wondered what Odin had planned for him. Coming over to him, Odin placed a hand on him.

"I had been looking for you, my dear boy. You have caused great grief over the ages." he said sternly

"Because of what you did my lord, you made me this way." he hissed at the great lord

"I am aware of this young man. And for that, I am sorry. When I chose the place of the assention, I did not see your family. By the time I was aware of it, it was too late. But the fact that you survived it, states a lot my boy." Odin said to him

"I survived by instinct alone. I have taken lives I have not wished, and this was my punishment. I can't even grow up. I have had to look fourteen for 20,000 years MY LORD" he spat at him, nearly hissing in his rage.

"The fact that you have chosen to stand by my grandchildren, proves to me, that you are worthy of a gift my dear boy." Odin said to him and with that released his hand from his shoulder and then with the same hand, blew what appeared to be sparkles on him.

"What did you do..." Jalyner said as he began to hiss from the pain. Smoke began to rise from him, starting at his feet and reaching above him. As the smoke got thicker, it took on a greenish haze and looked like green fire surrounding him.

"WHAT DID YOU DO!!" he began screaming as the pain became more then he could bear. He then turned towards Axia and saw the tears in her eyes, as she could feel his pain, as she was still connected to him. As she attempted to move towards him, Aldo held her back, and kept a firm grip on her. Struggling against him, she scrambled to get near him, as the burning pull to be near him, was tearing her apart. She almost succeeded in tearing herself away from Aldo, when Valkyrie stepped up and held her other side

"No, Axia! Trust in my father." he murmured against her, as this was the closest he had gotten to her, and for the first time, breathed in his soulmate.

"I have to be with him" she sobbed against the two men, as with their combined strength, they were preventing her from reaching him. The steeds then disappeared, and the rest of the room could see what was happening, and they sprang into battle ready stance.

"AXIA!!" Jalyner screamed, his arm reaching out from the flames. Parts of the edges of his swordsman clothing were burnt off, and his hand was badly chard.

"Jalyner..." Axia sobbed against the shoulder of Valkyrie, as he was standing in front of her, preventing her from moving forward to him.

"Axia, do you really want this..." he asked, as her tears had created the link between them by it dropping onto his cheek, as they were the same height, and his skin absorbing it. He could now sense everything about her, and not the way that Jalyner had done it before.

"He NEEDS me" her own soul cried out.

At that, both Aldo and Valkyrie heard and felt that need, and released her. And she ran towards the fire

"Mother NO!" Caden cried out, as his sister turned her head into his shoulder, unwilling to bear the image of her mother dying at the eerie green fire.

She then grasped Jalyner's hand, and he pulled her in.

Inside the green fire, Jalyner held Axia. As he held her, the pain subsided almost immediately, and he didn't feel that he was being burned alive any longer. In fact, he felt warm and good. A feeling he barely remembered, as he had not felt like this, since he had been with his parents.

"Jalyner..." she sighed as he held her against him. She then felt something very strange. He was warm, and she could make out a heart beating

"Jalyner, your heart..." she whispered against him, as the fires surrounding them dissipated and they were surrounded by their family again

"Jalyner, I have given you a great gift. Use it wisely" Odin said to him smiling

Jalyner then looked down at himself, and gasped. He was no longer wearing swordsman clothing, but a Lord Knight's finery. And he was now a great deal taller then Axia.

"Your hair..." she said, softly stroking him, as she ran her hand through his now silvery hair. It ran far past his shoulders, though she suspected she would have to look behind him to do so. She put that thought away for now, as she had two other soulmates to deal with, and one of them was far too possessive to share.

"Sire, what did you do to me?" he asked Odin

"Aged you for one thing. You are now the equivalent of 30 years of age. Same as Axia and Aldo. Also gave you the height that you were, when you assumed my son. That is what your height should have been if you had been allowed to grow up. And by the way, your hair is natural. It would have gone this white on its own, had you been given the chance to grow up." Odin said with a smile.

"So what does this all mean now my lord?" Axia asked Odin

"Now what it means, is that you have a Lord Knight with the power of the Doppleganger, and his natural MvP status at your side. As your husband. They all are now." Odin said

"How the HELL did you manage that!" Eilix said coming up to the couple

"Simple. Your church is the one that says one man, one woman. I don't live by those rules. Axia is unique in her tying to 3 souls. So they are all her husband now, by my right as God of this Realm." he said, looking at the shocked faces of Aldo and Valkyrie.

"Father, WHY?" Valkyrie said, elated and shocked at the same time

"Because, you deserve happiness my son." he told him, as he knew what had happened to his son's wife

"What about Tiara?" he whispered to his father

"Tiara is fine with it. And I have moved her, so she is in my realm" he said naming the first dancer

"Who is Tiara?" Ciana said coming up to them

"Your descendant princess. She was the first ruler of Rune-Midgar and chose to take the mantle of Axis to protect her kingdom. But something went wrong, and she was encased for all time in a crystal shard. She is aware, but unable to leave." Valkyrie said of his former wife. "So father, if I am now married to Axia, how did you arrange the dissolution of my marriage to Tiara?" he said to his father

"Easy, I asked her. She agreed, as she hated being in your bed any ways." Odin said flippantly as
Valkyrie went scarlet red in embarrassment

"Father!!" he said as giggles could be heard throughout the room from some of the women inside.

"Relax son, even if she did like women, she agreed to marry you to make you King. You know that." Odin said

"Wait a minute! You're a King of Rune-Midgar?" Axia said, still in Jalyner's arms, as he had not let her go yet.

"Yes, and once a king, always a king. That does make you my queen Axia. You know this right?" Valkyrie said, coming up to her and taking her out of Jalyner's arms.

"Valkyrie..." Aldo began to growl and Valkyrie could hear behind him "Go Dad!" from Caden

"That does it!" Callista said drawing a shocked look from the people in the room

Callista walked over to Nox and whispered something to her and then she walked over to Axia, and grabbed her and then snatched her out of the room. And at that, every female disappeared through Nox's warp portal.

Dun Dun Dun...I am so evil...
