I wrap my arms around him and hold him close as he limps. Magne told us to run so we had,but we can't run fast. I take him to the car and put him in the passenger. "Where are the keys?" I ask him and he gasps "Left..pocket". I grab the keys and start the car.
We drive as far away from Edda as possible. I park in front of a motel and look him to see any external wounds. I turn off the car and bring him into the motel. Once were in the room I lay him on the bed and take off his jacket. Looking at him I just see those strange inhuman eyes even though they are no longer that way.
" What are you?"
Those are the words that escape my mouth and yet my eyes widen when I hear them. For a couple seconds he doesn't say anything but then he says something I never thought he would hear. 'I...I am..well I'm a..a giant" Fjord says the last part almost in a whisper. I try to look him in the eyes but he won't return my gaze, almost as if he is scared. Then my mind process what he has said and I cant picture anything but a big huge version of a human.
This of course doesn't match what I saw when his eyes changed. "A giant as in Jack in the Beanstalk, giant?" I ask not able to picture anything eles when he says that word. He shakes his head and he tells me that his species are more like the Titans in Greek Mythology. That they came before the gods, are the ancestor of the gods, and were dethroned by the gods. Hearing him compare his species to the Titians from Greek Mythology help me understand better what his species is but there are so many things I don't know.
I noticed that throughout all this he doesn't even look at me at all. No matter how I try to catch his gaze but he won't. "Why won't you look at me? I mean if I didn't know any better I would think you were scared of me" I tell him in worry and gently grabbing his hand. Holding his hand seems to have been the right move for he grips mine tightly in his own. "I am scared what you will think of me or if you will want to leave me after I tell you it all" Fjord explains to me and fear as well as worry are shown into his eyes.
"Why are you scared? I mean I can't do anything to you, your basically a god" My head tilts in confusion and he takes my hand above his heart. "I may be a god in a sense but your the first person I've ever loved or cared for. The first person I've ever given my heart to" Looking into Fjords eyes as he says this I see so much love and vulnerability shining in his eyes.
Then he starts to say how sorry he is and that it was either he would have to kill me or Saxa would. He repeats over and over that he didn't want to and it was breaking his heart having to do so. The more he spoke the more his voice started to break and he started to cry. His head went in my lap and he just sobbed. Fjord's sobbing just made him shaking and all I thought of doing was hold him tight in my arms.
As I rub his back up and down and kiss his head. I never thought I would ever see this, who would have thought a god or giant would be so close to a mortal.
