IX - Passage of time

[A.N: Hey guys sorry this chapter took so long to post. Last week I had a lot of schoolwork and didn't have time to post. Also, I have to mention the next 3 chapters are really important to the story. Anyway enjoy]

Through the years I was on many adventures. I was one of the Argonauts who helped Jason find the golden fleece, I met Theseus and found he had killed the minotaur, I chose not to mention that I would have killed it first, I watched Hercules do some of his 12 labors from afar. Gods that guy was a jerk.

I was also there at the beginning of the end for Greece. Sparta fell first. I was there when it burned and held my grandfather in my arms as he took his last breath. My mothers 'father'. My grandmother had passed 2 years before. I left after that, I went down to the House of Nyx and stayed there for many years.

I was there for the battle of Troy. I trained with Achilles, but I only fought as a soldier. I did not use my powers for there were too many gods around.

When Greece fell to Rome I did not aid the greeks. My Aunt Anake forbade me from doing so, told me this was fate. I did not like it but I nodded. When Rome rose I was the only being in the House of Nyx who did not change form as I was a demigod. My grandmother became Nox, My grandfather became Scotus and my father became Letus.

5 years later when Rome became the strongest city in Europe I left the Mansion leaving behind my greek armor, my sword, and everything else but my belt with my portal pouch, my bow, and my original dagger. I joined the Roman army and served for 10 years. On my left arm, on my wrist, I got the SPQR mark and underneath 10 marks for my years of service.

In Rome, I used an Imperial gold and celestial silver gladius(a type of sword) infused with stygian iron. I also used a stygian iron Pugio(a type of dagger). Though I was also taught how to use a spear and shield. I found the roman fighting style quite easy. It's very spartan but at the same time, it was firmer and less wild.

Celestial Silver is a rare type of metal that was once very common during the time of the primordial. Over time it was mined heavily due to its strength and power. Now the only known mine is under Tartarus. My great-uncle Tartarus has a huge operation to protect and mine the celestial silver and gave some to me for my weapons.

When the flame of the west was still in Rome but Christianity was on the rise, I felt it was my time to leave.

I went to Egypt. I had read much about the pantheon there and wanted to meet other gods. The first being I met was Anubis. My father and Anubis share the same job. Collecting souls to bring to the underworld. They had overlapped on occasion and had become… not really friends but friendly acquaintances. Anubis was a lot like me. He was older but was still more of a teenager. And took a teenage form. We did become friends.

Anubis took me to meet Osiris and a few other gods but not many. He did however take me to Thoth. When we went to Thoth's library, we found it being attacked by mercenaries sent by another Pantheon. Anubis held back due to ancient laws but I was not bound by them and killed the mercenaries. Thoth had been very grateful and had blessed me with wisdom over battle strategy and gave me access to his library at any time. He told me he would deal with the other pantheon should he need too. I spent a few years in Egypt as a farmer before deciding that I was not ready for a peaceful life.

I went back to Rome but found that the flame had moved to Germany. I did not have much interest in Germany so I went to Norway instead where the Norse Gods were. I built myself a boat and sailed to a small fishing community. I struggled to get to Asgard as I did not want to die to get there. I tried to pray to Heimdall but nothing happened. Still curious about the beings in this pantheon I hiked up to the top of the highest mountain in Norway, the Galdhøpiggen. I met a few elves and dwarves but when I reached the top I met a giant. I was instantly wary of the Ice Giant but he told me he did not agree with the wars his family waged so left his realm Vanaheim and came to Midgard. His name was Frios. He told me many stories of the Asgardians and his people and I told him mine. When he learned I had the power over water he had smiled. From there he had told me if I had the power over water I could change the temperature of the water which meant I could control ice. I spent a year learning how to manipulate and control ice as well as the weather. He was a very good teacher and friend. When he felt my training was complete he told me of a ley line that would take me to Nidavellir in a cavern at the base of this mountain.

I traveled in the dark only being able to see because of my night vision. When I got to the bottom of the cavern there were drawings and depictions of the dwarves of old. Inside of the cavern, there was a glowing golden rift in space. I stepped through and found myself in the realm of the dwarves.

The realm of the dwarves was mostly caverns and tunnels. I ended up in an abandoned forge. Frios was a friend of the dwarves and drew me a map of how to get from the forge I was into the main forge.

It took me a week to get there but when I did the dwarf king was not Etri. It was a dwarf with black hair and bronze eyes who was covered with scars. Apparently, this dwarf didn't like humans and promptly threw me into a cell. In the cell opposite mine was Etri the dwarf. He told me how he had been overthrown and how his brother had taken over. Enslaving his people.

The dwarves did not realize I could shadow travel which meant I could escape easily. I defeated the dwarves and let Etri go. To show his gratitude he asked if he could make me a weapon. I agreed and he made my sword from Mitherel, Stygian Iron, and celestial silver. It was like a combination of my father's scythe and my sword. The top of the blade was curved like a scythe. Its blade was made of a celestial silver and Uru metal combination weaved together with Stygian iron. Its hilt was made of stygian iron and the bottom of the blade. Etri then asked me to infuse it with some of my power. We named it Maelstrom and it had the ability to cut through light, create shadows, and if I wanted it to encase who is cut with ice. Etri then placed a rune on it so that It would always return to me and only I or someone I allow may use the blade. Otherwise, it will burn them. Finally, he enchanted the sword so that it turned into a ring. I placed the ring on my right middle finger. I did not have to take off the ring, only twist it then the sword would form in my hand.

I thanked Etri and he thanked me in return. He then showed me their portal to Asgard which I went through.

I met Heimdall at the gate and I glared at him while he smiled. "I knew you would get here eventually, wasn't this way more rewarding?" he asked.

I thought about it. He had a point, I got more by going the hard way than the easy way.[A.N: Yes I just gave out some wisdom for you all and I fit it in the story] I nodded my head.

He laughed. "The All-Father is expecting you."

I walked across the rainbow bridge and found myself in a golden city. Reaching the palace I was ushered in and greeted by Thor. Thor brought me to his father who welcomed me and told me I could stay as long as he viewed me as truly worthy. He knew of my travels and had decided that unless I was against Asgard then there would be no problems.

I stayed in Asgard for 2 years. I fought a few times in Valhalla. Though I was better than most and never died. I trained with the likes of Sif and Thor and met several people who met with Odin. One of the people who visited was Hermes. After Hermes did his official business, he and I hung out and I found he was a very cool guy. He was surprised however to learn that I was Greek and from Sparta no less. I told him I was a son of Thanatos though I did not tell him I was a legacy of Poseidon. We hung out several times while he visited though the most fun time was when we broke into a bank in Switzerland. We stole more than half of their money and split it evenly between us. I think that may truly be the day I earned Hermes respect.

I was leaving Asgard tomorrow and a feast was being held in my honor. Though I was pretty sure Odin just wanted to have another feast. He seemed to really enjoy them. I had done many great deeds and I was told I was always welcome there. The feast was delicious and it contained the finest foods from all over the world. After the feast was over the tables were cleared and placed to the sides as a ball was being held. I danced with many women during the night but as the ball was drawing to a close I found my arms wrapped around the beautiful Freya.

She looked to be 18 years old to look closer to my own age and was surrounded by an aura of golden radiance. She had long blonde hair that fell across one shoulder in a single plait, sky-blue eyes, and a smile that made my entire body heat up. She had firm and perky C cup breasts which she pressed against my chest as they danced. Freya was also dressed in a way to emphasize her beauty and her love of jewelry: She wore a white dress made of silk that was tied at her waist with a golden braided rope. Around her neck is a dazzling lacework collar of gold and gems.

I was taller than her so she had to look up. I stared into her eyes and she slowly leaned up to kiss me. I felt my eyes blur for a second but she smiled into the kiss and wrapped her arms around my neck pulling me closer. Suddenly she pulled away.

"Let's continue this in my room," she said huskily.

She grabbed my hand and brought me to a room with a pink door. Pushing it open she brought me into the room and started to kiss me again.

Freya pulled back from the kiss. "What were we doing again? I forgot" she said innocently. I leaned in and our lips connected, tongues reaching out and entangling with one another. She placed her hands on my chest, rubbing my pecs and abs through my shirt. My hands fell onto Freya's ass and I squeezed and massaged her, eliciting long moans. Her hands clawed at the bottom of my tunic and she pulled it upwards, getting it over my head and pulling my arms out. I frantically started to do the same to her, lifting her dress up over her head. She shoved me back onto the bed.

[A.N: Sorry that chapter was so short. I'm also Sorry the next ones will be too]
