Hey everybody, me again. I haven't recieved any reviews so I don't know if you the readers like the story. But I am getting 'hits' and that could mean that people are reading but are just to lazy to review. I understand completely though. To me hits and reviews are just the same. So as long as I get hits I'll stay satisfied.

I had to update again because the first chapter is always the 'warm-up' and now that I'm warmed up I'm ready to write. In this chap I'll go into the origins of Freya and her kind.

First of I will warn the weak hearted that this story connects alot of religious and mythical ideas in hopes of creating a riveting (think that's how its spelled) story that readers can enjoy. You don't have to believe in any of the gods in my story because as I said before I wanted to make a great 'Story' not preach about changing anyones beliefs.

I know you're probably thinkin why put that in but there will be someone who will review one day and flame me about it so I'm gonna put that to rest ahead of time.

This chapter is going to split from Robin, who's in the presence of the gods if you didn't catch that earlier, to the titans on earth as Raven explains whats she knows.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Chapter 2: Divine Intent

Raven searched every book she owned for more information on Freya and the Etherian race. Her search only gave brief descriptions and would refer her to continue her search elsewhere. The other titans were concerned. Their leader had been taken from them by what seemed to be a god, and to make matters worse Raven had begun to lock herself up in her room for hours on end.

"Guys, I think that we need to go and see whats up with Rae. I mean ever sinceRob disappeared yesterday Rae hasn't come out of her room. I getting a little worried." Cyborg paused "We can't afford to lose another teammate." Beast Boy nodded and Starfire agreed. Together they ventured to Raven's door.

"You knock BB." Cyborg stated as he stood behind Beast Boy, who gave him a crazed look.

"You're joking right? I mean when we got home yesterday she was really angry. I'm not about to get blasted into another dimension." He stated as he sat down on the ground with his legs folded. Cyborg sighed and looked to Starfire who then beamed a large smile to him.

"I shall hail, Raven from her room and we shall enjoy the Pudding of Togetherness!" She exclaimed as she began to pound on the door forgetting about her tameranian strength.

Inside her room Raven had finally found a book which gave several pages of information about the Etherians. Strangely, this very book was a farewell present from her mother. Raven always thought of this book as something sacred and swore never to touch it, but in her blind search, she didn't notice it and searched through it without a second thought. Raven closed the book and sighed.

"Does finding Robin really concern me that much?" Raven asked aloud as she heard a commotion outside her door and then extremely loud knocking. Raven rose from her desk and met the others at her door.

"Hey, uh, Raven..." Beast Boy began but stopped dead when she gave him a stare. Starfire, too, shrunk away as she watched her friend glare at Beast Boy.

"Rae, we all know that you feel bad about this but you can't blame yourself." Cyborg began. Raven thought just the opposite. Had she been the cause of this? Most likely. She hated herself at that moment more than anyone or anything. Because of her Robin was gone and to make matters worse he had feelings for her but she had slept with his enemy... Slade. Of course, none of the others knew. Robin never told them and that bothered Raven deeply. "Rae talk to us, maybe we can help."

"Cyborg thanks, but I'm fine. I've been trying to find more info about Freya and why she took Robin. I think I have something that we all should look at." Raven looked to her friends as a wave of seriousness washed over each of them. She led them into her dark room and shut the door behind her.

Slowly he opened his eyes.

"Where am I? Did... did I die?" Robin sat up and looked around. He was in some kind of field. Everything around him seemed to have a faint white or golden glow to it. Truly this was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his entire life. At that thought he froze. He had to have died. Slowly he recalled the pain and then the beam... and then a woman?

"That's right there was this beautiful woman. I have to get back to the team. They're most likely flipping out about what happened." Robin tried to stand but a hand came to rest on his shoulder. He looked up and saw a woman different from before but just as beautiful. She smiled softly at him causing him to blush.

"Welcome to Etheria, young warrior." She smiled again and waved her arm through the air. Robin looked around and shook his head. Etheria? He had never heard of it. The beautiful woman looked at him and smiled yet again. Robin noticed her long blonde hair seemed to flow in an unfelt breeze. Her white robe had a slit up the left side of her leg that appeared to stop at her waist. Robin began to blush heavily from his current train of thought and the woman caught this and laughed.

"It is not uncommon for mortals to lust after beings such as myself, but you must learn to control such emotion if you are to serve us." She stated as her hand made its way to his cheek.

"Who are you and whats going on?" Robin asked.

"I am Isiria." The woman smiled again and continued. "In your realm your kind has no knowledge of me. I preside over another galaxy very distant from yours." Robin looked at her and shook his head again. What was happening? What was she talking about? Just as Robin was about to voice these questions the woman he saw from before appeared.

"Isiria, itseems you have met my warrior."Another blonde beauty appeared before Robinbut her attire was much different. She wore a white and gold dress that clung to her firgure snuggly. The dress stopped at mid-thigh, but on both sides were slits that rose very close to her waist-line. She appeared to have on the same colored glovesand boots which stopped at her elbows andknees. Atop her head sat some sort of halo.Robin turned a few more shades of red before the realization sat in.

"I'm in heaven."he said aloud andboth women look at him.

"Oh, yes I forgot. Your realm has a different name for Etheria." Isiria stated as the other woman nodded. Isiria looked to the other woman and leaned her head to the side.

"Freya, why have you on your battle attire, nothing has gone wrong as ofyet." Isiria stated as Freya turned her attention towards Robin, who at this point wondered why the name Freya had sounded somewhat familiar.

"There is much he must learn in two years time. Isiria, it would enhance his learning if you joined us. Come Richard Greyson." Freya began to walk away as Robin gasped. She knew his name and he hadn't said anything to her about that, but then again, she was an angel or something like that so instead of arguing he followed.

Raven sat down at her desk and rubbed her temples. Beast Boy, Starfire, and Cyborg all gave expecting looks.

"Alright listen up. Are any of you familiar with the mythologies and stuff like that with this world?" Raven began as Cyborg and Beast Boy nodded. "Starfire, from what I learned you might also have heard about some the the beings I'm about to name." Starfire nodded and Raven continued

"That woman as you all know is Freya. She is what this planet would call a Goddess.On this planet Norsemen or the Vikings were the only ones to acknowledge her existence as well as another being, Odin." Raven paused to see if the others had anything to add. Starfire gasped suddenly

"Friend Raven, could this 'Odin' also go by the name of Grimnir?" Raven nodded in approval. Starfire then quieted down.

"Yeah, well Odin and Freya aren't the only divine beings known of this world. Cyborg, Beast Boy I'm sure one of you has heard of Micheal or Gabriel?" Raven questioned as both boys gasped.

"I thought they were only in the bible!" Beast Boy shouted as Cyborg then frowned.

"Wait a sec. How is it that those two can be Gods? I thought they were just angels." Raven then nodded

"I'll get to that. But first you must know of the others not common to this planet. Isiria, Athena and Lucifer. These..." Cyborg stopped her by standing up

"Hold up did you just say... Lucifer?" Cyborg asked as Raven nodded

"Dude, Raven we know about Athena and Lucifer. He's like the... devil." Beast Boy concluded but Raven gave him a stare.

"You're kidding right?" she asked as both boys shook their heads. Raven then began to furiously turn through the book in which she currently held.

"Raven what's wrong?" Beast Boy asked as Raven stopped and then sighed.

"I guess I should explain first... alright here it goes. Each of these beings have reign over a different aspect of existence some even share certain aspects. Freya is the Goddess of love and war. Michael also is the God of war but his power varies from that of Freya greatly. Isiria is the Goddess of strength and life. Athena also presides over life but she is known on this planet as the Goddess of Knowlege. Then there is Odin who is God of death, happiness and punishment. Gabriel is the god of knowledge just like Athena but he also is the god of peace. Finally, there is Lucifer who is the god of purity and serenity." Cyborg huffed and Raven raised a brow.

"So what you're saying is that there is no one God? That this Lucifer guy is actually really a good guy?" Cyborg questioned

"That's just it. I wished he didn't exist at all." Raven said confusing her teammates. "What I've discovered is more terrifying than the prophecy of destruction I was supposed to fufill."

"Uh, Freya?" Robin asked as he continued to walk alongside the two. "What's happening, why am I here?" She turned to him and nodded.

"I am Freya and on your planet I am worshipped by 'Vikings' as you would say. Rufians if you asked me." Freya smirked and Robin swore it was the sexiest thing he ever saw. For a moment Robin drooled and then it hit him. She was a God, no a Goddess.

"That is Isiria. On Earth you would refer to us as Goddesses. There are others whom you may be more familiar with such as Gabriel or Michael. After I left your world they took to caring for your kind." Freya spoke as Robin shook his head. Those two were only angels in another religion.

"They can't be Gods, they're just angels." He said aloud and then Isiria looked at him.

"Ah, yes, those two try their best not to make themselves any higher than the other beings. Tell me of how you know them." Robin sighed and looked away. They would never believe there was a being higher than them, they're Gods for crying out loud. So much for sunday school.

"Well from what I learned, they're were angels sent by uh...um...uh... God himself." Robin admitted and waited for a response.

"Understandable, they're love for the Creator has always outdone any of us." Isiria spoke and turned to Freya. "I guess they're making up for his absence."

Freya looked away annoyed. She knew that soon she would have to explain to the young warrior and so she faced him once again.

"The 'he' Isiria refers to is our enemy, Lucifer." Freya stated as Robin's eyes widened.

Raven looked at the floor and stared at her teammates. What she had to tell them was terrifying. She had always thought of these beings as nothing but myths and fairytales. Last night began her fears, but now knowing that this, Lucifer, was in fact the true incarnation of evil and all things as such she wanted it all to be a dream. She looked at her teammates and smiled grimly.

"Cyborg the idea of there being one true god isn't wrong at all. In fact there is one all powerful being, he was the one who created us all even the demons and angels alike." Raven paused she had to tell them everything, they had to know the origin of what was about to happen.

"Please friend Raven continue let us know why Robin has been taken." Starfire begged.

"Alright, in the beginning there was this all powerful being who decided to create life itself. The Angels were first and were supposed to be the last. As time past the being wanted to create more so he created what you all call man. It took longer for he wanted to give man his own realm to live in. All of the angels thanked him and he returned their love. Soon man began to needmore from the Creator and so the being gave more. But the Angels wanted attention as well. The creator saw that rivalry would form and so he created seven mighty Gods. Lucifer, the oldest, Odin, Michael, Freya, Isiria, Gabriel, and Athena the youngest. They were in charge of keeping both man's realm and the angels realm. The Creator would them aid them in aiding his creations." Beast Boy rasied a hand and Raven looked at him.

"Let me guess Lucifer gets power hungry and is sent to you-know-where?" Raven smiled softly and nodded

"In a way. Lucifer was seen as the favorite by the other Gods and Angels. Both man and the Creator acknowledged Lucifer highly. Thus the Creator made all of the Gods stronger but made Lucifer a little stronger than the others.Soon Lucifer began to demand that the other Gods and angels bow to him. He began to lust after Athena and Freya. The two Goddesses went to the Creator for protectionbut before theycould findthe Creator, Luciferfound them. A battle pursued which caused the other Gods to intervien. They all combined could not stop Lucifer and he saw this and grinned. The Purity that he once presided over began to change to that of darkness. The Creator had hoped that love for his kin would stop him but it didn't . The Creator appeared before Lucifer and commanded him to repent, but Lucifer laughed it off and demamded that the Creator bow to him.This saddened the creator greatly as he shed a tear and sent Lucifer from the Angel realm and into a dark abyss. Lucifer then swore that one day he would rise again and obliterate everything the Creator loved. Man, angels, and Gods even the Creator would bow before him. The Creator now horribly saddened swore never to intervein in the lives of his creations as he had done. He would never favor one creation over the other and this he told his mighty Gods. The remaining six all agreed and so that is how the story of our creation truly goes." Cyborg, Beast Boy and Starfire looked at one another and shook their heads.

"Rae that's a great story but what does it have to do with Rob?" Cyborgrecieved a hopeless look from Raven.

"It is said that before Lucifer rises the Gods shall begin preparation. Remember what she said before they disappeared? Robin, was chosen as a warrior to fight against, Lucifer."

Cyborg, Beast Boy and Starfire gasped together. That meant the end was coming not for their world but for all of existence.

Robin looked on in shock. Lucifer? The devil, what the heck was happening?

"Lucifer was one of the Seven Gods created by the Creator, whom had created man and angel before us. He saw that the Angels were becoming jealous of man because of the Creators intense care of them and so he created Seven Gods: Lucifer, Athena, Odin, Michael, Gabriel, Isiria and myself. We were to watch over both man and angel forever. The Creator loved us greatly and for our aid with man and angel he gave us the gift of more power. Unfortunately, Lucifer couldn't handle the power.He began lusting after myself and Athena. We attempted to speak to the creator about this but were stopped by Lucifer. Before any harm could be done to us the other Gods arrived and a battle pursued. The battle lasted nearly six hundred sixty six Earth years. The Creator appeared and asked Lucifer to repent. But Lucifer wanted the Creator to bow before him. The Creator shed tears of sadness but sent struck Lucifer with a rod of light. Lucifer lost all of the light inside of him and the Creator threw him into an abyss. Before the abyss closed Lucifer swore to escape and wipe out everything the Creator loved and cherished and then he would make the Creator himself bow to him. Because of his hate beasts began to form andwe beheld the beasts which your realm calls demons.The Creator wept and then stated never to meddle in the lives of his creations. The Creator made us promise this as well. Back to Lucifer, though. As I said before he had all of his light tooken from him. This light wasduplicated and isplaced deep down inside every human on Earth, the planet both the Creator and Lucifer loved the most, in hopes of one of them ascending to Etheria andbecoming what Lucifer once was. You have unlocked this light Richard. There are two otherswho have done the same. The Creator has told us that the key to the survival of existence lies within one of you three. The day in which your realm calls doomsday and Imust teach you many things." Freya turned and started walking off along with Isiria

Robin stared his mouth wide open.He was to become like one of them? Slowly he shook from the state of shock and sighed. It was all very frightening and at the same time exciting. He looked at the retreating figures of the two Goddesses and thought to himself. If he chose to fight would he have to fight Raven? She was a half-demon... Robin looked up ahead and looked at the two Goddesses who stopped and turned to look at him. They knew he was still deciding so they said nothing.

"Raven is my friend and I'm sure she'll be on our side anyways... so... why not..." Robin resolved as he ran to catch up with the two Goddesses, whom nodded in approval to his descision and continued on their path.

Wasn't any action here but as I stated in the beginning. We have to understand the background before the action comes. Anyways, don't worry, next chapter will be set two years later and guess what! Robin makes his come back to Earth.

AN: I decided to call heaven Etheria because when I thought about it, Heaven is a name humans made up. So the celestials had to have named it differently. Also the whole 666 years of fighting. I'm using that as the reason Lucifer chooses that number, because that was how long he could harm the other Gods before the Creator stepped in. Yeah there will be some OC's I'll let you all decide what they're names should be if no one suggests anything usable I'll just make them up. I'll update as much as possible but the latest will always be Friday night.

Thanks for reading you can now review and tell me what ya think!
