Ok you guys remember when I said I was done with the Fire King? Psych! The legacy continues; as most of you may know is that Odin is now in the Two Brothers story by ImBRIAN. We hear Elsa's, Casey's, Daniel's, and everyone else's side of the story from Brian but not Odin's side. So I will be post a few bonus chapters to help explain how Odin got in the story. So we will start off with Odin deep in the Norwegian woods, all alone and really weak. One of the characters from Two Brothers appears in this, who over could it be? Oh I should also mention that the bonus chapters will be in third person, not first person like in the story was. So shall we begin?
We all know his name and his story; his face was the most feared thing in Norway. He was the cruelest and powerful emperor there ever was. But we all know that symbols of powers must come down sooner or later. Now his worth to the world is equal to that of dirt if not less. For those of you who don't know him, his name is Odin Fortapt Sjel aka the Fire King.
Before he became a symbol of power and fear, he was a kind and gentle young man. But he had a secret that he couldn't share with the world, he had the power to control fire and all forms of heat. When he was discovered he was banished from his kingdom, he was a prince, and left to die out in the wilderness. Until he came across the kingdom of Arendelle where he met Princess Elsa, who also had a secret of her own; she had the power to control ice and snow. They became the best of friends; they taught each other how to control their powers, came up with new ways to use them, and even competed to see whose power was the best.
When Elsa became Queen of Arendelle, her power was discovered and she ran away. Odin tried to convince her to come back but she refused to. When Odin went back to Arendelle, he was discovered not too long after his return. He ran away and joined Elsa. Together the two planned their revenge on all who have opposed them. They conquered many Norwegian cities, Arendelle, Hadendelle (Odin's former kingdom), Oslo, and many more. Soon Odin became a mad man by killing everyone who he thought was a person who would cast out his kind. Elsa became extremely afraid of him that she ran away and joined the Norwegian people to help defeat Odin.
Angered at her betrayal, Odin went to fight Elsa at Bergen, which is where she was hiding, and make her pay for what she has done to him. But his anger only led to his downfall for he was defeated and weakened severely. He was arrested, charged with mass murder and terrorist acts and was sentenced to death. But he disappeared at his execution and for months he was never seen nor heard from again.
Everyone assumed him to be dead but he is still alive. However, he is extremely weak and his powers are not as strong as they were before. He lives out deep in the Norwegian woods isolated from all civilizations. He is looked down upon by everyone including beggars; his reputation has gone down the drain.
One night, Odin was in his camp sitting on a log by his fire. He twirled in his hands the necklace that Elsa gave him about a week after they conquered Arendelle. He doesn't know why he keeps the necklace; he thinks that it might because it's a reminder of what Elsa did to him. But you know what I think; I think that there is still a little bit of the original Odin still left in him. It's not strong but it's strong enough to withstand the Fire King part of him that's taking over.
The necklace is an elegant design of rubies and gems. It's all held together by eternal ice that will never melt. The broche on the necklace is a locket, inside is a small painting of him and Elsa wrapped in each other's arms. Odin twirls the necklace around thinking about her; he just can't get her out of his head no matter how hard he tries. The entire night he keeps hearing branches moving and snapping but he thinks that it's just small animals walking around. He sets the necklace down on the log and continues to look into the fire.
Out from the dark bushes, behind Odin, pops a scrawny Asian man who looks like he hasn't eaten in weeks. He sneaks toward Odin ever so quietly trying not to alarm him. He stretches out his hand, reaching for the necklace. Out of the corner of Odin's eye, he sees a hand reaching for the necklace. He quickly jerks his head towards the source of the hand and sees the scrawny Asian man. The Asian quickly grabs the necklace and runs as fast as he can but not fast enough. Odin casts a wall of fire in front of the man cutting off his escape route.
The man gives a small chuckle realizing who he stole from, "Well it looks like I made a pretty big mistake," he says in a sarcastic tone.
Odin is a bit more serious on the matter, "Yes you have, now I don't feel like casting all of my fury on one man so just give me back the necklace and we can walk away from all of this," says Odin.
The man gives him a quizzical look, "Don't feel like casting out all of your fury, that doesn't sound like the Fire King."
"Well I'm not the Fire King, not anymore at least; what's your name?"
"Well my full name would be hard for you Norwegians to pronounce but you can call me Diego." (AN: Diego is one of the characters from two brothers, he belongs to ImBRIAN not me)
"So tell me Diego, what is an Asian like you doing so far away from home."
"My story is about the same as yours, I was cast out of my home town and now they don't want me back."
"Well as much as I would like to hear the unabridged version of that story, I would like my necklace back."
Diego twirls the necklace in his hands, "Yeah you see that's not exactly how I work."
Odin was getting really annoyed by his bullheadedness, "Look that necklace is the only thing that is actually worth something to me."
"Oh really, in what way can you tell how it means to you?"
Odin looked down to the ground, he didn't have a good answer because he doesn't fully know how it means to him, "I don't how it's worth to me but I just know it has some meaning to it, I just don't know what it is."
"Well it means something to me too; it means that I will be fed for months on this necklace alone. So see ya!"
Diego runs off into the woods Odin running chasing after him. The run far from Odin's camp; Diego tries to slow Odin down by knocking over rocks and whipping tree branches but it does him know good. Eventually they Diego lead Odin to a creek. Diego runs across as fast as he can; when Odin gets there he sees Diego just standing there. Odin shouts over to him, "Just give me back my necklace and I won't hurt you."
"What makes you think that you can hurt me," shouts back Diego.
"Because I am fire, you are just a human."
"Oh I am much more than that." Out of Odin's field of view, Diego whips a huge stream of water towards Odin knocking him to the ground. Odin falls to the ground too weak from hunger and pain to even get up. Diego walks over to Odin and looks over him, "Such a shame to see a powerful person like you to be turned into someone that even beggars spit upon. Well, it was nice meeting you Fire King; let's hope you can put up more of a fight next time." Diego walks away and disappears into the darkness of the night.
After a few moments of being on the ground, Odin lifts himself up to where he is now just sitting on the ground; his head in between his knee while he is thinking about what Diego said. He was right; Odin is now just someone who is worth less than dirt itself. He is no longer the powerful he once was. I need to leave this place, he thought, I need to leave all of Norway and go somewhere where my name means little. Start a new life and get a fresh start.
He got himself back on his feet and started walking towards then nearest port. He comes across a somewhat big fishing port; he hops aboard a ship that's heading for Prussia. Prussia is too close to Norway, they'll know who I am and turn me in he thought.
After a several days of sea sickness, he reaches Prussia and begins walking south toward the Austrian Empire. (AN: The Austrian Empire is a real thing, it was founded in 1804 and fell after World War I. I know I said earlier that the story takes place around the medieval times but I'm changing it because the movie looks like it took place in the 1800s after I did some research. The story would be around the 1820s.) After weeks of walking and hitch hiking, he reaches the Austrian capital of Vienna. There he finds work as a blacksmith's apprentice and continues to be one for months until he recognize for his ability.
One day, Odin was filling in an order for some a pair of hidden blades from some assassins in South Columbia. His master had left the shop so he could get some leather for the product. Odin need to start the fire so he could heat up the iron needed for the blade. He looks around and has trouble trying to find the flint. (AN: coal? If any of you guys watch the minecraft lets plays by achievement hunter you would get this.) So after several minutes of failing at trying to find the flint (AN: coal?), he looks around making sure no one is in the room, heats up a fire ball in his hand and throws it into the furnace lighting up the pit in an instant. He was about to grab the iron until he hears someone's voice, "Well, well, that was pretty impressive what you did there."
Odin turns around and sees a short and somewhat pudgy man. He had dress suite on but nothing too fancy, a pin that looked like to be some sort of coat of arms, and a top hat. Odin became afraid that the man might of seen him throw the ball in the pit. He tried to keep it cool so that it was like he didn't do anything unusual, "Um is there something I can help you with sir?"
"Actually," the man replied, "I was hoping that you could help me. My name is Ryan and I'm a scout for his majesty King Francis I." (AN: Francis I was the King of Austria at that time.)
Odin was confused at his words, "What do you mean a scout?"
"Oh you don't know about the games?"
"What games?" Odin was getting even more confused by each word he said.
Ryan rubbed his eye acting thinking that this guy must be joking, "The London Games is a competition between countries that happens every four years. The games put people who have powers, like yours, and puts them in an arena and they fight in a bracket until there are two left standing. They both fight for the final victory of their country and victor wins his country several gifts like fine china, the rarest breed of horses, or even beautiful jewelry."
"And so why are you here?"
"Well each time the games are held, the countries who are invited only get to pick their players a few months before the games. The winning country from the last games, however, gets all the time in the world to pick it's players so the get a little bit more of an advantage. We won the games last time and I'm looking for one more person to join us and by seeing your ability you seem profitable."
Odin wasn't sure what would happen if he accepted. He came to Austria to search for a new life and now an opportunity has open up. Only he's not so sure if he should walk through this door. "What do I get if I join?"
"You get to live in the castle for the time you are on the team, but once you retire you get to live in an estate for the rest of your life. You'll be living like a king."
All of this sounded really good. He could leave his life as a blacksmith only making 10% of his what he sold and join a life where he can live in peace and harmony. He thinks over the offer for a few moments and accepts. "Brilliant," praised Ryan, "Meet at the castle as soon as you can. Be sure to leave a note for your master that you have left the business."
Odin nods at his command and Ryan left feeling happy that after months of searching he can finally relax. Odin runs to his room and packs what little he owns into a sack, leaves a note on the anvil, and runs out to start his new life as a warrior for the King of Austria.
When he arrives at the castle gates, he meets Ryan right in front of them. "Ah welcome, now I completely forgot to ask for your name back at the shop."
"It's Odin, Odin Fortapt Sjel." If Odin was going to start a new life he might as well live an honest one.
Ryan wasn't shocked by his name; Austria never really cared about Norwegian affairs. "Well than Mr. Sjel, before we can start your training we need to introduce you to the king."
"Is he the one who runs the team?"
"No but he likes to see who is going to be on the team."
"How many people are on the team?"
"The games only allow a limit of five elementals per country so, including you, five."
As they walked Ryan explained to Odin about the rules of the games and how they work. They continued talking about this until they reached the throne room. "Now whatever you do don't insult the king, or it will be your head."
Odin understood; when he walked into the throne room he was amazed by the art work of gold patterns on the walls and ceilings, the colorful rug that covered the floor, the giant crystal and gold chandelier that looked like it was hung by a small pole, and the red cushioned seats that were aligned in rows facing the aisle that lead to the throne.
They king sat on the throne seeming like he was expecting Odin. He was a pretty old man, you could see his cheek bones clearly since his skin caved into them, his hair was a grayish white, and he was also quite skinny, but healthy.
As Odin and Ryan walked down the aisle, all the people sitting on the chairs murmuring things that came out unclear to the two. When they were directly in front of the throne, Ryan gave a formal bow towards the king but Odin just stood there; even after Ryan had introduced him Odin didn't move at all.
The king looked at him a little annoyed, "Why do you not bow to you king," he asked.
"With all due respect your highness," Odin replied, "I have had a past with monarchs so terrible that I lost all respect for any king, queen, or emperor."
Francis is still a little bit annoyed by his response but accepts it, "Very well then. So I heard from my scout that you seem worthy of being a part of our team for the games?"
"He seems to think so," Odin motioned towards Ryan.
"Tell me Sir Odin, what powers do you possess?"
"First of all, just call me Odin and secondly, I have the ability to control fire and any form of heat."
"I see can you give us an example?"
"Certainly, but you all might want to stand back." Everyone around took several steps back from him as he prepared. Odin raised both of his hands and formed two rings of fire that began circling and spiraling around him. Everyone amazed at the beauty of the flames; after the little light show, Odin lowered his hands and everyone applauded at his performance.
The king stood up and walked towards Odin, "Well, I see that my scout did quite a good job finding you. Would you like to join our team?"
Odin looked him the eyes and began to smile with delight, "If it means leaving the life behind that I have now, than yes."
Francis gave off a small chuckle, "Don't worry, you will no longer have to worry about your next meal. The entire time you're a part of our team you will be treated like a noble. We have living quarters already set up for you; you can unpack in there and visit your captain and trainer down in the training room."
Odin nodded in approval and was dismissed to his quarters. When Odin walked into his room, he was still amazed at the art work of the castle. The design and color was somewhat similar to the throne room except the walls weren't decorated with gold patterns. The bed had gold colored sheets and blankets, the curtains were a dark red with gold patterns going up and down the thick cloth, smaller versions of the courtroom chandelier hung around the room, and the oak floor felt really well on Odin's feet when he took of his shoes.
Odin unpacked his things, laid them on the bed and made his way down to the training center. After about twenty minutes of asking for directions and trying figure out this large palace, Odin finally found his way to the training room. It was a rather large room made completely out of stone and brick. There were dummies all over the place, each being held up by a skinny wooden staff. The place felt more like a dungeon than a place to train.
As Odin walked further in the room he realized something; it was quiet, far too quiet. He made a fireball in his hand as he began to look around the room for anything suspicious. He began jerking his body in everything direction. Then out of nowhere, a man dropped from the ceiling and landed on Odin pinning him to the ground. The man had a shard of metal in his hand, which he was holding like a knife, and placed it against Odin's neck. "Rule number one rookie," the man said, "Never let your guard down."
The man got up and lifted Odin back onto his feet. "You know that's pretty funny," said Odin, "I was going to say the same thing to you." The man was confused and from behind him Odin, the real Odin, held a fiery knife to his throat. The person the man was looking at was one of Odin's image tricks; the image of Odin began to disappear into fiery ash.
The man gave a small chuckle and turned around, "Not bad for your first day," he said, "Welcome to Team Austria." The man held out his hand and Odin shook it with gratitude, "The name's Alex, I'm your captain and coach," the man who went by Alex said, "Come let me introduce you to the others.
Alex led Odin into a room in the back, which the sign above the entrance read "Lounge." As they walked in, the place was like a huge dining hall. There were tables lined with food of all kinds too many to list, there were chairs that seemed to be covered from top to bottom with cushioning, and at the end of the room was a roaring fire the biggest Odin has ever seen. Sitting around the fire were three other people chatting about heaven knows what.
"Hey," shouted Alex, "Colin, Justine, Isabella come over here." The three stepped up from their seats and walked towards Odin and Alex. "I want you to meet the new member of our team, Odin Fortapt Sjel."
"Odin Fortapt Sjel," said Colin curiously, "Aren't you the guy that the Norwegians fear?" Colin had a round head and his hair was combed over to the side. He wore dark blue clothes that seemed pretty casual.
"Yeah he is," replied Isabella who had a little bit of a Spanish accent, "You got some guts going up against an entire country." Isabella had dark brown hair and her eyes were lined with dark eyeliner. She wore a light gray shirt with black grey trousers; she seemed to be a little bit of a tom boy but still had some feminine left in her
"Yes we are quite lucky to have someone with guts to do just about anything," said Alex, "Odin this is Colin, he controls water, Isabella, she has magnetic powers, and Justine, she is an illusionist."
Colin and Isabella gave a hardy hello but Justine just smiled and nodded. "Don't mind Justine," said Isabella, "she's kind of shy." Justine had blonde hair with streaks of light brown strands going down it. She wore a casual yellow and blue dress with green patterns lining the bottom of the skirt.
"Well now that you all have met each other I suggest that we get some rest," said Alex, "Training starts tomorrow and I won't to get a lot covered since we got a new member. So night everyone." Everyone left the room and headed towards their own rooms.
As Odin was about to enter his bedroom, Alex came up from behind him. "Hey Odin," Alex whispered.
Odin jumped at the sound of his voice, "Jeez Alex you scared me," remarked Odin.
"Sorry, I just want to tell you something that you should know." Alex came closer to Odin, "I know about how the Snow Queen betrayed you, and I heard rumors that London is considering on inviting Norway to the games. With my help and your skills we can make her pay for what she did to us."
"Us? What do you mean 'us?'" Odin was even more confused by his words than he was by Alex's mysterious tone.
"I was one of your followers Fire King, when Elsa betrayed you she betrayed all of us. I was so angered that one of our own joined the enemy; ever since then I've been waiting to find the right time to take my revenge. Then you came along and now that Norway is going to be invited you and I can take our revenge and make her pay for her treason. So what do you say, are you in?"
Odin thought this over for a bit. Here was an opportunity for him to have his revenge. He can finally make Elsa pay for all those months of pain and suffering. After a few moments Odin nodded, "Great," said Alex, "Be down at the training room at seven, we have a lot to do before the games."
Alex walked down the dark hall and disappeared into the blackness. Odin walked into his room and laid on his trying to get a good night's rest. Only his nightmares returned once again but Odin wasn't bothered by them long. Soon the images became faint and silent and Odin slept peacefully.
For two years Odin trained for eight hours a day, trying to find new ways to use his powers in any way possible. He even found new objects to morph into and no longer a pile of ash. He could now turn into a demon dog, a phoenix, and even a small fire breathing dragon. Odin was no longer the weak beggar worrying about his next meal; he is new abilities made him seem more of a god than a person. For two years as well, the only image Odin had in his mind was the image of Elsa about to be killed by his own hand. Soon he will have revenge and he will be fulfilled.
Ok I change my mind, this is going to be the only bonus chapter since I put in a lot of information in this chapter. But yeah that pretty much sums up how Odin got into the story of Two Brothers. Now the members of team Austria I have picked real life actors who would play them: Alex: Jude Law, Colin: Toby Maguire, Isabella: Penelope Cruz, Justine: Keira Knightly, and Odin: Liam Hemsworth.
So be sure to check out Two Brothers and read the entire thing or else you will be lost. So that's pretty much it I will see you guys later, dream on!
