Chapter 86: Birth of Evil (1):
Odin's POV:
I am Odin, ruler of Asgard. recently, I have adopted a baby, Loki. He and Thor have become quite close. I am sure that will stay until the end of Time. I then sensed something... a powerful evil is coming! I decided to take a look.
. . .
I took a look and I saw it. It was a form of darkness unlike anything I have seen before. I sensed it was made of evil. I realized that this evil was the creation of Amatsu Mikaboshi. I then attempted to strike it, but it was too much, even for me. I then returned to Asgard.
. . .
I then spoke with the Norns.
"Norns, what am I to do," I asked, "I must keep the Universe safe for my people, my wife, and my sons."
"To get this job done..." says one Norn.
"You and others..." another Norn continues.
"Must work as one!"
The three then disappear and in their place, an image of Ra and Rama.
We have never worked together before and now the Norns ask me to unite with them. If that is what it takes...
. . .
I arrived in Ra's home. Ra was sitting in his throne.
"Ra, I have come to ask of you..."
"You have a lot of nerve, coming here, Odin," says Ra.
"Ra, there is a great evil, and we must work together to destroy it," I said.
"You want us to join forces," asks Ra, "nonsense!"
"Ra, you did not see this thing," I said, "it is evil incarnate!"
"I am the God of the Sun," says Ra, "I can vanquish darkness!"
"It was too much, even for me," I said.
"Is this true," asks Ra.
"Yes," I said.
"Hmm, if it can overpower someone as strong as yourself... then perhaps you are right. Very well, what would you ask of me?"
. . .
Next, Ra and I spoke with Rama, the Avatar of Vishnu.
"Here he comes," says Ra.
"Odin and Ra," says Rama, "what brings you here?"
"We need your help to vanquish a powerful evil," I said.
"I will help you," says Rama.
"We need..." Ra cuts me off.
"You will help us," asks Ra.
"Vishnu has ordered me to," says Rama.
"Then, let us go," I said.
Singer/Chorus: This is life, it's our time
You better believe it
You better believe it
A journey to the end of night
United as one
United as one
There's a place
For the human race
We could have it all
So, break down your walls
United as one
United as one
Heaven made us as we are
We better believe this
We have to believe this
Why do we worry about today
When tomorrow lead us the way
Lead us the way
There's a place
For the human race
We could have it all
So, break down your walls
United as one
United as one
United as one
United as one
United
United as one
United as one
United as one!
. . .
We were in Asgard, thinking of a plan.
"Odin, what's this glove," asks Ra.
"Just ignore it," I said, "that gauntlet could be something infinitely worst then our current problem!"
"What is the plan," asks Rama.
"I'm afraid, there is no plan," I said, "we just strike this thing with our Godly powers, but I hope we will survive."
"Odin, Allfather of Asgard, Rama, Avatar of Vishnu, today, we are brothers," says Ra.
We then joined fists.
. . .
The three of us arrived at the darkness.
"Together," the three of us said.
We then attacked the darkness, slicing it into pieces. The only difficult part was the fact that it kept coming back. We continued to slice it, we cannot let it exist. Eventually, we were done, and we have won.
"Victory is ours," says Ra.
"We should celebrate," says Rama.
"Come with me back to Asgard," I said, "we just set up a new hall. I call it Valhalla!"
The three of us then took off. I bet not even Zeus could have done this!
Verdandi's POV:
I, Verdandi, of the Norns saw a piece of this evil falling onto the planet that's still developing. I can see what happens in the Present, Skuld sees the Future, and Urd sees the Past.
"Should we tell them that it's not over yet," I asked.
"I'm still wondering if I should tell Odin that Loki will become evil," says Skuld.
"Remember that time Zeus sneezed, and it caused lightning to hit the Devil," asks Urd, good times.
