Happy holdiays everyone! This will be the very last chapter I post for the year! I am so thankful to all who have been enjoying this story. It truly means a lot that my idea for a Thor centric fanfic of high school dxd has gotten this far. I have many more plans for next year and I hope to get them posted if life doesn't get in the way. lol. To those who celebrate Christmas I gift this to you as your Christmas gift.
Lightblade23: Yes my friend the wait is finally over! Thor and Rossweisse are finally together I am so happy.
Thor x Rose fan: Of course, there will be but this is DxD and we can't forget about those steamy eechi moments ;)
Maltazar: Hahah so true! The development for those three I feel has been sorly lacking, along with many cannon characters such as Kiba who I should have put more focus on in the Excalibur arc.
Sovereign: It would be wise for them to take the offer; Azazel himself using a Sacred Gear to boost his power. He definitely will want his son to have one to better protect himself especially after that fiasco at Kuoh when the Old Satan's attacked the Peace Summit.
Inquisitor: Heh thank you, I hope this chapter will explain the growing relationship between them.
In a plaza at downtown Kuoh, Akeno Himejima sat outside a cafe across an uncomfortable Azrael, the buxom black haired beauty was called by Azazel about a talk he had with his son in Valhalla. He did not say what it was about, only that she should talk to Azrael. Now here she was having a lunch outing with him and hoping her fellow Fallen Angel hybrid would tell her what happened. After pressing him for answers he replied saying he would tell her but only if they were in a more private location which they found in a rose garden.
"My father likes Henrietta Berg." Azrael sighed.
"But why are you angry about it?" Akeno asked soothingly, she thought he would be happy for his father to potentially find love.
"Not angry. Just uncomfortable. Why did he have to bring you into this? I told dad he can go after Ms. Berg, if he wishes to, just has to take time for me to get to use her being in his life. I know that when he commits himself to Ms. Berg then I'll be a bastard he had out of wedlock and what if he does marry her and have children? Will I be shunned aside or be just one more mouth to feed?"
Akeno's gaze softened, being a child conceived out of wedlock would make anyone uncomfortable, especially when you will have a step partner. Akeno wondered for a brief second what would have happened if her father had done that, her hatred would probably have deepened. At least Azrael didn't hate his father like she and Eris but she luckily rekindled the bond with Baraqiel. Scooting closer to the distraught boy she gently placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Your father loves you, Azrael. He would never shun you aside and who's to say Ms. Berg wants children? She is a teacher, yes, but would she want to raise one herself? She may not be your biological mother but if or when Azazel does marry her please treat as one. She is a good woman and a powerful warrior. If she does want children then be ready to help raise them and don't be afraid to call for me to help. I do love children."
Azrael looked at his fellow Fallen and slowly nodded. She always knew the right words to say hence his father's reasons for calling her to talk to him. Unsure if she would allow it he leaned forward and hugged her feeling her enormous breasts press against him.
Havarti sure was lucky to have his face buried into those.
"Thanks, Akeno."
"Anything for a friend." She replied with a smile, afterwards she asked if he would like to come with her to Issei's house.
"That is were my father is, isn't it?"
"Actually we won't be seeing him until we go to the Underworld. Our friends from Heaven are visiting us right now. Irina will be delighted to see you again." Mentioning Issei's former childhood friend made Azrael relax physically. The conversation Akeno had with the Angel about Azrael at Boreal came bubbling to the forefront of her mind and she giggled.
"What's so funny?" The male Fallen Angel asked.
"Oh, just remembering something funny."
It wasn't long before the pair reached the house, acutely it looked more like a hotel now. How the humans wouldn't find this suspicious really had Azrael's mind working. Entering the house the Fallen pair were greeted by the rest of the Gremory Peerage and Micheal's brave saints. Irina's black battlesuits were replaced by a very long yellow summer dress and Xenovia being a bit more daring by wearing short shorts and tank top which was unfortunately drawing Issei's attention to her cleavage. The sight of Irina made the dark winged Angel smile, that bright cheerful personality always reminded him of his childhood, back when he lived a normal life.
"What is the Angel Duo doing here?" He asked, making Xenovia raise a brow, "You two are still working together and are now Angels it seems suitable."
"I like it." Vandill said joyfully, "Yet why are you here?"
"The same reason why our friends from Heaven are here; to spend time together."
"You did say you'd show around town when he returned from Boreal." Xenovia said to Kiba who smiled.
"A gentleman always keeps his word."
Azreal glanced between the Devil and Angel, the bond between the two must have grown during their time at Ylva's kingdom. If they go further and become more than comrades in arms… oh they would be such a cute couple. Perhaps they just needed a little push in that direction.
"How have you been?" Irina asked Azrael.
"Fine. Just trying to enjoy the peace before being dragged into another fight. The Khaos Brigade has been pretty silent so far. They must be planning something big."
"Or waiting for us to fight amongst ourselves." Irina said lamely. "More and more Exorcists are voicing complaints about peace with the Underworld and Pag- I mean - Asgard."
Azreal grimaced at the situation with the Church getting worse, if the Pope and even Michael couldn't stop this crisis it would become a rebellion.
"Let's not worry about that." Kiba reassured, "You came here to have fun with friends before going to the Underworld."
Asgard
"I knew you'd guys would hook up eventually!"
Rossweisse blushed at the jolly laugh Baldur let loose within the palace hall. When she and Thor returned to Asgard word about them being together spread like wildfire around the kingdom and soon the Aesir and Valkyrie were the chief topic of everyone in the kingdom. Even after two weeks passing they still were talked about, some girls Rossweisse overhearing how jealous they are of Thor being the Valkyrie's boyfriend. Although not one to be the center of attention unless it was her birthday, Rossweisse nevertheless was glad she was with Thor and not a different girl.
Are we truly a couple? We've never gone on a date yet we know so much about each other. I had my first kiss on the lips but not a date yet. Hmmm if we have time after Alfheim and before going to the Underworld I should ask him to go on a date. Akeno and Havarti did so we should do the same!
"I'm happy for you." Said Baldur, catching Rossweisse's attention, "You never thought you'd get a boyfriend yet here you are; dating my baby brother. I hope you both will make each other happy."
"We do, Lord Baldur." Rossweisse reasssured, she truly loved Thor and would shower him in it when he returned from school. She paused by a window and looked out in the direction of Valhalla, out their Thor, Sigrun, and the other third years students would be partaking in the exams to graduate Valhalla and partake in missions as Valkyries or go in search of jobs. She remembered Odin's discussion with the Three Great Factions and Olympus about creating coalition jobs were Angels, Fallen Angels, Devils, Norse, and Olympians can work in jobs together or allow co-education to allow all to take classes together. Her dream goal was to open a Valkyrie school in their allies lands, perhaps she could recommend it to Lady Freya next time she spoke to her.
"Good." Said the God of Light with a bright smile, "I'm happy for you, Ms. Rossweisse. As is Lady Sif."
Rossweisse winced a little, "I thought she would be mad that I had feelings for her…fiance."
"Well she knows Thor is too young for her and his feelings are directed towards you. Sif is more of a comrade in arms. She even said if you want to get to know more about him she has all the dirty secrets about him."
Rossweisse felt the desire to giggle at Baldur suggesting she ask Sif about personal stuff regarding Thor, but who's to say this Thor is like the original? Micheal said he was the reincarnation of the original Thor but that did raise a question she should have asked at the Peace Summit; how could he return yet God of the Bible did not? Despite Norse Paganism being on the rise again in Norway, Christianity had much a bigger influence on the world so how could the creator of Sacred Gears and ruler of Heaven not come back sooner with so many believers living around the world?
The next time I see Lord Micheal I will ask him these questions. Questions that I hope he has answers to.
"If I may ask; what made you fall in love with my baby brother?" The God of Light asked curiously.
Despite red forming on her cheeks the genius warrior maiden answered nonetheless, "Well it started with respect for who he was; Odin's son and the Prince of Asgard. That changed after he defended me from Andreas' bullying, ensured I would find love, and even called me his friend. I thought Sigrun was my only friend but your brother became my second friend. My…friendship for him become love after…after what he said at the festival when he was flyting with the Jotun." She looked away at the grin forming on Baldr's face.
"When he said all those nice things about you?
"Y-yes but it fully blossomed into love after he defeated Kokabiel. That showed me how much he cared about me. I thought he wouldn't return those feelings but at Svalbard he showed me he truly does love me just as I love him."
Baldur beamed with happiness, "I'm glad you found love. I'm certain my brother will show you the same love he showed Sif." He paused before changing the subject, "Can you believe Thor's goal is finally coming true? I know the Olympus and Biblical Faction are two of the many factions residing within our world but this is a big step in the direction of unity and peace. I know it has cost lives and the spilling of blood but the price for peace will be worth it."
Rossweisse nodded, Baldur was right about all the fighting and dying required to achieve peace but in the end it will amount to the next generation knowing a world were no war or death exists.
Only unity, peace, and love.
Kuoh Downtown
"So your father is an Einherjar of Valhalla? I should have known you had viking blood in you." Xenovia said before taking a big bit out of the hamburger she ordered. The Angel had been shown around Kuoh by the Devil for nearly two hours and now sat in a booth at a fast food joint swapping stories of what they had been through since the Boreal Kingdom. Since meeting the former human he never told her about meeting his father in Asgard until now and it piqued the blue haired girl's interest.
The Knight raised an eyebrow, "How so?"
"Your warrior spirit and blonde hair." The blue haired beauty said honestly.
Kiba had to stop himself from chuckling at the answer the former human said. Of course his blonde hair would be part of it since he, like Rias, were said by humans to be from Northern Europe which was true for him now that he knew his father was from Sweden. Although knowing his true surname he chose to keep calling himself the one Rias bestowed upon him after saving him. His father agreed saying his place is with the Gremory family for they, unlike him, are his true family since he was never around to raise him nor give the love of parent. Those words brought Kiba close to tears because he knew that was true, if the Church hadn't kidnapped him and murder Ulric he probably would have lived the life of a human until his Sacred Gear awoke or possibly become an Einherjar.
If I had become a warrior of Valhalla what would have changed? I never would be a part of Rias' Peerage of course and perhaps I'd have joined Thor's team and become friends with other Einherjar.
"Since becoming an Angel." Xenovia continued, "I have learned a great many things. Since Irina and I shall be going to the Underworld as Lord Micheal's bodyguards I hope to be given a tour of it."
"If I am not busy sharpening my skills for the Rating Games I will gladly do so."
Gold eyes lit up with excitement, "I hope the same for you touring Heaven. You should see the seven levels of Heaven! They are beautiful to look upon."
Kiba smiled, "I'm certain I will be granted entry by Lord Micheal and that I have the ability to combine holy and demon powers."
"A feat the other Angels still talk about. To know a Devil - I mean - my friend, has the power to combine Holy and Demonic powers is such a unique ability none of the Seraphs knew could happen."
"Indeed. Nevertheless, as Knight of the Gremory Peerage I promise to see Heaven with you and give you a tour of the Underworld."
"Your battles against the other Peerages partaking in the Rating Games will regret facing you. Your power and skills will prove it."
Meanwhile
Irina Shidou sighed with delight as she sat on the bench of a park she took Azrael too, a park she told the Fallen was were she played the last game of hide and seek with Issei before moving to England. The stories they swapped about living in England and Montenegro had the opposite Angels curious to know more about the countries. While she lived in England for a long time, Japan was her birthplace with many fun places to visit such as Kyoto which she recalled would be hosting a festival in Fall.
"Speaking of Kyoto, I've never been there. I think it would be fun to attend the festival."
"That does sound fun. Perhaps by that time I'll have an artificial Sacred Gear." Irina's confused expression had Azrael go into detail about his father offering his son and Andreas one of the many Sacred Gears he was creating.
"While not as strong as Sacred Gears created by our Lord in Heaven, an artificial one would be beneficial to have considering all the foes we have faced lately."
"But which one." Azreal pondered, looking up through the tree branches, there were so many Sacred Gears his dad made and many more on the way. Perhaps he could ask for a special one for himself, maybe have a Dragon like Fafnir or another powerful sentient creature.
"Since Grigori and Heaven are allies now. Maybe a Sacred Gear with holy powers?" Irina suggested.
"Like what? Fallen Angels have Light Spears. What else could we use that is related to light?"
"Fire."
"Fire?"
"Holy Fire, to be exact. Baraqiel's Holy Lighting isn't the only holy power Heaven produced. Lord Uriel has Holy Fire, the same fire controlled by the Incinerate Anthem, also known as the Holy Cross."
"So what you're saying if my father speaks to Uriel he may give some of his Holy Fire to put within an Artificial Sacred gear?"
"As long as you use that power to protect the ones you love I'm certain Lord Uriel will grant it."
Azreal looked up at the tree again, if he went through with it then he too would have holy powers like Akeno but would be inherited by an Artificial Sacred Gear not parental genes but at least it would give him an edge against Dark Elves, Old Satan's, and hopefully even Gods. The thought of facing Gods like Ares or Eris with only wits and Light Spears sent a shiver of dread down his spine, to the God of War and Goddess of Chaos he would be a mere insect buzzing about annoying them. If he was to live a full life to see his friends, to see Irina, then he would have to take his father's offer to have an Artificial Sacred Gear. A smirk tugged at his lips as he imagined himself and Akeno blasting enemies away with Holy Fire and Holy Lightning. Speaking of Akeno, his fellow half-Fallen made it bearable for him to accept Henrietta as a future mother if Azazel marries her but it would still take a while to fully embrace the concept of having a stepmother. Before leaving with Irina he learned Akeno's strength in the usage of Holy Lightning was growing as was the bond with her father, a bond Azreal hoped that he too would have strengthened with his own father.
If he ever takes time out of tinkering with Sacred Gears and leading Grigori that is.
"I will think about it." The blue eyed hybrid said, "But enough about our Supernatural drama tell me about your childhood?"
Irina blushed, "You want to get to know more about me?"
"Why not? We are friends aren't we? Even though I am a Fallen Angel, I would like to know more about your life before and after becoming an Angel. What life was like before moving to England and serving the Catholic Church over there."
Stars twinkled within the Angel's eyes, nobody ever asked about her life. What a joyous moment. Straightening up like a librarian ready to read a book to children she delved into the history of her life and the Church with her dark winged counterpart listening with fascination.
Kuoh gym
Issei Hyoudou was many things; The Red Dragon Emperor, a future harem king, a huge pervert, but not what Vandill was trying to make him be; a bodybuilder. The friendly Giant had taken him to the local gym to, as he said, pump iron, to get him into shape for the coming Rating Games. Right now he was trying pull ups while the seven foot Rook was cheering him on drawing looks from everyone within the gym. After his sixth pull up he let go and collapsed trying to catch his breath. Vandill towered over him, his large arms planted firmly on his hips.
"Issei, what was that? Six pull ups? If you want to get stronger you gotta push yourself beyond your limit."
"Easy…for you to say. I never did this kind of stuff until joining the Occult Research club."
"Then you will start now. You've been needing physical exercise since joining that club. I can't be the only one lifting heavy objects when we go hunting in old buildings."
Both were careful not to say anything related to the Supernatural world with so many humans around them
"Plus…" The Jotun said after helping Issei up and leaning forward to whisper in his ear, "If you get more muscles…you'll draw more ladies to you. Don't you want Rias, Asia, and so many other ladies touching you all over."
Images of Rias, Asia, as well as Sigrun, and many other girls naked surrounded him and touched him all over, their fingers tracing along his arms and chest.
Ohh Issei. Your muscles are so big! Let me touch them.
M-me too! Please let me feel your strong arms around me, Issei!
You're even stronger than Thor.
He was on his feet in an instance, "I'm gonna get muscles for my harem to touch!"
The Giant laughed with purpose, with the right motivation he was certain Issei Hyoudou would become a powerful host for Ddraig, possibly the most powerful but only time would tell with that. The more he got to know the boy the more he saw the good man he was buried beneath his lewd desires, he truly cared about those close to him and would do anything to protect them. He knew Thor would prefer protecting friends as a more noble goal then becoming a harem king.
Ah Thor, while he had come to accept his life as a Devil a small part of him felt sad he could never see his idol everyday but his fate was bound to the Underworld now and he had a duty to be Rias' Rook and, more importantly, help Issei obtain those muscles for his harem to touch.
Alfheim
"It's so good to be back!" Sigrun announced, sighing with delight at the warmth of the sand on her feet. The exams were over as was her time at Valhalla, she and her fellow Valkyries passed with flying colors as had Thor and Andreas. Now all of them were, as planned, going to celebrate and strat summer vacation at Alfheim. The beach chosen today was three miles away from a resort were Light Elves and guests of Asgard, Midgard, Vanaheim, and Nidavellir go to relax. For Thor and his friends they chose a more secluded section near some cliffs and a dense forest. Sigrun took two steps forward and stabbed the surfboard into the sand and laid her towel out, "I'm surprised Bikou didn't join us."
"He may be part of our team but he still has ties to Grigori and must be allowed to reforge ties with them." Said Alruna, eager to show off her body at the beach resort.
"Your right, Alruna." Said Ylva, her dress dropping to the towel revealing a violet bikini with a bandeau top. "With Asgard now allies with the Biblical Faction, Bikou has a chance to regain Azazel's trust. I have not spent much time around him but the deeds I hear he has performed after joining Asgard are worthy of earning my trust."
"Speaking of Azazel, you know he was at Valhalla talking to Ms. Berg?" Andreas said as his eyes flickered to Sigrun, her black cut out bikini giving lots of emphasis on her butt that mesmerized the Greek.
"Is that so?" Sigrun asked, please to see Andreas looking her way.
"He spoke to her about something private and, get this, Azreal said his father likes Ms. Berg."
The Valkyries exchanged looks and giggled excitedly, the juice drama of two lovers was a hot topic any girl loved gossiping about. While Alruna and Herja talked, Rossweisse, Thor, and Herja came behind carrying umbrellas and towels and, in Thor's case, two large coolers stuffed with food and drink. Thor and Herja's choice of wear was the same blue board shorts and striped orange and blue bikini on their first visit to Alfheim together. Rossweisse, on the other hand, kept whatever she chose hidden by a baggy orange t-shirt with the words Vanaheim 2018 on it indicating the shirt was bought five years ago and a long sky blue sarong wrap. Unknown to the silver-haired genius, her fellow Valkyries looked between Rossweisse and Thor, watching, waiting to see if Rossweisse's choice of swimwear would catch Thor's attention. They had seen it, commented on it, and gave her a lot of confidence boosting and advice on how to display her affection to Thor.
"I sure am glad your help with studying got me through the exams."
"Only because you begged me to help you." Rose said, with an edge of sterness in her tone, "You put so much time and effort on training instead of studying. Muscle alone won't get you anywhere, Thor, you have to use your mind as well."
"Which is why you are the brains in this relationship." Thor said, half serious, half teasing before performing a series of stretches to loosen his muscles for when it was time to swim.
"Yes, well I cannot be the only smart one. Especially if you are to be king. A king must be wise and strong."
"As should his queen."
Rossweisse blushed, she had just realized at the moment that if her relationship lasted with Thor becoming king that meant she would be Asgard's queen, she would be the next Allmohter! The very thought of sitting beside Thor upon the thrones Odin and Freya occupied made steam blow out her ears. Her reaction did not go unnoticed by her fellow Valkyries who were eyeing her with wonder at what she would be like as Asgard's next ruler.
"King Thor and Queen Rossweisse…" Andreas pondered, then smiled, "I like the sound of that."
"Anyway!" Herja said loudly, "Now that we are all here, Alruna, Ylva, and I are going to look for activities to do at the resort. I heard they got kayaking and scuba diving around the coral reef." Herja said.
"Me and Sigrun are going to find a good spot to surf, the waves here don't look big enough." Andreas added.
"Then Rose I will watch the camp until you all return." Said Thor, unaware of the grin Sigrun was giving Rossweisse.
"I'm pretty sure I may draw some cute Elf boy's eyes on me." Teased Alruna, purposefully throwing out her breasts to make them bounce making Ylva roll her eyes.
It wasn't long before the two parties were out of sight leaving Thor alone with Rossweisse to do whatever they wanted for who knows how long. Since becoming a couple the two had mostly stuck to holding hands and little kisses on the cheek and passionate lip kisses when alone just like right now. Thor told himself once his exercising was finished he was going to have a full on makeout season with Rossweisse until the others get back!
"Thor~"
He paused in his forward fold stretch when his name was called in a tone that made him feel a tingle run up his spine. It was Rossweisse's voice but sounded seductive, like a siren calling to sailors. He turned around to see his Valkyrie girlfriend brush a strand of hair away from her face with a very cute -no- seductive smile on her face. She slowly moved her hands to grab the hem of her shirt then pulled it over her head. The last time he saw Rossweisse wear a bikini it was cute but this one was meant to be sexy and it was doing the job very well.
She had foregone the wrap, now allowing her pale legs to be shown. Her boldness was on full display, the blue and white stripes only covering the bare necessities and leaving the rest visible only to the man she trusted above all others. The back of Thor's mind raced wondering just how the top stayed on without the usual straps. Long before coming to the beach Rossweisse agreed to her friend's advice but wanted them swearing that not one of them shall be around to see her act this way. She would be too timid to do such a lewd act with everyone watching, she wanted her first time acting seductive to only be seen by the man she trusted and loved. They agreed and would give her an hour of alone time with the God of Thunder.
Her little strip tease had done exactly what she wanted to happen; make Thor's eyes roaming all over her body.
Alruna was right, this one is drawing Thor's attention. Hehhe, he looks so cute blushing. Now to do exactly what Sigrun said. Striking a sexy pose, cocking her hips and thrusting her ample breasts out slightly, while fluttering her eyelashes, she purred. "Do you like it?"
Nodding like a child being offered free candy was not the only indication that Thor was enjoying the view. Unbeknownst to him he was giving the Valkyrie he loved a full view of the bulge in his shorts and it made her struggle to blush. She wasn't expecting her strip tease to cause such a reaction but it felt good to see her first attempt at acting sexy to have a profound effect on Thor. Calming her nerves she approached Thor with a swing of the hip in each step taken towards him. When she reached him her right hand was raised and placed upon her magic seal tattooed on Thor's chest which caused him to catch his breath at how warm and soft she felt.
Thor, meanwhile, felt his mind melt from the situation he found himself in. They just started dating and already she was showing her sexy side and it made him feel weird in a good way. He knew what this feeling was due to the tightness in his shorts; he was aroused by the Valkyrie's boldness of stripping, flirting, and touching him.
Being an inch taller than Rossweisse forced him to look down which allowed him to look straight down at her cleavage which was currently pressing against his chest and looked as if they might slip out of her top. For a split second he understood why Issei loved breasts so much; they were like pillows, soft yet firm. The view of her breasts was broken when the Valkyrie lifted her head to look into his eyes. His blue orbs staring into her aqua reminded him of the last time they were at the beach were she gave him his second braid and walked along the shore. Maybe he could ask to take a walk with her before leaving.
"Are you enjoying this?" Rossweisse purred, the sultry tone sending another shiver up Thor's back. Again he nodded prompting her to slip her arms around his neck and pull him closer to plant a kiss on the nose. She always wanted to do naughty things with a man and while this wasn't considered naughty, she would start slowly until she felt they were ready to take their relationship to the next level.
"Rose…" Thor struggled to find the right words to say next.
"Let's go swimming."
Displeased to have Rossweisse pull away, it faded when she seductively walked to her towel and purposefully bent over to show him a full view of her butt, the stripes making it look bigger, which was exactly what she wanted by the sly smile he couldn't see. Laying on her stomach she felt Thor's hands run along her back layering it in the white liquid to protect her skin. Proud at the success of her first flirt the demi-goddess relaxed into the God of Thunder's touch stifling a hum of delight. When Thor finished getting her legs, which he could have sworn heard her moan from, she did the rest herself while he worked on blocking himself before charging into the surf. His feet were just about to hit the water when a pair of arms warped around his chest and he was lifted off the sand to fly over the ocean.
The reflection in the water and the pale arms showed it was Rossweisse prompting him to ask, albeit in a stupid way, "Hey Rose, how are you able to lift me so easily?"
Rossweisse's eyes twinkle while a smile of amusement spreads across her shapely face, "Thor, sweetie. Have you forgotten I'm a master of magic? I know many types."
Did she just call me sweetie!? He thought as Rossweisse let him go to fall into the ocean Thor's yelp cut short as he sank beneath the waves. He didn't know how cold Niflheim or Helheim were yet but they must be much colder than Alfheim's water. Looking up he watched Rossweisse dive in crashing through the water like a rock through glass, her long silver hair floating about like a Kraken's tentacles before swimming up to him and, to the God of Thunder's surprise, cup his face and kiss him passionately. Her boldness still surprised him but he returned that affection with his own by wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her back while breaching the surface still locking lips with her. At last he broke the kiss for air and touched foreheads with her, "I love you."
Meanwhile
The roar of the surf drowned out Andreas' cheering to the Emerald Valkyrie who rode the curling wave with flawless skill and grace. The pair had walked for some miles before finding the perfect surf spot were other surfers, Elves mainly, rode the enormous waves. Each wave they rode had drawn the attention of other surfers, some cheering the Valkyrie and Einehrjar on while others challenging them and failing to match there skill with the board.
Andreas watched Sigrun ride the wave all the way to shore, her violet hair whipping back and forth as she shook the water out of it. From the time of battling Herakles at the top of Olympus, Andreas had slowly begun to form a bond of comradery before blossoming into a powerful friendship he cherished greatly. If it wasn't for Rota he may never have changed his views on his new friends from Asgard. His smile faded slightly, the memory of watching her die and being unable to do anything to help never went away, merely submerging into the depths of his mind and resurfacing from time to time, like waking him up last week. Even though the Allmother started him down the road to turn over a new leaf, it was Rota's death that pushed him fully, making him vowed upon the Gods of Olympus to never let another friend die.
"Man! That was fun!" Her recent victory had the young Valkyrie oozing with excitement.
"You were amazing." Andreas said, eyeing the wet and near naked Emerald Valkyrie, she sure was sexy.
"Is there something you like looking at?" She teased, purposefully pressing her ample breasts against his chest. Water droplets rolled off onto his pecs and some between her cleavage.
"I like looking at you." The Greek replied coolly, earning a wide grin from Sigrun.
"Oh? Is it for my breasts?" She teased.
"I'm not Issei. I'm looking at your lovely hair."
That prompted a blush to appear on Sigrun's cheeks, she rarely blushed but to hear a compliment from the guy she liked edged her on to come up with a perfect reply, "Is that so? Does that mean after today you'll take me on a date?"
Andreas didn't hesitate or blush or even step back as he said, "Yes. I would very much like to."
After more surfing the Greek Einherjar and Emerald Valkyrie returned to find The God of Thunder and Silver Haired Genius having a splash fight in the shallows that soon became a chicken fight between the two couples that Sigrun and Andreas lost spectacularly. Rossweisse was giddy with excitement by the news about Sigrun going on a date with Andreas who was enthusiastically slapped on the back by Thor. An hour had passed but the other Valkyries hadn't returned, Sigrun suggesting they find them which they did by following a group of young Elf boys who joined a crowd gathering around Alruna who was proudly flaunting her body she always took pride in her looks and loved the attention she got from it. Ylva meanwhile had been found preparing to go scuba diving into the coral reef, an activity Thor and Rossweisse eagerly asked to join the Elven Princess which she graciously accepted. The reef they swam through was beautiful as were the fish they saw, if any of them could talk they would tell the other what they saw.
As Rossweisse swam towards Thor to get his attention to look at a large orange coral with an eel hiding within she felt something large and slimy wrap around her limbs with a powerful grip. Eyes filled with fear as the unknown object revealed itself to a squid the size of a human and it had a nasty look in its large eyes, a look she recognized seeing on Odin and Issei. Emberessement overtook terror as one tentacle slowly made its way towards her top to expose her breasts to Ylva and Thor, the latter luckily noticed her situation and swam as fast as he could.
She sure was lucky he took time to learn how to swim after the first visits to Alfheim. She thought, watching the large red head slam into the creature's large head just as it slipped her top off, if Rossweisse would scream she would but that would fill her mouth with water and she did not want that to happen. The octopus released the Valkyrie to attack Thor allowing Rossweisse to cover her ample breasts, she would not allow Thor to see them yet, and watch all eight limbs lash out at Odin's son who furiously fought the sea creature with his bare hands to retrieve what the silver haired Valkyrie lost. Her cheeks grew red when a tentacle snake around Thor's waist nearly pulled off his trunks giving the warrior maiden a quick shot of her boyfriend's shapely butt. Luckily the young God managed to get back the bikini top and pass it to Ylva before delivering a nasty punch to its head forcing the sea creature to cease its assault and flee back into the coral reef. After Rossweisse secured her top and finished touring the reef they returned to the resort to find Herja pertaking in a lifting contest which she won by a landslide then join in a game of volleyball, and swapped tales of battles over sundaes.
"We were all there at the Battle of Olympus." Said Thor when Alruna finished her tale about stopping a rampaging Giant in Southern Finland, "That was the greatest battle of our lives."
"Are you kidding? That desperate fight against Kokabiel was much worse." Sigrun said, "He was a Fallen Angel leader bent on restarting the war against Heaven and Hell."
"Maybe for you but for me, my trial by fire was definitely Olympus." Alruna said, pointing to the eyepatch over her right eye and scar on her right thight, of all the Valkyries.
"And Rota's resting place." Andreas mumbled.
Herja blew out a long breath, "Olympus had scared you, hasn't it Andreas? That was were you gained Asgard a second chance and were you watched Rota die."
The Greek Einherjar nodded sadly, the energetic Valkyrie was a shining example of looking on the bright side of life and giving others second chances. Andreas knew if she was alive she'd have struck up a close friendship with Asia and Irina for their pure hearts. Perhaps she may have found Issei's perverted antics cute which of course would make him want her in his harem, a desire the Einherjar knew would be quickly shot down since she did not like harems. Didn't Issei understand that not every girl wanted to be a part of his harem? Maybe someday he will when he stops thinking about breasts.
Speaking of breasts, across the table Thor couldn't keep his focus on the conversation or Rossweisse's face, the fact that her bare breasts were nearly exposed to him underwater and always looking close to spilling out of her top gave him the secret desire to fully see them. He wouldn't deny lewd thoughts are a part of living beings but to think about them among his friends was equally as bad as Issei shouting his harem dream to the world, and that made Thor wish he had Mjolnir to bash his skull against. He reached over and took Rossweisse's hand; her skin felt smooth and warm under the sun. She smiled at him and he smiled back gently squeezing her hand to express his love for her. A love he vowed would never fade.
For Rossweisse, she wanted to spend more alone time but that would have to wait for when they get another chance, whenever that will be. While she wanted to experience more of her newly acquired love life she had to balance it out with her duty as a warrior maiden to Asgard and the royal family. Being the task master she was duty and love would be perfectly balanced especially after this fun day at Alfheim.
"I hope you guys have fun and stay safe in the Underworld." Alruna said after a long silence. The word about the Allfather and Thor going to the Devils homeland in a few days wasn't new news but she wanted to give her well wishes to them.
"Of course we will." Ylva reassured confidentiality.
"I hope so The Gremory family is kind from what I saw of Lord Lucifer and his family as well as what you told me about Rias Gremory. That doesn't, however, mean the other royal families will show you compassion." Alruna's gaze shifted to Thor, "Be wary of them, do not trust them until they trust you first, and be sure to show those demons not to mess with a God."
Thor's grip tightened just a little on Rossweisse as he said with a wide grin, "I will be sure to do so, Alruna."
Well that's a wrap for 2023! Friends grow and romance blossoms. I won't deny writing that beach scene of Rossweisse showing her sexy side was very sexy to write, I may have it commissioned as an art peice next year if I get the money hahaha. The rest of what i wrote for those two love bugs was just as fun! At long last we shall be going to the Underworld were Thor will reunite with the Gremory peerage along with making new friends and enemies.
See you all in 2024!
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
