Valhalla Saga

Chapter 43 - Joining # 3

&

Odin's throne, the king of the gods, is empty.

Freya looks at the golden throne decorated in splendor, and instead of sitting on the throne, she sits flat on the floor in front of her.

She was Valhalla's second.

Odin, who lost his heir to the Great War, chose Freya as his successor. Now that Odin is dead, that empty throne belonged to Freya.

But Freya doesn't want to sit on the throne. If I sat up there, I would really admit that Odin was dead.

“What the hell are you doing when you're really dead? ”

Freya mutters harshly and smiles foolishly.

“Bastard. ”

If you were planning such a grand plan, you would have warned me. For over a hundred years, Freya herself and the whole world have been fooled.

Furthermore, if you were so prepared, you would have succeeded. You should have succeeded and won the war like a god.

“Bastard. ”

I cursed again. But I couldn't find my temper. Why are you doing the helicopter? Why the fuck is the king on the front lines? What about the rest of them if they scream?

Freya cries, panting. It wasn't just because I was afraid after the seal was broken. I always wanted to see my king, who was crumpled up with a fat face.

“Bastard. ”

The last time Freya vomited, she wiped her tears with the back of her hand. Her makeup was wiped from her tears and became a mess, but she was still beautiful.

“There's only three days left. ”

Freya raises her voice a little. It was said to the man who opened the door of the king's room, not to himself.

“Time left until the seal breaks? ”

After closing the door, Ragnar asks in a bold voice. Freya nods a few times and lightly touches her face with her magical palm. Then my tears wiped my makeup clean.

Freya vomits for a long time. As a beauty goddess, she was beautiful without any ado. Rather, it was just another glamorous appearance that was different from the usual colorful appearance.

“The seals are breaking a little faster. Between three and four days, but actually, three days is fine. ”

Freya gets up from her seat and once again stands Odocani looking up at the king's throne. Eventually, I resolved my mind and approached the throne. Finally, I closed my eyes tightly and sat on the throne.

Ragnar glances at Freya like that. Freya smiles. A cheerful, lively girl smiles as if she was lying.

“What's going on out there? ”

The seals of Valhalla are truly solid, completely sealing off the inside and the outside. Freya had no idea what was going on out there. The Valkyries who commanded us to go to the palace and Olympus had no idea how many of them had escaped Asgard.

“Good to have you, Ragnar Lothbrok. The great Viking king. ”

It was Ragnar who informed me of Odin's death and the events involved.

Without him, Freya would have waited for Odin's return instead of sealing Valhalla. But he said Odin was dead, and Freya did not deny him. I have denied it hundreds and thousands of times in my mind, but I have refused to admit it until now, but unlike my mind, I thought and judged quickly. Instead of being overwhelmed by the Giants, such as cowardice, you sealed Valhalla to ensure that some time and Valhalla's troops remain intact.

‘It is indeed pleasant. ’

Freya mutters to herself, her hands suddenly reaching into the air. I grabbed and pulled it lightly, and in his hand was a beautiful necklace that was hard to express.

Bringinghamen.

It was the name of the most beautiful and colorful necklace in Asgard, suitable for Freya, the most beautiful goddess.

Freya fills her own white, thin neck with brisk garment. Only when there was something really important, I kept it in the treasure chest for a hundred years, but my heart was still pounding like for the first time.

“What do you think, pretty? ”

Freya asks with a face as pure as a child. Freya, who held Bridginggarmen around her neck, was so beautiful that she seemed to be caught in a bright light.

“Not empty words or Abu, it's beautiful. ”

Ragnar gave up and said in confidence that he was going to do something poetic. However, Freya nods loudly as if she was satisfied with the honesty contained in the bluntness.

“I've had a hard time getting this, of course. ”

I smiled like a child again. And then I shrunk my tired shoulders.

“I'm not just going to die. I am the goddess of Asgard's beauty in the most beautiful form, and I am the magical god · · · I intend to engrave the heads of giants as well as the souls. ”

Freya buries her back on the throne. What remained instead of child-like naturalness was a magical goddess who faced eternity and beauty.

“You can win. ”

Ragnar said, there was no burning passion in wolf-like eyes, but there was no cold self-help or unique cynicism.

Freya nods.

“Yes, we don't know the circumstances outside the seal. Maybe Prince Charming will show up and save us. I'm counting on the thunder prince. ”

In fact, what I'm most looking forward to is Thor and his army.

Maybe I'll break Frosty Giant King Harmati and come to Valhalla.

Maybe we can defeat the Giants with the power of Asgard alone.

Freya's clever head does not allow for vague expectations. The odds were too low. It was more realistic to expect reinforcements from the palace or Olympus.

‘It won't be easy at all. ’

The palace and Olympus were also at war with those who wished to be destroyed in their own world. I could not help Shy Asgard.

Freya knew what Ragnar knew. But he still hadn't given up. The walls of Valhalla were high and there were still many warriors left.

‘I'm so glad. ’

There's Ragnar, and if he didn't, he'd be heartbroken.

Freya smiles quietly, fixing her face again. I unknowingly told Ragnar in a crooked posture.

“In the end · · · You know · · I'm sorry I got you involved. ”

“I'd be happy to take one more giant with me. ”

Freya was thinking about blowing herself up. Draw in as many giants as you can and then explode all of Valhalla.

If you detonate enough power to almost pulverize Asgard, even the giants won't be safe.

‘Of course, this side as well. ’

A means to an end.

Ragnar is new. Freya realizes why he is the greatest of all Viking kings.

A warrior I coveted but couldn't get my hands on.

I didn't go anywhere to talk because it was embarrassing, but I wasn't the first warrior of Idun. The first was Ragnar Lothbrok, the great Viking king.

“What about her? ”

I naturally thought of Idun's warrior.

Freya's question made Ragnar smile for the first time since he entered this room. I replied thinking of the goddess who had the same eyes as Freya.

“I'm preparing for the end. ”

&

Idun's garrison is quiet.

It was different from the garrisons of other troops preparing for the final battle.

“Actually, this is normal. ”

He looks at the barracks where the lesser warriors were gathering and says small.

Idun's garrison was originally quiet. A hundred years of silence since the Great War.

It was only recently that things became noisy. It's only been a few months since the lowest warriors came in, day and night, and raised their voices.

Nevertheless, there seemed to be a hole in the corner of my chest. No, I felt like I had a big hole in the middle.

Heda walks a little more. Rock Suppent McLaren lies silently as if he were a rock. Rollo's wives and cubs nearby recognized Heda, but they lowered their heads quietly, either because of the heavy atmosphere that was pressing all over Valhalla.

Heda smiles lightly, reassuring the young of Rollo and continues to walk. Skazaha stands alone in front of the lake, gazing far away.

‘I thought watching the end of the world was enough for once. ’

She doesn't make a sound. But Heda could hear. Skazar greets Heda with a spear in one hand. Heda responded with a greeting, and Skazaha's gaze turned back to a distant place.

I wonder what happened to Rollo.

I heard Adenmaha and Merlin stayed in Midgard, but are they safe now?

Sigrun and Goodrun.

The new lowly warriors.

One by one, he deliberately went back. I wanted to slow down as much as possible when mentioning the last one.

Heda stops walking. I was in front of the ferry. It was a colony that had expanded and turned unnoticed, but the surrounding area remained unchanged.

An old ferry, a small house, and a temple made of stone.

I didn't see him die.

I wasn't sure he was dead.

So I believed. I didn't give up. I forcibly thought so.

I took another step. You enter the quiet temple and stand in the middle.

The landscape has changed. All over the meadow, a massive golden apple tree rises up in front of you as if it were touching the sky.

Heda walks a little more. Then I saw the memorial stone. The names of those who died defending themselves in the Great War were listed below the names of Bragi and Idun.

Heda reaches out and touches the surface of the memorial stone. I stood with my back against the memorial stone and spread out my hands. The eye patch covering both eyes was made from light and held in Heda's hands.

Heda, daughter of Idun and Bragi.

The last Valkyrie of the Order of Idun.

The last survivor.

“Idun.”

Heda said, he put a blindfold on his face. I woke up a second personality who was silent as if asleep.

“Heda.”

Idun said.

Asgard needed a new Idun when the former Idun died. However, Heda, who was a candidate, still lacked many things to become a high ranking god.

Moreover, Heda was mentally unsettled to see his stepfather killed, as well as the warriors of Idun, who thought like his older sister and brother. It was not an ideal situation to take the place of God.

But Asgard always needed Idun. After a forced succession, Hedha was no longer just Hedha.

A second personality as the goddess of youth and life.

This is the dawn of a time that inherited the power and mission of the predecessor Ithun.

Heda and Idun recognized each other. Idun patched up Heda's dying heart because he was hurt. I helped her get back up.

Heda thought of Idun as his sister and sister. Idun thought of Heda as his brother and sister.

Few knew the secret. Ragnar knew the existence of Idun, but he thought he was a hero. And so was Odin.

But Freya was different. She considers Heda and Idun separate. I always wanted to separate the two. It wasn't because I hated either side. Because they both thought they were goddesses of Asgard.

When the Seal of Valhalla is broken, and the moment of the final fight comes.

Idun was going to go out and fight. Heda agreed.

Idun hugs his shoulder. Nazik said, leaning against the memorial stone.

“Heda, there's something I want to say. ”

“What is it, Idun? ”

“I like Taejo, too. ”

He said as shy as a child. Heda sighs and nods.

“I knew it. ”

“I'm sorry.”

I gave up my heart because I was such a fool to find Hedda's warrior who only knew where to meet her. I tried not to, but eventually I liked it.

“I recognized you when you gave me your greatest blessing. Did you know that I screamed inside? ”

Idun's lips twitched as he said prankingly. Eventually, his face turned red and he said in a loud voice.

“You know what I see, and you don't want to hear it from someone who's done everything to the stars. ”

“What do you mean, the stars? ”

“Only in front of the temple. ”

This time, Idun blushed his face and said, "This is the time." It must have been strange to see two people with one body, but fortunately, it was only Heda and Idun who were here.

“I see. Idun has always been a sneaky peeper. So it was.”

“So did Heda. You saw it all and you did it on purpose. ”

Heda and Idun attacked each other. And soon, no one smiled first.

“You'll live, right?"

“You'll live. I didn't feel death. I just lost the connection. ”

“Will I ever see you again? ”

“We will meet again. I will. I will. ”

The only thing that can hold the seal is the next three days.

The only thing that followed was war and death.

So it was a dream story. And if he was really alive, I'd rather he didn't show up. That's why I wanted Taeho to survive.

“To Asgard and the Nine Realms. ”

“To the army of Idun, to the warriors of Idun. ”

Heda and Idun said. As the goddess of youth and life, the Valkyrie of Idun's legions has firmly established itself.

And then three days later.

It's almost noon.

Valhalla's seal breaks.
