《The Rise Of A Porter 》Chapter 488: Impromptu Allies (1)

"You called for me, master?" Talos Asked Arnold who was still sitting on the floor waiting for him to arrive.
"I did. Follow me." Arnold got and led Talos back to the room where he had tortured Heimdall, and pointed at the corpse of the god, "Resurrect him."
"Master, are you sure about it?"
Talos wasn't sure it was a good idea to resurrect a fallen god. After all, doing so would mean that Arnold was essentially granting him immortality. If Heimdall was to refuse his authority then, it might cause Arnold trouble later on. That's why he wanted to make sure that Arnold actually had thought it through and wasn't making a hasty decision by doing this.
"I got it all under control. Just do as I said."
Arnold replied in his emotionless voice. In fact, Arnold's voice was probably even more emotionless than those of the automatons now. Either way, Talos got the confirmation he needed and that was it. He just wanted to make sure he had expressed his opinion, nothing else.
A few moments passed and Heimdall slowly opened his eyes. He was relaxed as if he had just woken up from a nightmare. However, the reality soon dawned upon him and he realised he hadn't woken up from the nightmare... but he had woken up 'in' the nightmare.
Talos' advanced resurrection spell healed all of Heimdall's wounds. Even his eyes, although, now they were more like normal eyes and nothing more. However, these eyes were enough to cause him to panic.
Arnold's ruthless eyes were all he could see and started frantically looking around. He saw Talos and immediately lept towards him. Heimdall knew he was the one who resurrected him as Arnold's godly powers had not manifested enough for him to resurrect someone.

On top of it, the state he was in, Heimdall knew it wasn't a 'true' resurrection. But an ability that only a master necromancer could use. Thus he knew it was Talos who had resurrected him, and he was also the one who could cancel the resurrection.
He wasn't sure if Arnold's summon could resurrect a god, that's why he was happy when Arnold finally killed him. Thinking Arnold would never be able to resurrect him and hurt him again. But he was proven wrong yet again.
"No... no. NO! Cancel the resurrection! I beg you-"
"For a god, you sure beg a lot. The title of the god of beggars would suit you more than something as fancy as the protector of Asgard." Arnold said before squatting down to Heimdall's level, "Listen up, you got two choices now. Either help me and maybe when I'm done doing what I have to, I'll grant you eternal peace or I'll chop you in pieces and kill you right now. However, it won't be the end as you'll resurrect again and I'll do the same again and again till you agree to do the former."
If someone else would have said those words to him, Heimdall would have laughed at their face. But after being tortured by him for days, he knew how sadistic Arnold could be. It wasn't wise to anger him anymore and when Heimdall thought about it, Arnold's proposal didn't seem bad at all.
In fact, if he joined up with him, he just might be able to get his revenge on Loki and Zeus for using him and abandoning him later on. And after all, was done and taken care of, he just might achieve peace.
"I... agree," Heimdall said in a calm tone while bowing down in front of his new master.

Arnold wordlessly got up and looked in the far corner of the room. There was another corpse lying there. The corpse too was once a god but now he was going to become another slave for Arnold to rule over. However, this time Arnold was actually contemplating whether it was a good idea or not.
Unlike Heimdall, Hermes was practically useless to him without his gears, that is, his shoes that Arnold had destroyed already. Moreover, he was sure that Hermes would even submit to him. After all, Hermes probably hated him just as much as Zeus did and unlike Heimdall, Hermes wasn't aware of the new side of Arnold and might not give in with just threats.
A couple of seconds passed and Arnold decided it was not worth it. At least not yet. With that, the three of them walked out of the chamber and towards an onlooking summons who couldn't believe he actually resurrected Heimdall.
"Bring me Hercules," Arnold asked everyone there and all of them rushed over to look for the demigod who had been reduced to a dog.
While they were doing that, Heimdall was left alone with Arnold there. Heimdall thought that now that they were on the same side, he should express his condolences but even before he could utter a word Arnold stopped him.
"Keep your words to yourself and don't be confused," Arnold said while briefly pointing his summons, "Unlike them, you are my slave and you don't speak until spoken to or ask permission first."
"As you wish," Heimdall immediately stepped back and waited for a few seconds before opening his mouth once again, "Can I ask you something, my lord?"
Arnold nodded and Heimdall continued, "Forgive my rudeness, but if you can have a god resurrected on your will then why didn't you resurrect your sister the same way?"
"You think I'm a fool who didn't try? Or are you a fool who doesn't even know the steps of the resurrection of a vassal? Either way, I did do everything that came to my mind but nothing worked..."
Arnold shook his head before continuing, "Nothing will work on her till I kill Loki, who was the one Nicole served. Only none of the resurrection techniques worked on her. Since I have to kill Loki either way, I decided it was better for me to do it by myself as Talos' resurrection might be incomplete even after all that. I hope that satisfied your curiosity?"
"It did..." Heimdall nodded, "What are we doing here then?"
"Gathering strong allies. That's what."

Kidnapped by the Alpha
This is back up! I never got around to editing it because I didn't have the time like I thought I would. Enjoy this and the sequel.Isabelle was jolted awake out of her nightmare quite suddenly. Dazed, she tried to look around but found that her head was held firmly to the pillow under her. Cloth covered her mouth and nose, a sickly sweet smell enveloping her senses. Her mind began getting hazy. Chloroform, her mind whispered almost silently. Her vision began tunneling, and she weakly looked up into a pair of icy blue eyes. She stared into those eyes as she was pulled deeply and forcefully into oblivion. Isabelle is a smart girl and not really the girly type unless going out. You would usually see her wearing sweats around the house or outside in her backyard on the beach since she lives on the ocean. So when she suddenly gets kidnapped one day, she wonders what she had ever done to deserve this. She hadn't done anything wrong, at least she didn't think she did. But she learns that there is something about her that is special and that she is not only human. Meet Jared Gray, the person that kidnapped Isabelle because of her being his mate. He's been waiting since he was 16 to find his mate and now he's 22, about to give up on ever finding his mate. But when he smells her in a mall one day, he follows her home and decides to take what's his. Isabelle's life will never be the same again. Will she be able to escape or will she fall in love with her hot and charming kidnapper that she wants nothing to do with? Or will she stay with him and eventually fall in love? --- THIS IS A DRAFT. And I was 15 when I first started writing it so there are many mistakes. Please don't judge too harshly. WARNING: CONTAINS SOME SCENES OF SEXUAL AND MATURE CONTENTALSO, MANY MISTAKES! SOME THINGS I'VE WRITTEN I FORGOT TO PUT BACK IN THE STORY SO THIS NEEDS TO BE HEAVILY EDITED. Sequel is called Unwinding Fate
