《Between Gods And Mortals》Chapter 11: The Truth Will Set You Free
Advertisement
Mike opens his eyes and finds himself lying on a couch in a great room. Looks like Sylvia dragged him to a house near where they were. Her head hurts and he puts his hand on her to see if he's bleeding or has any injuries. Apparently only the broken ribs are his biggest problem. Still dizzy he tries to get up. Sylvia appears behind his back with a glass in his hand and puts a hand on her shoulders, preventing him from getting up.
Easy there big boy, you got your ribs broken! He is quiet on the couch. Here! This will help you! Okay.
Mike takes the glass that was in Sylvia's hand and sits at a small table that was in front of him, between the sofa and the television. Many questions run through the boy's mind to the point that he doesn't know where to start, but he has decided to be patient and play her game for now.
Sylvia hasn't tied Mike up and hasn't shown any hostile attitude so far, besides answers she wants something else he can't know until now. Both are facing each other without saying anything. The boy doesn't take the liquid she just handed him and she repairs it. Sylvia takes the glass from Mike's hands and takes it to demonstrate that it wasn't poison. She drinks and tilts her head to the side, showing that it's safe and nothing to worry about.
If I wanted to kill you. You would have been dead for a long time… Drink! He will heal you! - Mike takes the drink offered by the girl and sees that it is very similar to the ones Woden made for him after training sessions. It just tasted so much better. The feeling was the same though What you want after all ? Look… I'm sorry if I had to fight it all. Which caused his broken ribs and other injuries, but it was necessary. I thought you were hiding something from me or lying... I don't know and don't even know who Odin is. Yes, you have gone so far in our battle that I no longer doubt it! Who are you anyway? Long story, Mike. What you need to know for now is that I came from a very far away place to find someone! With your excuses and vague explanations… I feel so much better now! Mike, I need you to take me to your father! What ? My dad ? Yes! Why ? I believe he has answers to both my questions and yours… My questions ? I have nothing to ask that bastard... Oh, you're wrong, Mike… ever wondered how you can be so strong as your basketball buddies, your unusual physique that abnormal for a kid your age? What ? Mike… Do you remember our fight before you passed out?
The boy starts to remember some glowing rock that exploded and he was flung far away. He was only stopped because of a car that was there. Just remembering that, his broken ribs transmit a huge pain that makes him reach for the spot.
Do you really think that if you were normal… Would you have survived our fight? What do you mean by that ? You are special, Mike! What ? Anyway… my dad can't help you at all! Why not ? He ran away the moment I was born... Damn… I thought he would have the answers… But if he's missing… Who trained you all this time? Do you mean Master Woden? Woden? Yes, he's been my master for about eight years! Eight years ? The last time we heard about Odin… What ? Take me to your master immediately! What does he have to do with it? He has a lot to explain to you and me. He has information on your father too, that's for sure. He is the key to everything! Okay, let's go to my bike.

Although Mike is frustrated at losing to a mysterious girl, she still talks about confusing things and practically forces him to take him to his master. Mike obeys her whims because deep down he wants to know his father's whereabouts and why he abandoned his mother and himself. A few moments ago Mike's intention had been to join her game to know her intentions, only he hadn't expected the game to turn to the point where he was at Sylvia's mercy.
Both are outside and Mike sees that the battle and Audrey's house are close. All this happened without anyone noticing, this girl is more dangerous than he thought, planned all this and even took her to a house in the region that was empty. The plans for what to do at home must have changed because of the fight, but Sylvia must be a genius anyway.
Mike hears footsteps of someone running towards her as he shouts her name. He turns to see who it is and it's none other than Jason. His friend of his worried a lot about his disappearance. Mike knows you can't tell him the truth. He'll have to come up with a nice excuse.
Mike!! What was there ? You're done! Did not reply to messages! I'm sorry… Well… I was…
Jason sees Sylvia in front of him and gives his best friend a smile. Jason thinks he understood the whole situation just by looking. He thinks Sylvia and Mike were making out secretly before the party and that's why they're late. Jason admires Mike's temper, but thinks the attitude was wrong because of the Jessica he was unraveling. Anyway, Sylvia is a very pretty girl. A tear would come out of Jason's eyes to see where his friend had arrived.
Well… no need to explain further! Oh hello… Sylvia – she doesn't say much and just nods. That's it, Jason! Thanks for worrying about me! I must go now… What ? And the party? And Jes…? Why are you leaving? Sylvia can come, I just need to talk to Audrey first, since she's new. Not! There is no time to explain! I must go now! Until later! Okay, I won't insist!
Jason sees his friend and Sylvia leave in a hurry. He leaves that aside and gives his friend a vote of confidence. If he said it's okay, it must be, by the way he knows how to protect himself, or at least he thinks. Jason obviously doesn't know the spanking he took from Sylvia. Each goes their own way, Jason to the party and Mike to Woden for answers.
They get to the bike and climb up. Mike hands a helmet to Sylvia who puts it on. He hoped whoever went for it would be Jessica later, the day ended in a way he never expected. Behind Woden that he tried so hard to get rid of to go to the party and took a beating from Sylvia which also brought up new questions and mysteries. This night is sure to be a long one.
Mike and Sylvia are together on the bike heading towards Woden as he may have the much sought after answers. The boy was thrown in the middle of it all. He rides the bike very quickly. It's already night so the streets are empty. Even at high speed it's impossible not to notice the beautiful smell coming from it.
The Asian girl caught Mike's attention like no other before, with the exception of Jessica, of course. Her unique beauty is captivating, but her personality is another case. The priorities made both of them not have manners with each other.

Say Mike… Here in Midgard you live so freely and spontaneously… Is there no fear of war? Midgard? Wars happen anytime and everywhere, but we are so inert in our world that we forget... Hmm… unexpected answer… I just say what I think. I can't be cynical and hypocritical... I understand. I think the events to come could change the course of all realms and worlds in ways never seen before… You speak in a very weird way! Are you sure you're not crazy? I ended up forgetting that you are a human. It's not like me… Why did you follow me these days? Was it you in that alley, parking lot and living room? Yes, your senses were able to sense my presence after that day. I've been watching you for a while... Your senses have improved and you could feel my presence. What ? Yes, but that doesn't matter now. Your master Woden, if he is who I think he is, will have all the answers. Maybe even more questions will come… We're just coming, hold on tight!
Mike steps more on the gas and cuts the subject right there. The more he talks to Sylvia, the more he thinks she's crazy. Midgard, odin, medicine similar to those prepared by Woden. The boy even thinks he was poisoned or under the influence of hallucinogens. Everything was very abnormal that night.
They finally arrive at Woden's compound. Both got off the bike and left the helmet on it. Mike walks towards the door and knocks on the big wooden door at the same time as he shouts his master's name. Mike is so upset and angry that he doesn't ring the bell. Demonstrating his great desperation for Woden to come and open the door soon.
On purpose, the old man takes a long time to open the door. Several workouts this week like breathing and amplifying the senses so they were worthless. Mike keeps knocking on the door until Woden's voice is heard over the intercom.
What was it Mike? Don't tell me he went wrong with that girl and now he wants comfort? Isn't it! Is important! It's serious business! Okay boy! Come in, I'm in the kitchen!
The door opens and the two enter, Mike comes out ahead because he knows the way. They walk up some stairs until they reach the kitchen. Woden has a glass of juice in his hand and first sees Mike. Just as he was about to ask what he was going on, Sylvia appeared in Woden's eyes. The glass falls from the glass, falls to the floor and shatters. Sylvia runs off towards old Mike, who thinks she was about to attack him. But the unbelievable happens. The two hug each other tightly.
Bella! What do you do here ? I haven't seen you since you were a little girl! Odin! How could you have abandoned my father and the kingdom?!
Mike looks on in bewilderment. Odin and Sylvia know each other. Or rather Bella, that's her real name. She even lied about her name and told half-truths. But the synergy that is transmitted from Woden's embrace demonstrates even a degree of kinship, as if he were her uncle. However, Mike is missing the main information said. Bella said Odin instead of Woden. Which is to say it was her master she had been looking for all this time.
Thinking only makes Mike more confused, angry and to make matters worse more questions are asked then answered. He doesn't know anything and has no idea what's to come. One of the greatest fears of human beings is what they cannot see or are unaware of. Which as a result can lead to hasty actions. Mike breaks his silence towards the two who were happy to be reunited.
Woden, can you explain to me what's going on? Or rather, Odin? Who are you ? She said you could get answers from my father… - Woden's expression suddenly changes to serious, he lowers his head for a moment showing regret Mike... He will explain everything to you Mike! But what I have to say is priority! I'm sorry-Bella interrupts Odin before she can explain his story. Mike with nothing to do sits in the kitchen chair and watches the two of them talk. Tell me what's going on then! - Says Odin. A war is about to break out. Asgardians against giants… What ? Like? Lumnus and I make a lasting peace! My father is dead. Killed by a high-top Asgardian apparently. Einar managed to identify a single sword on the day of the murder. Besides, my brother will become king soon and a war will break out. Ragnarson knew I couldn't win against my brother, so he put a vote on who would be king so we could buy time. By the gods, a lot happened while I was gone! - Woden demonstrates the sadness never seen by Mike before, who assumes that this Lumnus was a valued friend to Odin. Thor and Erik are explosive. Not to mention that his son was never in favor of peace between Asgardians and giants. Surely they will go to war! Without a shadow of a doubt! - Woden doesn't say much, it's still hard to digest all this information. I knew you were in Midgard. I went to the witch sisters who brought me here. Thanks to Mike, who by the way we should talk about, I'm here in front of you. I understand.
The conversation continued for a few more hours. Bella reported everything that had happened in the last few years that Odin was out of Asgard. Mike listened to everything but didn't really want to speak or interrupt. In Bella's vision, Odin could make peace again by talking to his son and advisers, his influence being as great as Lumnus's. For perpetual peace, Odin took Mjolnir from Thor.
The Mjolnir is one of the most powerful weapons in the universe and in the hands of his son, Odin knew that peace could not happen. In Thor's blood runs the will to war from his ancestors. Even weakened, he doesn't need reasons to go to war.
Bella keeps reporting everything to Odin, down to the smallest detail. Everything is needed to fully understand the situation and what needs to be done. Until it gets to the point of how she found him. She knew from the meeting Odin and his parents had before they left, that he would go into exile in Midgard. She was listening to their meeting and heard the word "Brooklyn."
When she says this, Mike takes his full attention back to their conversation, as he lives in Brooklyn, but Odin doesn't. Which makes the boy believe that it was not a mere coincidence. Mike managed to control all his anger despite this, he missed dinner with the girl he liked, lies were told and he was beaten. This is a brief summary that this is reason enough for him to hit the table or scream, but he decided to be calm, listen and analyze the situation as a whole.
She goes on to explain that she couldn't find Odin in the early days and she believed it was because the old man was hiding his spiritual strength as he didn't want to be found, and so he mingled with the humans of Midgard. Odin just nods in agreement with Bella's whole hypothesis, which turns out to be true.
While watching everything that happened in the place called Brooklyn, she found Mike. He drew attention through the great spiritual force that emanated and he didn't care to hide or didn't know. From that as being the only clue. Bella followed Mike for a few days to see if he led somewhere or anyone.
Before finding Odin, the mission had not advanced that far, she received information through Einar as to how the votes for the kingdom's succession were going. Her brother Erik and Siegfried garnered several votes in her favor and took the lead in the race. Without her presence in Jotunheim, defeat is imminent. Erik has fallen into the elder's fangs and wants the total elimination of the giants as a form of revenge. The interest of the two intercedes.
Odin sees that the girl in front of her has inherited her father's head. Always thinking ahead of your time and on the whole.
There are many new facts coming to the surface to reason with. Odin decides to think first about his friend's death. Bella knows he was killed by someone at the top for possessing a weapon in a unique and symbolic matter.
Can you draw the gun that killed your father? Yes I Can! I just need paper and a pen!
Bella draws the supposed sword and before she finished Odin would make his second surprised face of the day. He recognized the sword and consequently knows who the owner is. What would be good, the kingdom has been searching for days for the murderer and it is only known that he is Asgardian. Knowing the perpetrator could even prevent a possible war.
Do you know who owns this sword? Yes, but it's impossible! I refuse to believe it! Who is my father's killer? Ivar...
At this point, Mike who was watching the whole situation now has Odin firmly looking into his eyes. The boy doesn't understand his reaction, but apparently. Ivar has some direct relationship with the boy. He can see the frustration and hope mixed in Mike's direction in the old man's eyes.
Woden approaches Mike and puts his hands on his shoulders. Without understanding anything, the boy is frightened by his master today. Expressions, gestures and feelings never revealed before in years surface in a few hours that he has never seen in years together.
Mike… this man… who killed Lumnus… is your father! What ? It can not be! My dad is a regular guy, no killer. Even though we've never seen each other. My mom would have told me if he was a bad person. He abandoned me as soon as I was born. And his name wasn't Ivar. She hasn't told you anything because she doesn't know anything about our world and you will! Mike, we're going to need you more than you think! Your role will be critical! What are you talking about, Odin? - Bella intrudes on their conversation. All the training you've had so far was for this moment. Even if you don't want to and it's against your will. You will have to inherit responsibilities... Woden, I don't understand anything? Inherit responsibility? Son of Ivar? This is all crazy! I'm just a normal kid going to college... No, Mike! You are not! And I always knew that! You are special! I believe you are the chosen one.
Mike is shocked by everything Woden says to him. Now it's the boy's turn to receive the explanations and be the second to have a big surprise at night, followed by the old man. Woden sees that Mike doesn't believe anything they say and so he has to do something about it. Until a few hours ago, everything was normal. Now you have magic, gods, war and your father.
Let's go outside, Mike! What do you want to show? Just follow me!
The three walk towards what appears to be the backyard of Woden's big house. The sky is all dark and starless, you can only see the full moon illuminating this beautiful New York night, everything is very quiet in this neighborhood and the temperature is pleasant. Except for Mike, who sees all this favorable mood and regrets that he could enjoy it with his friends and Jessica
Woden takes the lead and leaves a space between Mike and Bella. He raises both his arms to shoulder height. Nothing happens for five seconds. Which makes Mike smile slightly. Just as he was about to open his mouth to say that the old man and this girl were crazy, clouds began to appear in the sky and fill in what was previously clean. The clouds hide the moon and start to release strong, noisy and frightening rays. Which makes Mike slightly scared.
The thunder starts approaching Woden's compound, until he hits it. The beam falls on Woden who controls it and now has it circling around the body. He lowers his arms a little and extends his hand towards Mike. More lightning continues to fall nearby and with the loudest thundering noise made so far, a large spear appears in front of Mike.
The spear goes to Odin's hand who takes it. The long, gold-colored object, nicknamed Gungnir. The weapon is known to be used by him. As strong as Mjolnir, according to legends. Mike remembers that this was taught in Greek Mythology class by his teacher.
After all this demonstration, it is impossible not to believe that whoever is in front of him is none other than Odin, the father of all.

Blind As a Bat [1st book complete]
Book 1 He was cast to the edges of his clan. His father could not stand to even look at him. His baby sister probably didn't even know he was her brother... All because he, unlike all other vampire (The correct terminology will be Wanpyrkos; van-peer-coe-s) kind, was born blind. And what do all creatures do to those that are different, those that do not fit society, those that they think should not have been born to this civilized society...? [Book Cover Made by the wonderful THEMIDNIGHTECLIPSE13] - thank you! I'm only introducing the perspective of the main character for the first part. Things change drastically soon after that. [BDSM entries are clearly marked and written so they can be skipped without affecting the story] ***A couple scenes to whet your palate*** 1. "Uh, we heal from pretty much everything and anything. Have you ever tried physically damaging your eyes to see if they would fully heal?" "N-no. No, it doesn't work," I forced out, my voice a little strangled and cracking before hardening. "And stuff like that, isn't that just wrong?! Hurting someone just to 'fix' them." 2. I leaned and he met me, our soft lips touching and moving perfectly on each other's. I felt as his tongue ran the slit of my lips, my tongue coming to graze it as it passed over, knowing doing so was like catnip to him. He leaned closer, and I shivered as his hands ran from low on my hips and grazed along and up my ribs, pulling my chest closer to his so my body arched and rubbed against him. I hummed in appreciation. [warning: so far aggressive or physical bullying and maybe a little kidnappage and sexual themes as well as possible trigger warnings]
