"That's right" he said. "I am your father" he added with a wide grin.Noah stumbled backwards, his eyes wide with disbelief, as soon as he heard those words. "No. I don't know anything," he said, his voice shaking slightly. "You're not my father. My father died years ago." He added, turning to walk away from the man in an attempt to distance himself from the unsettling revelation.But he heard the man let out a loud, menacing laugh behind him. He felt annoyed and turned to look at the man, wondering what was so funny that made him laugh like that."Oh, I forgot he's crazy," he said to himself silently, shaking his head before turning to walk away again. But the man's next words stopped him in his tracks."Let me tell you a story, Noah," the man said, his voice low and mysterious.Noah didn't stop, didn't look back, and just kept walking. But the man continued, undeterred. "The story is about a woman named Ulma and a man named Odin."Noah's heart skipped a beat as soon as he heard

In that moment, he felt a million emotions swirling inside him. He could bear the thought of her leaving him, but he would never let her take his child away from him. Never! He couldn't tolerate the idea of being separated from his own flesh and blood. With a surge of adrenaline, he immediately dragged her back, his anger boiling over. "I'm done being patient with you!" he growled, his eyes blazing with fury.Ulma was shocked at the sudden transformation. She had never seen Odin switch from calm to menacing so quickly, and it left her breathless. Just moments before, he had been speaking calmly, but now his voice was low and menacing. She felt a chill run down her spine as she saw the fierce look in his eyes. He looked like he was ready to tear her apart, his anger and possessiveness radiating from him like a palpable force. "Odin, please..." she whispered, her voice trembling with fear.But he just spat out his words in a venomous tone. "I'm not going to hurt you, Ulma...yet. But I'

Odin had gone back the next night but Ulma was nowhere to be found. Did She not understand that he was just trying to protect her? Demons were Crazy, powerful creatures and even the lowly ones could rip her apart with their bare hands. The thought was upsetting but he was slowly becoming angry and impatient with Ulma too. He had tried again and again to bring her to safety but she was so unappreciative of his efforts and kept seeing him as some kind of monster. Only his love for her spared her from the full weight of his displeasure for the blatant disregard that she had shown him. Odinlet out a deep, gloomy sigh as he gazed out into the distance. His time here was running out - he had only about a week left before he had to return to his kingdom. The weight of his responsibilities was crushing him; someone had to manage the kingdom, and he couldn't delay his return any longer. The timing was critical, and their plan was at a delicate stage. If he didn't return soon, everything could

"Noah..." He suddenly heard a feminine voice whisper. He glanced back at his friends to see if it was any of them calling him, but they were all engrossed in their activities. Crane was pestering Matthew about the river as he unpacked his bag, while Nicholas and Gemma set up tents, oblivious to the mysterious voice that had caught Noah's attention.Noah's gaze swept the area, but no one seemed to be paying attention to him. He turned back to face the river, a shiver running down his spine. He wondered if it was Odin playing mind tricks on him again."Noah.." he heard the voice whisper again. This time, a little louder."Who's there?" He called out, his voice barely above a whisper.Noah didn't get any response. He waited a few minutes, but there was still no answer, so he turned to walk away."Don't go, Noah" he heard the voice again."Who are you, and why won't you show yourself?" he asked, turning around."Because..." The voice trailed off, leaving the sentence unfinished.Noah's ey

Matthew nodded and stopped looking at him and Gemma put her arms around Nicholas's waist to stop him from launching any more attacks at Noah. Noah could actually remember that he used to think that this guy was cool, admirable. Now all the could see was an irritable man that was always looking for an opportunity to explode.Crane turned to Noah, " Why didn't you tell us about it?" there was doubt in her eyes and voice as she addressed him.Noah almost felt bad. "I also didn't know and when I found out..." He trailed off not knowing what to say. He sighed. It's just not the kind of thing that you want to share" he finished.The others looked understanding except Nicholas who just sneered at him. Nicholas was now standing further off to show that he wouldn't do anything but with Nicholas you still had to play safe so the others were still at alert.Gemma turned to Noah now. "Noah, you know...we aren't just your team mates, we're also your friends.""Yeah!" Crane chimed in."You hav
