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'
The next morning, Ulma didn't want to leave her house at all however, she had a few errands to run and she had promised the local fish vendor to help him man his store today in exchange for some extra cash and free fish. Her life since coming to this town had been more difficult than with Odin, She missed the luxurious life but absolutely didn't want the baggage that it came with. She'd rather live this simple life than stay with that monster.She got prepared and started to leave the house. She looked outside the house and saw that the weather was rather dark. The windowsill was dusty, the flaky rough feeling on her hands alerted her of that."I need to clean up this house and get an umbrella," she muttered to herself.She took her worn out umbrella and left the house. The outside of the house was very windy, she tightened her jacket around herself and shivered from the cold. She went off to the fish market shivering the whole way. Ulma hated the smell of the fish market. Raw fish s
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
Odin suddenly stopped speaking. The silence was rather unsettling and Noah who had been listening intently suddenly came back to his senses. Odin grinned showing sharp teeth, his features still warped. It was obvious that he didn't care enough to disguise himself as human anymore. "Of course, I found out about that much later through another spell but if I had known what was going on, then of course I wouldn't have allowed it to continue.Then they got married and had a child and lived almost happily ever after." Odin felt angry just thinking about it. His lovely wife getting married to someone else and starting a family with them. As his anger simmered, Odin's gaze turned to Noah, his eyes narrowing into sinister slits. "So my question to you is, will you come back with me and take your rightful place as crown prince, reunite our family?" Noah knew for certain from his story that Odin was crazy and delusional but at the same time, this person understood what he was going through
"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
Noah sighed, closing his eyes as the warm sunlight danced across his face. "Here goes nothing," he muttered under his breath, the sound barely audible over the gentle lapping of the emerald river's waters against the shore.Just as he was about to jump, a familiar voice stopped him, echoing through the serene atmosphere."Don't listen to that voice, Noah."Noah turned to see Matthew standing behind him, his brow furrowed with concern. The scent of damp earth and leaves emitted from Matthew's clothes."Matthew, when did you...?" Noah started, but Matthew cut him off, his voice firm."Don't listen, Noah. Step away from the water's edge.""No, Matt, this voice can help us," Noah said, walking towards Matthew, the soft grass beneath his feet."Do you know what that entity is?" Matthew asked patiently, his eyes locked onto Noah's.Noah nodded, his heart racing. "It's the Spirit of the Emerald Depths. It wants to help us."Matthew shook his head, his expression grim. "That's not its true
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
Night soon fell, the forest was dark, the moon was nowhere to be seen. Noah, Crane and Nicholas went to make sure that the area was clear. They encountered two monsters together, Nicholas rushed towards the first monster and sliced through it with a wind blade while Crane played with the other one. She looked like she was just trying to keep it busy. When Nicholas had killed the second monster, Crane withdrew and pushed the spectating Noah towards the monster."Come on newbie, he's all yours"Crane and Nicholas watched as the the monster roared and charged at Noah who was suddenly on its radar. Noah dodged shakily and almost got scratched."You can do it! we believe in you." Crane shouted like a cheerleader. Noah tried to concentrate on his powers as he struggled to escape the monster that was charging at him. He tried to focus on the feeling that would overcome him just before he turned but it kept slipping. However, he did grow stronger and faster from his attempts. The monster was
