Return of the half-blood Chapter 18
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

"Noah! get the dishes ready, it's almost time for dinner!"Head Maid seemed even more strung up than usual. "The master will be down for dinner soon and the food has to be served. We'll be in huge trouble if the food isn't served by then." She added."Lazy slug, Work faster!" She yelled again.The boy named Noah worked harder to try as much as possible to finish his work but with the head Maid hovering over him, he found it difficult to concentrate.Dinner time had moved to an earlier time today leaving the entire kitchen a mess. All the workers were panicking and rushing to get the seven course meal ready because the gods forbid that they left their masters waiting. He could understand their train of thought. In this world where they had to rely on their masters protection to survive, they had to work hard to please them and treat them like they were the center of the universe because there were tons of people hoping to take their place.The world wasn't always like this. Noah had

"Your precious son raped my sister!" Noah said angrily.Master Bernard blinked his wolfish eyes. He seemed amused. "Is that why you're disturbing my work?" he asked playfully.Noah could not believe his ears.This man was making fun of the situation. This made him even angrier and his muscles tensed as he fought the urge to charge at the master."You should be happy that my son fancied your sister." It's her honour to serve our noble bloodline. Noah clenched his fists as his teeth clattered in rage, while Lilian tried her best to hold him back. "It's okay, it's okay" she recited as though it was a mantra. Noah wasn't sure if she was telling him or if she was trying to convince herself."Please let's just leave..." Her voice cracked as she said the words. Something about her tone made Noah to calm down."If you have nothing to say then leave my office. You should be punished for bringing this kind of trivial issue before me. the servants these days are so bold." Master Bernard said.

He ran towards the direction of the voice and there laid his sister on the floor. She looked terrible. Her face was bruised and her dirty clothes were drenched in blood. He almost didn't recognize his own sister and tried to control his tears as he fell to his knees and held her in his arms. She smiled at him weakly with her bruised face and thanked him for always having her back because even though she was just his half sister, he cared greatly for her and always protected her as though she had always been a part of his life. They only had the same mother, but different fathers. Noah's father had died years ago, so Noah's mother remarried. She had Lillian after her second marriage."P-Please, Noah. Promise me you're going to try your best to stay alive," she stuttered weakly."Come on, Li. We're both going to stay alive" he replied with a broken expression."No, brother. My time is up and..." She replied weakly."No! Lillian please, he cut in. You can't leave me" His voice broke as

Noah took to his heels as the monsters chased after him. He didn't want to end up like that person they were just feeding on. Besides, he still had to avenge his sister's death, so he kept running even though it felt as if the mobsters were already catching up with him. He couldn't see very clearly because of the fog and didn't notice the log on the floor and ended up tripping on it. He hit his head hard on a nearby stone as he landed on the floor.He lay on the floor as he felt dizzy and watched as the monsters caught up with himHe held his head as he groaned in pain. He was already feeling very dizzy by now and could not continue running again. He saw the monsters staring curiously at him as he felt his eyes close and finally gave in to the darkness.**********************Noah let out a groan as he sat up. He opened his eyes and saw a strange girl around his age sitting next to him. He had no idea who this person was and was startled, so he instinctively threw a punch immediately

Noah and Gemma continued their journey in silence. They'd been traveling for hours and were already getting tired. Gemma slowed down and relaxed."We're almost there." She said excitedly. "It's mostly safe here since it's so close to camp. It's been so long, I really miss my bed...a lot..and maybe a bath would be nice too. Speaking of which, you really need to take a bath. You stink really bad." She added. The closer they got, the more talkative Gemma became.They gradually moved further away from the city while avoiding the monsters. "We're here!" She finally said."Where's here?" Noah asked. He looked around but couldn't see anything special. They were in front of an old farm. The farm was protected by a tall brick fence. "This is the camp?" He asked again. Gemma glanced at him again. "Does your brain still hurt?" She asked sweetly. Come on in. The both of them went around the fence till they came across a thick iron gate that was covered in rust. Gemma paused in front of the

"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

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

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

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

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'

Uma's eyes widened in horror as she watched from where she was. Odin's face descended, his presence drawing closer to the still form in his hands like a dark cloud enveloping the moon. The air grew thick with an unnatural silence. The moment seemed to suspend, time itself bending to accommodate the horror that was to come. And then, Ulma saw it - the unbearable truth: the man she loved was not who she thought he was. The sound of his contented sigh, the gleam in his eye, and the bloodstained smile that spread across his face all whispered a terrifying truth: she was bound to a monster.She felt a creeping sense of dread, and knew she had to escape, for in that moment, she feared for her very soul and that of her child's. Tears began to roll down her cheeks as she watched in horror, her heart racing with a mix of fear and disbelief. She was terrified and couldn't believe her eyes - her own Odin, the man she loved and trusted, doing something this terrible like a monster. She wondered
