Road to Valhalla Chapter 64: Kill Me
"Be careful not to overdue your stay, you can always try again. Remember to remember that, alright?", Benoit bid us farewell as we headed into a huge chamber that was previously locked. He then led us closer to a huge and dark iron door that was chained to keep it shut."Beyond this point I can't help you much. Try to make it back in one piece", he instructed us.I kept forgetting to ask what we were supposed to do down there. In any case, since Prophet was ready, I agreed to follow his lead if things went downhill.We were given a few minutes to prepare before the door was unlocked and the charms removed for safe passage.Benoit left the chamber as we stood in front of the dark door that was leading to the underworld."Are you ready, Prophet?", I turned his way, only to find a shivering Prophet, sweating head to toe."Y-yes...", he muttered.That wasn't encouraging but regardless we weren't going back. The dark door began to open slowly. Something began to ooze out of it and surroun
Road to Valhalla Chapter 65: Never.
I can't remember how many years we wandered in that hell. We never slept, never ate, never drank anything. Knowing there was no death awaiting in this place, there was nothing to struggle for. Once in awhile, we'll come across something that looked bearable on the stomach and then we'd split it. But things like that were rather small and scarce, usually the carcass of a small animal, and a demonic animal at that. We'd cook it and share it between us. That would amount to one bite in months, and then we'd just move on from there.We encountered countless monsters and if this place wasn't what it was, we'd be dead a million times over by now. We had now grown used to things like that now though. We knew the right places, the right time to pass, to fight, to run. We were getting used to everything down there. We weren't aging, that's the only thing that wasn't happening down there. As the time passed, I felt like my skin was turning to the same rock that the whole place was made of. But
Road to Valhalla Chapter 66: Nasty The Second
"So you're awake? I figured it'd be any day now", he was leaning on me as I opened my eyes.What was this place? What was happening? What was I doing? My eyes felt so heavy."Do you remember anything? Your name is Seraph, do you know who I am?""Prophet", I answered almost instinctively."Good, seems you aren't completely lost", he replied before getting up.It took me a while to come back to my senses but Prophet helped me remember everything so I was fine."It would have been impossible to recover you if he hadn't spotted you", Prophet pointed to the little demon hopping about. It was a short, red, bouncy fur ball with big round eyes and small horns on its head. It had a big mouth and a thin tail. "Nasty...the second", I said.I remembered that we'd met this little guy at some point in our journey. Unlike all the rest of the demons we'd known, this one was incredibly friendly. For that reason, he didn't make it with the rest of them. For us, he was a blessing. His saliva had regen
Road to Valhalla Chapter 67: Lucy
"Did you get into a fight?", the woman leaned down to check his wounds, "Again?!""Err...I...Mum...""Just stay where you are, I'm so sick of you", she went back in, leaving the little boy teary-eyed.He was clutching his muddy shirt, suppressing his voice, not to make a noise. Eventually the woman appeared, holding a box in her hand which she set down as she sat next to it."Come here", she grabbed the boy, "Why do you have to get in trouble all the time? You are always beat up like this, can't you understand how much of a bother that is? You need to learn to fend for yourself."She went on and on as she patched him up, "Goodness, how old are you already?! Do you think you can just hold someone's hand and go on? Grow up already, I get so tired, you have no idea. Why are you so weak?"Soon he was cleaned up, bandaged and in fresh new clothes."I...don't know...", he mumbled."What?""I...err...don't know...why I'm...um...I'm..."She sighed, "What am I going to do with you?"The woman
Road to Valhalla Chapter 68: Praying for a Name
"What are you doing in here?", Ausirne asked as she opened the cupboard."I'm playing", the little one laughed."By yourself?", she smiled."No, with Lucy", he answered.Ausirne sighed, a concern rose on her face."Mum, do you not like Lucy? She's really nice though.""Aren't the boys nice to you too now? They don't beat you anymore, do they?", Ausirne pulled him out of the cupboard, "Didn't I tell you to pray whenever Lucy talks to you?""But I...I like Lucy. She can be a little rude sometimes...but she always helps me. I don't want to play with others...I just don't.""Right, now let's pray and go to bed, alright?"Ausirne put her hands together with him and the mother and son prayed together. She then tucked him in bed and left his room."She hates me, I told you.""No, Lucy, she doesn't hate you!""Oh, yer just a kid. Can't you tell? Say...can't you tell?"He said nothing. Suddenly everything around him was going dark, a dark mush was drowning him. "Can't you tell?"The distant v
Road to Valhalla Chapter 69: To Live or To Let Live
"If Lucifer doesn't want to go back, maybe he could just send the demons off and then come back to you, Prophet", I propose as we marched inside the castle."Impossible. Once I leave, there's no coming back", Lucy barely let Prophet speak anymore."Then...couldn't you just tell the demons to go away...there's gotta be a way, right?"She laughed."Yer like a kid!", she was all over Prophet...literally. He didn't seem to be bothered by it though."Well, I'm not saying anything", I retracted all my opinions, if it meant talking to her."Lucy, I think he's just trying to help", Prophet finally decided to step in, "Seraph, hell isn't close by, it could take an unending amount of time to lead all these demons back. That's why Lucy doesn't like her job. You can imagine just how boring things must get, doing the same thing over and over again."I nodded, uninterestingly. I was a lot more interested in the castle that we had just walked in. I had become used to the harsh environment in this he
Road to Valhalla Chapter 70: The Day We Met
"We've never failed our clients", is what Lady told me once, when I was still fresh."There really is no way to find out we exist except when we let people know. Occasionally, we give people the chance to contact...someone. There's never a guarantee we'll show up but people do it anyway. There are times when the people that seek to hire us have that...mettle. In that case, we are obliged to hear their story. Naturally, no one knows any details about us.""Well, my father said that-""You're gonna have to forget everything he ever said."I was taken aback. The look she gave me back then chilled me to my core. I suppose if there ever was a time when I considered running away, it was then. I should have taken that chance and yet, I know there was no way that would have been possible. Ever since the moment my father told me about this opportunity in the capital, I was bound to the Valkyries."In here, we are all dead people. If you don't want things to get harder on you, you need to forge
Road to Valhalla Chapter 71: Remember Me
"Remember me."Ah, that's right. I thought she said nothing this time around, but really she did. I wonder why I forgot about it till now. That day when Prophet and I left, she was standing outside alone. She was looking into the distance like she always did, thinking or perhaps reliving some distant memory. I observed her back from the distance like always. Then, as if feeling my gaze on herself, she turned her head slightly my way and returned the gaze with such cold and barren eyes. At times like this, I always had the feeling she was looking into the future. She watched us leave and just before we disappeared from her sight, she mouthed these two words to me. I cannot curse myself enough for having forgotten that all this time. It might have been too late to remember this now, under different circumstances. Fortunately, we were in the underworld. Ironic as it may sound, for a dying man like me, there was nothing better than that.The reason Lucy has the capability of killing me
