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
Road to Valhalla Chapter 72: Always Right
"Hey!", I had no intention of talking to Lucy but instinctively, I was bound to reply to Prophet if he called, "What are you doing getting up?"I frowned, not wanting to, but I also made no effort to hide it."What do you want?!"We had to yell at the top of our lungs to communicate. Prophet was pretty high up, you see."What do I want?! That ain't the question, is it? Just stay down and let me make this quick!"I agreed with her wholeheartedly. That was the only logical thing to do. I wish it wasn't."Screw you!"I figured I might as well go out with a bang.I wished I wasn't alone here. I really wished that, before remembering I had Prophet, and Nasty II too. Still, if only..."I'll make this easy for you!", Lucy yelled before lugging a stray mountain at me. I had to make a run for it. She was fast but not fast enough. Huge mass needs time to be moved around after all.That's right. And as such, that planet she was creating up there, I still had time before it came down on us.I had
Road to Valhalla Chapter 73: All Falls Down
"So what's next?", I asked after a disturbing length of silence."Nothing's changed", Lucy answered, "Nothing you say changes anything."I looked at Prophet, wondering if he was thinking differently. He didn't look back at me."I suppose it doesn't", I muttered.Lucy turned back into her material form with Prophet and went back up into the sky."I wish there was a wall between us...or something", I said as I looked at her building her weapon of destruction."What did you say?!"I didn't think I'd been loud enough to be heard by her."I said I wish there was a wall between us!", I yelled back at her."Hah!", she said mockingly, "As if a wall could save you! You are not escaping me, you damned idiot! There's nowhere here where I can't reach you. Try to run if you want. I'd like to see you snivel!"I had no intention of running. There was nothing more pointless than that right now.I began to consider my options. There was no place on land which was safe. Flying wasn't an option either.
Road to Valhalla Chapter 74: Goodbye Nasty!
"~This time...I've lost my own return, in spite of...everything I've learned~"I could hear the distant song playing among the constant noise. It sounded like it was seeping from a broken radio, pushing every muscle in the poor radio to break it outside. And even though the radio was barely breathing, the song was blasting its way out of it. I could almost hear the heaving sound of the poor radio as it just barely kept up with the song.I soon became aware of the predicament I was in. I wasn't dead, for one. But things were worse than just that. I opened my eyes, which made a crisping sound, more horrible than anything you can imagine. I could tell from the rubble digging into me that the ground was shattered, there was a lot of smoke and dust and I could barely see or breath. I felt extremely light, it was almost scary. I couldn't yet feel most of my body, but I could at least tell that I was in one piece."Here?!"I heard two distinct voices, approaching me. I wasn't in the right mi
