- Chapter 00: The Ragnarok -

"We have arrived, Lord Odin" the warriors knelt and bowed to him.

"Ah, Captain Silas. It's a pleasure to have you here in my Kingdom" the War God stood up from his throne and went down to get closer to the hunter-warrior leader, Silas.

"With all due respect milord, may I ask the reason why you called for us?" he asked.

"I understand your confusion about my sudden call, but things will be explained once the other leaders are here" Silas bowed again. "I understand milord"

"You must be tired from your journey, why don't you rest first, Captain? I have prepared your quarters for your stay in here" the war God, Odin, smiled and so did the warrior leader.

"It would be inappropriate to refuse your word milord. Then, we shall take a rest at the quarters you have prepared. We are truly grateful."

After his words of gratitude, the young captain led his men and ordered them to take a rest at the quarters of the Kingdom. His men immediately fell asleep but he didn't. He was still curious why they were summoned to Asgard- by the War God himself.

'Will there be a war?' he asked himself. Before coming to Asgard, he prepared his men after he has read the letter. He is a leader of the hunter warriors who came from the far west just to attend the King's invitation. They are hunters who have strong senses which they use to fight against their enemies.

He sighed as he began to worry about the true reason behind the King's invitation but his tiredness began to kick in- which made him fall asleep.

The young captain woke up from the sound of the horn. He woke his men up and they proceeded to the main hall where the King is located. "Captain Silas, meet Captain Nero from the far east, Captain or Alpha Sage from the south, and Captain Lucian from the coldest part of the North" Silas went closer and greeted them with respect.

"Greetings Captains, I am Captain Silas from the west. It is a pleasure to meet you" he said as he shook hands to all three of them. "Indeed, a pleasure" the werewolves warrior leader, Captain Sage, said.

The night has fallen deeper and King Odin ordered the kingdom's cooks to cook for their dinner. While the food is being served, King Odin cleared his throat. "As we are all gathered, I will be revealing the reason why I called you" he started.

All attention was on him so he continued. "The real reason is Loki" they all became serious as the King mentioned Loki's name. Everyone knew him, whether it be elves, giants, monsters, etc., They know him for being evil and rebellious. They know what he's capable of and that whatever he has in mind, it's nothing good.

"I saw in my seer ability that Loki and his sons will be causing a deadly war in no more than 10 days and 10 nights. I still have no assurance that this will happen but I have summoned you to help me prevent it for as early as possible. If it does happen, we should be prepared" he added. They all nodded and that's the exactly when the food was served.

They ate in silence until Nero talked. "Milord, is it really possible for his sons to escape from prison? They had been in dungeon for a long time and still haven't been able to escape" he said.

"I am not sure on how to answer your question Captain Nero. The information I have from my vision lacks too much- including the reason why and how they escaped. The dungeon is indeed well-guarded but let's not let our guards down" he replied and sighed.

"

After the meal, each captains proceeded to have a meeting with their fellow warriors who have just also finished eating.

They started to make a strategy to help prevent the premonition of the King. Captain Nero and Captain Lucian already started their training with their fellow men and are getting ready for battle.

"I repeat, if a war really breaks out, we will fight and if we die, we die with honour. Loki and his sons, the Midgard serpent and the Giant wolf Fenrir, are formidable enemies so we should really prepare ourselves for battle, do you understand?" Captain Silas said. "It is well understood Captain!" his fellow warriors replied with a determined yell.

Suddenly, Captain Lucian felt the longevity of the winter as he is from the North and he is a Winter mage warrior as well. He stopped from his tracks and felt a shiver down his spine.

He looked from afar and the werewolves who stood guard began howling which alerted everyone.

"THEY'RE HERE!!" one of the soldiers yelled and the horn got blown as a signal for battle. Soldiers of the castle stood in position and they also brought out the weapons they have stored and reserved for wars and battles.

"My fellow warriors, be prepared"

King Odin brought out his staff and wore his armour. His sons, Thor and Vidar came and stood beside their father.

Silence filled the Kingdom but a scream echoed when Fenrir ate a soldier behind the tall walls of the Kingdom. Most of them were covered in fear but still, they had the courage to fight.

The kingdom door slammed open and blood were seen every where as Fenrir and Jormungandr ate and killed all of the kingdom soldiers who stood guard outside.

"It's been a while, King Odin" Loki said as he walked in. Silas aimed his bow to Loki and didn't even blink once.

"Loki, I will make sure that this will be your last evil work!" the King yelled. "That's where you're mistaken King Odin. This is only the beginning..." monsters arose and Loki had an evil wide grin on his face.
