Family and Goddess 2.178

In the afternoon, Viggo and Rosewisse met with Bishamon at the library. Semiramis converted most of the points of her agreement with Bishamon, but the latter had doubts. Above all, the fact that Viggo wanted to kill a god.

However, very different from what Bishamon thought upon hearing Semiramis' words, the story was a little different. Well, the fact that Viggo wanted to kill a god was true, but not the way Bishamon imagined it.

Bishamon was sitting in a three-body armchair with a glass table separating her from Rosewisse sitting in the armchair in front, also with three bodies. Viggo was to the left of Bishamon, sitting in a one-body, wide-backed armchair. Now he dressed as usual, naked torso, red robe that covered him from the waist to the knees and boots. On the other hand, Rosewisse wore a one-piece red dress that accentuated her figure.

-So it was that- said Bishamon more relaxed.

-Yes- replied Viggo -the truth is that with Rosewisse we were investigating the situation in Midgar and preparing to find the rest of the Valkyries. Killing the god king of that world is something that must be studied carefully. We already met one of his sons and he almost killed us both-

-Yes- Rosewisse replied, the long strands of silver that framed her face -it was a regrettable confrontation, but we hope that next time it will be in our favor-

-However- said Viggo and Bishamon stared at him -being a god, I have been told several times. Both Kiara, my father and grandpa. I don't see it as impossible either, but I really don't know how long it will take. Now, with regard to getting the divinity of another god, I don't know, I have never done it and the person who explained the process to me, told me that it does not always turn out as one wants. At least, he has never been able to retain a divine power from another god for long-

Bishamon bent her face, thought of something, and then looked at Viggo -Why doubts?- she asked

-Of what?-

-To kill that god, you already knew his son and almost killed you. You read in the murals, and you learned what he did to his enemies and those who caused him doubts. Just because I doubt anyone, I send him to kill-

-Yes, but I don't know him, and he may have killed people, but that was so long ago. I'm not from Midgar, I can't say I do this out of a sense of justice or anything like that-

-You don't kill a snake because you have some enmity or because of a feeling of justice, revenge or whatever. You only kill her because you're afraid she's going to hurt your loved ones. If you are going to keep going to Midgar, you must kill him. Otherwise, sooner or later, he will kill Rosewisse, someone you know, or yourself. As far as I can imagine, you were already identified as a threat by one of his sons. He doesn't seem to be that person who lets his prey escape-

-In that- said Viggo -you are right-

-Viggo needs to kill that god because he needs to learn from his enemy and from his own mistakes- someone said, immediately alerting Rosewisse and Bishamon. Both got up from their armchairs and looked at a beautiful woman dressed as a nun, but with a long cut that showed a long leg.

Kiara looked at them with a sneer, walked to Viggo and sat on his legs. The cut of her habit opened, and she let the leg be seen up to her thigh. Which Rosewisse and Bishamon did not like very much. Kiara was pleased with their gazes and then stuck to Viggo's chest. The latter hugged her gently and gave her a small kiss on the lips.

-I'm disappointed- Kiara said as she looked Viggo in the eye.

-Why?- asked Viggo -Why don't you kill that god? I don't even know how to get to where Odin is, let alone how to kill him-

-Not because of that- Kiara replied -I know you well enough to know that in the end you would have made it. I feel disappointed because you doubt my word, have I ever lied to you or asked you for the impossible? Anything you've regretted?-

-No, it's just that within my logic I can't find any reason to kill someone I don't know-

-What that little goddess says is true-

-Hey!- protested Bishamon upon hearing what she was called.

Kiara ignores her and continue -you don't kill snakes because you have some enmity with them. You kill them because you prevent them from killing your loved ones, what if that god finds Rosewisse in the middle of Midgar? Do you think he forgave her? And even if it were to pass for the remotest reason, he would use his magic to force her to serve him. Over time you will realize that other gods will also look at you with suspicion and will want you dead. Humans and gods may believe themselves to be too high, too intelligent, and polite, but it all comes down to basic instincts to eat or be eaten? Kill or be killed? Do not hesitate, Odin would kill you without hesitation-

-I, I understand, it's a bit difficult to assimilate- replied Viggo, looking away.

-Don't worry, you are rebuilding your character. You're not who you used to be anymore, but don't worry, that's what I'm here for-

-You want me to...-

-No, don't get me wrong- replied Kiara -I just want you to know how to fend for yourself and understand that the world is not as simple as finding a reason to fight, a reason to travel or to be happy. You are or do it to survive, happiness comes from being able to retain those little things-

-Yes, it can be-

-Go, see your daughter, sleep with your wives, think about them and imagine if any of them were in Midgar. Then think about what Thor or Odin would do to them-

-I, well, I have it-

Kiara got up from Viggo's legs and the latter got up from the couch. He gave her a little kiss; she answered it with passion. Then Viggo looked at Rosewisse and stretched out his hand. She nodded with blushing cheeks, walked to Viggo and they held hands. They both looked at Bishamon, said goodbye to her, and walked out of the library.

Kiara sat in the armchair where Viggo was and stared at Bishamon. She nodded as if she approved her for something and said -your words were right, goddess of Fortune and War. I hope you continue to advise my Viggo- she made a gesture with her hand and in the air appeared a necklace with a thin silver chain and a red stone shaped like a triangle. The necklace fell into her hand and then she stretched it out to Bishamon -from Semiramis, as agreed. Now you can choose whoever you want as a partner-

Bishamon stared at Kiara, with pale teas and features as perfect as her own, only her eyebrows were dark in color -what's that?-

-It's the way you can have a child- Kiara replied -you just must put on the necklace and do the rest of the traditional way. You can look for any man, no one will stop you. However, it only serves once, that was the deal-

-What if I choose Viggo?-

-You can do whatever you want, but things are not so simple. You must know that I am not normal and the one whom Viggo calls grandfather, is not normal either. Viggo and his father are great soul forces that are attracting other powerful souls as if they were black holes in space that swallow the stars. If you are willing to carry such an existence in your womb and raise it, fine, but if not, you better leave it. I only allowed Semiramis to summon you because I thought your influence as a goddess of war would do Viggo good, after all, he will have to take care of all this once you guys leave-

-What do you mean?-

Kiara got up from her armchair and told her -to occupy your time well, Goddess of Fortune and War-

-Are you behind everything Semiramis does?-

-No, I'm just a kind of guide, someone who has always helped her. That is why she blindly trusts my word, but she has won everything on her own merit-

-You say that, but how to believe yourself-

-Only time will tell- replied Kiara, on her way to Bishamon and held out her necklace. Bishamon stared at her, focused on the triangular-shaped red stone. She stretched out her right arm as her right hand trembled. She took the stone attached to a silver chain. She brought it to her chest, savored the moment, and raised her face to look at Kiara.

-Thank you, I will help your protégés to the best of my ability- Bishamon said.

Kiara showed a soft smile -we'll see- she said -only time will tell. For now, worry about arming your family and thinking carefully about how you are going to wear that necklace. Semiramis and I talk the rest with you Right?-

-Yes, and thanks again-

Kiara nodded and walked out of the room in the direction of the second floor.

At the same time, Viggo was walking in the company of Rosewisse. Viggo seemed gone in her thoughts as Rosweisse looked at her from the side, worried about her expression.

-Viggo- Rosewisse murmured -you don't have to feel bad; I also have my doubts. It's not just you-

-I know- replied Viggo, gesticulated a smile and looked into her eyes -it's just that he hadn't thought so. Now I feel that the problems are expanding in all directions-

Alone, just find the sense of danger, but don't make everyone your enemy. He remembers Odin, even if no one attacked him, I consider everyone his enemy and turned Midgar into an icy wasteland, lifeless or other civilizations.

-Do not make everyone my enemy- Viggo murmured -in that respect, it would be best to learn from Odin's movements. It may give me an idea of how not to be a damn-

-Yes, that's good- Rosewisse replied -in Odin's example you will find the inspiration not to become a bad person-

-Thank you Rosewisse- said Viggo, stopped and took his hands. Viggo looked into her eyes, and she blushed -with you by my side everything is a little easier-

-Fool, I'm here for you, so you must be there for me too- Rosewisse said.

-Yes, you will not be alone again, we will be together. Once the energy of the necklace is renewed, we will travel to Midgar-

-In that case I will continue to look in the scrolls that you collected to find the other temples of Odin-

-Well, we already have a starting point and if we meet Thor, we will leave him alive-

-What?!- Rosewisse scream with an expression of disbelief

Viggo let out a chuckle -quiet, it's not something it will be forever. We will torment you until you can no longer sleep at night. We will give you back everything you have done. Bishamon and Kiara said you kill snakes, but snakes are animals without reasoning. A god or a human has it and the one who rejoices in the agony of others, deserves a terrible end-

-That, I don't know if it's right-

Viggo let out a sigh and said -you are right, as my teacher says, you must find the balance. If we torture that fool, as much as he deserves it, we will not be better than him-

-Of course- Rosewisse replied with a broad smile -we must be better-

-Yes, you're right. My teacher once said it, don't apologize, get better-
