Prelude to change 2.188

It had been a week since Viggo spoke to his father about his powers associated with the blood of Ymir, the first giant. In precise terms, he only devoted himself to finding objects inside the house.

It all started on the second day of experimentation, the first day was fruitless, and Viggo felt upset. So, on the second day he got up early, along with Uriel, who was crying for his food. Semiramis gave him his food and then went to the bathroom to take a shower. Viggo was left taking care of Uriel, who had his rounds resting on some headboards so she could sit and look at everything. She began to protest and Viggo began to look around, looking for toys such as wooden figurines or cloth stuffed animals, but nothing seemed right to Uriel. So, Viggo picked her up and hugged her -What do you want my love?- he asked and that's when he passed. The image of a small cloth puppet appeared in his mind. It was in a corner of the inside of the crib.

Viggo pushed Uriel away and stared at her. Then he hugged her, went to the crib, and saw that there was the cloth puppet. A rather ugly and simple toy, but that caught his attention for having a red nose. Uriel began to protest as a three-month-old baby would and Viggo took the puppet and passed it on. She stared at the puppet, babbling some things, and putting it in her mouth to drool over it.

-But isn't Uriel a fragment of this?- asked Viggo, confused, as he recalled the conversation with his father. However, he could see the association, since the doll had Uriel's saliva and in turn, it was a toy with which he had to spend many hours. This made him think two things: first, the toy was not hygienic, so as soon as Uriel released it, he would throw it away. Second, instead of being a fragment of something, it needed a connection between objects. Thanks to these discoveries, Uriel cried like never before and nothing comforted him throughout the day until he forgot the doll that Viggo threw in the rubbish and then regretted it. On the other hand, he was investigating with all kinds of elements and locating around the house, as if it were a game. His assistants were Sakura and Ana, who gathered all kinds of elements, from minerals, woods, fruits, and gadgets in pairs. Each thing had to be the same or the closest thing to its replica. For a matter of feelings, it was easy for Viggo to find them all, but Rosewisse, who also participated in the experiment, recommended that he start translating everything into numbers and theoretical knowledge that anyone could understand. It was a bit odd to refer to their powers as feelings, which made them vague.

Viggo wrote at a desk near Semiramis' bed while she took a bath and Uriel was sitting on the bed, playing with her toys. Viggo heard that Uriel began to protest something between unintelligible babblings. So, he stepped away from the desk and went to bed. For starters, she fell forward and the entire weight of her body was supported on her face while her little butt was raised. Uriel did not worry about discomfort, she only had in mind to reach for a small doll that looked like a dog, which had gone beyond the reach of her arms.

Viggo took a deep breath, took it by the hips, sat her on the bed and then handed her the dog. She took the dog and then put it in her mouth. Viggo smiled and began to stroke the baby's bald head, only covered by fine red hair. She seemed absorbed in nibbling on the dog-shaped doll, so Viggo got up, placed a pillow around her so she wouldn't fall and went back to the desk.

-Dear- said Semiramis as he came out of the bathroom -I have already vacated the bathroom, go for a bath, we must leave in an hour for the mansion of Lady Hera-

-I know, let me finish with the last thing- Viggo replied, making his last notes -lately I look like a scholar rather than a warrior-

-I don't think it's bad- said Semiramis in a suggestive voice -she opened her robe and rested her icy body on Viggo's back-

Viggo stopped the movement of his pen on the paper by the suggestive sensation of Semiramis' breasts on his back. He turned his face over and looked at her. She had a coquettish smile. Viggo got up from the chair and was going to kiss her, but she raised her index finger and put it on Viggo's lips.

-No, we said something, right?- replied Semiramis in a mocking tone, she knew that after they did last night, Viggo was still looking forward to her just like when they met or more. The fact is, she enjoyed provoking him.

-You are- said Viggo, taking a deep breath so he could calm down -a cruel woman-

Semiramis approached Viggo, hugged him by placing her breasts on her breastplate and kissed him. Then he lifted his face and kissed her on the lips. It was brief but stimulating. She could feel it in what pressed against her stomach. Semiramis was not going to give in to Viggo, but he liked that he knew that his seduction had not lost power over him. She turned her face away and said -That's better, isn't it?-

-Yes, it may be- replied Viggo, absorbed in Semiramis' face. Fascinated with her black hair, oval face, and pupils of a yellow color. Now that he thought about it, she only lacked the ears to look like a cat.

-Now go for a bath- continued Semiramis -we must go to the mansion of Lady Hera-

-I get it- Viggo replied, taking a deep breath so he could calm down. Semiramis turned around, buttoned her robe, and went to the bed where Uriel was playing with her stuffed animals. Viggo could only watch as she walked away wiggling her hips softly and hypnotically. However, a few seconds later he denied, returned to the chair, and tried to finish what he was writing before.

About nine o'clock in the morning the carriage of Semiramis left pulled by four huge white horses. The carriage was veneered in black and lustrous wood, with a golden border, so it attracted a lot of attention, especially in the blacksmith district, where they were not used to seeing that type of luxurious carriages. However, blacksmiths as good builders admired the carriage for a different reason and that was that the suspension and union of the metal parts was almost imperceptible to the eye. Something they would call a nice ending.

Inside the carriage were Uriel, Viggo, Semiramis, Scheherezade and Hitomi. Viggo was sitting on the left side of the carriage while holding Uriel and letting her look out the window. On his left side were Semiramis and Scheherezade, who were having fun watching the funny babbling that the baby made. In front was Hitomi, the red-haired elf, who carried folders and bags with minute books on the sides of her seat. She was going through some documents, but from time to time she heard Uriel's babbling, looked up from the documents and stared at her with a gentle smile on her lips.

About ten o'clock in the morning they arrived at the Hera family mansion and at the grand entrance to the mansion, Jason, Odysseus, and Achilles were waiting for them, along with two other people. These two people were none other than Alfia and Meteria. The latter had been in constant contact with Rosewisse, which led her to the mansion and to meet Uriel. Since Meteria was soon going to be a mother, she fell in love with Uriel and wanted to see her.

When the carriage stopped at the entrance, Viggo descended first, then helped Semiramis who was carrying the baby in her arms. Then under Scheherezde and finally Hitomi.

Viggo saw Hitomi trying to carry the bags with documents and minute books, but he said -Leave it there, I'll take it-

-But sir- said Hitomi, self-conscious.

-Don't worry, you help Semiramis and watch that he doesn't fall-

-Hitomi- said Semiramis from the outside -let Viggo help you-

-Yes, ma'am- Hitomi replied, she went downstairs and Viggo helped her down the steps to the cobbled floor, in front of the huge mansion of the Hera family, which more than a mansion looked like a castle. Viggo took the bags with documents and lowered them.

-Come on, Uriel, look here, I'm Uncle Jason- Jason said in a dumb voice.

-Jason, if you talk to Uriel like that, you're going to scare her- Viggo said in a mocking tone.

-Shut up, you idiot- said Jason, somewhat annoyed with Viggo -just because she's your daughter doesn't give you the right to monopolize her-

-Mistake- Viggo said with a smile brimming with confidence, she arrived in front of Jason, with blond hair and ruffled -being her father gives me the power to monopolize her, but since I'm good, I'll let you look at her-

-Idiot brat-

-Foolish old man-

-Boys- said Semiramis -no swearing-

-I'm sorry- Viggo said with a smile, approached Odysseus and Achilles, held out a bag with documents to each one and they accepted it -thank you- then Viggo moved to Semiramis, took Uriel, passed by Jason, Odysseus, and Achilles, but stopped in front of Meteria, who was waiting for Uriel on the side of the group. Alfia with her face of few friends, bitter a little to Viggo, but ignored her and brought Uriel to Meteria, the young woman with white hair and green eyes.

-Be careful, especially with your stomach- said Viggo, holding out the baby -this young lady has the tendency to kick sometimes-

-Yes- replied Meteria with a soft smile.

Viggo gave her the baby and Meteria hugged her to her chest. Uriel stared at her face, stroking her features with her small hands, and babbling some unintelligible things. Meteria was all smiles, maybe thinking her own baby was going to be just as adorable.

According to what Viggo learned from his brothers, Meteria was a support of the Hera family. She had met another Zeus family supporter, but a couple of months ago, in a raid on the dungeon, she died. Now only Meteria and the baby remained. That's why Alfia, someone who was apparently cold, was so aware of Meteria and accompanied her everywhere. To add insult to injury, Meteria had an illness, so she didn't know when it would last after the baby was born.

Hence so much consideration came from Viggo, something Alfia hated with all her heart. She didn't like compassion for her or her sister, but for her sister she would put up with these dealings.

Viggo stared at Meteria, with white hair, soft and fluffy. Kind look and soft smile with which he showed adoration of little Uriel. Viggo didn't know what she was thinking, but she didn't feel any bad feelings. Then he looked Alfia in the eye, beautiful, with silver hair falling to her hips, one eye green and one yellow. Dark clothes, with a tight waist and a pronounced neckline. Beautiful without a doubt, beautiful, but her attitude took away any charm she might have.

Viggo looked at his brothers Jason, Odysseus, and Achilles, walked up to them and said -Thank you so much for holding the bags. When we reach the stairs leading to the upper floors they can carry Uriel-

-Hey, Viggo- Jason said in an upset state -I wanted to take it first-

-Okay, Jason, you first, but remember, on the stairs. Until then, it's only from Meteria-
