War and Fortune 2.257

In Scheherezade's room, on the third floor of the mansion and at three o'clock in the morning, his son was born. He had fair skin and red hair. He was a demi-god like Uriel and Viggo.

At four o'clock in the morning Scheherezade fell while the baby slept next to her and Viggo's aunts took care of her. The doctor and midwives had left. Everyone had said that Scheherezade had an enviable physical constitution and that only bad luck would make her sick.

The door was knocked on a couple of times and Mikoto dressed in a kimono on her way to the door. She opened it and, in the corridor, she saw Viggo, Kiara, Xiao, and a person she didn't know.

—Viggo— Mikoto said in a respectful tone of voice —Scheherezade is exhausted, and the baby is asleep. I don't think it's good for you to introduce it to others, let alone people outside the family—

—I know, auntie— Viggo said —but Grandpa and Kiara are special. The same goes for the blond guy who comes after me. We need to see the child—

—Doomo, doomo— Kisuke said, taking off his hat in a cheerful tone while smiling. Kiara and Xiao looked back at him, and he stopped smiling because they looked at him angrily.

Mikoto looked at Viggo and the rest of the primordials. Of course, she didn't know who they were, so their claims to importance mattered less to them than anything. However, since Viggo owned the house and requested things in a good way, she nodded. She stepped back and opened the door completely for them to come in.

—Just a few minutes, Scheherezade is tired— Mikoto insisted.

Viggo nodded, walked in, and was closely followed by Kiara, Xiao and Kisuke. They stopped two meters from the bed and waited for Mikoto to approach Scheherezade and notify her of the visits.

At the same time, Kiara made her way to Scheherezade and stood by Mikoto's side. Seeing Scheherezade open her eyes, Kiara looked at the dark skin, green eyes with a languid look, and thick lips. Scheherezade was still as beautiful and captivating as ever, but the expression on her face was one of weariness.

—Kiara— said Scheherezade upon seeing her.

—Congratulations, Scheherezade— Kiara said with a satisfied smile —I see you keep running as fast as you can to achieve your happiness—

—Yes— Scheherezade said with a broad smile, looked to his side, and saw the little boy wrapped in swaddling clothes —Me and Viggo did him—

—Yes, he's wonderful— Kiara added —Do I bother you a little?—

—Yes?— asked Scheherezade, looking at her again.

—You see, I need to see your child for a moment—

—Are he sick?— asked Scheherezade as the smile on her face faded and her eyes filled with tears.

—No, not at all, he is like Viggo and Uriel, a demigod. I just want to see his skills, that's all. Also, are you worried that he is sick? Remember who brought you here?—

—No, I don't forget— said Scheherezade with a sigh, she laid her head on the bedside and added —You were the one who helped us all this time. You who introduced us to Viggo. You who helped us get to this moment—

—That's right— Kiara replied —I wouldn't let you suffer, don't worry, I won't abandon you until the day you leave this world—

—Thank you, Kiara— said Scheherezade, raised her hand and Kiara took it. Both looked into each other's eyes with complicity. Scheherezade's gaze was a mixture of gratitude and assurance.

Kiara moved to the other side of the bed and approached the little redhead in swaddling clothes. She carefully picked it up and held it in her arms. Then walk to where Viggo, Xiao and Kisuke were.

—Happy?— asked Kiara.

—Yes— Viggo replied —I had already seen it after he was bathed, but I still think it's perfect—

Kiara smiled and shook her head. Then she looked at Kisuke, that blond guy was wearing a white hat and green stripes even though he was inside the house —is that the person you were looking for?— she asked.

Kisuke took off his hat revealing flattened hair that reached his chin —of course he's the person I was looking for. Solomon could only have been born to someone like Viggo, who was born a demigod and acquired the blood of the first existence of a world like Ymir. His divinity is small, almost minuscule, but his soul is powerful— Kisuke looked at Viggo and asked —Are you ready to raise the man who was the wisest in the world and who was spoken of until the end of time?—

Viggo looked at the primordial, heard his heartbeat in his ear, and thought about it for a few seconds. He closed his eyes and calmed down as when meditating. He left the distressing future and focused on the present. Who was Solomon right now? He was his son; it was the only thing that mattered. However, Viggo thought he would have to skip Semiramis' request. We had to grow and find balance. That required time that he didn't have right now.

—I will be able to raise him— said Viggo —I will be wiser than him and teach him things that scholars and wise could never attain. Don't worry, I'm Viggo, my name is War, but also Fire. I will shine like the sun and that will nourish my children so that they grow strong, wise, but, above all, loved—

—Yoroshiku onegai shimasu— Kisuke replied with a broad smile.

—That, that...— Viggo said, thinking about what it meant.

—Viggo, it answers— said Mikoto —dou itashimashite, and bowed down in a pronounced bow—

Viggo looked at his aunt Mikoto, originally from the Far East. He imitated her and repeated —dou itashimashite—

Mikoto rejoined and looked at Viggo and the primordials —have you looked at the boy yet?— she asked.

—Yes, aunt— Viggo replied, looked at Kiara, she handed the baby to him and Viggo stared at him for a few seconds —you see, this world is full of surprises and Dad will teach you many things—

Viggo then handed the baby to Mikoto, who bowed his head in a gesture of courtesy and then took the baby to Scheherezade who watched from the bed, somewhat worried about what Viggo and the others might decide.

Viggo walked to the edge of the bed, where Scheherezade was. He sat on the edge and looked at her lying down, somewhat messy black hair, brown skin, green eyes, and thick lips —you did very well, thank you very much, I'm very happy— he said.

—Me too, Viggo— replied Scheherezade, offering her lips. Viggo bent down and gave her a slow, heated kiss. At the same time, Mikoto coughed and interrupted them. Viggo and Scheherezade separated and stared at each other for a few seconds. Viggo gave her one last kiss on the forehead, took out the bottle with estus and took a glass that was on the nightstand. He poured the estus into the glass and held it out to Scheherezade.

—Drink— said Viggo —it will do you good—

Scheherezade received the glass, drank the liquid that emitted a golden glow, and then breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't say she was fully recovered but was better.

Viggo got up and said —I'm leaving, I'll be back in a few more hours. Maybe with dad and the others—

Scheherezade nodded and raised her face as if offering her lips. Viggo bent down to give her one last kiss and walked away from the bed. He took the primordials and took them out of the room. They walked to the middle of the mansion where the big white dome was. On the floor was a huge carpet, a large square table of short stature and cushions of vivid color. They sat around the table.

—What are your plans?— asked Kisuke sitting across from Viggo. On the left was Xiao and on the right Kiara.

—For now— said Viggo —in two months I must go back to Midgar and learn all I can from Odin. That involves their movements and the reasons behind them. Learn what Ivaldi learned in the kingdom of Niflheim. Beat the Valkyries and other additional. Once we achieve Rosewisse's goal, I will send a request to Odin through his son. I want to know him, listen to him, and learn from him. If I study what he did, I will be able to see where his mistakes are and not fall for them. After that I return, continue training, studying, developing my divinities, and becoming king of the gods. Expand...—

Kisuke, Xiao and Kiara smiled as they heard Viggo so focused and clear on what he should do. Kisuke because he predicted a correct growth for Solomon, his protégé. Xiao and Kiara were happy to know that the advice and help they had given him was paying off. However, within their hearts there was still the doubt: Will Viggo be prepared for when the terrible day comes?

It was about seven o'clock in the morning and Viggo's wives got up. Many of them passed by and went to see Scheherezade, but the vision of Viggo with the three primordials did not go unnoticed.

Viggo looked at the three primordials, rested his hands on the table, and stood up from his cushion. The rest of the primordials did the same and the four stared for a few seconds.

—I have a gift— Kisuke said.

Xiao and Kiara looked at him suspiciously, but Kisuke raised his hands in surrender and stepped back.

—Don't worry, it's not bad. Just a gift of goodwill— Kisuke said —the kind you have advised Viggo, but without having to move and maybe a little more useful—

—Show us first— Kiara and Xiao said as they folded their arms and continued to look at Kisuke suspiciously.

Kisuke breathed a sigh of tiredness, looked at Viggo, and made a gesture with his left hand. The next instant a throne appeared next to Viggo. This throne was made of white marble, with two armrests and a long backrest three meters high.

Viggo turned around and stretched out his hand to the smooth surface. The throne had no joints anywhere, thus giving the impression of having been made of a single piece of marble.

—Sit down— Kisuke said.

Viggo looked at Kisuke, who was smiling and whose eyes were hidden under his hat. Then he looked at Kiara and Xiao, both frowning, but nodded. Viggo once again looked at the white throne, passing his hand over the smooth and cold surface. He walked his way to stand in front of the throne, rested his hands on his armrests, and sat down as he saw Xiao and Kiara looking at him seriously. Inside, Viggo wondered what was serious about this throne. However, when he rested his back on the backrest and was completely seated, he knew the truth.

Everything around him was filled with the darkness of the night sky and the beauty of the stars. He was standing, looking around, but there was nothing. Then Viggo knew that this was not a normal gift, after all, it came from a primordial.

—Viggo— Kiara said and appeared within the space like the night sky. After her, Xiao appeared, and finally Kisuke.

—How are you?— asked Kisuke.

—Yes, very nice— said Viggo —it can be an amazing place to meditate—

Kisuke raised an eyebrow and stared at him like an idiot. Then he pulled out his paper fan, opened it, and the wind went down —well— he said with a broad smile —this just means it was the perfect gift for the perfect person—

Viggo didn't understand, but looking at Xiao and Kiara covering their faces as if they were embarrassed by his words, he understood that his words were not very accurate.

—Let me show you, Viggo Dragonroad— Kisuke said with a big smile that faded a few seconds later and only a serious face remained, although thanks to the white hat with green stripes, his eyes were not visible. Kisuke snapped his left hand, and everyone was transported to the house where the Bishamon family lived.
