Chapter 125 A Dream

" Where am I?" Ragnar asked himself, as he stood up. He felt a headache forming. But ignored it for the moment.

" Who could do this to me?" He asked out loud, generally confused.

Ragnar walked forward, not wanting to stand still.

The dark room, slowly morphed, as he walked. Denying the laws of reality. A new environment was quickly being made and he saw something interesting.

A big man with light skin and white hair. His eyes blue as the sky. He wore a white like dress, with specks of gold and a pure gold belt. The dress had several stripes of gold, going up and down on the dress.

In the mans right hand was a yellow lightning bolt. He was in a throwing position, presumably about to throw it at someone. But Ragnar couldn't see what, or who. Seconds after, things changed again. This time he saw the man again. But, he was not like before. His white dress was torn and a like liquid covered his body. He seemed tired and injured. At the end of his life. His mouth opened, saying some words. But Ragnar couldn't hear what he said. He could only guess from the lip movement. "Why?" He thought the man said, to whom, he did not know.

All of a sudden a golden spear pierced his throat and darkness took over again and a new vision was shown.

A women with brown hair and green, grey and blue eyes. In her left hand was a golden shield, with the image of a head, with snakes as hair. In her right hand, she held a golden spear.

She fought for her life, killing and killing. She was drenched in red blood, not hers of course. But some cold was mixed into the red, but it was still not hers. Next to her, laid a owl. The life in it's eyes were gone and it was missing both of it's wings.

The women cried tears, which flowed into the blood and mixed. A unclenching rage streamed out from her eyes, together with the tears. Showing her unyielding spirit and drive for revenge.

Ragnar saw her fight for hours, killing different creatures, that he couldn't see. All he could see was the women and the owl, that was still next to her. Despite her situation, she hadn't taken a step, refusing to abandon the owl on the ground.

But even through her resolve, she was getting tired. She couldn't go on for long. But she never got help and in the end, one of her knees craved in and she fell. Supporting her self in a kneeling position, she still fought of the enemy.

Sadly, even that shortly ended, as an ax fell down on her back. Sending the women into shock. Giving all others, invisible to Ragnar an opportunity to attack. Several weapons pierced her, from all directions at the same time and she cried out in pain and rage, one last time.

Despite her death, they continued to attack her and one of the enemy's became visible, to him. It was a small boy. He continuously kicked her, over and over again. While his comrades left him. That's what Ragnar thought they did at least. He couldn't tell. All he knew was that he was the only one attacking her dead body.

The kid screamed and cried blood, while kicking the dead body. Until someone dragged the kid away. As he tried to fight back.

Ragnar silently watched, knowing he could nothing to change anyones fate. He knew he saw the past, that he was inside an illusion. This wasn't his first time, after all.

Once more the scene changed and a cave appeared in front of him. The cave was completely dark, with not a single speck of light. He felt like he was being watched by the cave, so he walked towards it. A dark mist flowed out of the cave, making the area around, almost as dark and ominous. Just as he was about to enter the cave, pure white eyes met with his and an overwhelming fear took over him.

" Haugh." Ragnar said, as he jumped out of bed, scaring Alice. Sweat dripped from his forehead hitting the floor as he was hyperventilating.

" Ragnar, is everything okey?" Alice asked, as she got out of bed.

At the question, Ragnar took some seconds to breath before saying. " Yeah, sorry for scaring you!" Trying to calm her down.

" Obviously not, tell me what happened!" She insisted, looking at Ragnar with care and worry.

" I just had a bad dream, that's all!" Ragnar insisted.

" We both don't dream Ragnar and if we do, we control them. Don't try to fool me!" She said, with a sharp tone.

" If you want the truth, it's that I don't know, okey. The best way to explain it is a bad dream. Don't worry about it, please." Ragnar said, hopping to speak no further of the matter. As his mind was filled with millions of thoughts and questions. That he already knew Alice did not know the answers to.

" Fine, but I'm here if you need me!" Alice said, as she got back into bed. Looking at Ragnar, signaling him to get back in bed.

Ragnar sighted inwardly and got into bed with her and closed his eyes. Thinking about what just happened.

~Pov Sausage man~ (Third person)

Naked, the man showed his pride to the world and the fish took the bait. Snatching at it, hoping to rip it of, while the man jumped and dodged for his life.

" What did you do to our sister?" One of the winged women screamed, as she launched at the man.

" You are more talkative than the others. Mind telling me why you are attacking me?" The man asked, as he evaded the women's attempt to decapitate him.

" Others? Did you kill more then one?" She asked, enraged. The others reacted to her statements and launched at the man together.

With no way to dodge, he chose to just deal damage and went for the closest women, punching her in the face, as he got skewered by several talons.

The women he punched, got her jaw fractured. She screamed out in pain, as she fell on the ground.

The other four rushed to her aid and helped her up. They asked if she was okey and tried to fix her jaw. While this was happening, the man got up again and said.

" You never answered the question! Why are you attacking me? I did nothing wrong! But you all just keep coming, killing me, over and over again!" He screamed, clearly tired at dying such way.

" Damn you, look at what you did to my sister, you hooligan!" One of them screamed, as she attacked him,

The man caught her left hand and deflected the other, while kicking her two bird like legs. Making the women fall on the ground. The women screamed out in pain, feeling her legs break.

The man kicked her neck, just hard enough to knock her out and not kill her.

" See, I even spared her, to show my good will. Now tell me, or I will kill her, then I will kill all of you. No matter how many times I have to die, to do so!" He said calmly, as he lifted his foot above the unconscious women. To show he was serous about killing her, if he did not get what he wanted.

This made the women stop their advance and stand still. Waiting for one of them to tell him.

" Fine, what do you want me to tell you?" One of them said, while crossing her arms. Seeming irritated by the situation.

" Why is your so called sisters attacking me. I'm just here, alive. Is that a crime to you?" The man asked, frustrated with their behavior.

" You're in our territory!" She said, seeming upset, just by mentioning it.

" What makes this your territory?" The man said, angry with her claims.

" Our mother and her best friend's grave is here. We are simply protecting it, from everyone who dares to harm it!" She said with resolve.

" Good, you want me to be here, just as much as I want to be here. So instead of attacking me and attempting to kill me over and over again. When I will just come back and kill all off you in the end. You can help me instead? It will benefit you, your sisters and me! So why not?" The man said, as he tried to negotiate with the crazy women.

" You killed my sisters, why would I help you, why would we help you?" She asked me.

" Because you don't have much of a choice, if you want to get rid of me, that is!" He said, while resting his leg next to the unconscious women. To show his good will to them.

" Fine, we'll help you get out of here. But don't get any funny ideas! Got it?"

" That's all I wanted!" He said, while smiling at them.

" Good, we will have to pass the graves to get out of here, so don't get any funny ideas!" She said, as she started to walk.

The man quickly noticed they were creatures of few words. They didn't say a word to him, or to each other under the walk.

They walked for hours, without stopping. But the man stopped out of nowhere, alerting the women. The reason why they got alerted was because he stopped next to a grave.

He looked at the grave and saw a worn out shield. With a head in the middle of it.

" Aegis!" The man said, as a lonely tear crept down his face, falling on the ground.

" How do you know the name of that shield?" The women said, getting ready to fight to death, with the man.

But the man didn't answer.

A heat, that would burn anything. Yet a hammer stuck every second. A lone being, next to the flame, struck down on a heavenly metal over and over again. It slowly took shape of a shield, within the course of days.

The giant being wiped some sweat of his forehead, as he exclaimed.

" Finally you're done! Your name will be Aegis, you will be a gift for father!" The giant being said, as it laid down it's next to the forge.

" Are you sure? Your father already has the lightning bolt. Does he need more?" A giant monster like creature said. It was bluish, with a hint of grey, with only one eye. With it, was several others. All of them had helped to forge the shield, the giant being was so proud of.

" Yes, if he thinks someone else deserves it, may he give it to them!"

" Very well then Hephaestus. Your father shall het the shield then." Several bluish one eyed creatures said to him

" Hephaestus!" The man said out loud. Making all the women stop their attempt to attack.

" What did you say?" one of the women asked, confused with the mention of the god of fire and the forge.

" Hephaestus, that's my name! Hahaha." He laughed happily, crying tears of joy, as he did so.

~Pov?~ (Third person)

" What do you think Odin will say when he finds out what we did?"

" Who cares about him and his opinion, we gave him a chance. It's not our problem, if he doesn't like the helper he got. Its his own fault, if he doesn't!"

" Hahahah, you all are so evil. Aren't you the reason behind his actions, you evil bastards, hahaha. I love you all, you truly entertain us higher beings!" Something said, making all of them shiver.

" God, what are you doing here?"

" Am I not allowed to watch you play around? Are you telling me what to do?"

" We wouldn't dare God, we just, you know, weren't expecting you! Next time inform us, if your going to visit."

" Are you ordering me?"

" We wouldn't dare!"

(Author here: Well, you might feel like the plot derails from time to time. But everything I write has a meaning, even in the earliest chapter, there are things that won't make sense, before hundreds of chapters in the future, that you wouldn't even think of. Anyways, have a great day boys and gals and everything in between. Author out :) )
