Chapter 4

Xeos continued to run away and find a suitable place to hide. He didn't know that he had attracted the attention of a certain goddess who was currently looking at his soul and touching herself due to how pure it is despite everything he went through. It true that his soul is very damaged but nothing she couldn't fix over time. She had already sent her strongest child to bring him to her. She easily recognized the evilus symbol and didn't care about that. By the time they get to him, he will be hers.

Xeos continued to breathe heavily and only know noticed how much pain his head is in. Getting hit with a wooden sword would do that. Xeos heard heavy footsteps approaching his direction and decided to flee. He immediately sprinted around the corner to get some distance but somehow the man was already in front of him and before he could react, was once again knocked out.

The tall man grabbed the boy and held him like a sack of potatoes. He checked the surrounding area and then made his way back to the goddess.

30 minutes later, the tall man was kneeling before his goddess with the boy laid on the ground. The tall man spoke "Good evening, Goddess Freya".

Freya looked at her child and then to the boy and then back to the man and said "Good job Ottar, please put him in the infirmary and once he is treated bring him over even if he didn't wake up". Ottar just nodded and grabbed the boy to get treated.

After an hour or so of patching him up, Ottar once again grabbed him and went back to his goddess. After putting the kid on the bed, Freya order Ottar to stand guard outside and to leave her alone. Once she made sure he was gone, she made her way over to the boy and couldn't help but pet him. The subconscious purr he let out managed to draw out a smile. Freya kept petting him gently while thinking of different plans and what she could do.

After a couple hours, Xeos began to awaken slowly but surely and once awake he took a look around his surroundings and noticed he was somewhere fancy. He would have kept on looking but he suddenly heard a heavenly voice say "Your finally awake, This is my room and i had brought you here to offer you a deal".

Xeos turned his head and couldn't stop the widening of his eyes slightly which she noticed and smile more brightly. She grew even more attached because the boy immediately went back to neutral even though she used her charm and it didn't work. He was probably just surprised by her natural beauty.

Xeos continued to stare at her and she decided to move on. "Tell me, do you want revenge upon the people who branded you" Freya asked.

Xeos once again widened his eyes slightly but then narrowed them sharply and gave her a death stare. Freya actually flinched slightly at that look of pure hatred and malice and knew she had to tread carefully since he is immune to her charm.

"I don't mean you any harm other than bringing you here with orthodox methods. Just nod your head yes or no to my questions ok" She said.

Xeos thought it over and figured there wasn't anything to lose so he agreed by nodding his head yes. Freya smiled and repeated the question from earlier. She saw him nod his head yes. "Would you do anything within your power to achieve said revenge". He nodded slowly yes as if he was thinking carefully. "I can give you that power and so much more. I could show you the love you have missed out on and help you with your revenge even but in exchange you have to join my familia and serve me. Not as a slave but as an adventurer, i didn't want you to think i was trying to force you".

Xeos looked at her and thought of the offer. To be honest, the power and revenge did sound good but he didn't know what this love was so he wasn't completely sold on it yet. "I see you can't decide, I'll let you rest tonight and tomorrow morning you can give me an answer. Does that sound good".

Xeos just nodded his head and with her permission went back to sleep since he was beyond exhausted and tired. A couple hours later and he woke up and noticed he was alone. He decided to do some serious thinking. He didn't know what to do but he decided as long as he got his revenge nothing else matters. After thinking about it more he doesn't care if he has to become someone's trophy or slave as long as he gives those bastards what they deserve.

With his mind made up, he noticed that the goddess from last night was drinking some wine and was looking out the window absentmindedly. He cough slightly to get her attention and it worked, she perked up and turned her head towards him and smiled seeing he was awake. "Good morning, did you think about the offer last night at all". He nodded his head and got up and slowly but carefully walked to her.

Freya watched him with curious eyes and saw him kneel before her in total submission. Freya smile widened exponentially and she chuckled. "Very well from now on you are one of my children. My name is Freya and from now on your goddess".

Xeos nodded his head and swore he'd get his revenge one way or another.
