Identity revealed (1)

A person was passing through the forest, without any fear of wild animals near him. There were no expressions on his face, and his temperament looked a little gloomy and violent.

Liam passed through the forest and reached the lake where he used to meet Swain. He has never stopped coming here in the past nine years, even though the deadline given by Swain had long passed. He sat under the tree where they usually sat together, and leaned to rest. There was silence around him and only the voice of running water could be heard. An unexpected voice broke the silence.

"I thought you would stop coming after such a long time."

Liam immediately stood up and looked on the right where the long heard voice came from. He saw Swain standing there and looking at him. He was the same as the past without any change in appearence, looking at him with a smile.

On the opposite side, Swain was also observing Liam. He thought maybe Liam stopped coming here as a lot of time had passed and maybe thought that he will never come back. So when he heard the sound of someone approaching the lake, he concealed himself.

Looking at Liam in from of him, he has changed a lot. The original 30 years old young man has changed to a mature man approaching 40. The tan skin looks more solid, with original tough and fierce temperament becoming more fierce and violent. His black eyes which were more brighter than stars are now as deep as an abyss, with a gloomy and destructive aura in them.

Liam approaching the person who appeared suddenly and touched the face of the person which was the same as past, but looks more beautiful and alluring. He didn't say anything and just wanted to confirm if it was his illusion or reality.

Swain was a surprised with the action but he didn't move away and allowed Liam to touch his face. After the person finished inspecting, he thought maybe it's a time for chat. Liam approached him more close and suddenly hugged him. He buried his head in Swain's shoulders and just few words came out of his mouth:

"I missed you a lot."

Swain was stunned. He had prepared a lot of details and explanations, but this was not reunion he imagined. All of his words were stuck in throat, and in the end, he just patted the back of Liam's head. "Me too."

...

Under there shade of tree, a blond haired person was sitting with another person lying on the grass with his head resting on the sitting person's lap. Swain and Liam had a pleasant reunion chat and now Liam looks a little more relaxed. The first few years after Swain left, he still passed them with patience as he was informed of the departure before. He fought in wars and handled the affairs of county. But as more and more years passed, his patience declined day by day and he started to become violent and aggressive. He began to spend most his time on the battlefield and only returned back on the day on which he used to meet Swain.

"Will you go again for a long time?"

Swain heard the question and looked down to look at the person who was looking at him with a little anxiety. The previous violent and killing aura in his eyes has disappeared and now they look like the eyes of a child who's afraid of losing his favourite toy again. He caressed the face of the person on his lap and replied:

"No, I will not be going."

Hearing the answer he wanted, the person smiled and closed his eyes to enjoy the warmth of the hands caressing his face.

"Liam."

"Yes."

"Would you like to know about me. I mean my identity?"

"You can tell me when you are ready. I can wait."

Swain looked at the person in eyes after hearing the reply. He clearly saw that the answer was with a firm tone without any superficialness. He said after making his mind:

"Liam, you may have divine blood."

The person lying sat up and asked with a puzzled tone, "Divine blood? What do you mean?"

"First tell me, what do you know about gods."

"I mean, they are powerful, many people believe in them."

"And you?"

Liam was quiet for a while, then said: "I don't much."

Swain was not offended by this and asked: "What do you know about Norse gods?"

"I heard they are God Odin, Goddess Friga, God of Thunder Thor, God of lies Loki and..."

"Are there more?" asked Swain.

Liam saw that Swain was repeatedly asking this, he was confused but still said after thinking: "There is God of Light Balder, Goddess Sif and oh, I have also heard about a new one recently. I remember it now, It was God of Ocean and Storms Swain. His name is the same as you."

saying this much, he stopped and looked up. He saw that Swain was looking at him with ccomplicted expessions after hearing the last God's name. A thought popped up in his mind, and his mind started running wildly. Combining all the previous clues of Swain's mysterious appearence, never aging, powers different from the warlocks and witches which he usually heard, he came to a conclusion, an impossible and ridiculous one. But his doubts were solved in the next second:

"You are thinking right. I am Swain, God of Ocean and Storms Swain, Third prince of Asgard Swain, and the king of Vanaheim Swain."
