Viggo woke up in a one-room bed at Kain's house. He opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was a white ceiling. Then he looked to the right, saw part of the bed, a white wall with beige curtains pulled out. The sky was darkening as the first stars appeared. Viggo took a deep breath, brought his hand to his chest, and touched himself. Someone had taken away his breastplate. However, despite the terrible attack of Thor's hammer, he now had no injuries.
Viggo put his hands on the sides of the bed and looked at the room. It was one of the two rooms Kain had for visits. It only had a closet for clothes, a bed, and candles on the sides. Viggo looked at the rest of his body. He was healthy and without the aftermath of that disastrous encounter. Then he notices that he had the necklace with the gemstone hanging from his neck. However, what should be a blue stone, was now crystal clear and transparent like a diamond. Viggo grimaced like a smile and understood how he was saved. It was Kiara and the necklace.
Viggo got up from the bed, wearing his red robe and belt with the lion's head in the center. He was barefoot, but his leather boots were on the side of the bed. He put on his boots, walked to the door, and walked out into the hall. The room was at the end of the long corridor on the second floor. He looked up at the stairs, where the hallway began, and saw a green-haired elf carrying a baby in her arms.
-Hello aunt- said Viggo, walking in the direction of the green-haired elf. She turned her face and smiled at the sight of Viggo.
-How are you Viggo?- asked Aina with baby Eina in her arms.
-Best, Aunt-
-Holy heaven- said Aina -I almost had a heart attack when I found you on the street so badly hurt with that little girl, Rosewisse-
-I'm sorry, auntie- said Viggo, arriving in front of her. Baby Eina looked up, focused on Viggo's vibrant red hair. She threw her little hands and Viggo stretched out his hands so that Aina would pass it to her. Viggo took Eina in his arms, and she took strands of hair, curious and fascinated by the vibrant color of the hair.
-Your father is waiting for you in the library. He's with Rosewisse, Semiramis, Scheherezade and Hitomi- Aina said with a smile as baby Eina had fun with her brother's long red hair.
-Hitomi?- asked Viggo confused, he didn't remember anyone with that name.
-Yes, she... is Semiramis' new assistant- Aina said with an uncomfortable smile.
-Do you know her?-
-A little, but don't worry, despite everything, it is reliable and intelligent. It's just that, well, treat her well-
Viggo narrowed his eyes upon hearing her and nodded. Then he laid out baby Eina and Aina took her in his arms. Viggo said goodbye to her, went down the stairs to the first floor, walked to the library and knocked on the dark brown door.
-Go ahead- Kain said from the inside.
Viggo opened the door and found his father sitting in his armchair with a large backrest. Kain was tall, so his head easily reached the top of the backrest. In front of him was a long rectangular glass table and on the sides two three-body armchairs. On the left side was seated Rosewisse alone, with her wide white wings, but she no longer wore the golden armor. Instead, she wore a long blue dress that stuck to the crow and denoted its curves.
It was a new vision for Viggo, because with the armor everything looked very flat. However, now, everything looked very prominent. Someone coughed and distracted Viggo from his vision. He looked at the three-body armchair on the right and saw a woman with hair as red as his own, pointed elf ears, and a one-piece red dress. What stood out the most were his eyes of red pupils and a, huge pair...
Someone coughed again distracting Viggo from his contemplation. The expression on his face said it all, that red-haired elf could compete on equal terms with Scheherezade.
Viggo looked to the right of the red-haired elf and saw Semiramis with his long dark hair falling like two silk waterfalls on the sides of her face, highlighting her frown. Viggo made a small smile and scratched his head. Finally, he looked at Scheherezade who was closest to him. She looked at him with those beautiful green eyes and the semi-transparent white veil covering the lower half of her face. She, she was angry, didn't show it, but Viggo knew it just by looking into her eyes.
Viggo coughed this time and walked to the couch as opposed to his father's. He sat down and stared at Kain's face, who as always, smiled and had fun with his clumsiness.
Kain shook his head always keeping his smile and asked him in an affable tone of voice -How are you son?-
-Fine, father- replied Viggo, smiling at the sight of his father so calm -Did you help us?-
Kain nodded slowly and replied -that's right, you almost gave your Aunt Aina a death scare. She was going out with Eina to make her walk to the shop of your aunts Mikoto and Isabel. Just at that moment you appeared and this little girl, Rosewisse- he let out a sigh of tiredness and continuous -I must say that my heart is not prepared for that kind of visions Who did that to you?-
-It is a long story, but to be brief, he was a god of the land in which my master lives. A very strong guy. The first time Rosewisse and I faced him, I thought he was playing, but he never measured how strong he would be once he got serious.
-How strong?-
-More than Jason and the others. If he is serious, he could kill all three of them in a few seconds. Their blows are devastating-
-I don't think it's that strong- said Rosewisse, sitting in the armchair on the left -it's his weapon, it's famous in the Nine Realms. Mjolnir, the weapon created by the dwarves Sindri and Brok to impress the AllFather. If only we could take it away, we could beat him-
-How old are you a girl?- asked Kain.
Rosewisse looked at the white-haired elf, much like Viggo, but with an unfathomable aura -I, I'm sixteen- she said.
-How old is that guy, Thor?-
-Is it important?-
-Yes, very important. It indicates the amount of experience accumulated and the times he may have faced the dead. Now tell me Is he hated?- Rosewisse nodded and Kain continued -then you are not the first ones who want to kill him. Wherever you see the opportunity, many have failed. Being that premise true, do you think you are the first one who considers taking away Mjolnir? Others must have already done so and if that guy Thor is alive, it means that everyone who tried died.
Rosewisse looked down and stared at her hands on her lap.
Viggo seeing her so decayed, looked at Kain and said -father, you don't need to say more. We know we are weak-
-I only remind you in a kind way, before you remember it at the least indicated moment-
Viggo and Kain looked into each other's eyes in a competition of looks. The atmosphere became tense, but someone coughed again. Viggo and Kain looked at the armchair on the right, where the red-haired elf, Semiramis and Scheherezade were.
-I'm sorry- said Viggo -it wasn't my intention. Semiramis, come here, with me-
Semiramis frowned upon being called in such a way but stood up from the armchair. She wore a black chiton with gold edges. Thanks to the black color, the growth of its belly was concealed, but it was as big as a watermelon. She walked to Viggo, he extended a hand to her, she took it and he led her to sit on his lap. He looks at her and whisper some things in her ear. She pinched him in the stomach and whispered other things to him.
Semiramis looked back at the armchair where the red-haired elf was sitting and Scheherezade at each end -Hitomi Can you introduce yourself?-
-Immediately, ma'am- Hitomi said in a calm and polite voice. She showed a smile brimming with confidence and stood up. She noticed Viggo's eyes travel directly to her chest and took note of finding a dress with less cleavage. It would be a problem if the lord of the house pursued her with other intentions. She blushed at the thought that a man like Viggo was courting her. But she shook her head in a sharp gesture, fixed her red hair on the sides of her face, and put her hand to her mouth to cough -good afternoon- she said with a serious and professional tone -my name is Hitomi, from the Royal Forest of Alf. I am a scholar in economics, history, science, and a teacher of magic among many other disciplines. I am currently working for Mrs Semiramis and in the future, I will be looking forward to working with you, Mr Viggo-
Viggo was fascinated with those breasts, big, round, and full, but that last sentence left him confused. He looked at Semiramis, who looked at him with a frown. Viggo looked at her seriously, as if he didn't understand her anger, but she pinched him in the stomach anyway.
-Hitomi is a person I met in particular circumstances- said Semiramis, looking Viggo in the eye.
-Madam...- Hitomi said.
-I know, we won't talk about it- replied Semiramis, raising her right hand to keep her silent. In no way was she going to tell her husband that the scholar she was putting in charge of him was a slave who bought from Hera's contacts. Viggo's future was great, and he would need a trusted scholar in the future. Hitomi was a slave with a curse mark, so she wouldn't betray him. Semiramis looked at Viggo and got lost in those blue eyes -she is smart, approved by me and Hera, you can ask her to help you in the study of the Runes and in the management of different businesses-
-Regarding that- Rosewisse said, frowning at the sight of the huge watermelons that Hitomi had for tits and more annoyed with Viggo -I am an expert, I have the skill and theoretical knowledge. I can be a better teacher; I don't need to get paid. After all, Viggo and I...we are Great Friends-
Hitomi was left with her eyes wide open and an expression of concern. She hadn't even started her job and they had already made it wrong. However, she calmed down, put her hand to her mouth and coughed -you may say that, but I have fifty years of learning. In no way could sixteen years of life be compared to him-
-Fifty?- asked Viggo with Semiramis sitting on her lap.
-Sixty-
Viggo looked at Kain and asked -Father, elves are considered children if they are less than a hundred years old, right?- Kain nodded with a smile. Viggo looked at Hitomi and asked -How did they let you out of your kingdom? You are less than an infant according to the rules of your kingdom-
-That...- Hitomi replied with discomfort. She looked to Scheherezade and Semiramis for help.
Semiramis let out a sigh at the useless scholar with zero social skills -enough, Hitomi. Don't worry, I'll put you in that position, Viggo will respect it. Regarding Rosewisse- she looked at the winged woman with the silver hair -you can help my husband, but I don't know you and I don't know who you are. You claim to be friends with my husband, but for how long?-
That made Rosewisse feel uncomfortable, since they had only known each other for two days.
