Ch. 143 Troll of Yom

Pov.

-Kara-

…

"Hey you ate eight of our sheep, you know?!" Ylva's face turns red. Probably just realizing how majestically handsome I was

That's right. I grab the chain around My neck

I was sold into slavery the moment I woke up

It was pathetic. Humiliating. A God, creator of man. Sold into slavery…

I lunge at Thors with My piercing claws leading straight for his face

But he steps back and catches My wrist.

"Dad!" Ylva shouts

"Easy.. boy."

He's strong. And he could fight.

I could tell that much

"Hmh." I back off and cross My arms

According to the night sky I'm back on Gaia.

How lucky, I'll be damned if I have to find My way back again

"Your chain. It's solid Platinum. You're a precious slave." He says

…

"It's because of that tail, isn't it?"

"So what?"

"Never seen anything like it." He shrugs "It's cold out. I suggest you stay here. At least until you've got enough money to get a tool capable of cutting through that." He adds

"Yeah, you should stay!" Ylva insists, hiding behind her mother

"Tch."

He was right. With these branded chains I won't last a day out on the mainland.

"Whatever, don't expect a thank you." I lay back in My bed.

"Wouldn't dream of it."

…

-6 years later

"Thorfinn, get over here and take a bath!" Ylva shouts as our son hurries out the door

"I'm going with dad!" He jumps

"Kara tell him to-."

I glare at her for even thinking she could talk to Me that way

Currently I'm able to present Myself as a 6 foot male roughly of the age of sixteen to avoid any wonders about My actual age being that I look like a child.

I go on a hunt to get some shut eye once a week to relieve Myself of the strain this facade puts on My body

I've only gathered twenty percent of the fortune required to get rid of these chains.

Of course I could simply train every single day until I could snap them off with My bare hands but…

That isn't nearly as fun.

…

I almost forgot Thorfinn followed Me into the forest with his own bow and arrow

Quite honestly I couldn't care less if the boy drowns in the snow, but he was hell bent on coming with Me today

"D-dad, wait up!" He shouts

Hold my hand up, telling the boy to pipe down before I duck My head after seeing the deer I was tracking down a few meters away

I pull the bowstring back and take a deep breath before an arrow flies right by my head

The deer looks up

Before it took off I whistle so it'll look My way and I nail it right between its eyes

"What are you stupid?!" I growl at the boy

"I-I just…" he backs off

"You almost scared it off, boy!" I grab his shirt

"I-I just want to b-be like you. D-daddy." He whimpers

"Then learn to shoot. Cause I don't shoot with My eyes closed." I shove him on his ass

I go on and skin the deer before having Thorfinn carry the skin back home

I tear it's organs out before head into town to sell the game

…

"Bullshit, old man." I pull him over the counter. You gave Me a gold coin last time!"

"You've hunted pretty much every deer on that mountain, Kara. The people are looking for something else."

"Yeah? Well five silver isn't going to cut it!" I was ready to pound his face in when someone drops one gold on the counter

I let go of the old man after the coin bounced once on the counter and I snatched the coin.

"I'll take it." Thors smiles

"Tch." I roll My eyes before he throws the deer over his shoulder

I followed him back home, mostly wondering if I could take him on, now with My current strength.

"How's My grandson?"

"About as much of a brat as he ever was."

"You two were far too young to have a child in the first place. I don't know what you were thinking."

"Yeah? Well, that was on you." I shrug

…

He smiles

…

Seriously, this guy doesn't budge.

I knocked up his daughter six months after they so graciously took Me in

Helga was furious. She tried to kill Me.

Thors on the other hand comforted his daughter and tried to explain to Me the responsibilities of a father.

It was pathetic. I've never met a man more so than him

"Grand-papa!" Thorfinn hurries out after his bath and jumps into Thor's arms

"Thorfinn you're going to get sick!" Ylva shouts for him.

"The boy is becoming more and more like you." Thors scoops him up.

"Yeah, he broke someone's arm." Ylva adds

"Hmh." I smile

He is My blood.

If they want to play with him then they should curse their father for birthing such pathetic little creatures.

"Keheh." Thorfinn giggles just before we step into the house where there was a blonde man sitting by the fire with a scar on the left side of his face

I honestly couldn't care less what he had to say to Thors so after Ylva tucked Thorfinn in bed she joined Me in our room for some dick.

…

"Mmh-mm-mmh." Ylva moans as I blow her back out the following morning

I pull out and finish on her back.

I lay beside her

I stare up at the ceiling as she gobbled on My cock while her legs spazz and tremble

Later on the day we were told we had to go into battle for the sake of our king.

Although I wouldn't dare to lower My head to such, but a war… well that didn't sound half bad.

…

"Give it! I want to fight too!" Thorfinn growls after Thors grabbed the knife in his hand

"Fight? Who? Who do you have to fight?" Thors asks

"Our enemies of-."

"Enemies? Thorfinn, you have no enemies." He pats his head. "Enemies are those who would take your life. They are the ones who, one day, will steal everything from you.

In War, you will seek vengeance upon those who stand before you as they will surely seek it upon you. That is the fate of those who seek war.

A Mindless Cycle of Death and Destruction."

…

"A True Warrior, Thorfinn. Does not need a weapon or have the need to seek conflict. A True Warrior sits back and defends those he has grown to love from the inevitability of War" he looks up at Me

"Tch." I roll My eyes

What a pathetic fucking Oaf.

"You're going to fight! You're going to war and you're going to kill people too!" Thorfinn runs off on his own.

…

I glare at Thors, knowing full well that little speech of his was directed at Me.

…

After he shuts his eyes and smiles I take Ylva into our bedroom for the night

The entire village was ready by the end of the week

Every young man was suited up and ready for battle by the end of the week

I saw Thorfinn sneak onto the ship behind Thors back just before we departed.

He only came out once we were far enough to where there was no going back.

There he got his ass spanked.

Night fell and all the boys were exhausted so they had to take a break. I on the other hand didn't bother with such peasantry of rowing a boat.

I was sitting back, watching the night sky before Thors joined Me.

"Pride is a Haughty spirit before a fall."

"Pride is strength, power. You wouldn't be here now if you weren't once a proud Warrior."

"Maybe so," He smiles, "but a Warrior is a Warrior at heart because he has only known fear.

It is what they do with that fear that makes them a warrior. It is what they do with that fear that makes them human.

To perceive all things through the heart of a warrior is to perceive the world through the scope of fear."

…

"Tell Me, Kara. What is it you fear?"

I draw My blade but he catches it with his bare hand before I could pierce his throat.

…

"All those scars, to say you endured a thousand years of torment would be untrue."

…

He lets go of My blade before I could cut his fingers off and draws his just enough to block mine before I could slice him in half

…

"What happened to being a True Warrior?"

"Things change when you look into the eyes of a beast." He glares at Me.

…

"Wh-what's wrong, Papa." Thorfinn whimpers

I sheath My blade, knowing I couldn't possibly defeat him now.

…

"When this is all over. I promise that I'll snap those chains off your neck myself, Kara." He smiles
