Jake lifted her in his arms and rushed after the guard.
"…"
"Father," Thor spoke out, "what about the ceremony? My kingship!" He asked in concern. It was supposed to be his big day, his crowning moment of achievement!
Thor's sister, Loki, standing next to him, was also wondering the same.
She had planned out an entire event to interrupt her foolish brother from inheriting the crown this day, and by chance, someone else had come along and upstaged her. She didn't know how to feel about that...
Odin turned to his two children and let out a sigh. "Both of you were still young children during our war with the angels long ago. Since then, they have been completely sealed away in their own realm, unable to leave.
And yet, that girl was recently stabbed by a weapon that was personally created by the angels' old leader. I sensed the burning light from her wounds myself.
Do you two know what that could mean?" Odin questioned his children, hoping to make this a learning moment for them.
"No," Thor said bluntly, much to his father's disappointment.
"It means that members of Heven may have possibly found a way to escape their closed realm," Loki responded. Odin nodded to her and told her that was correct.
He told them the ceremony would be put on hold while he questioned the red haired young man.
…
"Is she going to be okay?" Jake asked nervously to the Asgardian healers for the dozenth time. And wasn't that a trip? He was in freaking Asgard, home of the Norse Gods.
He thought maybe he was going to travel to the past or future. Jake knew that he really needed to start practicing with the dimensional mist soon.
"For the last time, young man, yes. She will live. I was a healer in the war against Heven 1500 years ago, and I am familiar with the light poisoning of the angel weapons.
" A female healer who didn't look a day over 40 replied to him. Jake was shocked at her age. Was she a god? Was everyone in Asgard a god?
Before he could ask her, the large doors of the healing hall burst open, and a platoon of guards entered, followed by the old king who Jake strongly suspected to be Odin himself.
The king of Asgard walked towards Serafall's sectioned-off healing bed. "Will she live?" Odin asked the healer. She told him that Serafall would but would take a long time to recover.
Odin nodded at that before turning to Jake. "Come," he said, "let us walk." Jake nodded and followed along after taking one last glance at Serafall. He was so glad she would be okay.
Walking beside Odin was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her mid-40s. Jake wondered if she was the queen.
"Thank you for saving Serafall," Jake said sincerely to both of them.
"It's no trouble, child. Tell me, do you know who we are?" The woman asked with a smile towards Jake.
"King Odin and Queen Frigga?" Jake guessed.
"Indeed," Odin spoke as they walked the beautiful halls of Asgard's palace. "I am King Odin, and you are in Asgard.
Normally we don't allow mortals into our kingdom, but due to this 'Serafall' being wounded by an angel weapon, I decided to make an exception," he said sagely.
"Mortal?" Jake questioned.
"Yes, you see, we Asgardians live very long lives compared to you humans," she explained.
"Oh, I'm only half human," Jake said, "and Serafall isn't human at all." Jake replied, temporarily stumping the two ancient rulers... they had not noticed.
Odin once again magically inspected Jake and was surprised to find that the 'boy' possessed a surprisingly large amount of magical power, far more than he'd ever seen in a mortal.
He nodded to his wife, who was waiting for him to finish inspecting the boy to see if he spoke the truth.
"I apologize for that," Queen Frigga said to Jake. "If it's not too rude to ask, what race do you two belong to?"
"We're known as devils," Jake said. He was actually a bit confused that Queen Frigga asked what he was. Shouldn't she know... wait? Wasn't Queen Frigga supposed to be dead?
Jake specifically remembered that fact when he was given some lessons on the other factions. Did he travel back in time to where she was still alive? That was possible, he supposed.
Jake also speculated he could be in another dimension entirely. The sacred gear he took the ability from was called Dimension Lost, after all...
"Hmmm, devils... I don't believe I've heard of that being a race," she said, glancing at Odin next to her. He shook his head that he hadn't either. "Would you mind telling us a bit about your race?" she asked.
"No problem. We're basically an immortal race that primarily specializes in magic," Jake explained. It wasn't like any of that was a secret.
"By immortal, do you mean...?" she trailed off.
"We won't die of old age ever," Jake said.
Odin and Frigga had a sour look on their faces when they heard his short explanation. Immortal!?
Here they were calling him a mortal when in truth they were the real mortals in this situation. Asgardians could live for thousands of years, but what was that compared to forever?
"W-well, that is quite informative, thank you, Jake," Frigga said with a small stutter she would forever deny occurred. "But do you mind telling us more about how you two arrived in the middle of our hall?"
This is where Jake realized he had to skirt the truth a bit to hide his bloodline. He explained to the two of them that he and Serafall were ambushed on an outing by the wielder of the True Longinus...
which he supposed they sort of were. Then he told them that as Serafall lay dying, he basically sent out a Hail Mary prayer to any higher beings that were listening and activated a teleportation spell with completely random coordinates, hoping she could be saved by a miracle.
It was a quick story he had to think up on the spot.
