Chapter 57 - ZOMBIES

Perseus POV -

Something that is full of malious and killing intent. I stood before my girls. They also must have sense them. We stood facing the backs of each other. Suddenly from the fog a man appeared. Calling him a man is difficult. After seeing him I used my magic to cover the area around us in a protective shield. Not like the shield around our body before but a shield that covers the area of five meters around us and stronger.

He is more like a cyclops with burnt skin. He has only one eye like them but instead of in the middle it is on the place of there left forehead. They don't have nose on there skin but two holes in its place. There skin is dark, burn and full of bad smells. It's feel like it is melting from his body. He was slow very slow.

The moment he saw us he tried to attack us but it felt like it was trying to eat us. I asked,'' What the holy hell is that?''

Frejya said,'' I do not. But the rags he is wearing is familiar. They belonged to the guards who were in our army.''

Suddenly many other figures came out of the fog. Without any delay they all tried to attack on the invisible shield around us. Some of them were wearing the same type of rags as the first person.

Frejya then looked at a women and said, '' I know the necklace she is wearing. It belonged to a very kind women. She was priestess here.''

I looked at Anna with a raised eyebrow. If anyone knew the answer then it is she. She thought for a while and said,'' If I am right then instead of killing all the peoples that death mist or fog must have turned them into this abomination.''

Frejya said,'' No Anna. We would not have abandon our people. We checked. There were no alive peoples here. All the peoples that were here died in that attack. ''

Anna asked,'' Did you use magic to find it or did it manually?''

Frejya said,'' With magic. It was very hasty back then. It was almost impossible to send more people. Sending more is like a death trap. We would have more people then we can rescue.''

Anna said,'' Then only two things are possible. First - Either these people does not count as alive or Second- They died at that time and then came back to life like this abomination.''

Frejya was silent for a while. Then she spoke but her voice was wavering,'' Our people suffered so much just because we can't sense them.''

Now that I think about it when I first became the King Of Vanaheim I saw a glimpse of this place. But even I didn't sense anything at that time. I said,'' It is not your fault Frejya. You can't help those who you don't know are hurt. I believe if you and your father or anyone in our family knew about them then they would have tried there best to help them.

What we have to do now is to end there suffering. These people have suffered for a long time. We should help them.''

Frejya and all nodded there head. I then opened the Gate Of Babylon and hundreds of golden portal opened and swords came out of it. They were the same swords. Just thousands of copies of them. When I was about to launch them Frejya said,'' No please don't. '' I looked at her confused.

She said,'' These are my peoples. They will not die like this. If they have to die then it is best they die a warrior's way. By fighting in a battle.''

I took back all the weapons then we all looked at each other. We summoned our weapons. I called forth my favorite sword Riptide. Yes it was also in my treasures. Zoe called forth her bow and Anna and Frejya called there spears.

Then I said, '' Anna don't they look like those people we saw in movies. ''

Anna said,'' Yes Zombies. ''

Frejya asked ,'' What is a Movie?''

I smiled mysteriously and said,'' Oh you will know in future.''

She rolled her eyes. Then we all became serious. When we all are ready and prepared for upcoming battle I put down the shield that was covering us. The moment it is gone they attacked. We all sprung into action at once. After that everything was a blur of motion. I attacked one, slash second and behead third.

It was just like this. And that is the moment I truly felt why the Aesirs were so battle hungry. It was like our blood demands for it. We truly did enjoy it and I was no exception. But there was something more inside me. Every time I kill someone it was like a part of me did not like it. It must be my life divinity. It makes it hard for me to hurt someone.

I truly did not like it. But something is missing. Maybe it is because these people are not truly alive or they are dead. The remorse and guilt I feel for them its like only a portion what I will feel if I kill an alive person.

Now I know what father said that it is almost impossible for a God to change his nature. Even when I killed these beast I felt like this what would happen if I killed an alive person and even worse an innocent. While I would never kill an innocent but circumstances can be difficult sometime.

I have to understand all this things. I can't have this big weakness. I would be a King a ruler. I can't have the luxury of hesitation. I have to overcome thos weakness. How can I protect those under me if I can't even kill my enemies. I felt the same feelings with those Ice and Fire Giants. Because of all the work I almost forget about it.

Well it can also help me if it is controlled. It can teach me the value of life. It will teach me mercy. But it has to be controlled. I can't have hesitations in battlefield. It will be dangerous. Maybe not for me but certainly for my allies.

SOME TIME LATER -

I don't know how long it has been. But when we are done we were standing on a mountain of dead bodies with severed limbs and heads. Well what come next is-
