Chapter I: A Strange Encounter
No one's POV
Odin simply grins at y/n as the woman continues to stay silent. He strokes his beard as y/n stood still. The sun sets behind y/n as he felt his patience run out.
"Fine..." Y/n mutters.
He lifts his right arm to the side, his palm open. At first, nothing happened. The woman looks confused by his move as Odin looks pleased. Eventually though, a strange sound came from the alleyway. Something moves out of the alleyway very quickly, making a bunch of noise. Soon, something shinny explodes out of a trash bin and flew into y/n's hand. In y/n's hand was an axe. It's blade was silver with symbols engraved into it as the handle was bendy. Two orbs glowed near the top of the axe.
The axe was slowly became coated in ice. Y/n glares daggers at Odin as the latter continues to smile.
"If you won't say anything..." Y/n threatens coldly. He points the end of the blade of his axe at Odin's face. "I'll just have to make you!"
"..." Odin remains silent. He simply stares at y/n with an unreadable expression on his face. A nervous sweat drips from the woman's face as she stares at Odin with worry.
"Lord Odin..." The woman mutters, gaining the old man's attention. "This was not what we came here for. We-."
"Quit your worrying." Odin replies, annoyed. "I don't plan on doing anything drastic. I-."
"Hey!" The two heard y/n yell. They turn their heads to him and saw him angered. "Don't ignore me, jackass! I want answers!"
Odin smirks. "Well aren't you impatient? Haven't your parents told you it's not polite to yell at others while they're talking?" Y/n's eyes flinch by Odin's question. "Might need to teach you a lesson about manners." Y/n grits his teeth as his hold on his axe tightens.
"Shut up! If you won't tell me why you're here, then I'll-!"
"Relax! We didn't come all this way for a fight." Odin reassures. "I just wanted to meet you in person."
"Meet me in person?" Y/n repeats, confused. "What for? Last time I checked, you and my families aren't exactly okay with each other after a certain god or two was killed."
"You are correct. We have not forgotten what happened that day. But I'm willing to put that aside for now."
"?"
"I heard rumors about the descendent of the infamous Ghost of Sparta was some kid who doesn't know how to keep a simple job and pay their bills on time. That caught my interest and I decided I needed to see if it was true myself."
"...." Y/n glares at Odin with anger burning up in his eyes.
The woman flinches by Odin's words. She whips her head to him with a shocked expression. "H-his ancestor is Kratos?!"
"?" Y/n eyes the woman in confusion. He points his axe at her as his eyes focused on Odin. "Who is she?"
"Hmm?" Odin stares at y/n for a moment, before turning to the woman next to him. "Oh? Her? She's Rossweisse, one of the current living Valkyries."
"A Valkyrie?" Y/n mutters. "I thought Kratos-."
"He did kill a few previous Valkyries, yes." Odin answers. "But I replaced them. Unfortunately I got stuck with her." He says whilst pointing at Rossweisse with a thumb. "She's a Valkyrie who has never gotten a boyfriend before-."
"L-Lord Odin!" Rossweisse shouts in embarrassment as her cheeks turn pink. Y/n looks at her in both awe and confusion as she continued. "D-don't say stuff like that! Especially when we need-."
"Quiet down." Odin says. "This is exactly why you're still single."
"!!" Rossweisse looks like she was on the verge of crying. Her legs gave in and she squats on the ground, sobbing. "You're so mean, Lord Odin!" She went on about how she could find a boyfriend on her own if everyone didn't remind her she wasn't good with romance and stuff.
"???" Y/n looks at her with a dumbfounded face. He did not know what was going on anymore. He eventually recollects himself and puts his axe on his back. "Are we done here?" He asks, annoyed. "Or are we going to continue wasting my night?"
"Huh?" Odin turns his head back to y/n one last time as Rossweisse continues to cry. "Oh, right."
Y/n noticed that Odin's attitude suddenly changed. He was constantly smiling and trying to annoy y/n not too long ago, but now he looks very serious and acts like he isn't playing around anymore. Y/n was a little taken aback, but he quickly overcame it.
"The reason why I'm here is because I need you for a job."
"A job?" Y/n mutters before raising his voice. "What for? And before you answer, how the hell did you find me? I never made myself stuck out in-."
Before y/n could continue, something flew over his head. He ducks as he was caught off guard by the thing as he heard wings flapping. The thing flew to Odin and circled him before landing on his shoulder. The thing was the see through bird that was watching the bar from earlier. It caws as y/n straightens up.
"I have eyes everywhere, boy." Odin says. "Though it did take a little longer to find you than expected."
"..."
"And to answer your other question; The job I need you for is quite simple: I need you as a bodyguard. In a week, the three main factions involving the Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils and I are having a meeting to make peace. I have a suspicion that some one or some thing may try to interfere with the peace treaty. I want you to make sure that nothing stops the meeting. Understood?"
"...." Y/n studies Odin cautiously. The two didn't even realize that Rossweisse was done whining. "Why are you and the three factions getting together in the first place?" He asks, suspicious.
"That's classified. If you join, I'll explain it more as the day comes closer."
"..." A nervous sweat slides down y/n's face. "... Do I even have a say if I can except your offer or not? Cause' something that big of a "job" doesn't come by often from the King of the Norse Gods himself very often, you know?"
"....You're friend in that bar-."
"?!" Y/n's eyes widen in horror.
A gust of wind blew pass Odin before he could even finish his sentence. Two strands of his hair were cut off and slowly decent to the ground, shocking Rossweisse. "?!"
The two heard something flying behind them. Rossweisse turns around and saw y/n's axe flying back to its owner's hand, who looks absolutely livid. The two noticed that the ground underneath y/n cracks slightly, who got into a battle stance with his axe in hand.
"Don't you DARE get Thomas involved in ANY of this!" Y/n threatens. A powerful aura began to surround his body, moving like flames. He gave Odin the death glare, his eyes burning with hatred, causing Rossweisse to stand in front of the Norse God as a shield. "He's just a normal human! It's bad enough he knows my secrets! So don't even think about-!"
"I wasn't planning on hurting him." Odin says as he steps away from Rossweisse, who was shocked.
"Lord Odin-?"
"I wasn't done speaking." Odin says sharply.
"..." Y/n doesn't move at all, but his eyes calmed down a bit.
"I was going to say that your friend seems to be in some trouble involving money. If you help me out, I'll help with whatever issues his sister is having."
"...." Y/n's aura calms down, but some of it was still there. He contemplates with all his might on the situation in front of him.
"..." Rossweisse stares at y/n as she was in her thoughts too.
"What do you say, current god of War?" Odin asks. "Do you accept?"
"..." Y/n stares deeply and intensely at Odin as he was deep in his thoughts.
