Chapter 89 – Ask and Embla

Embla was checking documents of her Kingdom when another servant came to inform about the Human that was coming to the castle

“Don’t you see that I’m busy?”

“Pardon my lady but it seems that Miriam failed in stopping the human to come”

“I guess I can make a small space in my schedule to see what is this about”

Harima then reached the gates of the castle

Meanwhile Zosimos was watching Harima on a screen that he created with Alchemy, Anne and Benten where watching and then Erica and Marisa joined them

“Is that Harima?”

“Where is him?”

“He is at the castle of Embla”

“….is he alone?”

“Yea”

“Why?”

“Have some faith on the dude” said Zosimos

“If you keep worrying about him you won’t move on, geez! No wonder you are still stuck as the fourth creation”

Zosimos, who survived the Cambrian explosion and lived long enough to see the human behavior was facing the ultimate human behavior which is leading this creation to its own destruction

“Don’t you see that he is trying to be a Hero now?”

“But when did he acquire such confidence on himself?”

“Just listening to you make me sick, you are supposed to be able to achieve what he has achieved but you are way too worried on your surroundings that you never give born what Harima has gotten, he is about to face the second creation by himself”

 “You look pretty excited Zosimos” said Benten

“Of course I’m, because he is my rival after he defeat Embla”

Anne then said

“I don’t get why you say that he has to fight her, Ask was a gentlemen when we reached their dimension and if Embla really wanted to destroy Harima she would have done that already”

“Defeat not necessarily implies a physical fight, Embla has her own fortress beside the castle, she has been leading her land since before you were created, I was supposed to remove that system of hers when I was created but my nature leads me to a different goal, I wanted to see how this new system of the fourth creation would beat the flawless kingdom of Embla”

Embla then went to the main hall of her castle and saw Harima, he was wearing the white shirt slim fit Korean style that he loved so much

“Don’t you think he looks hot on that shirt Marisa?”

Marisa and Erica were supposed to not feel anything for Harima now that the wish was removed from them but they could not avoid the fact that Harima was not ugly at all, if he could keep the good-looking vibe he would be a hot boyfriend, the main problem with Harima was his lack of communication skills and his lack of confidence

Embla then said to Harima

“Welcome Human, what brings you to my castle?”

Harima then leaned as reverence to Embla

“Is a pleasure to me to be welcomed by the Queen of this land, I’m here as a messenger of love”

Ask was in a corner like a spoiled child, he was a man who lacked freedom and in the castle Embla threatened him as a son instead of an equal, he then jumped and stood in front of Harima

“So, you say you are a messenger of Love, do you really think we need that love that you say in our Kingdom?”

“I believe that there is no other precious emotion in the world than Love”

“In your world, you mean” said Embla

“I thought you were a messenger from the merchants from the east but I think you are just a believer of something useless, I’m coming back to work, Ask show him the exit”

“Don’t you feel lonely my lady?” said Harima

Embla stopped and said

“Loneliness is another emotion that we don’t need Harima” she looked at him and then said

“Emotions are forbidden here”

Ask smiled at Harima and placed his hand on Harima shoulder and said

“Well done my friend, follow me”

Harima then left with Ask and then outside the castle Ask took Harima to the flower yard and Harima noticed that Ask had an amazing garden, it was sunset but the light from the flowers kept shining in the dark

“Embla is your wife isn’t?”

“I’m her little brother”

“When did she stop loving you?”

“I think it was my fault, I wanted her to see the beautiful world that Odin gave us but she wanted to make sure that no one stands against her, the fact that we were meant to give born every life in this world made her blind, she didn’t have faith that the gods would protect us against dragons and decided to stablish an army to defend the city”

“Do this creation have a dark side?”

“It does but the gods take care of those matters, we were meant to just fill the land with humans, well, our version of Humans”

Ask started to walk and then reached a place where they could see Embla room, you could see her figure on her window, she always take a walk outside of her room to see the stars, Ask knew about this and that’s why he brought Harima to this side of the castle

“You still love her, don’t you?”

“I guess you can tell”

Embla was the most beautiful woman at Midgard, Ask was a lucky man for having her but he wanted her to be the king by her side, Harima then noticed that Embla looked at Ask from the window

Next morning Harima went to the castle again and Embla was walking on the corridors and then Harima faced her and then he asked her

“Would you accept a challenge of Joust?”

“You have some nerve to ask me this Harima”

“Ask told me that you are a skilled rider”

Embla looked at Ask and he denied with his head and then she said

“What do I get if I win?”

“I won’t bother you anymore”

“What will you request if you win?”

“Nothing”

“Then what is the point?”

“You are not going to win my lady”

Embla looked at Harima who seemed very confident

“Ok, don’t regret it later”
