They call me Richard
Interlude part 2

Interlude part 2

In the meeting room of Zeus, the six Gods were sharing information and building upon ideas. Odin and Freya would put forth a scenario and then Zeus would put forth an idea to counter it. Then Yahweh or Jesus would poke holes into the plan. Most of the time it was due to the lack of Demi-humans. Losing his temper slightly Odin asked Zeus to use the pool to search for a Druid or at least someone who would nearly qualify as one.

“Certainly, Odin you remember how to use this one correct?” Zeus asked with interest after all, no Druid’s have been alive since back when Odin was considered the Great of Gods. That was before Zeus fractured by the Roman Empire thankfully after they fell Odin and Yahweh helped fix Zeus. Since most fractured Gods become twisted and fall becoming a Dark and quickly Evil Gods. Unfortunately, it has happened a few times a Gods become fractured when a new religion is created and the Pantheon is created by stealing existing Gods and renaming and restructuring said Pantheon. Thankfully once Zeus was fixed, he was able to fix the rest of his Pantheon with the help of Odin and Yahweh.

The old man who would easily pass as an elderly homeless man. Wearing a green tattered robe that if you were to pay attention the holes were moving across the robe always staying in view of a person in the room but never merging or crossing always staying on their side and moving in such a manner to stay in a person’s blind spot and allowing Odin the ability to keep his ever seeing eye on each and every person in the room. The cloak itself may look like a simple thing but has the effect of blocking any and all nonphysical attacks also blocks all divination on Odin. Odin begins each of his steps with a twisted stick that ends in a claw like shape holding a seed the size of a giant’s fist. The walking stick that used was actually a gift from the Yggdrasil tree itself most think that its just a simple Ash tree, but the tree is actually multiple trees wrapped around itself this is actually part of the secret to how the tree connects all the different realms. The seed is actually a special seed it is a Yggdrasil seed it can and will grow a new Yggdrasil. If the Realms come into danger or the tree itself feels endangered.

Odin stepped up to the pool and began to search for a Druid. At first, he thought he found one. He found for a split second a young red-haired Irishmen with a large dog but as soon as he peered down at him the man looked up and put on a necklace of iron and he disappeared. Odin thought something was interesting about that man but right now he was needing to find a key to stop an invasion of Brane Defenders for the Rift repair. Even though he is fairly sure he recognized the man. However, Odin refocused on finding a possible Druid.

As Odin was focusing with his empty eye socket on the pool power began to well up in the socket light green in color began to form an orb. Once it began to appear solidified then what appeared to be fire randomly flared up across the orb. As the fire began to coalesce into a singular flame in the middle darkness began to shape around the flame and dull the light given off by the whole orb. Said darkness began to spread across the orb till small drops of water began to ping off of the darkness surprisingly pushing back the darkness. As it bounced it left behind pieces of light that showed field of flowers if you could look close enough that was then bouncing around in the orb equaling out the darkness. Soon enough the colors began to form small orbs of themselves green on top red to the lower left of the green and continuing all around till the light one was to the right and under the green. When that finished the whole thing crystalized. The extra energy used to crystalize the orb in his once empty socketed flowed over Odin making him younger yet again.

Freya of course seeing all of this was worried at the extremely large amount of energy Odin was using to create the possibility of a new Druid. Till she saw the youth return to Odin. She then stepped up to Odin laid a hand on his shoulder to help hold herself up. Then a knock came from the door of Zeus’s room. Freya was pissed at the door as she also got a touch youth firming her up but instant dryness at the knock.

Zeus looks to all the different Gods in the room and all shake their head. Zeus waves his hand toward the door and the door opens. At the door taking a knee with what looked like a bamboo staff being laid out in front, and both hands flat out to either side on the ground looking down was an Asian man of mid-twenties wearing all black. Zeus was about to call out to the man when Yahweh placed a tentacle on Zeus’s shoulder and spoke out to the man.

“Oyashiro, what are you doing back here did you not take a dimension for yourself?” Yahweh called out putting everyone in the room at ease.

Oyashiro nodding his head in acknowledgement before he spoke, “My Lord, I came as soon as I finished speaking to the possible demi that appeared in my dimension. I wished to know where he came from and see if it was another invasion attempt. When I stepped through, I recognized this world and quickly sought you out and found you here. I hoped to ask what is going on.”

“Oyashiro, take your weapon and rise you are amongst friends. Toward your unasked question we ourselves have not a clue of how this happened there are no signs to where the tear originated.” Yahweh spoke openly and plainly. Leaving the demi float in the air to see whom my know about this, and hoping Jesus had nothing to do with it as Yahweh had in younger years.

Zeus and Odin both look toward each other. Odin having to look up toward Zeus a bit to ask an unspoken question. Hera and Freya both look toward Zeus and Odin each looking for hints as well. Then all four turn toward Oyashiro not finding any answers in each other. Odin opens his mouth to ask the question that all six were wondering. “Do you know whom the parents of the child are?”

“I can not speak of whom the divine parent is as he is too chaotic the boy doesn’t even contain a Surname; he is just Richard however I did take the liberty to copy the jewelry that all his siblings and human parents were wearing.” As the young man rose, he picked up the bow staff sized bamboo and pulled out a parchment rolled up and handed it to a young man that was very similar to Jesus and said; “My Lord.”

Almost everyone in the room at seeing the young man in peasant clothing being addressed as my lord hesitated. This was the first time both Norse and Greek gods seen Yahweh in human form and surprisingly when they looked toward each other and back Yahweh was still in the same form they had become used to the lack of stability that Yahweh held. When asked once Yahweh just simply stated; “You can not see me because you don’t believe nor want to believe.”

Now before them was Yahweh in human form. Zeus had to ask; “Why now?”

Yahweh turned toward them and the freakiest sight was bestowed upon them. Yahweh had no face; Yahweh might as well have had a Valley ball with a hand print on it for all the good this form did for them. Then things got creepier the head acted as if it had a jaw flexing with no opening. “You still can not see me fully you do have some belief but you still do not want to believe. One day you will have the needed faith I have hope in you.” Each of the Gods heard Yahweh but not like a normal conversation it felt more like Yahweh was whispering this “secret” to each and everyone of them with a slight difference that made it personal.

Yahweh stepped over to the massive desk and unrolled the scroll. The desk came up to Yahweh’s chest making comfortable for him. Each of the Gods and Goddesses came over to the desk Freya had to hop up to sit on the desk to see. Hera was able to see over the desk as the desk was just above her breast. Odin was just a foot shorter than Yahweh. Then Zeus stepped up to the desk and the desk was at his stomach level to him. Oyashiro was the shortest as only his head and neck was above the desk. Jesus was also just a foot shorter than Yahweh.

All of the Gods looked over the scroll to see drawn on it. Yahweh asked, “Was this on a pendent with them opposing? Or just individual tokens next each other?”

Oyashiro answered; “they were on the same pendant but I do not believe they were opposing.”

“Hmm, so an acknowledgement with a blessing too, interesting. Freya my love call Aegir, Zeus would you call Eris so we can ask them both.” Odin read the symbols and quickly knew what had happened but was surprised how was boy a demi if both were of divine.

As soon as Odin said those names Zeus had a shiver go down his spine just thinking of what this meant just remembering Troy and the apple that caused it. Not to mention Eris son Strife which usually follows her closely. However, Zeus had not seen any major sources of Strife in the world in the last twenty or so years. While Zeus was going over all of this in his mind both Hera and Odin asked the same question, “Where was Strife during all of this? Isn’t he always only a single step behind Eris?”

Freya then spoke up; “That bitch! Jana, is this why?”

At Freya’s outcry Every God and Goddess felt a garden of emotions flow over Freya never quite settling on any one. But what she said is what caught them all off guard.

Hera could not help but ask the question; “Freya how do you know that Goddess she is Roman afterall neither Norse or Greek.”

“Her and I began talking more together since I needed someone share with that would not share with others. Not even Odin which then meant someone beholden to any of these heads here. Hence the Roman Goddess Jana best part female so she understands more.”
