42. Two Sides one Coin
They got back to the hotel, and she had them go in through a back entrance. He wasn’t wearing clothes and she had blood all over her. She didn’t say much to him and once they were in the room she went right to her bag and grabbed some food and ate it, needing it.
“If you want the demons that work for Surt. You’ll have to go to the den that they belong to.” She said to him, glancing over her shoulder. “I heard it in the demon's mind, he knew a couple names, but not what den they belonged to. They had contacted him, Surt is or was still in this country. I doubt he will be here for long. It sounded like he’d rather not engage you. He’s more interested in Fenrir.”
“I’m sure he is.” He commented. Well at least he got more out of it than feeding. Or she did.
“He didn’t know what den, but this demon works mo

Mortal's choice 43. Short Talk
“If I could have bitten it I would have.” Jormungad said to the screen. This was interesting, this video chat. He could see his siblings. He hadn’t seen their faces in millennia. Only heard Hel’s voice, which she was the one to ask if he could get at the ring by biting it. They were talking about his issue and whether they should meet yet “From what I have found, which you said the ring is made of iron?” Serenity gave a nod. She was sitting cross legged in the chair that he stood behind. “The magic of iron is that you can control size. It’s properties were used in the past to trap giants in controllable size. Also if you shift you might be unable to keep form for long. Kind of why chains were made out of it, strong. Imbued with magic it will only let you get so big. Your body knows this. If you got larger it would slice into your neck and kill you. Or if you push the boundary of the magic in it.” Well tha
Mortal's choice 44. Second Den
They were standing outside a casino and she looked up at Jormungand. The place was bright and loud. There were a ton of people all over the place. This was not a good place to go crazy and turn into a sixty foot serpent in her opinion. There were also innocent people here, but his gaze didn’t seem to notice that. The man had a one track mind and it was kicked into destroy. Be rid of those who were a problem. He went to step forward and she touched his arm for a moment. He stopped but looked dangerous and she stopped touching him right then. “Subtle? Let us try it, it might get you farther.” She commented. “What harm will it do?” Because she’d like this over with. She’d like Tamara and Max to be able to sleep at night. Even if they too had siblings with them, at least they seemed to be having an easier time of it. “Fine, show me if you think it better.” She mo
Mortal's choice 45. Serenity's Revenge
Jormungand felt amazing and sore at the same time. It sucked that he couldn’t keep his giant form for extend periods, but he had eaten or sucked the energy out of all those in the other room. He felt pretty damn near full. He'd been stabbed and shot a few times, but that would heal. A couple of the wounds were bad, but with the influx of energy he was going to be fine. He’d moved back toward the room Serenity had been in after killing two more. One having stabbed him in the side, the one thing he hated about this flesh. It was easy to damage. He saw Serenity on the floor and the demon over her, she was struggling with him and the demon struck her. He just rushed forward and took the demon right through the wall. He could smell a bit of her blood and it wasn’t acceptable. She was his charge at the moment. This son of a bitch didn’t have rights to her or to harm what he promised wasn’t going to come to harm
Mortal's choice 46. Using Portals
Serenity just learned something new about Jormungand today. Apparently he could travel wherever he wanted to go so long as there was a portal. She never gave a thought about the fact he could span worlds and what that meant, but she had mentioned flying. How long it was going to take to get to Las Vegas. Not exactly exciting for her, she’d spent the morning catching up on some requests. Even knowing that world ending beings were here, the rest of this reality was still moving on with normal lives. So she had to too. He’d oddly sat on the bed eyes closed meditating while she worked. He didn’t respond to her when she asked things so she gave up and got some work done. She still needed to get paid, the world was still moving on even with what she was doing. She jumped when he spoke finally. All of a sudden he got up and told her that they weren’t going to be fly
Mortal's choice 47. Cat and Mouse
Serenity was not happy right now. She had to climb out of a canyon and then they walked six miles before Jormungand forced a car to stop. They just took it. She didn’t even protest leaving the couple there on the side of the road, but they did leave them water. She drove and she drove fast to Las Vegas. Neither spoke, he had pulled some metal bar out of his shoulder and it was still bleeding, it wasn’t closing. He was holding a shirt he found in the back seat to it. They parked the car in a back lot area and then got out. “Here, let me see it.” She said when they were standing at the back of the car. He didn’t have clothes. He stared at her for a minute and she made a motion. The wound was nasty looking, and still bleeding. She didn’t get why. “What’s wrong, why isn’t it healing?” She asked. “I’m sure it was coat
Mortal's choice 48. Need of Water
“Look, this place is not going to be easy.” She told him showing him what she had of the place. What she could dig up. She even got into the records. This was a den that had existed for a very long time. There were multiple types in there, not just demons. The entire place had levels that were set up, and based on the very limited intel they had people that could sense what others were. “If this place is with Surt or coming after mine, then it will be taken care of.” He commented, though it would be easier if he could be his actual size and just demolish the place. “As far as we know there is one demon for sure that knows anything. Antonio and this one he calls home, but he is working with Surt. So he may not be here, then what? At some point they are going to catch on, and with the ring you are at a disadvantage if they become ready for you.” She
Mortal's choice 49. The Small Moments
Jor was staring at the back of her head as they walked however. She had this happier bounce to her step. A kind of chipper air to her as well and he frowned. He’d heard what she said about her suffering, the fact she was kept by demons. She even killed the one with cost to herself physically. Yet here she was happy with the agreement they just made, she had smiled a few times. How did she find life worth anything with what she had seen? How could she argue with him about it? What disturbed him more was what she said about his siblings. He wasn’t going to lose them like she said. Though he thought about it, he thought about what he felt for them. How long had it been since he’d willfully reached out to them? It had been a very long time until he felt Fenrir wake and Hel’s presence. He’d thought it meant it was finally a start, an end to this miserable existence. Maybe he had been pushing away the one thing
Mortal's choice 50. Searching to Understand
Serenity got a lot done, and was keeping tabs on incidents going on. Things she needed to look for. Actually right now it was kind of nice, she was sitting in the shade here and he was gone back out in the water. She had no idea what had gotten into him. It wasn’t like he was a changed person, but since coming here two days ago he was definitely a little different. At least in demeanor. She was okay with that, they had gone back to the city that first night and he’d been silent. Almost brooding, but she was happy. It was great, she got an entire day. Then when they got back he stopped in the entryway and looked at her. This look came over him and he spoke roughly. “I am going out, I want to look at things. You can stay here.” She was so shocked by the declaration he made that she was just standing there holding her bag as the door shut. He was leaving her alo
