Chapter 16
Indra inhales deeply as a bitterly cold darkness envelopes her as she enters Limbo. The ground is covered in an icy blanket and she can feel the cold seeping through the souls of her shoes, traveling up her legs. Indra can hear harrowing screams and terrifying growls, somewhere in the distance.
As her eyes gets used to the darkness, Indra realizes that this world has neither a sky or a horizon. Far away, she can make out the serrated silhouettes of something similar to a forest, but she knows that it cannot be true, that there is only an empty black darkness.
An outlineagainst the backdrop seems to be getting closer, its alive following her scent in the air.
The creatures of this world know she's here. Indra can hear their raspy labored breaths and feel the hasty movement of large number closing in as the frozen earth trembles under her feet. She increases the white yellowish light in her eyes to maximum strength and shift her vision into night-sight.

Indra makes a grand entrance into her friends' room. The crunching noise from the glass shards under her feet echo loudly through the small quiet dormitory in Asgard. The room is round in shape and has walls of roughly sawn logs, like so many other buildings in the world of the Viking.The two men shout when they discover Indra's figure. They jump out of their beds and dive for their swords, swinging them just inches from Indra's neck. She ducks and throws herself backwards into the broken mirror.Vimar is the first to realize that it is Indra they are attacking. He swings his sword again, and the long clang of steel against steel rings out as he stops his boyfriend, Brage, from handing out a fatal blow towards their friend."Damn it, Indra! We could have killed you," he screams, trailing a trembling hand across his forehead."I know, I'm sorry," she stutters, unable to move.They stand silently looking at each other for a brief moment, breathing h

"You've let me down, Laurin! You have let me down more than any other god or creature that has ever walked this earth!" the oracle Ophelia screams in a pitch so high that his ears become blocked."But dear sister, she ran away! It was impossible to prevent. And you knew she'd get her powers back. It couldn't have come as a total shock to you," Laurin insists. He knows it's his fault somehow, but he still can't help but wonder. If he could have prevented it? Indra's powers are both stronger and more unique than he could have ever imagine."But that she managed to escape from you so easily..." Ophelia strikes out with her hands, from where she’s standing in the middle of the gloomy basement. "That's what I can't understand, brother. And while you were asleep, too."So, it is down here that my sister keeps all her potions and magical spices," king Laurin thinks, casting a quick glance at the mighty scared wooden table in the middle of the room. It is over flo

After much persuasion, they convinced the god Heimdall to bring them into the human world. He was able to take them as far as the outskirts of Romania, but the rest of the way they had to manage on their own.As a child, Indra had visited her grandmother on the Swedish island of Gotland several times. At one point at the age of eight, she had persuaded her mother to bring her best friends Vimar and Brage to spend the summer holidays with her at grandma’s house. Indra knew to some extent how to behave among humans, but disaster had struck when her friends had been allowed to meet with ordinary mortals.Vimar had snuck with him his sword and axe, despite repeated lectures from Indra's mother, Rebecca, that such weapons do not exist in the human dimension and especially not around kids. On the first day, Indra's grandmother had taken them to a playground, but neither Vimar or Brage understood what to do there. Indra explained that you could play on the swings or cli

Indra remembers when Cain first started courting her. It was on her sixteenth birthday and her parents had organized a party in Odin’s great hall, in Asgard. All the Vikings had been invited to celebrated that she had become a woman.During the party, Odin had taken her aside and given her one of the jewelries that hung around his broad neck. It was a gold ring necklace, with beautiful patterns of thousands of tiny gold beads. The ring itself was hammered like braided rope and two small bullets met on each side, forming a perfect, closed circle.Odin told her that the neck ring was called Havorringen, a name she had to promise him to remember. He gave it to her as a gift to protect her from the dangers of both human and demigods. Indra also had to promise to never take it off. It was a promise she kept. Not even Lucifer had tried to take the neck ring off her in the months he'd held her captive and tortured.It was there in Odin’s Hall that Cain had

Cain gets up and walks up to her. He lets one hand trail along her back while the other grabs her breast."You're a very beautiful woman, Indra," he growls in a low tone, looking deep into her eyes.His words send waves of heat throughout her body that gather in her most privet parts. He bends down and lifts the thin slip over her head. As she stands there, naked and at his mercy, Indra becomes aware of how much larger his body is than hers. Her head barely reaches his shoulder and his veiny arms are almost wider than her waist. His hands are big and tanned against her pale skin and she can feel her blood rush through her as he moves his hands down towards her flat stomach.His erection presses against her waist and his pants can no longer hide his hardness. Indra stands there in broad daylight, exposed, vulnerable and fully aware of his caressing hand and the radiating heat that fills her core. The fact that he's still fully clothed makes her feel a little inse

Lucifer's demon-like form appears in the doorway. He's barefoot and smells like ash and smoke. His arms hang relaxed along his sides, the pale skin reveals all his defined facial features, from the bushy eyebrows and the powerful jawline and squared chin. His whole body radiates power.A warm breeze from the sizzling desert outside makes its way through the room and lifts his cape like black wings. His lifeless eyes bore deep into Rebecca's. She backs away to create more space between them."As beautiful as I remember you," he purrs, but nothing on his face reveals what he's thinking. She can only guess.Seven steps forward and stands in front of her and stares menacingly at his father."Where's our son?" he growls."You can have your son back," Lucifer replies, "but then I insist that you hand the girl over to me."Seven makes a sudden outburst and a flash of silver and gold flickers through the air. Rebecca gasps for air, as Lucifer pushes

Vimar fights against the rope, he throws himself back and forth with frustrated grunts where he is tied to the tree trunk.Brage grunts at him to be quiet so he doesn't attract the demonic creatures, Indra just looks at Brage and shakes her head at Vimar. She swings her legs and kicks him hard on the shin. He squeals and looks bewildered at Indra, before she nods towards the campfire and The Army of Cain that’s gathered around it."Shut up, you idiot. You're bringing them here,' she tries to mumble through the fabric in her mouth.Cain has forgotten one important thing when he captured them, and that is that Indra's powers are in her eyes – not in her hands that he has tied or her mouth that he has gagged. She tries to smile despite the cloth. Brage smiles back and immediately understands what Indra tries to communicate. Vimar looks confused and doesn't seem to have realized their plan yet.Brage is trying to speak through the cloth. "Just tak

"Harald!" shouts King Laurin.The steward appears and bows deeply before his master."He's majesty?""Ask Hilma to pack supplies for a week," he orders.Harald nods and disappears towards the kitchen.On his way to the bathroom, Laurin undresses. He leaves a trail of muddy clothes behind. A warm bath has already been made up for him and he can't help but be impressed by how effective his staff are. He sinks into the bath and feels the tender muscles softened by the warm water. A little sigh eludes him when Harald shows up with a glass of whiskey."Thank you." Laurin waves him away with his hand, brings the glass to his mouth and sips on the golden-brown liquid. He lets the effect of the strong content burn right down to the stomach, tilts his head back onto the edge of the tub and closes his eyes for a moment.Thoughts drift through his resting mind.
