Chapter 4 - Golden Apple

Logan appears in Asgard as he walked on the Bifröst when he meets Heimdallr who was guarding the bridge.

"It's been long since you visited, Godking," says Heimdallr surprised to see Logan in Asgard.

"I'm here to talk to you all since I want your assistance in a matter of importance to me," says Logan as he walked forward while Heimdallr made way for him.

"The All-Father is waiting for you in his throne room," says Heimdallr as Logan then disappears after taking a step and appears in the throne room finding Odin sitting on his throne.

"Havi, it has been long since we have seen each other," says Logan as Odin stood up from his throne.

"Why are you here this time?" asks Odin nervous.

The last time he saw Logan was when Fenrir was taken away by him. Odin still doesn't know what happened to the Wolf making him fear every day that it would return.

"I'm here to give you a proposal. I delay Ragnarök for your people and you all gift my new student some of your powers. I will even revive your dead son, Baldr. Now, what do you say?" says Logan as Odin was thinking that the offer was too good to be true.

"And with all you mean?" asks Odin as Logan smiles.

"You learned from our last trade. I mean from Æsir, Vanir, and Jötunn. But only those that are considered as Gods by Mortals. They will all profit from it so they should contribute to it as well," says Logan as Omega appears in Logan's hand.

"How long will be the delay this time?" asks Odin as the sky was slowly turning red.

"Another two centuries. I would accept it since Ragnarök will begin soon," says Logan as Odin was thinking about what to do now.

"I will accept," says Odin when Logan smiled and he pierced the ground with Omega.

He turned the time back by two centuries making the sky over Asgard turn blue again when Logan then pulled Omega out of the ground and the two-hander changed to the katana named Alpha.

Logan cuts the air making a portal appear and Baldr leaves the portal with Abigail when Logan says, "Thank you for allowing me to bring him back."

"Don't worry, you allowed me to bring my child back once so granting you this favor is small," says Abigail as she released Baldr and left again to watch over the dead.

"Now I hold my end of the bargain now it is your turn. If the others don't want to help you tell them I will arrive and they will regret it since they won't see the next cycle. And if they think I'm joking ask them if they can remember what happened to Mjöll," says Logan as Odin seemed confused.

"Who is Mjöll?" asks Odin as Logan smiles.

"Exactly, you don't remember her since she was erased from existence. She was a Jötunn that thought of herself as important so I erased her to show her that she wasn't and now no one remembers her. Tell them that the same will happen to them and they will comply since Ragnarök is better than that fate," says Logan as he smiled before he vanished leaving a nervous Odin behind.

Two years passed since Kai's training began and it was time for Odin to arrive at the Masters' Mansion. He was wearing normal clothes to not look suspicious as he walked on Midgard.

He knocked on the door and Ben opened it. Ben looked at Odin and was confused to see an old man knocking on the door while Odin took a closer look at Ben and could tell that he had Norse Blood in his veins.

"No wonder that Logan asked for our blessings. Are you the one called Kaiser from the lineage of Masters?" says Odin as he looked at Ben.

"No, he is my nephew," says Ben nervous since the man in front of him knew Logan's name.

"Can you let me in then? I have a gift for the boy made by all Nordic Gods. Logan asked me to gather the blessings of all Gods for the boy and now I came to deliver it," says Odin as Ben let him in.

"To tell you the truth this world has changed since the last time I put a foot on it. The last time I was here was around the 6-8 century going by your calendar. We had a big war around Edda back then," says Odin as Ben was guiding him.

"Edda? Like in Norway's Edda?" asks Ben as Odin nods.

"Yes, your lineage also comes from there. I could feel it the moment my eyes laid on you," says Odin as they walked through a corridor.

"My Ancestor Graham and his wife came from Norway and changed their names to live in England. We found out recently that his wife was a Volvo-," says Ben when Odin interrupts him.

"Völva not Volvo, she was a Seeress, boy. She could communicate with us, the Nordic Gods, and ask for advice. There were not many with this gift back then and lesser exist now. But that explains why you have Runes on your body," says Odin when Ben was confused that Odin knew this much.

"Which God are you to know all this?" asks Ben as Odin laughs.

"Right, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Odin, son of Bestia and Borr," says Odin since he didn't need to mention his title by seeing the expression Ben gave him.

"The All-Father," says Ben as Odin nods.

"The one and only," says Odin as he could feel Logan's presence and says, "I think I can find my way from here."

"Of course," says Ben not believing what he heard when Odin leaves his side.

Odin arrived at the courtyard finding Logan sitting on a chair with a woman while watching a Viking train with a young boy that seemed to have only right years. He approaches Logan when a chair appears beside Logan making clear that Logan already knew of his arrival.

"Is that the boy?" asks Odin as he sat down.

"Yes, that is my student Kai. He is being trained by someone that you should feel a connection to since you both are the same person," says Logan as he was good with axes but wasn't a master since he doesn't put any effort into it.

"She is me from another World?" asks Odin as Logan nods.

"Yes, she is Eivor of the Raven Clan. In her world, Ragnarök already happened and you decided to try and reincarnate in humans but your other you was quite unlucky because Eivor didn't want what the Odin over there offered him," says Logan as Odin passed his hand through his beard.

"My other self sounds like a madman to me," says Odin as he couldn't believe that.

"Anyway, have you brought what I asked of you?" asks Logan as Odin puts a golden apple on the table.

"We all infused a blessing in the apple. He only needs to eat it completely," says Odin as Logan picks up the apple and takes a look at it.

Odin was quite relaxed when suddenly a portal appeared and Alfred came through it with Loki in chains.

"It seems you really don't know what is good for yourself, Trickster. Or maybe I wasn't hard enough on you gods thinking that the old rules made by my father were too barbaric. But it seems that those rules are the only things to keep you all in line," says Logan as Omega appeared in his hand.

"But maybe I should change one rule of his completely," says Logan as his aura manifested.

"I shall punish you not with the Warrior's Realm but with eternal extinction. That way everyone will forget that you even existed," says Logan as he stood up and hold the apple in his hand.

"Or are you going to do as I asked of you all," says Logan placing Omega on Loki's shoulder.

Loki purred his energy into the apple before Logan cut his arm off while saying, "This is your warning. You will walk forever like Tyr with one arm. Be happy it wasn't your head."

Omega disappears again and Alfred takes Loki away while carrying Loki's arm as it would become a trophy and warning to the other gods. Odin was shocked by seeing that as the woman beside him didn't even notice what happened.

"I didn't know that he faked it," says Odin defending himself as Logan smiles at him.

"Don't worry, if I really wanted to punish you, you would have been punished already," says Logan as he snaps and the invisible barrier around them disappeared.

"Now how about you hand him over the Apple," says Logan as Odin was nervous around Logan because of what happened and walked toward Kai and Eivor.

Kai stopped as he saw Odin approach them when Rebecca asks Logan, "Who is that old man?"

"Odin," says Logan as if it wasn't a big thing making Rebecca's mouth open wide.

Odin stood in front of Kai before he placed a knee down so they would be at the same height when he stretches his hand with the golden apple out.

"Kai, you were chosen by us, the Nordic Gods, to receive our blessings. We poured it into this apple. Once you eat it you will be able to talk to all of us and even use some of our powers," says Odin as Kai looked at Logan who nods at him.

"Thank you then," says Kai nervous as he picked the apple up and bites straight into it when Logan appears behind him.

The divinity begins to flow into his body and Logan helped Kai to control it with Odin so Kai wouldn't explode from it. Eivor who was standing beside them could feel that his student was releasing immense power at the moment so could Rebecca who was sitting at the table.

Once Kai was safe Logan and Odin stopped stabilizing him and Kai opened his eyes again. He didn't feel any change at all until he took one step and the ground suddenly had cracks on the ground from the new strength Kai gained.

"How did this happen?" asks Kai as Logan began to laugh from hearing that.

"You just gained inhuman strength. You now need to learn how to control your strength as we all did. We don't want you to hurt anyone that doesn't deserve it," says Logan as he pets Kai.

"Now how about we begin anew," says Logan as he began Kai's training anew this time focusing on his physical strength and not magical.

"Will I still be needed then?" asks Eivor who wanted to return to her world.

"You still owe me five years," says Logan as Eivor sighs.

"I should have just let Ælfred kill me back then even after I helped him," says Eivor sarcastically while lifting his shoulder.

"We both knew you wouldn't let him kill you. You needed a way out and I gave it to you," says Logan as he petted Kai's head.

"You should leave Havi or do you still have something to say," says Logan looking at Odin when Eivor looked at him as well.

"I will leave right away," says Odin as he disappears as Logan would normally.

"Now then back to training Kai," says Logan as he helped Kai in controlling his strength.
