Requiem of Wars Part 3

~

When you awoke at sunrise a gentle knock came at the door.

You fixed yourself up and opened it to find Hermes standing there.

"Good morning" he smiled courteously.

"Good morning Hermes" you nodded surprised to see him here.

You were curious for what brought him to your door.

"Someone requested that you accompany them to breakfast" he gestured for you to follow.

You were a little startled wondering who it might be.

Loki.. you wondered.

You felt a little guilty that Hermes got dragged into this.

"I deeply apologise for taking your time"

He looked at you and simply smiled.

"It's of no worry dear. I'm a messenger God therefore I feel it's my duty"

You still felt guilty as he guided you through the halls.

You were startled when you rounded the corner to spot Odin seated at the golden table.

His bored expression glanced your way.

Hermes walked forth and drew out your chair for you to sit on.

You were nervous for it was right beside Odin's.

He simply waited for your approach.

You didn't desire to keep him waiting and hurried over.

Hermes politely tucked you in after you thanked him he left.

The table was covered with extravagant fruits and foods.

He hadn't touched it but merely sipped at his usual glass of wine.

It's strange, he often drank yet didn't show any signs of it.

You gulped nervously awaiting him to speak.

You worried he had found out of your little quarrel with his son last night..

"So today's match I presume will be quite entertaining." he stated with hardened eyes.

It dawned on you where Thor got his intense looks from.

"Indeed. I look forward to it. I think we all know who the victor will be though" you looked down.

He was silent.

"And what if it's not" he suggested.

You looked up in surprise.

"Do you think otherwise?" you asked in surprise.

"The mortal Adam came close did he not?" he questioned.

He wasn't wrong and you drifted thinking of how similar in power Zeus were to Odin.

You were quite aware Odin's name being on the list of the fourteen combatants.

Your look grew with worry and he picked up on it.

"Do you doubt my capabilities?" he asked startling you.

"N-Not at all!" you almost blurted. You hadn't intended to come off like that.

To your surprise he smiled ever so slight while taking a sip from his golden chalice.

You felt the air escape you as you realised he were messing with you.

"I want you to accompany my son for the third round" he brought up.

You looked over in surprise.

His gaze were unwavering and you were unable to hide the slight blush which dusted your cheeks.

"He often spends too much time in solitude. Your company shall bring warmth" he declared.

You bowed ever so slight accepting the order. Gathering that he were finished speaking with you, you excused yourself from his table.
