《Between Gods And Mortals》Chapter 15: Punishment
Advertisement
Four years have passed since such events between giants and Asgardians, peace is not completely established, it can be said that a transition process with battles and negotiations taking place between the other kingdoms. Ivar has yet to return from Midgard and has not sent any news since. Which makes Odin, Thor and Loki anxious and worried. Disobeying the king's order is almost a betrayal, not to mention that he has to obey rules during his stay in Midgard.
The presence of one of his strongest subordinates is felt in battle through the morale that Ivar had under his command, his prominence in the fight and finally in political matters, in which the voice of soldiers is of great importance for the military improvement of the kingdom.
Due to this, Odin orders Loki and Thor to travel to Midgard, find and bring Ivar back to Asgard. The king believes that something may have happened and so he sends his two sons to his rescue. Odin gives enough information for him to locate him, before he left he had basically confided in everything he experienced on earth like the military hospital and Doctor Michelle.
The two accordingly go to the bifrost and direct it to the last mission location Ivar went to, assuming he had great affection for that town. It wouldn't be surprising if he was there after these years. The bifrost light shines brightly and both are teleported to Midgard.
Ivar watches the children playing in the street in front of a house, he smiles and looks at it calmly. A woman appears behind him and hugs him, who would have thought the day would come when the brave Asgardian warrior would let someone else do this to him. A few years ago he would have been dead.
You are always watching these children playing… Do you by any chance want to have one? Of course! I never thought about it in all these years... You should think because I want to. And I want his name to be Mike! There's no way you can change it! And what do I get? The last name is just what you choose! um… how about Mike Bragieir What is it ? Another custom of your people? Bragi means wisdom and eir is peace. I want him to know how to balance the two to find the peace it took me so long to find Damn!
Ivar looks at his wife Michelle and takes her hand and kisses her. In these four years that have passed, Ivar has not only acquired knowledge of the world, he has come to see himself as one and has even taken root here. He made friends and even lives with the doctor Michelle. Michelle kisses him on the cheek and leaves for her next shift while he will be alone at home.
Having a child with a human is a crime liable to horrendous punishment for those who do it. Despite wanting so much to reap the rewards, he knows he can't and it would be dangerous for Michelle and the future baby if he did.
The ancient warrior deeply forgot his duties as an Asgardian and soldier of Odin. He preferred Midgard to Asgard and never thought of his punishment. In all these years he had never felt so alive and happy. He managed to get a job thanks to an ex-military man who shared experience together in the self-help sections at the hospital. And now Michelle and they are getting ready to have a baby.

The land did a lot of good for Ivar, who some time ago thought of dying in combat. Now his concerns are with his wife, getting money for survival since just like in Asgard you work to survive and earn coins to spend on whatever you want. However, humans spend a lot on what gives pleasure or will bring temporary pleasure, which can make it quite futile.
Life is simple, but he is extremely happy. The fact that he doesn't have to worry about wars and killing someone helps. Ivar thinks he doesn't want to go back to Asgard anymore, to that old life of pain and suffering. The now ex Asgardian wants this common life forever.
However, Ivar knows that one day his past will knock on the door and he will have to resolve this as a man. He knew that if he went back to Asgard he wouldn't make it back to Terra anytime soon and everything he built would be lost. And now he loves a woman like never before and has no intention of abandoning her, coming back four years later would mean he would be banished from the earth for years or eternity. Price he is unwilling to pay. The ancient warrior finds himself at a dead-lock.
Later that day, the bang is heard outside, with lightning falling from the sky that was once blue and clear, now cloud-laden and thundering, and the lights in Ivar's house begin to blink, the familiar feeling and that he knows exactly what it means. His past finally came to him. Ivar knows that Odin and Loki want to meet him and don't seem to be happy.
Ivar knows very well where to find them, where the bifrost dumps when traveling ashore. He goes there and meets Thor and Loki next to each other. Who speaks first is the eldest son of Odin.
We need you in Asgard! Our father asked us to rescue you! I'm fine here! I want to stay longer! Do you know what you are doing? That means treason, you could lose your rank for it or at worst die! Of course I don't want to die! I want to reach a consensus with Odin and the council to let me live here on Earth! How absurd! I can not believe it! Very well brother! Let's take this request from Ivar to Odin! We'll take a few days and we'll meet again here! Right!
The Asgardians take opposite paths and Ivar returns home, who is greeted with happiness stamped on his face, but sees her husband, shaken and sad, who changes his facial expression also according to his man. They sit in the living room when she asks:
Ivar, what happened? I've never seen you like this! Looks like you saw someone die! You know my story, don't you? I told you everything! It's hard to believe, but I don't care! This is our life now. - Michelle hugs Ivar who leans on her shoulder. In fact, it won't be just us now. There will be three! What ? Yes, I am pregnant!
An explosion of joy envelops Ivar, who will be a father for the first time. And the mother is the person he loved most in this life, and the baby to come will be loved in the same way. The request for Odin and summit has a good chance of being approved, provided that certain conditions are met. What the ancient warrior is willing to do to stay on earth. Crying turns to joy.

A few days pass and stronger than normal storms appear. That means Thor has arrived and again wants a date. Ivar went to the location last time and saw Thor visibly bruised and bruised on his face. The conversation between him, the king and the dome must have been warm. Loki was also there beside his brother.
What was the verdict? - Ivar question It has been decided that you will be able to stay in Midgard as long as you have all memories related to our world erased. Both you and the human you live with! What ? Michelle too? It won't do any harm. She cannot undergo memory loss because she is weak and could die as she is carrying my child!
At this point, Thor goes on top of Ivar and punches his ex-partner several times. He is angry at Ivar's speeches. The wounds he carries have something to do with the matter. Only one person could beat Thor and leave him like that. And he's his father, Odin. He beat him because he is against Ivar staying on Earth.
Do you know how much trouble you brought? For my father, kingdom and mainly for me? These brands are thanks to you! And now you carry a child? Thor, stop! - Says Loki Not! - Thor draws his mjolnir and scares Loki away who is unconscious You're playing house while your people die every day! You don't deserve to be an Asgardian!
With Mjolnir against Ivar at his throat and with nothing to protect him. Thor is under full control and was unable to draw his sword in time to defend. The blonde reaches into his pocket and pulls out the artifact that is used to erase people's memories. An old punishment that fell into disuse for being too cruel.
Odin provided this solution so that you would not die for your crimes! Erase your memories and those of your woman partially! But I will destroy everything! Everything that is yours will be taken away! No, Thor! Do not do it! Aaaaah. It's too late brother! Goodbye!
Thor's act is accomplished. Lightning shoots out from Mjolnir preventing Loki from approaching and paralyzing Ivar. He puts the artifact on Ivar's face and he feels all the pain of having his memories sucked away. The plan was for it to be just the memories about Asgard and her past. Keeping only Midgard for the past few years.
Thor is out of control and very angry, he has already erased what he owed, but keeps erasing more and more memories of Mike. Loki tries to get rid of his brother's rays and stop him. If the Asgardian blonde continues with this, Ivar could die. As an act of desperation, Loki shouts:
Brother! Stop! He will die! Ivar is still a member of the Asgardian military forces. If you kill him you could be expelled, imprisoned or killed! Ugh…
Thor suddenly stopped and Loki was relieved, while Ivar was passed out on the ground without moving but still breathing. Even so, now he has no memory of all these years of life, the worst punishment you can have is not remembering who you are or your past. Everything from him was taken by Thor. Loki kneels down next to Ivar who puts his hand on his face and even a tear falls from his eyes.
Do you have any idea what you've done? Have! And is it not enough? What do you mean ? The father will punish you as severely as possible. He had a wife too! We have to kill her then! No, you've done enough! She's just a normal person and you know the rules for not messing with human affairs. We can even be killed! Enough for today. Thor… you punished him way beyond necessary! Not! - Thor attacks his own brother with Mjolnir and raises his ax towards the sky. Thor! What will you do? - It is impossible for Loki to stop his brother without the use of physical force, he draws his sword to the clash when Thor screams. BIFROST!!! This man must be exiled from Asgard forever! Your past and present no longer belong to you! Noooo!
A portal opened and Thor threw Ivar there and quickly closed it. Powerful magical weapons like Mjolnir and Gungnir can use Bifrost to link realms and reach unknown places across the world. Your power is sufficient for such a feat. Ivar was thrown into some realm that would be impossible to survive and no chance of being found. There are thousands of uncharted places and worlds out there. Ivar could be in any of them.
Loki goes towards his brother angrily and hits him several times with his sword, Thor on the other hand shows no defense or counter attack and accepts all blows. The Asgardian blonde's eyes are sunken from what he just did while Loki was crying and angry. Thor held Loki's hands and looked him in the eye saying:
I did what had to be done! I will be responsible for everything! By the gods… You made it all worse!! Didn't think about the consequences! What's done is done!
Thor turned his back on Loki and called Bifrost again to return home, Asgard. Unrepentantly, he leaves Midgard behind and Ivar isolated in some unknown place. The Asgardian prince practically sentenced him to death, without his memories he cannot fight the beasts, dangers and maybe even other men he encounters.
Hatred and envy consumed Thor who did this to the man he had once called his mate. Ivar in his view was a traitor and that is why he had such a fate. The blonde only loves those who are from his land, outside of them he is an enemy. In the case of Ivar, a traitor.

Cultivating Earth [Hiatus]
[This fiction is on indefinite hiatus. I'm currently acting as a 24-hour caregiver for my step-father who had a massive heart attack. I apologize for disappearing so quickly, but sometimes that's just life. I'll return as soon as possible. Sorry everyone!] Zhao Gang, after hundreds of thousands of years cultivating, has finally reached the penultimate threshold. He is ready to ascend to the level of True Immortal. Driven by the need for a place his enemies won't find him, Zhao Gang puts together an audacious plan. He has developed a revolutionary new formation which will allow him to ascend while on even the lowest planes. To avoid drawing attention, he has to choose a plane that is relatively desolate, however. He chooses Earth. Fast forward three thousand years. Zhao Gang discovers what his work has wrought - a cultivation-free culture that has delved the deep mysteries of creation - he can't help but think how this tiny little planet devoid of natural energy could affect the course of all creation. There's only one problem. For that to happen, he has to succeed in cultivating Earth. Notes: Chinese names should be ignored in the social context - they don't mean anything. Sorry for slaughtering such a beautiful tradition. This novel starts off slower than most. If the slow-roll isn't your thing, you might want to give this a pass. If it's not for you, I understand. Also, releases may be broken up into smaller chunks. The goal is 5k words, but definitely more than 4k. If you see a short release, be aware that more is probably coming. I'll be honest and say that I'm struggling with each new scene, if only because I want to balance the scope of vision with good pacing. I hope the work I put into it is worthwhile.

Incursions
This blurb concerns Incursions book 1: Incarceration. If you could buy superhuman abilities, but they might kill you—or worse—would you do it? Ten years ago, in a world not so different from our own, people with powerful abilities appeared. The new powers were dangerous, dangerous to acquire—dangerous to have—dangerous to wield. World governments raced to find and eradicate the abilities and those who possess them while using the media to rule by fear. Whereas corporations sought to exploit the abilities for profit. Raz Owens was living the dream - a rising star at a job he enjoys, a girlfriend he loves, but it all comes crashing down when Raz disregards his late father's advice. He is pulled into a chaotic underworld of clandestine labs, shadow organizations, and super-powered criminals. Used as a human test subject in a place where few survive the day, he must last long enough to escape. His only advantage? A power that seems nearly useless—a heads-up display. Contains: monsters, violence, death, dismemberment, gamelit, superpowers, superpower consequences, good guys, bad guys, good guys who might be bad guys, bad guys who think they are good guys, good guys that might go bad, bad guys that might turn good, guns for hire, competence, incompetence, continence, incontinence, conspiracies, and some of what I just said wasn't true. This story is written in third person limited POV. That means you can expect to know many of the thoughts and inner dialog of one character, and only see the actions of other characters. This POV does include scenes without the main character, and thus the reader can and will know things the main character does not. Further, this means characters act on what they know, which is almost always less than the reader knows. Something else to know. These books do not hold your hand. If you're reading it and thinking "Gosh, why aren't 'they' doing some 'obvious' thing." Bad news. You probably missed something that explains exactly that. If you're seeking a light read that doesn't ask much of you as the reader, you're invited and very welcome to come on in, but this might not be the story for you.
