"AND where in the heavens are you going, boy?"
A sweet yet venomous voice suddenly said. Is that an elf, also? The one who suddenly spoke? I wanna give her a clap. She got some angelic voice. Too bad, elves are not my type.
"I'd rather stay out of this place than be with elves who are heartless."
My voice laced with so much unknown emotions. I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm really, really hurt. She laughed. Her sweet laugh thundered through the whole place. Everyone fell quiet. They were bowing their head as if a queen suddenly sat on her throne.
"You're making me laugh, boy...so, you're thinking that I'm an elf?"
It's only a matter of seconds when her voice suddenly changed into something more serious... and lethal.
"Who are you?"
"Why don't you turn around,then?"
I grunted. Is she kidding me? Obviously, I'm trapped in this container-like dungeon, or room, or whatever. She laughed again. Is this woman seeing me as a joke? She's been laughing from gods know since forever. Or maybe, she's crazy. A lunatic.
"I'm sorry, I forgot. Your current situation now... is just too far from what I've been expecting. Seems like, there's something wrong with the prophecy that I'd read."
Seriously? Is this woman really crazy? Well, I saw her shadow. She's standing on my back and I can feel a heavy presence. She towered over the elves in this room. She's no elf.
"Are you crazy? You've been saying nonsensical things. As if I care. Duh."
I wanna roll my eyes out of annoyance. This woman seriously screwed her brain up. She needs to see a psychiatrist.
"Shut it, boy. You didn't know who's the one you're talking to. Your tongue seems so sharp, I hope I can do something about it hmmm...?"
I didn't say a thing. I'm not scared, though. I just find talking to this lunatic a waste of time.
I pulled myself up so that I can get out of the box type dungeon. I wiped the dirt and dust that clung unto my jeans and messed my hair. I'm stressed. My goodness!
"You're quite a scenery, I see."
I looked up and saw a girl wearing an armored bikini. Suddenly, I remembered, Galgadot, if I'm not mistaken, that's the name of Wonder Woman.
As if I care. Duh!
"What do you need?"
I asked her in an asshole-lic way. They ask for my bratness? I'll give it for free. Just because I was born with a rare talent called stupidity doesn't mean they the have right to degrade me. I'm still a human, even if I'm all dead, and my body's rotten six feet below the ground.
"Well, I need you to come with me..."
"And where in the heavens is that place?"
I crossed my arms and looked at her sternly. She just flipped her hair and rolled her blueish-green eyes.
"Valhalla."
She spoke the word with so much adoration and respect. Of course, who wouldn't be? That's the realm of the Gods of the Gods. That's where the one-eyed dude live. That's where Odin abode.
"If I'm not mistaken, these inconsiderate elves here..."
I pointed at them one by one. And what a thick-faced elves! They all made a face and gave me their default grumpy look!
"...make it clear that I'm not worthy to step on that place called Valhalla."
Ok. I'm being bitter. Who wouldn't be? Of course its only me.
The inborn stupid Kristoff.
"Yes. You're not mistaken. You're not really worthy enough to set foot on that place. But..."
"Go on?"
"Odin wished for your presence. Tomorrow will be the death anniversary of his beloved son, Balder."
"So there'll be a party?"
"Yes. Be the guest. Be his guest."
I crossed my arms and raised a brow. Huh! I'm not easy. You have to get me first.
"Stop being a brat and just go with me, idiot."
I gaped at her. How dare her say those things to me! She needs to act nice if she wants me to cooperate!
"How dare you? Who do you think you are?"
I heard a sigh. A very very deep sigh. Of course, where would it came from? From Sidir or Sindri or Sinrid whatever.
"Don't make Arkrinna mad, you dumbass. Just go with her and get this over with."
"Who am I? I am Arkrinna, the valkyrie of the South. I have a lot of things to do and you're aWho am I? I am Arkrinna, the valkyrie of the South. I have a lot of things to do and you're an excess package. A waste of time. Now, let's go and hurry up."
"Rude."
"Thank you."
"It's not a compliment. It's an insult."
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever."
"I'm not going..."
She smirked. Huh! That won't scare me.
"I'm losing my patience here..."
Then go away!
"Lose it. I don't care."
I kept my face straight. I really hate scenes like this. I'd rather go and take care of my own ass.
"This might change your opinion."
Even before I can process things, a very very smooth yet metallic hand landed on my face. I stepped backward before stumbling on the ground.
"The better."
A spinning, smiling face of the elves came to view. That is the real definition of scary. So terrible... so undefinable.
"Sindri..."
"Yeah?"
"You have to come with us."
"Yeah. I know. I'm stuck with this cuckoo brain, idiot."
This people really love to make fun of me. I can't believe I'm dealing with this kind of shit right now.
Things like this are much weirder than growing up without parents. Growing up without someone who'll make you feel love. Growing up without anyone who truly understands you.
Growing up without knowing where'd I got this rare talent of mine.
A CHILLY sensation ran down my spine. The air blew angrily on my face and my hair's totally disheveled. I can't see things clearly. Is this what a punch from a Valkyrie can do?
Note to self:
Beware. Sexy girls have deadly fist.
I need to keep my space from now on.
I rubbed my eyes. It's just a matter of seconds when things got clearer than crystal.
What lies below the clouds are mountains of unknown. Its too dark and I can't say what creatures walk in there.
And a matter of seconds later, I saw two orbs. It reminded me of the eyes of the Valkyrie. And if you're asking where I am? I am being dragged in the air by my kidnapper.
And a matter of milliseconds later, I'm trying to break free and hear myself shouting. I looked up and saw the elf grinning at me devilishly.
"What the crotch? Get me out of here! I don't wanna fall! The unworthy fall into oblivion would definitely break and crush my bones to pieces! Get me up! Help you inconsiderate elf!"
I threw Arkrinna a piercing stare. But the beast in disguise just looked at me and laugh! They're making fun of me again!
"Bye, bye. Kristoff! See you in a million years later."
And she let my hand go.
"Noooooooooo!"
If some gods might hear me. Please don't let me die... again.
