The guardian of the worlds had the power of karma, he is able to give a person the result of his deeds. Like he did to the lady who was threatening him, to call the cops. Little did she know, her life was tied in his fingers. The gatekeeper can punish people with black karma. But he can't do anything to the people with white karma. The people whose karma is neutral or white can't be touch. Moreover, the gatekeeper is like a human in front of them. When it comes to black karma, even gods won't be safe in the guardian's world.
The Guardians existed to keep the world safe and to punish the black karma.
Apart from the karma powers, he was also a strong being, who can destroy half of the planet by swapping his fingers. Only strong beings were qualified to become guardians.
The gatekeeper smiled,
"I can tell your karma and what will happen to you in the future. But it won't be free"
When Oden heard this, his eyes shined. He wanted to accept the offer right away. But he had nothing to offer.
"what can I do for you ?"
The gatekeeper told, "Well, you just have to answer a question truthfully"
Oden was feeling something amiss about this. He made his mind to play it safe.
Oden had already met King Syra, who could easily hear his thoughts, this gatekeeper looked scarier than her, who knows if the gatekeeper could control him. Or even worst?
He asked,
"Can I hear the question and then decide, ?"
"Of cause, you can. But before answering the question, my parrot will sit on your head, to verify your answer, Oden. Do you agree ?"
Oden nodded his head, directly saying yes,
The parrot went and sat on his head, now Oden looked straight into the gate keeper's eyes.
The Gatekeeper's lips moved,
"Tell me the races of your parents?"
The gatekeeper wanted to know his race but went his powers didn't work. He couldn't get to know his mother's race. Oden will have the same bloodline as his mother. His mother was strong enough to injure the gatekeeper. No one has that kind of guts. There are chances that his mother had white karma. But she should have guts to try killing a gatekeeper.
And the second thing, her son was here, the gatekeeper can kill him, with his powers. The gatekeeper didn't plan to kill Oden but surely he would punish to take his revenge against his mother.
Oden on the other hand didn't know anything.
When he heard the question, he was dumbfounded, Oden was more overthinking, that the gatekeeper may ask his relation with the God of Chaos.
But his guy was more interested in his parents.
Oden answered,
"Both were humans"
Guardian knew he was going to lie. That's the reason, the parrot was sitting above his head. But the gatekeeper frown, when he saw the parrot was nodding its head, saying he is telling the truth.
This made the gatekeeper more pissed off, his mother may have lied to his son.
But what kind of a mother hides the race of his son, ?
Whatever, it was time to punish Oden, the mere little infant,
All the cards came flying towards them, they arranged themselves in between them. The flying cards were upside down, both of them. Can't see the number on the card. They were laying on an imaginary table. The table was not present. But it felt like they were laying on it.
The Gatekeeper explained,
"These are magical cards, they are only used for karma. There are two colors, white and black. White represents good deeds and black represents the bad once. The number on the card will tell the intensity that is from 2 to 10. The other three cards won't do anything for you. They are mostly used to kill the black karma."
Oden was nervous, he looked at the cards.
All looked the same, he couldn't make out which to choose.
When he was going to choose, he felt the gatekeeper's aura. It was odd. It felt as if it was somewhat coming from himself. Oden realized that it was his karma. That was coming out.
Oden gulped his saliva. He looked at the cards. He had a bad feeling that something bad was going to happen to him.
As he touches one of the cards. The card glowed and raised up leaving the other cards laying.
As the card raised up, it was the ACE!
When Oden saw the ace, he felt relieved that whatever it is, whether its black or white. It's close to neutral.
But the Ace was black and white. Half was black and the other half was white. It was high in front of their faces.
Oden looked at the gatekeeper. There was a frown on his face. He was displeased with the ace.
But didn't know whether it was good for him or bad for him.
Oden was watching the card in the air.
Suddenly the black and white color turned into a skeleton. With a knife on his hand.
The card turned towards the gatekeeper. The Skeleton moved its knife.
Oden was able to see the skeleton from the back of the card. He had no idea what was going on.
The Skeleton moved his hand and placed the knife on his neck and gave a smile to the gatekeeper and Oden. It killer itself.
As soon as the knife moved from his neck, the card started burning. In a second, it turned into ashes.
This was the first time the guardian had experienced something like this. As if the karma itself is protecting this guy, sitting in front of him. Skeleton in the card was saying that it can and will kill himself before Oden's karma can harm himself.
This may sound crazy but it was scary for the gatekeeper. His own powers were betraying him in front of this mere infant.
He didn't dare to punish him now or think of hurting him.
