THE LAST DESCENDANT

Chapter 3./ 4

Chapter 3.

So, I had to go back to the private lagoon of the Gods, which would probably be empty and with no one around.

She told the doctor that it was impossible for her not to leave a contribution to history, because sooner or later this had to happen; and her comment was a compliment to the doctor, who told her that the shape-shifted mass was appearing.

I did not know how to swim and the water was too deep for me to reach that door, however, I was forced to take the risk and I threw myself into the intense light that emanated from that lagoon…

Dionysus, who had been following me stealthily, jumped behind me, both of us falling in the middle of the war between Norway-Denmark and the United Kingdom, who looked triumphant thanks to the nordic warriors led by their reckless god Odin, who despite being bathed in the blood of his enemies, was captivated by the look of panic emanating from a beautiful, good-looking young woman, who appeared out of nowhere, immediately drawing his attention and leading him to think that she had been sent from the Heavens to test his magnificence and balance…

Odin was considered the wisest god of all, but he still had to go through and overcome some very exhausting initiation rites. For example; he had to sacrifice his left eye to drink from the Mimir Spring and thus be able to access universal wisdom.

Therefore, Odin became the god of past knowledge, thanks to the water he drank from the Mimir Well; of the present knowledge, thanks to his two ravens, and of the knowledge of his throne and of the future, thanks to the gift of seeing the destiny of men, which the Goddess Freyja taught him. In addition, he drank the mead of poetry, becoming the great inspiration of poets.

Odin is shown as the god who on many occasions gives shelter, refuge and encouragement to the god Loki, who was a trickster par excellence, but who after the murder of his son Balder became one of his worst enemies, not caring that before the death of his son, Odin was his companion in adventures, entanglements and deceptions, often directed against other gods, or against giants and dwarves to clearly appropriate their treasures or their properties.

Odin is also a shape-shifter, capable of altering his form to his liking.

 However, it is said that he likes to travel and see the world disguised as if he were a one-eyed old man, dressed in a long tunic and with a grey beard.

We must also mention the Norse god Gungnir, who wore a wide-brimmed, dark blue, pointed hat and a dark blue coat. With his spear as a staff, Gungnir acted in the world of men as an instigator of conflicts, which he achieved by simply throwing it between two people.

The god Odin also appeared in the most fearsome way, appearing under the name of Wotan, a name that means "fury." Under this name he is the lord of the Berserkers, warriors dominated by the fury of battle. 

This group of Odin worshippers are those who, in the eastern Germanic peoples, on the other side of the Rhine, have given rise to the myth of the werewolf over time.

In his warrior aspect, Odin commands his warriors on the back of his eight-legged horse named Sleipnir. Thus, he participates in the wild hunt (Åsgårdsreien), in which he, several gods and the Einherjar, his warriors fallen in battle, manifest themselves on the night of December 21 with a great noise of hooves and neighing, making a great battle and a brutal hunt of animals, to finally have a great banquet on Yule Day, which is celebrated on December 22 of each year, where he participates accompanied by his wife Frigg and his two wolves, Geri and Freki. 

And woe to the unwary who tries to come between him and his wife Frigg, because he will never return to the world of the living, but at least he will enjoy the paradisiacal life in Asgard.

Odin, intrigued, forcibly takes that young woman who seemed rude and unfocused, to give her to a valkyrie and order her not to let her escape and to keep her guarded and locked in her chambers until he arrived.

For his part, Zahyir did not know that every time he traveled through time, not only did his IQ grow, but she was also involuntarily absorbing all the powers, gifts and wisdom of those gods she had previously visited.

Then, in a desperate attempt to escape from Odin, to defend himself, she took an axe that was hanging on one of the walls of the room, although she believed she did not have the strength to lift such heavy weapons.

At dusk, the god Odin appeared, imposing terror on the young woman, who, seeing him covered in the blood of his enemies, felt more panic and decided to beg him to set her free; this request caused much laughter to the warrior god, who, however, threatened to take her as a woman if she did not turn back and sponded his questions.

Odin.- ¿Who are you, where do you come from and what is that rock you carry in your hands?

Zahyir.- My name is Zahyir, I come from Heaven and I was sent to put an end to the wars that you orchestrate.

Odin.- ¿Who the hell gives you the right to command me and tell me what to do? Well, I am the great god Odin, lord of lords and the most feared warrior by all, ¿do you really think that I can be tamed by a girl like you?

She answered him:

That remains to be seen, idiot, we will see who tames who, answered a defiant Zahyir…

Astonished at what he considered a great blunder on her part, Odin began to approach her recklessly to intimidate and corner her, but she did not hesitate to try to raise the axe to threaten that impulsive god, who after taking her arm by force said to her: If I do not have you, no one will.

Zahyir.- I have no owner and I am not afraid of you, ¿do you think that you scare me because you are bathed in blood and sweat and you stink of death? Well, I am not afraid of you, you big idiot…

Upon hearing these words, Odin began to remove the animal skins that covered his body and reveal an almost perfect body, but not even with all his glorious appearance could he captivate that beautiful woman who was only thinking and analyzing a way to escape from that room.

 Immediately, Odin orders one of the valkyries to prepare a bridal chamber for him to consummate the union with her; and that is how that reckless god Odin momentarily leaves the room with the uncertainty and desire that this woman provoked in him.

For his part, Zahyir notices a window behind a frame full of weapons and runs to look out, discovering that the god Dionysus was waiting for her outside, who had hidden himself after eluding the vigilance of the valkyries and warriors who guarded the place.

Then, she decides to venture out and jumps through that window, falling into the arms of Dionysus, who decides to run with her to the woods to escape from the reckless god Odin; who at that moment returned to the chamber being able to see how she fled from her room with that slender young man to the woods, and without further grace or plea, Odin shouts thunderously making Dionysus and Zahyir stop to listen to a deal that he imposed on her.

This deal consisted of if during the night he caught her in the vastness of the woods, she would be his wife, but if she managed to escape from the woods, at dawn he would accept her terms without any reproach.

Chapter 4.

Zahyir accepted this deal without fear of losing, because she believed that she could outwit Odin along with Dionysus.

It should be noted that at the moment of being absorbed by matter, she kept everything in an orderly set of how she had entered that day to work, including her peculiar smell, which was a captivating and seductive fragrance to the nose, what her trail would be to be found by Odin…

The night was intense and Zahyir already felt that she could not run anymore, because she was exhausted, in addition, she saw how Dionysus disintegrated before her eyes, leaving her totally alone and apparently helpless.

It was obvious that she would lose the deal with Odin, but at that time, a call from Dr. Jackson again stressed to her to stop distorting history, as now a statue of her appeared in Norway and Sweden as the magnificent woman who brought peace to the continent and proposed the Charter of Union of July 1397.

The Kalmar Union was a union between countries of northern Europe; specifically, it included Denmark, Norway and Sweden. ¿Why is knowledge of this union important?... Because it helps to understand the relations between the different countries, as well as the importance of trade in the Baltic Sea and the control of the Strait of Sind.

The Kalmar Union meant an attempt at political and territorial union of the kingdoms of northern Europe for economic and geopolitical purposes.

Due to internal and external causes, the Kalmar Union did not become consolidated over the centuries, which would have meant the existence of a great political power in northern Europe.

I seemed to suddenly fade away, which is why Dr. Jackson feared that I could not return, because sometimes the mass disappeared for long periods of time and when it reappeared it was very weak and it was difficult for him to maintain total and algorithmic control over that mass.

 However, with a hacked database, he had managed to maintain the stability of the matter, but it was not conclusive that it would turn out that way, and that, therefore, I had to return to the place where I appeared the first time in Norway and go through the door as soon as possible before the matter became intangible again.

She did not remember how to return to that place where she appeared in the middle of the War, but she knew well who, if she remembered how to return to this stage, so she chose to let herself be captured by the god Odin in the hope of convincing him in some way to take her to the desired place.

She then decided to let herself be seen by the reckless god Odin in order to reach as soon as possible the scene where she had first appeared in Norway.

Matter is an extension of memory, so, she could learn and absorb everything, because it was really strong and that is why she could resist any force that could be emitted by the mass within the matter or any antimatter; therefore, she reflected on some advice received from the doctor when he told her: 

Trust me with your life, that this will reward your trust and thus you will be able to do much more than you yourself believe you can do.

The doctor continued saying that the crazy ones open the paths that could later be traveled by the wise, and that perhaps, talent is a good measure, it is a question of insistence; that there should be no room for passions in the hearts of people because it is forbidden to ignore problems, not fight for what you want and not give up everything for your fears; nor should you fail to make your dreams come true, since we all come into the world fighting, because life itself is not a continuous succession of opportunities to survive, and success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm; failure is a great opportunity to start again with more intelligence, as Dr. Jackson repeated to me over and over again, demanding that I not try to transform myself into a successful woman, but into a woman with dignity and clear values.

Remember that friendship is a treasure in which we all have interests; remember that if what we seek gives different results, do not always do the same; do not let the enemy perceive your weak points; remember that peace requires four essential conditions: truth, justice, love and freedom…

Heroes cry and such a thing is an indicator that they are alive, that they are mortal and that at certain moments they can cry like any other mortal.

Heroes are very clear about this matter and are happy to see and feel things that concern them and that all produce mixed feelings after such experiences. 

Remember Zahyir Marina, these are the heroes and you cannot waste the opportunity to become the heroine of history even if you break the entire timeline; and if you want to break it, then break it as many times as you want; I no longer know where you are going or where you are coming from, nor do I know when you will return to the present, but while you are in the past, remember that you will become a heroine, a goddess, a queen, or a powerful empress and a sovereign who will be adored by many and feared by all; and always remember also, that it is better to be feared than loved.

 So, when you return I will have the courage to say that I have met the first woman who does not exceed the limit of youth and who breaks all standards of beauty, managing not only to absorb their traditions, their languages ​​and their dialects, but who was the first to appear in an important battle, always being the last of the soldiers to retreat from each battle. 

Thus, the Zahyir of whom everyone spoke in the past and now in the present, was the only one who managed and is managing to impose herself in history, making her name not only remembered with love and admiration, but for her humility and the human simplicity that she learned from a very young age…

After reflecting on this, I began to react by deciding to talk to Odin, since all this about heroes, about what I can be, what I am going to do, and about the course my life took from the moment I was absorbed, my mind changed completely.

I already know how to persuade Odin, so I sat down under one of the trees in the middle of the forest, let him come to me like a hound, and when he saw me he smiled and said: I found you Zahyir and it hasn't dawned yet; then I deliberately said to him: let's make a deal, I will guide you to influence the successful implementation of the peace treaties and how the nation can be established again efficiently; and in exchange, you will take me right now to the place where I first appeared here in Norway; Odin accepted, reminding her that the cost of sin and betrayal is death.

Since I had nothing to lose, I accepted, noting that when we reached the door, the light was just beginning to appear, so Odin fulfilled his part of the deal and I fulfilled mine, establishing both unbreakable bonds of mutual help and solidarity without limits in time, which means that when I need him, he will come to me; and when he needs me, I will go…

I said goodbye to him with much affection and then jumped out the door, but I fell into East Asia when it was made up of several countries, among which were China, Japan, Taiwan, Korea and Mongolia, however, it did not seem to be the Earth, but rather it was like a second heaven, in which I could feel myself.

I noticed that several historical figures from Asia were familiar to me, as if I had met them from somewhere, so I asked them who they were…

They answered: We are the sacred masters of Asia, lords of China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Mongolia, please allow us to introduce ourselves…

China: I am Ao Guang(敖广), dragon, king of the eastern sea in Chinese mythology, I am the chief of the four dragon kings, father of Ao Ping and I manifest in all kinds of animal and bird forms. In some traditions, I am occasionally referred to as Ao Kuang, Kuang-te, Lung Wang, Hung Sheng, Four Dragon King, Ao Chin, Ao Jun or Ao Shun; and I am considered a great warrior in my human form.

I am the dragon god of the eastern sea and I dominate the storms and seas with my great claw strike, but it is true that many times I boil with rage because of the continuous dishonors and disdain that happened before.
