Chapter 330 - 330: Vanya The Daughter
"That's enough…
children"
"!!!"
Her his body several tiround of Muspelheim As for Vanya, she quickly retracted her fist as soon as she saw her father catching her fist
This was the second time this had happened, and this was also the 2nd ti in front of her before it was too late She had already seen the speed he was capable of earlier, but now that she was experiencing it upfront, it truly was quite a surreal experience
Throughout her life, her speed had always been her strong suit-- so she knew she inherited from her father, and his father before him She was told stories of how fast Hermes is as a bedti that her mother had told her was how they met, and their awfully brief rorowing up, she had a strange hatred for her father-- for not being there when their mother needed therew to longing Along with Ymir, the only people she knew in the first years of her life were Artemis and Athena-- in almost a literal sense, they lived in complete isolation
They were the only people she had known
All she had were stories-- she wanted to hear more about her father, but his story did not even last a year She wanted to hear more about her mother's life, but that too reached an end Vanya had an unnatural power, a power that she did not really explore to its fullest because of her also unnaturally weak body
She was born with a sort of deficiency-- is what Athena called it That is why she sleeps enitors, only waking up once she fully recovers Perhaps without her lineage; without her inheriting her father's power, then she would have already probably died
After the tenth year after Ymir and she were born, Artemis and Athena finally decided to explore the ale of it, but the 9 Realms did not start as such, there were only 5 of them, and the distance between each of them was dramatically shorter than what it is now
The distance was short enough… for her h to reach another Realular name-- the Branch
In fact, most of their history had been obscured, or otherwise unknown As soon as they stepped out to the light, elcomed them Vanya's h ti from a war between the Aesir and the Vanir-- which were still considered as a single race back then
The four introduced themselves to the world; and perhaps in a twisted turn of events, they also introduced the Aesir and the Vanir to the world as well-- as the Branch allowed their war to reach the other Realms Their war expanded hundreds of years, and each ti more
Theirinnocent and pried into a war that they alloas too h to destroy worlds, turning 5 into 9
And so, they once again chose to live in isolation; just watching the beings of the world otten how, she had already forgotten when-- but she and Ymir fell in love
Artemis was opposed to it, of course, as she wanted to prevent the Olympian's incessant obsession with incest But partly, it was her fault, of course, and she admitted it She had isolated her children to the world with no one else to lean on but themselves-- she put them in the same situation as the Olympians
And from Vanya, were born 6 children 6 children that would then populate the Realh the years to coroever, as their birth took a toll on her body She woke up, only to find hundreds of years later that a whole race was born from her-- a race that also hid themselves from the world, the Forest Giants
Soiants broke fro their race to the 9 Realms At one point, they were considered a myth, but as always the case, with time-- the world was finally shared with them
They were able to create children with the other races, but none would have their tree-like features and would always follow the other race's characteristics There was one bloodline, however, that always somehow persisted
The bloodline of one of her 6 children, for some reason unknown to even Athena, was always able to produce a single offspring that would always be identical to her and Artehout time and tradition, the women in that very bloodline were treated as shamans, priestesses, or princesses They all shared the saave birth to them-- even dwarves
None of them could explain why, until now They were a path
A path that would one day lead her father to her
She had experienced countless things in her lifetime;
