Chapter 121 - Sigyns Determination (1/2)
Theoric at this moment was feeling extremely remorseful for killing the creature. Calling Sigyn over he simply stared at the creature, but he knew if he went back, he would still have done the same thing. He tried talking to the creature but it seemed like it was a mindless thing that just wanted him dead at the time.
Arriving with the others, Sigyn seeing Theoric upset, headed straight over to try and make him feel better, though she was confused by this. He no longer seemed like the same Theoric she once knew, but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. He seemed to care more for life which made her happy as she was never a fan of his wanton killing past and his thirst for battle and power.
Living in Asgard she came to accept his more brutal side, but having always lived behind Asgardians walls, ever safe, she grew up less a warrior as most would and more a regular person who just wanted to live a happy normal life.
Sigyn- ”Theo, What's wrong?” Sigyn asked feeling confused, first the whale and now this creature, his change was becoming more noticeable. The thing that confused her though was that after someone hurt her, Theoric would be more than happy to end its miserable little life without exception, so it was strange not seeing him happy about putting the perpetrator down. She was starting to wonder just how great this change was.
Without looking away he answered- ”It spoke in the end, it sounded pitiful, it sounded sad, it sounded like it was betrayed, controlled to come and fight us.”
Sigyn gasped holding her hand to her mouth- ”Oh the poor thing, It's okay Theo, you didn't know, it attacked us without saying anything, it attacked me, it's not your fault.” she said patting his back.
Theoric could only sigh before turning around to meet with the others.
Sigyn seeing how hard this change was becoming for Theoric wished to help him. She didn't like seeing him so sad and feeling wrong, she didn't want him to regret his new life choices. She wasn't sure if his new changes were good or not, but she would love him anyway and would do her best to help him.
She decided to head for the creature feeling this was her chance to finally provide aide for Theoric. She knew a warrior like him would never have considered healing an enemy he put down, but there might still be a chance to heal the creature and give Theoric a much-needed confidence boost on his new path.
Reaching out her hands, feeling the smooth icy cold green scales, hands glowing green to match as she activated her healing power. She saw how damaged it was on the way over, practically missing an entire chunk out of a 24 some foot-long leg thanks to Theoric's attack and self-mutilation in an attempt to stop it.
She could feel now how damaged it was on the inside, but a grin soon replaced her horror at what it must have gone through and why Theoric was so sad, she could feel the smallest amount of life.
Determined to see this through, she mentally prepared herself as she kneeled down, shining brighter and brighter as she powered up to her max like never before in her endeavor to keep this creature alive.

Meanwhile, Theoric was talking with the other ladies, not forgetting to thank Holland for her help with a nice kiss before realizing he now had to give Io and Anna the same treatment if he didn't wish to be glared at for a long period of time.
That left Nina who didn't really do anything, but Theoric couldn't just leave her hanging as he went over to give her a kiss which she accepted fully aware of why he did it.- ”Why? I didn't do anything.” she said after he finished.
Theoric could only wryly grin at her trying to come up with something- ”You know moral support is also very important, I wouldn't want to die knowing I would be leaving such beauty all alone.”
But it backfired as Nina paled, what would she do if she was left alone again, would she be doomed to fall prey to others all over again.
She glanced at Anna who still carried her bow, she wouldn't allow that to happen, she didn't want to stay on the side and be useless, and she didn't want to be a victim again.
Walking up to Anna she held out her hand- ”I would like my bow back now.”
Anna instinctively held the bow closer, not wishing to give it up,- ”Are you sure? Remember it was Athena who made this.” she said trying to talk Nina out of it.
Nina gritted her teeth- ”Yes and she gave it to me, probably in some morbidly foolish bid to get me to forgive her.” she spat.
Anna scowled- ”How dare you, you would have never met Theoric or Sigyn if not for my mother, you should be thanking her.”
