Vol 2 Chapter 18: Odin & Rossweisse
YESSIR!!!
Gate to Babylon EX-
A reality marble where "Gilgamesh" is boosted up in strength from entering Babylon. He can fire every weapon in his treasury at once if he chooses. Others without the title of "Gilgamesh" can only see the walls as gold infinity and will be unaware of where any attack comes from. (None of the weapons will require the slight delay to shoot out). On top of that, when inside the reality marble, every weapon from the king's treasury is automatically buffed to EX rank. On top of all those buffs, everyone "Gilgamesh" deems as an enemy, gains a debuff that shuts down any skills, spells or magic when inside his reality marble.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After spending time with my peerage and friends, I was suddenly pulled aside by Serafall who said there was someone who wanted to have a word with me.
Y/n: "Who needs me?"
Odin: "It's me Mr. L/n"
Y/n: "Oh. It's you Odin. What do you want?"
Rossweisse: "Is that really how you should be talking to someone who supported you?"
A woman beside him facepalmed while being annoyed by my tone when speaking to Odin.
Y/n: "I don't particularly like gods"
Odin: "Pay it no mind Rossweisse. It's understandable for Y/n to be against us gods given the set of events he's had when up against them"
Y/n: "I'd say it's also hereditary"
Odin: "Ahaha!! Truly your father's boy"
Y/n: "You knew Gilgamesh?"
Odin: "Indeed. I actually met him before"
My eyes widened the moment he mentioned meeting Gilgamesh.
Y/n: "How?!"
Odin: "He came looking for me"
Y/n: "For what?"
Odin looked a little down as he sat down and offer us a seat.
Odin: "Your father came to me about a week before you all took on Kama. He had explained everything to me. Gilgamesh knew he was going to die that day due to some sort of magic he called Clairvoyance that helped him see the future"
Thinking back to those days before the grand battle, I remembered not seeing him often. I always took it as he was probably goofing off with X somewhere.
Y/n: "To think.. he knew what was going to happen-"
Odin: "He told me that if he mentioned anything about it to you, you would of done everything in your power to keep him away from fighting"
Sirzechs: "Y/n, if it wasn't for his sacrifice, we wouldn't of gotten Kama weak enough for you to finish her off"
Y/n: "I know that!! I'm not pissed at the fact he didn't tell me"
I felt a hand on my back as I felt my emotions about to burst out.
Y/n: "He knew he'd die.. and still acted as if nothing would go wrong. He still smiled through it all when I'd see him with X!! He smiled through it when he was around me!! And fought without a care in the world about his impending death!! He had that thought in the back of his head and still pushed through it all without ever uttering a word or regret about it"
I felt another hand on my shoulder while Serafall came around and embraced me from in front.
Serafall: "He knew but he did it because you are here. He did it to protect you and everyone he cared for"
Odin: "Then one day, he told me about what he saw"
I slowly picked up my face as the grim looking Odin's face began to shine with some hope.
Odin: "He told me that he saw a future"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gilgamesh: "I saw a future.. I'm not sure if it's the one this one is heading for but.."
An image of the boy he would slowly come to love as his own flashed before his eyes.
Gilgamesh: "But I saw him.."
Odin: "Who?"
Gilgamesh: "My child"
Odin noticed that absolute joy in the King of Heroes' face when talking about Y/n.
Gilgamesh: "He was.. happy. He'd become such a fine king and warrior. Someone destined to become worthy of the Throne of Heroes.. he'd accomplished everything he wanted to do and saved countless lives"
Odin: "Is this why you are pushing him to make a legacy for himself? To make it to the Throne of Heroes?"
Gilgamesh: "That was the only future I saw where he had everything he wanted. The people he loved happy and with him, stories about his adventures and the people adoring my boy"
Odin: "I see why you'd be happy but why come to me with all this?"
Gilgamesh: "Because in that future, I saw you teaching him"
Odin: "Me?"
Gilgamesh: "I also saw a Valkyrie of yours in there"
He says while looking at Rossweisse who had come to them with some tea.
Rossweisse: "Here are your drinks. If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to call for me"
Once she exited the room, the two went back to their conversation.
Gilgamesh: "I want Y/n to follow in that path. For that to happen, I need you to be there as his teacher"
Odin: "If that's what you ask of me, I don't mind it. I'd love to teach the boy who'll save the world one day. That being said, would he not miss having his father though?"
Gilgamesh: "He'll be fine. He may grieve for a few days but he will come back. My son is not weak. He is the child of the King of Heroes"
He proudly stood up from his chair.
Gilgamesh: "Besides, he has others who will help Y/n heal all around him. That Azazel mongrel will be someone very important in his life from what I can see and so will Sirzechs.. Trust in me Odin, my son will be fine in a world without me"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Y/n: "Gilgamesh.."
Odin: "That is all he said before leaving"
Sirzechs: "So that's why you wanted to see him so much?"
Azazel had his eyes on Y/n before looking up to the sky.
Azazel: "I'll take care of him for you"
He whispered to himself as he goes back to the conversation.
Odin: "I'm not saying you have to-"
Y/n: "If this is what he saw.. then I will do everything in my power to see his future become a reality"
Rossweisse: "He's got his father's eyes"
Odin: "And not just in the color. Those eyes are full of absolute determination just like his"
Y/n: "If my father wanted you as my teacher, then so be it"
Odin: "Very well then, I'll happily take you under my wing then boy"
He kept looking at me with as smile full of sadness. He picked up his hand and put it over my head.
Odin: "You look just like your father"
I nod as we hear a knock at the door.
Sirzechs: "Who is it?"
Rias: "It's me. Everyone is waiting for you guys to show up"
Y/n: "Well be there in a minute"
I turn back to Odin and extend my hand out.
Y/n: "Though I may not like gods, I can say you aren't that bad. If my father accepted you, so will I"
He took my olive branch and shook my hand as he thought back to the conversations he and the King of Uruk would have.
Odin: "I'm happy to have had this conversation with you Y/n. Here's to a wonderful future"
We head off back to the party but Odin stops me just before saying he had something to give me.
Y/n: "What is it?"
Odin: "*clears throat* Y/n, this is Rossweisse"
Rossweisse: "Pleasure to meet you Y/n"
Y/n: "Likewise"
Odin: "As a sort of alliance gift, I'd like you to take her as another warrior to your peerage"
Y/n: "Huh?"
Odin: "Let me add that it could also benefit her. She isn't that well with men"
Rossweisse: "ODIN!!"
Odin: "I'm just trying to help you. She's never had a boyfriend so could you help her change that?"
Rossweisse: "STOP!!!"
She smacks him behind the head while heavily flustered.
Y/n: "*sighs* So you're one of those types of people?"
Odin: "*chuckles* Sometimes, you got to enjoy the little moments in life you know?"
Y/n: "You have a point"
I turn my attention to the valkyrie and look her over.
Y/n: "I can sense a great deal of magic and power coming from you. I'm sure I can find a use for you in my peerage"
Rossweisse: "I'm honored to fall under your name. I'll do my best to live up to whatever standards you place upon me"
I nod and we catch up to the rest who were already at the banquet.
Y/n: "Hm?"
A familiar face appeared from the corner of my eye with some bandages on his face.
Y/n: "Heracles?"
Heracles: "Y/n. I was told you picked me as one of your wishes from winning the Rating Game"
Y/n: "I did"
Heracles: "Why me? Caenis was someone pretty strong as well-"
Y/n: "She pissed me off and was way to full of herself. She would not fit in with my peerage"
Heracles: "Fair enough.. but why me?"
Y/n: "There's good in your heart and I'll leave it at that. Go on and meet the rest of the team, that's an order"
Heracles: ".. Understood"
He takes off nervously while I count the numbers I have now.
"With the two new additions, my numbers have increased. Amagi, Akagi, Kaga, Eucliwood, Mordred, X, Ahri, and now Rossweiss"
I felt a tug on my sleeve which kicked me out of my thoughts. I look down to see Isla looking up at me curiously.
Isla: "Are you okay?"
Y/n: "Of course I am"
I pick her up and give her a reassuring smile to ease any troubled thoughts she may have had.
Isla: "It's just that.. I don't want you to be left out. You're like an older brother of mine so I don't want you to be sad"
Y/n: "Older brother huh? I don't mind that. How about we enjoy the party together then Isla?"
Isla: "Of course!!"
Y/n: "Perfect. Want to go pick on old uncle Azazel?"
Isla: "Won't he get mad?"
Y/n: "Not when he sees your cute little face"
I put her on my shoulders before taking off to go bug Azazel.
Azazel: "EY?! Why you two little rascals. Come here!!"
Isla: "You can't catch us!! Run big brother!!"
Y/n: "Hahaha!!"
Azazel: "Don't run?! Get back here!!"
He playfully yells while chasing after us.
??: "Seeing you like this.. happy again. It makes me really happy. Keep living and being happy Y/n. Remember"
I turn slightly and see that beautiful face.
Tiamat: "Mama loves you"
I smile upon seeing it. I no longer felt sadness went seeing that smile, but rather, felt joy in having had Tiamat in my life. Not just her, everyone.
Odin: "He definitely seems just like his old man. Always trying to put on that tough exterior, but when it comes to his closest people, he can't help but speak with the purest of souls"
Rossweisse: "So he'll be who I'll be staying with?"
Odin: "Yes. Who knows, you might even peak the king's interest and finally get a boyfriend~?"
Rossweisse: "ODIN!!"
Odin: "AHAHAHA!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Odin: "Tell King of Heroes, what made you love that child more than just your vessel?"
Gilgamesh: "He reminds me of my younger self. Such a pure boy despite knowing well that he still has to be the strong in the face of others.. Not to mention, being around that boy changed my entire life. He is my child"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Odin: "Gilgamesh sacrificed his life for all of us to be saved. It is our duty to carry on his legacy and protect it"
He says while looking at the young man who was getting a bit of face paint from Isla and Azazel.
Odin: "I'll shield that boy if that's what is needed"
Rossweisse: "I'll do my part in taking care of him as well"
Odin: "Thank you"
As the group continues to celebrate, a figure stood on top of the building while looking down on everyone.
??: "Celebrating with these mortals now aren't we Odin? I think it's time I spoil the party"
