Destroying My Own Novel

Mykel looked at Angra as both Angra and Spenta were sniffing his body scent. They both didn’t show any hostility toward him at all. In fact, they both started to snuggle and rubbed their faces on Mykel’s neck.

“They both male?” Mykel asked as he slowly reached their heads and rubbed their heads.

“I knew you could tell,” Loki smiled with his eyes closed.

Hera and Freyja approached Mykel to look at those two creatures from up close, but suddenly Angra turned its head toward them and started hissing. Hera and Freyja were startled as they walked a few steps back because they could feel the hostility from Angra.

Angra spread his wings and started flying around. He then landed on the ground, and with every step he made, it cracked the ground. He kept hissing at both of them, but before he could pounce, Spenta jumped from Mykel’s shoulder and landed on top of Angra.

They both were rolling on the ground as they kept kicking and hugging each other. They seemed to be playing or fighting each other. It looked kind of cute, but that was not the case because they both shattered the ground and a heavy storm brewed in Niflheim because of them.

“I can’t stop them,” Loki said as he stood right behind Mykel.

Mykel walked in to stop Angra and Spenta from fighting each other. He grabbed both of them on the back of their necks, and surprisingly they were so light compared to when they sat on his shoulders. Angra was hissing at Spenta while Spenta was squeaking at Angra until Mykel carried them in his arms.

“As expected, the father of my children,” Loki giggled as he looked at Angra and Spenta. “The moment they were born, they both immediately fought each other,” Loki explained as he rubbed their chins.

“How old are they?” Freyja asked, and she was fascinated by their powers already.

“Not even one-day old, I just gave birth to them this morning,” Loki sighed as he shook his head and rubbed his forehead.

Everyone was dumbfounded by the fact those two had just been born that morning and had already shown off their tremendous amount of power. They didn’t know if they should be amazed or terrified because they couldn’t imagine how powerful they would become in the future.

Hera looked at Mykel and he was staring at his children with an uneasy expression. “Mykel, you look troubled,” Hera said.

“How should I put this,” Mykel said as Angra and Spenta snuggled in his arms. “These two are powerful deities, and their names mean something. Angra Mainyu means evil spirit while Spenta Mainyu means holy spirit,” Mykel explained and put them both on his shoulders.

Everyone looked at those three with serious expressions, and even Loki didn’t know what Mykel was talking about. Loki came up with those names by coincidence, and he told them about it already.

“Ahriman,” Mykel looked at Angra, and then Angra suddenly purred and snuggled his head on Mykel’s left cheek. “Amesha,” Mykel looked at Spenta, and then it did the same thing which made everyone look at Mykel with perplexed looks. “What have you done, Loki,” Mykel asked as he looked at Loki from the corner of his eyes.

Loki couldn’t tell if Mykel was angry, disappointed, happy, or amazed by the way he looked at him. Mykel then sighed and carefully grabbed Spenta and gave it to Loki.

“You should be able to take care of him, right?” Mykel asked.

Loki opened his hands. “Yes, but why?” Loki asked.

“Angra and Spenta aren’t meant to be together. In fact, if they are raised together, it only fastened the doom of their own existence,” Mykel answered as he looked at Spenta in Loki’s hands. “They’re meant to kill each other until they both become one, and become a powerful deity,” Mykel continued as he looked at Angra.

“A powerful deity?” Gaia asked.

“Yes, Ahura Mazda, a supreme deity,” Mykel answered. “It’s troublesome, but as long as they both never met each other again, it should be fine,” Mykel continued.

“A supreme deity. What do you know about Ahura Mazda and how do you about this, Mykel?” Hera asked.

“You can say he’s the one similar to Khaos in your world, the Yggdrasil of the northern Gods, and Ra from the far south. I know because I have heard of their existence,” Mykel answered and looked Hera in the eye. “He’s capable of creating a new universe. Khaos, Ahura Mazda, Yggdrasil tree, Ra, and her. The five of them can be called a supreme God,” Mykel continued.

They were speechless and couldn’t believe Loki had given birth to powerful deities.

“So that’s why,” Loki said as he sat on his legs and stared at Spenta. “During my pregnancy, she sacrificed herself and my sons did the same thing so I could survive,” Loki continued.

“What do you mean by that, Loki?! Sigyn, Narfi, and Vali. They sacrificed themselves?!” Freyja glared at Loki in disbelief.

Loki slowly nodded his head. “Not just them, but Hatii and Skoll as well,” Loki answered and there was an immense amount of pain in his words. “But it’s okay. This is what we want, and they were willing to give their lives for me to survive,” Loki showed his sour smile.

Mykel already knew about that since he read it in Loki’s [Story] back then. He could bring them back to life, but he wanted Loki to ask for it himself.

“I’m fine with this since I knew a part of them are here inside Spenta’s body and the rest is inside Angra’s body,” Loki said as he stood up. “But, Mykel…” Loki looked at Mykel with his tired face. “You should pay attention to Lyneth. Sooner or later, she would experience what I experienced. If not, she would die because she’s bearing a powerful being inside her that came right from you,” Loki warned.

Mykel felt a bit worried, but then Hera shook her head.

“No, she should be fine. She’s a mortal, and at best she will produce a Demi-god. Her body will be fine, and I have given my blessings to her. Not only me, Freyja and Goddess Gaia also blessed her,” Hera explained and she sounded so confident.

Loki staggered to stand up on his own, and then Hel helped him stand up. He smiled and his smile was a mock to Hera’s words as if he wanted to mock her but he was too weak to do so.

“I have warned you, Mykel. Your existence is too powerful, and even if the baby inside her body is just a Demi-god, you can’t underestimate your own power,” Loki said as he walked past Mykel with Hel’s help. “And you, Hera, Freyja, Aphrodite, and Hedone. If you want to sacrifice yourself, be my guest. I hope you don’t have to go through what I had been through,” Loki smiled as he walked past them.

“I will rest, and I might not be able to join you for quite a while,” Loki said and then teleported with Hel.

Mykel took Loki’s words seriously, and he believed that everything Loki said was true. He wasn’t just an ordinary God like the rest, he was different and if his eyes could even create two powerful deities, what would happen if he gave his sperm to Lyneth.

“Loki is a Jotunn, even though his body is small, his power is equal to a giant. A giant can take every blow to the face without feeling any pain. If he ended up like that just because he bore those two, I don’t think you can survive, not even a mortal,” Skadi explained and looked at Hera and Freyja. “He knew because he experienced it himself, and you shouldn’t dismiss his words,” Skadi looked at Mykel.

“I’m not,” Mykel answered as he looked up to see Nidhoggr slowly descend because he was curious about the two deities as well.

Angra hissed at Nidhoggr and then flew away to fight him. Everyone looked up and saw Angra fly really fast toward Nidhoggr. He looked like a speck of dust flying toward a massive mountain.

“How can a cute and small creature be so fearless? If he’s that big, how big can he be when he’s fully grown?” Hera asked and looked at Mykel.

“Don’t ask me. I barely know anything about them,” Mykel answered and watched as Nidhoggr was being chased by Angra.

“I have to go back, and check on Lyneth,” Mykel said, and then flew up to pick Angra up. He warped back to Earth with Angra in his hand.
