You were absolutely astonishing.
As the goddess of life, your essence bloomed throughout the universe.
To humans, gods, animals, everything in between. You had a love for anything and everything you’d created.
The gods however, did not agree with your ideologies. They despised humanity. Though the reasons were simple enough, you could not being yourself to share the same feelings as your peers. You’ve shared that opinion several times throughout the many meetings the gods have held over the survival of humanity. And now, you sat watching as yet another council persisted.
“We should eradicate them!”
“Possibly speed up the ice age?”
“They’re nothing but a nuisance! They should’ve been destroyed eons ago.”
Your lips upturned, you frowned slightly yet not speaking. You knew very well that this could’ve possibly been the moment in which everybody agreed on the extinction of the human race. But you could not fathom it possibly happening.
“Alrighty then, all in favor of killing humanity take your votes.”
Previously, Zeus had told everyone about why they were there. Though he didn’t need to drabble on, everyone had already came to their decisions.
“I say we get rid of them. They have no respect for nature and so many species are extinct because of them! If you ask me, they’re a disease on this earth.”
Aphrodite, the beauty spoke. Other gods seemed to agree, then another voice spoke.
“She’s right. They’re just a lowly race, we can destroy and create per usual. If ya ask me, they’re long overdue for a cleansing.”
Shiva interjected. He held up four paddles with red X’s etched onto them as he laid lazily in his pillow.
“Well well, it seems as if your opinions haven’t changed in the slightest… alrighty then. I guess we’ve come to an agreement.”
Zeus said lowly with a slight chuckle. He raised his gavel, bringing it up just to nearly lower it down with enough force to shake the room.
Yet before he could make the ultimate decision, a voice spoke loud and clear. Catching his attention.
Hermes, the messenger god whispered. His small smile never faltered as he looked between his father and the person in question.
“Pardon my intrusion furious gods, there is one thing that I have to say.”
“Mind your manners Brunhilde!”
A voice spoke, it belonged to a bird. A loud one at that, Huginn it was. You’d made it a personal mission to remember everyone’s names. You peered closer to the large screen that broadcasted the meeting while waiting in nervous anticipation on the young Valkyrie’s next words.
The birds had let on a spew of insults. You couldn’t help but giggle slightly at this. They still had quite the fiery personality as they did the last time you’d met.
“It is true that mankind is unbearably vulgar and violent…”
Brunhilde’s breath hitched, she inhaled slowly and continued.
“But to just destroy them like that.. isn’t that a bit-?”
Brunhilde blinked, continuing on.
Odin’s attention was caught at this question, yet he remained silent. Only listening to what she would say next. The rest of the gods listened intently, before retorting and spewing replies of their own.
“What are you planning imbecile?!”
Göll looked nervous by the shouting, as if that wasn’t evident enough. She clutched to her older sisters arm, cowering behind her as she whispered.
“This is a bad idea hilde..!”
Brundhilde only ignored her, furthering her speech.
“We should hold the ultimate battle between god and mankind. Ragnarok.”
Many of the more known gods had expressions of bewilderment written on their faces. Yet nobody interjected.
“Valhalla Constitution, Article no. 62 Super Special Clause. A one versus one showdown between gods and mankind.”
The gods went loud with fury, screaming insults and thoughts aloud.
“Your proposal is pointless.”
Huginn and Muninn said in unison.
“We want to destroy mankind without fighting them. We don’t want to be put in the same ring as them..”
Brunhilde spoke softly, looking off to the side with now widened eyes as she placed her finger upon her bottom lip.
“Don’t tell me… are you chickening out?”
The words she spoke seemed to set of flames. As earlier, the gods responded with pure fury and hatred. They were angry that one of their “own” had even thought to mock them.
You on the other hand, giggled softly. Your beautiful crystal earrings clanked as you did this action, but you’d quickly regained your composure and looked back at screen.
A voice bellowed. It was Zeus. He stroked his beard while raising a bushy eyebrow.
All of the other gods stared intensely, you did as well.
“Your little speech was an absolute fucking unit!”
Zeus rejoiced loudly, he was oozing with excitement at the prospect of fighting. He grinned, though it was slightly hard to make out through the screen.
“It’s been long since I’ve had a good fight… an ultimate showdown between gods and humans. What do you think everyone, shall we show these humans the might of the gods?!”
Zeus’ voice echoed throughout the hall. Gods of all pantheons agreed loudly, spouting the same violent nonsense that they had been for years. But now a decision was finalized. Humanity would stay, for now. And you were quite happy about it.
Your lips curled into a smile, you turned off your special projector and rested your tense muscles.
“I believe I know what side I’ll be playing on.”
With those words, you stood up from your comfortable seat on the flat pillar. Your long shiny locks glowed and bounced freely as you turned to your garden. You were happy to see the turnout.
This is my first ever ROR story! I wanted to say a few quick things before I continue.
I may or may not continue writing this. It all depends on who interacts and if I feel like it.
The reader is based on an oc of mine, so don’t be so surprised if it’s a little different than you expected. But don’t worry, I have some facts about her that will get you well adjusted!
(Name) is the goddess of Life, a goddess created out of organic materials rather than being born like people usually are.
Despite seeming wise, she’s actually well beyond her years. She’s around the age of some of the younger gods, but her body has manifested into a giant woman centuries ago.
She has direct connection to most forms of life. Because she created a lot of life forms in Valhalla and Midgard, they all have a connection to her.
She can feel the emotions, as well as the hurt and comfort. So for instance, if a major forest fire breaks out; it’ll burn her skin.
The same can be said for her emotions as they’re linked to the earth as well. Whenever she cries, it rains. Whenever she’s happy, it’s sunny and it blooms.
She’s about the same height as blue Diamond from Steven Universe. She obviously towers over every other god there is.
She has a smaller form, but because of her emotions growing with her body and the fact that her body is flowing with so much life— her body became bigger to handle the capacity of her power. She can change forms, but it dissipates her power significantly.
She is based on Granmamare for the most part, but also based off of a few other goddesses. These include.
Pele, The Hawaiian Goddess of fire and volcanoes.
Laka, The Hawaiian Goddess of beauty, love and fertility.
Gaea, The Greek personification of earth.
Aphrodite, The Greek Goddess of beauty.
Hestia, The Greek Goddess of the hearth, fire and family.
With this in mind, the reader is meant to be a woman of color! Specifically a black woman. So I will write her as such, especially since there aren’t many other dark skinned gods in record of Ragnarok. You can imagine her otherwise if you’d like.
She is particularly curvy and busty appearance wise, she has signature long flowing hair and she adorns a pale pink dress with several jewels from around the world as her jewelry.
Her personality is bubbly, kind, motherly, optimistic, upbeat, confident, curious, honest, creative, loyal, compassionate, intelligent, courageous, enthusiastic, empathetic, ambitious, stubborn and honorable.
If it seems as though she’s a Mary Sue, don’t mind it!!
She’s a goddess, she’s gonna be as perfect as she can- or at least try to live up to those expectations. She very much does have flaws like everyone else, but her purity sets her leagues above everyone else in terms of personality.
Also side note!! I will try to add as many love interests as possible. I just stopped tagging them because I got tired of it, but the ones you see listed will be included. And yes, Zeus will have a part in the readers harem. I do like his character way more than any other rendition of Zeus.
Comment, Likes, Reblogs. I appreciate all of them, I can’t wait to possibly continue this story.
