Percy Jackson - Godwyn the Golden

"The whole realm is a great fire... the source of fire itself, and of all the sun and stars, if the legend is true. Well, you know... I suppose it has cooled considerably since the beginning of creation, hasn't it?"

"Niflheim isn't exactly ice these days either. It's the nature of things, extremes are tempered by time. Fires burn colder, men grow old and gray... heads are chopped off and attached to belts. Such is life!"

Mimir's voice explained the world of fire and lava before Godwyn and Thalia. The suffocating heat was equally frightening as in Helheim.

"Honestly, seeing so many worlds is something I never thought I'd do." Thalia said in a soft tone, looking at the world of fire and lava before her. Her blue eyes reflected this world with a touch of joy, pride, and pleasure at witnessing such a scene. If she had remained in the United States, she would never have seen the scenes she had witnessed so far.

"The world is too beautiful, exotic, and incredible to stay in one place." Godwyn said, looking at Muspelheim, there was a smile on his lips, showing that he was also happy to venture into the Nine Worlds. "It's my first time coming to this place too."

"I will create a similar world, a world equally incredible to the Nine Worlds." Godwyn commented, opening his arms, as if he wanted to embrace this world completely.

"I want to see this new world with you, Godwyn." Thalia spoke, looking at Godwyn with a gentle gaze, unaware that her words were no different from a confession of love, at that moment.

Godwyn lowered his eyes and looked at Thalia in shock, he wondered if he had misheard, but seeing her gaze. At that moment, he realized that Thalia really liked him. This caught him off guard.

The reason he never noticed was that in the books, it was implied that Thalia and Luke were in love before the events of the first Percy Jackson book. Godwyn then remembered that he had completely destroyed the original script.

Luke, Thalia, and Annabeth were supposed to arrive at Camp Half-Blood after passing near the gates of Hades countless times. Even Thalia and Luke were seriously injured and could only be cared for by little Annabeth.

But because of Godwyn's arrival, these things didn't happen and the romance between Luke and Thalia never really blossomed. What blossomed was Thalia's love for Godwyn during the events leading up to Camp Half-Blood.

Knowing this fact, Godwyn was speechless for a moment. He felt embarrassed and somewhat flattered. At the same time, he also felt that he had stolen Luke's beloved. This really made him ashamed to look Luke in the face again.

'I apologize, Luke, but it seems the girl you win, loves me.' Godwyn mentally apologized to Luke, who would probably want to kill him in the future.

Perhaps feeling that her words were a bit too revealing and showed her own feelings, Thalia panicked for a moment and said with a falsely calm tone. "As your subordinate, I want to see the world you are creating."

Thalia didn't know that the more she tried to explain herself, the more evident the truth became in Godwyn's eyes.

Pretending not to understand the implications of Thalia's words, Godwyn said with a calm smile. "That day will come."

Thalia was relieved to see that Godwyn hadn't noticed the implications of her words, but at the same time, she was disappointed by it. She wanted to open her mouth and say what she felt, but the courage she had moments ago disappeared as if it had never existed.

Clenching her fists, Thalia couldn't help but curse her own cowardice, but the fear of being rejected and that their friendship would end, prevented her tightly pressed lips from opening.

"Come on, we have to find the Fire King." Godwyn extended his hand to Thalia and spoke with a smile. Thalia looked at Godwyn's hand and didn't hesitate to hold it tightly.

Holding his hand, Thalia felt happy and relaxed, the fear she had in her heart disappeared. She realized that she was thinking too far ahead and didn't think about what Godwyn felt for her. Thinking about it, the girl showed a determined expression. She would make Godwyn fall in love with her!

Unaware of the thunder girl's determination, Godwyn, holding Thalia's hand, began to walk across Muspelheim. The entire planet seemed like a giant volcano, with lava exploding in some places while the black and scorched terrain was uneven and inconsistent.

There were no paths or roads made, only some relatively more suitable place to move forward. When Godwyn and Thalia encountered an obstacle, they were forced to climb gigantic mountains or bypass large lava lakes.

Taking Godwyn's hand and pulling him to the peak of a mountain, Thalia, who was sweating profusely, couldn't help but comment. "We haven't seen any life, are there no living beings in this place?"

Godwyn didn't answer, he had never been to Muspelheim, so he knew almost nothing about the Fire Realm.

"They exist, they are Fire Jotuns and elemental lava beings, like ogres and animals, but since you are bypassing lava lakes and caves, you haven't found any yet." Mimir resolved the doubts of both teenagers with a smile.

Godwyn and Thalia understood why they hadn't seen any living creatures so far. When the Norse demigod was about to speak, the ground beneath him trembled. The sound similar to footsteps echoed around. But they weren't human footsteps, because human footsteps would never make the earth tremble like an earthquake.

Thalia opened her mouth in shock seeing a gigantic figure made of lava and stone walking slowly through a sea of lava. It was easily the size of a forty-story building. Every time it moved, hot winds spread to the surroundings.

Godwyn was calmer, as he was used to the exaggerated sizes of the Jotuns, but he was still surprised by the size of the Fire Jotun.

Suddenly, another Fire Jotun appeared in Godwyn's and Thalia's field of vision. To the surprised and shocked eyes of both, the two Jotuns began to fight with furious roars, like warriors meeting on a battlefield.

The collision of the punches of both Jotuns altered the surrounding landscape. Lava splattered everywhere while large pieces of blackened earth flew upwards, breaking apart in the process and falling to the ground with fierce impacts.

Godwyn's expression changed drastically seeing a huge rock coming towards him! He picked up Thalia like a princess and jumped from the mountain he was on, plummeting from above at high speed.

Godwyn's and Thalia's hair fluttered strongly as the hot air collided with their faces. When he was about to collide with the ground, wind runes appeared around the Norse demigod's body, making him float and land safely on the ground.

But Godwyn was not relieved by this, with Thalia still in his arms, his body shot forward. A huge foot crushed the spot where he was a second ago. Looking up, he saw that the two Jotuns were fighting fiercely ignoring anything or anyone around them.

Thalia just wrapped her arms around Godwyn's neck and rested her head on his shoulder. Although she could run and even faster than Godwyn, she didn't and enjoyed the moment while watching the fight between the two Jotuns with bright and excited eyes.

The scene before her only reinforced that she was right to leave the Greek Pantheon, how could she witness such an incredible scene being in a mere demigod camp?

Godwyn was speechless at Thalia's movements, he couldn't help but think that the girl was really calm.

"It looks like the fight of giants in Lord of the Rings." Thalia commented with a laugh, watching the two giants fighting fiercely, as if they were going to kill each other the next moment.

Hearing this, Godwyn, who was still running, looked at Thalia and couldn't help but think that her laugh was beautiful, but then, he laughed. "Yes, you're right, it looks like we're going to Mordor!"

"Frodo, let's go to Mordor to destroy the cursed ring!" Thalia clenched her fist and spoke with a righteous tone full of determination to eliminate the greatest evil in this world.

"Yes, my elven queen." Godwyn replied with an equally righteous tone.
