Chapter 216 Nal's true nature.
Nal landed in Friesland and saw nobody alive in that small province of the Netherlands. She could see those people dying not from the impact of the battle, they all died because of a heart attack. Their bodies were still fresh and it looked like they all died from something else.
"You killed your own people. Did they don't believe in you anymore or something?" Nal asked as she waved her right hand and made all the dead bodies disappear.
"No. Someone else killed them, I can smell the traces," Baduhenna answered as she walked toward Nal. "I was following the trace and I noticed they came down here as well," Baduhenna added.
"Figures," Nal nodded her head with understanding as she could sense the traces. "Little imps. But that's what you get for having too many enemies and no ally," Nal said. "So? Are you going to hunt them now?" Nal asked as she looked at Baduhenna and realized her coat of crow's feathers was covered in blood, God's blood.
"I did, I was collecting their heads, or at least pieces of them," Baduhenna answered as she fed the heads to the crows. "I don't need allies since I have you. You're worth more than a thousand allies and a thousand enemies," Baduhenna added and saw the crows flying toward the forest.
Nal summoned the same throne that she brought in Valhalla's palace, and then she sat on it as she stared at the sea. She was silent enjoying the peace and quietness of the area as she waited for Baduhenna to be done with her thing.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"What brings you here," Baduhenna asked as she stood beside Nal.
"Well, let's just say I'm sheltering," Nal answered as she crossed her legs and kept staring at the sea.
Baduhenna furrowed her eyebrows and then she felt dozens of strong presences in the distance. She finally realized what Nal meant by sheltering, and she was using her to deal with those beings that wanted to kill her.
"Next time, please don't bring them here to my sacred place," Baduhenna warned as she pulled her spears from thin air.
"Why not? The land needs heads, right? It's good that they're here so you don't have to travel from one place to another just to bring their heads, it would be a waste of time," Nal pointed out as she looked at Baduhenna with a mischievous smile.
Baduhenna sighed and she couldn't argue with Nal's reasoning, so she immediately created a wall made of crows. She prevented the beings from leaving after they entered her territory, and then the crows started to attack them. Even though they were just crows, they weren't normal crows, they all shared Baduhenna's strength.
"We are only doing this until it's over. Once he's dead and all those people who followed him died, our business is done," Lada pointed out because she didn't want to get too close to Nal, and all the Gods behind her. "Whatever you want in return, we don't want you to use any of us in the future. So you have to think of other things that you want from us," Lada added.
"Fine by me," Nal smiled, but her smile meant a thousand meanings behind it.
They didn't have a choice but to rely on Nal, and the reason wasn't because they needed her power or Farbauti but because Nal hated the bloodbath. She didn't hate bloodbath, but she hated seeing bloodbath that wasn't because of her will or plan. If she saw bloodbaths without her knowing, she would punish both sides and make them suffer more than the blood that they had spilled.
"But seeing that there are only a few of you, it looks like the others are planning to do it on their own. I don't like that at all," Nal said as she looked at the sky and saw the Realm of Gods that had been so quiet. "Why don't we pay them a visit? Let them join hands with us since it would benefit them as long as the agreement is the same as what you want," Nal suggested.
"I don't think they would want to do that," Stribog pointed out.
"I have all of you, no? You have agreed and now you're under my ruling. You have to do what I order you to do," Nal said as she looked at all of them with a big smile on her face. "If words can't reach them, then bloodbath is the answer," Nal added and then flew up high into the sky.
Baduhenna watched them leave, but then Nal appeared right behind him even though she had flown away.
"You're coming with us. I need my trusted ally to have my back knowing these guys can stab me in the back, and I'm scared because of that," Nal whispered.
"Who's stupid enough to try to do such a thing to you? You're the last thing they want to mess around with," Baduhenna said as she looked over her shoulder and looked at Nal's face was too close to her face.
"Am I? I didn't know that," Nal asked as she tilted her head and put her finger on her bottom lip acting cute. "Anyway. Come, I really don't trust those guys. Please?" Nal frowned.
"Do I even have a choice?" Baduhenna asked as she sighed.
Nal giggled and then those two flew away.
