"I can understand that much. Trust that when I say Gods, I do not mean immortal beings with powers beyond explanation. We are powerful, but we grow old, we die. We go to an afterlife, we are not all knowing or all powerful. But, we do wish to help. We are the good guys after all. Most of us... I am."
Dionysus lets his shoulders fall as he thinks about it in earnest.
"Do not feel guilty, everyone needs help at different times of their lives. It wasn't long ago I was in a bad place myself. My brother first had been heavily injured, and then had died. It was not an easy time for my family."

Drake would look to Avice.
"We made the trip here. Just because we can't see Hades doesn't mean we can't make something worth this trip. Why not listen to the man and hear what he has to say about other ways to use the time we are here."

"Hm..." She heavily thought about it. "Last time I took an offer like this... it cost me dearly." She remembered when she lost her limbs and took Leon up on his offer which planted a seed in her mind to hand her off to Prota and also broke her promise to Mathew.
Right now it felt very similar... Missing parts, breaking promises, and an offer that felt too good to be true... She no doubt felt uneasy.
"I'll hear what the other Gods have to say... I'll yet give my answer until I had given it some thought... I would love not more to get my eyes back but I have found that I get a bit... ahead and it hadn't paid off in my favor."

Dionysus would nod as he thought to himself.
"Well if you are hoping for some miracle cure, we do not have such a thing. Unless you talk to some of our more undesirables. We have advice and adjustments you can make, training, and hard work. Horas has lost both his eyes, and Odin had given up an eye. Though it was an ordeal for both of them, their stories and advice may help you."

Drake nodded.
"Lookie there, couple of guys who had it rough in life and decided not take short-cuts and now they are gods, might be some advice looking into. Just sayin."

"Aye..." she nodded. "I think it sounds better and better. Gimmicks, short cuts, mischief, or mysteries of any sort... I'd like to move beyond that. I'll take you up on your offer Dionysus. I'd like to hear their story and advice."

"Very well." Dionysus would wait for Drake to get back in and drive. Dion would give him directions until they hit a snow covered land. The chill and brisk air would hit very suddenly as if passing through a barrier of cold into the land. Warriors in armor, fur, face paint, mead... Smells of stew, pork, and baked bread filled the area. Sounds of people laughing and boasting, the timed tinking sound of metal workers hitting an anvil, billows bellowing, fire raging. Before long they would arrive at the Great Hall of the Norde's. Dionysus would lead the way out of the vehicle and into the Hall, holding Avice's hand if she needed it. Inside would contrast the outside, warm fires kept the room a solid temperature in general, becoming hotter the closer one got to a fire. Many warriors were in the Great Hall eating, or discussing battles and training. Walking past all of that they approached the Chief Table at the far end where sat the major Gods of the Nords. Baldr, Haldr, Tyr, Surtur, Thor and Odin. "Oh good, Tyr is here." Dionysus could be heard muttering under his breath. He would approach taking a sip of his drink and tapping the cane back on the ground. "Greetings." Thor's gaze was the first to break as his face wrinkled into a smile. "HAHA, the God of Wine! Yes, we shall share a tankard of mead! Come, come!" Surtur and Haldr look at Thor more out of wonder at how he can have such a one track mind. "He is also the God of womanizing." Tyr's voice reminds Thor as she looks at Dionysus and folds her arms giving him a stern look. "Ah, yes well... Today isn't about me, you see there is someone whom needs guidance in her time of need. She requests the wisdom of Odin for she has lost her eyes." Tyr's face turns a little red as she stands up and leaves in a hurry. Odin himself looks from his center chair, larger than all of the others and looks at the girl. "Come forward please." |

Don and Cindy would also be present, Don would jump up with his father in welcoming Dion! "Yo Bro! Long time no chill! Why don't you ever wanna hang out anymore?! Is it because of what happened with T-" Cindy would elbow him in his side to get him to shut up, then promptly yank him back to his seat. "Ow- Hey, what was that for I was only-" Cindy would just glare at him until he went silent. She would then continue to rip into the meat she had on her plate. Don reluctantly went back to eating as well, he was DEFINITELY pouting. Drake however took in the hole sight and was officially confused. What the hell was going on here, they all looked, and felt powerful. His curiosity beckoned as he activated his eyes to see the souls of every one in the room. Soul Sight: While activated Drake can see a persons soul and can determine their life force and Morality.

She took in the sounds and smells... And wrapped her self in her clothes to fend of a bit of the chill hearing the sounds of merriment she would try and make sense of it all and the chattering a clattering of it all. She started to crave mead and a hearty meat as the smells reminded her of a few taverns she used to visit abroad.
When Tyr was mentioned Avice perked up. "Tyr? Really?" she would deduce they would visit Odin first it seemed. Though with all the sounds she was unclear as two made them or who they might be. "How have you been since our last encounter?" she would ask expecting to hear the meek boy she met on her last mission from Cabal.
Still she felt a swell in Drake's power and she would smirk and nudge him. "How do a room full of Gods appear compared to Sudeki's?" it wasn't a question that needed answering, she made sure he knew she noticed his curiosity. Most auras in this room she can not see but Drake's she certainly could.
She wasn't sure if she would get an answer from Drake or Tyr when someone said to come forward she was uncertain they were talking to her or Dion. With the following silence she took a moment to make a conclusion.
"You mean me?" she laid a hand on her chest as a gesture to herself as she would step forward towards the voice.
If no one stopped her she would hold a hand forward feeling for what she could trying not to bump into or trip and make a fool of herself.

Dionysus clears his throat a bit when Thors kids yell at him like Thor and he tries to ignore them a bit. He turns to whisper at Avice.
"The previous Tyr died."
However, Avice would find three steps leading to a stage like platform where the Gods dining table was. Odin would reach out for Avice's hand to then reach it down to touch the table so she didn't hurt herself.
"What has brought you to this point? In your own words. Find a single thing, a word, a sentence, a statement. What put you in this state?"

Don, Cindy, and Drake would all watch in silence. The Two norse kids in curiosity, the Sudeki bastard in boredom.

"Oh... that is unfortunate." She honestly was a bit saddened with the news.
She preceded with caution and would follow the guidance when given gratefully.
"If I would be honest... My own foolishness." with a question as that was worded, he didn't seem like the kind to want a whole speech and a bunch of excuses. The whole of it she was almost embarrassed to admit. All the faults that had gotten her to this point and having to explain them over and over... It was such a pity party by this point she was feeling shittier each time.

Odin would nod to himself as she spoke.
"My brash and foolish actions also took my eye. I trusted wholly without caution, I moved forward as an unbeatable warrior. While in battle I am formidable, it was the sneaky, plotting enemy that took my eye, with my permission. They cut my power in half that I willingly gave and defeated me immediately after. Pride, Foolishness... Two sides to a single coin if done without caution. This is the wisdom I gained."

Drake would roll his eyes.
"Admitting that you know you screwed up is step one. Now learn from it."
Drake would say under his breath. This was dragging out and he wasn't sure what good Avice repeating herself would do. Words mean nothing without action. And yet her actions brought her here. On the same foolish impulse that brought her to the condition she is in now.

"I would think if you were not speaking of yourself then I might have assumed you were telling my story." she grinned for a moment.
"I think I am learning but even if the story tales a different tale but the end is still the same." she paused thinking about her next words. "The life I lead is one that I felt an equal trade and sacrifice was how you gained everything. A risk taken worth the rewards reaped... The gifts I have been granted were not hard earned by me and they have had risks that did not but harm me in the end. I wish not to receive gifts, boons, blessings, tricks, or treats... I came here not to gain any thing other than hear this wisdom you spoke of. I finally want to learn my lesson and stop writing the same story."
