Odin, homeland of the Guardians
“Mother, you can foresee this is best for our clans.” Devon Conchobar bent
forward, braced his elbows on his knees, and turned toward Danann.
“Devon, mo mac.” She cupped his cheek and pushed an errant strand of hair
behind his ear. “And you understand why our people would resist. Our Gods and
Goddess’ created Odin eons ago as a haven, to save us from the Romans, to save our
beliefs, our heritage. I miss you when you are on the alternate side, but this is home. The
communities have dug deep roots. A few individuals might depart. Brave souls like you
Guardians, but most would decline.”
“I know our history mother.” He rose, paced towards the fiery glow radiating
from the massive fireplace warming the aged stone walls and floor. As a lad, he spent
many a night curled on this worn wool rug seeking warmth. His gaze roamed the dim
room, the comfortable old furniture, his father’s favorite leather armchair.
An old-fashioned tapestry had him pause. It portrayed a skirmish between two
ancient clans. In the gloom, his lips twitched. Our ancestors sure enjoyed a good battle.
His straight hair long and loose from the leather strip fell over his shoulders. He
bent, grabbed the queue from the floor, and ran the thin piece through his fingers. “But
how much longer do you believe we can contain Odin’s existence with the modern
advances of science on Earth? The veil between our worlds is thin. Consider how far the
humans have come since Copernicus and Galileo. One misstep cloaking Odin during a
shuttle launch or…” His gut twisted, icy shivers slipped down his spine. Trouble is
coming. I feel it in my soul. “If that happens, we’re all screwed.”
“All right, I will consult the Runes and meditate on your words, but do not
become too hopeful. We Celts are a stubborn lot.”
He snorted. “I’m well aware!”
