A place of great worship for the Norse Gods, Vikings come here to pay respects to Odin, Thor, Freyja, and all of the other gods with prayers and requests for what they need most. The priests here are covered with black and white paint and don't say much in common language but speak in old Norse. During the festival, on the first night, all the vikings dance, drink, and more in the woods as if it's their last day in Midgard. The second day, nine sacrifices of every species, including warriors, commence as a sign of good faith toward their gods.
The smell of incense was in the air, the smell of burning candles and torches rolled around the atmosphere as a two lightning bolts fired down onto the ground. Showing two demigods appearing at the front steps. One was Odelia who was wielding her legendary broken Spear of Leonidas and the other who had arrived was the gruff Vincent Angel with his powerful keyblade resting on the fur around his neck that connected to his cloak. His blue and green eyes looked around as he spoke up with a soft yet deep tone,"This...this is Uppsala...this is like the churches or temples you would see in other realms...Priests would perform sacrifices for the gods here...one ceremony would sacrifice nine animals of every livestock and nine drengrs to please the gods and to give drengrs good fortune for battle..." As he began to walk, his legendary weapon leaning against his covered shoulder while his left hand began to glow a soft red hue from his ring's diamond. He was nervous as he gripped tightly around the closed drinking horn, knowing that this would help him for what's about to come. Walking through the wooden archways in the path, walking on the path made of stone, he was visibly shaken as he began to notice that the next wooden archway had three priests hanging by their necks with rope. This made Vin stop as he knew that this was a foe who didn't mind the stench of death. Growling softly, like a bear who has been angered, Vin began to run through the path. This was when something interesting appeared in front of him. His eyes grew wide as his boots skid against the stone as he saw a man with skin as white as ash standing in front of the large doors. The red stripe against the man's body made it ultimately known who it was,"...Kratos.." The large seven foot tall greek warrior only groaned as he held two blades in his hands. Turning his head to the right, the former God of War only groaned before standing up straight as his eyes were still staring at the door,"I followed your boy and his kidnapper here...I was unable to stop what has happened here...but I know the boy is still alive..."

Aeris steps out of the doorway with the viking following her, she noticed Vincent and Odelia were standing, so she raised her right hand up to halt her warriors. She looked at the wooden buildings, her eyes were widen. She and others were at Uppsala, it was the sacred cult performing sacrifice to please gods. She didn't have time for that because the infant rescue and raid were first priority, then she and fellow vikings followed Vincent until they all encounter Kratos. She was surprise to see him, but Kratos explained he saw Vincent's baby son and his kidnapper there and knew the baby is still alive. Aeris sighed in relief, but there was no telling those cult will perform the sacrifice to the baby. She looked at Vincent in concern. "You don't think your son's kidnapper is part of the cult?" She asked him, theorized if the kidnapper may be part of sacrificial cult. She looked at Kratos. "My men are prepare to raid, but I need to know if those cults are willing to plan to choose the baby to be chosen as a sacrifice." She said, yet wanted to know if those cults are willing to sacrifice the baby, which she didn't want that to happen.

The place on the other side of the door seemed eerie and it didnt help when vin walked in behind her nearly spooking the woman, as she gripped her spear so tightly her knuckles shown white,"A temple ye say?", she asks as they walked onward it wasn't until she noticed the three hanging priest she felt despair hit her,"This isn't very holy..", she noted; then she noticed the large figure in the door way she instinctively stood in front of vin until she noticed Kratos as he peered down at them explaining who they were finally looking for,"Wait!",she turned to him,"You have a son?", she said seeing as they haven't seen each other in 3 years they knew she was due to birth a child but she hadn't expected vin to already have kids; She turned hearing Aeris coming in claiming the 'baby' may be used as a sacrifice; She felt herself trembling with utter rage,"Where be they?", she barked into the cold air turning to kratos pointing her spear,"Lead the way.. I'll be skinning these dogs by their loins if they dare to harm the wee lad!", her eyes glowed. She never expected they were be running to rescue a child a babe at that but this caused her to grow impatient; Odelias always had a soft spot for children concluding her own trouble childhood but the thought of a helpless baby in the arms of an enemy caused her blood to boil as the vengeance and distress of a mother could only feel if her own little lily would be in such a state;
"I have two children...a girl and a boy...", Vin responded to Odelia as he gripped his keyblade tight in his right hand, the drinking horn in the other as he walked up the stairs where Kratos was located. He was standing there with a spear in hand and dark fur cloak covering his body from the cold, the spear glowing with a golden hue which interested Vin enough to understand that the weapon was powerful enough to kill a god. Fitting for the Ghost of Sparda, also known as the Godkiller. Might be a weapon needed for this situation as everyone was speaking their minds. There wasn't much time as on the other side of the double doors was the sound of a baby crying. Kratos groaned in anger as he walked over to the doors as he noticed the doors were locked, however, this wasn't going to be a issue as he gripped inbetween the doors and ripped the doors off of their hinges, tossing them over to the side as he stood there in anger. Vin ran up with his keyblade in hand when he saw the horror standing in front of them,"What...the....fu-?" All of a sudden, a blast of dark aura shot outward toward the two berserkrs, tossing them back high above Odelia and Aeris before crushing down one of the wooden arches that had vikings hanging from a tree. The wood splintered everywhere as the two landed hard against their backs, cracking the cement but there wasn't time to rest as the two stood up to look at who had done such an attack. That was when the dark portal that appeared in front of the door showed a large black dragon slithered out of the portal, it's flesh decaying under it's scales as it stood in front of the legendary temple. Letting out a mighty roar, the dragon looked down at the four heroes as a voice spoke up,"It has seemed...you are right on time..." Vin stood up with his keyblade in hand as he looked up toward the dragon, growling loudly as he noticed the dark aura flowing like smoke outside the temple. As the Necrodragon stood there with intimidation, a frail-looking man covered in a black olympian-styled cloak and robes walked out holding a baby within it's hands. Vin's eyes grew wide as he ran up toward the two heroines, his keyblade out and ready to swing as he yelled out toward the man,"GIVE ME BACK MY SON!" "Oh...no no...not yet", the man spoke up, his voice sounded frail as well and yet, Vin already knew that this was only a mask to his true strength, yet he didn't care. The demigod was already thinking of a million different ways to rip the man's body apart with his own bare hands. The man in robes only chuckled softly as he held the baby in his hands, the dark aura's smoke flowing around him as he spoke up with a smirk under his hood,"I just can't wait...to see what you do...what must you be thinking? Ripping me apart? Cutting off my head? Oh...how my knees buckle at the man who undid all of your father's work...giving back the throne to those..lesser gods...makes me laugh really."

.::Formal Attire::.
Aeris watched Vincent and Kratos were approaching the door, Odelia was enraged of thought of baby boy may ended up as sacrifice. She had to agree with Odelia, she can't let the child to be sacrifice for some sort of cult. Just she witnessed the door slammed opened and the dark aura shot outward and toss both men out passing two ladies. Aeris was taken it back, while the vikings were stunned. Aeris looked at both Vincent and Kratos, so she called them out. "What the h*ll happen!?" She called out, and looked at the door, then that answers her question. She sees the large black dragon, she scowled and gripping her katana. "For once, I wish my father's another apprentice is here for detecting this evil presence." She said, wishing Mitsuki was here for her sixth senses. Vincent yelled at dragon turned into frail old man, yeet the old man was taunting him. Aeris knew he was provoking Vincent, even Arigane's work. Her eyes begin to twitch, she's getting irritated. "Archers!" She roared to call her viking's archers, just as viking archers prepare to pull their arrows to pull the strings to aim at the man. She raised her hand to hold their aim and await her signals, not wanting the baby boy to get rained by the numerous amount of arrows. "Surrender yourself and give the child back to his father!"
As they walked forward Odelia noted everything the opening of the doors by pulling them them apart the air as two over sized grown men were slammed through it into the wall crushing the stone with their bodies; The sound of the frail weak old man as he held onto the small babe in his arms; Odelia had to think quick, taking a swig of her wine bottle it was as if the world stopped spinning and she let her sense be driven by the sure rage that was spilling from within her; Her eyes glowed so brightly that when she fell into the gaze of the man staring at her he seen something ultimately different she stood before him with his dragon in the grip of her right hand like a whipped dog, and the babe in her left arm,"Where is your power now?", echoed the illusioned odelia with mockery as it showed the man wrapped in vines; While in the real world she teleported right behind him spear ready to lunge through his neck, She had to be fast or the dragon would smack her away or worse;
Growling furiously, Vin watched as the dragon was ready to strike at any moment as the frail old man grinned with black ooze escaping from his lips. Kratos only groaned in annoyance as he picked himself up with spear in hand as he readied for a opportunity to strike. Aeris' words sadly wasn't going to be something the man cared about. The man's only feeling was violence. In a span of a few moments, chaos began and all it needed was a golden light. That light came from Odelia's eyes as from what he saw, he saw the illusion that the pirate had created to create her sneak attack. The old man only grinned as he could even feel the illusion of vines flowing around him but knew this was a fake. Everything moved in slow motion as all of a sudden, the necrotic dragon was ready to turn to shoot it's acidic breath toward the white haired demigod when all of a sudden.....
CRRRRRRRRRRRR
The sound of metal stabbing through the dragon's exposed skull as a glowing spear was thrown straight through it. This was thrown by Kratos as he raised his right arm back, the ring around his finger shining bright as a new golden spear appeared, tossing it straight into the dragon's right wing, pinning it against the temple's walls. Over and over again, new spears were thrown into the necrodragon as Vin rushed toward the frail old man, holding his baby with a confused look on his face. The feeling of the spear from Odelia stabbed straight through the back of his neck as black ooze spilled out toward both sides of the opened wound, making him toss the baby who giggled in the air, as though this was a new game. Vin knew he had to catch the baby as he jumped up, raising his arms out before carefully catching his little Bjorn. Landing back onto the ground on one knee, his emerald green and teal blue eyes stared down at his son's with such worry in his eyes. He shook violently as he thought about what would happen if anyone he cared about was hurt...or worse. Looking up, he looked at the frail old man fall onto his knees on the cement, black ooze spilling out of his wound through his neck. The Necrodragon screeched in pain as Kratos only growled before summoning one one spear, thrusting the end of the spear to the ground which made each spear that was stabbed into the dragon explode in holy light, completely destroying the dragon's necrotic body. The dragon turned into ooze itself as the man only chuckled, black ooze spilling out of his mouth as Vin stood up with one arm holding his little one. The man spoke,"They...won't stop...you...and your family...are doomed....hehe....HAHAHAHAHA-!!" This was the last thing the man had said as Vin used his free right hand, holding his legendary keyblade swung down, severing his right arm. Black ooze shot out, making the man scream as the blue and blond haired demigod made his keyblade disappear, only for him to grab the frail man's throat. This made the man gasp for air, using his only free arm to try and break free but it was too late as Vin dragged him out of the temple entrance, so that everyone could see. With his left arm holding his baby, Bjorn, the angered demigod thrusted the frail man down to the ground, making him gasp for air as the baby had it's face turned away from the violence. Vin's eyes glowed as smoke escaped, making the man continuously laugh and gasp at the same time until his eyes began to bulge out. The grip around the frail man's neck was stopping the bleeding from Vin's free hand but it was to strangle him for he wasn't trying to save him.
..No, it wasn't...
Vin wanted him to die slowly for taking his son away from him, away from his family as all of a sudden, his eyes that were made of embers began to go grey before his eyes completely shot out from his skull, his black ooze spraying all over him as Vin stared at him, his face only showing anger as he completely closed his fist around his neck. His skin had ripped off of his neck as he let go, letting the rest of this man's black blood spill out onto the broken cement ground. The black ooze dripped off Vin's body, mostly on his right hand as he stood up straight, still holding the giggling child in his left arm. He could feel the baby holding onto his robes on his shoulder, giving him some comfort as he knew Bjorn wouldn't be able to see the gore in front of him. With his anger beginning to subside, Vin spoke up softly with anger under his voice,"Don't take...a little pig...from his old boar..." With that, his thrusted his right foot against the corpse's face, completely shattering the frail old man's skull as the sound of a loud squish. As this happened, the old Godkiller walked up toward Aeris with his spear in hand, looking toward the bloodshed that laid under Vincent's feet. Looking down, he saw the remaining part of the man's head, a eyeball rolling away from the mayhem. He was shook a little bit as he looked up toward the demigod as he stood there....

Witnessing what Vincent and Odelia had done, Aeris widen her eyes in horror. Despite saving Bjorn, Vincent crush the frail old man's skull. She looked at the corpse, then Vincent with white hair and amber eyes. This scares her, it's a side effect of exposing the person's darkness. She look back to signal the archer to lower their weapon. She turned around to look at Vincent. "What the h*ll! We could have interrogate that old dragon by restrain him then execute him, but no... You just had to kill that old b*****d!" She scolded Vincent in anger for murdering the captor. She was furious as he is, but she and others needs to know why he kidnap Bjorn.

The distraction seemed enough but she felt the breathe of the dragon next to her skin she felt her heart beating wildly in those slow yet fast moving moments until the loud crunch of the spear being driven into the dragons body; Her heart leaping from her chest she almost was burned alive by the toxic beast if it were not for the spear of Kratos; Her own spear piercing through the throat of the man before her the small babe wheeling into the air as he was caught by his father; She found herself pulling the spear out and stood there in shocked silence calming the beating of her heart; She didnt realize how close death breathed on the back of her neck, she felt a strange calmness as she watched the world which slowed from the brutal death of the monster who stole the child to Aeris screaming at Vin, she turned to Kratos blinking her trembling hands clenching the fingers of her spear nodding to him respectfully stiffly as her body tried to release from the friction encased in her own fear; She closed her eyes and took a swig of the wine of Dioynsus and felt a calming wash over her before she found the world return to normal and she finally walked over to the group with all the swag and casualness that is of her nature as she replied,"D*m be that b*stard", snapped odelia,"Vin have every right", she looked at the squashed head of the man she felt no remorse for this person for she would have done the same if her own was taken from her. The wraith of a parent was a terrifying sight;
As everyone was yelling at each other, mostly toward him with what he had done, he was silent as he held his baby in his arms. All he could here from his perspective was a high pitched noise, a high C tone like a note that never ended. His anger was like wild fire as his emerald green and teal blue eyes open slightly as he could feel his child, Bjorn, wrap his small arms around his neck for a soft hug. This brought a small smile on his face before looking over toward Odelia speaking up for him. It was true, he had every right but as he looked down at the gory scene, he realized what he had done. He released how severe this was, his power and his emotions were becoming uncontrollable. It was scary but he had to keep a straight face as he kept silent. "Quiet...", the deep cracked voice of Kratos pierced through the cloud of voices. Attention was on the cloaked Godkiller as he walked forward, giving Odelia a respectful nod as his spear disappeared from his right hand. Vin noticed his hand was wearing a golden ring as he walked past him, the two locked eyes as the demigod noticed what Kratos was seeing. Was he seeing a man who did the right thing or a god who lost control. This and more was going through Vin's mind as Kratos kicked open the doors to let the light into the temple. What remained was the slick statue monuments of Odin, Thor, and Freya covered in blood but there was a clue that was shown in plain sight for everyone to read. Written in the floor with dark blood, Kratos read out what it had said,"May Blood fill the Goblet of Wealth..so the Phoenix will Rise for War."

.::Formal Attire::.
Aeris sighed in annoyance, now she had to deal with two temper demigods. Kratos hush all of the groups and he opened the door, Aeris approach the entrance and looked around the cult, her eyes were widen to see the statue of Odin, Thor, and Freya covered in blood. She wasn't too interested in cult, but seeing this was making her sick. After Krato read it out loud, she let out a gagged sound. "Not a big fan of cults, but this place is a mess." She commented, just as she heard the loud sound from the distance. The vikings were ready to defend their Jarl, Vincent, Kratos, and Odelia as they were in battle stance. Aeris turned her head to see the grandfather clock. She raised her eyebrow, where did the grandfather clock coming from. Just as the TARDIS landed by rough shaking, Mitsuki and Zera were holding on the rail. Precht checked the map and read the destination. "We have arrived." He said before he spared his glance at Mitsuki to give her a smile. "How long has it been to see your old friend?" He asked her. Mitsuki fondly smiled to remember the last time she saw Vincent. "Last time I saw him, is when we had Mark of Mastery Exam under Master Aqua and other Keyblade Masters watch." She replied about the last time she saw Vincent. She can pick up his presence, Odelia's, and Krato's, yet she can sense Aeris' daemonic aura. Zera remembered Fenrir told them earlier. "So Keyblade Masters chose you as Keyblade Master?" She asked, since she knew nothing about it. Mitsuki looked at Zera as she shrugged her shoulders. "It's a test for whoever has strong of heart will be chosen. Master Aqua sent both of us to the journey to resolving pressing issues such as dealing with darkness or Heartless Invasion, then... I pass the exam because I have been told I have an ability to open other people's heart and understand their feelings. I couldn't deny it, I am good at encouraging people to never give up or never lose their own hope." She briefly explained about the Mark of Mastery Exam, and why she was chosen to become Keyblade Master. Precht and Zera looked at Keyblade Master, even Precht heard about her from Simon because of lacrima memory from his parents, and he encounter her couple times. He can see why she had kind-hearted personality. "I think I can see why you have that charismatic to encouraging people." He commented before he step away from control, and head to the door. Mitsuki will take that as compliment as she put on her red hooded cloak with her hood cover her head, so she and Zera followed Precht. Suddenly, Mitsuki suddenly stopped as she let out a silent gasp and caught the smell of blood hitting her nose. Precht seems to noticed as he stopped and looked at wolf hanyo. "What is it?""I smell the blood." She alert Jedi Knight. Precht and Zera widen their eyes, then Precht grabbed his inactive light whip and slam the door open. He dash out of the TARDIS with Zera and Mitsuki following him. Mitsuki summoned Long Sacred Bow and was about to perform kyudo, but what they all saw was crushed skull black dragon. Precht approached the dead dragon, and kneeled down to examine it. "Dragon Slayers and Dragon Lords will be furious, if they sees this." He stated. Zera and Mitsuki look up to noticed all of vikings were in fighting stance. "Umm Precht, we may have another problem." Zera alerted her friend as she raised her both hands up and glanced at Mitsuki to do the same, so she did. Precht look up, he saw the group of vikings. He took a deep breath and raised his hands up. "We all are not here to fight you, please lower your weapons. We are looking for Vincent Angel." He speaks in diplomatic manner, which he's quite good at. He looked around and noticed Aeris, and based on her appearance, she could be the leader of the viking. Aeris stared at Precht, Zera, and Mitsuki, so she scoffed with a smile. "Lower your weapons, I know one of them." She command her warriors, who they all loosen their stance. One of them began to ask. "Which one do you know, Jarl?""The girl with red cloak, she is the apprentice of my father." She answered as the vikings looked at Mitsuki. Mitsuki lowered her hands and pulled down the hood, her silver blue eyes stared at teal with lavender rings eyes. "Mitsuki... Or, should I call you Master Mitsuki? You know you should have send the raven for the message that you will drop by." She greeted her father's old apprentice. Mitsuki looked at her late master's daughter, and cousin of her student. She gave her a smile. "Long time no see Jarl Aeris-san, however you can call me either my name or with Master." She greeted her, and when she looked at the building that causes her sixth senses suddenly went haywire. She can see so many ghosts and how many deaths as she sees the flashback of those cults perform the sacrificial rituals. Once her vision pulled her back to reality, she let out a startled yelp and backed away from the temple with her hands covering her mouth. Vikings were puzzled of her terrifying reaction, but Aeris, who was about to call her only her name and rather stick with Mitsuki, understands why... she can see the ghosts, who were sacrificed.
Odelia walked up next to vin she watched as kratos opened the door to reveal the staining of the temple in red and she found herself gulping slowly as she seen the blood sprayed across the statues of the ancient gods and the message in which kratos read out so ominously, "This be not good... this is a bad...", she muttered under her breathe her skin was crawling at the sight and even though she had encountered much in the past few years the feeling of death on ones shoulder was never a comforting feeling; She turned to Aeris who commented on the this place being used for cult worship,"Aye Vin lets leave this place its tainted in the blood of those who most likley did not deserve this untimely death.. put perhaps they did... we can't judge their sins we are only human.. not gods", she turned to see a grandfather clock that had appeared out of nowhere and in that time she noticed people exiting such clock one of them Misuki in which Aeris calmed her vikings,"Mitsuki?", she said rather puzzled,"Aye...at this point lets head back to the ship I'm sure a whole reunion be on their way.. I woulldn't be surprised if me own family showed up at this point", she shook her head got her bottle of wine out and chugged a bit of it to steady herself from the craziness that always seems to transfolds;

"well that was fun" Cy'la said in her usual sarcastic tone but there was a hint of a smile, though if it was because of the bumpy ride their ship always caused or the face J'uko had wrapped his arms around her as he held onto the railings was anyone's guess (though the one that wouldn't get you punched would be the former). as she looked at the monitor showing the outside, both alien Jedi were in shock at all the blood "by the Force ...""it's worse than a Sith temple out there"J'uko said in barely a whisper he said then looked at the warriors there with primitive weapons (compared to them anyway) and the two knew their reactions wouldn't be ... fun. so they grabbed their cloaked, putting their hoods up before exiting with T7 on Cy'la's back, the small droid looking around curiously before crouching a bit and giving what could be seen as almost a shudder
Staring at the mayhem within the church of the norse gods, Vin only clenched his fist tight as he held Bjorn in his free arm. Looking back down at the corpse under him, he only tilted his head as he examined the attire. Cultist robes for sure but there was something interesting about it as there was a metal coin hanging from his neck. Leaning down as everyone was busy focusing on different things, he ripped the necklace off of what remained of the man's neck where he examined it. The language was something he had never read before, most people around these parts spoke in just common (English) or Nordic dialect. Placing the amulet in his pocket behind his robe, he let out a soft sigh until he heard Odelia speak someone's name. A name he hadn't heard in a long time. Straightening up his back, he turned his attention toward a woman that started his whole journey. He still remembered seeing her for the first time as a young man and still, she didn't look a day older,"...Mitsuki.." Kratos, in the meantime, was not worried of such things as blood as he continued to look around, wrapping his cloak tight around him and his spear in hand just in case anything were to pop out. Looking up at the top of Odin's statue's head, he noticed that there was a few ravens eating away at a head that looked dead for weeks. Groaning softly, he just shook his head before turning around, walking out to see that more have arrived. Making his spear disappear into the ring around his right ring finger, he watched as Vin walked over to another hero of the realms. This was quite interesting as he decided not to butt in but he silently observed what was going to happen. "It's been....far too long..", Vin spoke up softly as he was about to wrap his free arm around someone that he believed to be somewhat like a sister but he looked at himself first. He was covered in dark blood, knowing he did this out of anger and using darkness. Sighing softly, he looked at his hand which was covered in blood but he knew it was for a good reason as all of a sudden, the sound of a smiling Bjorn was music to his ears. He didn't want him to see his father like this so he spoke up softly,"This is Bjorn..my son...Jezebel and Lys are back at the longhouse...better we go there...would also be a good spot for your friends' ship..."
