Chapter 5 - Kai's Birthday

Six years passed since then and Kaiser was now a teen who had a black wolf by his side as they were hunting at the moment in the wilderness.

"Fenrir, do you see what I see?" asks Kai as Fenrir growls quietly towards what they were seeing when beside them a woman with ashen hair and a man with red hair appeared.

"Drowners, you should be able to deal with them," says the ashen-haired woman as Kai and Fenrir rushed out of their cover with Kai holding two axes with Nordic Runes on them.

They were completely black with a bright edge and the runes being golden as the runes were Uruz, Teiwaz, Berkana, Ebwaz, Laguz, and Dagas. Kai was wearing a black Viking armor as most of it was fur with metal guarding the shoulders, hands, underarms, feet, and thins. The runes on the armor were written in golden as well representing, Uruz, Eibwaz, Algiz, Teiwaz, Berkana, Ebwaz, Laguz, and Ixa.

Kai pulled the Drowners towards him while using magic when Fenrir jumped towards the first and got the throat of the Drowner in his jaws killing the first. Kai passed him as he swings his ax against a Drowner cutting right through it as if it was nothing while using the second ax to block the incoming attack.

Then Fenrir rushed at Kai who pushed the Drowner back before Fenrir jumped over Kai and killed it with his claws before another monster appeared and the two companions felt that they needed to intervene when Logan appears.

"You two stay down," says Logan when both looked at him.

"That is a Water Hag they are far more dangerous than some Drowners," says the woman when the man tries to calm her down.

"Calm down, Ciri. Father knows what he is doing," says the man as Ciri looked at him angrily.

"Ray, you should know the danger of underestimating a Water Hag. We almost lost Logan Jr. to a Water Hag because he got reckless," says Ciri as Ray sighs.

"But he survived and learned a harsh lesson of never underestimating an enemy. But Kaiser isn't like our boy," says Ray as he watched Kai rush towards the Water Hag when Fenrir grew bigger.

Kai jumped onto Fenrir's back as they observed the Water Hag when he saw her take some mud making Kai throw one of his axes at her making the Hag lose her grip over the mud before Fenrir was near the Hag. Then Kai jumped from Fenrir's back ramming his ax into the Water Hag's head making a clean vertical cut splitting the body in two.

Then Kai picks the ax he has thrown towards the hag up and places them on his belt before petting Fenrir that turned smaller again.

"You have done well, Kaiser," says Logan coming out of the bushes with Ray and Ciri.

Logan took a good look at the teen that seemed more like a man with his 1,8m. Logan saw that Kai's hair under the helmet was long and messy but his blue eyes gave the feeling of firmness and determination from them.

"Thank you, Master," says Kai with a smile as his eyes turned warm.

He took his helmet off and Logan could see from who he got the idea to grow his hair so long.

"You want your hair to resemble Eivor's," says Logan as Kai smiles.

"Well, she had nice long hair that was tied up. But mine is too messy it seems," says Kai as he scratched his head.

Logan snapped his finger and the Savage Hairstyle appeared with the right side been cut completely away while the rest formed braided tails that rested on the left shoulder falling towards his left chest.

"We should return your mother is worried about you," says Logan as Kai was excited to see her again.

"It has been two years since you arrived here. We will miss you," says Ray as he put his hand on Kai's shoulder.

"In those two years, you really grew to our hearts. If you can return to visit us once in a while," says Ciri as she was sad that her first student was leaving her already.

"I will," says Kai with a warm smile as Logan touches his shoulder and they disappeared only to appear in front of the Masters' Mansion.

"We are back, Fenrir," says Kai as the people walking beside him looked at him confused since he was still in armor.

"We should enter," says Logan as Kai didn't even care about them.

They entered the Mansion and find it quite empty when Kai shouts, "I'm back!"

His voice echoed around the quiet mansion when a group of people entered the room while holding a big cake was coming towards him while singing 'Happy Birthday' to him.

They stood in front of him as he didn't know that today was his birthday since the calendar was different in the Northern Kingdoms.

Rebecca saw her boy and hugs him while saying, "My boy is already a man it seems."

"Of course look at him. He looks like a proud warrior," says Thor seeing Kaiser in his armor.

"How about you blow the candles out," says Logan as Kai blows them all out before they began to eat.

Freya sat down across from Kai when she asks, "You still remember my lessons?"

"Of course," says Kai as Freya pinched his cheek.

"Good, you are already fourteen which means that it's time for you to find some girl to have fun with for the rest of your life," says Freya as she smiled since she taught Kai how to persuade a woman.

"Don't listen to her, boy," says Thor as he sits down beside Kai before saying, "You are still young have some fun with as many girls as possible before deciding on one."

"I think he is still too young for both things," says Rebecca as she glared at both gods.

"Just look for a nice girl that can understand you. Not one that just wants to enter your pants," says Rebecca as she didn't want Kai to follow in her footsteps.

"How about we stop talking about women and celebrate his birthday," says Odin as he joined them with Frigga.

"We have a gift for you, Kaiser," says Frigga as both looked at Logan who snapped his finger and an armor appeared on a stand.

It was still too big for Kai when Frigga says, "We asked Logan to created the same armor Graham used before as well as his axes."

Kai looked at the armor before the armor shrank to fit Kai. He was surprised like the others when Kai took his armor off making some scars visible that he showed off proudly.

"That armor not only belonged to Graham Masters but also to an unknown Nord. It's called the Nord Hero Armor just that this one is darker so your axes and the armor fit together while having a majestic mane around the neck. It has the same runes inside the armor as your actual armor just that this armor grows with you," says Logan as Kai put it on.

"It is heavier than it looks but I can still move perfectly in it. How does it look?" asks Kai as he gave a majestic aura from himself as if he was an unmovable mountain.

"It fits you, but you still have a long way before you," says Logan when he took a picture out with the Nord Hero on it.

"Now you only need his beard and it will be perfect but take your time for that since most women don't like a beard at first," says Logan as he petted Kai.

"Give me your axes," says Logan as Kai hands them over.

They began to shine as they grew bigger before they turned black again when Logan gives them back and says, "Now they should fit into your hands always."

"Fenrir, come here," says Logan as Fenrir rushed at Logan.

Logan petted him and the black wolf's fur began to shine making it look majestic as Logan says, "The seal was removed. It seems you found a worthy partner."

Fenrir howls in agreement as he jumped at Kai to lick his face while Fenrir's tail showed his happiness making the people in the room laugh at seeing Fenrir's reaction.

Logan then picked up another animal of Kai's who seemed more lazy than Fenrir wanting to perform the seal removement. It was a long white snake resembling an anaconda when its scales began to shine just like Fenrir's fur.

"It seems that Jörmungandr is as lazy as ever but even his seal was removed from his body," says Logan seeing the snake coil itself around Kai showing its happiness differently than Fenrir but both are completely loyal to Kai.

"Well then, Kai. We reached the end of your training with me. Now you must walk your own path without my or the others' help. You will have to decide it for yourself. You can ask for their advice but always remember," says Logan as he pressed his index finger against Kai's chest.

"This will show you the right way always," says Logan as he takes a key out with a pouch and a letter.

"The key opens your Vault in Gringotts Wizarding Bank while the pouch can store objects into it like the money you want to take out of the Vault I opened it when you were six. On every birthday of yours I multiplied the amount inside it by two," says Logan as he stored the Wizard Money he still had from his travel back then.

"And this letter is your entrance to Hogwarts. The school you wanted to enter a long time now," says Logan as Kai hugs Logan.

"Thank you for everything," says Kai as he was happy when Logan smiles.

"We will meet one day but be sure that I will be watching your progress," says Logan as he vanished this time for good.

They continue to celebrate Kai's birthday since Logan wouldn't want them to feel sad about him leaving them when Kai opened the letter and read it saying, "They will send someone to help you with buying the stuff you need for this year."

In the meantime somewhere nearby, a girl received a letter from Dumbledore. She had a brown mane and has larger front teeth as she opened the letter she was confused that they would get a transfer student that lived nearby her.

"So a new student the same age as me and the others," says the girl as she suddenly recognized the name while saying, "No way, they must have misspelled the name. Kaiser never has shown any magical potential when he was around me."

Then a second letter arrived but not from Hogwarts but from the Weasleys telling her to come with them to the Quidditch World Cup when Hermione asks herself, "What should I do?"

"I should ask if I can bring someone with me that way Kaiser can see the Magical World for the first time," says Hermione to herself as she wrote a letter and gave it to the owl of the Weasleys before it took off.
