Chapter 1430: An Alliance?

-----
After what happened with Freyr, Gerd was left completely abandoned… Alone, she felt completely defeated. Her beloved Freyr, her husband, was taken away from her so ruthlessly… her heart was shattered into many pieces. She felt heart broken and completely defeated. The power that her father bestowed upon her, the powerful Axe that her father crafted out of his own bones to fight against the Aesir and the Vanir in the past, and the children of the other Titans… he singlehandedly defended his tribe. The titans that were still alive now spread across Genesis were all alive thanks to him.
Would they be able to do anything now that Odin had defeated Freyr? Why would they even help her anyway? It has been so long since the death of her father, the other titans had simply spread out and had been living their own lives. Many died in the Ragnarök anyways, so there weren't many out there to help her.
…Or maybe? Was there a small, faint hope in her heart?
As she rested over the wilderness and greenery of Freyr's divine realm in a state of comatose, the fairies of Freyr slowly healed her wounds. When she woke up, she found her wounds healed, and she felt revitalized.
She felt the power of Yggdrasil running through her body like never before… The fairies explained to her that they not only healed her, but they feed her droplets of Yggdrasil, an incredibly potent healing elixir, made out of the sap of the legendary tree that Freyr had before it got stolen by Odin.
This elixir… it could help heal a person from any wound, be it soul and body, perhaps it could help Freyr heal from the strange, cursed wound that Odin inflicted on him… But even if she wanted to take her husband back, how would she be able to accomplish this?
The axe she had was powerful, it possessed the might of her father, but was that enough? No matter how many years she practiced, she had to even attain a percentage of the truest might that her father once had while wielding it…
And above all, she was alone.
…Or was she?
Gerd realized the fairies, creations of Freyr, all wanted him to get better, they loved him as their father, and wanted him back as well. They might be weak physically, but their healing powers could even heal a titaness such as her. They could certainly be useful and put their own weight.
But she needed cavalry… strong beings capable of standing at her side to fight for Freyr. How would she be able to convince others to help her get her husband back from Odin, who had grown immensely strong?
However, the Axe spoke to her when she doubted the most, as if the spirit of Ymir lived within the axe and has been living all this time, it has finally emerged to guide her path.
"Gerd… my daughter… Gather your siblings scattered across the Realms… They'll listen to you as long as you hold this Axe with the same might that I once did."
"F-Father?!"
"…"
However, after those words were said, the Axe remained in silence. Gerd couldn't lament her husband's kidnaping for eternity either… She was a strong titaness woman, she wasn't going to let a stupid bearded man take away her beautiful and handsome Freyr which she loved more than anything in the world.
"Freyr… For you I will do anything… Wait for me."
Valiantly, she traveled across the Realms, using her Axe, she found her siblings one by one. Each one of them lived hiding, in fear of wars and disturbance, drowning in their own self-loathing.
But when they saw her wielding her Axe, when they heard her war cry and her rally… they felt inspired. Like never before- no, like once before when they were led by their father, Ymir.
She quickly gathered a large quantity of titans and with her fairies, she already had millions. She moved forward, but recalled something… Wasn't Freyja, a Supreme Goddess with incredible power, Freyr's sister? Why didn't she helped him when she could?
Gerd came to confront her. She had a grudge against Freyja, she was such an awful sister to her beloved husband who had always been such a kind-hearted and gentle man. To Gerd Freyr was someone too nice with everybody, that always let others bully him or take advantage of him. perhaps that pure nature she never found in any man was what captivated her from others, but also, it was a big weakness that let even his family members abuse him.
She despised those that bullied her beloved and came to confront Freyja no matter if she was a supreme goddess or whatever… Gerd had grown a bit insane after what happened, and she had no patience now, even if Freyja could kill her in one shot if she wanted, she won't go down without telling Freyr's sister some truths.
"Gerd?"
Freyja looked at Gerd, the enormous and muscular brown-skinned titaness, as she looked down at Freyr's sister.
"You're my husband's sister, right?"
"I… I am."
"Look, I never liked you, you were always awful! Freyr was always a good person and your selfishness abused of his kind heart, and to boot, you ended hating him for nothing!" Said Gerd. "Now he's gone, and Odin… I don't know what he's planning but we have to do something! We can't stand here… right?"
"I know…" Sighed Freyja. "Odin came here…"
"W-What?"
Freyja explained to Gerd what happened, Gerd's eyes opened wide open.
"Freyja…"
"I… I also love my brother more than anything, you know?! I… I would never abandon him but… I was tricked… now even my child… I… I…!"
Gerd held Freyja with her enormous hands, as she petted her.
"Freyja, don't cry."
"G-Gerd…"
"Let's do this together."
"But… the dangers… I…"
"And what do you want to do? To cry a river for eternity?"
"No… But…"
"Let's go and show Odin and his children that we are not people he can easily abuse!"
"Gerd…"
Freyja felt inspired, the titaness… was someone that won't easily falter against adversities.
