Random stories

Ya Boi blinked awake, his back against hard wood and a whole buffet place in front of him.

"Whoa! What's all this 'bout?" He called out, and looking around, he could see ripped Vikings, chowing down on big mutton legs and the best beer. Looking closer though, there were also others among the Vikings. Soldiers, of all kinds of countries and times it looked it. Some random people, dressed in pretty weak fashion.

A big hand clapped down on his shoulder, and Ya Boi startled, in one fluid motion taking his gat out and aiming it behind himself. The huge bearded man with one blind eye smiled and praised him. "Even now, you are ready for battle. You truly belong here."

"Yo, like, where even am I, dawg?" The rapper asked, but with how friendly the big guy was, he put his pistol away. "Last I remember, I was like, at a battle, spitting fire, this other guy couldn't keep up..."

The large bearded man belly-laughed. "Yes! You fell in battle, your opponent striking you down with a surprise weapon not unlike the one in your pocket. Now, I am Odin, the All-Father, and I am pleased to welcome you, to Valhalla!"

Ya Boi blinked. "Uh, like the Avengers and shit?"

Odin tilted his head. "I am not sure what avengers you refer to, my friend. But here, you will dine and enjoy the finest food and drink, you may roam and meet some of the bravest warriors of all time."

"Whoa, like, other rappers too?"

The All-Father shrugged. "If that is what warrior type you are, then there are likely other rappers around. The last thing is, my wife Freya and I gathered you all here for another reason beyond honoring your bravery and valor. We here will all fight at the end of times, against the Jotnar. I am destined to die, as are many others, like my sons. But we will die in battle, and you all shall aid us in defeating those that are not to survive."

The rapper looked around. "Uh, hey man, I dunno if I can like, take down shit like that if it can kill like, vikings and you and shit."

Odin smiled. "Do not worry, warrior. At the end, all forms of battle are allowed. So you will be able to use your preferred weapons as a rapper, and the Jotnar will face you in that battlefield, at least the ones that face you."

Ya Boi grinned. "Hell yeah, man! I'm gonna smoke all these Jotty fools!"

"That's the spirit! To our newcomer Your Boy!" All mugs raised in toast.
