My Lord of the North, Watcher of the Æsir, General of the Valkyries,
I send this message by way of Hermes because it is of the utmost importance.
Time has run against me. Against all of us. I trust you know what I am talking about. Perhaps I put too much faith in just one human girl. She has accomplished much of what I asked, but this is just too much. I fear for the future.
I have thought of an alternative. We must send him to the humans. Perhaps living among them would help him gain a better alternative. In order to do that, I need your help. Stripping him completely of his godliness and memories will be painful for him. With your help, the pain shall be quick.
I implore you Lord of Ravens. Think of your kin. It will be what's best for him…and the world.
By the word of the Ruler of the Olympians.
Zeus.
Zeus
Is there no other way? Have you exhausted all avenues? You seem to think that you know all and yet you have failed here.
Regardless, I shall be at your garden post haste. I don't want him to be afraid. I don't want him to cry. If it will make it quick, I have no choice but to comply.
But do you know how risky this is? His power is a double-edged sword. Yes he brings the darkness, but his light keeps the darkness at bay. Humans need his light to guard against the dangers that lurk. The world cannot last long without his light.
I give it a year. One year. We can hold back what hides in the darkness, but not for long. If he cannot regain his powers by then, fate help us all. I shudder to think what cataclysm will happen.
From the voices of Thought and Mind.

A/N: This was supposed to be an idea for the second part of Draumer Edda, but ultimately I scrapped it and the second part will be different. I don't want to give too much away, but since I had so much of this story thought out I thought it would be waste to scrap it completely so I made it a separate story in its own little AU world because I wasn't completely satisfied with the anime ending. Draumer Edda is still my primary story, I just have to lay this out for my own benefit.
