Atreus appeared in Brok's shop, approaching the blue Dwarf at the center table as Brok approaches the table on the other side as well.
"Tryin' to see if the bridge will open up hoping Baldur or any other Aesir will come out?"
"Yes and No. But I came here for some answers hoping you can help me. Is there another way to get to Asgard instead of using the travel room?"
"Well if there was, all of the Aesir will literally kill the moment you take the first fuckin' step."
Atreus just stares at the blue Dwarf with in irritation," You're kidding me?!"
"No I'm not kiddin' you. Look kid there is no other path to that leads to Odin's hairy white ass so you can just forget about it."
Atreus studies Brok really hard, he knew that something about him felt strange until it hit him in back of him.
"You're hiding something from me, are you?"
Brok sighed in realization, he was right. "Fine then, there is another path to Asgard but the funny thing about that is that I don't know anything about it."
"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS?" Atreus yells out loud, making Brok jump back a bit.
"Oh believe me, I'm serious."
Atreus places his hands over his face in frustration, "Why did I even come here at all."
"huh, I was askin' myself the exact same question in my head."
"Can you just be quiet for at least a minute. Please." Atreus said to Brok calmly, trying not to be angry.
"Why didn't you just say so." Brok replies with his arms crossed.
Atreus thinks for a minute as he walks back and forth, 'The realm travel room has always been the way to travel to other world but not Asgard. Since we destroyed the trees for Laufey's pyre Baldur somehow came to Midgard without the realm travel room since it was under the water. Maybe Sindri's might know something about the other path.'
Atreus looks back at Brok, "Thanks for the information Brok. Well, you weren't exactly must help though."
"Okay... Now the fuck else you need?"
"I don't need anything else Brok. So I'm fine."
"Alright then."
Atreus lets Brok be for a while while he exits Tyr's temple to look for Sindri meanwhile at Freya's place the beautiful goddess was gathering fruits from her front garden with Charlie keeping watch as other animals such as boars and dears walk across her home. Minutes later she went back inside her house to have a nice conversation with Mimir.
"Freya you do know of the bifrost. Why would lie to the boy?" Mimir asks the queen of the Valkyries/Odin's wife.
"I only wanted to protect him for his own good."
"You're not his mother you know. Atreus lost his sister a day ago. The lad needs help."
"I know that Mimir. Atreus needs to just calm down, and relax himself. We'll tell him in time."
In her front door a knock was heard, Freya and Mimir grew suspicious to who could be out there, an Aesir god? Atreus? but they weren't sure. Freya slowly walks to the front door, she places her hand on the door preparing to open it. Freya opens the door only to see seven people standing before her. Norse Kratos and Greek Kratos, two of these men held weapons on their backs, had red tattoos marks on the left side of their faces as another man Deimos holds a spartan shield and spear and had a flaming tattoo similar to the two Kratos's red tattoos where the fourth man known as Orkos only held a dagger, and two beautiful woman/Lysandra and Faye stood next to Pandora.
"What is it that you are searching for? it is only me." Freya said
"We're looking for my son, Atreus he is with his sister Calliope is he not? Have you seen him? All of us came here to this land when heard of Calliope being poisoned. Is she well?" Norse Kratos asks in a cold voice as everyone else remains silent.
Freya stands where she is not saying anything until she replied "Come on in. There is something you all must know."
All of the seven visitors walked into Freya's home, as she and Mimir began to tell everything to them before Calliope's abduction. Meanwhile Atreus was still on the bouts of looking for Sindri, he soon travel the Foothills of where he first met and in relief he was there. Atreus walked to Sindri's workshop.
"Sindri, I need your help!" Atreus said in a rush.
"Sure... Wait where's-" Sindri was cut off by Atreus,"She's been taken to Asgard by Baldur."
Sindri looks down after hearing that from the boy who lost his little sister, "I'm very sorry to hear that."
"Look, I'll be quick about this. Brok, he mentioned something about another path that leads to Asgard but using the travel bridge won't be able to help me."
"There is another path actually, it's called the bifrost. A rainbow bridge that leads to the home of the Aesir but it's guarded by the god Heimdallr. He has the best eyesight, he can see anything in the universe even has the best hearing too. If you think about going past him he'll know every direction, plan, and move you make. You're not considering finding the bifrost and taking on Heimdallr are you?"
"Yes I am. Look it's my fault for Calliope being taken by the Aesir I can't give up and you know that. Now where do I find this bifrost?" Atreus asks Sindri.
"That I actually have no idea. There are rumors that Odin moves the bifrost anywhere whenever a human walks through it. A few humans who walk around"
"Hmm." Atreus replies as he thinks for a moment thinking of a way to find this so called bifrost, if there are still Reavers or more humans on Midgard that can give him some information about the bifrost then that is what he will do but if not then he will just have lurk around all of Midgard to find it on his own. "Thanks Sindri. I guess I should be on my way."
"Wait, were are you going?"
"I'm going see if I can find the bifrost. And if I can't I'll go back to Freya's home or Brok's shop."
"Are you sure about this Atreus, I mean what would your father or mother say about this?"
"I'm sure that they're fine with it. I can take down an enemy without even braking a sweat."
"Except Heimdallr you know."
"I'll take him down."
Sindri groans, "Don't say I didn't warn you."
"Fine with me, later Sindri."
Atreus runs into the forest, stops for a moment. He first looks at his surroundings making sure that nothing is watching him until the coast was clear. He breathes calmly as he focuses on an animal that's wants to shape-shift into, yellow dust surrounds his entire body from head to toe and the creature that he transforms into is an crow as he soars off into the sky. Hours later night time approaches as the sun began to set on the horizon, Atreus still searching for the bifrost but he started to finally get really tired of flying for such a long time. Atreus lands on the ground surrounded by trees, the ground is full of snow as he shape-shifts back into his human form.
The young god sits near a tree to relax for a while.
"How hard is it to find the bifrost? Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. Someone must know about the bifrost."
Atreus suddenly hears a voice being heard from the forest, but it's a cry for help, they're from mortals. Atreus follows the voice, as he draws closer he sees a small girl younger than him possibly seven to eight years-old lost and alone, crying softly.
"Are you lost?"
The young child turns around by the voice that shocked her. She takes a few steps back scared if the boy might attack her because of his weapons that he still held on his back. Atreus walks closer slowly not to scare the girl as he reaches out his hand.
"I'm not going to hurt you. I can help take you back to your mother."
The girl didn't say a word to Atreus but he understood his words, she was petrified of the dark forest and it's monster's that still wander around these lands. The girl reaches Atreus's hand and the boy gently holds it with his taking care not to use his godly strength to break it. Atreus quickly smiles as the young girl smiles.
"What's your name?" Atreus asks the young girl.
"Casandra."
"Ah, well Casandra my names Atreus."
"It's nice to meet you Atreus."
"Likewise. Anyway I'll help you get back to your mom and dad."
"Thank you, Atreus." Hearing that amazing news from the twelve year-old Casandra gives him a hug catching Atreus off guard because it reminded him of Calliope. Atreus regains his thoughts as he hugs her back. Atreus and Casandra walk together for a while until they spotted a house in an opened area pass the trees. Casandra's mother and father burst out of the front door running to their daughter as Casandra does the same leaving Atreus behind to let them have a moment. Atreus began to leave but Casandra's mother's voice stops him.
"Wait, we should thank you for bringing back our daughter. We should give you something in return."
"No thank you, I only wanted to help bring her back...But there is one thing I need to know. Do you happen to know where the bifrost is?"
"The Bifrost. Two days ago we took our daughter to see the beautiful bridge, it's located in Norway."
Atreus smiles at good of where the bifrost is located, "Thank you." After they have all said their goodbyes Atreus runs off into the distance as his footsteps faded into the forest. Atreus feels somewhat happy about helping someone for the first time in years but that didn't matter right now, what truly mattered was going to the bifrost to get Calliope back.
Back at Scandinavia, the seven deities still look for Atreus after Sindri explains everything about what happened the last time he saw Atreus by telling him of the bifrost.
"Boy! Atreus!" Norse Kratos calls his son's name again. And he's been doing that for many hours.
"Atreus! Where are you!" Faye cries out as well but still no hope but they do not know about his journey to Norway. Faye was actually getting tired of walking for so long as Lysandra, Greek Kratos, Orkos, Deimos and Pandora follow in pursuit.
"Kratos, I can't... go any further. Neither of us can." Faye kneels down to the ground, panting. Norse Kratos kneels down to her level.
"Faye, Lysandra, Pandora go back to Freya's home. We will keep searching for him."
"No my love. I don't want you to tire yourself out." Kratos chuckles as he gets second wife back up to her feet.
"You know I never get tired from anything. I will find our son. He's strong and brave like me but if I don't find him sooner vengeance will consume him. And I can not let that happen."
Faye sighed quietly at that fact as she places her hand softly on the left side of his face, "Very well. Be safe my love."
Norse Kratos kept moving as Faye, Lysandra, and Pandora walk back to Freya's home. The other 3 warriors follow Norse Kratos.
Atreus descends on the ground shape-shifts back into his human form again as he lands in front of the bifrost. Atreus stares in awe for a second as he walks onto the bridge not turning back whatsoever as he thinks of Heimdallr who already knows of his arrival to Asgard. If he can get pass Heimdallr he can save his little sister from the Aesir's tyranny. The road ahead was long but he finally made it to the huge sphere area where the bifrost's path ends as he sees Heimdallr. His skin was as pale as death similar to his father's. He was dressed in Golden armor from head to toe with a huge sword that's he holds from his hip.
"You shall not enter the realm of Asgard." Heimdallr says to the twelve year-old boy with a threat.
"Get out of my way." Atreus replies back
"That I can't allow, boy. I know why you have come here."
"Then you know I won't be leaving without my sister. Give her back to me and I'll let every Aesir live."
"I'm not the one in command, The Allfather gives the demands. And you're trespassing." Heimdallr raised his long sword at Atreus, ready for a fight.
Atreus scoffed as he takes out his blades of chaos, "I've killed monsters worse than you. You can't stop me, nothing can."
"We'll just have to see about that."
