Flurry found that the couple of weeks following the end of Ragnarok were definitely interesting as they confirmed one of the more important things after dealing with King Hrolf and his Berserkers, and that was the fact that Fimbulwinter was over, as the snow in Midgard melted and all of the other realms reported things returning to normal. This was more than what they had witnessed during their journey to track down the various gravestones so they could battle the cursed warriors that Mimir hated with every fiber of his being, or what he had left anyway, as the Lake of Nine was becoming a lake again. This also meant that all of the other creatures of the land were able to come out and live again, instead of being trapped in their dens while they tried to survive the harsh winter, and Flurry was pleased to see that many creatures had survived, as this would allow them to thrive once more. Of course this also required her and the others to make sure the predators didn't thin the herds of the other animals, otherwise the entire ecosystem would collapse on itself in no time, but with the aid of the rest of the Greek gods, and the Titans, they were able to do some great work.

With Gaia's help they were able to coax out food and shelter for the animals of Midgard, those that didn't need meat like the predators, and both Kratos and Deimos stopped the predators, redirecting them to other areas to leave the other creatures alone, earning them a nod from Flurry, Freya, and the others working with them.

Of course Midgard wasn't the only place they worked in, as there was an entire region of Vanaheim that was in chaos, with creatures that were disrupting the natural balance, though this time around Kratos, Flurry, and Pandora didn't kill them, as one would have done back in Greece. This time around the dragons that were in the region were calmed down and each one was found a new home in a different realm, where they could live in peace without destroying the ecosystem, while those that were bound to the ground found that some people were willing to work with them. This was all due to Atreus' skill in talking to animals, otherwise Kratos was sure that they would have had to kill some of the dragons and other creatures, a fact that Flurry had been hoping to avoid, and it seemed like his son had just the touch they needed to make that happen, to which he and the others smiled in response to his work. There were two figures in the crater that needed killing, one was a stalker that was much like the one that attacked them after Odin showed up at their house, something Kratos and Freya just hunted down together and took out, since she was a hazard that was obstructing the growth of the land.

The other one, to no one's surprise, was a Soul Eater, where Flurry simply slashed it to pieces with the Blade of Olympus, as she despised those things with a passion and found that no one was sad to see the stone figure go, rather they were happy to see it perish since that meant life would thrive in this fractured area.

One thing that they were curious about was the frozen lightning bolt that was in the crater area, where Thor informed them that he once fought Faye in this area and the collision between their powers, and both Mjolnir and the Leviathan Axe, caused the destruction they had seen during their time in Vanaheim. Thor admits that he had been drinking heavily that day, due to a mysterious creature that appeared out of nowhere and seemed to have an endless drink with him, in fact he couldn't even recall what it looked like, before he and Faye fought, causing all the destruction they had seen. Part of him realized he might need to spend some time in Freya's realm, fixing some of the damage he had caused since he was the only one left of the pair that had created the crater, something that caused Freya to nod, since it was nice to see the change in him and how genuine it seemed to be. Kratos also informed the others that he had no knowledge of this battle, as while Faye had told him and his daughters plenty over the years, to help them understand what she had been through, she clearly hadn't told them everything and there was a chance that they might never know everything, which he accepted.

Other than that there didn't seem to be much else for them to do, as even the Einherjar had surrendered, figuring that it was foolish to face Death itself, and under the guidance of Sigrun and the Shield Maidens, plus their newest recruit, they were turned from a force of oppression into a force that was supposed to protect the Nine Realms.

Flurry spent some time chatting with the Titans, who used their mortal visages to speak with her so they didn't have to worry about breaking anything with their massive footsteps, as that was what they called the forms they had taken when Gaia and the others arrived with the rest of the army before Flurry made her move against Odin. Gaia was able to tell her and the rest of her family that Greece was back to normal, as she and the other Titans had spent a long time calming the chaos that had been caused by the deaths of so many corrupted gods, and that included the awakening of new deities to replace them, a fact that made Flurry smile. Tyr also approved of this turn of events, because it meant that things had drastically improved for two lands, which also meant that his efforts to hide what happened in Greece had been worthwhile, and he found that he wasn't needed to help Kratos or his family out, as it appeared that Faye had done his work for him. It was a reminder of the fact that he had invited them to the Nine Realms in the first place, to help them discover things about themselves, but thanks to the time maelstrom they had been drawn into it seems like everything had worked out in the end.

Eventually the day came when Angrboda decided that it was time to show Atreus and the family something that was very important to them, though Flurry stopped them for a moment, not because she was nervous, rather she felt something new in the air that seemed different from everything she had felt so far.

"This magic isn't from Greece, the Nine Realms, or even Egypt... it feels like..." Flurry commented, as her senses were trying to track down the source of the magic she was feeling, because there was something familiar about it that she couldn't put her finger on and part of her had a faint hope that it was someone from her home world.

"Home? Yes, someone from Equestria has tracked you down." Tyr replied, because he could feel the change in the air and knew that it was someone from Flurry's home, it was hard for him to forget the power that she and her kind wielded, which was when they felt a change in the air outside Sindri's house and discovered that there was a purple crack in reality resting in the center of the area, "Though that's new... I've never seen that before."

In the next moment the crack spread out, like glass cracking since it moved everywhere, before forming an oval that burst open, the shards of reality forming a frame around the portal that had opened in front of them, much like the Doors that the family used to move from one realm to another.

"Okay, portal generation is stable and there are no problems to speak of." a voice said, where they found that it was a blue feline creature in what looked like a suit of armor, a female creature by the looks of it, though Flurry had never seen this sort of armor and it was clear that Tyr was surprised by this as well, and she had a yellow backpack on her back, an orange scarf around her neck, and what appeared to be a hammer of sorts in her right hand, "Hey, Discord? I found her... I think."

"You... were looking for me?" Flurry asked, though that made sense when she thought about it, her Equestrian family was likely worried sick about her and had no doubt spent a lot of time tracking her down, though as she said that they found that a tall chimera creature, that was the only way to describe what she was seeing, stepped out of the portal.

"You bet I was. Name's Rivet, this is Kit, and that's Discord... I'm helping him track down the Displaced." the feline, Rivet, said, where the second name seemed to be for her backpack, which turned out to be a living creature of sorts when it opened it's eyes and waved at them, before Flurry focused on the chimera creature, as he seemed to be a mix of a dragon, eagle, goat, snake, and many other creatures mixed into a single body, "You are... what was it again... Flurry Heart, right?"

"That's right. What do you want with my sister?" Atreus inquired, though he, like the rest of the group, already suspected that these were the ones they were waiting for, because if Flurry was as strong as she was, and she was stronger than anyone else in both Greece and the Nine Realms, it stood to reason that the other residents might be on her level and would have powers like this.

"We're here to bring her home... and by that I mean let her see the world she came from, meet up with her family, and get to know what's going on." the chimera creature, Discord, stated, where it sounded like he was tired for some reason, which was when everything clicked in Flurry's mind, as Rivet had called her one of the 'Displaced', which meant there were more of her kind out there, lost and in need of finding, or not if they were as strong as she was.

"Is it war?" Kratos asked, because after everything Tyr had said about Flurry's kind, and they were still getting used to most of the information the traveling god had told them about, he had to assume that something massive was going on, and right now the only thing that could come to mind was some sort of war.

"Good guess. You are correct." the backpack creature, Kit as Rivet had called it, stated, where they determined that it had a female voice, causing Kratos to look at it, or her he guessed, like she was like one of Pandora's old statues, like someone was communicating through her, but based on what he was seeing it looked like she had a will of her own, "More information will be shared on the other side of the portal. We have allies that would like to speak with you."

Flurry had to assume that some of those allies were, in fact, her Equestrian family and that they wanted to see her, though it was odd that they weren't the ones coming through the portal to track her down, something that worried her since she had no idea what had happened since her disappearance. As she looked at the trio for a time she could confirm that Discord was from her home world, he had magic that seemed familiar to hers, yet different at the same time, and she could tell that the area on the other side of the portal was brimming with magic, the type her kind was known for while being mixed with all sorts of different types of magic. It made her curious as to what was going on, especially with the fact that they were facing a war of their own, something that had even Tyr worried since he knew her people more than anyone else and had known her kind were mostly peaceful creatures, or at least that was what he had told them. This meant something was happening and that it would be in their best interest to head to her home world to see what in the world was going on, something that was followed by her glancing at her family and their immediate friends for a moment, to see what they thought.

Kratos smiled for a moment as he stepped up to his daughter, his spear in his right hand while he placed his left hand on her shoulder for a few seconds, while at the same time Pandora lifted her halberd and placed it on her shoulders, Deimos raised his own shield and spear, Atreus checked his bow, and Freya readied her weapons.

"Flurry, it is time for us to see what your home has to offer you... and to see what sort of help they need." Kratos stated, as he was interested in seeing what sort of world was on the other side of the portal, because it was one thing to listen to Tyr's stories about Flurry's home and it was another to actually see it with their own eyes, so he was eager to help his daughter head back home and discover what sort of war her people were planning, because if it was among themselves he knew they could help stop it.

Flurry nodded and turned towards the trio that was in front of them, where she stepped towards the portal with a smile on her face as she imagined what might be on the other side of it, as it was time to see what she had left behind and face whatever the future held in store for her, her friends, her family, and her home world.
