God of War: Daughter of War

With the Travel Rune to Jotunheim in hand Kratos returned to Brok's shop inside the temple and tried to use the Door to open the way back to the summit they found Mimir on, causing the dwarf to share with them an unfortunate piece of news, that he checked the Door up there and it had been dismantled. He wasn't sure who was responsible for that, other than him, Sindri, the squirrel that tended to the World Tree, or Odin himself, causing the family to instantly assume it was Odin and that Baldur was likely on his way now that their shortcut was blocked, but Brok figured he'd share what he knew with the family. With that in mind Kratos made sure to hand over the Blades of Chaos and the Chaos Flame they recovered from the elemental trolls in Tyr's vault, allowing the dwarf to empower the weapons once more before handing them back, with a reminder that he was serious about hearing the tale of their forging in the future, when they weren't busy. Kratos simply told him that he would think about it, something that seemed to appease Brok as he shooed them out the door once more, to which the family departed from the temple and headed back to the path that would end up bringing them to Sindri again.

While they walked Atreus commented on the fact that he couldn't wait to tell Sindri that they were gods, in fact he was of the opinion that the dwarf would be surprised when he told him that piece of information, causing Kratos to tell him that they weren't doing that, rather if they saw the dwarf they would greet him and continue on their way.

"What's the point of keeping it a secret? I'm sure Sindri and Brok have figured us out by now." Atreus remarked, where he entered the inside of the Realm Tower that would bring them back to the mountain path without delay, finding that it was still devoid of enemies.

"It is not important to our current quest. They do not need to know." Kratos replied, as he still preferred to keep some of their privacy intact, because if it got out that there were gods from other lands in the Nine Realms he was sure that all sorts of people, mortal and god alike, would come swooping in to bother them.

"Sounds like you prefer to lie to our friends... lying and secrets are Odin's way. We should be open, like Tyr was." Atreus said, showing them that he seemed to think that his opinion was the right one and that hiding who they were was just a mistake that he really didn't want to make, even if that meant butting his head with his father for a time.

"Lad, I'm sure Brok and Sindri would do the same thing if they had something they didn't want to tell us." Mimir stated, as everyone had secrets they didn't want others to know, hence why they didn't say anything about them in the first place, so he could understand why Kratos wanted to keep them being gods a secret, at least until Atreus was taught enough to stop the power from going to his head, "Tell me, are you excited to visit the realm of the Giants?"

"Yeah, but I'm also sad the journey is almost over." Atreus answered, though as he said that Kratos opened the door and stepped out into the area that they had first encountered Sindri in, where they quickly found that the dwarf was working on something right now, just like every other time they had seen him in the past, where he found a metallic gear coming towards him and he stopped it with his foot, "Oh, can I tell him?"

While the sisters said 'no', since they knew Atreus would only make a scene of it, Sindri was interested in what he might have to say and only seemed to back off a little when Kratos told him it was just a family matter that they had been in the middle of discussing before entering this area.

"Don't worry, I get what you mean... I could tell you a thing or two about family drama." Sindri remarked, while he lifted the gear and returned it to the table he needed it on so he could continue his work on it, even though he did have to take a few steps every now and then since it was slightly heavier than he thought it was.

"Ugh, let me guess: your brother isn't as talented as you are and his work is trash?" Atreus angrily inquired, showing both his family and Sindri that he was annoyed about hearing about the feud between him and Brok, where Sindri paused for a few seconds as he thought about what had been said.

"Um, those are accurate remarks. What's your point?" Sindri asked, because the reality was that he wasn't going to say a word about the drama that existed between him and Brok, he could tell that Kratos was tired of it, it was on his face every time it was brought up, so he had plans to say something else until Atreus interrupted his train of thought.

"It's all you two ever talk about when we see you, over and over again without end... either do something about it, or shut up and accept it you coward!" Atreus snapped, showing them that he was sick and tired of listening to the brothers talk about their problems, while doing nothing to mend the bridges that had been burnt in the past, where Flurry noticed that a golden curved horn, like that from a crown, grew out of her brother's forehead, right above his right eye, while Sindri was shocked as the sky darkened, "Yeah! We're sick and tired of hearing about little people's little problems!"

Sindri dropped his tools in shock as he heard that, since he wasn't expecting Atreus, of all people, to say such a thing, in fact he had been expecting Kratos to make a comment about it, before gesturing for the family to follow as he quickly did some work on the Leviathan Axe, strengthening it as Flurry found a second horn, identical to the first, growing above her brother's left eye, which were as thick as her own unique horn. At the same time she noted that the sky darkened, which meant that Thor had to be pissed about something, since she was sure that it wasn't tied to her brother, though she also noticed how Atreus didn't seem to notice his odd changes, like he was focused on being a god and nothing else. Kratos told Sindri that they would talk some sense into his son during the journey, since he wasn't supposed to be like this, and the dwarf merely nodded his head, showing them that he was in shock by Atreus' attitude change and the changes that were happening to his body. The changes did tell Flurry that he must have been cursed by the mirror, it was the only way to explain what they were seeing, though it did make her wonder how they were going to reverse it so he returned to his normal form, and, hopefully, his normal personality at some point.

After making sure that Sindri was fine, even though he was definitely hurt by Atreus' comment, the family found that there were a few nightmares and even some wulver in the area leading into the mountain, though as Kratos fought he discovered that his son seemed more aggressive than before, even though it ended with them defeating their foes with ease. In addition to those enemies they discovered that there was an ogre entering the battle and the family engaged it like they had done with all of the other enemies they had encountered in the past, quickly bringing it down as Flurry and Pandora slashed it down. Once their enemies were taken care of, for the time being since there were likely more waiting on the rest of the long path, Atreus smirked and asked if the monsters really thought that their numbers were enough to bring them down, which just showed them that his arrogance was starting to take over. At the same time Pandora noticed that the lift they had used to get back to where the Black Breath was resting was broken again, meaning they literally had to go through the entirety of the trek to Mimir's peak again, while Atreus frowned for a moment as he saw the device.

"You know, I'm really starting to doubt Sindri's skill... I mean, he's good at tending to armor and weapons, but everything else he touches just seems to break." Atreus commented, though while he was disappointed in the lift being disabled, since it did mean they would have to take the long way up, this was good in his eyes since it meant he could flex his godhood on those that dared to get in the way, "Brok was right... Sindri's skills are subpar."

"Boy, you will not speak of our allies in such a way, nor will you say unkind things to them." Kratos stated, as this was already starting to get annoying and he could tell it was wearing on Flurry's nerves, since now her brother was reminding her of the gods of Greece they had to put down, those who deemed themselves to be far above everyone else, namely Hera when he thought about it, "You will apologize to the dwarf and pray that he is in a forgiving mood."

"Father, we're gods, and that means we don't have to listen to their argument or take their crap. And even then he should know the truth, even if it hurts him." Atreus stated, showing them that he was fully in the mindset of being a god, and that anyone who wasn't a god was subject to being looked down on by someone they thought to be an innocent kid the first time they met him, all while Flurry noticed his left hand was clawed and scaled, just like his right, "He's lucky we had to fight those monsters... I had a few more things in mind that would have driven the point home. Oh well, maybe I'll tell him later."

"Brother, just know that everything you just said to Sindri, and every harsh thing you're thinking of saying, is something your mother would disagree with." Flurry said, which was the truth, she was sure that Faye would have been appalled by how her son was acting after learning that he was a god, especially to people that had been friends while she was alive, and part of her hoped that mentioning his mother would snap Atreus out of this mindset.

"Whatever. She wasn't a goddess, like you and Pandora are, so her opinion would be irrelevant." Atreus replied, which was just further confirmation that he had let the power go to his head, if he was willing to disregard anything his mother would have said about his actions, and instead of waiting for them to say anything he continued along the path.

Kratos growled for a moment, as Atreus was really starting to grind on their gears, but he and his daughters followed after him without delay, because right now his son was walking a dangerous path and there was no telling what he would do with his newfound arrogance clouding his judgement. Sure enough his thoughts were proven right as Atreus found a couple of Hel-Walkers, lesser ones since they weren't like the ones in Helheim, that he attacked without delay, without waiting for his father to start the battle like he usually did, but that didn't stop the trio from wiping out the group as well. From there they started to climb up one of the walls, the one that brought them to their first ogre, where Atreus asked if he could carry his mother's ashes now, since he was clearly strong enough to carry the burden, and Kratos told him 'no' once more. This time his response was also due to the fact that Atreus was willing to disregard anything his mother could have said about his attitude, in fact him treating her memory like it was beneath him since she had been mortal showed Kratos that he wasn't even remotely ready for the burden of carrying her, especially since Faye had been better than most of the gods he and his daughters had encountered.

Atreus scoffed at the idea of a god caring about what their mortal parent might say about their attitude and told his father to carry the ashes himself, since he wanted to be greedy and keep the bag on him at all times, though they were briefly interrupted by rifts opening around them as the sedir draugr attacked them.

Kratos and his daughters found that Atreus, again, gave into being aggressive and disregarded the lessons that had been given to him since the start of this quest, and when they cleared out the undead, as they had been the easy ones to take out, his son's overconfidence surged to new heights as he told their slain enemies that this was what they would get when they faced a god in battle. Such a thing caused Atreus to question Mimir's tale about Odin seeking Jotunheim, when the reality, in his eyes, was that the All-Father was targeting them because they were gods that didn't fit in the picture that he had for the Nine Realms, where Mimir didn't dispute that claim, rather he focused on the Realm of the Giants since Odin was obsessed with the realm in question. That was when they learned that Atreus really didn't care to learn anything more about Odin or his family, going so far as to interrupt Mimir while he was talking, causing the head to be silent for a time as they continued to where the Black Breath had been resting. They even discovered that the boy thought that some rocks falling onto the path was Odin trying to get in their way, causing them to wonder what in the world was going on with him since this was far more than power going to his head, in fact Kratos and Flurry had never seen anything like this, and such a thing made them wonder how they were supposed to counter this attitude.

As they entered the area with the statue, who opened the way into the mountain, the family found that Modi was standing by one of the pillars, though he was bloody and wounded, which confirmed that he must have been beaten by his father after telling him the news of his brother's death.

"Thor... blamed me... ME... for what you did to Magni!" Modi stated, coughing as he confirmed Flurry's suspicions, which meant that the god wielding Mjolnir must be drunk if he was willing to hurt his own son like this, though she could see that the fight had left him, like he was here to deliver a message before leaving them to their business, "My own father called me a coward..."

"Yeah, that's because you are one... there's no harm in telling you the truth, even though it looks like he did more than just call you a coward." Atreus replied, his tone showing them that he didn't care about the wounded figure's words, rather he seemed to be focusing on what Modi had said back when they were fighting him and Magni, especially since he drew his new dagger and held it at the ready, "Move it, before I finish what he started."

"No. He is beaten, weaponless, and is grieving the death of his brother... leave him be." Kratos said, because despite what they had heard before gaining the chisel, where Thor's sons had been arguing with each other, it was clear that Modi had loved Magni like they were true brothers and not half-brothers, and right now he was mourning his brother to the best of his ability, "Come, we have a quest to finish."

"No... we're gods. Anyone who insults us deserves to die!" Atreus remarked, where Flurry raised her hand, and her magic, just as Atreus stabbed Modi in the side of his neck, going for a vein that would instantly kill him if it was pierced, and she was able to stop him before that happened, though she had to seal the wound and place an illusion over Modi to make Atreus leave him along, causing him to withdraw the weapon and knock Modi over the edge.

Flurry used her magic to catch Modi and then teleport him to the safest area for him, the bottom of the small chasm that existed in this portion of the area, carefully making it so that Atreus didn't know she had saved him, and she made sure Modi's area had a few of the healing stones in it, though she would be back once they were done with Atreus' attitude and their quest.

"Atreus... what are you doing? Killing against my wishes... against my orders?!" Kratos stated, as this was going too far in his eyes, because there was no honor in killing someone that couldn't fight back, even though he suspected that Flurry had done something to try and save Modi, that was just the type of person she was, allowing him to focus on his son and his dark changes, "You are losing control of yourself."

"So what? Haven't you three been teaching me how to kill? How to take a life?" Atreus replied, showing them that he really didn't care about Modi, rather the fact that he was a god had gone to his head and was his sole focus, that he could do whatever he wanted and there wouldn't be any consequences for his actions since he deemed himself to be above both mortals and gods, since he wasn't listening to his father at all, "What's the big deal? It's not like anyone cared about Modi to begin with."

"Really? I beg to differ, considering how pissed Thor seemed when he heard Magni was slain... just imagine his fury when he hears what just happened." Flurry remarked, though it was easy for Kratos, Pandora, and even Mimir to see that she was getting angry over all of this, which to her father and sister made sense due to the fact that she was the Goddess of Death and she had a greater appreciation for life, far more than even some life gods at times, and her brother's uncaring attitude towards life and death was pissing her off, "We teach you how to kill, that is true, but only to defend yourself or to hunt... never as an indulgence. Only uncaring monsters would indulge themselves in the slaughter of others. Besides, there are consequences for killing a god..."

"Oh yeah, and how would you... know? Oh, I get it now... you hypocrites." Atreus said, as he was focusing on what he had just done to Modi, even though he was unaware of what Flurry had done to save the god in question, and suddenly he seemed to understand something that he most likely did not understand at all, "That's why you guys are here in the Nine Realms, isn't it? You've killed gods before, haven't you? That's how you know there are 'consequences' for doing such a thing... and let me guess, you used those blades to kill a few of them! How many have you hypocrites killed?"

"Atreus... there's no easy way to answer that question, nor are you ready to hear the tale that would even begin to give you an answer." Pandora replied, because that was the truth of the matter, their brother was in no way, shape, or form ready for the information he wanted them to tell him, and while it would make him mad she knew it was better this way, least it go to his head that they could kill Odin if he appeared before them.

"I'll ask again, since you two are too stupid to follow directions: How. Many. Have. You. KILLED?!" Atreus stated, where he found that Flurry took a step towards him and their father had to step in as he used an arm to stop her, causing her to back off before they had a sibling fight, which Kratos knew would have been bad given Flurry's experience.

"Watch. Your. Tone. BOY. This topic is not open for discussion... you are not ready for the answer, and at the rate you are going I will never tell you anything about our past lives." Kratos replied, though at the rate things were going he was going to have to pull his son aside and give him a lecture on how to behave as a god, because this was totally unacceptable, as he was sure they were going to be stopped before they reached their destination by something stupid Atreus was going to do to someone along the way.

Atreus decided to respond with his new favorite phrase, which was 'whatever', before continuing down the side path that was to the left of where they were standing, though as he did so, and Kratos and Pandora followed, Flurry noted that her brother's eyes had become slits, like a dragon's, and they were now purple colored, instead of their original blue. Such a thing made her wonder if her brother's new rude attitude was the cause of the changes, since he definitely wasn't being greedy like Fafnir, something that only made her imagine how much his new outlook on life was going to change him and his body. One thing she found as she caught up with the others, as Modi seemed fine in the area she had left him in, was that when her father had Atreus remove some of the sap by hitting one of the crystals her brother continued to act like he was the leader of the group and that it was by his will that they moved forward. After that they found that a tatzelwurm pack was up ahead and, just as they expected, Atreus rushed in without a care in the world, attacking their foes before he was commanded to do so, either loosing arrows or using his new dagger, and Flurry even noticed him grab one with his new claws before hurling it into a wall.

The problem they were discovering was that he was quite literally ignoring them at this point, usually whenever someone had something to say about how he was fighting, and even when Kratos warned Atreus that Baldur was likely hot on their trail his son informed him that he'd be killing him as well, now believing himself to be above everyone. Another thing that worried them was the fact that Atreus used to feel sorry for killing the draugr and now, after becoming a god, he had no such remorse for them, in fact he seemed to enjoy killing the undead and putting them back in the ground. Kratos even acknowledged that his son seemed to have forgotten his training, as some of his moves were sloppy and lacking the skill he had used over the course of their quest, though Atreus just shrugged his words off as they continued into the mining area they had used the lift in. There was another crystalline lock nearby, though with how Atreus was acting Kratos and his daughters agreed that fighting a Valkyrie was out of the question, because with his new outlook on life there was a chance he could get them seriously hurt or even killed, so they focused on reaching the summit for the time being.

Fortunately there was a smaller lift that Kratos opened the way to by burning away the bramble that was on it, and when they used it to reach an upper part of the mine Atreus commented on how his father wouldn't tell him anything, despite listening to all of his commands before this point.

"Your new outlook on life is preventing you from heeding our lessons. We will not teach you anything new until you decide to abandon this path you have chosen." Kratos stated, because right now he wasn't in the mood to teach his son anything, he wasn't listening and even if Atreus was he suspected it would only be twisted into some new way to disobey him, so for the time being his son's lessons were on hold.

Instead of responding to that comment Atreus decided to tell Mimir that he knew everything he needed to know now, like he was saying that his limited knowledge was all anyone needed in the world, along with the fact that he deemed himself to be above lessons at this point in time. When the lift came to a stop it took literally a second before Atreus launched himself at another group of draugr, smashing his bow through the stone ones that were fully dead while getting up on one and stabbed it to death, just like he had done previously. The look on his face revealed even more of what was going on with him, he was also drunk on power, though Flurry wasn't sure if that was due to his newfound godhood or the power that seemed to come from his still transforming body, since she was positive that his clawed hands added to his overall power in some manner. In fact it looked like Atreus was feeling the power far too well for their liking, as his shoes seemed to magically fade away, likely part of his own power that was still surfacing, as his feet became scaly and clawed, just like his hands, meaning his rude attitude and his lust for power were driving his curse forward.

Atreus, of course, didn't seem to mind since the changes allowed him to do more damage to his foes and take them down without having to rely on his family, though Kratos and his daughters did clear out some of them before finding that his son was continuing along the path without waiting for them.

While they followed after Atreus, to stop him from getting himself killed by something that was stronger than him, Mimir looked at the walls and reported that there was recent dragon activity that they should be wary of, only for Flurry to tell him that Hraezlyr was already dead, as they killed him on their way to the summit. Mimir was interested in hearing about the fight, as he recalled hearing something that sounded like a dragon fighting from his prison at one point, prompting Flurry to tell him that they would share the story once they were done with their quest, which he agreed with. What was even more annoying for them was when they found a sleeping Ancient, meaning it wasn't seeking their deaths, and Atreus just rushed at it and slammed his bow into part of it's body, waking the creature up and forcing them to do battle with it, a fact that prompted Flurry not to use the Blade of Olympus. It was meant to punish his insistence on rushing ahead, but it didn't seem like Atreus was realizing the truth behind her decision, essentially forcing her, their father, and their sister to bring down the Ancient and scatter it into pieces, allowing her to collect the resources it dropped.

They even got a new enchantment that seemed to increase their frost power, which she added to her bag as Atreus kept on moving, causing them to all to sigh as they realized he was going to hurt himself with his foolish actions, but that they were going to have to let it happen in the hopes that it snapped him back to reality.

As the family continued to make their way towards the summit they discovered that part of the area they passed through was a workshop, like the overseer's or another important figure who worked in this area, causing Kratos to open a couple of chests and recover a few new pieces of armor that were added to Flurry's collection. Sindri was also there and was still in a bad mood, which was understandable since Atreus had basically snapped at him for no good reason, especially since the dwarf mentioned that he was 'glad to still be of use to them' while looking at Atreus, both due to what happened not that long ago and the boy's changes. Once they were done checking in with Sindri the family continued on their way, to which Kratos opened a door and opened the way out into an area that was pretty close to the summit, though there was a rift in front of them that Atreus decided to trigger, allowing a group of Hel-Walkers to attack them. Such a thing prompted his father and sisters to take down their new enemies in the span of a few seconds, though after that they opened a silver chest with part of the cipher for Niflheim, which they pocketed for later as Kratos cleared a bit of bramble that allowed him to use a wall to reach the path leading to the summit.

From there it was a simple manner of walking along the familiar path and climbing up to where the special gate rested, a fact they were able to do in a short period of time, allowing all four of them to stare at it for a few seconds before focusing on what they were here to do.

"Atreus, the rune." Kratos said, where his son glanced at him for a moment before walking up to the side of the gate that had the crystalline lock embedded in the stone, causing him to draw his dagger and slice into his left palm so he could spread a bit of it on the stone, marking the exact points that the chisel had to be used on.

Once he was done with his work Atreus stepped to the side as Kratos stepped forward, carefully stabbing the stone in four locations that caused the magic of the gate to roar to life before their eyes, opening the portal that Mimir had shown them when they learned that they had misunderstood Faye's request... though before they could even use it Baldur came out of nowhere and smashed Kratos into the left leg of the portal frame, severely damaging it in the process, causing him to just headbutt the god away.

"You know, I was wondering when we were going to see each other again... now we get to have some fun." Baldur said, to which he turned and launched himself at Flurry, because out of all of them he was mostly interested in her ability to harm him, despite the curse still being active, who parried with her sickles and slashed at his chest, forcing him backwards with a smile on his face, "Oh, how I missed this... glorious pain! You know, I have to thank you for opening the gate... father gets his prize, Thor gets the god that killed Magni, and I get to fight the goddess that can harm me, despite my foul curse! All of us win!"

"Don't forget about me!" Atreus remarked, where he launched himself at Baldur and swung at him, with his claws and not his dagger, causing the god to tank the blow with the side of his body before kicking the boy in the chest, knocking him back towards Pandora for a moment, "I'm a god as well, and I can fight."

"A god? Hardly. You're turning into a dragon, boy, and it's only a matter of time until your mind goes... you might end up attacking your own family, forcing them to put you down." Baldur replied, showing Atreus that even if the boy was a god he wasn't at all intimidated by that fact, something that caused the boy to roar in anger as he rushed his chosen foe, while at the same time Flurry glanced at her father and sister as they nodded.

Pandora joined the attack as her father did the same, forcing Baldur to focus on four different foes at the same time, but that was the point since it would confuse him, and with Flurry's magic involved they were able to really mess with him and caused him to swing at Kratos, who moved out of the way and let their foe punch the weakened portal frame, shattering it as rocks collapsed all around them.

"No... no no no... what have you done?!" Atreus shouted, where it was clear that he was enraged by what they had done, even if he had been unaware of what his family was planning, because they realized that there was a chance Odin was on his way and couldn't let him use the gate, so despite their effort to open it all three of them knew it had to be destroyed, even if it infuriated Atreus, "I HATE ALL OF YOU!"

In the next moment he rushed Baldur again as Flurry and Pandora stopped by the tree Mimir's body was stuck in, where a large red armored dragon emerged from the clouds behind the skinny god and loosed a burst of flames down on them, and only them, forcing Flurry to shield them with her magic. Baldur, on the other hand, let Atreus hit him before kneeing him in the chest and then punched him right in the face, knocking him backwards, where his rage exploded as a tail grew out of his leggings, his magic creating an opening to avoid damaging his clothing. Due to his size the scaly tail wasn't as thick as a fully grown dragon's tail, but it likely still had the power to back it up if Atreus used it in battle, not that the boy seemed to realize that fact as he rushed into battle once more, as if believing that giving up his humanity was the key to beating his foe. This time around Kratos caught him before he could reach Baldur and forced him backwards, to stop his son from doing something stupid, but, in his blind rage, Atreus drew his bow and loosed a powerful lightning arrow right into Kratos' left shoulder, pinning him to one of the boulders as it shocked him.

Baldur, sensing an opening, allowed Atreus to attack him as he grabbed onto the boy, took his dagger, and planted it right in the side of his right shoulder, prompting him to jump onto the dragon's back as it stopped it's attack before flying off into the distance.

As that happened Flurry reached out with her magic and found that it slipped off of the dragon's armor, just like the gear in Tyr's vault, causing Pandora to rush over to their father so she could remove the arrow, which she was able to do within a few seconds. With that done Flurry grabbed onto both of them and lifted them into the air with her wings, allowing her to start flying after the dragon as they found that Baldur was heading for Tyr's Temple, meaning he was heading back to Asgard with Atreus in tow. After figuring that out she tossed both her father and her sister at the dragon, where both of them drew their weapons as they understood her plan, as they reached the beast's wings, landed on top of them, and then dragged their blades down the length of the entire thing, severing it's ability to fly. As the dragon fell Kratos made sure Flurry caught Pandora as he raced down towards the bridge and used his shield to soften his fall, while at the same time Baldur jumped off the dragon with Atreus over his shoulder as he landed between Brok's area and the main portion of the temple.

Such a thing caused them to blitz the temple, prompting Brok to ask them what was going on since only they activated the bridge between realms, and when they entered the main chamber Kratos barreled right into Baldur, who seemed to be enjoying what was going on.

"It's too late. It's locked in... and soon you shall feel the full might of Asgard!" Baldur stated, showing them that he thought he had all of the cards right now, though there was one thing that he wasn't counting on as Kratos looked at the console, and that was for Kratos to activate one of the Travel Runes he knew as he slammed his Bifrost down into the slot.

The coloration of the realm confirmed what her father was thinking, as Flurry found that her father was going to send all of them to Helheim, where they should be able to trap Baldur while they figure out what to do next, and when the beam started to fire at the crystal both she and Pandora forced the god into the beam. Such a thing seemed to open a force that dragged all of them into the realm, where Flurry made sure to grab the Bifrost before they went too far, and, as expected, they surged out into Helheim, flying above the bridge that she and her family had used to track down the Keeper. That did prompt Baldur and Kratos to fight over Atreus, as in they literally punched each other repeatedly as they flew by where the Keeper had been stationed, heading deeper into Helheim than they originally thought, in fact it looked like they were heading to the place Mimir told them never to go. Fortunately Kratos was able to utilize one of the pillars by kicking his foe away from him and Atreus, sending Baldur into it and forcing him to fly off into another portion of the forbidden zone, all while Kratos grabbed onto his son as the same happened to them, sending them elsewhere.

Flurry made sure to grab onto Pandora as that happened, using her magic to protect them before they smashed into the structure that their father and brother had landed in as well, and once she was sure that they were safe she dropped her magic and made sure no enemies were coming after them, all while her father freed Atreus from the rubble that he had been buried in and glared at him for a time.

"You will LISTEN to me and not speak a word." Kratos snapped, where his tone reminded Flurry of their time in Greece, as it was a level of anger that he used to reach before she was able to calm him down, so seeing it come back killed some of the anger she was feeling at the moment, while Pandora looked to the side for a time, "I am your father, Boy, and you are not yourself... you are too quick to temper... you are rash, insubordinate, and out of control, and this will not stand. You will honor your mother and abandon this path you have chosen... it is not to late to correct yourself. There is more to say, but this is neither the time or the place for this discussion... just remember that we are here because of you."

Somehow, against all odds, Atreus actually listened to his father and, when he was back on his new clawed feet, he hung his head in shame, showing them that he might be thinking of what happened before reaching this point, causing Flurry to sigh as she wondered how they were going to fulfill Faye's last wish now and braced herself for the dangers that Helheim would throw at them this time around.
