God of War: Daughter of War

After quickly verifying that everyone was alright, since Atreus had been slammed into a pillar before coming to a stop after their entry into Helheim, Kratos had everyone move out, since there was more ground to cover while they sought out a way to escape from the realm they were now in.

"So, um... it looks like we have to climb again." Atreus commented, seeing that the only way out of the tower area that they had landed in, before his father literally snapped at him before either of his sisters could say anything, while his family could see that the boy from the very start of their quest was back, the arrogance and overconfidence gone, "Are you... Will you be able to handle my new weight?"

"...Yes, I will be fine." Kratos replied, because while he was still rightfully annoyed with Atreus, especially after his son used one of his lightning arrows on him while they were trying to deal with Baldur, his anger paled in comparison to Flurry's, and the only reason she was remotely calm about this was because he was, even though it would take some time for her rage to die down.

"O... Okay. I trust you." Atreus said, where they could see that he was literally back to square one, plus he seemed worried, even terrified, that they would hold everything he did on their way up the mountain against him, so it was possible that he was lowering himself to appear smaller or to hope they'd go easy on him.

Kratos said nothing as he approached the wall and started to climb, where Flurry watched as Atreus climbed onto his back once more, this time adjusting himself to avoid hurting their father with his new claws, even though he had no idea what to do with his new tail. For the time being they just let it hang, especially since it was so different from Flurry's tail, which was followed by Kratos starting to climb around the structure with Pandora following behind him, but they moved after Flurry applied the heat rune on them again. Flurry, as per usual, flew around the area they were in, sticking close to the rest of her family while keeping an eye out for danger, and she was able to see that there was a large wooden ship off in the distance, which Mimir told them to head to, since it would get them part of the way out of Helheim. Mimir also quickly told them that everything had come full circle in this realm, as Mattugr, the Keeper of the Bridge of the Damned, had kept the living out of the worst part of Helheim, and yet, with him dead, here they were, which he found to be funny.

When they reached the upper area of the structure Kratos found that there was a Hel-Walker waiting for them, who had a bone to pick with them, instead of like how the denizens of Helheim ignored them, though Kratos tore it's head off while Atreus stayed back, showing them that he didn't trust himself to fight anymore.

He should pay for what he said about mother. a voice said, where Flurry realized that it was her brother's, though while it was clear that he hadn't actually said that phrase before they came here, she would have remembered it, she had a feeling it had crossed Atreus' mind while he was dealing with Modi.

"That... That's not me." Atreus stated, something that allowed the rest of his family to see that he was terrified of the voice, even though it was his own, meaning that he might actually know just how much of an ass he had been and now that they were in Helheim, and he was back to how he had been before learning he was a god, he was either unknowingly using his actions to punish himself or this area sensed his intentions and was manifesting them.

Flurry glanced at her father and her sister for a moment, as they weren't sure what to make of this, but decided to not say anything about the issue as Kratos used a bridge and jumped over a short gap to reach another tower, slashing through the Hel-Walkers that were in the way since the Blades of Chaos were their weakness. When they entered the upper area of the next structure Helheim had another scene to torment Atreus with, where phantom misty version of him and Modi appeared before them, replacing the scene were he stabbed the wounded god and pushed him over the edge. That was where they found that Atreus seemed ashamed of his actions, maybe even terrified of the person he had been after they told him of his godhood, which was why he was so reluctant to fight the enemies that were in their way. In that instant she understood him more than she originally thought, because while she was the Goddess of Death she had never trained in the art of using death magic, there was no one to teach her, hence why she rarely, if ever, used her full powers, which was like what Atreus might be feeling right now.

As they moved down to the lower area Kratos made sure that Atreus knew that he and his daughters would get them out of Helheim, showing his son that right now, after what he had done, the trust that had existed between them was gone, it was broken and in need of repair, causing Atreus to continue to hang his head in shame.

While Kratos and his daughters moved, however, Mimir told them that the best way to escape the visions of Helheim, as the realm targeted both those that it was meant to torment and those who weren't dead yet, was to escape the realm as soon as they could, causing Kratos to use a wind trap to transfer the Winds of Hel to a lock. On the other side of the door they discovered a Traveler, or more likely a 'Hel-Traveler' due to the skin and power he wielded, where they found that he was no different than the rest of the Travelers they had fought so far, in fact his Hel-Walker status allowed Kratos to deal more damage with his blades. In the end Kratos and his daughters brought down their foe and Flurry collected the couple of items he dropped, the armor fragments, his trophy, and another Chaos Flame, which was a surprise for them since he and his children weren't expecting to find another one, so soon after the other, but he wasn't going to complain. After that he found that the way forward was to leave the structure they were in and jump to another, this time to climb around it for a time, only this time they discovered something interesting, as Baldur was over there.

As such they carefully moved around the outer area, keeping out of sight and out of mind, while Baldur dealt with his own memories, of the time that Freya, his mother, explained his curse to him, much to his eternal dismay and hatred, even the fact that she refused to undo it, explaining much to the family in the process as Baldur fell to the ground.

"Mimir... Freya is Baldur's mother? Why did you keep such a thing from us?" Kratos asked, because it was a massive thing to miss, while at the same time he pulled them to safety as Flurry looked back at the crying god, as he really seemed like he hated being invulnerable, being unable to feast, drink, have sex, or do anything that was considered normal, all due to the fact that Freya didn't want to see him die.

"Would you believe me if I said that it had slipped my mind?" Mimir replied, something that immediately earned a negative grunt from Kratos, something Flurry and Pandora were able to translate since they knew him, while Mimir and Atreus had to go on other things to determine what he meant, "I assure you that I have no reason to hide such a thing, but... when I think of them I just seem to lose focus."

"There's the ship." Pandora remarked, keeping her voice low so that Baldur didn't hear them, since he knew that Flurry was the only one who could actually hurt him, possibly kill him, while the curse was active, so the more distance they put between them the better.

The family found that more Hel-Walkers and a number of nightmares came out to fight them as they walked over to where the ship was resting, which were nothing compared to the might that Kratos, Flurry, and Pandora brought to bare, as they tore through their enemies with ease. One of the undead grabbed onto Atreus while they were fighting, where they found that he tore into the undead's arm and literally tore it off, allowing him to crush his foe into the ground with his tail before using his new dagger to stab the Hel-Walker in the face. As his foe perished, however, his expression changed as he took a few steps backward and looked at himself, no doubt thinking about what had happened to him while he was being fueled by his arrogance, something that was clearly bothering him right now. While the family dealt with the rest of the undead they heard a voice that they had not heard in a long time, it was the statement Zeus had made after Flurry used the Blade she now carried to absorb the Flame, where Kratos ignored it as he told Atreus they must keep moving.

Of course he also made sure to track down the runes of a runic chest that they passed by, granting them more loot in the process, though as they approached the ship Kratos found another phantom appear near them, one of Baldur telling Atreus that he was turning into a mindless beast.

"He's right... Baldur was right... I am a monster." Atreus commented, where his family could tell that he was looking at his new claws and feeling the additions that had been added on their journey to this point, and he even flinched as the scene shifted to him, in his rage, striking his father with a lightning arrow, which had confirmed Baldur's statement, "Father... I... I'm sorry."

"Atreus... you are not a monster." Kratos stated, because while he and his daughters were still annoyed at Atreus for using an arrow on him, when he could have pushed Baldur away so they could have escaped to a safer place, he knew that right now his son needed some form of comfort before he did something drastic, "You made some bad choices, that is common for all people, be they mortal or god, but it is how you deal with the consequences of your actions that really matters... it is as your mother once said: 'do not be sorry, be better'."

Flurry found that Atreus considered his words for a moment as they climbed down into the ship, repeating Faye's phrase in his mind repeatedly as he thought about what he was going to do next, where they discovered a fair amount of bramble that needed to be burned so they could access parts of the vessel. Some of the bramble, as they found out, remained in the pile they were in and released large amounts of fire into the air, where Kratos told Atreus to stand aside as he and his daughters worked on making sure the vessel was ready to go, since it was the only way forward. One he ignited a second pile that stuck around Flurry watched as her father moved over to the nearby wheel and started to turn it, releasing the sail, which caught the wind and started to move them towards the waterfall that separated the two halves of Helheim, a fact that meant they would have to find another path at the end of this one. Such a thing made Atreus wish they had the greatest ship the Vanir had made, the flying ship known as Skidbladnir, because he was sure it could get them up the only obstacle that was currently in their way, though he and Mimir had no idea where to find it.

They didn't get very far, however, because of the fact that there was no steering mechanism, which was why they sailed right into a large iceberg that happened to be in front of them, where Kratos hacked into the wood keeping the sail in place before moving the wheel, causing the sail to move above the mast and be trapped at the top, like the sky lantern Atreus had picked up before they fought the dragon.

"And we're stuck again." Atreus commented, as the edge of the boat was caught on a stone path that was attached to the tower that was nearby, meaning their now flying ship was trapped and that they had to do something to undo it, just like how his father had managed to do all of this in a few seconds.

"Do not worry, I shall release the boat... stay with your sisters." Kratos replied, though at the same time Flurry passed him a rune that would allow him to teleport the contents of any chests he found to the boat, into a bubble that she could look at before stuffing everything inside her bag, and when Atreus nodded he walked onto the stone and started to explore the rest of the tower.

Atreus nodded as Flurry stood against the mast in the center of the vessel, while at the same time Pandora checked over the edges to be sure no one was following them, allowing their brother a few moments to look over his arms and legs yet again, as well as tug at his horns while getting used to the weight of his tail, before he sighed.

"What is happening to me?" Atreus inquired, as if he was expecting someone to answer him this time around, which Flurry might have done had he not been a total ass to her and the others when they tried to explain anything to him during the last leg of their journey, which was when he glanced at his sisters, "Flurry? Pandora? Do you guys have any ideas?"

"It honestly doesn't matter... would you care enough to listen to us, if we had something to say?" Flurry asked, because she had some ideas on what was going on, but every single time she or her family had tried to do anything to get through to Atreus he just ignored them, and part of her really didn't want to deal with that thick wall right now.

"Of course I would! You guys are my smart sisters, who have far more knowledge than I could ever have... I would be a fool not to listen to you two." Atreus replied, where Pandora knew that their brother understood that he had annoyed Flurry, which she already knew was a bad thing since those that annoyed their sister usually ended up dead, and he was being more respectful, as if to counter his earlier actions.

As Pandora expected there was a short stretch of silence between the two, Atreus being hopeful that this was enough to at least get his sisters back on his side, while at the same time Flurry considered what to do in this situation, before she found that her sister sighed for a few seconds.

"In case it wasn't obvious, you were cursed. When we were in Fafnir's ravine you found and foolishly picked up his mirror, the very one that turned him into a dragon after he stole it." Flurry said, reminding her brother of what had happened, to which she found that he didn't say anything this time around, rather he was remaining silent and listening to her, as if he wanted her to know he actually valued her input after being so rude to her recently, "As we know Fafnir was known for his greed, though the mirror didn't change him overnight... I suspect that what the mirror does is mark those that touch it with some sort of enchantment that cannot be dispelled, not until certain conditions are met. Now, you are different from Fafnir, as your changes have come from being rude to those that are around you, the lust for power you had after finding out that you were a god, and your sheer hatred for anyone you deemed to have wronged you."

"...like father..." Atreus replied, because thanks to Helheim showing him the short conversation they had with Baldur, and the god's words towards him and his changes, he recalled how he lashed out at his father for destroying the frame that held the way into Jotunheim, "Is there a way to undo this?"

"Well, indulging in the parts of yourself that the curse has latched onto seems to accelerate the changes... Fafnir continued to steal until he became a dragon, after all." Flurry stated, showing her siblings that she had been thinking about this since the moment Atreus touched the mirror and got zapped by it's power, and both of them remained silent as they listened to her talk, while also waiting for their father to return, "It would stand to reason that doing the opposite might reverse your changes... instead of being rude, maybe be kind... instead of being consumed by lust, show humility... instead of hatred, show love and understanding. Basically, return to being the kind boy you were at the start of this quest and you should, in theory, start to undo your transformation, however..."

"Continue down that dark path and I'll turn into a dragon?" Atreus guessed, where he found that Flurry nodded her head, instead of being annoyed that he had interrupted her, meaning she was fine with him returning to who he had been at the start of this quest, even though he couldn't stop being a god now that he knew, "How long will it take to undo all of these changes?"

"It'll probably take longer than accumulating more changes... you have to work hard to prove yourself." Pandora said, as that was what she had gathered from everything that was going on, where she found that her sister nodded again, as that thought had crossed her mind as well, while at the same time Atreus looked down at himself for a time, "Nothing in life is easy, brother, but after what we've been through I'm sure you'll find a way to undo these changes."

As Atreus nodded his head they found that the stone slab shattered and the boat raised again, where they didn't have to wait very long as their father used the upper walkway they got stuck on to rejoin them, this time gesturing to them to join him so they could lift and push themselves away from the tower. While the ship started to depart, however, Kratos and his daughters heard another line from their time in Greece, again from their battle with Zeus, likely because he was such an important figure in all three of their lives, but they made sure to keep Atreus in the dark for the time being. That was when they found Hel-Walkers and revenants decided to attack them, accompanied by nightmares and even siege devices down below them that were firing hooks into the air to stall both the ship and stop them. With that in mind the family turned their weapons on their enemies and rushed into battle, this time Atreus joining in, since they couldn't afford to allow their foes to bring the vessel down, so he focused on his bow and stunning his targets so their father could kill the revenants in a matter of seconds.

While they did that, however, Flurry found that the massive eagle in the distance seemed to be stretching her wings, in a way that made it look like she was flapping her wings and using winds to push them along a path that would bring them to the temple, causing her to nod her thanks before lashing out at their enemies.

One thing they discovered was that some of the Hel-Walkers came up here specifically to douse the flames with their icy magic, where Kratos slew them and Flurry raised a magical barrier around both piles that was was high enough to protect them while having an opening for the fire to go through. In addition to that she used a bit more of her magic to force all of the hooks off their vessel, preventing them from slowing down since they had to get out of here quickly, though she did see that the ship definitely wasn't designed for battle as the floors cracked in places and pieces of the edges fell. Another thing Flurry could see was that Atreus had fully regained his confidence, to the point where he was able to rejoin the battle and not be a hindrance to the rest of the family, sending out his wolves to harass some of the Hel-Walkers and open the way for his father to take them down. It was as if he had fully returned to how he had been before they found Magni and Modi, except with the knowledge that he was a god, so he didn't have to worry about becoming sick again, but for the time being it looked like he wouldn't be falling into his own arrogance and overconfidence anytime soon.

Even the ogre that ended up dropping down on the vessel fell easily enough, showing anyone that was watching that they had found their harmony once more, through the art of battle, though the last hook that latched onto their vessel struck the front of the ship. That, in turn, happened to be a bad thing since it actually fractured the front of the ship, which was when Kratos stepped forward and grabbed onto it, literally tearing off the front portion in no time at all as he got a good view of Tyr's Temple off in the distance. As the vessel was freed, however, the mist of Helheim slithered by Kratos for just a few seconds before taking on the form of his father, before he was corrupted by the Evil that had possessed him, and a second group of figures, himself and his daughters. For some reason Helheim was using their beating of Zeus as some sort of torment, even though this appeared to be the scene just before he was consumed by the Prime Primordial Evil's power, them beating the stuffing out of him before Atreus rushed through the mist, dispelling the scene.

The reason, as they discovered, was because the ship was going off course and the new front slammed into the side of the tall statue that was in front of the temple, shifting the weight of everything as Atreus told his father to jump, causing them to jump over the edge as Kratos used his shield to smash through a portion of the temple's roof, allowing him and his son to end up in a chamber of sorts as Flurry set herself and Pandora down nearby.

"That was your plan?! You're both cracked!" Mimir stated, not that he was that surprised, since the boy really did take after his father more than he possibly knew, while at the same time they could glance through the hole in the ceiling and watch as the flaming ship flew deeper into another part of Helheim, likely to crash into an iceberg or something.

Kratos informed them that they were leaving Helheim, though before doing so they headed through the door to their right and discovered that it was a dead end, with all sorts of scrolls that Atreus said had to be Odin's information on Jotunheim, where they found a stone chest to loot. This one had a special blue gemstone that was unlike the others they had seen, to which Pandora held out her new gauntlet for a moment and they watched as the gem lifted itself into the air for a couple of seconds before ending up in the slot above her middle finger. This was the second powerful stone she had discovered, an interesting thing to be sure, enough now it made her wonder where they might find the other four that clearly existed, since her gauntlet had six slots for gems to be placed in, though Kratos and Flurry had no idea, while Atreus was just amazed by the existence of such an item. From there they returned to the damaged chamber and Kratos used the chisel to break the crystalline lock that was in their way, as he was sure that they would be able to find some way to reach the lower floor of the temple and use their Bifrost to return to Midguard.

While they might have destroyed the only known path to Jotunheim, to prevent the possibility of Odin showing up to use the now opened gate, Kratos knew that he and his daughters had hope that they would find another path, only to discover that the missing panel of Tyr's triptych was in Odin's hidden study.

"Odin always has his reasons for why he does anything." Mimir commented, speaking to the unspoken question that Atreus no doubt had about why this piece of information in this realm, and not in the one that Tyr's shrine was located in, which was when Kratos switched his view by unhooking him from his belt and raising him to look at the panel, "Hm... this is an unexpected development: clearly this is Tyr, traveling the realms... magically, no doubt... but I'm not to sure why the Giants would dedicate a shrine to such basic information."

"What do those four runes in the corners mean?" Atreus asked, gesturing to the four icons that existed on the panel, which was when Kratos and his daughters noticed that one of them was from Greece, a very familiar icon that had become part of Kratos after he took Ares' throne.

"They are not runes... they are symbols. And they mean 'War'." Kratos stated, something that caused Atreus to look at him for a few seconds before he connected the dots, as if he was finally understanding why his father knew so much about war, he was the literal God of War from a different land that wasn't part of the Nine Realms, before he noticed something odd about the panel, "Mimir... Tyr's eyes, they are jewels, just like yours."

"No doubt to symbolize the Bifrost Eyes the Giants granted us... give me a closer look." Mimir replied, which Kratos did not a second later, allowing him to channel some of his own power through his eye as the crystal representing Tyr's glowed as well, causing an item to appear above Tyr's hand while new icons appeared on the panel, and even what Pandora deemed to be blueprints for another key, "Very interesting... secret plans, concealed by Tyr so no one could access it, save for himself and those few the Giants trusted, such as myself. It is amusing that Odin stole this panel and we were the ones to find this clue... which means that I can fulfill my promise to get you guys to Jotunheim. I suggest we take the plans to a dwarf... one of them might be able to make that key."

Kratos nodded and had Atreus jot down everything as it appeared, which his son did so in amazing detail, like he could copy whatever writing or plans that he laid eyes on, and once he was done Flurry stashed the panel away in her bag, since there was no telling if Odin might come back or not. After that they departed from the chamber and found their way to a lift that would take them back down into the main chamber, where Atreus mentioned that there was another door on the ring they used to access the vault, as he was sure it was where this key would go. Kratos decided to speak with his son about what he had seen, as he was sure that Atreus had questions about the scene that had unfolded before his eyes, but, to their surprise, Atreus feigned ignorance and replied with 'what scene', showing them that he didn't want to trouble his father anymore than necessary. He understood that it must have been a bad memory or something, hence why Helheim used it against them, so for the time being he wanted them to think he hadn't seen it, to not open their old wounds, while giving him some time to come to his own thoughts on the matter, causing Kratos to nod as they returned to the temple's console.

A few moments later the teleportation process started and Kratos asked about Mimir, which was when Flurry found out that her thoughts of him being bewitched were correct, Baldur did have a weakness and the head knew it, but Freya had cursed him to lose focus whenever he thought about their connection, causing his repeatable phrase to be said... but Kratos let that conversation be put on hold as they returned to Midgard and found Brok at his workshop.

"Brok, we have need of your assistance." Kratos said, where Atreus handed him his journal and made sure it was opened to the page that held the diagram of the key they had found the blueprints of not a few minutes ago, allowing him to show the dwarf what they required his help with, causing the dwarf to look at it for a few seconds, "Can you make it?"

"Is it a weapon? Armor? Or likewise an instrument of war of which I am a master of shaping?" Brok remarked, either due to the fact that he didn't know what to do about the plans that were in front of him or he did and he was worried that there was a chance he'd ruin his entire setup making the key for them, all while he moved to the side, "No? Then forget about it... even if I wanted to make such an insignificant gewgaw, I'm liable to chip my tools working on something so delicate and ladylike."

"The shingle it." a voice replied, where they found that Sindri appeared near his brother and had an option that would let the family have the key they were asking for, while at the same time Brok glanced at his bother like he had lost his mind, a fact that was likely true given their checkered past, "Pattern weld the item with Skap Slag, keep the layers thin, alternate the overlay."

"Okay, smart guy, and where d'ya suppose to find a lump of quality Skap Slag?" Brok stated, either forgetting that Kratos and his family had piles of the stuff in Flurry's resource container, with all of the other resources they had gathered so far, or he remembered that fact and this told the family that their version of the material wasn't what he was referring to, as if there was a greater tier to fit what Sindri was talking about, "Last time I saw one, I could still get rigid down south."

In the next instant Sindri withdrew a light bluish-green lump of Skap Slag that was somewhat identical to the rest of the material that the family had gathered, while at the same time Brok simply stared at the item in pure shock as Sindri let him take it for a time. Brok, naturally, asked where his brother had gotten this, as it was exactly what they needed, which was when Sindri told him that he had to get his hands dirty to get that lump of material, even though he gagged a little as he said that, something that caused Brok to declare that they should get to work. Such a thing surprised Sindri, since this seemed to be outside the scope of his brother's ability, who replied that he could 'grow too' before the brothers actually got to work together, as in they approached part of the workshop and got to work. Sure they argued with each other, but it was more in the sense to make sure the other remembered how to work with someone else, in fact they even seemed to have new ideas that they were able to blend together to make sure everything worked smoothly.

In the end the brothers were able to turn the Skap Slag into the key that would unlock Tyr's secret area, in fact they pulled out their halves of their old brand and combined them to place their icon on the key, even though it was altered thanks to being broken due to Brok and Sindri splitting in the past.

"Good work you two, this is exactly what we needed." Kratos said, though while he was sure the brand wasn't necessary for the door lock, he wasn't about to stop the brothers while they did their best to make up, because having both of them working together like this meant that things would be better for their gear in the near future.

"Thanks. So, will you be leaving immediately, or is there something else we can help you with?" Sindri asked, because now that he and Brok were back to working as a team he was sure that they could finally make the set of armor that they had been working towards before they originally split up.

"We will not be using the key immediately. I wish to seek out the Valkyries we know the locations of." Kratos replied, as he felt that now was the perfect time for them to finally go back and deal with some of the Valkyries that were sealed in the locations they had passed by recently, because even if Baldur chased after them again he would be confused by what they were doing, which would work to their benefit.

Pandora decided that now was a good time to speak to the dwarves, as she pulled out her own journal, which she used to sketch her weapon designs in, and showed them something she had been thinking of building and had kept at the back of her mind for a time, but now that they were back together she was sure the three of them could do wonders. Brok and Sindri looked at each other for a time before moving to get ready, while Pandora had Flurry remove a number of parts and materials from her bag, namely a number of the items they had carved from Hraezlyr's corpse, something that caused her father to raise an eyebrow as he and Atreus stood nearby. Together Pandora and the Huldra Brothers got to work on a brand new weapon, sharpening bits and pieces while forming the head of the new weapon, showing Atreus what it was like when master smiths went to work as sparks flew every now and then, Sindri making sure they didn't set fire to the rest of the workshop. Kratos had to smile for a moment, as it was nice to see Pandora in her element, the element that she had been gifted by her birth father, especially since she seemed to be having fun, while at the same time Atreus took the opportunity to apologize to Sindri when he wasn't busy, who accepted his apology with ease, since it had caused him to work up the courage to come here in the first place.

Eventually they found that the weapon was similar to the Leviathan Axe, only it's head was larger and the handle was also the same, where Kratos found that it seemed to be a cross between a normal axe and a battleaxe, meaning it could be used as a one handed weapon or a two handed weapon. The handle was definitely something Sindri had worked on, as he provided one of the best pieces of oak Kratos had seen, with both gold and dragon ivory mixed into a combined inlay that almost resembled scales, looking completely natural in the process no less. The curved head of the battleaxe had some points on the blade that looked like small teeth, while it also had a special design on it, this one resembling a dragon, and the beast's eye was yellow, which was where the elemental power of the weapon seemed to be coming from. Kratos had to admit that it was an elegant weapon, a worthy addition to anyone's arsenal, and when the trio were done with it, and that meant sharpening and polishing it, Pandora did one last thing, which was hurling it at the entrance of the temple as she held her hand out, causing them to realize it was like the Leviathan Axe when it returned to her hand.

Kratos even noticed that there was a smaller curved blade on the opposite side of the main head, meaning both sides had the ability to be used in combat, but that didn't change the fact that this weapon was impressive, which was followed by Pandora smiling as she grabbed the handle with both hands and held it out to her sister.

"Flurry, I know how much you like the Leviathan Axe, so I thought I'd give you something similar, and this one has it's own element: allow me to present to you the 'Dragon Cleaver'." Pandora said, where Flurry smiled for a moment as she took the weapon and tucked her wings in, allowing the group to watch as she swung it around and slashed at enemies that she envisioned in her mind, as if she had used such a weapon once in the past and this was her returning to form.

"I am worried about it's name." Atreus commented, which was due to his new dragon side and the curse he was bearing at the moment, so it was natural in his eyes to be fearful of something that was called such a thing, before he found that his father placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Do not worry, you are not in danger... Flurry would never harm you." Kratos stated, as he understood his son's thought on the weapon's name, it did sound like something that was designed to cleave through dragons, but he knew that both Pandora and the dwarves created it for Flurry because she was worthy of such a thing.

"Pandora, Brok, Sindri, it's perfect." Flurry remarked, showing them that she approved of the weapon, though at the same time she withdrew the daggers they had recovered from Tyr's vault, where Pandora took them without delay and she, plus the dwarves, quickly worked on them, sharpening the weapons to the point where she could use them if she wanted to.

Kratos smiled as Flurry collected the daggers, because her arsenal had grown even more and that meant they should be able to deal with all sorts of new enemies in the near future, which made him eager to see what the Valkyries could offer them in the way of difficulty, before worrying about the key and whatever secrets Tyr was hiding this time around.
