The book content was filled with information about Chaos. Poseidon was glad he went looking for it, '' Thrúd, this is amazing! Good job.''

'' Thank you! But what are we going to do with that thing?'' Thrúd pointed at the portal in the middle of the room.

Poseidon stared at the portal, ' Hmmm, should I risk it and enter? ... No, let's not do that. I can launch an attack, to see if there's any reaction.'

'' Let me do something first.'' Poseidon made a spear with the water around the place and attack the portal.

The water spear passed the portal. 1 second, 10 seconds.

After 1 minute without reaction, Poseidon said to Thrúd, '' Leave it alone. It doesn't matter that much now.''

If they had found this portal before the Norse Realm was destroyed, it would be a big problem. But now, it really doesn't matter that much. It's just another portal.

Thrúd nodded, '' Okay.''

Poseidon looked around the place some more. When he saw there was nothing more to grab, he said, '' Let's go back. We found what we needed.''

After getting out of Odin's room, Poseidon and Thrúd returned to where everyone was. Freya noted Poseidon first, '' Do you found anything important?''

While Thrúd went to Sif and Thor's side, Poseidon answered, '' We found this.''

Poseidon showed them the book, '' It contains information about Chaos. I don't know if they're real or not, or if he has much, but it's a start.''

Freya grabbed the book and looked inside. She stopped after a while, '' ... I know Odin for long enough to know he's not stupid to put vital information in a book like this. It could be a trap or something.''

Heimdall, who was once one of Odin's most trusted 'allies', also said the same thing as Freya, '' Don't trust the content that much.''

Poseidon nodded, '' I know. I will pass this to Mimir and my wife when we return home.''

Ratatoskr perked up, '' Your wife?''

Poseidon smiled thinking of Athena, '' Her name is Athena. She's the goddess of wisdom in my realm.''

Freya looked down a bit. She started to mumble a bit, ' Maybe she's open to another woman in his life...?'

No one heard what Freya said.

'' So, are we done here?'' Ratatoskr asked Poseidon.

Poseidon looked around and noticed everyone was mostly ready. Still, he looked at Sif, Thor, and Heimdall, '' Are your people ready to leave?''

Sif nodded right away, '' We are.''

'' Good.'' Poseidon looked at Ratatoskr, '' Can you give us a ride?''

Ratatoskr said nothing and opened up a portal to Midgard.

'' Let's go.'' Poseidon, alongside Freya, was the first group of people who passed through the portal.

Next, Sif went alongside her family. Then, finally, all of the remaining Asgardians went through the portal.

Ratatoskr looked around and made sure that no one else was there. He took a last look at Asgard, the once mighty realm, which was now in taters and will disappear soon.

'' Goodbye.''

With the last goodbye, Ratatoskr also entered the portal.

Just like that, Asgard was now empty, with no life in sight.

MIDGARD

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

When Poseidon and Freya arrived at Laufey's house, they noticed the number of people around the area was bigger than before they went to Asgard, '' What could've happened?''

'' No idea. Let's ask the others.''

Knocking on the door to the house, the duo heard '' coming'' from the inside. The person who opened the door was Atreus, '' Oh! It's you guys! Daddddd! Poseidon and Freya are back!''

Atreus then said, '' I'll go back to playing with Angrboda. Bye!''

Poseidon smiled at that, '' He reminds me of my son.''

''They are at the same age?'' Freya asked. ' ... I don't know much about him at all.'

'' My son and daughter are only a few months apart from each other, and I think Atreus is the same age.''

Freya started to remember Baldur at that age, '' ... I miss when Baldur at that age.''

Poseidon patted her shoulder, '' I'm sure he was ... cute at that age.''

Freya looked at Poseidon's hand on her shoulder, '' ... He sure was.''

Kratos arrived soon after, '' You guys arrived. We have a lot to talk about.''

Inviting the duo in, Kratos lead them toward a place where a few people were gathered. All Greeks, together with Brok, Sindri, Mimir, and someone new.

When Freya saw the new addition, she exclaimed, '' Sigrun!''

Sigrun, a famous Valkirie and Mimir lover. She bowed slightly when she saw Freya, '' My Queen. It's good to see you.''

Freya also was happy to see her old friend, '' I'm also happy to see you! But how are you here? Aren't you supposed to be Odin's guard?''

Sigrun looked guilty, '' Our sisters and I noted something was wrong with Odin some time ago. So we thought we were prepared to help people if something happened. But suddenly Odin sent us away for a mission and banned us from returning to Asgard until we completed it.''

Freya paused, '' Which mission?''

'' To kill all mortals or God in Midgard.'' Sigrun sighed at this point, '' We knew something was wrong with that order, so we didn't plan to follow it. But we made contact with someone I never thought I would meet again.''

'' Mimir.''

Sigrun nodded, '' I didn't resist and talked with him. It was then he explained what the deal with Odin was. We tried to immediately return to Asgard, but Odin put some barrier around the realm, and we couldn't enter.''

'' But Mimir told us that Freya and an outsider went to Asgard. He said you guys would handle things there, we just need to wait.'' Sigrun looked at Freya, '' ... How is Asgard?''

Fryea sighed, '' Destroyed. Just like every one of the 9 realms will be in 3 days... How many of our sisters are with you?''

'' 50.''

'' That's good. That's good.'' Freya was happy to see some of her sisters survive.

'' But I doubt these many people are here to see our reunion. What do we need to discuss?'' Freya sat on the ground and waited for the main topic to begin.

Mimir coughed and changed the subject, '' We are done.''

Freya tilted her head, '' What do you mean?''

'' As of now, if you want, we can safely leave the Norse Realm.'' Mimir said as a matter of fact.

'' Are you sure? We only checked Vanaheim, Asgard, Helheim and Midgard. The other 5 realms must have some survivors.''

'' We will leave the task to search for survivors to Ratatoskr... Where's he by the way?'' Mimir asked about the missing squirrel.

Freya hesitated a bit, '' Ratatoskr is ... with Thor, Sif, and their children.''

Mimir stiffened a bit when he heard that. Mind you, he was tortured for decades by Modi and Magni, so he really didn't like both of them. Thor was just a puppet of Odin, he really didn't matter.

Still, this wasn't the time to act on grudges. Mimir sighed internally, ' I will do something about them, but not now...'

'' Let them in when they arrive.'' Mimir said that but as soon as he stopped talking, he heard someone say '' We are already here.''

Looking back, Mimir saw Thor and his entire family inside the house, alongside Ratatoskr.

Sigrun went behind Mimir, to show she was with him in case they decided to fight.

The tension was high in the house. But Ratatoskr, who didn't care that much about the conflict between Thor's family and Mimir, started to talk, '' We saved as many Asgardians as we could. Now what?''

'' Mimir said we are ready to leave if we want to.'' Poseidon responded to Ratatoskr.

'' What!? What about the realm we didn't visit?'' Ratatoskr didn't like that one bit.

'' That's where you enter.'' Mimir told Ratatoskr his role, '' You will enter the realms we didn't enter and see if there's any survivor. If there's one, you call us. Also, you're free to call us if you see an enemy.''

Ratatoskr sighed. '' I will take a vacation after all of this is over.''

'' How long until you search the other 5 realms?''

Ratatoskr thought for a while in a funny posture, '' Maybe ... 1 hour or so?''

'' That fast?'' Poseidon was surprised by that time.

Ratatoskr looked proud, '' I'm connected to Yggdrasil. Searching people in the realms is a piece of cake.''

Mimir was glad, '' Ok, there's no time to lose then. Go ahead and call us if you need help.''

Ratatoskr disappeared in a portal, his destination being one of the realms unexplored.

Mimir looked around, '' Grab all your things and be prepared to leave in an instant.''

After that, all people gathered scattered all over the place. Some went to grab their things, and others went to make things.

Poseidon stayed in the house. Freya asked him, '' Do you need to prepare anything?''

'' No. I'm ready to leave as soon as Ratatoskr comes back. I'll be on guard in case the squirrel needs help with something.''

Freya nodded. While Poseidon didn't have much to do, she had, ' Talk with my sister, see how Baldur is doing...'

Thinking of all things she still had to do, Freya said goodbye to Poseidon, '' See you soon.''

Then, Freya left Laufey's house. The only people on standby in case Ratatoskr need help were Poseidon and Kratos. The Spartan was in another room, with Laufey, Atreus, and Angrboda.

Poseidon was getting homesick by now, ' I miss Athena and the kids.'

Poseidon almost took out the communicator to talk with them, but he held himself back, ' No need. We are almost home.'

With nothing better to do, Poseidon closed his eyes and waited.
