//------------------------------// // Ryts sanna identitet // Story: Kristall Snö // by Kawat3ngusan //------------------------------// Ryts sanna identitet Ryt's true identity A couple of days had passed and the fishing was plentiful thanks to everyone's efforts, Henrik himself was showered with compliments because he had blinded one of the Tuna whales. As for the village of Rockhoof, everyone who hadn't left remembered that village, but the other Vikings who had left didn't, so Rokk told those few in the village about the strange experience he had with his sons, when they met the pegasus seer above all. Everyone thought it was better to let it go because if they talked about that village again, no one would believe them and they risked being thought crazy. One evening, Alfhild, Rokk's mother, was cooking a good piece of Whale Tuna for dinner, Rokk had returned to bring wood, while Henrik immediately sat down to the table, but nobody saw Kristall Snö, so Rokk went to look for her, and in fact, he went out and found her. She was sitting on a log while she played the nyckelharpa together with Vilhelm, the other yak female who knew the magic of the runes, the instrument was a long violin and the pegasus played it with a bow. Rokk listened, Kristall Snö had started learning by herself one day and yet she already knew how to play well, there was no doubt that she was special. Vilhelm spoke to Kristall Snö -“I have taught many females to play this instrument, but you are the only one who can give some magic to this instrument, it must be your magical talent dear Kristall“- -"Do you really think so?"- -“I mean it, you can put your magic into the instrument, neither can Hov's wife and I”- -“But I'm not using magic to play“- -“It's not something you can decide, it's the magic that must come out of your body, you could tame even the meanest warrior with your music, try to sing“- Kristall put down the nyckelharpa, and sat up in the snow, put her front hooves together and closed her eyes, as soon as she started singing everyone who was busy with their chores stopped working and heard the pegasus singing, she had a melodious voice, and as she sang, Vilhelm noticed that around Kristall there was a circle formed by some runes, then when Kristall stopped singing she noticed the magic, and the circle turned into light, into several beams of light that hit everyone those who were listening, including Rokk. The pegasus was amazed, -“But what happened, Vilhelm?“- -“It seems that you have created a new runic spell, dear Kristall, I think you don't need to learn from a Fossegrimen after all, now we just have to see the effects“-, and the effects were not long in appearing, all the Vikings set to work more vigorously, there were those who cut wood faster, those who carried very heavy weights faster, and Rokk took a large stone and took it with one hand. It was at that moment that Kristall Snö noticed Rokk, -“Rokk? What are you doing here?"- -“I came to call you for dinner, but then I started to hear you play and… sing, your new magic has an invigorating effect“- -“So my new spell has this effect, it could be useful in battle, I think I'll call it Styrkan i företaget (Company Strength)“- -“With such strength we could fight much better, but now that you've done a new magic you can also stop playing, allow Mrs. Vilhelm? “- -“You're welcome Rokk, vi ses imorgon, Kristall (See you tomorrow Kristall)“- -“ Tack för musiklektionerna (Thank you for the music lessons)“-. So Kristall and Rokk went back to their house to eat. The whole family was gathered, Rokk, Alfhild, Henrik and Kristall Snö, and there was excellent whale tuna to eat with cheese and baked bread, and then there was also some good beer, which Kristall was now drinking too. Suddenly the aura around Rokk vanished, the spell was over. Rokk told his mother about it, -“Dear mother, Kristall has just created a new rune spell, and this here enhances the abilities“- -“Sometimes I would prefer Kristall Snö to stay here with me, rather than risking her life, when I die who will take care of the house?“- -“Mom, don't say that in front of them, do you want to understand that Kristall Snö was chosen by the gods? And she is destined to do great things“-, then Kristall chimed in, -"Actually, you haven't chosen a partner anymore, Rokk, I could sometimes stay with my grandmother, help her with the cooking chores, instead of fighting"- -"Maybe it's true, I should find you a new mother, but you can't stay here forever, you are too strong to be a simple house mare, indeed you are now becoming a real mare, maybe you should find yourself a mate in the village"- , Henrik replied -“There is already a pony in the village who likes Kristall, it is Tobias, he often asks me about her, and when he approaches her he blushes and smiles away embarrassed“-, Kristall Snö blushed , -“Stop this thing Henrik, I'm not in love with Tobias“- -"He's the one who's in love with you, you should ask him out"- Rokk chimed in, -“Actually Tobias is a good pony, he too is one of the many Vikings who could be a good husband for you, even if he is not as strong as you, but he is a good pony and he knows how to fight“- -“Rokk, but I don't love him“- -“Because you don't know him well yet, give him a chance, and maybe he could be a good boyfriend and then a good husband, maybe one of those Vikings who only has one wife“- -"I don't know, there are still some things I would like to do like….how to figure out who that seer was"- -“Do you still think about that mare?“- -"I dreamed about it Rokk, I had a strange dream"- -"Really? And what did you dream?“- -“I don't know, I mean, I was in a castle, I go inside it and then I go up some stairs, suddenly the stairs behind me disappear and there's a wall instead of them, then there's a long corridor, full of pegasi and dragon statues and at the end of the corridor, there is a female pegasus statue, and a female dragon statue and there is a skeletal dragon hand pointing to a big book that opens, the pages are blank except for the first page which has names written, at that moment a feather of mine comes off the right wing and writes my name on that page, I don't remember the other names, only the top name, which was Solar Calendar, then I hear a voice behind me saying <>, I turn around and what I see is the seer pegasus“- -“Was it really her?”- -"Ja, but before I wake up I can talk to her"- -“What did you ask for?”- -“What did all this mean and what was her name?”- -“And what did she answer you?”- -“She said that dream was the testimony that I was destined to do many things, to use magic, and to meet the gods, and then when she told me her name, she said she couldn't tell me, but if I wanted to knowing it she said it was the first one I read“- -“So the name of that pegasus was Solar Calendar?“- -“Ja, she herself nodded to me“- -“Strange, because it's not a name I know, I should ask Hov“- -"I'm afraid it's useless, she herself in her dream repeated to me that no one knew about her, and that I had to remember her advice, that is to know how to use my heart and not my muscles"- -“Well, I think that dream highlighted the fact that you are a special pegasus“- -“Yeah but….I still have some questions, I would like to know more about myself, why did the crystal dragon skull give me rune powers? And why do my eyes affect the gods? And now my voice also has magical properties?“- -“But your voice was already magical, have you forgotten your healing song? Now don't think about it Snö, tomorrow Ryt will return to the village and you will have another training session“- -“Right, I'll train a bit with him“-. When it was time to sleep Kristall Snö lay on her straw bed already thinking about when she would fight with Ryt, because after all she could always vent her thoughts always on the fight as well as with music. In the morning Kristall Snö immediately breakfasted with some bread and cheese, then ran out to see if Ryt had returned, but she didn't see him, so she went to his hut, but she didn't find him there either. Then the pegasus went out to go and fight with someone, and she saw that there were already Vikings who were training, they were ponies, griffins and yaks. Then near Kristall Snö came a pony as big as her, it was all dark blue, -“ Hej .... hej Kristall (Hey....hello Kristall)“- -“ Åh, hej Tobias, tränar du? (Oh, hi Tobias, are you training?)“- -“Ja, I'm training with my new ax, and….I wanted…I wanted to know if you would like to train?“- -“Sure, and since it's the first time we train together I'll use only one axe“- -“For me it is an honor to fight with you that you are one of the strongest warriors“- -“You make me blush like this“-, so the pegasus and the pony started fighting with their axes, Tobias seemed to defend himself well, but Kristall was faster. -“You are really fast Kristall“- -“Don't get distracted Tobias, if you were to face an enemy like me you could lose immediately“- -“But….but…you are not an enemy“- -“You have to be ready, myself with Rokk I faced several enemies and many monsters, like the Revenants and the Tatzelwurms“- -"I've never seen one before"- -"Sorry but what kind of Viking are you? Have you ever faced a monster?”- -“Nej, I've never faced a monster, only ponies, unicorns, pegasi, griffins, yaks, but never monsters, I've never met any“- -“Now that I think about it, you have never visited with us in the other realms, I have never seen you with us“- -“My father wants me to protect the village instead of risking my life in other realms, or against monsters I can't defeat“-, Kristall swung her ax at Tobias and knocked him down, -“Well, if you want to be a good Viking, you have to be ready to anything, even to face a Troll, or a Draugr, and I have faced many“- -“I don't think….I don't think I'm brave like you, even Freiya blessed you“- -"Don't feel inferior just because I'm special, everyone can do their part for the village, I myself had to forget my old village to integrate here, my father never wanted me to fight or use runic magic, come on now get up“-, Tobias stood up, and thanked Kristall for the nice words of encouragement, -“Tack (Thank you), thank you Snö, I'm glad to have you as a friend“- -"Do you…do you really consider me a friend? This is the first time you've spoken to me and you never told me you were my friend" -, at that moment Tobias blushed, -“Ehm… .the truth… is that you… .you are pretty… ..that is… .you are strong, and I will …… see you“-, and the embarrassed pony ran away towards his house, Kristall smiled, -“Though… .. he's not so weak, he just needs to train, I might even think he's cute if he wasn't so badly trained, he just needs some encouragement“-. Suddenly screams were heard, there was a small yak running away, Kristall knew him, it was Konrad, the son of the chief, who was a little smaller than Henrik, Kristall stopped him, -“Hey Konrad, what's going on? Why are you running?” -“Draugr, Draugr are coming and attacking Ryt“- -“ Vad?(What?)“-. Kristall went to the entrance of the village to go and see, and she couldn't believe, there was an army of Draugr who were surrounding Ryt, they were ponies, griffins and yaks, Kristall called the other vikings together to help Ryt, but she moved first, and flew to Ryt, found herself surrounded as well. -“What are you doing here Kristall? It's dangerous"- -"That's why I came here, to help you"- -“You can't face them alone“- -“Neither you do, that's why I'm here“-, a Draugr pony lunged at Kristall, and she called on the bärsärk, and she grabbed the Draugr pony by the hoof and she slammed him into the snow several times, then crushed his head with a hoof. She then she pounced on more Draugr, -“I'll show you, viking ilska (Viking wrath)“-, Kristall struck two Draugr with two ax blows, first with a lunge and then with a horizontal cut, then from the crowd came a very large Draugr yak and charged at Ryt, the large pony prepared to parry with his sword, but Kristall Snö took her bow and shot a magic arrow, -“Take this, foul beast, pil av is (Ice arrow)“-, the arrow left a trail of ice behind it which vanished, and struck the yak Draugr, Kristall penetrated the hard skin of the monster and froze it completely , then Ryt just hit it and the monster fell apart, -“Wow, Kristall, you have such strong techniques and you have never used them against me?”- -“You are not my enemy, why should I kill you?”- -“I thought I taught you to do the best against me, with these thoughts you will never be able to defeat me“- -“I don't want to defeat you just fight you“-, Ryt however told her to look behind her, there was a Draugr griffin coming towards her, she took another ax and hit him in the face, -“ Now I'll teach you to taunt me, Magma Yxa (Magma Axe) “-, Kristall's ax became magma, but she felt no pain, however when she struck the griffin, it caught fire, and then she struck the other Draugr which also caught fire, Ryt meanwhile with a single blow had landed seven, but behind him there was another yak Draugr, Ryt was ready to hit him, but Kristall with an ax blow in flight shouted -“Förstöra pansar (Armour Breaker)” -, with that blow Kristall pulverized the Draugr, then she loaded one of her axes and threw it, -“Flygande yxa (Flying Axe)”-, the ax struck several Draugr, commanded from afar with Kristall's hoof, each of the monsters was cut in half and then disappeared, until Kristall summoned her axe, -“Come forward undead monsters, I can continue all day“- -“ I like you in thi way, Kristall“-, but an arrow of light hit a Draugr pony, Kristall saw that it was Henrik together with the other Vikings of the village who came to save both her and Ryt, the pegasus was happy. Eventually all the Draugr were decimated, and Ryt was taken to her hut, the yak Johanna checked that he was not injured, Ryt however turned to Kristall, -“You came first to help me Kristall, you called the others, but you came first to help me“- -“I couldn't leave you in trouble, Ryt“- -"I could have done it by myself"- -"It doesn't seem like it to me, you were in trouble, so I came to help you"- -“And I'm glad you did, now I could see techniques that you had never used against me before“- -“But I've always used them against monsters“- -“You can ask me what you want, gold, weapons, more power, I can give it to you“- -"Thank you, but what I want is to fight you, so now rest, when you are ready I will come to train, in the meantime I will train with the nyckelharpa“- -“Ah, now, can you play?“- -“I'm fine, now rest“-, Kristall left Ryt to rest and went back to playing the instrument at the house of the yak Vilhelm. Vilhelm was always happy with the music lessons that she gave to Kristall, also because she had only sons she would have liked to have a daughter, also the yak Johanna, the wife of the chief was always happy to be able to teach her something since she only had the little one yak Konrad as a son, in the village there were more sons than daughters and Kristall Snö was the most envied of all, many wanted to be like her, but she felt like a simple pegasus, even if from the meeting with that seer pegasus she felt she was much more than just a young mare. However in the center of the village, after about an hour Ryt called Kristall Snö for their training duel. -"Please Kristall, don't hold back, you have to hit me with all your strength"- -"But I don't want to hurt you"- -"But I want you to fight with all your strength, because from now on I'll be serious, I'll use all my strength, and therefore I want you to do it too"- -“Are you sure about that?”- -“If you will not use all your strength against me, you will have to make a promise“- -"And which?"- -“You will have to stop fighting“-, all the Vikings were amazed, as well as Kristall, she didn't want to stop fighting, she was strong both with weapons and with magic, giving up fighting meant giving up a part of herself , the same part of her that her father denied her. -"Okay Ryt, you wanted it, I'll give my best, but then don't complain"- -“It was what I wanted, finally a duel with full energy, that nap did me good“-. Ryt and Kristall Snö moved to a larger area of the village, where the other Vikings trained, Ryt picked up a large sword with his good hoof, and Kristall adjusted her bow on her shoulders, and took her ice ax and the air one. Ryt got ready, -“Let's begin“-, both ponies faced each other and parried the first blow, Kristall had to put all her energy into it, so she used her two axes forcefully, and began to use various techniques, -“Dubbla sår (Double Wounds)“-, Kristall wielded her axes violently and confidently, but Ryt parried every blow, both with his sword and with his prosthetic hoof, Rokk watched from afar along with Henrik, he as everyone knew that Ryt was impossible to beat, so he just hoped that Kristall would prove to Ryt that she was stronger, so she didn't have to give up fighting. Ryt turned and then slashed, that created a wind in the whole village, but Kristal didn't back down and parried with her shield, but then Ryt jumped in the air and even if he was a big pony he climbed very high, and hit the spot where Kristall was, the pegasus looked in the air, but it was too late, so Ryt hit it, and created a crater around him, he was really determined. Rokk got scared and called her daughter, but at the previous point Kristall was gone, Ryt was amazed, she had raised some snow, and a fog had risen which immediately became thick, -“But what's going on?“-, Then he heard the voice of the pegasus behind him, -“ This is the Dimma av is (Ice Mist) a runic spell that other yaks had never completed, but I managed to finish it and improve it, I recalled it just before you hit me, now I want to see if you can see myself with this fog, I myself had difficulty seeing the first few times with this spell“-. Kristall started moving around Ryt, then she hit him not once but twice, he couldn't see her, but she started predicting his blows by hearing the sound of his hooves, and then the next blow he parried, but then didn't he heard nothing more, at that moment an ax came from the sky, he heard it and dodged it and the ax hit the snow, so Ryt looked up, -“That's why you weren't running anymore, because you were flying, but you made a mistake flying, now you're vulnerable“-, Kristall threw two ice arrows which Ryt however dodged and threw the other axe, this one too Ryt dodged, -“Now you are without weapons, except arrows, but I won't give you time to use them“-, so Ryt jumped and pointed his sword at Kristall, but the mare had a trick to play that he didn't know, when he approached he saw that the pegasus had a transparent chain in one hoof, -“Vad?(What?)“-, Kristall pulled it and immediately swooped against Ryt, he parried, but Kristall with her back hooves hit right on the sword and disarmed Ryt, then she landed right next to her ax of ice, and then Ryt landed too, he turned to her and asked, -“Interesting, I'd like to know how you did it“-, meanwhile the fog had cleared, -“Simple, it's something I can only do with my ax ice, I can throw and summon it, but I managed to create a power-up, I can summon an almost invisible chain of ice and so instead of summoning my weapon to me, I summon myself to my weapon, I just pull the chain and I'll be right back at the point where I threw the ax, it is useful for me if I want to get close to a big enemy and hit him“-, the other Vikings were amazed and cheered the pegasus, -“No doubt you amazed me, you really worked hard“-, Kristall then pointed to Ryt's sword in the snow, -“Now take back the sword, and let's continue the duel, I'm really enjoying unleashing myself against you“-, but Ryt smiled, -"To continue? I think we're done." -"Why? Are you tired?"- -"Tired? I still have a lot of energy, I'm just amazed at what you've managed to do” -, Ryt approached Kristall and touched her with the prosthetic on her shoulder, -“You managed to beat me, and that was what I wanted“- -"But I didn't beat you, I only disarmed you"- -“And do you think it's not much? No one in these years that I've been coming here has ever disarmed me, with any of my weapons, yet you, you succeeded" -, then Ryt called Hov, -“Chief Hov, I finally have the news I was waiting for, I was looking for the strongest warrior in the village and I found him, only that he wasn't a male but a mare, and she's here near me“-, Hov was amazed, -“You mean that Kristall Snö is the strongest warrior in the village? The warrior you were looking for so much according to the prophecy you heard?“- -"Exactly, it's her, she's the only one who managed to disarm me, no one had succeeded, but she succeeded with her magic and her techniques, I'm sorry for the damage to the village, but I can fix everything “-, Kristall wondered, -“But how can it be that I'm the strongest in the village? There are bigger ponies, griffins, minotaurs and yaks"- -"It's true, but the fact remains that you can beat them, I wanted the strongest warrior I've ever faced and I found him, come on people let's party"-. So Hov gave the order for a feast to be prepared in the middle of the village, with various foods, and much ale, Ryt sat down by Kristall, Hov talked to Ryt, -“But now what will you do Ryt? Will you take Kristall with you?”- -"I can't take her with me, but I'm happy with the duel we had, indeed now that I finally found the perfect warrior I can tell you the truth, I called those Draugr"-, Kristall was amazed and spat out some of the beer was drinking, even the other Vikings were amazed, Kristall turned to Ryt, -“What do you mean that you called them?“- -“I wanted to test you, I wanted to see who had come to help me, and between us I could kill them by myself“-, Hov asked him -“Why did you want to test us?“- -"It took you all a long time to come and give me a hoof, while Kristall after calling you rushed to help me, indeed when you came, Kristall had already destroyed a lot of them, moreover she when she disarmed me she didn't take advantage of the moment to hurt me, on the contrary, she wanted me to take back my weapon, so does a warrior with a noble heart, while you others would have waited for the right moment to hit me, right? "-, Rokk turned to him, -“But now that you've found your warrior, what will you do? You said you would stay here in the village until you were defeated by the right warrior"- -“Dear Rokk, now that I've been beaten I can tell the truth, I already knew that Kristall was the one, from the first time I looked into her eyes, I knew she had potential inside of her but she had to awaken it and then I wasn’t honest with you not even with my name, you see now I can tell you who I am, I am not Ryt, but my real name is Tyr, the god Tyr“-. The whole village was incredulous at that news, Hov was the first to speak, -“Tyr? The god of war? But of course now everything fits together, your mastery in fighting, your strength, your amputated hoof, it's because the Fenrir wolf ate it from you“- -“Exactly, and the real place where I'm from is Asgard, and that's where I used to go sometimes, so I couldn't tell you where I came from, but now that I've found my right warrior now I can go back to Asgard permanently“-, Kristall interrupted him, -"But does that mean I'll never see you again?"- -“Maybe yes, maybe not, but don't worry Kristall, you have a lot to do here in Midgard and then I have to give you some other things before I leave, they are gifts that you won't have to give to anyone, first drink some more beer“-, Kristall did as told by Tyr, in her head she couldn't believe that she had been fighting all that time with a god, and not a normal god but the Norse god of war. After the celebration, Tyr took Kristall, Hov and Rokk to his hut, where he took a chest and opened it, from which he took a beautiful sword that gave off a magical green light, and gave it to Kristall, -“This, dear Kristall, is an Ulfberht sword, a magic sword that you don't own its secrets are unknown, but it is said that only the best dwarf bison of the nine kingdoms can forge it, it is a magic sword, I promised to give it to the best warrior, and now that day is today“-. Kristall Snö noticed the magical aura of the sword and the Ulfberht writing on the blade, she had heard of those legendary blades, but she would never have thought of handling one, -“ Tack så mycket, Tyr (Thanks a lot, Tyr) it really is a sword worthy of its fame, I can't wait to use my techniques with this one“-, she replied, -“Not only that, from now on I give you another gift, I will teach you, the Hämnd av Tyr (Tyr's Revenge), it will allow you to make a counterattack based on the damage you have suffered, and you can use it with all weapons , well not really just with sword and axe, I haven't found a way to use it with arrows yet“-. Having said that Tyr placed his right hoof on Kristall's head and with a little magical mist he passed the magic to her, then he adjusted the clothes a bit, -“ Well, I guess this is goodbye, I was fine in this house, but now I know that this village is in good hooves, and all thanks to your education Rokk“- -“Tack (Thank you) Tyr, it was an honor to fight with you, for the whole village it was an honor to have a god here“- -"Oh, but I don't think I'm the last god Kristall will meet, I read it in her eyes, she's destined to do other things, but if you're looking for answers dear Kristall, you know where to find them"- -“The tree of Yggdraill?“- -“Exactly, if you are looking for questions go there, but choose the right ones, well, see you“-. The whole village greeted the god of war who was leaving, he didn't turn back even a second, and kept walking in the snow and then disappeared, Kristall wanted to say goodbye to him one last time, but she didn't want to cry in front of a god . Around her she heard the clamor of the villagers who were still incredulous that she had beaten Tyr, and that she was the strongest in the village, they were more envious voices, then she went to the center of the village to stare at Tyr's old hut, that by now it was empty, and once again someone advised her to go to Yggdrasill's tree, perhaps it was a sign to really find answers and immediately, but then the Städ bison arrived and spoke to her, -“Hey Kristall, was it a really good day?”- -"Tyr also advised me to go to the Yggdrasill tree, if other ponies are telling me it means that I have to go there, maybe I have to talk to the Norns"- -“You must be careful because the Norns cannot tell you your future“- -“But I don't want to know my future, but my past, and maybe I'll find answers by asking about my mother, well, I don't know anything about her, except what my father told me about her, and Regn too, but I don't I know whether Regn lied or not, and if there is anyone in the nine realms who knows about my mother, then it must be the Norns“- -“If I were you I would prepare well, but the Norns are not combative, so you can go there even unarmed“-, at that moment the yak Hov arrived and called Kristall, -“Hey Kristall Sno? Can you come to my hut?”- -“Ja, immediately, boss“- -"There is something I would like to give you, I promised myself to give it to the best warrior, and now that I know it's you, I can give it to you"- -“What is it about?“- -“Let's go to my house and I'll explain it to you“-, So Kristall followed her boss to his house, entered and saw little Konrad who was helping his mother with the bread, in the house there was an attic, Hov and Kristall climbed the ladder and came to a trunk, the yak opened it. -"Once many years ago I was alone in the snow, monsters were attacking the village and I chased the leader of those monsters, it took me a long time to follow him to his lair, it was a very large cave, with various treasures and many bones , the leader of the monsters was a Lich“- -“A Lich? I've never met one, I've only heard of them“- -"Anyway if I had defeated him the Draugr would never have come to our village again, he was the one who summoned them and so I fought and defeated him, and from his corpse I took one of his weapons and that is this one"-, Hov took a stick with a ball attached to the tip, -“Åh, en magisk fins! (Oh, a magic staff!) I knew they existed, but I never got to see one, only some dwarf bisons can do it well“- -"Exact! And my wife was able to use it for some time, then when Tyr came to our village and told me about the prophecy of the strongest warrior in the village then I decided to hide this magic staff and give it to the warrior, and I am glad that he is you, you know how to use runes like my wife, indeed even better, you have invented other spells better than both her and the yak Vilhelm, thanks to this stick you will be able to insert your spells and invoke them directly from it, it will also increase the effect of your magic, always keep it with you, Kristall, I know you will make better use of it than me“- -“Tack, tack för denna gåva (Thank you, thank you for this gift), I don't know how to thank you boss“- -“Well, there would be a way to thank me, if you really want to“- -“Tell me, what do you want me to do?”- -“Here, I would like you to stay forever in this village“- -"In what sense?"- -“Don't get me wrong, you can always go around doing quests, and go to the other realms, but I would like you to consider this village your home“- -“But this village is already my home, I couldn't go anywhere else, even if I wanted to“- -"I know it seems like a strange request to you, but I think you are a fundamental person for this village, I myself have seen you grow, both inside and out, and I consider you one of my best warriors, if an assault were to happen I would that you were here"- -"Don't worry boss, I'll stay here, always if I'm not somewhere else fighting, or at sea fishing, however I'll be faithful to this village, even if I hear people already talking bad about me"- -“I heard those rumors, you don't have to account for them, they're just envious, many say you were lucky, others say that Tyr was tired, and other nonsense, they're just nonsense, it's not true, they forget that Tyr is a god , and that no one had managed to either hit or disarm him, and you instead beat him and proved to him that you are a loyal warrior, you are the best this village could have“- -“Tack, (Thank you) Hov, I'm honored, I'll put this stick to good use, I'll carry it in my bag, and see how I learn to use it“- -“If you want, my wife Johanna she can teach you something, and give you some advice, you are now like family“- -“Tack, now if you don't mind I have to go, I would like to continue my music lesson with the yak Vilhelm“-, So Kristall said goodbye to the boss and went to Vilhelm's house to play. As always the yak was happy with the progress Kristall was making, the sound made by the pegasus made her feel calm, Kristall thought the music helped her relax better, even before a fight, so she concentrated better every time she played the nyckelharpa. When Kristall Snö had finished she came out of the yak's hut and started flying, and leaned on the roof of her house, Rokk saw her and took a ladder to call her, -“Hey Snö, what are you doing up there?“- -“I was admiring the sea, Rokk, I needed a moment to think“- -“ What were you thinking? About your dream?“- -“Nej, it's that….I’ve decided“- -“Decided what?“- -"I have decided that I will go to the portal outside the village to go to the Bifrost, I want to go and find the Norns, I need answers to my many questions, Heimdallr knows me, so he will be able to show me the way to the tree"- -"But you have to be careful, the Norns won't be able to answer all the questions you ask, or rather those that have to do with your life, they can't tell you your future"- -"This is something they've already told me, in fact I won't ask about my future, I want to know my past, I want to ask about my mother, I know almost nothing about her, and therefore I have to know what they know about her, who better than them can know my mother, given that they have the fate of every creature between their fingers?“- -“Are you sure you want to know everything about your mother?”- -"Rokk, I need to know, I need to know why I have these special eyes, why I'm so good at fighting, at magic, I know my mother has something to do with it, but I don't know much, I don't care if what I know will be traumatic, I have to know, I have to know my mother to understand myself, so tomorrow I will go to Yggdrasill's tree“- -"Okay, but be careful, the Norns are peaceful, but it's better to be careful of the creatures that are in those places"- -“Of course I'll be careful, after all now I'm the strongest warrior in the village“- -“And I am very proud of this title“-.
