It's been 1000 years since Ragnarok happened.
The Gods have called a new meeting to discuss these events and, especially, their humiliating defeat. But all those who are still standing do not want to face this reality: Zeus, Ares, Hermes, Shiva, Hor...
The Valkyrie advanced until reached her destination: Akashic Records' room.
Entering found a gallant figure, sitting on a seat by records table and sipping some tea from a mug, with an extra pot and mug set out on the table: Jack the Ripper.
As soon as saw the Valkyrie enter, he greeted her by holding out his hand with the cup.
– Good evening, ma'am.
– Hi Jack… – somehow the Valkyrie was no longer surprised to find him around – I guess you know the second meeting ended.
– I just found out. A fight like one of gentleman Sasaki… With surprising colors for a woman…
Jack thought about it for a bit; Geir reached the records table and wiped the few remaining tears from both eyes.
– Have you seen my sisters?
– Sisters? Which ones?
– I mean--! – Geir almost laughed at herself – I mean Lif and Lifthrasir; I sent them here to talk alone with my sister and Sasaki, but… I don't see them here.
Jack took a sip from his mug before nodding.
– I saw them here recently, but went separate ways after arguing.
– They were fighting?
– I tried to make them change minds, but it was impossible. They both have a character as strong as the older of all you.
Geir for a moment felt homesick at mention of her eldest sister; nodded without giving it much importance.
– They always argue, and always reconcile. Will get over it in a bit. Still… – took the phone and sent a couple of messages – Leonidas will find them before get lost here.
– Right choice.
– And… I also have to talk to my sisters. For… choice of our next fighter.
Her hands trembled a little from the conclusions she had reached moments ago; Jack could see such a reaction of concern and uncertainty with his special eye.
– Are you okay?
– Huh!? – Geir was a little scared.
– I see you worried. – Jack extended his hand to take the extra cup – Would you like some tea?
Geir's mind was wandering when noticed Jack with the extra cup extended.
– What?
– A bit of tea?
– … Yes please.
The Englishman served it and extended it to Valkyrie, taking it in her small hands. She took some of the content; showed surprise on her face, although seemed to be used to it.
– I still don't understand how these teas are so good.
Jack smiled lopsidedly.
– A gentleman doesn't reveal his secrets.
– Typical of you…
The Valkyrie's phone, which had left on the table, rang a couple of times drawing the attention of both.
