Curse Of The Serpent(Atreus x Reader)

|Chapter 2|

Freya brushed through my hair, gently running the brush through my long (H/c) hair. Tt had been a days since those people had been here. I'd asked Freya about them, apparently they were both gods

The older man a god from outside this realm, the younger boy apparently wasn't aware of his father being a god or himself either.

The slight breeze was nice, I sat on a rather large rock as Freya continued to brush my hair. My eyes shifted to the herd of deer that were drinking from the stream, Hildisvíni was still recovering after being shot by an arrow

Apparently the boy that I had seen a few days ago had shot him. I was slightly put off by this, who goes into the woods and shoots a strange oddly marked boar?

Freya had stopped brushing my hair awhile ago but had started styling my hair. Her fingers worked swift to fix a variety of braids into my hair and leaving the rest loose, tying them with twine

The intricate braids were complicated and took awhile to finish, yet they were beautiful.

"So, are you gonna go hunt and scout or do you want to train today?" Freya asked, I thought for a moment

I hadn't trained with Freya since before Hildisvíni had been shot, I'd gone scouting and hunting each day just in case they came back and tried to shoot more of the animals of the forest. They had shot Hildisvíni for target practice, they hadn't even been hungry.

"I'll train today." I replied quietly

"Why not some basic agility and defense, then we'll practice offense tomorrow." Freya smiled, she had finished the last braid. My hair was mostly down with a few braids here and there. I would tie it up when we trained

Kratos POV

The soft whistle of the wind was a harmonious sound. Atreus tailed behind me as I walked, we were walking through the thick mud

We were almost at the mountain, I climbed up a small ledge. Stopping at a stone arch that lead to a bridge. This wasn't going in direction of the mountain, rather slightly away from it

The arch lead to a large grove with tall rock walls and a bridge that went over a small creek

I could see some kind of rune puzzle on the other side of the bridge. Hacksilver, we could use that for gear upgrades

I started to walk over the small bridge, Atreus following me. Over the bridge was a half gazebo, either side was connected to the wall

The arch way on the other side of the bridge was covered in vines and brightly colored flowers

I entered and could see there was three dark caves, my eyes flickered around. I noticed the large bars that covered the caves

There was also a pedestal that had three levers, I walked over, eyeing them all closely

"Are you gonna pull one of them?" Atreus asked

"Quiet boy, let me make my decision." I replied sternly, Atreus rolled his eyes but I paid no mind to it

I tried the middle one, but nothing happened. I attempted the right one but there was no changes, I looked at the left one. I used both hands to pull the large lever back
