The battle in Asgard carried on. The palace guards announced a curfew in the Lower and Upper City, as the foreign invaders had already victimized three God Warriors: Fenrir in the forests, Hagen in the caves and Míme in the ruins. The news that the sensible violinist had been the victim of Athena's violence was the last blow to the peaceful hope of the people of Asgard, who began to shout slogans in the central squares, causing this intervention by the palace guards for the very good of the villagers of the land.
Fenrir watched the movement from a distance beside her wolves, confused about the commotion in the city of men. Hagen was still delirious tormented by the Phantom Phoenix Strike, being closely watched over by Princess Freia, but also by June. Míme the violinist had indeed played the last chords of a wonderful requiem and now lay dead in the ruins of Fossegrim, his body already being little by little covered by snow as Shun and Geist went on to Valhalla Palace.
Alberich, in the Forbidden Forest, however, had already victimized two Athena Saints: Shaina and her beloved rival Seiya who, even without his cloth, ventured into battle. For all this news was reported by the guards to Sid, the keeper of the entrance hall of the Valhalla Palace.
"Míme really was defeated." surprised Siegfried still hoping that Hilda's spy crows could perhaps be wrong, but then there was no doubt that the violinist now lay defeated and the Athena Saints were heading towards that Palace.
"Alberich seems to have had success with the Athena Saints."
"I can't understand. An incredible warrior like Míme defeated and a useless one like Alberich managed to defeat two of them. None of this makes sense."
"I don't understand either, Siegfried." Sid agreed." Alberich wasn't even called to the Council, he lived outside Asgard and it wasn't rare for Hilda to better guide him because of his dubious activities. He never really seemed to care about Asgard or the honor of being a God Warrior."
"He's a snake, Sid." Siegfried argued." But as a serpent, he is also very cunning. Alberich is very intelligent, that cannot be denied. No wonder he became one of Hilda's Counselors in this moment of crisis, but unlike us, he earned his post not because of honor and pride, but because his words put him there."
"Maybe it's good we have someone like him on our side."
"I'm not entirely sure whose side he's on."
"At least he's not on Athena's side."
"Isn't him?" asked Siegfried." He befriended a Sanctuary Saint and embraced a prisoner in his own home, putting his name before his quest."
"It's terrible to have to agree with Alberich, but he was right. We needed more warriors at this time of battle."
"Hell." his friend grumbled.
"Why, Siegfried." Sid ventured into dangerous territory." If only you could forgive Sigmund."
"Hilda will not forgive Sigmund!" he shouted to his friend.
"Your brother has Odin at heart." Sid tried again.
"That's enough, Sid. We're only talking about it because Hilda isn't with us. But like her, I want nothing to do with my brother. He betrayed Odin. And will be trapped until his days are done."
The conversation ended abruptly and Siegfried turned his back on the God Warrior Sid, leaving him with the entrance hall of Valhalla, while he returned to Hilda's huge chambers.
