When Juniper fell unconscious
"Juniper!" Atreus yells as the girl fell unconscious. He rushes towards the girl and lays her somewhere as Kratos starts to fight the monster. "Please be safe until we finish," He mutters and he rubs Juniper's cheek softly before running to help his father. "We're going to fight that?!?" Atreus says as he walks beside Kratos and his father hands him his bow.
"We have no choice," Kratos says and they start. As Atreus was fighting, he doesn't notice a golden glow appear and disappear on his wrist.
When they finished, Atreus runs up to the corpse and begins to stab him furiously and scream. "That's what you get!" He shouts in anger. "Boy!" Kratos calls him but he doesn't pay attention.
"Think I'm afraid of you?!" The boy continues to yell while coughing a little. "You're nothing to me!"
"BOY!" Kratos tries to pull him away from the troll. "Nothing!" Kratos grabs both his arms. "Look at me! Look at me, boy! Boy – look at me!"
"We did it," Atreus said as he starts to calm down and Kratos stares at him for a moment. "You are not ready." He gives Atreus his bow back and starts to get up and walk towards Juniper as his son starts to follow after him. "What? Are you serious? I found the deer. I proved myself. How am I not ready?"
"We are going home," Kratos starts to carry Juniper bridal style. "I haven't been sick in a long time. I can do this." Atreus tells him, his father just looks at him over his shoulder. "You are NOT ready."I AM ready." Atreus shoots back. "Do not speak again." They start to head home.

They soon stop at a door. Kratos softly places Juniper on his back and touches the door. "Still can't get the doors open, huh?" Atreus says with a little sass. "Quiet." The two then decide to climb up a wall to get home. They soon have to face some Dragurs which becomes problematic since Juniper is still unconscious.
Kratos hands the girl over to his son as he starts to fight him with his axe with Atreus shooting arrows from the side lines. One Dragur notices the passed out girl and rushes towards her. "No!" Atreus shouts as he gets ready to shoot the creature but stops when he sees what happens next.
Juniper quickly gets up and stabs the Dragur in the chest with no hesitation. When he looks at her eyes, he noticed how they had a golden glow in them but it disappears when she blinks and becomes aware of her surroundings. She notices blue creature and says, "What is THAT thing?"
Kratos then defeats it with his bare hands since it wasn't affected by his axe and Atreus hugs his best friend. "I thought I lost you for a minute," Juniper smiles softly before hugging him back and they pull away. "I told you something was different about the forest." The boy tells his father.
"And I told you do not to speak." Kratos tells which confuses the girl but she doesn't question it and they start to walk closer to home. "But why would a Fire Troll burn mother's garden? And since when are Draugr so close to the house? And what was that frozen thing that attacked us?" Atreus starts to question him.
"I do not know. Now be silent, we are almost home." When they get to the front of their home, Juniper notices that the fire died down and there was nothing left but Faye's ashes and the lily pad flower she left? She shakes her head, trying not to worry about it. "Inside, children." The two kids walk inside as Kratos stays out for a moment.
Juniper puts down her weapons and walks over to Atreus to sit beside him. She glances over at him before thinking about those memories she saw of the future. 'Are those really from the future or am I just imagining it and what was that gold chain on my wrist?' She questions everything in her head and doesn't notice Atreus looking at her in worry which causes him to grab her hand.
"Are you okay, June?" He asks the girl which makes her smile a little. "Of course, I'm okay, Treus but what's going on with you and Kratos?"
The boy starts to frown a little but explains to her what happened while she was unconscious which surprises her. "It's not fair. He doesn't know anything..." Atreus says as his father walks into the cabin.
"You lost control." Kratos tells him. "That thing was trying to kill us and it hurt Juniper. It's not like you don't get angry in a fight." Atreus tries to argue and Juniper gently lays hand on his shoulder to calm him down.
"Anger can be a weapon if you control it – use it. You clearly cannot. When you lose..." The old god tries to explain but Atreus interrupts him. "I haven't been sick in a long time. I'm better now."
"Fine," Kratos puts his hands in front of him. "Come on then."
"You want me to hit you?" Atreus asks him. "I want you to try." Kratos tells him and the boy sighs before trying to hit him but he slaps his hand away. "OWWW! What are you - ?"
"Try again." Kratos orders him. When Atreus goes to hit him again, he blocks him again and Atreus stands up. "Why are you doing that?" He asks him which made Juniepr start to worry about what's going to happen next.
"Too slow. Try again." He slaps his fist away. "Cut it out!" Atreus shouts. "Weak again," Kratos slaps his fist again. "Again."
"STOP IT!"
"AGAIN." Kratos tells him. When Atreus tries to hit him again, he slips and falls to the floor and starts to cough. Juniper rushes towards him, putting a hand on his back to calm him down but Kratos pulls him up by his arm. "Your anger... you can get lost in it. The path ahead is difficult and you, Atreus, are clearly not ready."
Juniper looks at her best friend in sadness but it disappears when a loud noise comes from the roof. "What was that?" Atreus says. "QUIET." The noise continues until someone knocks on the door and a voice comes from behind it. "Come on out! It's no use hiding anymore. I know who you are..."
"What's going on? Do you know him?" Atreus asks his father as Juniper starts to get headache for some reason. 'Why now?!'
"More importantly I know what you are!" The stranger says. "Children. Beneath the floor. Now..."
"But... you told us never to go down there. Who is that?" Atreus continues to question him. "I do not know." Kratos answers him as he opens the floor with a hatch. "I do not know. Get IN." The two kids quickly get under the floor and Kratos closes the hatch and he covers it with a cover.
Juniper tries to calm down her headache and Atreus notices. "Are you sure you're okay, June?" He says as he places a his hand atop hers which calms her headache down a little somehow. "Yeah, just a headache but you calm it down somehow and I like that." She leans her head his shoulder and the two smile. "You calm me down too."
