God of War: Ragnarök

Chains of The Past

Atreus, Greg, Ori, and Senn stood at their cave entrance with the mighty God of Thunder, the destroyer of giants, son of Odin, and the murderer of Atreus' father, standing menacingly infront of them.

"Can I come in?" Thor asked, surprising the group as he pulled a bottle out of nowhere. "I have mead!"

"Don't think I forget what you did!" Yelled Atreus before Greg shakily speaks. "Come right in, sir!"

Atreus, Mimir, Ori, and Senn looked at their comrade with 'really?' look on their faces. The marked warrior then looked at the God of Thunder before motioned him to come in. Thor walks as he, Atreus and his men enters the cave.

As the men walked through the entrance at the tunnel, Atreus stops to look at Thor. Despite their same height, the marked warrior felt small compared to his father's murderer. He looked at the belly that the scar had not faded. They both then continue to walk.

Everyone in the hideout were surprised to see the God of Thunder himself came in. They all had mixed emotions about him. Some that were afraid of him, some were angry at him, and some were clueless as to why is he here.

"Nice place." Thor comments as he and Atreus sits down at the dining-table. Thor puts his hammer down at the table, Atreus putting his axe onto it, and Kala comes in and puts two cups.

The God of Thunder grabs the bottle and pours the two cups as he looked at Kratos' son, who had his rage-filled eyes stuck on him. Thor then puts the bottle down as takes his cup. Silence filled the entire underground as nobody said a word, until he does.

"Why are you here?" Atreus asks with impatience in his tone, not even bothering taking the cup.

"Just, uh, being polite." Thor replies. Suddenly, two ravens flew in and landed on both his shoulders, one cawing at the God of Thunder as he continues. "Are you a calm and reasonable person, like your dad?"

"If the moment calls for calm." Atreus continues, slowly starts to losing his temper. For years, he wanted to kill Thor after he murders his father. But he couldn't, not after what he himself did to Modi.

"I say the moment calls for calm, yeah." Thor chuckles. Soon, everyone in the hideout heard a loud banging on the door. Atreus gestured Kala to open it as she goes and does it.

But when she opens the door, every mortal in the underground went shocked. They saw an eyepatch that nobody could mistake it for. The All-Father himself, standing right infront of everyone.

"You know who I am." Odin greeted the mortals as he makes his way to Thor and Atreus. He grabs a chair before continuing. "Back before winter set in, there are some... misunderstandings. Regretable ones."

Odin then sat down between the two Giant/God hybrids as he continues. "But I think we have a better idea of who we're dealing with. Now, what you two did to his boys... self-defense. Dying is what we Aesir live for. And let's be honest, they were kinda useless."

The All-Father then takes the cup Thor was gonna drink it as his father drinks it. "But Baldur, he had value. He was my best tracker, my closer. Yeah, his mind was gone, sure. But he had his use and now he's gone because of you, you follow me?"

"What do you want?" Atreus finally speaks as Odin takes his cup, sips it, then puts it down as he unexpectedly replies.

"How about peace?" The people in the hideout perks their interest as the God of Wisdom continues. "How does peace strike the son of the esteemed, retired God of War? How 'bout you don't just kill Thor or me?"

This got the confusion of the mortals as the All-Father continues again. "How about you just stay in your hand-made bunker, keep your little people save, and seek to not plot against us Aesirs? Of course, even if it means that these two..."
