"Brother, do we have to be in this shivering cold?" Kvasir said as he was shivering from the cold.

"I need to check up on Garm."

"Garm? Like the guardian of this very realm Helheim?"

"Yes, I need to free him."

"Brother, I know you angry at Odin for taking Barbara away and afraid of her getting hurt but don't worry, even those two spells you taught her can be used in various ways to protect her."

"Do those ways include protection from Mjolnir?"

"About that... we should start making a plan."

"That is the plan. Freeing Garm and attacking Asgard with my undead army and Hræsvelgr."

"Brother, did you forget that Valkyries now work for Odin and how are you certain Garm will help us instead of tearing the realm's fabric apart and give us a worse ending than Ragnarök?"

"Common, I have done it thousands of times to get my artifacts or weapons." As Hel said it, he tore the realm fabric and got his weapon and the torn part got fixed itself.

"See? It got fixed by itself! Realms aren't weak as you think."

"Yes, it did brother, but you have torn it the right way. But Garm tear the realm fabric open in a way that it cannot heal!"

"Garm is my brother, in a way. Our father is ᛚᛟᚲᛁ and I might not look as I used to know but I am sure he will listen to me."

"Brother, listen to your own words, if Garm doesn't know who you are he will never to you. Especially he got tricked by his best friend ᛏᛁᚱ and your father ᛚᛟᚲᛁ. He will never trust anyone."

"Even to you?"

"Well, he used to trust me, and he knows I tried to stop them so maybe he still trusts me."

"So? What are we waiting for?"

"I am not sure brother; I have a bad feeling all about this." As Kvasir said it Frejya showed up behind them.

"I have been looking for you to throughout all 9 realms! What are you two doing here?"

"Can't I visit my own kingdom once in a whi-"

"He is trying to free Garm and declare war to Asgard."

"Thank you, head." Hel said looking at Kvasir dead in the eye.

"Declaring war on Asgard? Why? And how are you so sure you will be able to control Garm? He will give us a worse ending than Ragnarök."

"I said the same thing my, my lady."

"Odin kidnapped my apprentice and I need to get her back and before you say anything I tried to talk with him, and it definitely did not go well."

"You have an apprentice? For what purpose?" Frejya asked.

"I'm afraid that is none of your business my lady." Kvasir answered.

"For once I agree with you." Hel added.

"This is your return after I saved your life?"

"You owed me. I saved you and the whole Vanaheim. Including your brother and your loved ones."

"That is an undeniable fair point isn't it, my lady?" Frejya just left the realm without saying a word.

"Are we doing this?" Hel said.

"I guess sadly we will." Kvasir said.

"How bad can it really be?"

"Oh, not too bad. Only a big chance of fate worse than Ragnarök which is happening as you said."
