- Oh, Look, it's Siegfried. Hey, Sieg!
- Sebastian. Rica. I was looking for you.
- You found us.
- A quick question from Ienan: Do you know what you stole?
- A pin ! A kind of religious thing. Why do I feel we just made a big mistake?
- A galactic mistake, I'd say.
- To this point ? How is it possible? We just stole a fuckin' pin!
- Well, dear Rica, know that this fuckin' pin, as you say is one of the keys of the most powerful weapon in the universe.
- One of the keys. It means that there are others.
- Yes. There was one among the angels and one among the demons.
- And of course, this is no longer the case. We had the last and just kindly gave it the villains who want to destroy all life in the universe. Is that it?
- We don't know but it's a possibility, yes.
- So you're coming to kill us? What? But we didn't know! Tell him Seb! That wasn't on purpose!
- I know. Anyway, I'm not here for that. I'm just here to know to whom you gave it. Someone else will take care of you.
- What! Run, Seb! They can't catch us! Relax, Rica! He's joking. And how am I supposed to know? We don't see his face behind his damn mask!
- It's almost too easy.
- This isn't funny.
- Well, seriously. What have you done with it?
- Shipping in a discreet package.
- Where?
- Spain. Sieg? Hello? Earth to Siegfried! Someone here? Seb. Pinch him to see.
- It's not in Spain.
- How do you know?
- I know it.
- It may still be in transit.
- No.
- So someone has recovered it when it was posted. Sieg?
- Yes.
- You'll have to really explain to us how your powers work one of these days. Yeah. It's a little creepy.
- You both know the legend of the Norse goddess Freyja?
- No. No.
- No matter. Google is your friend. Her husband Odr wronged her with the beautiful Alwine
- And I guess the Freyja took it badly.
- Right. Normaly, her golden tears fell into the sea but this time she gathered them and has prepared a cursed mask.
- The one you're wearing?
- Yes. The mask represents the face of Freyja. In revenge, one night she went to visit Alwine and put the mask on her face. So every time Odr would come to see Alwine, he would think of her.
- Nice revenge.
- Yes. Alwine would live forever with the face of Freyja. She would die if she removes it.
- Smells like Greek tragedy.
- Excluded for offending the gods, Alwine has died half-crazed and desperate that Odr wouldn't come anymore. She committed suicide by removing the mask.
- And you? How did you get it?
- A "friend" found the mask in a booty we had recovered. He secretly loved my wife and thought that putting the mask on my face and removing it...
- It didn't work.
- No. Only I can remove the mask.
- Maybe Freyja too?
