Chapter 3 - The Virtue

"On the 3rd Dawn of Vǫxnar-Mánuðr, in the Year of Ljósleiðari."[1]

-One leap at a time-

"Dang it, it's so bitter and not sweet! I wish I could eat something tasty..." said Monsieur.

"I wonder what is Shin doing right now" questioned Monsieur.

-At a place within Jotunheim[2]-

"Augh..., That was so exhausting, wait.... where am I??" questioned Shin.

"You are in Jotunheim, child of human." proposed a Giant.

"WAIT STAY AWAY FROM ME. YOU WILL EAT ME!" said Shin threaten-ly.

"Ha.Ha.Ha! That was funny boy but no i do not intend to eat you nor wish to hurt you" said the giant.

"Wait for real? I thought giants are the types of beings who recklessly attack and eat humans without any sense" said Shin

-The Giant looks at Shin with confused and tired look...

"Grace of God., you got confused. "Said the Giant.

"I am a Giant who has a sense of thought and knowledge, and I am not like my kind. I brought you with me because of an order". Said the Giant.

"And what order?" said Shin.

"An order from Mimir[3]," said the giant.

Note: Mimir is the wise guardian of knowledge and memory, symbolizing the painful cost of true wisdom — sacrifice, suffering, and growth.

"Wait Mimir? If i am not wrong from my memory, then i heard it in my history books that Mimir is at the roots of Yggdrasil[4]. Am i wrong?" said Shin.

"Oh well that saves my time, and yes, he lives at the roots of Yggdrasil. You are quite the lucky one because Mimir wants to know about you and your friend," said the giant.

"Wait but why? "Questioned Shin.

"Well, that is information which I cannot leak any further, you should rest since your body must have suffered some injuries after that fall," said the giant.

"Wait fall? I don't remember falling," said Shin.

-The Giant gets confused and looks at Shin-

"Wait, you don't remember falling?" asks giant.

"No something's wrong... I remember that you were awake, and you were looking around, but you forgot those memories." said the giant.

"Then what's the problem? "Asks Shin.

"We are being followed...," said the giant.

"By whom???" questions Shin.

"By Loki[5]"

Note: Loki is the trickster of Norse myth—bringer of chaos, mischief, and transformation. He represents both destruction and creativity, showing that change often comes through turmoil.

-A dark gas and magic covers the surroundings...-

-Green magic starts appearing-

"Stay back human!" proposed the giant.

"Do not move nor go anywhere, otherwise it won't end good to both of us." said the giant.

"OH, HO DID NOT EXPECT TO EXPECT A GIANT HELPING A CHILD OF. A LOWLY BEING..." says Loki

"Stay back Loki it's the personal business for Mimir," said the giant.

"OOOH, THATS QUITE INTERESTING...., NOW, if I remember correctly then I have some personal business to. "said Loki.

Don't interfe-

"OH, yes yes i remember now I have some business to attain with the child of human to!" said Loki

"Business to take his memories...," said Loki.

"I suppose that cannot happen, I guess it remains a dream of yours which can't come true today." said the giant.

"Oh no no I have already planned everything from the start. You see, From the very start I have planned every detail of the story and how your story ends..." said Loki.

"Haha, you think i would fall for your trick?" said the giant.

"I am not that stupid Loki," said the giant

-I am protected by-

*Stabs the sharp knife at his chest*

"Wait.... what..." says the giant.

"Oh, I see now. I guess I was care...les....." says the giant.

-The giant dies and falls to the ground-

"Well well well... that was quite the show?! Haha" says Loki

"Well, let's finish this boring story. I am quite sick of this unworthy moment which is ruining my precious time," said Loki.

"Where is the boy? "Asks Loki.

"I don't know" replied Shin.

"Hmm... do you know his mother?" questioned Loki.

"No, I don't know his mother. His mother disappeared when he was 10 and never came back." said Shin.

"Hmm, well that was quite expected of her. "Said Loki.

"One final question, who is Monsieur?" said Shin.

"He was a friend...," said Shin.

-After that talk, Loki stabs with his knife to Shin's heart and kills him-

-Loki hides Shin's body in Abyss and clears the area like nothing ever happened there and he disappears...-

"Sir Heimdall! The boy who was with Monsieur was lost and his last location was Jotunheim. His tracks are nowhere to be found, we tried every possible way to search for it, but we can't find it!.

"Hm, nowhere to be found... I know that Asgardian technology has the power to find anything anywhere, but this sounds suspicious. But if the location is un-identified then there is only one place where it is. " said Heimdall

"And what is the place sir?" questions the guards.
