#hrist and mist

[tacticalhimbo]

To fight two Valkyries in tandem is to face both the sea and the sky as they crash down as one. Their coordination in battle was unmatched. It is a pity their fealty to Odin is by choice, and not a corruption abated by their death.

— Kratos, regarding Hrist and Mist.

[countlessofvoids]

Maybe it's just my over-all obsession with the valkyries but Hrist & Mist are an outstanding bossfight!

ODIN'S VALKYRIES / THE SHIELD-MAIDENS

In Norse mythology, a Valkyrie is one of a host of female figures who choose those who may die in battle and those who may live. Selecting among half of those who die in battle (the other half go to the goddess Freya's afterlife field Fólkvangr), the Valkyries bring their chosen to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin. There, the deceased warriors become Einherjar. When the Einherjar are not preparing for the events of Ragnarök, the Valkyries bear them mead.

If a warrior declines the call of the Valkyrie and engages her in battle, they will be burnt by the intensity of the fight and be doomed to forever roam the mortal realm as a Draugr.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The Valkyries encountered in God of War have become corrupted by a curse. The first Valkyrie Kratos and Atreus successfully defeat asks for them to free her sisters from the curse. This curse was later revealed to having been cast by Odin, out of spite after Freya lost her position as the queen- her stand-in, Sigrún, states that no matter what she did, it was 'not enough' for the Allfather. The curse forces the Valkyries to remain in a physical form, which is an unnatural state to Valkyries. Prolonged stay in a physical form drives Valkyries to insanity, with the only way to free them being to destroy their physical form. Due to the danger the corrupted Valkyries posed, the Valkyrie Queen Sigrún was forced to seal away the Valkyries to prevent their insanity from causing unnecessary destruction. Because of this, the Valkyries were unable to escort the warrior dead to their rightful place in Valhalla. This led to the overflowing of dead in the realm Helheim, which contributed to the rise of Hel-Walkers in Midgard.

Hello! I love your GOW writing so so much! I think I might have read them all lmao, was wondering if I could make a request for like adult Atreus? Maybe with like a Valkyrie S/O or Jötunn S/O? It’s totally okay if you can’t! I saw you had a LOT of requests you mentioned

i looooove atreus and his character is so good so i'm happy to get a request for him like this one!! he is my sweet boy :") and thank you!! i decided to do both of these bc i loved it so much lol. atreus is around 19/20 here :)

gn!reader | no tws | join my taglist!!

adult atreus with a valkyrie and jötunn s/o

valkyrie / shield maiden

you met before ragnarök, when atreus came to asgard. it was only briefly, and you had only said a few words to each other

at that time, you were in training to become a valkyrie under hrist and mist. though, after their deaths and ragnarök, you found yourself under sigruns tutelage

she was a good teacher, and with the occasional visits from freya and other valkyries, you learned quickly and earned your place as a "shield maiden"

growing up, you loved odin. everyone did. though, after the destruction of asgard, you were happy to call yourself a shield maiden instead of a valkyrie

atreus leaves to find more of the giants, and he returns after 5-6 years. it takes him a lot longer than expected, but he missed his family— and takes it upon himself to return to midgard to see them

over the years, you had become close to atreus' father, kratos. he was a lonely man, saddened by his son's departure, and you were alone in midgard after your training finished— so you paid visits to him frequently

he had started to teach you, too. it was always helpful to know more about combat, and it helped to open your eyes in different styles

when atreus returns, you're with kratos and mimir at their home. he recognizes you, and greets you with a warm smile. he's grown up, and so have you. it feels almost.. strange

kratos is the happiest you've ever seen him. you see his eyes soften as soon as he sees him— and it's very endearing

you decide to let the two of them have their time together, and you leave. it isn't too long until atreus finds you, deciding to spend time with you, too

you have casual conversations, asking each other about how life had been since ragnarök and how his quest was going. he tells you everything, a wide smile on his face the entire time

the two of you get closer, and he realizes he has feelings for you, first. he confesses first, too. it takes a long time for him to work up the confidence, but you say you reciprocate, and it makes everything worth it

the two of you formally start your relationship a few days later, and kratos is pleased. he had approved of you— and through his years he spent with you— he had gotten to know you better than most others

if anyone was worthy of his son's affections, it was you

his father's approval warms your heart, and atreus is over the moon about it

sometimes, he'll forget that you're a valkyrie. he'll see your wings, all stretched out and beautiful, and let out a dreamy sigh

you're everything he's ever dreamed of, and he won't ever deny it

the two of you will spar sometimes, and you're pretty evenly match. though, since kratos had taught you in his absence, you saw some of his moves coming

you come from completely different cultures and backgrounds, but you're a good couple. you match each other well <3

he loves to learn about what your home was like before ragnarök— before he visited. he listens so intently, his chin rested on the palm of his hand, his eyes looking deeply into yours

he teaches you about his people, the giants. he trusts you with everything he says, revealing their secrets to you with no hesitation. you're honored, and almost shocked

atreus loves you. you have your differences, but it makes you stronger :)

jötunn

you meet because of angrboda. it's her destiny to tell him his fate, after all. he's shocked when he comes to the ironwood— he thought all of the giants were dead

he falls for you as soon as he sets his eyes on you. he doesn't say anything for a VERY long time— but he admits it to himself quickly

after the events of ragnarök, you join him on his quest to find other giants. it wasn't ever a part of your destiny that was laid out for you— but you decided to create your own

over the years, you had become close friends. you did everything together, and you realized you had begun to develop feelings for him

he confesses first. he couldn't hold his feelings back anymore, and decides that rejection would be better than being miserable for the rest of his life

though.. when you say you like him back? he's ecstatic. his heart pounding against his ribcage, and he wonders what his father would think of you

he would like you, and he does. atreus yearns for his fathers approval, so when he returns to midgard after all of those years away and tells him that you're his partner, he's happy with it

you're a good person, and he sees that. he sees the look in his son's eyes whenever he sees you— and it's a look he knows all too well. the same look he gave to faye

the two of you are a perfect match, able to balance each other out with ease. you help atreus to control his emotions, and he helps to ease your worries

you're fit together like pieces of a puzzle, and he couldn't be happier

his life is exactly where he wants it. he's helping his people and he has the most amazing person in all the realms as his partner. he can't complain

all those years you spent together means you got incredibly close. you can read him really easily, so you know whenever he's feeling upset or angry

he tells you about his mother, and how she lived her life with him and his father as a mortal woman. he tells you about everything she did for him, and that he misses her

"she would've loved you."

he says those words to you a few times throughout your relationship, and it's bittersweet. she isn't around to meet you in person, but she is there

she lives in her son's heart— and through what he shared with you— she lives in yours

he's glad he has you to understand how it feels to be a giant. you understand how scary it is to be the last of your people, the pressure that rests upon his shoulders

he's happy you do. he wouldn't be able to explain how it feels

you're a sweet couple, prioritizing each other over yourselves

he can't even begin to imaging a future without you in it <3

SPOILERS FOR GOW: Ragnarök!

I've seen fans of GOW doing analogies about the characters and other stuff in GOW. I wanted to do the same of my analysis.

Also this is kinda my first time doing an analysis.

It popped into my mind. And I know it is a late one but I had to gather my thoughts.

Gamers for their thumbnail: "Sif asks Thor to kill Atreus!!!", "Sif tells Thor to kill Kratos & Atreus", and people saying, "Sif told him to kill Atreus."

This is on my mind that I want to talk about. I've been seeing those that play GOW: Ragnarok constantly using this wording when it came to Niflheim after Atreus completed the mask with Thor.

Odin comes gleefully in, since now he has the mask complete to know the secret of the rift and more knowledge. Probably take Atreus to where the Rift is and use him as a guinea pig.

Sif arrives soon after, with Hrist & Mist to arrest Atreus, once gathering evidence with Forseti that Kratos killed Heimdall. Calling Odin out for his supposed promise of no more Aesir blood being spilled.

And after listening to Sif speak to Thor, not once had I heard the word "kill" come from her mouth. Or provoking him to kill Atreus.

Lots of people are misinterpreting her words here.

When she also tells Thor "he's not going to protect us" that applies to Odin. Odin didn't care about protecting anyone, he only cared about his thirst for knowledge & the mask.

If you eavesdrop on her and Thor's conversation. You can hear her tell Thor:

"If that was true, you would stand up to your father for once in your life."

She wanted Thor to question his loyalty to Odin by standing up to him. Wanted him to see that Odin was to blame for everything that happened. That it was no fault of Kratos & Atreus that they killed their sons. That he, Odin, caused their boys' deaths and his brothers deaths by tossing them to his problems.

The only person who is at fault for Magni and Modi's death is Odin.

But Thor really didn't listen to what Sif was really saying. Instead of listening to Sif, he turned around to blame Atreus and Kratos for everything that happened to his family especially hearing that Kratos killed his last living brother, instead of the one that caused the problems in the first place, which is Odin. It was much easier for Thor to attack Atreus than Odin.

It was difficult for Thor to stand up to Odin because of the constant abuse towards him, and he didn't know how to stand up to him until Ragnarök, he finally stood up against Odin.

I'm thinking more people are to say 'Sif told Thor to kill Atreus' is because how Sif treated Atreus when he first arrived to Asgard.

Which I don't blame her for being hostile and cold towards him.

She clearly remembers that Atreus killed Modi. You can tell by her body language when she first laid eyes on him especially her voice. She was barely containing her rage.

Imagine your son's killer comes waltzing in Asgard for 2 days, seeing the all-father treat your son's murderer as if he was someone important to him, being his errand boy, and then sleeping in your son's old room.

That cuts deep. Along with walking around comfortably in their home.

It's justified on why she's actively hostile and cold towards Atreus. Even harboring a hatred for him.

Her hatred for Atreus does dissipates, steadily.

She doesn't want Thrud to be a valkyrie, not because she's directly against it, she knows Thrud would be an amazing Valkyrie. But she doesn't want Thrud to be a valkyrie while Odin is still around since she knows she would end up on the same path like Magni and Modi.

A pawn just for the All-Father to toss at his problems.

True, she really wasn’t mother of the year to Magni & Modi but she has learned from her own mistakes, encourages Thor to stop drinking after she does, and does right for Thrud.

[mitologia-nordica]

Las valquirias son figuras emblemáticas en la mitología nórdica, conocidas como las doncellas guerreras de Odín. Su nombre significa "las que eligen a los caídos", y desempeñan un papel crucial en la batalla y en el destino de los guerreros. Las valquirias no solo deciden quién vive y quién muere en el campo de batalla, sino que también llevan a los héroes caídos al Valhalla, el salón de los muertos gloriosos en Asgard.

Historia de las Valquirias

Origen y Naturaleza

Las valquirias son hijas de Odín, el dios principal del panteón nórdico, y a veces se dice que también tienen madres mortales. Son descritas como hermosas y feroces guerreras, armadas y montadas en corceles que cabalgan por el cielo y el mar. Tienen la capacidad de volar y de aparecer en los campos de batalla para cumplir su deber.

El Papel en la Batalla

El principal deber de las valquirias es seleccionar a los guerreros más valientes que mueren en batalla y llevarlos al Valhalla. Estos guerreros, conocidos como einherjar, son recibidos con honor y se entrenan en el Valhalla para luchar junto a Odín durante el Ragnarök, la batalla final del fin del mundo. Las valquirias también sirven hidromiel a los einherjar y cuidan de ellos en el Valhalla.

Selección de los Caídos

Durante las batallas, las valquirias observan el combate y eligen a los guerreros dignos de ser llevados al Valhalla. Se cree que pueden influir en el resultado de la batalla, inclinando la balanza en favor de los guerreros que han sido elegidos por Odín. Las valquirias son a menudo representadas llevando lanzas, escudos y cascos, y montando caballos blancos.

Valhalla: El Salón de los Caídos

El Valhalla es el gran salón donde los guerreros seleccionados por las valquirias son llevados. Está situado en Asgard, el reino de los dioses, y es un lugar de gloria eterna donde los einherjar disfrutan de festines y entrenamientos diarios. Las valquirias no solo llevan a los guerreros a este lugar sagrado, sino que también los atienden y sirven en los banquetes organizados por Odín.

Mitos y Leyendas

Brynhildr: Una de las valquirias más famosas es Brynhildr (o Brunilda), cuya historia se entrelaza con la saga de Sigurd (Sigfrido). Brynhildr desobedeció una orden de Odín y fue castigada a dormir en un círculo de fuego hasta que un héroe la rescatara. Sigurd finalmente la encuentra y la despierta, pero su historia de amor es trágica y llena de traiciones.

Sigrún y Helgi Hundingsbane: Otro mito famoso involucra a la valquiria Sigrún y el héroe Helgi Hundingsbane. Sigrún guía a Helgi en la batalla y se convierte en su esposa. Su amor y lealtad simbolizan la conexión profunda entre los héroes y las valquirias.

Simbolismo y Culto

Las valquirias representan la valentía, la nobleza y el destino. En la cultura vikinga, morir en batalla y ser llevado por una valquiria al Valhalla era considerado el mayor honor. Las valquirias también simbolizan la conexión entre los mundos de los vivos y los muertos, y la creencia en la vida después de la muerte.

Curiosidades

Transformación en el Cristianismo: Con la llegada del cristianismo a Escandinavia, la percepción de las valquirias cambió y algunas veces fueron demonizadas en el folclore posterior, aunque su legado heroico perduró.

Representaciones Artísticas: Las valquirias han sido representadas en numerosas obras de arte, literatura y música. La ópera "Die Walküre" de Richard Wagner es una de las representaciones más famosas de las valquirias en la cultura moderna.

Nombres y Características: Los nombres de las valquirias a menudo reflejan sus características y roles en la batalla. Ejemplos incluyen Skuld (deuda/futuro), Hrist (temblor) y Mist (niebla).

Importancia en la Mitología Nórdica

Las valquirias son esenciales en la mitología nórdica por su papel en el ciclo de la vida y la muerte y su influencia en el destino de los guerreros. Representan el ideal vikingo de la muerte heroica y el honor en la batalla. Su presencia en los mitos y leyendas nórdicas subraya la importancia del valor, la lealtad y la preparación para la batalla final en el Ragnarök.

God of War Ragnarök (2022)

[countlessofvoids]

[the-broken-truth]

Hi! I just had another idea!!

Imagine a moment similar to when Sif confronts Thor about Odin’s negligence and Thor decides to kill Atreus.

In that moment, Sif tells Thor that they can’t let Atreus/Loki get closer to his children, but suddenly Kratos appear and tells them that they are gonna take Björn and Revna away from them. Of course Thrúd and Thor gets ready to fight but Björn doesn’t want to any of them to fight and just get out of there, but Kratos pushes harshly the Great Bear away and the boy falls and hit his head against a rock.

Angrily Thor and Thrúd begins the fight and Thor request Sif to take Björn away from there. Sif does that and she ran off with her son, of course Kratos and Atreus wanted to chase them but Thrúd and Thor stops them,

Later Björn wakes up screaming “AH! THRÚD, FATHER CAREFUL!!!” but when he realizes he’s at home and in that moment Thor and Thrúd appears a bit bloodied but saying that they just didn’t killed or got killed is because Odin stopped all the mess.

Broken Truth (Reads the ask): When Thor tried to kill Atreus, they were in Niflheim when Sif appeared and started talking to Thor about Odin and Loki. I'll have Björn come and Thrud come with her and talk to Thor when Kratos appears with the Bifrost Gateway. Now, let the words weave together.

[Location: Niflheim - After Finding The Mask Fragment]

"No! Leave him alone, I command it." Odin said as he held his hand up to stop the Valkyries from taking another step toward the Jotunn.

"You said no more Aesir blood would be spilled. You said family comes first. You don't think this is retribution for him being here? He's put your granddaughter in danger. He's made your son miserable. You know what he's done to your grandson and that he's hellbent on getting him back; you can't let that happen to Björn after everything he's done." Sif said as she gestured to Björn and Thrud, who was glaring at Loki, who was looking at The Great Bear with obsession in his eyes.

"Loki didn't kill Heimdall - his father did. Your daughter is old enough to make her own mistakes and your husband started drinking again all on his own. And one more thing - I don't care about this 'Blood Contract' that was done, this bear cub is not Aesir, nor is he my grandson. Dismissed!" Odin demanded as he walked over to the Valkyries.

Sif was silent as the All-Father walked away from her after he dismissed her concerns in order to speak to Mist and Hrist - The Valkyrie Sisters that accompanied her in order to arrest Loki for the death of Heimdall caused by the Ghost of Sparta even though the All-Father swore that there would be no more Aesir Bloodshed but his words played back in her head. She looked at her son, who looked at the All-Father with a hurt expression on his face; after all this time of serving the All-Father and being bound to him by blood, he still didn't consider the Bear Cub as his grandson. Björn looked to the frozen ground as Thrud walked over to him and placed her hand on his shoulder, making him look at her.

"You're still my brother." Thrud said as she hugged Björn, who hugged her back much to Loki's displeasure. Sif looked at Thor, who stood off to the side when his father arrived and walked over to him.

"Can't you see what's happening? He's not protecting us." Sif placed her hand on his husband's chest, "Magni. Modi. Our Boys... We used to tell them stories by the fire, do you remember? We would carve those wooden horses. We would play and laugh until the sun sank and they fell asleep in our laps. They were thrown at the All-Father's Problems like brittle knives to a mountain face. And for what? They were able to share their blood with someone they considered a brother and we love him like a son - Björn, our little bear cub. He's been through so much because of Loki and his father and he came to us. If this keeps up, He, Revna, or Thrud could be next. I don't want to lose another son or my daughters."

Thor said nothing as he slowly took Sif's smaller hand into his own and gently kissed her knuckles before he glared at Loki with his icy blue eyes. He was about to pull Mjolnir from his holster when another hand touched his, he looked at saw Björn and Thrud standing beside him - his whole family was there for him.

"Father... Please. No more fighting right now. Losing Lord Heimdall was enough and I don't want you to get hurt. The All-Father will get his mask and I'll help him see through the rift, then maybe he'll see me as his Grandson but if you attack Loki, something bad will happen. I know it." Björn begged with his eyes, Thor nodded and removed his hand from his hammer when the sound of stone gathering got everyone's attention.

A pile of rocks stood up and took the form of a doorway before a light shone through the threshold and a familiar figure walked through. The familiar marking on the man's body caused Björn's breath to get caught in his throat.

"The Ghost." Björn whispered.

"What are you doing here, Father?" Loki asked as he walked over to him with the ask in hand but Kratos just looked at Björn who shivered in fear and hid behind Thor, who took his hammer into his hand and Thrud pulled out her swords in defense position.

"Boy." Kratos called to Björn but the boy didn't move, "Come to your father, Boy. You've been with the Aesir long enough."

"No. The Aesir are my family now, I'll never come back to you or your son, Ghost of Sparta." Björn said but fear was in his words.

"You will. You and the girl will come back to us and I shall make sure you never leave the house again." The Ghost said as he pulled his Axe from his back and Loki placed the Mask on his hip and pulled his bow out with an arrow.

Björn walked from behind Thor and stood in between the two Groups with his arms out.

"No. No more fighting. It doesn't have to be like this. Loki and his father will leave and we won't have to see them again. Give me the mask, Loki." Björn said but as soon as he turned his head to face Loki and his Father, an ashy grey hand was mashed in his face and pushed him with great force, sending him flying until his head collided with the icy wall, making him blackout as his body slumped to the ground.

"Björn!" Sif said as she ran over to her son and placed his hand on his head, instantly pulling away when something wet touched her hand, it was blood. Björn's Blood.

"Sif, get our son out of here!" Thor yelled as he charged at Kratos who clashed his axe with Mjolnir. Sif called the ravens to teleport away but Loki was running at her, but Thrud got in his way, allowing Sif to get away with her injured son in her hands.

[Unknown Amount of Time Later]

“AH! THRÚD, FATHER CAREFUL!!!” Björn called out as he jumped up and held his arm out but his hand touched nothing - in fact, he wasn't in Niflheim anymore. He was in his room in Asgard. There was a bandage on his head and he looked around when the door opened, Thor along with Thrud walked in with bandages of their own.

"Father! Thrud! What happened to you?" Björn asked as he got out of bed and walked over to them.

"You took a blow to the head and you're worried about us, Little Bear Cub? How kind of you" Thrud smiled at her brother. "But to answer your question, Father fought with the Ghost again and I fought against Loki but they got away when the All-Father got in between our battle. Loki managed to get away with the mask though."

"Damn, I was hoping there was no need for a battle. Sorry, Father, Thrud." Björn looked at the ground but Thor's hand on his shoulder made him look up at him.

"It wasn't your fault, Björn. I know that you were still scared of the host and I didn't expect you to get over that fear just yet but with more training, I know that you will get through this. We'll help you." Thor smiled at his son as Björn hugged his father and Thrud joined in just to be there for her brother - she knew Björn was n fear for his life when he saw Kratos again and she was going to help her brother get over that fear soon.

[kadet-pise]

Že MCU použili ze severské mytologie vlastně jen jména je všeobecně známá pravda. Co všechno ale změnili?

Dnes se podíváme na zoubek

valkýrám

 Elitní válečnice létající na okřídlených koních. Ódinovy štítonošky, beroucí padlé vojáky do Valhally, kde je hostí a baví v posmrtném životě. Valkýry.

V MCU se o valkýrách dozvídáme málo – máme tu jednu, která po prohrané bitvě s Helou dezertuje a poddá se PTSD a alkoholismu. Víme, že Thór je obdivuje a jako malý chtěl valkýrou být (teda, než zjistil, že je to jen pro ženy). A taky víme, že jsou to silné válečnice. Ale to je vše, co nám o valkýrách MCU říká.

I všeobecné povědomí o valkýrách není tak úplně přesné. Ano, valkýry létají na okřídlených koních a berou válečníky do posmrtného života. Ale v mytologii je všechno komplikovanější. Síně pro padlé totiž na Ásgardu existují dvě. Ódinova Valhalla a potom Freyin Fólkvangr. Ódin a Freya si padlé rozdělují napůl a Freya má právo brát si mrtvé jako první. Valkýry tedy nepatří jen Ódinovi, ale svou vlastní partu má i Freya. Dá se říct, že Ódin hraje v rámci posmrtného života druhé housle.

Valkýry, krom toho, že jsou schopné válečnice, mají ještě magické pláště z bílého peří. Mýty o ženách, které se díky kusu oděvu mění na zvíře, jsou docela běžné. U valkýr je to labuť, umí se v ní proměnit a mohou pak létat po světě a pozorovat lidi. A jak už to v mýtech bývá, když jim plášť ukradnete, musí valkýra zůstat po vašem boku. Mnoho valkýr tak zůstává mezi lidmi a stává se manželkami, které při první příležitosti berou svůj plášť zpátky, prchají na Ásgard a nechávají za sebou celé rodiny.

Říká se, že valkýry mají schopnosti vědem. Vidí, kdy máte zemřít, proto je pro ně snadné pro vás přijít ve chvíli vaší smrti. Jsou schopné vidět celý váš život. Právě i proto jsou spojovány s osudem, jen oproti ostatním bytostem, které přináší smrt, je uvidíte, až když zemřete.

Marvel vs. Mytologie jsou krátké články s informacemi, které jsem našla při psaní knihy Ve větvích Yggdrasilu, která vychází začátkem roku 2023 v nakladatelství Golden Dog.

Nejedná se o vyčerpávající výčet a vzhledem k orální tradici mytologie se můžou příběhy, které znáte, lišit. Mytologie má základ ve Starší Eddě, která byla přepsána pod křesťanským drobnohledem, takže byla spousta mýtů změněna k nepoznání od pohanských tradic.

Zároveň se taky nejedná o vyčerpávající výčet komiksu, který funguje úplně jinak než MCU.

New recruits always meant one thing. More work. Einherjar always made his job just a bit more difficult. Leaving broken weapons off of his counter rather than on them. Causing the rather smaller smith to trip when his prosthetic caught onto them. Sighing heavily he looked at the weapons left and picked up the heavier ones. Placing on the to be done pile as he looked through opening for the day. Smaller weapons followed next to them. There were plenty of other weapons for training days but he knew Hrist and Mist would rather they be in working order for them to be more efficient with their training.

Hard to believe it used to be his dads job once.

Pulling crates from under the work bench he cursed under his breath. His stores of ore were running low again which meant having to go get to go outside of the wall again. Kicking the box back under the stores he dusts his hands off. Pulling off of his apron before hanging it up. His head popping out from one of the benches as he looks towards the roof where his other half popped his head back over to look down at him. "Come on bud looks like we gotta go more ore today." The dragon happily bounced happily on the roof shaking many of the hanging features as Hiccup disappeared further into the smithy. Fetching the tail fin needed to go out.

The dragons excited croons alerted him as they changed to that of someone approaching the counters. "Sorry we're closed today! Just leave what you need to be done on the counter I'll get to it!" Raising his voice the smith still hadn't emerged as the sounds of items being rearranged were heard from within. Appearing as something fell as he waved it off. With tail fin in hand the other stopped looking surprised. "Oh it's you. Our new celebrity." He teased.
