Kratos and Atreus walked into the gate quickly, and as soon as he got to the secret home of the dwarfs so they could fix the shield that Thor broke. Kratos opened the door to see the dwarfs working away on armor, and Sindri was the first to look up from what he was doing. The building was warm, and the forges were burning brightly in the home. Atreus hadn't been here in three years due to training. Ragnarök started close to the time he was thirteen; he was now older but still needed to train more and grow up more.

Atreus was still a child wanting nothing more than to figure out who Loki was. Whom he was supposed to be, and how to stop the end of the world. Atreus felt like it was almost his job, and now, since Thor came as well as Odin, he knew to know Týr was alive. If he was out there somewhere, why would they come? He was close to finding him, and once he did, he would hopefully get all the answers he needed. Maybe he would even talk about his mother.

"Hi, there! Long time no see!" Sindri smiled as he stopped working.

"I need you to fix this," Kratos said, giving him his broken shield.

"Wow, you did a number on this, Kratos. Are you sure you don't want me to make you another sword?" Sindri asked, looking at the poor shield gifted to him by his first wife.

"Thor broke it," Atreus put in, making him freeze entirely in place.

"That fucker was in Midgard? Why the hell was he there?" Brok asked as Kratos looked down at Atreus.

"Odin wanted Atreus to stop looking for Týr; without my knowledge, he was looking for him!" He growled as Sindri put his hands up in defense.

"Father, you know them coming to our house means he's alive! We can stop Ragnarök with his help, maybe," he said as he tried to explain why he did it.

"Odin invited you to Asgard; well, aren't you special," Brok informed.

"Wait, if Thor and Odin were here... she's still out there!" Sindri panicked.

"Who is?" Atreus asked as Sindri sighed weakly.

"She is fine; if they didn't see her, I doubt they would go looking for her. Besides, she can take care of herself," Brok informed.

"But you know what she is!" Sindri whispered and yelled.

"Yeah, a pain in my ass; if you are worried, send those two to find her. You wanted her here, remember" Brok informed.

"You agreed to have her here too! She is much as mine as your responsibility," he put in.

"Who is yow needing to find?" Kratos asked, making Sindri jump a bit.

"Um, my... my daughter of sorts. I found her well, more like she found me when she was elven. I wanted to tell you about her, but you two always bring trouble, and my job was to ensure she stayed alive. Plus, you have your son, and I was not about to let him near her. I didn't know if he could control himself around her," Sindri informed.

"What? Do you have a kid here? What do you mean control myself? I wouldn't have tried to fight her or anything unless she started it," Atreus put in.

"There are other things you could have done; you are sixteen now and turning into a man. I wasn't about to have something unnecessary happen when your father's back was turned. He may have taught you control, but you still lack it," Sindri informed as Kratos glared at Sindri, knowing the other thing.
