Leonidas Atreus and mimir we're currently sitting in their home in silence with nothing else to do

Atreus: I'm bored

Mimir: fancy a game of eye spy lads

Leonidas: I guess

Says Leonidas as he stands up to grab a drink but on his way he spots the chisel key they used on they're journey

Leonidas picks it up as he realized they're was a door in they're woods that required this key

Mimir: I spy with one little ey-

Leonidas: hey guys I think I found something we can do
______________________________________

The brothers walk along the woods with Mimir attached to Leonidas's belt, as they walk for a few minutes they come across the door, Leonidas pulls out the chisel key and stabs it into the door as it opened it revealed to be an elevator of some sort

Atreus: this was here in our woods this whole time

Leonidas: seems so, be on your guards we don't know what to expect

Mimir: including me?

Leonidas: yes, including you Mimir

They enter the elevator as Leonidas pulls the lever, they start to descend downwards, when they reach the bottom they step off of the elevator walking toward, until they spot a figure with metallic wings curled up

Mimir: a Valkyrie, imprisoned, she actually did it

Atreus: a Valkyrie, but I thought they were just spirits

Mimir: take caution lads, a Valkyrie in the flesh, I can't think of a more formidable opponent

Leonidas: I mean she's not attacking us

Atreus: does she even know we're here?

Leonidas carefully steps forward but the Valkyrie awakens spreading it's wings and drops on her feet pulling out a scythe,

Atreus: whoa, I think she's knows we're here now

Leonidas: get ready bud!

Atreus: okay, here we go!

Atreus shoots two arrows at the Valkyrie stunning it a bit, but it recovers and dashes towards Leonidas and goes for a swing, but Leonidas dodges the attack with his speed and grabs the scythe and jabbing the handle in the Valkyrie's face, then using the flame of ares to heat up the scythe and yank it from her grasp and strike her at the edge of the weapon knocking her back

Leonidas then summons his wings and dashes at the her, stabbing the scythe in her waist then putting her in a choke hold for Atreus to get a clear shot, as Atreus shoots multiple arrows at the Valkyrie, she let's out a scream and elbows Leonidas in the ribs causing him to let go then the Valkyrie grabs him by the face and drags him across the solid floor then throwing him away,

Atreus: you good?

Leonidas: yep, damn she's tough

Mimir: you need to outnumber her somehow

Leonidas: luckily for you, I can

The flames on the scythe turn purple as Leonidas slams it on the ground shattering it completely, until a group of Spartan warriors rise from the ground

Leonidas: shield wall!

The Spartans get into position, as the archers stand behind prepped as Atreus joins them, Leonidas pulls out his axe as he covers it in ice

Leonidas: charge!

The Spartans charge at the Valkyrie followed by Leonidas while the archers and atreus let loose on arrows, the Spartans push her back as she struggles to push back, Leonidas summons his wings jumping over the group then striking the Valkyrie in the face with his axe, pulling her down on her knees,

Leonidas then recalls his axe from her face and charges at her punching her in the stomach leading up to him grabbing her by the throat and slamming her down on the floor, he then steps on her back and grabs one of her wings ripping it off, then grabbing the other one repeating his actions finally killing the Valkyrie

The Spartan spirits disappears as Atreus regroups with his brother, when they caught they're breath a spirit arises from the Valkyries corpse

Gunnr: you have freed me from my corrupted form, you have my eternal gratitude but my sister's remain trapped as I was, find them free them the fate of the Valkyrie's rest on your shoulders

And at that the Valkyrie's spirit disappears, leaving the trio

Mimir: the fate of the Valkyrie's

Atreus: sounds pretty important?

Mimir: that's putting it mildly lad

Leonidas: what do you know about them Mimir?

Mimir: a fair question and yet not one easily answered, I know more than most but much of they're history is veiled in secrecy, my own experience with the Valkyrie's ends with my imprisonment

Leonidas: sounds like you're avoiding the question Mimir

Mimir: as I said brother, it's complicated, I don't know why or how they've become such wretched creatures, but perhaps if we could free more of them

Atreus: you want us to fight more of those things!?

Mimir:"the fate of the Valkyrie's" lad, a more worthy endeavour, there is not

Leonidas: well it is gonna take a while, and it is gonna be dangerous

Atreus: isn't danger our thing tho

Leonidas: I mean you're not wrong bud

Mimir: that's the spirit brothers

Leonidas: plus I think it's best we do it on the weekends, I got ua coming up

Mimir: oh right, you start next week don't you?

Leonidas: yep, alright let's go home I'm starved after that fight

The trio exits the room as they return home
