When they made it to the top of the mountain they spotted a dragon trying to get at sindri

Atreus: it's sindri!

Atreus begins to run forward but leonidas stops him bye grabbing his arm

Leonidas: hold on, we need a plan first

Atreus: well, can we kill something that big?

Mimir: if you can kill a valkryie, I'm sure you lads can kill a dragon

Leonidas: exactly, now if we can just catch it off balance then we'll have a high chance at killing

Atreus: I can distract it

Leonidas nods as he gives him instructions

Leonidas: break right, find an angle and wait for my call

Atreus nods as he runs towards sindri getting the dragons attention

Atreus: hey ugly, over here!

Leonidas then unhooks his axe from his back as he uses his speed running on the side of the mountain walls then summoning his wings and landing on top of the dragons head stabbing his axe into its skull, Leonidas then jumps of it's head landing next to Atreus, Atreus begins to aim an arrow but the dragon breathes in pulling the brothers towards it mouth but Leonidas pushes Atreus out the way as Leonidas ends up inside the dragons mouth

the dragon attempts to chomp on Leonidas but using his strength he lifts the dragons mouth up and begins to slash and hack inside the dragons mouth, tearing up it's gums and hacking at it's tongue, the dragon begins to fly into the air, to the other side of the mountain leonidas then hacks the dragons tongue once more hopping out of its mouth, Leonidas then spots Atreus and sindri on a nearby bridge and signals for them to run

Leonidas then summons a bolt of electricity and throws it at the dragon electrifying it, Leonidas then summons a large tsunami of water covering the dragon and freezing over it temporarily trapping it, Leonidas then looks around for any ideas, until he notices an abandoned mining crane above the dragon

Leonidas: Atreus, be ready to lower that crane on my mark

Atreus: but, I don't know how this thing works

Leonidas: then shoot it off, just be ready when I give my mark

Leonidas the starts doing some damage to the dragon from electrifying it to burning it to freezing it, he was able to bust it up to a vulnerable state, Leonidas then calls out to Atreus for the signal

Leonidas: NOW!!

Atreus shoots the rope attached to the crane as it falls above the dragon, Leonidas then summons his wings as he flys towards the crane grabbing one end of it and stabbing it into the dragons neck, Leonidas then hops to the otherside of the crane and pushes it forward causing the dragon to get stabbed in the neck by a red sharp crystal

the dragon screeches in pain as it pulls from the crystal braking it causing a large piece to get stuck into its neck, leonidas then flys into the crystal shoving it further into its neck, Leonidas then reaches his hand into the sky as yellow lightning strikes his hand creating a large lightning bolt, leonidas throws it at the crystal causing it to explode destroying the dragons neck completely, Leonidas then lands onto the ground as the dragons head falls towards Leonidas with its mouth open, the dragon lands onto the ground with Leonidas standing between it's open mouth, Leonidas turns around cracking his neck as Atreus runs up to him

Atreus: wow, we actually did it

Mimir: indeed you did lads, indeed you did

Sindri then approaches the two

Atreus: and you

Atreus walks up to sindri but he backs up

Sindri: but-but- nobody's killed a dragon for hundreds of years, not since the grand culling of the wyrms, and unless I'm mistaken you did all that, for me

Leonidas: of course we did, what did you want us to just let you get chewed up by a dragon?

Sindri gags at the thought but shakes it off

Sindri: it doesn't matter now, but you saved me and that deserves compensation young man

Sindri then reaches into his bag pulling out a stack of green arrows and handing them to Atreus

Atreus: what are these?

Sindri: braided mistletoe arrows, straighter than Heimdall and perfectly weighted

Atreus: oh, thanks?

Sindri: oh, okay... Hold on uhm.. ooh not that

Sindri says reaching into his bag, searching for something to give to leonidas

Atreus: so, what were you doing up here all by yourself?

Sindri: oh, brok sent me up here to grab some materials sense we were running low, which I told him to do by himself like a week ago but no he has to send me up here where it's filled with a bunch of disgusting slimey mons- ahh

Sindri was cut off when he pulls out a living fish from his bag and drops it to the floor

Sindri: burn that

Leonidas: we really need to be getting home sindri

Leonidas says as the brothers begin to leave but sindri runs Infront of them

Sindri: no no wait, I have a better idea

Leonidas: what?

Sindri: I just need a tooth from that dragon

Leonidas looks back as he heads towards one of the dragons teeth and unhooks his axe from his back and begins to chop one of the teeth off while sindri just gags in the back, Leonidas pulls the tooth out as he goes to hand it to sindri

Sindri: yeah, I'm not touching that, just hold it out

Leonidas does as told and hands it out, while sindri grabs a handful of golden dust from his bag and blows it onto the tooth

Sindri: now, run that along the string of you're brothers bow

Leonidas at the tooth then at sindri confused

Sindri: just humor me

Leonidas turns around and asks Atreus for his bow, Atreus hands him his bow as he brushes the tooth against the string, electricity begins to dance along the string, Atreus grabs an arrow and shoots at a red crystal covering a passage that leads to an ygdrasill door

Sindri: there you go now you boys should probably head home, it's getting kinda late out

Leonidas: you gonna be okay?

Sindri: oh yeah, I'll be fine just gotta grab the last set of those materials and I'm all good

The brothers nod as they enter the portal heading back home
