Chapter 98: The Battle During the Convergence
Third Person P.O.V.
Loki guides Eidolon's group through the hidden paths and shortcuts to Svartalfheim. They went through narrow cracks in the mountains, entered waterfalls, dove into lakes to find secret caves, and even moved parts of the terrain to reveal other hidden passageways.
"There's more, but this one has just the right size…" Loki explains with an I-know-all tone "It's said that some passages are so big that entire armies can pass through, but many are destroyed completely or destroyed from the books after the wars. So nowadays you use Yggdrasil or you use a ship."
"..." No one is interested in engaging in a conversation with the God of Lies.
Eidolon, for his part, uses the All-Seeing Eyes of God all the time to check the path ahead and their surroundings, cautious about any trick that Loki can pull.
Finally, after going through a very dark cave, they emerge in a slightly brighter but still dark world.
"I present to you all… Svartalfheim!" Loki opens his arms with great fanfare "Not that is that impressive." But then he lowers his arms like he is disappointed.
The place is… dull. For a lack of a better world. It's dark too… Everything seems to be one or two shades darker than normal. The sky, even if is seemingly daytime, looks like a storm is coming with its grey horizon. The ground is rocky and the few forests have dark trees. Even the water running down some waterfalls and rivers is darker.
It's a gray world. Worse than this probably only Helheim, the Realf of the Dead.
