Chapter 2 - "The Unspeakable Truth" and the awaiting "Trial of Ember"

Both of them kept arguing about the impossible reason of why they were transferred here and for some moment, Heimdall even thought the question to himself but he later on simply agreed that it is not impossible for the son of the person who helped All-Father.

Monsieur kept asking many questions and he was almost about to explode due to anger and no patience because he had worked for almost more than 10 yrs in the earth and now after everything he had done, Monsieur won't let that slide and he demanded Heimdall to sent them both back to earth and Monsieur was about to ask another question but Heimdall interrupted.

Heimdall then further on spoke about the things which are present in this realm and many others.. and the earthly realm which Monsieur and his friend Shin kept talking about is just a part of a fragment and he kept his composure low and humble.

Although Monsieur only understood bit of the words which was spoken by Heimdall, Shin insisted that Heimdall should take the responsibility of protecting the lives of two mortals in the realm of Gods which Heimdall agreed without hesitation and Heimdall simply said that the life of Monsieur and Shin were in the hands of the vile of gods and the necessary things are already settled so Heimdall insisted them to review the lands even though they have already heard in mythology and stories but Heimdall promised them that it is very different from the stories.

Monsieur was totally unsatisfied by the manner and the conversation and he slowly muttered about the dream of his which he invested so many times....

Monsieur was about to ask another question to Heimdall but then suddenly a world-message suddenly popped up and then it started to say about something related to the system.

ALARM WARNING OF....

DURATION OF THE PORT ONLY REMAINS FOR 10 SECONDS....

Monsieur who was confused because of the invisible messages which kept coming from the place where he and Shin were standing and Shin asked about the sudden un-identified message.

Heimdall realized the message and he was looking at Monsieur and Shin in a pitiful look and then he told them that is it the important teleportation which is confirmed and it cannot be undone, Heimdall was making a exhausting face but Heimdall told them that "Time cannot wait in one place and it will continue to move further more".

Both Monsieur and Shin were confused about the riddle which Heimdall gave to them but Heimdall simply told them that they will learn everything by the adventurous experience which they will encounter.

Monsieur was shocked and he continued to question Heimdall about it but then suddenly the symbols below started to glow more and it started to spin(clock-wise) and it was ascending from the ground....

What? What are you trying to say? What do you mea... but then suddenly Monsieur was quickly interrupted by Heimdall and then he started to wish them good luck and then started to chant a spell protection to them which Shin found interesting...

"Now Warriors from the "world of humans" you might have many questions to ask me and many truths to behold but you must understand that time is essential especially for me child. But this is the end of our conversation may we meet again after another century"said Heimdall.

"BUT WAIT I HAVE MANY QUESTIONS TO AS...."

- Muspelheim's in a nutshell[1]-

SYSTEM...TRANSPORTATION COMPLETED

-System danger detected!!, extreme heat and pressure present.

-System repairing.... giving heat resistance and balance temporal aura to the human....

PROCESS COMPLETED-

-Presence of the human decreased (COMPLETED)

-System analyzing the surroundings.... (CHECKED). No further errors detected...

Monsieur was feeling extremely dizzy and then he suddenly vomited but then the vomit evaporated as soon as it touched the ground which Monsieur was shocked himself and then he begin to look straight and he observed the area.

Monsieur questioned about the whereabouts of Shin and Heimdall but he saw no one except the vast lava and creatures which are seen in fairy tales and cartoons.

"No no no...., this can't be true", How am I supposed to adjust to a place like this! It's ridiculous.

The system then quickly alerted Monsieur about the location and it had detected two fire giants who were approaching at the place where Monsieur was present. Monsieur quickly sneaked past the place and he was hiding behind a big rock and he was terrified and the system was supporting him and the system was also calculating datas and it was trying to hide Monsieur's temporal aura.

Quick note: The reason why the system was hiding Monsieur's aura despite his presence was hidden is because in Norse reality, Temporal aura defines a living and distinguishes the dead and the temporality of each beings are vastly different. Even though it is same and the dead was once the living and the living was once the dead in the past life.

"Brother, I think i heard something over there" said fire giant (1).

"Oh, come on stop joking around brother, there possibly couldn't be a presence at this place, Afterall if there was. They would die due to some lowly disease or symptoms" proposed fire giant (2).

*Monsieur quietly evades the two fire giants and heads to nearest cave*.

Monsieur was breathing extremely heavily and his heart was like as if a knife had stabbed right at the center of his body. Monsieur kept saying "SURVIVE" repeatedly without any break and he was panting heavily even though he was staying inside a cave for half an hour.

"How am I supposed to survive in a place like this, neither there is soil nor water. Heimdall... What were you thinking!" said Monsieur.

-From a different realm watches a person's presence-

-He watches to the human as he ventures through the region of fire and nothingness-

The guard who secondarily helps Heimdall asks Heimdall in a formal tone and he questions Heimdall if it was to much and he further more questions whether a mortal can adapt to the situation like this. Heimdall simply laughed and told the guard about the unseen destiny and told the guard that he already planned everything from the start because he knows what is correct and what is wrong . Heimdall laughing says that after all...., He is Heimdall.[2]

Heimdall further on states that "Petting a new seed is not as good as making the seed grow itself through the experience of harsh reality and difficulties".

Meanwhile Monsieur...

Monsieur then comes up with a idea of making a sword out of literal rock because Monsieur had enough of this and he simply stated that doing something is not as worse as doing nothing, So he begins to slam the medium rock which almost had a sword-like appearance and he continued to slam it on rocks and he made sure to slam the rock in the exact position to not cause any unnecessary sounds because if he is found then he is 'DEAD'.

While polishing a rock he heard a small sound from outside which he saw from a hole and he saw a monster which looked lizard-like[3].The lizard then goes off which Monsieur is extremely anxious so he slowly observed the creature going off which Monsieur didn't let go and he forcefully polished roughly which made a medium cut in his right finger which Monsieur didn't notice due to his starving desire...

"Starvation leads to unconscious desire which puts someone into a world of senselessness"

He followed that beast slowly and stealthy, The creature was almost very close but not as close to be noticed by someone. But when the creature slowly roared.... Monsieur felt the disgusting smell and he almost passed out, but then he was lost in a sudden thoughts which was for 1 second but even for one second, it seemed like the motion of his body is not reacting.

Why?

It is because of the ancestral-sense of survival and the perk of human beings which kicked in Monsieur's mind and then he held his small dagger and then randomly attacked the creatures from the back which led to the creature biting off his left foot but Monsieur didn't gave up although his hands felt like it would snap out and break into pieces....

But Monsieur didn't drop his grip from the dagger because for Monsieur, 

"It was now or never!" . -Plus if he let go of it then he's dead-

The beast roared in agony and the acidic blood which was spitting out of it's back slowly started to burn Monsieur's skin in his hand which Monsieur resisted and controlled even though it hurted very bad. Monsieur then finally twisted the dagger in almost 180-rotation and then the beast slowly crippled and then it lost its control over the feet and then it fell of and then it died in a sudden. Monsieur then drops his dagger and then.....

"Monsieur sat there, motionless at first — broken, pale, eyes hollow. Then, something inside him twisted. His lips parted, but no sound came. It wasn't joy, nor sorrow… it was the laughter of a man who had face the unimaginable. A laugh that didn't need a voice to echo — it was the kind that curdled the air around him, that made even silence recoil".

"His shoulders trembled once, then again, as if the universe wants him to face the next level of mockery and the dark reality itself through his own body and he felt all that pain in his hands, and the leg which showed half bone which the beast swiftly ate...."

"And though nothing escaped his throat, you could feel the laughter — a cruel, hollow thing — crawling beneath the skin, whispering of despair, and of a destiny that could no longer be undone"

Monsieur quietly sat down pale which Heimdall saw those eyes and told his inner self that it is the lesson which almost all the gods desire, "The Experience Which Can Change A Person".

Monsieur falls to the ground harshly which injured his forehead. But he stood up and then he harshly and incompletely tried to butcher the beast.[4]

The butchering was rough was incomplete but Monsieur in a motionless state continued to butcher and in front Monsieur, his face was pale and his eyes had to consciousness....

The guard questions one thing to Heimdall which he can't get. Heimdall tells him to question freely and then the guard asks Heimdall about the way Monsieur killed the beast which Heimdall told the guard that it was a human hunting skill which Monsieur developed in the mortal realm. Heimdall further then stats that the stabs which Monsieur made were not just random stabs but it was in fact accurately done.

The guard does not understand what Heimdall clearly said so Heimdall brings a paper where he write the things which Monsieur demonstrated right in front-

"Heart stone, Nape of Silence, Bone Seam, Nodus, Moonlace, Lament Point, Soul-Tether Knot, Sunspot, Spineflower, Echo Well"

Heimdall gives the paper where he wrote the things and the guard seemed confused by looking at it but Heimdall stops his questions and then tells him to go and ask a doctor/healer about the things said there, the guard wants to ask another question but then suddenly Heimdall changes his tone and then tells the guard that you have a duty to fulfill and the guard suddenly gets his change of attitude and then asks for forgiveness and then leaves the place.

Heimdall calls for the guard who was going behind and then the guard looks back at Heimdall and then Heimall simply tells the guard that Monsieur's presence was not noticed[5] so that is also the main reason why he was able to slay the beast. The guard was shocked and wanted to ask question but then he realizes his state and then kindly thanks Heimdall and then heads off the other direction. Afterwards Heimdall looks front and then slowly mummers-"It's almost complete".

Some guards quietly muttered outside about Monsieur and then told each other about the nature of that human being. But then suddenly one said that he is of course a hybrid so it is expected. The guards were laughing a seconds ago but after hearing hybrid they all froze and then questioned at the direction and then asked "hybrid?"...

The guard asked about it and of what hybrid and then the other guard then said of a God.

They were drinking and pouring wine while it was dripping outside the cup and then they were all silenced. the guard then further on stated that Heimdall travelled with a god in his past time and the god was a female who was married with a mortal human being which Heimdall didn't agree but the god still married the man and then she travelled through many realms..

All of the guards were hearing silently and then nodding their head but then suddenly they realize that the god which he is talking right now is the mother of Monsieur!

-MONSIEUR's MOTHER WAS A FRIEND OF HEIMDALL!!!?????-
