Kratos' shield smashed against the bridge of Tyr's temple. He began running towards the travel room as fast as he could. He looked up and saw Baldur's dragon crash into the travel room. He couldn't let Baldur take Atreus to Asgard, he couldn't take on all of the Aesir. Not at once anyway. He noticed even Jormungandr was watching the events unfold.

He arrived at Brok's shop but kept running. He ignored Brok as he asked "Who's activated the Bridge? Hey! I asked you a question!" Kratos threw open the door to the travel room and ran inside, however, the bridge was aleady aligning with the tower of Asgard. He could not let that happen.

Baldur saw Kratos and laughed "Too late. It's locked in!" Kratos ran up to him and slammed him against the bridge controller. However, Baldur just laughed and continued "And when the bridge opens, the full weight of Asgard will come crashing down on you." Baldur then slammed Kratos' face against the controller before saying "It's over."

However, Kratos wouldn't give up that easily and he angrily replied "Is it?" Before slamming Baldur against the controller again and throwing him down the gap between the controller and the rest of the room. With Baldur out of the way, he could finally think. He tried to come up with a way to stop the bridge, however, he could only think of one idea. Angrily, he said "So be it." Before slamming the bifrost into the controller. However, before he could do it, Baldur came back and pulled him off it.

Atreus came from the other side of the controller and pulled out his knife before shouting "Baldur!" Kratos knew Atreus would only get himself killed do before Atreus could do anything, he shouted back "No! Listen to me!" Atreus didn't listen, however and shouted back "Let me help!" Before Kratos could respond, Baldur got closer to Kratos and said "Let go of him now or i will kill him, you know i will."

Kratos managed to shake Baldur off him and slammed the Bifrost into the controller again. This time, the travel room activated and they began moving to another realm. Baldur was shocked but managed to shout "What did you do?"

Atreus and Baldur were pulled into the realm, but Kratos had to protect Atreus, so he shouted "Boy!" Before throwing himself in behind them.

They flew over a forest of some kind. Kratos reached Baldur and started ruthlessly punching him in mid-air before taking Atreus back from him. However, they hit a tree which srperated them enough for them to land apart.

Kratos stood up. He began shouting "Boy?" Hoping to get a response. Luckily, he noticed Atreus under a rock.

He threw the rock off him and grabbed his arm. "You will listen to me and not speak a word! I am yoy father and you, boy, are not yourself! You are too quick to temper. You are rash, insubordinate and out of control!" He calmed down before continuing "You will honor your mother and sbandon this path you have chosen. It is not too late."

Kratos heard a rustling in a bush nearby and made Atreus stand up. "This discussion is far from over. We are here because of you, boy. Never forget that." He then walked so he was infront of Atreus, but facing the noise in the bushes incase it lept at them. The rustling had not stopped, so he knew some kind of creature was there.

Kratos picked up his axe from his back and threw it at the bush. What he didn't expect was for a large wolf-like creature with some sort of bone mask to jump out. Kratos by instinct, summoned his axe and beheaded it. He didn't realise the neck wasn't armoured until after he'd killed it, showing how many times he had beheaded things that jumped at him.

What confused Kratos, however, was that it was almost human in shape. "Head, what was that?" Mimir still hung from his belt, even after all the fighting. "I don't know, brother. Then again, i don't even know where we are." Kratos hadn't had time to take in his surroundings. It wasn't uncommon to find himself in forests since his arrival in Midgard. Despite the freezing temperatures, trees were still abundant.

Kratos looked around. "We are no longer in any of the nine realms you spoke of." Mimir's brain was still trying to figure out where they were from his travels or from other people's tales, but found himself unsure. "No, but we'd better get out of here, fast. We don't know how many more of them will come."

As if on cue, three more of them emerged from the bushes. Atreus shot one with his light arrows and it immediately burned up. Kratos just smashed his axe into the ground, creating a frost shockwave that froze the remaining two in place. He then simply threw his axe at them and they shattered. Kratos noticed that the wolf like creatures turned to dust. This was normal for him if he killed a draugr or a troll, so these creatures must share some similarities.

Atreaus sheathed his bow "Mimir, how come my arrows burned them?"

Mimir could only guess at this point. This realm was not his are of expertise. "I don't know, laddy. Perhaps the light of Alfheim triggers some sort of reaction with the dark energy these things seem to be giving off."

Kratos sheathed his axe and raised an eyebrow "Dark energy?" Mimir knew what he was talking about now. "Aye, don't you feel it?" Kratos merely grunted. He didn't have time for this, he have to get back to Tyr's temple as soon as possible.

However, he heard a loud crash nearby, and not long after, heard a familiar voice. "Well,well. Look at what you've done. I might never get back to Asgard now, and it's all thanks to you."

Kratos turned to face Baldur. "This is your fault. You forced me to do this." Kratos unsheathed his blades of chaos and prepared to fight Baldur again. Baldur rushed Kratos and started wrestling with him, but Atreus shot him continuously in the side. This only served to anger Baldur as he caught an arrow in mid-air and threw it bqck at Atreus. Kratos used this opportunity to gran Baldur by his arm and throw him into a large nearby tree. He then picled up the tree and slammed it down on Baldur.

Bsldur threw the tree off him and at Atreus, causing Kratos to use his shield to block the attack, shattering the tree. Through the remains of the tree, Kratos charged with his shield, only for Baldur to slide under his legs and suplex him. Kratos, however, elbowed his side and grabbed his neck. He then snapped it and threw him as far as he could. He knew Baldur would be back, but this would keep him away for now.

Atreus sheathed his bow again. "What should we do now?" Kratos just looked in the distance. Mimir decided to reply for him. "Perhaps the desolation hasn't effected this realm. There could be people who could help us get back." Kratos grunted and sheathed his blades. "The compass tells me that civilisation is this way. If we encounter more enemies, be sure to use your light arrows. They seem to be very effective."

Atreus quickly replied "Yes, sir." Before they continued through the forest. Unknown to them, however, they were being watched intently by a certain Headmaster behind a screen. Soon to find them.
