Atreus woke up soon after the bright sun rose on the beautiful blue sky.

He was rubbing his eyes, still half-asleep, when he heard Mimir speak.

"Ah, good morning lad! I hope you've slept well."

"G'morning Mimir" he responded before yawning.

"Yer ol' man left at dawn again, so hopefully he can get back home early with some meat for you two. You gotta eat if you wanna grow big and strong like yer dad!"

"Mhm... thanks for letting me know Mimir."

"No problemo sonny!" laughed the head.

Atreus went outside to get firewood to prepare his breakfast. Kratos doesn't have breakfast anymore, since he just grabs a piece of fried meat from the night before and eats it on the way to the woods, since he doesn't mind eating it cold.

He lit the fire and started gathering some berries and herbs for a soup.

He loved it's taste since it was his mother's secret-recipe soup that she taught him. He soon finished his meal and went back inside. It was very cold outside but he could bear with it, he got used to the new weather of Fimbulwinter fast.

A few hours passed by in which Atreus listened to Mimir's stories. After a while, the head noticed that the boy was looking a bit sad.

"Hey brother, what's the problem?"

Atreus glanced to the side at the head, and then looked away, putting on a little fake smile.

"Nothing."

"Oh c'mon brother, I know there's something wrong- tell me!"

"...It's just that...well, I miss.."

"You miss? Who do you miss?"

"..Father.."

"Oh, I see.."

"He's been away all the time since Fimbulwinter started, and I feel like our bonding during our adventure was for nothing...he's back to how he used to be. I wish that wouldn't have been the case."

"Well, brother...your father is away because he is hunting, hunting for himself and for you, so that means he cares for you and still loves you, you don't have to worry about it!"

Atreus sighed, getting up from his bed.

"..I should start the fire. Dad will probably be home soon."

Hello readers! I'm sorry this chapter took a long time to come out and it is also very short, but I was really busy the past two weeks. Hopefully I will have more time to put out more chapters :3
