Legend of Fireman's Dimensional Journey

Atreus turned his head and looked in the direction Ashes was pointing at. Indeed... there was a piece of mural covered by cloth!Running over in a hurry, Atreus stretched out his hand and tore the fabric off the mural!

As the cloth fell, this so-called allegory that was hidden... appeared in front of Atreus and others...

A whole rock wall...only one painting tells a tragic story!On the mural, Atreus knelt down on the ground, holding in his arms... exactly Kratos who fell on the ground!

Horrible story, Kratos died, died in Atreus's arms, Atreus took two steps back in disbelief, covered his mouth and trembled all over!

He couldn't believe what he was seeing!The fable that happened to them turned out to be an allegory of his father's death in the end, and he died right in front of him and fell into his arms!

"Look~ is this the fate you want? Destiny... is like a shepherd! And you are the lambs raised by him... The shepherd stipulates when the lambs can eat grass, when they should shave, what? It's time to die! But the lambs don't know it at all, all of this is arranged by fate. Now, little lamb, you know this, what are you going to do?"

Kratos frowned and stared at Ashes, then turned his head eagerly, and looked at Atreus with concern... Ashes who had been stared at spread his hands, and said with an indifferent expression, "I'm just telling the truth ~"

"You said...all of this has been changed, right?" Atreus suddenly raised his head, looked at Mimir in Kratos' hand, and asked eagerly, "Tell me... The fable above has been changed by the presence of Ashes, has it not? That's right! My father won't die, will he!"

"I...I..." Mimir looked at the expectant Atreus, and said with some stumbles, "I...I don't know, I can only say that there is such a possibility, and I don't know what will happen in the end. After all Although the ashes have changed a bit, most of the allegories on the murals have been realized..."

Atreus's breathing gradually became heavy, and he lowered his head and paced around in a panic, muttering in a low voice, "Yes...that's right, mother asked us to come here to let us see this, to let us change All this! I must not... must not let this happen!"

Kratos glanced at the mural that fabled his own death, and went straight to the restless Atreus, stretched out his hand to hold his slightly trembling shoulder, and said seriously, "Child, calm down!"

"It says you're dead!" Atreus raised his head abruptly, looked at his father with tears in his eyes, and said in a crying voice, "I...I don't want you to die! I don't want this to happen! I ..."

"I'm still alive...I'm still alive and well, calm down."

Atreus took two deep breaths, calmed down his mood, looked at his father with a serious face and said, "I won't let you die! I..."

Having said that, Atreus turned his head, looked at Ashes seriously and asked, "Ashes, you said...you are a person who defies fate, have you succeeded?"

Ashes tilted his head with interest, looked at the extremely serious Atreus with a collapsed face, and said with a chuckle, "Does this have anything to do with you? Whether I succeed in resisting fate...does it matter? Is it possible?" Are you ready to accept your fate if I fail?"

Atreus nodded heavily, "You are right, no matter what, I will not give up, I must let my father live! I will not let him die in front of me! Never !"

Atreus' body no longer trembled, and the confusion in his eyes was replaced by firmness. Looking at such a firm Atreus, Kratos nodded slightly, patted his shoulder and stood up Said, "Let's go, we haven't fulfilled your mother's last wish..."

"Yes father, let's go!"

Ashes chuckled lightly, looked at the father and son and said calmly, "Then you go, I'll just wait for you here..."

"Me too, I won't accompany you there, I want to look at the murals here again, maybe I can get some new clues to help you..."

Kratos nodded lightly, threw the head in his hand to Ashes, and walked towards the top of the mountain step by step with his son...

After the father and son both left, Ashes looked at the head in his hands, grinned and said, "You should have discovered it too! The mural that predicted Kratos' death... The point is not at all about the father and son. indivual!"

Mimir's golden eyes blinked, and he took a deep look at Ashes, "Yes... I also found out, you are right, the point is not about them at all, but what the child spit out, that's what ...the really important thing about this mural!"

While talking, Ashes brought Mimir's head to the front of the mural, and looked at the mural above Atreus, who was holding the dead Kratos in his arms and opened his mouth to spit out things...

In the picture, the things spit out from Atreus' mouth were divided into three pieces, which turned into a snake, a wolf and a woman respectively!

And this part is what the mural really wants to express!The death of Kratos, and the pain of Atreus are insignificant above this mural...

Looking at the mural in front of him, Ashes chuckled and jokingly said, "I just want to say...the one who made these allegories probably wasn't the child's mother. If so, the layout of this painting wouldn't be like this, or... This dead giantess doesn't love their father and son at all~"

Hearing Ashes' speculation, Mimir groaned for a moment and then responded, "I prefer the former! Because if you don't love them, you won't let them bring their ashes here and discover the secrets hidden here! So Those who left these fables should be the other giants who once lived in Jotunheim, that's right!"

Ashes slowly stretched out his hand, pointing to the three things that came out of Atreus's mouth on the mural, and asked curiously, "Mimir, do you know what these things are? Why can't I understand them at all?" Ah~"

Mimir blinked helplessly, and said with a wry smile, "Although I am extremely intelligent, I don't have the ability to fable. This incident obviously hasn't happened yet. How could I know what these things represent..."

Speaking of this, Mimir suddenly turned his eyes, staring at Ashes holding his head, without saying a word...

Ashes, who noticed his gaze, frowned lightly, and said with a displeased face, "Speak quickly if you have anything to say. Although I don't like others to offend me, I don't like people who hide behind me even more!"

"Oh...then I'll ask..." Mimir sighed softly, turned his head to stare at Ashes and asked word by word, "It's still the child's problem, fate... can it really be resisted?"

Glancing at Mimir with a serious face, Ashes nodded lightly, but shook his head again and said, "I don't know...Although I have always advertised myself as a rebel against fate, who knows what I am rebelling against is Isn’t it destiny? Just like this mural, it’s just an allegory...Although most of it has become a reality, do you dare to say that this thing represents destiny?”

Mimir opened his mouth, and after a moment of silence, he sighed deeply, "Maybe you are right, I just hope that the father and son can get what they want..."

……

Ashes and Mimir were not kept waiting for too long. In a few minutes, the father and son returned to the cave where Ashes and Mimir were from the mountain path...

Looking at Ashes and Mimir standing in front of the rock wall, Atreus took a deep breath, looked at the two with a smile and said, "I kept you waiting, we are done, we can go back!"

"Oh~ it's okay, have you said goodbye to your mother? Don't leave any regrets!"

Looking at Mimir who looked at him with concern, Atreus laughed and nodded lightly, "Yes, my father and I said goodbye to my mother! There will be no regrets, and... still There are more important things waiting for us to do!"

Hearing these words, Ashes looked at Atreus with a smile on his face and said, "So...you made a decision?"

Atreus nodded heavily, looked at Ashes and said sincerely, "I remember Ashes told me that I will be a person who rebels against fate, you are right, I will indeed do so! For my father, I have to do this!"

Looking at the unwavering Atreus, Ashes took a deep breath, nodded and said solemnly, "Then you need to become stronger! Resisting fate requires more than just being firm." It's just determination~ I look forward to your performance, Atreus."

Kratos who came after him nodded lightly at Ashes, looked down at Atreus and said lightly, "Let's go, kid, you still have a lot to learn, you still have a lot of training to do, But before that, let's go home!"

On the way back, Atreus suddenly turned his head, looked at Ashes and said this...

"Ash, do you know? Atreus is the name my father gave me. He said that one of his former lieutenants called me this name, and my mother and those giants call me... Loki! To be honest, this I also like the name very much, after all, it was given to me by my mother..."

Holding the ashes of Mimir's head, he tripped over his right foot with his left foot, and fell flat on the ground at ninety degrees!Mimir's head also gurgled and rolled out!hit the mountain wall...

Atreus didn't care about the ashes that fell on the ground, and ran all the way to pick up Mimir, who was thrown to pieces. After all, if he didn't pick him up again, he might roll to the bottom of the mountain...

Holding Mimir's head, Atreus turned his head in surprise, looked at Ashes who was still on the ground and asked suspiciously, "Ash, you... what's wrong with you?"
