“By all means eat!” Freyja spoke to Persephone who cautiously eating the pallet of food in front of her spoke in between mouthfuls, “Look, Zantano... I understand what you are trying to achieve here but you won’t succeed, now I can get your citizenship back and a role of your choice!” “And let endless people die for nothing than an automatic reset?!” her head dropped as he continued passionately, “I will not back down from it. I see this through whatever the result. If not to stop it now but to help stop the next cycle!” she sighed before pointing to Freyja spoke, “My last offer you come back with us and we will bring her South with us, even give her a house in the Elysium sun, your Citizenship and marriage to her, just come back with us!” “How... How dare you make decisions on my part!” Freyja bellowed punching Persephone and Zantano who immediately replied, “I have done no such thing, this is all Persephone!” Persephone nodded before being met by another punch Freyja immediately looked over to Zantano who walking away called out to him, “Zantano I didn’t mean to. I’m sorry!” “What on? oh the punch, yeah I was more concerned about my jaw breaking your hand, I just had an idea on how to kill Jormungand. I’ll tell you later!”

Both women sat in silence for a time until striking an conversation that would both interest them, “Why does Zantano seem so distant when he talks about his past?” Persephone laughed before contemplating it said, “I suppose you should know and not learn the hard way we all did. You see many people would love immortality but it’s actually a curse that you have to go through. He is cursed to live or be dead for eternity almost like Hela. You can “kill” him with an object of “Life”, a object from the life gods or fertility gods but he can’t actually die instead he wakes up after a short duration with permanent amnesia and with that everything starts a new for him even his personality; from pervious experiences he just gets angrier then before and more detached from other emotions. His skin is too thick to be killed by an normal weapon, it’s almost like solid rock so he doesn’t burn and poison has little to no effect on him” Freyja contemplated what she had been told before asking, “So he lives an new life after every “****” how many times has this happened?” Persephone started to mutter to herself before finishing the count replied, “He is technically the sixth. He died the first time when he was young after his parents abandoned him because of his anger, when I found him he had been chewed to **** by a wolf. I thought it was the end but he was “reborn”, he was later assigned to his role, after we were together. The third was his best incarnation of him was arguably the best version, Nyx still wishes they were together and I admit it he was sweeter back then, they were together for eight maybe nine decades. The forth and fifth was Artemis and Athena, it was to combat his anger and they both wanted him, they were both very short life’s because of one Zeus’ anger for their relationships and his anger, oh his anger. The sixth is his current form, however it’s been only in the last ten years where he has discovered some sort of emotions, it’s took over 2,000 years to calm him! He was with Philippa which was a bad match; okay she loved him but she brought the worst out of him. I really wish he didn’t find her... he even fought Zeus to protect her honour, honour?! She had none unless it benefited her “politically”, then came Triss...” “What is it with Triss? He doesn’t even say anything more than her name ever!” “It’s because she hurt him the most. She helped him to develop feelings and calmness, she accepted what he was and vowed to love him in ****, he allowed her to live a life so she could be with him in ****; she later returned to her ex and broke it off, Zantano’s time had expired and he had a choice of bride from an ridiculous list or lose everything and here he is... with only his weapons on him and a communication device. He has got nothing to lose helping you but everything to gain if he comes back with me now” Freyja nodded before agreeing spoke, “You should take him away then... it isn’t his fight!” “You can leave with us if you want?” Freyja shook her head before thanking her for the offer responded with, “My duty is here but take him if it means that much to you all!” she laughed before drinking her mead replied, “He won’t do that, so I guess that means I’m helping you all, even if it is only to pull him away from the end!” “Thank you!” Persephone nodded before responding halfheartedly, “One thing about Zantano that never changes, he has the wisdom of Athena but the stubbornness of Hera; when they get an idea nothing will deter them.”

“You want what?” the dwarf asked half shocked, “A giant metal chain to stop a giant animal from opening it’s mouth... it must be light enough for me to hold with it but durable” he contemplated it before laughing said, “Alright, I think I can manage it with the right resources but how big is big?” “Well the mouth is big enough to swallow a god whole!” “No problem, if we have it so it’s just under its head, more along its throat...” “It’s a serpent!” “Ahh, then I’ll get to work... I’ll sort it out with Odin later!” Zantano took the list and walking past saw Freyja with Persephone smile before questioning, “A chain really?” he shook his head before replying, “No, it’s only purpose is to hold the mouth shut so I can kill it. Take that out and we can save a couple of lives, otherwise Thor dies smashing it to **** on a hammer... Give me a location on where it is!” “It lives in the ocean around Midgard, at the bottom!” he nodded before pointing to Persephone spoke, “Find me it’s head. I will take care of the rest!” “It’s suicidal!” “I know but take him down and one big piece is missing.” “What about me?” Freyja queried and looking back Zantano stated, “You are to work with Persephone I want you to provide me location of the other targets. Tell Odin and the rest to work on destroying the Naglfar and fighting the jötunn and other giants!” “You can’t stop the winter Zantano or the trees being destroyed or the seas flooding!” “I have an idea about that, let’s destroy this snake first! Now go and work in secret. She can’t find out whatever the cost!”
