Helheim

“Ready?” she nodded smiling lightly as she watched me lead the way; grateful for my assistance before we began to venture into the complex my oversized body providing her with more cover as she walked through the dark corridors, “Why won’t they attack you?” “They won’t attack the dead!” I smirked, “you’re dead?” “Sort of... well I was born dead but everything still works!” she nodded before studying me spoke, “So what did you do before all this?” “I am an mercenary, I used to be the god who punished the criminals, the bad and was a great warrior... now I am helping you finding Dillion’s soul!” “I thank you for that!” “Keira would be kicking me if I didn’t help!” she laughed before nodding was met by me stopping her, I passed her the torch to hold, “What?” she spoke but holding my finger up to silence her and looking to the side drew my sword waiting as the creature charged from the corner to be met by my swing, “You see... trust me; I know this place! I lived here for a two decades and the voices now serve me, aid me. With time they’ll serve you; not work against you” she nodded as I beckoned her closer, “Where next then?” “We take the left, I’ll open the door and it will cut out all the other patrols!” she nodded before following me watched as I **** open the door before slamming it behind us, “Mum...”

“Senua, what are you on about?” “I hear mothers voice! Don’t you hear it!” “I do but that’s not her, it’s a trick!” “No, it’s mother!” “Senua listen to me! Dillion! Don’t lose focus of what you came to seek!” she nodded before turning to walk in the direction I sighed, “Look! Go forward and follow the stairs, head to the bridge; I will investigate the voice... okay?” she nodded before heading through I began to walk in the other direction.

As I expected what I was left with was guards who tried to ambush me, the voice was mocked up by Hela’s guards who spoke were put to the sword as I sighed studying the room, “This is where I lost my virginity isn’t it... funny to think we were once so close!” I slowly trudged back to the location but stop it heard the clash of metal and then a war cry and sighing I muttered drawing my sword, “All she had to do is listen!”

Senua clutched for her sword as the creature launched at her, it landed on her growling as its fangs hung from it’s mouth but as it went to bite down it was met by a charging man who knocked it off her and began to swing his sword at it. Senua pulled herself up watched how he swung his weapon at the beast not receiving any damage, Senua charged at the beast both lining up shots forcing the beast to panic as it was **** to swing endlessly until the creature fell to the ground, “Damian you’re hurt!” she spoke but wiping the blood from my chin spoke, “I’m fine!” “Please let me!” “I’m fine Senua. I told you to not venture off the path!” she nodded before holding Dillion’s skull wept, “I’m so sorry... I dropped his skull and had to retrieve it. I didn’t...I didn’t...I didn’t meant to!” she wept I nodded wiping the tears from her cheek before hugging her spoke, “It’s okay, no harm down but now you must listen to me!”she returned it before following me continued into madness.
