Nott looked at Aul and Yord, then smiled as he continued walking inside the dark tunnel.
And without saying a word, he reached into his clothes and pulled out a small iron box.
Yord almost stopped walking and looked at the box with great interest.
As for Nott, he raised the box in front of them and said with a confident smile:
"I took the seed."
As soon as Aul and Yord heard this, their eyes widened.
Yord quickly approached the box and reached her hand towards it, trying to open it to see what was inside.
But Nott stopped her immediately.
And said seriously:
"Don't do that."
Yord looked at him in surprise.
So Nott continued:
"If you open the box, the dark elves or the elves might be able to find us."
Then he raised the box slightly and added:
"This box suppresses the seed's aura and hides its presence. So do not open it, no matter what."
Aul stared at the box for a few moments, then smiled as if he had realized something.
And said:
"Hmm... This was made by Volund, wasn't it?"
He looked at the box with interest, then added:
"Volund truly makes wonderful items... But why did you bring this box with you? Is it a coincidence?"
Nott laughed sarcastically, then said with obvious pride:
"No, no... It is genius, my brother. I am a genius!"
Yord looked at him silently for a few moments, then said in a sarcastic tone:
"You are an arrogant fool."
Nott looked at her, but he paid no attention to her words.
And at that moment, Aul reached out his hand and took the box from Nott.
And said calmly:
"I will protect the box during our return to the continent of Mira."
Neither Nott nor Yord objected.
They let him carry the box, then the three of them continued walking inside the tunnel, moving further and further away from the kingdom of the dark elves.
They were talking among themselves about the events that happened in that city, about the explosion that destroyed the palace, and about the chaos they had caused, while they were trying to make it out of the continent of Mira before the dark elf forces could catch up to them.
But...
In another place, far away from Nott, Aul,Yord,
and the tunnel they were walking in...
Something completely different was happening.
In Asgard...
Heimdall stood atop his tower, watching the vast expanse around him.
He was looking at the horizon with eagerness and joy, as if he had been waiting for something for a long time.
And suddenly...
A smile appeared on his face.
And he said:
"They have finally come."
Heimdall kept watching the horizon for a few moments, then added:
"They managed to arrive safely."
And at the very moment he said that...
A spiritual message reached him.
His expression changed slightly when he recognized its source.
The message was from the Seers.
Their voice came to him through their spiritual power:
"You must quickly help those who have come, Heimdall."
Heimdall did not hesitate for a single moment.
As soon as he heard the words of the Seers, he quickly left his tower, heading to help the arrivals.
He knew that their arrival was something of the utmost importance.
And in the cave where the Seers live...
The three Seers looked at each other after sending the message to Heimdall.
Silence prevailed for a few moments.
Then one of them said:
"They have finally come."
Another nodded her head, and said:
"Yes... They have arrived."
Then the third looked at them and said calmly:
"We no longer have to worry about protecting Asgard anymore."
