I knew Kur was going to be an incredibly dangerous opponent
from the moment it ripped the roof off of my Mother’s hall. You don’t attack two full-fledged gods, in
the heart of one of their domains no less, if a ragtag group of demigods can
stand against you. Which is why it didn’t
surprise me in the least that Cindy’s axe glanced off its scales without any discernible
effect. Hell, the bigger surprise was
that she was even able to connect in the first place.
And my Father may lack social graces, but he doesn’t
hesitate to throw himself straight into the thick of things when danger
arises. Perhaps that’s where I get it
from. In any event, Kur certainly didn’t
seem to expect that Vayu would be able to stop it cold like he did. Of course, a Titan Avatar of Death is never
completely without allies in the Underworld.
In Helheim, though, Mother was able to prevent us from being overwhelmed
by the reanimated tide.
In the end they were just a distraction, albeit a
potentially dangerous one. There’s only
so much that can be done against an Avatar of Death while within the underworld;
so Vayu wouldn’t be able to hold Kur back forever, probably not even for long.
Gleipnir, however, could.
Just don’t ask me how my Mother got her hands on a length of it. But that was the plan. Cindy, Claire, Ken, and Mom had all the
zombies Kur’s throwing off. Vayu
physically restrained the beast while Lexi distracted it. Meanwhile, I’d help Andrew to bind it with Gleipnir.
Sounds like the makings of quite a story, doesn’t it?
