The system began to hurriedly talk to folke, ``System sense host is in danger, System will give host temporary powers in exchange for all progress host received.` When the system didn't hear folke respond it began to panic.

It assumed that Folke was unconscious and on the verge of death currently, it began to pull the magic around Folke to temporarily pull him and the system into his mind palace time will go slowly their and allow them to talk to each other. It wanted to quickly make the exchange of power before the host died.

------------

Folke opened his eyes groggily and saw a gloved hand with metal wrist gauntlets on holding onto something tightly he slowly realized that this hand was his, behind it as a background was grass and flowers being blown by the wind in one direction.

He opened his hand and saw pink pedals inside of it, it then was picked up by the wind in the area and flew freely in loops and turns. His eyes and head followed the pink pedals and he soon realized that all around him was vegetation grass and flowers, not a tree insight though.

He also felt something graze against his forehead and cheek and a rapid thumping sound, He looked at the ground behind him, where the sound was coming from and saw what appeared to be a black robe flowing from behind him. He also soon realized that he was wearing a very long cloak that clung to his body.

He moved his hand to his head and was about to pull the hood down, when he thought against it. He felt as if it was more normal to have it on he considered it as his skin.

He then felt something soft hit his back and then it was accompanied by more soft things, each pounding his back accompanied by the soft little grunts of a girl. ``You. . . Idiot!``

He turned around to face the person who was hitting him but was met with air, he lowered his head and saw a blonde little girl of norse descent with a blue dress striking his gut. He stared at her for a while confused on where he was and who she was.

He opened his mouth but was met with an abrupt interruption from the girl. `` You're in your mind palace, don't bother asking what it is you're dying.`` The girl pulled off of him and a chair seemingly appeared out of thin air behind her.

She sat down and Folke began to speak ``What… what happened?``

``You're dying.`` She said a bit harsh and matter of factly ``You're the worst host in the world…``

``I'm dying?`` Folke looked at the little girl surprised and shouted ``You're lying. I feel ok!``

``Shut up you're more annoying in person, You ran into a guard squad with ten trained fighters and what? Expected to survive? Just because you have a little power? Just accept the fact that you're dying!`` Her expression was frustrated and her voice was almost melodical to the ear. Her words carried with the wind and resounded into Folke's ears.

``Are you a god?`` Folke looked at the tiny girl surprised, her voice sounded mature while she herself looked like a little teenager.

She pondered for a second and said ``I don't know. . . shut up! Let me help you and let this be over with.`` she crossed her legs and continued

Folke looked at her fascinated by her behavior and her clothing. She didn't look anything at all like the pictures of any of the gods and he never heard of a child god.

``I shall give you a choice.`` She continued `` Give me all progress you've gained for taking you out of death and giving you a small boost in strength temporarily controlled by the system.`` She closed her highs and held her chin high.

``Or you die like a dog in the street!`` She smiled, she knew which option he was gonna choose.

He looked at her and began to ponder, he didn't immediately choose an option; it felt as if he had grown a bit safer in this place and he could think more clearly.

``Die like a dog.`` He said after a long pause causing the girl in her seat to shoot up and looked at folke like he was a mad man. He clearly was after choosing such an option.

``What did you just say?`` She looked at him with a little bit more reverence.

``Dying Like a dog, I'm supposed to butcher the families in that village, daughters and mothers.… that's too much. We may not be directly related through blood but we all carry it, blood .To hurt any of these families is to hurt myself. I won't become any better than the bullies i've hated in my life during some times of interaction I've seen what the true human nature is .it's to help each others but it's corrupted by these unnatural men these cold blooded men that run us like swords and when we break they toss us aside. But I am not like that! I'd rather give up my life rather then become these unnatural men If given the chance I will change it all and force us all to unite!``

``That's what I like to see.`` She said slowly ``You're dying and your main concern is for others… But you're going to have loose this attitude quickly just like your gonna have to lose that stupidity of yours.``

She got up and pressed her finger in his chest.

She continued ``I know this place is affecting your mental state and all but do me a favor and live. You got no choice in the matter.`` She waved her hand in the air causing the pedals to start to flow around him in a constant flow, betraying the direction of the wind.

``Wait what are you doing?!`` He shouted at the girl and was about to run forward when the wind came and picked him up. He saw his world around him dying, the grass and flowers dying.

``Host will not remember a single thing, Don't worry I'm sure this is the best choice for you.`` She said while smiling. Her figure started to slowly blur by the pedals which started to turn faster around him ``You've also received your main quest.`` Her words lingered on for some time before he was forcibly thrown back into his world.
