Although the death of the chief put Surtr down a lot, he didn't wanted to let such a tragedy stop his pace. His mother, Muspel, had told him many times that there must have been a reason, a meaning that he was born in this place, and held such powerful abilities.
This was a meaning that he slowly found by himself as he lived in this village, as he made bonds with people, and as he grew stronger with the twins, Mina, and Nadia. Slowly, he realized that perhaps one of such purposes was to protect this people, to protect those he loved.
To do what he couldn't do back on Earth, as his parent's lives slipped off his fingers without him being able to do a single thing… This time, with this strength, there was no way he would let these people perish.
And this morning, only after two days since the chief's death, he was almost prepared to depart into the mountain's depths, not without something he wanted to try out beforehand.
