The Second Event: Odin’s Shadow

Havi's eyes narrowed into slits, purple mana wafting as his voice grew somber.

"Don't you think you're reacting a tad too aggressively for mere suspicions? True, my name refers to Odin, like many names refer to Thor. What's so wrong with that?"

"Hmm, I wonder?" The weight of centuries permeated Merlin's voice as he continued. "A strategist who didn't share any plan or oversee the battle."

He pointed at Ragnar and the five thousand men looming in the distance like shadows.

"You saw them, yet you didn't inform anyone. Finally, there is no hero or demigod named Havi." His tone turned as somber as Havi's. "Are you going to continue, or will you drop the act?" 

As his words reverberated in the isolated space, Havi shrugged.
