Tragedy-3
The peaceful village was celebrating and had positive energy surrounding it was now filled with chaos. People were running, stumbling, and yelling around trying to get to their loved ones…
BBBBBOOOOOOO!!!!
Soon another horn resounded throughout the village…
Floki hugged his mother and closed his eyes. He didn't know what happened but everyone was behaving weirdly. People were pushing each other and yelling, all of this was making him scared. So he closed his eyes and hugged his mother tightly.
He could feel from the vibrations from his mother's body that she was running as well. He didn't know where they were all running off to, but he figured anywhere is better than here.
It was then that Floki felt that his mother had slowed down. Sensing this he slowly opened his eyes, only to witness a very familiar house in front of him. It was his house. Seeing his house, he opened both of his eyes.
His mother straight away opened the door of their house and quickly went to the backyard. As she got to the backyard, she saw that their horse was not there. The small gate of their backyard was broken, which meant someone must have broken through their yard and stolen their horse.
"Where the fuck is the horse?" Floki heard his father yell.
"I don't know. Bali, what should we do?" Michele asked her husband.
"Running out in the open would be useless. Hide. I will buy you guys sometime." Bali hurridly said.
"Ba… Bali.." Michele said with a breaking voice. She was about to cry, but it was then Bali touched her cheek and hurriedly kissed her. He then kissed Floki on his forehead.
"Our family will reunite whether it is in Valhalla or Hel. I will find you." He said to both of them. And then he hurriedly ran towards the front door.
"PAPA!" Floki yelled seeing his father running away. But his mother quickly held his mouth. She then started silently crying.
Michele worked fast. She hurriedly took Floki with her. She then went to their dining room and then she flipped over the table. She accessed the false floor under the table and made Floki sit inside…
"Son. No matter what happens. Do not leave this place, do you understand me? I come and get you later. Do you understand me?" Michele said.
"Mother don't leave me…" Floki resisted. But then his mother then firmly pushed him inside and said...
"Be brave Floki. Or otherwise how the hell will you get into Valhalla? Stay here, I will come and get you okay?" she said.
"Okay," Floki said in a small voice.
"Be brave my son. And do not make a noise. Everything would be just alright." She said while patting his head.
She then closed the lid of the false floor on him. She then quickly put the table back into its place and make sure that everything was in its place. As soon as she was done, the door of her house was kicked open and some men with weapons drawn came in. They all started smiling as they saw Michele…

The hole in the ground was not very big. It was just the size for a small kid like Floki could fit in. Alone in the darkness, Floki prayed to Goddess Freya to help his parents. He also prayed to God Tyr, so that he could send his apostles to fight off the bad people invading their village. He prayed for the safety of everyone in the village as well...
Although it was very faint he could still hear what was happening outside. He could hear the screams of people now and then. He also heard that some people were in his house. They were throwing their things around. Some were laughing, he could also hear some woman's cry.
Hearing all of this, Floki was very frightened. But he didn't dare to go outside yet. All he could do at that moment was pray…
And he prayed. He prayed to every God that he could remember to save his parents and him. And eventually while praying he fell asleep….
When Floki woke up, he found himself under the false floor. It was then he remembered what had happened. He didn't know whether it was over or not, so he tried listening to what was happening. As he tried to listen he could not hear anything.
As he could hear anything he wanted to get out and check for himself, what was happening out there. But he was too afraid to go out. He then waited for an hour or two, and still, he could not hear anything. Eventually, he gave in and opened the hatch of his secret hiding place.
As he opened the hatch of his secret hiding place, he came face to face with his trashed house. The dining table that his family used for eating food was broken into pieces. Everything in the room was trashed. Floki started crying as he saw everything.
But then he heard someone walking outside his house. Fearing that the bad guys must have come back, he quickly hid inside his hiding place again. While lying under the floor, he started hearing the sound of walking coming closer to him. And soon dust particles started coming from the hatch of the floor signifying that whoever it was was now standing on the floorboard.
Floki was scared. He then quickly put his hands on his mouth so that he could not make sound…
It was then hatch of the hiding place was pulled up. And Floki was assaulted by a very very bright blue light…
