An Alliance Like Never Before (3)

Within mere hours, Muspelheim was thrown into chaos. The fire giants were overwhelming the warriors and valkyries from Valhalla. But even then, it was the giants who were being pushed back. 

Unlike the giants, the warriors from Valhalla had already died once. Thus they did not care about dying again. In other words, they were fearless. However, the same wasn't true for the giants. They were scared of dying in their homeworld. 

Unlike the other giants, when fire giants died, they became one with their planet. They became a part of the eternal flame. However, it wasn't anything that filled them with pride. As they wouldn't truly be dead. 

Their souls would become fuel to keep the planet burning and cause them eternal pain and misery. This was the reason why the giants didn't want to die in Muspelheim. None of the gods was aware of this fact simply because giants weren't foolish enough to reveal such a huge weakness to them.
