-Vanaheim-

a key!

and an old chest inside the cardboard

it was as if that old thing was always there, but it hadn't appeared before.

Agatha sniffs a little with the powder that comes out of the box.

- ow, what's in there?

-well ... it's an old chest

Atreus jumps over the barely tilted table, and looks over Agtha's shoulder.

-apparently this time we have something new to work around here.

Agtha removes the immense object from inside, and places it carefully on the table

-right, this is weird and cool at the same time. but I think if this is here, someone probably brought it, and can tell us what's inside

- wait !, but if you are going to ask Mrs. Olga about this, we will definitely take a lecture. to start with, we shouldn't even have opened the box, this is totally wrong! - Atreus turns away, as a sign of disapproval.

-right but ... what do we do with it?

the boy thinks for a moment, and is silent, then he murmurs:

-there's no other way, let's see what's inside

and right after that, take the key inside the box and hook it to the lock on the chest. With a dry snap and a click right after, the clasp opens and what was inside was ...

-a book? is that serious?

-for what it looks like, yes, but somewhat different from ordinary books. -Atreus answers, with the "book" in hand.

the surface of the cover was a strange shade of gray with brown, in the curvature of the back there were the words:

"vanaheim, scriptures of the giants"

-Vana ...

-VANAHEIM! - screams the girl, in a tone of joy

- do you know this book?

-no but ... I've heard about this place, it's Nordic.- quickly your eyes go "row by row" until you reach the top of the bookshelves

-what are you looking for? - Atreus seemed curious, both with the book and with the girl

-I read it once, that vanaheim ...

She takes her purse and opens it fiercely, until she has the contents in her hand, which in this case was a diary.

-... it was a sacred place among part of the gods of wisdom and fertility, according to the Vikings, these gods were second only to Mimir. the single wisest god of all.

Atreus was rather bored with reading the girl's notes, but his eyes never left the article in hand.

-ta but then it means that, this book is more one those annoying ones you live reading?

-yes but this is ... special, i feel

when he was going to open his mouth to say something, a person appears in the corridor, but it was too late. They wouldn't be able to hide in time from the supervisor then ...

- Good afternoon, young people, I see you already moved where you shouldn't have, right?-growls Mrs Petersen, also responsible for the library.

-Sorry lady, we didn't want to disturb you by touching this book ...

-book? hahaha don't worry, i'm just kidding, no need to disguise saying it was a book that was inside, i know very well that curiosity won over you both.

she then goes through both, and takes two white towels out of the box.

-see? they are just towels, no need to lie, now excuse me. Olga must be needing these to clean some shelves down there.

-ah yes, see you! - Agatha says goodbye

and as soon as the lady leaves, both look at each other and are in doubt of what they just saw and heard.

little did they know that all she was going for was just this, towels. they both had something very special in hand, and it seems that someone didn't want other people to see him.

-right, will you take it home or would you rather leave it here? - Question Atreus

-I'll take it home hidden, I think there must be a lot of different things in this book that I don't know yet.

she takes the object from the boy's hands and quickly hides it in the backpack, leaving just a little tip out of the zipper.

-Atreus, don't tell anyone what happened here, okay?

-no problem, nothing comes out of my mouth.

they say goodbye and Agtha walks down the corridor and reaches the stairs to the ground floor.

a dark, imperceptible shadow watched her in the distance, through the glass dome above the center of the library.

-his will was sated. - the figure grumbles, and immediately afterwards it takes flight towards the skies, disappearing mysteriously.

Agatha goes to her grandmother's house, and disappears, in the middle of the several cars that were stopped at the traffic lights on the street ...

Atreus was in danger, but not as much as Agtha, who on his back carried the portal for all possibilities.
