When Brock told him that there might be a problem with the portal, Kratos expected anything. To be in the wrong place, to get stuck in the portal space for a while, well, at the very least, not to teleport at all. But definitely not this one.

When Kratos finally made a circle and touched the glow in the form of a door, he opened his eyes and found himself not at all in the cave at Freya's house. To be honest, he had never seen such a place before.

“Head. What is this place?”Perhaps Mimir is aware of everything that is happening.

“Well, brotha, i can assure you i never was here. Interesting..”.

Exhaling irritably through his nose, Kratos considered it Midgard. Anyway, it's not like any of the other worlds he's been to. Although it's definitely hotter here, the night sky is darker than it should be, and the stars are much dimmer. Clutching the Leviathan tightly in his hand (he still wouldn't use the blades of chaos unnecessarily), he took the first step and headed straight ahead. In any case, it was his only option.

A stone path led along a strip of trees. There are lanterns nearby. Strange. There is no fire in them, just a white glow. However, he did not attach much importance to this. A man in short trousers and a bandage on his forehead ran past, turning in shock at the giant he had just passed. After walking for a while, he finally came across a figure. Their face is covered by the hood of an oversized sweatshirt, and their hand holds a rope wrapped around the neck of the dog they are leading. A cold hmm came from his chest when he finally spoke.

“You. Where are am i?" Kratos said, and the figure turned and looked at him. The face of the stranger under the hood lit up with absolute shock.
