[ Down From Heaven ] + [ Loki & Kait ]

“Suit yourself, my dear, I have no preference one way or the other,” he answered, watching as she idly toyed with the grass and leaves on the ground.

“No no, my dear, Helheim is what you would equate to Hell, your Hell that you’re used to. It is a very hot, volcanic world. Some of the hottest flames burn there, and ones that are sent there burn in the molten lava, breathe the noxious fumes, and live in constant fear of large beasts that roam freely for all eternity. Valhalla is quite the opposite. It is a realm that resides above Asgard in Yggdrasil. There is endless feasting in the grand halls, competitions and freedom abound. There is nothing one cannot do when granted the gift of Valhalla.”

“It is not my job to judge mortals or gods for membership of either. I too will be judged one day by the three Norns, the eternal beings of the Universe. You see, we are not so different, Kait,” he said, giving her a wink and a smirk. “Come then, I will see you home.”

^{{ ♔ } - - - - -     So it was the opposite of my interpretation. And oui, it’s just like what we believe here on Earth with just different names which my tongue can’t pronounce well.“ she chuckled after listening to his narration, standing up from her spot as the sun setting over the horizon caught her eye despite the groves of trees.}

^{"Our Hell was described by Dante to have levels, circles, and you’re sent to a certain one depending on your sins with equal punishments. Gluttons go to the third circle where they are bombarded with rain, hail and black snow while the violent are sent to the seventh, the circle of fire, and forced to swim in a boiling stream of blood. But the betrayers go to the ninth circle, the pit of Hell, with varying punishments depending on who they betrayed be it kin, country, guest, et cetera. It’s unknown whether it’s actually the way our Hell is but that’s the best we’ve got.”}

^{“So once your visit here in Midgard,” said the brunette, skipping over a fallen trunk. “ends, I suppose you’ll be going back up there. Unless you have some business here which I have no absolute idea of.” she chuckled again as she walked in the direction opposite the way towards the heart of the forest.}
