Perseus POV -
Burial or whatever the ritual is. I really don't know. People rearely die in Asgard. The only one I saw die was Njord and he turned into Golden light upon his death. So I went to the girls. They all are standing together not far from me. Once the zombies attacked us all of them came together to get a piece of us. So the area of attack did not increased much.
There were not many of them. Barely five thousand. I think only a part of the population was turned into these abomination. Rest died peacefully. I turned my psychic energy to cover the entire Vanaheim. I do not feel anyone here. When I get to them Anna asked,'' Is that all of them?''
I said,'' It must be. I can't feel anymore people through my psychic energy.''
Zoe asked,'' So what do we do with the dead bodies? Because I have no idea what to do?''
Frejya said,'' We pray for them to get there place in Valahalla. And then burn there bodies.''
Frejya took the hands of her sisters and also told me join hands. Then she closed her eyes and said, '' Father, Grandfather and ancestor grant them passage to the Valhalla.''
Then I called forth the fire of red dragon and was about to burn them when Frejya screamed, '' No''
I was startled and looked at her in questioning manner. She said, '' Percy, Anna said your flame burn everything. Everything. ''
I asked confused, ''So what? We have burn them right.''
Anna said in a tone like she is explaining to a child,''Yes Percy, we have to burn them but your flame burn everything. Like bodies, soul, energy, matter and others. We were just praying to send their souls to Valhalla. If you will burn there souls then how will they go to Valhalla.''
I didn't think of that. I put away the fire and gave a embarrassed grin. I changed the subject, '' So how will we burn them?''
Anna again said,'' Percy when we are done here then you will have to find a place and practice all your powers. You have learn them and understand each of there different uses.
Percy your armor and bow carries the divinity of Sun. You can also use the fire of sun which is of purest kind. It will do, summon it. ''
She is right. In moving forward I never gave enough thought to my powers and gifts. I have not even awaken any of the longinus. I can feel the animal longinus is close to awakened it just needs little practice. I summoned my bow. I closed my eyes and tried to connect with the fire of sun.
It took a while for me to do so. I really do need practice. Then I direct that fire in the bow and call forth an arrow. This arrow is burning with fire then I wished them to turn into multiple arrows and fire it.
In the middle of the air the arrow turned into thousands of arrows and went towards all the peoples. They all caught fire and slowly slowly all there bodies turned into golden particles and scattered in the air.
Now we all sat into the middle to think what to do next. Anna is trying to analyze the fog so she can find what it is and hopefully a cure for it. Well its not going anywhere. We are just waiting and waiting. At least we have the shield around our heads and it is purifying the air so it is not harmful to sit here.
I asked zoe ,'' What do you think how long it will take for her to get this done.''
Zoe said,''If she is going to cross check with all the books in her library then it will take a while.''
I went towards them and said,'' So how will we pass the time? ''
Frejya said ," Well we are absolutely not going to do what is in your mind.? ''
I said,'' How do you know what is in my mind?''
She came close to me. She looked into my eyes with her ever changing eyes and said in a very husky voice,'' Don't forget I am the goddess of those things that are in your mind.''
I also leaned closer. My lips are touching hers and I can see her flawless skin. My god she is beautiful. I said,'' Why don't we do the things that are in my mind.''
She put a finger on my chest and pushed me backward and said,'' Not before marriage. ''
I groaned and she laughed. Her laugh is like the most beautiful voice of the nature. She is making me addicted to her.
Then we spend our time talking to each other. It was sometime after that Anna came to us and said,'' I Checked this fog and there is a good news and bad news.''
Well these two always go with each other. So I asked,'' Tell the bad news first. ''
Anna said, ''This particular fog is created by combining different kinds of dark energy into one. I think they used something like a suppresser kind of thing. All these energy were suppressed inside it and they must something rather deadly in it like the poison that was used by Ares.
So when they used that weapon all the energy which was stuck inside of it and that deadly thing came out.''
Zoe said,'' We all know that. So what is the bad news in it? ''
Anna said, ''The bad news is when all the compressed energy got out of that weapon. It not only covered the entire air of the Vanaheim but also penetrated the very nature. It is all around us. In the trees, in land, in water, in sky and rain. All around us.''
Well that is bad news. What she is saying that this foul energy had became one with the very fabric of Vanaheim that means we not only have to suck it out of here but also filter it from around us. It became a lot more difficult all of sudden.
We al looked at her. Because her face is practically screaming that she had found the solution.
Anna said," Don't be afraid the solution is the good news.''
Frejya asked,'' And what is the good news?''
Anna said, '' The good news is-
