It was a slightly cloudy day, and Stefan had finally made his way to the park. He had been here a little over a week and was finding his way around better now.

Currently laying down in sn open field of grass, Stefan had his face to the sky. Mirrored sunglasses were upon his face covering his icy blue eyes for good measure. Last thing he wanted was a random passerby to jump on him because of his ability.

The blondie was lost in thought over the last few days. Everything that had happened. How he ended up here and what the future held.

(In old norse) "King Hrauthung had two sons: one was called Agnar, and the other Geirröth. Agnar was ten winters old, and Geirröth eight. Once they both rowed in a boat with their fishing-gear to catch little fish; and the wind drove them out into the sea."

Stefan sang to himself gently as his surroundings slowly shift beginning to show the tale he was singing.

Altizica was off work today and for anyone else it would have probably been a very welcome occasion, not for Altizica though. If Alt wasn’t working he was sure as hell going to be bored out of his mind, and that’s exactly what was happening right now. Alt wandered the city in hopes of something to do, eventually ending up in the park.

As he was walking he heard a voice, the words he barely understood but he could still immediately identify the speech as old norse. Alt looked around to try and find where in the void that music was coming from, quickly finding its source being a boy with some rather differing surroundings than the rest of the park. Alt smirked a little and strolled down to talk to the interesting fellow. “Hey kid, what’s with the Nordic chanting?”

A voice called out, and Stefan had started to dismiss it. It wasn't until the voice mentioned nordic chanting that he realized it was directed at him. The fact that someone recognized it as Norse was impressive to him. Not many people could pin it down, especially that fast.

Sitting up from where he was laying, Stefan spotted a figure walking towards him. When he had stopped singing, the visions went away.

"Native tongue. You speak Old Norse?"

His voice was genuinely curious. It was rare to find someone that recognized it. Could this be someone from back home in Fólkvangr? Stefan didn't recognize him.

Alt made a so-so sign when asked if he spoke old Norse. “Not really I can only say a few things in the tounge. Really only know it cause I used to know a few people who spoke it. It’s unique enough to stick out in the head. Oh I forgot to introduce myself, I am Altizica, but you can simply call me Alt.” Alt moved in a little closer to shake hands with the stranger, a nearly too wide smile displayed on his face.

Altizica looked off a little in the distance after being asked the question, he was obviously thinking pretty hard about it. “Oh geez Stefan it’s been a long time...uhhhh...there were some gods....a couple valkyries.....I don’t really remember anyone else. Like I said it was a while ago.” A while ago was a big understatement, more like a couple thousand years.

Stefan caught the tone of his voice and realized that 'A while ago' meant way before Stefan was even born. The mentioning of some being Valkyries mean that he definitely had met people he knew.

"Sorry, was just trying to see if we had some common acquaintances."

It was interesting how much more he was learning about his home now that he had left it. It wasn't like things were hidden from him, just since things don't get brought up.

“That’s very understandable, can I ask what your relation to Nordic myth is then? I definitely don’t remember ever seeing you when I last encountered those from that pantheon.” Alt may not have nearly as good of a memory as Index, but Alt would never have forgotten gods that could provide worthwhile entertainment. The boy didn’t look like anyone Alt recognized so they were certainly someone who likely came around in the past thousands of years.

Yet again he was boiled down to walk his mom was, but Stefan shook it off quickly. It wasn't Alt's fault for being curious, and to be fair his mom was Freyja. It was an interesting fact of his life.

"Well....I'm the love child of a mortal man and the goddess Frejya. I am the baby of the bunch do if it's been any decent length of time, i more than likely wasn't born."

Now things were definitely started to be pieced together now that Stefan was talking about his family. “Ah Freyja, the goddess of love, that makes sense I suppose.” Altizica’s tone in his voice didn’t make it sound like he was all that impressed with Stefan’s heritage and quite honestly he really wasn’t. Gods more often than not didn’t really prove to be any actual challenge to Alt to be entertaining and the Norse were no exception.
