Brother! There you are! ...And who is this?

I lost my mother and father...was chased out of the castle...forced to dig through garbage to survive...

But what is this? What are you up to? Did you forget your orders were to return with the summoner? Or did you simply decide you would rather picnic with the enemy army?

...Urk!

Does this attempt seem any more likely to succeed? I'd rather not have to clean up corpses again.

Brother, try to calm yourself! You mustn't try to force your memories to return.

But what if those Heroes who were summoned away to Askr reveal our plans to invade?

Hurry up. I've received reports that Nótt, Dagr, and the Askran rabble will be arriving shortly behind me.

Understood.

Now what? What’s happening?!

Your Majesty, I have returned! ...King Fáfnir? ...Brother?

Huh? No. This is unnecessary.

Your Majesty, I have returned! ...King Fáfnir? ...Brother?

The Heroes you summoned have all disappeared... What was that light?

Leave it to me.

Damn it. You may have forced my retreat for now... But the sage's forest lies ahead. You will not pass what awaits you so easily.

You lot... Always prying, digging into others' affairs. I'll show you where you belong! Beneath my heel!

Understood.

No! Fáfnir...

...You have a point. Then we have an excuse to exercise our cruelty! We can kill and conquer at whim!

But then...then Fáfnir came... And he saved me... I knew that...if he was king...I could be happy...and I would never have to worry again...

My name is Ótr, brother of King Fáfnir of Niðavellir. I am nothing more than that.

This is one of the gifts of the Crown of the Dvergar. It possesses any who wear it—any who it judges unworthy.

This experiment of yours, trying to recreate Askr's divine weapon, Breidablik...

So, I was born and raised in the castle.

Askr's Order of Heroes... Our usual methods won't be enough to deal with them. But I won't give up.

Just go! Leave us! You and all your little friends. Leave this kingdom now!

Oh, shut up! We've no time for this! Just do it already.

I am Ótr, King Fáfnir's brother.

...Have you not been listening? Fáfnir is not going anywhere!

Will you wait until then, my beautiful bride-to-be? For me?

...What? Did you go inside?

The troops we sent to Askr were defeated at the border, sire...and our sister Reginn got herself captured.

B-but, Brother, what about Embla?!

Now what? What’s happening?!

If my brother hadn't found me, I wouldn't be here now. He is everything to me.

Those two are completely out of control! At this rate, it won’t be only the forest they wreak havoc on but all of Niðavellir!

Leave it to me

He was summoned during one of Eitri's experiments.

I killed your parents.

Damn that Nótt... She not only fails at the simple task I set out for her, she betrays me as well?!

I am Ótr, King Fáfnir's brother.

If I'm going to get the divine weapon Járngreipr, the weapon that destroys gates...that summoner will be key.

I was confused, but I knew it was dangerous to stay where I stood...

I already told you, did I not? No matter how much you call us your brothers, we are no longer family!

Are you all right? Is it another headache again?

I lost my mother and father...was chased out of the castle...forced to dig through garbage to survive...

Damn it. You may have forced my retreat for now... But the sage's forest lies ahead. You will not pass what awaits you so easily.

Heh... There you are, Summoner. How predictable of you.

If my brother hadn't found me, I wouldn't be here now. He is everything to me.
