📖 Scene — Loki's Departure and Lilith's Movements
Odin looked at Loki for a moment, then said in a calm, decisive tone: "Prepare yourself… today you will go to the continent of Mira."
Loki's eyes widened: "What? How am I supposed to reach Mira? I can't fly there… I don't have wings, nor a creature that can carry me that far, and I don't exactly want to travel there myself—"
But before he could finish his sentence…
He felt something latch onto his shoulder.
He turned quickly…
Only to see raven claws gripping him tightly.
Loki's eyes widened in shock: "You are not thinking—!"
But his words were cut off.
In a flash—
The ravens carried him away, moving at an unseen speed, pulling him out of the place.
His voice faded into the sky, reduced to distant, frustrated shouts.
Odin watched the scene, then chuckled softly and shook his head: "This is our first step beyond Asgard…"
He paused, eyes fixed on the sky: "I hope Loki does not fail in what he is about to do."
Then he raised his gaze toward the horizon of Asgard, his expression shifting slightly.
He suddenly remembered he had not informed Hades.
"Hah… he won't even notice Loki is gone… he's too busy with trivial matters."
He laughed lightly, then turned and walked away calmly, leaving Asgard behind.
Elsewhere…
At the peak of a towering mountain in the demonic continent…
Lilith had already finished informing the Demon King of everything that had happened.
After hearing the report, the Demon King immediately ordered one of the powerful rulers, along with elite demons, to head to the continent of Mira and retrieve the flower—and strike the angels if necessary.
Lilith did not hesitate.
She moved instantly and executed the orders.
She also ordered Medusa to accompany her.
Medusa appeared at the designated location on the mountain, summoned directly by Lilith.
Lilith looked at the surrounding demons, then at Medusa, and sighed silently.
She understood something clearly…
Even though Medusa obeyed orders without question…
Her true loyalty belonged only to the Demon King, not to anyone else.
Lilith thought to herself:
"I must use her quickly… before problems begin."
Then she said aloud: "I will go to the continent of Mira myself and infiltrate it."
She paused, then added: "You all stay outside its borders. If you encounter any angels… deal with them immediately."
No further explanation was needed.
Everyone understood.
Medusa nodded and said: "Very well… but are you sure you can enter and exit without being detected by the angels?"
She added more seriously: "As you said… the Dragon King's son is injured, and once he learns about the flower, he will launch a massive search operation across Mira."
Silence fell for a moment…
But Lilith did not seem worried.
Instead, she raised her gaze to the sky, her eyes glowing with cold confidence:
"The problem is not entering…"
She paused slightly, then smiled faintly: "The problem is whoever tries to stop me from leaving."
Lilith sighed softly, acknowledging that Medusa was right.
She nodded and said calmly: "Don't worry… I will handle these matters myself."
Then she added with confidence: "As for you, deal with the annoying angels."
Medusa nodded, recognizing Lilith's absolute confidence. She understood that Lilith had a method… one that would lead her straight to the flower before anyone else could interfere.
Moments later—
Lilith said: "Let's move."
In an instant—
Dark wings formed on her back and on the backs of the demons.
They shot through the sky toward Mira, cutting through the air like passing shadows.
Elsewhere…
Loki had just stepped into the continent of Mira.
He sighed, brushing off the ravens with annoyance: "Move… move… I've already arrived."
He muttered to himself: "A whole month of travel… this is exhausting."
He considered resting or delaying his mission…
But the ravens' eyes continued to follow him from above.
He sighed again: "Fine… fine… I'll start."
But the ravens did not leave.
They watched silently.
Loki exhaled and used his power, teleporting quickly to the nearest settlement.
Minutes later…
He arrived at a small village.
A strange one—its inhabitants were humanoid creatures, part human and part beast.
Loki looked at them and smirked: "This will be easy."
He raised his hand calmly…
And in an instant—
The energy of the world shifted.
Invisible waves of power spread through the village, entering the minds of its inhabitants one by one.
He controlled them effortlessly… like puppets.
Moments later…
He appeared before them.
They all froze, then dropped to their knees, emerging from their homes and gathering in the square until it was full.
In unison, they said: "Welcome… Lord Loki."
Loki smiled, pleased by the ease of it all.
Then asked calmly: "Has anyone here heard of a legendary flower?"
The villagers looked at each other in confusion: "We know nothing of it… my lord."
Silence.
Loki sighed, realizing the village was useless.
He slowly raised his hand…
And with a single release of power—
The entire village fell silent forever.
He showed no emotion, only saying quietly as he looked ahead: "Clearly… I need to dig deeper."
Then continued walking: "There must be nobles… or someone important who knows about this flower."
