And in Asgard, currently...
The three seers were in their private cave.
They frowned slightly and exchanged glances from time to time, while sensing the approach of someone who was not supposed to come near this place at this time.
The presence of that person was clear to them.
And as the person drew closer and closer to the cave...
Silence fell.
Before the person entered the cave, one of the seers said calmly:
"If you want to leave now, no one will stop you."
She paused for a moment, then added:
"But Odin will not approve of what you are doing."
Silence fell for a few moments.
The figure standing outside the cave remained silent.
Then she sighed quietly.
She did not answer.
After a few moments...
She turned around and quietly left the place.
Before she went too far, she said:
"Tell him that I sought to achieve my dream."
She paused for a moment, then continued:
"Tell him that I did not abandon him... and I did not abandon Asgard."
Then she added in a calm tone that carried a hint of sadness:
"I simply felt that it was time to leave."
Then she left.
Shortly afterward...
The figure quietly left Asgard.
She was riding a powerful and majestic winged horse, while holding a golden sword in her hand.
The horse flapped its wings powerfully, ready to fly far away from Asgard.
The figure looked at the island that was gradually growing farther away from her.
Asgard was behind her.
The place where she had lived...
And the place she had been connected to for many years.
Then she said in a low voice:
"I hope you will not be saddened by my departure, Odin."
As soon as she said that...
A small tear fell from her eye.
But she quickly wiped it away.
She did not allow herself to cry.
Then she turned her gaze forward again.
The horse beat its wings powerfully.
The winged horse took off, moving away from Asgard at great speed, while the figure remained seated on its back, holding her golden sword and looking at the path ahead.
Meanwhile, in Asgard...
Heimdall was standing atop his tower.
He had noticed the winged horse that was leaving Asgard.
His eyes widened slightly.
It was strange to him.
No one left Asgard without his knowledge.
So Heimdall raised his weapon and was about to fire his arrow to stop the winged horse.
He was supposed to prevent it from leaving Asgard.
But...
At the last moment, he received a message from the three seers.
He heard their voices clearly:
"Let her leave, Heimdall."
Heimdall stopped.
Then he continued listening.
"She is not betraying Asgard by leaving."
Heimdall remained silent for a few moments.
Then he lowered the arrow he had been about to fire.
And said respectfully:
"Your command, three seers."
Heimdall remained standing atop his tower.
He continued watching the figure as she gradually moved farther away from Asgard until she disappeared over the horizon.
Then he returned to his duty of protecting Asgard.
Heimdall did not ask about the reason for that figure's departure at this particular time.
If the three seers had allowed her to leave...
Then they must have had a reason for it.
Inside the cave...
The three seers were still in their places.
Silence lingered among them for some time.
Then one of the seers said:
"When Odin learns of her departure... what will his reaction be, sister?"
Her two sisters did not answer immediately.
Silence fell for a few moments.
Each of them was thinking about what might happen when the truth reached Odin.
Then one of them said calmly:
"We will know when he finds out, sister."
Silence returned to the cave.
Outside...
The figure had become far away from Asgard.
And inside...
The three seers knew that her departure would not pass easily once Odin learned about it.
