Prologue

Legends about the gods always have a special theme, for example, do gods exist, or do they exist all around us?

Questions never answered and this girl...

At the majestic castle of Asgard, where the gods were having a drink to celebrate something, it was the first time in decades that the gods had gathered so much together. Especially when everyone was gathered around one person, it was an extremely beautiful and attractive young woman. In particular, she has a pair of arms that are wings and legs of a bird, she is speaking to the gods.

"I heard that The World Serpent, Jormungandr drove away the war ships."

"I've heard that too, there's been so many wars lately that it's tiring me out."

"A few days ago, the wolf Fenrir dealt with a lot of chaos in the forest, it was heard that the giants were harassing recently. Luckily no one was hurt."

"Those things are nothing compared to the magicians who are casting magic to regenerate the dead. I just hope the goddess of hell, Hel, will stop this."

"Didn't expect creatures that were prophesied to bring disaster to become people worshiped by others."

"It's all thanks to you, Havi."

Hearing her own name being said, she just used her hand to gently stroke the hair behind her long hairy ears.

"I only teach the necessary things in life, the children have a long road ahead. As a responsible person, I have to fulfill my duties"

"So Havi, do you have any plans for the future?"

"That's right, it's like finding a husband. You're so beautiful, don't you have dozens of followers? Pick one and you'll have descendants!"

Havi could only smile wryly, the gods asked more and more questions, making her confused. Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed her shoulders from behind.

"Please everyone please don't make our godmother feel awkward?"

Turning to the back was a handsome man with black hair, eyes of a beast but as shiny as black pearls.

"If anyone wants to be godmother's husband, at least defeat me."

"Fenrir!"- Havi exclaimed

"Brother, violence is not always what decides victory or defeat. It is wisdom and knowledge that determine victory or defeat"

Behind the young Fenrir was another handsome man with long blue hair, wearing a pair of glasses that looked very knowledgeable. Blue eyes like a cold-blooded creature.

"Jormurgandr! Are you going to pick a fight with your brother?"- Fenrir

"Is there a problem? Didn't expect me to have such a disabled little brother. Is the brain's nutrients all going to the muscles?" - Jormurgandr

"You two stop it, godmother doesn't like fighting"

A female voice rang out and pulled Havi away from the two men, then hugged her. It was a very attractive woman, with red hair and eyes, half so her face was covered with a gold mask.

"Ugh, Hel...."- Fenrir

"How fragile is the godmother, have you forgotten? What if you are so strong, you break her beautiful wings?" - Hel

"Of course we know that, if it weren't for Fenrir's troubles first" - Jormurgandr

Havi could only sigh as the other three argued while the gods stood behind watching the good drama.

"In the end, what did I do to make the myth go so wrong?!"- thought Havi

"Get down here now! Havi!"

"Teacher, don't scream, she's falling now!"

"Havi, don't die! You're our important historian!"

The voice of a teacher was calling to a young girl who was climbing on the railing of the museum to save the worker who was hanging in the air. She grabbed the worker's hand and pulled him inside.

"It's okay buddy, next time you have low blood sugar, please take a break."

"Thank you so much...."

When the lifeguards left, the girl was immediately scolded by her teacher for her own recklessness.

Her name is Havi, she is a very famous historian in the industry, her work is specialized in the study of Norse mythology. Therefore, she is always invited to lectures from small to large. Her dedication and passion have made many people admire, not only that, but she is also a strong person when always solving problems.

But there is one thing that makes her life a headache is...

"Havi, let's break up. I don't love you anymore"

"Huh?" - Havi

The person standing in front of her was her boyfriend, next to him was another lovely and cute girl, dressed very elegantly in the style of youth. Apparently she didn't mistakenly remember this was the female student at the school she gave a speech, she really didn't have any impression of that girl at all.

So why did her lover say he no longer loves her?

"Tell me why?" - Havi

"Isn't it obvious? You only think about work and then work really doesn't have time for me at all? Every time we go on a date, you just talk about work. That makes me sick, I want someone to spend time with me, always comfort me when I'm in trouble. Havi, from today we officially break up!!!"

"Darling, don't be angry. That will ruin your handsome face~!"

"Don't worry, let me finish my ex-girlfriend then let's go out~!"

After hearing those words, she would be sad, crying and begging her lover not to leave.

But that only happens in fairy tales or romantic movies full of drama, it doesn't matter much to her. Havi immediately took out a photo book from her briefcase and then threw it at his unpleasant face.

"Anyway, I'm already fed up with you. Before I fell in love with you, I researched you thoroughly, not only interacting with many women but also asking for money from them to gamble. Your family background is also quite good, but your education level is below average You love me just for my money, every time I go on a date I'm always the one to pay, and it's just because you're in trouble just owe money for gambling" - Havi

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving the two chickens to quarrel and slap.

Although over thirty years old, Havi has never had a single piece of pink love in her life, all because she always spends time at work. It's also true, because she always had a special connection to the legends of myths, every time she studied them, Havi focused on them.

Sometimes she has very fanciful thoughts such as if Loki's children weren't persecuted, would they become cruel? Or if it wasn't for Baldr's death, the Ragnarok war wouldn't have happened.

"Are you studying myths again? Even though you've studied it a hundred times, you still don't get bored? There are many other myths that you can study"

A cup of coffee sat on her desk, which was none other than her respected teacher, who had helped her in her career as historian.

"I think that just being good at one myth is enough" - Havi

"Looks like you just dumped your lover right? I told you, he's a lousy guy."

"Anyway, he will receive the retribution. It's too late now, why don't you go home"- Havi

"Because I saw the light from the window, I thought someone forgot to turn off the light. When I saw you, I immediately made you a cup of coffee."

"You're so thoughtful, teacher" - Havi

"Do you know, in Norse mythology there are a lot of mysteries that we haven't figured out yet. There are some details that other historians can't see."

"Mysterious?" - Havi

The teacher immediately took out a picture wrapped in plastic very carefully and gave it to her, Havi received the picture and inside it was an old parchment with a picture of an animal in the shape of a bird.

"What kind of picture is this?" - Havi

"Ho ho ho, it's not something but "who" is right"

"What? Is this a human?" - Havi

"More precisely, this is a Harpy, a kind of half-human, half-bird."

"If I remember correctly, Harpy only exists in Greek and Roman mythology. In Norse mythology Hraesvelgr a Jotunn in the form of an eagle" - Havi

"That's right, during my exploration, I stumbled across this painting in a stele. Let's see what's written on it."

She looked closely at the picture, and on it, looking closely, she saw a few runes that were almost corroded.

"Her wings are wide open... her voice is heard everywhere....sacrifice will turn to ashes....the whole world will be reborn from flames" - Havi

"This is a character that is not recorded in the history books, but there are many clues that she does exist in myths."

"And one more interesting thing, does this Harpy's name resemble anyone else?"

"H-A-V-I, Havi....my name....Maybe it's just a coincidence. The world has 7 billion people, at least 2 3 percent have this name" - Havi

So the two teachers talked for a long time about this Harpy's identity, until it was late, the teacher left first and Havi cleaned up the documents before leaving. In her hand, she holds a painting to bring back for further study.

She roamed alone in the museum to admire, although she had seen a lot, Havi felt that all fatigue after a working day had disappeared. What impressed her the most was a stele with ancient runes, although it had been worn out for a long time, it was thanks to research that Havi restored the runes on it.

From her book bag she took out a piece of paper, something fell from the bag, Havi immediately picked it up and realized it was a necklace. She hasn't seen this gift for a long time, this is the necklace her parents gave her when she entered high school, it's engraved with a tree, and the inside of the necklace is engraved with words.

"Family Forever"

But she could not be happy, three days after her birthday, suddenly heard terrible news. Her parents passed away while exploring the mountains, since then Havi has only immersed herself in studies and work. She could not find herself a normal life like many other girls.

Anyway, she hadn't worn the necklace in a long time, so Havi put it on.

Returning to her unfinished business, she unfolded the paper that contained the rune languages she had recovered from the stele.

"Born from two different extremes....red flame burns from the underworld....blue flame descends from heaven....when nine world stars line up in a straight line.. ...the birth of a new being that will bring the fortunes of Northern Europe"

What she didn't know was that the stars in the sky began to align in a straight line. The inscriptions on the stele immediately glowed.

Havi didn't understand what happened, papers started rolling around her. The painting immediately flew up in Havi's astonishment, the ropes immediately appeared wrapped around her body. A figure appeared in front of her, the person looked at her for a while.

"It's true you...it's true you...Havi"

"What?" - Havi

A sudden onset of sleep made her eyes heavy, Havi tried to keep herself awake as her eyes wouldn't let her.

____________

{A being encased in an icy shell, flaming feathers that melt the ice. Departed by the burning fire, reborn from the ashes, the endless cycle of samsara}

____________

Try to struggle strong, only a little more can get out of this.

A crack in the ice appeared, and a beak popped out from it. Slowly escaping the ice is a bird.

"What...just happened?"
