Chapter 189: Smasher of Stone, Part 2
Note: You can read the author's note at the end of the chapter for insight on this dream sequence and the one in chapter: Heart to Hearth, Part 2
---
I woke up lying on a slab of stone inside a place that had, until tonight, been considered a place of holy worship for Freya, goddess of love and battle.
My hands were tied. So were my feet. They bound me so tightly that I could barely move my body to struggle.
"Hel, Ravena, Knull," they chanted around me. "Hel, Ravena, Knull."
My head, the only part of me that I could move freely, glanced sideways—and there he was. Lorias Löwenthal, my new father-in-law, with that fanatical glint in his eyes that was reflected in the faces around him.
Yeah, this version of Lorias was certainly different from the bright elf I'd been hanging out with on the realm of Peris.
"Banvænn," they cried.
It was elvish for something like 'mortality' or being close to the point of death.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
GD_Cruz
GD_Cruz A lot of readers have been asking about a discrepancy in the chapter Heart to Hearth, Part 2, and the next chapter, the Good Die Young, Part 1, about how Will didn't get a save point after sleeping long enough to have a nightmare. This was my mistake—I actually posted a scrubbed version of Heart to Hearth, Part 2 that still had the dream sequence in it. In the actually approved chapter, Will sleeps for only a minute before he hears screaming. I can't change it anymore as Webnovel won't allow me to edit a chapter for more/less than 100 words, so I edited The Good Die Young, Part 1 instead to explain how brief his sleep was. This new version of the nightmare sequence is added here because this should've been the right chapter for it. I changed it to reflect the current relationship between Will and Lorias. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks.
