In the sky where Forn was flying with the mysterious figure, silence fell over the place after the departure of the Emperor of Mankind.
The clouds were moving slowly around them, while Forn kept watching the mysterious figure who was still wearing the black cloak that completely concealed her facial features.
Forn sighed with annoyance, then looked at her and said:
"Won't you take off the black cloak covering your face? We are alone now, there's no need for all this tension."
The mysterious figure turned to her with an annoyed look, then replied calmly:
"Hmm... You have no right to say that? You revealed yourself the very first moment you saw the Emperor. You don't know anything about secrecy."
Forn's face blushed quickly, and she felt embarrassed for a moment, then said while trying to defend herself:
"He would have discovered my identity even if I covered my face. He knows my fighting style, and he knows my aura very well."
Forn paused for a bit, then looked at the mysterious figure as if she remembered something important.
"But wait a minute..."
She approached her slightly while thinking.
"They don't know what your face looks like now that you've grown up, do they?"
Then she continued:
"Therefore, even if you show your face, they won't know who you are. So why are you doing all this?"
The mysterious figure looked at Forn in silence, and it seemed she was about to answer.
But before she could utter a single word...
The horse she was riding suddenly moved.
It happened with astonishing speed.
Before the mysterious figure could understand what was happening, the six-winged horse vanished, along with the spear it was carrying.
It vanished from the place in a single moment.
"What?!"
The mysterious figure almost fell from the sky, but she moved quickly and used her power to remain suspended in the air.
She quickly raised her head in a certain direction, then looked down in shock.
There was nothing there.
No horse...
Nor spear...
She stared into the void for moments, then said in astonishment:
"How... did the horse disappear so quickly?!"
Forn's features had also changed.
She suddenly frowned, and worry was evident in her eyes.
Then she said:
"Something must be happening with my husband."
She looked in the direction where the horse had disappeared.
"That's why it disappeared so suddenly."
Forn didn't wait any longer.
She quickly summoned her winged horse, and it appeared beside her in the sky. Then she turned to the mysterious figure and said firmly:
"Ride with me. We have to go quickly."
The mysterious figure looked at her in surprise.
Forn added:
"Odin needs us."
The mysterious figure didn't argue with her this time.
She quickly climbed up and rode behind Forn, while Forn prepared to take off.
And the next moment...
The winged horse surged forward at tremendous speed in the exact same direction where Odin's horse had vanished.
Forn was intensely focused on the path ahead, while the mysterious figure remained silent behind her, thinking about the strange disappearance that had occurred moments ago.
The disappearance of the horse was no normal matter.
But one thing was clear to them...
Something serious had happened to Odin, and they had to reach him as quickly as possible.
