Erland lifted his head up with a smile. "I will do my utmost to complete this task. But, should I fail I hope you forgive me for it."
Athena smiled. "Good. I would tell the other heirs but since you two have been involved with him the most, I directly assign it to you..." Her eyes narrowed as her sinister grin widened. "I assigned it personally to you so you must understand why I am so eager for it. All you have to do is to reveal a simple hangnail for the Metises to notice and pull apart, slowly revealing the ugly skin beneath..."
She walked back to her throne. "And make sure that no one finds out about it...After all, I cannot tarnish my name for involving myself in the peasants' matters."
Erland was back in Jotunheim.
