"Can you please tell me?" Frey asked as she owes so much to the Goddess Freyja since she was very generous to her.
"All you have to do is to go to the dimension that she is being held captive." The God Set stated.
"But mortals cannot go to divine realms without the approval of the god or goddess." Frey stated as she knows this because she was told of the rules.
"What if I tell you that your goddess might be in a place where the mortal realm and the divine realm is fused together like the spell covering the western continent?" The God Set stated which made Frey jump in surprise.
"If that was the body of the God Loki earlier or rather a clone of his body then that only means he has partially descended." Apolaki stated as he immediately knew what the God Set was talking about.
"Are you saying that my goddess is locked up in a special realm? If so, how do I go there?" Frey asked.
"A body like the one earlier was definitely made of divine flesh that has been turned mortal through powerful magical suppression. It is a clone, but the divine spirit was indeed of the God Loki. He must have sent his soul back towards the realm as I am not a god that can trap souls. If the Champion or Envoy of the Twin Gods were here, then we would have been able to torture even a divine soul.
For the way there, you already know of someone that can bring you there. Only demons can traverse through dimensions and search for specific ones. I shall give you a guide that can point you in the right direction, but you can only get there after this whole ordeal." The God Set stated as he held his hand out.
The God Set waved his hand as the blood and sand that was mixed suddenly floated. The sand and blood compressed so forcefully that it created a crystal that had a deep crimson color. He then handed this crystal towards Frey as this will be her key to that special realm.
"Thank you for giving it to me even if I have done nothing for you." Frey stated as she bowed.
"Fret not. I also needed to squeeze information out of him, but he was very adamant of not speaking. Still, I was able to ascertain that he was indeed part of the ones that released the Shadow of Apophis." The God Set stated as he saw a black jewel with a small serpent crystallized when all the sand was no more.
The God Set could detect such foreign magic in this crystal even if it was already empty in energy. The God Set could deduce that the energy present in this crystal could definitely be used to harm even a god like him. No wonder it was powerful enough to break the seal of the Shadow of Apophis.
"As a way to repay you, I shall be part of your army. Please bring me." Frey stated as she bowed towards the God Set.
The other players bowed towards him as well because they would rather be part of his army than wander the vast deserts of the western continent in search of an enemy. They might even be killed by other violent gods of the Ennead. The God Set told all of them to rise as proud warriors should not lower their heads too much.
"I shall take you all in as you wish. Fight with all your might because the lives of the people of the western continent depend on it." The God Set stated as his voice rumbled in the desert.
[You have been acknowledged by the God Set to be in his army.]
[You have gained the Blessing of the Sands buff.]
[You will not be damaged by the desert winds.]
[You will deal 10% more damage when in the desert.]
[You will have 50% more natural regeneration when in the desert.]
A huge sandstorm suddenly swept across all of them as the players could feel coming. Frey and the others were not afraid of the sandstorm because it was the God Set that summoned it. All of their bodies are suddenly swallowed but they were already gone when it settled.

"Huah!" The God Loki exclaimed as he awoke back in Asgardr.
He broke out in cold sweat as he could still feel the sands entering his body. The God Set knew what he was doing when he tortured the God Loki with divine sand. The damage he felt was very uncomfortable as it even reached his divine soul.
The God Loki stood up and rampaged all over his room as everything was destroyed. The commotion made the God Thor look at his sworn brother and checked if he was fine. The God Loki relayed all of the events but made sure to hide that he was tortured in front of mortals or else he would become a laughingstock.
"You have done the best job, brother. Preparations have been made and it will only take less than a year before our return. You can vent your anger then." The God Thor stated.
"I am still angry brother! Do you have the whip made of the Flaming Snake of Muspell? I shall whip that good for nothing traitor as one of her birds dared to look down upon me." The God Loki asked as he intended to use it on the Goddess Freyja.
"I do have it brother, but you cannot use on her brother. She has been punished enough by my father." The God Thor stated.
"Are you still keen on her changing her mind? Just because she has aided you in some of your excursions does not mean that she will be forgiven for stopping the Allfather." The God Loki stated.
"She meant well but she is only confused because she was one of the few that remained active in the mortal realm after all. Besides, you are being called in the main hall." The God Thor stated as he was able to pacify the God Loki.
