Valkyrie, Hel and tree of life

"How did you…."

"How did I know? Well, let's say I was once at your place." Azrael put him off, getting up from her chair.

"Looks like time is running faster than we thought. Come with me and you will get your answers." She ordered walking towards the east passing through bookshelves to another of those giant doors with gold intricate design. She opened it and entered while he followed as told.

The room was filled with darkness, and once both entered the place the door was closed itself. August was puzzled but it doesn't surprise him after all the things.

He looked around to see if he could see anything in that pitch black but nothing until he turned him up. A glowing blue light, tiny as a dot, moved closer to his eyes.

Like a firefly just with blue radiance, it came closer to August but after a moment it flew towards Azrael and sat on her palm and soon a thousand others of them followed, almost covered in their blue light.
