Back at the training ground of Norse Manor, a cacophony of shouting and laughter echoed as Gideon and Peredur clashed—not over swords or strategy—but over who would be the first to ride the peculiar new invention: the bicycle.
Gideon, who loved mechanics, begged Mattias to let him apprentice at his shop. And because he was Lara's brother, he allowed him to.
That day, when Lara entered the palace again to teach the members of the Swan Dance Club, he and his twin brothers went to Matthias' shop to pick up the bike. Barney, Matthias' son, had been the first to attempt a ride, but the contraption resisted his efforts, sending him tumbling into a heap. Each brother followed suit, trying—and failing—to tame the two-wheeled beast. With a mix of frustration and awe, they decided to take it home and show it to the one person who had brought it into existence.
Even General Odin and Freya were amazed at how their daughter could develop such an idea.
