Upon my trusted steed Sleipnir I climb. He feels the passion of the moment and is as eager for battle as the sacred dead.

"My friend" I say. "We have one more thing to do before we ride to meet our fate. Ride hard to Urdar and let us meet the norns!"

Sleipnir rears back and whinnies with approval. With a gallop we are off! As we ride to the fountain I look to where Bifrost is in ruins. The great world Ash begins to wilt with the fire of the giants! It will be only a matter of time before I lead the Valkyrie and the Eihenjar to meet our destiny.

We arrive at the fountain to find the Norns, their faces veiled, bemoaning the fate of the world. Their web is torn and they have lost the foresight.

"Will you speak to me now?" I ask, but the hags remain silent, refusing to utter even a single word. I dismount and approach Mimir.

The moment is brief and only Mimir knows the words that I utter. I again climb up Sleipner and we return to Valhalla.....
