Pov. Thor.

After I adopted the goats and instructed them not to return to Hvergelmir, Sif and I headed towards Mgur to finally cross Gjarllarbr. When we crossed, it was noticeable that we were now in the land of the dead.

How did we know? Well... Niflheim was known as the land of ice, home of Ymir while he lived and, most importantly, it was still considered the realm of the living... However, when one crosses Gjarllarbr, the landscape... 'changes'.

The phrase, 'leave all hope, ye who enter', never made so much sense in this situation.

The realm of the dead is a place destined for all souls who have failed to go to the Valhalla hall of the Aesir or the Sessrumnir hall of the Vanir gods.

Souls remain in the river Gjll, with some having the right to reincarnate to prove themselves worthy of going to the feast halls of the gods... Souls that are not reincarnated remain in the river until they reach Amsvartnir, where they will remain there until they are transformed in Draugr and arise on the coast of Amsvartnir, named Nstrnd.

Mist covers the entire realm, teleport runes and Odin's 'vision' are interfered with by this mist rising from Amsvartnir; flying through runes was also useless, because according to Sif once you started flying... The mist would transport you to Gjarllarbr again.

An interesting fact about the land of the dead? It's quite different from hell mentioned in the bible; in fact, it's more of a... cold land.

And when I say cold, I'm not referring to Niflheim's cold... It's much worse.

It even seems to freeze your soul.

Anyway, when Sif and I finally arrived in Amsvartnir.

We began to search the entire coast, as Sif described it, for a rune carved into the ground.

It took a while... But we finally found it.

And just in time actually, Sif was afraid Nhggr would show up.

As soon as we activated the rune, a part of the lake Amsvartnir froze and a kind of 'bridge' formed.

"Once again I'm going to ask you... Are you sure about this Thor?" asked Sif looking at me.

I smiled.

"... More than ever... I don't know if there will be another rune in Lyngvi to form this bridge... So I'll go ahead to check, if there is another rune, I already thank you for your company and you can go back to Valhalla. But if there is no rune, then you will have to wait... As you can't stay in Nstrnd either, as it is Nhggr's 'dining table'... So I'll be as quick as possible and try to be brief with Fenrir, I think about 5 minutes will be enough" I said.

Sif just nodded.

I then activated the Raiton no Yoroi and quickly ran across the bridge until I saw the island.

As I was reaching the end of the 'Ice Bridge' I realized there was something at the end.

Was it a... Dog?

Definitely not Fenrir.

I slowed down and then deactivated the 'armor'... It looked like he noticed me now.

And began to growl.

"GRR"

"Very well then... Hostile attitude deserves a hostile response..." I said, narrowing my eyes.

The creature leaped towards me.

I responded by removing the Mjolnir from my belt and tapping his jaw while he was airborne.

The result was that his head exploded in... ice?

And it looked like the 'lifeless' body was 'growing' a new head.

"I don't exactly have a lot of time for this," I said.

I then activated the 'lightning armor' again and scanned the coast of the island of Lyngvi.

I found the other rune... It was inside a cave, which appeared to be the creature's 'home'.

Not bad then.

According to Tyr, who trained the three eldest princes, Vidar never again mocked his defeated opponents and came to respect them.

I suppose a good spanking and fifteen days confined in a healing chamber did well for his personality...

Anyway, when I got back to my thoughts, I soon headed towards the rune to activate the 'Ice Bridge'.

As soon as it started to form, I activated the 'lightning armor' and 'stopped time'.

Crossing the bridge was very simple at this speed.

It was only when I got to the other side that I deactivated the 'Raiton no Yoroi' and the effect of 'Za Warudo' was gone.

And it looked like the dog-like creature had completely regenerated, and when it saw me... It started to run away.

"WellI suppose that makes things easier," I said, shrugging.

I soon started walking along a small path. As I walked, I started having thoughts... not so necessary.

"...Hmm... Should I give Fenrir a new nickname?...Sparky?...Fluffy?...Droopy?...Hmm...So many options...But I think it would be better to 'cross over that bridge only when I reach it'" I said in finality.

After a while of walking, in the distance, I could see a kind of castle.

A castle a little... too dark for my taste.

Definitely, Fenrir wasn't there... But if people are living here then they probably know where Fenrir is chained.

So I headed towards the castle.

And as soon as I approached...

"Stop! Who are you? And what is your purpose in ljnir?!" shouted a voice nearby.

*Slap*

"Idiot! Don't treat our lady's possible guests like that!" shouted another voice.

I turned towards the voices and saw a man and a woman... who was walking slowly towards me.

A baby crawling across the floor was faster than these two.

"*sigh* Look, I don't want to disturb... So I'll be short and straight... Do you know where Fenrir is?" I asked.

This seemed to surprise the man.

"Fenrir?! The god slayer?! The wolf of the end?! The first beast of Ragnarok?! The older brother of the queen of the underworld?!" asked the surprised man, it looked like he was hyperventilated.

I nodded quickly.

"Yes! So do you know where he is?" I asked quickly, the faster I find Fenrir the faster I get out of here.

"Nope" replied the poker-faced man.

... This dude...

I ran towards him, which seemed to surprise him, and then I grabbed him by the collar and lifted him off the ground.

"Are you kidding?!" I asked, and started shaking him.

The woman then tried to grab my arm to make me let go of the man.

"Please stop! We really don't know! We just know WHO he is! We don't know where he is!... But we know of someone who does!" tried to explain the woman quickly.

That last statement was helpful.

I lowered the man and put him down again, but I didn't let go.

"...Who are you talking about?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

"Our Lady" replied the woman.

"And who is 'your lady'?" I asked suspiciously.

"The queen of the underworldHel" replied the woman.

Well... Looks like Loki's daughter has been busy these years...
