Baldur explores the magical world of Sif’s hair. His travels lead him an area filled with long lost books and other literary works.
A lost novel by Hemingway…
Another erotic book by Lynne Cheney…
And what is written on those ancient stone tablets?
Baldur explores Sif’s hair, a fantastic extra-dimensional realm of limitless storage space. Once again, impressive craftsmanship by the dwarves!
An old anvil, a berserker bearskin, a viking longship…. these are just a few of the things inside.
A lost Russian satellite, a dessicated brontosaurus, the lost civilization the Mayans… what is Sif going to do with all this stuff?
Odin and Thor gaze in shocked disbelief at Loki’s new fun park. Suddenly, they are interrupted by a human tourist from Midgard seeking a photo.
Man, there are things you just don’t say to Viking gods…
No, your eyes do not deceive you, Odin. Loki has indeed built a fun park on the sacred plain of Vigrid. Golf, foosball, darts… what are these things? Games, like axe hurling, but safer.
Odin’s blood pressure rises…
Baldur asks Sif is she has seen his lost soccer ball. She hasn’t, but she invites Baldur to look inside her magical hair.
As Baldur stares into her hairy portal, he is overcome with fear. What are these strange tingles and sensations rising up inside him?
Yet another strange red flag on the plain of Vigrid. And another hole in the ground. Could this be a dwarf invasion… or is it the work of an even brasher foe?
Odin and Thor continue to float above the plain of Vigrid and dream about the great final battle, when suddenly they are interrupted.
Vigrid, the ultimate field for the ultimate battle. Odin warns Thor not to be distracted by the idyllic setting… Vigrid is here for one thing and one thing alone, apocalyptic war!
But Thor kind of likes the idea of dying a horrible death in a bed of flowers.
In Norse mythology, the Norns control the destinies not only of man but of the gods and universe itself.
So helms off to them for setting up a sweet location for the big battle in which the entire world is destroyed.
Kicking off a few weeks of adventure in which Thor and Odin visit the battle plain of Vigrid, fated location of the Ragnarok final battle, and discover not all is what it should be.
Vafthruthnir spake:
17. “Speak forth now, Gagnrath, | if there from the floor
Thou wouldst thy wisdom make known:
What name has the field | where in fight shall meet
Surt and the gracious gods?”
Othin spake:
18. “Vigrith is the field | where in fight shall meet
Surt and the gracious gods;
A hundred miles | each way does it measure.
And so are its boundaries set.”
Vafþrúðnismál 17-18, Bellows’ translation[1]
