[Spoken word: LYFRASSIR]
At the door to Odin’s cabin,
Thor emerges from the fray
, tearing through a horde of sharpened flesh and slime-slick meat. In his hands an
engineers hammer
, now chipped and caked in gore. He staggers and bleeds from a hundred wounds as he kicks through the door.
Behind it, what once was Odin laughs.
Her body long and undulating,
her one eye now vast and staring
, as she who once styled herself the Allmother is transformed by the touch of the gods she had unknowingly served for so long.
[THOR]
"What the fuck have you done?"
[ODIN]
"I have given our people apotheosis. A final completion. The touch and gaze of those to whom we are less than nothing."
[THOR]
"You planned this! You knew this would happen."
[ODIN]
"When I first built this train, this
snaking
engine of change, I could not have guessed that this is where
the songs I dreamt of
would lead. But we are here, and when the train reaches Midgard, our new gods will follow and share their gift with all."
[THOR]
"You're insane!"
[ODIN]
"Sanity has no meaning in this place.
I am the serpent that shall poison the sky and boil the sea. The land shall freeze eternal as
Yog-Sothoth beckons us hence, whose voice I heard when first we built the track so long ago.
All shall know my rule to be the last, and none shall survive my reign."
[THOR]
"No."
[ODIN]
"Killing me will not save your world."
[THOR]
"
I don't care.
"

[LYFRASSIR]
Wounded as he is, it is not a fight that Thor can win. Bleeding his last upon the floor, he takes
nine steps
to the glass wall of the observation deck. He cannot escape,
but any window with a hammer is also an emergency exit
. And
the stars claim them both
.
[Instrumental]
