 Ragnorok


Ragnorok was a time when all the gods and giants would fight to the death. Many gods knew their fate before it actually happened. In the prophocies the gods knew who would fight who and who would win. After the death of the world, the world woud be revived . When Ragnorok happened, Fenrir wolf and all the giants were free from the chains and jails. Fenrir fought Odin, who fought fiercely, but the huge wolf consumed him. Outraged, Odins son, Vidar rushed up and attemped to slaughter the beast, in which he succeded. Thor faced the Midgard Serpent which he managed to kill but then walked nine steps and died from the serpent's poison. Hemidall fought Loki but both were evenly skilled and both died. Because of this Sutr, who lead the fire giants into battle will engulf the world in flames and will kill almost everyone, including himself. The two sons of Odin, Vali and Vadir survived the flames. After the mass destruction, a new world would rise up from the sea with green grass and the sun shining. A man and a women survived in Hoddmimir's forest in which the world would be in habbited by a new race of humans.
