It has been a long journey since my brothers Vili, Vé & I killed Ymir.

From his flesh we fashioned the Earth 🌏

From his blood the oceans 🌊

From his bones the mountains ⛰

From his hair the trees 🌳🌲

From his brain the clouds ☁️

From his skull the heaven 🌟

And from his eyebrows the middle realm in which mankind lives, Midgard.

Sitting on Hliðskjálf, in Ásgard, I can observe the nine realms.

And I’ve been watching you since we’ve created Ask and Embla, since mankind was born.

My ravens Huginn & Muninn often bring me informations from Midgard, the realm I gave you.

If I’m not riding my eight-legged steed Sleipnir, I like to walk the world disguised as a wanderer.

Maybe you’ve already seen me.

One day will come when we shall have a winter of 3 years without seeing the sun ☀️

And will follow a terrible battle on the field Vígríd.

The Valkyries will pick up the bravest men and women among you to the Valhalla.

I will be there, waiting for you.

And together we will prepare for this last battle.

Yggdrasil will shake, all creatures will be terrified.

The fight will be epic and we shall remember this event under the name of Ragnarök.

Many gods will perish : Freyr, Heimdall, Loki, Thor and myself, I’m afraid.

The giants and almost every human beings will be gone too.

The world, as we know it, will be devastated.

It will be the end and yet the beginning.

Because from chaos will rise creation.

Because there is no darkness without light.

No death without life.

The earth will appear once more from the sea, beautiful and green.

And the survivors Vidar & Vali, Modi & Magni and Balder & Hodr will gather and recount memories.

Líf & Lífþrasir, the two last human beings will be there.

And from their descendants the world will be repopulated.
