Ragnarok, or the god's fate, the final battle that will determine the tree of life and the nine world's future, but their future was already sealed.
One night of the cold nights of Asgard, the Aesir's oracle woke up and the signs of fear were clearly shown on her face, she saw a vision, a prophecy, volva stood and ran as fast as she could to the aesir's castles, she needs to warn them, a lot of her companion tried to stop her and ask what was the problem, but she had no time to speak, she need to get to the gods as fast as he could, this can't wait.
Of all the gods she chose the most powerful and wisdom and fearful one, the father of all the other gods, Odin, volva demanded to gather all the aesir's, and Odin of course did what she told him to do, and the gods gathered in clandheim, the hall of the meetings, most of the gods complained about the late meeting because most of them were having fun with their wives, and the goddesses complained that they have something to do, but volva was the gods oracle, and whatever she have to say, its important and all the gods have to listen.
Inside of all the noise and shouting and the angry gods, Odin spoke and all the gods were silent, no one dared to speak when the head of the gods spoke, he told them what the meeting was about and then allowed volva to speak and tell them the prophecy she saw, and she began.
The gods and goddesses were listening very carefully to what volva was saying, not because they want to hear the prophecy, but they were listening because they were afraid that Odin will punish them for not listening, and volva told them what she saw.
she saw nothing, her vision was all black and dark, no one understood what her prophecy meant, not even Odin, the gods went rampage, is this what they were brought for in the middle of the night? They were about to leave when Odin shouted for them to stay and listen to what volva was saying, and they all sat back on their seats, but most of them was paying no attention to volva nor Odin and they were just playing and kissing their wives, with one blew with his wand Odin shock the entire hall and all the gods turned to face him stunned and volva continued.
She told them that the dark in her vision meant death, but the death of who, the gods were now listening to what she was saying, someone is going to die, but the question is who?
she told them that the nine worlds will be destroyed by fire and the tree of life will burn and sink in the dark ocean surrounding the tree, she told them that the humans in Midgard will die and Midgard itself will be destroyed, she told them that the giants of yottinheim will die, and yottenheim itself will be destroyed, she told them that no god will survive what was coming and asgard will fall after ages in the top of the tree, the gods broke in laughing, only Odin and Loki stayed silent, Loki never liked the gods and he always wanted them to die even his father who adopted him, he wasn't a true aesir he was from the giants, back to volva she was angry but most disappointed, why the gods didn't listen to her?
she tried to warn them and they laughed in her face though the prophecy will happen no matter what, they all going to die and the world will fall in darkness and no one is listening to her, she thought maybe they will help her finding a solution to avoid the prophecy but no one listened, she told them about the war, Ragnarok, but no one believed her, baldr son of Odin and brother to Thor accused her with lying and craziness, but volva didn't listen and continued, she told them that the first god who will die is baldr, they laughed even more, it was some kind of a comedian performance to entertain them, and they reminded her that baldr cant die simply because no weapon can hurt him, and Loki stayed by a corner listening to her.
And what made things worse is when she told them who they will fight in Ragnarok, she told them that before the vision finished she heard Loki laughing an evil laugh, she told them that Loki will be their enemy in Ragnarok.
Now the gods were out of patient, how dare this filthy woman who supposed to be the oracle, to accuse a god, one of them the Aesir's, of starting a war that will end them all?
One of the first gods who defended Loki was his older brother, master of the lightning Thor, he remind volva who she was and who she was accusing with treachery, and he threatened her with his mighty hammer, Mjöllnir, if she didn't apologize and take back what she said, he will have her head and give it to Loki as prize.
Her heart start beating fast and her eyes were about to tear, she was afraid for her life, after all Thor was the one who threatened her, and they all know what Thor wants he gets, it's only matter of time, she backed off and hid behind Odin, he was the only one that Thor listen to, and Odin in a moment of Rage of his son's actions, one blew with his wand was enough to sent Thor flying across the room, with all the other gods and goddesses astonishment Thor stood with a little help from his wife sif, and walked out the hall angry and also embarrassed, if Odin was someone else he would be dead by now, but he was not someone else, he was Odin his father, he can't hit back his father so he had to swallow his pride and walk away.
The first thing Odin did was to sound the alarm in Asgard and the nine worlds, but only midgrade and vanheim alongside with elfheim responded, he doubled the borders watchers, and spread the army through Yggdrasil, a few worlds were annoyed by the new change of movements and thought it was a dirty game by Asgard to control them, and those worlds were mostly who were holding a grudge on Asgard and to be exact on Thor, those worlds were yottenheim world of the giants, and nivelheim world of the frost demons, and mospelheim world of the fire, and home of sourt owner of the vengeance sword and his people, and last hilheim the cold dark world of the suffering dead while Svartalvheim world of the dwarves and the dark elves stayed neutral.
Vanheim world of the Vanir, the second class gods welcomed the reinforcements gladly, in the past they were in a war with the aesirs, but now they work together to keep the peace in the nine worlds.
But it wasn't the same in elfheim, the reinforcement returned to Asgard disappointed, not that elfheim didn't respond, they returned because the elf thinks they are a tough warriors and they can take care of their own world their own selves.
And in Midgard, Heimdall the most powerful god ever existed even powerful than Odin and Thor together, decided to take the lead of the army heading to Midgard, he was the father of all the humans and he wanted to protect his sons and daughters, before he go he discussed with Odin their enemy in the end of time war, but Odin didn't look convinced, he didn't believe that his son, his most beloved son after Thor will kill them all and cause the tree of life to die, he simply didn't.
Odin turned to volva and asked her if she was sure of her vision and prophecy, after hesitation and scared of Odin's reaction she said yes, but Odin didn't react at all, he stayed calm as always, and ordered Heimdall to take her with him, and also Odin gave Heimdall some instructions, he ordered him to stay low, he knew how much Heimdall love the humans, but he didn't want to risk revealing the gods world to them thought they know the gods and they worship them.
Heimdall mounted on his horse named Ghultop, and called for volva to mount, his horse was so fast, only a moments and they were in Bifrost, the bridge between Asgard and the other worlds and it was secured by Heimdall himself, his castle haimenborg was near the bridge so he can watch and protect Asgard all the time.
With his legions, Heimdall moved through the bridge to Midgard, when they arrived they landed in the middle of a forest, Heimdall divided his legions to groups and he send them around Midgard to watch, and he insisted on them to stay low, and not to talk with anyone.
After the legions spread in all the directions he dismounted Ghultop and so did volva, and he sent his horse away, Ghultop flew toward the sky while Heimdall was watching him, and five dragons appeared from nowhere and chased him, Heimdall noticed that the dragons were mounted by people, but he didn't care, he was on a mission, a mission to protect Midgard and he was sure Ghultop will lose them easily, and he was right, after moments the five dragons returned to where they came from, Ghultop was no regular horse, he was a legendary horse, and by now he would be in Asgard.
When he was sure that Ghultop was no more in Midgard he turned to volva and ordered her to use her magic to hide in the shadows so she can be safe, oracles have that gift but in the same time it was a curse, after she did a few moves with her hand and reciting some spills, she went from the lights to the shadows, and that gave her invisibility, now she can't be seen, Heimdall also ordered her to stay there and never leave that place so he can find her again if something happened.
After that Heimdall left to check around the forest to make sure that no one is around, his mission was to watch over Midgard and not to be seen, when he was done he went back to where he left volva, and in the way back he was intercepted by two men or three if he counted the dragon following them, one was in his mid thirties and the other was around fifteen, Heimdall though they were father and son.
"May I know who are you? And what are your intentions?" the older man asked looking to Heimdall's golden sword and shield, and the dragon charged with a purple fire.
"My intentions are good, and I mean no harm to you or your son." Heimdall said holding his sword in case the dragon attacked.
"Father?!" the young man asked his father worried of the turn of the events, he was much like his father, he was tall and skinny with brown hair but unlike his father he had blue eyes.
"Son, go back to your mother and tell her to warn the other riders and stay alarmed." The old man told his son, and immediately the young lad obeyed and left running.
"Hey, you said you came in peace so why you're holding your sword and looking like you're about to attack…can we but the swords down and speak like gentlemen?" the man offered and Heimdall accepted the offer because his mission says so, the dragon calmed as Heimdall put the sword back in its sheath.
"So…are you in a scouting mission or something?" the man with the brown hair started questioning Heimdall, and Heimdall had no choice but to go with it.
"No, I was just passing through." Heimdall answered.
"But the sword says otherwise, you're not looking like you were passing through." The man said doubting Heimdall's answer, and he was staring at Heimdall's golden teeth which annoyed the god.
"I'm Hiccup chief of berk, what's your name?" he asked Heimdall his name.
"I'm Heimdall." He answered honestly.
"You mean like the god?" Hiccup wondered, it seemed like a strange name to him, not a lot of people name their kids after gods.
"Exactly!" Heimdall answered and then continued "and again I mean no harm to you or your village."
"Ok please answer my question, how did you landed here, I'm sure you didn't came in a ship…can I suggest the dragon that flew away earlier belongs to you?"
This man was smart, Heimdall gave him that, and in the right time another blue dragon full of spines landed bedside the black dragon, and also it had a rider, a beautiful blonde woman, not like Freyja but she was beautiful though.
Hiccup took a look to the woman with the dragon who just landed, and when he turned back to Heimdall he was gone, in a blink of an eye.
"Vidar told me what happened…where he is?" she asked confused after she took a look around and found there was no one but her and her husband.
"Nothing happened; he was just a man passing through…let's go back home honey!" Her husband answered her and then took her hand and walked together back to their village.
