Hel

Hel

We have seen her

How can all of Loki's children be so dreadful and repulsive?

She was death

And is death not hell?

The word hell is derived from her name

Doesn't that mean she is equivalent?

She lives up to it

Does she not?

One side of her

Pulchritudinous

The other side

Gruesome and grotesque

Life vs. Death

Each at bay with each other

Each claiming only half of a body.

Yet as repulsive as she is,

She represents something

The life and death struggle at the Old World

And the question is,

Which side will win?
