The Sibyl's Visions (Valhalla)

The result of this research is described in the afterword and in detail in writer Henning Kure's book I begyndelsen var skriget: Vikingetidens myter om skabelsen.

Röskva is furious because of Þjálfi's rite of passage in the previous graphic novel and wants to be considered an adult too.

As they move through the winterlandscape, Röskva suddenly enters a trance and watches a free and now rabid Fenrir (totally unlike the harmless wolf of the first volume).

Röskva draws the conclusion she has had a vision and that she is experiencing her own rite of passage: becoming a völva (a female shaman).

This allows him and the sons of muspell to live in a valley of warmth while the gods, humans and even the non-muspel giants freeze to death in the eternal winter.

As the horde of Muspel pass Þjálfi and the cat, whom he has named Miff, the ice melts and they are thrown into the abyss.

Huginn and Muninn reaches Odin to tell him of Freyja's demise as the giants attack Valhalla.

Röskva arrives and tells Odin that she has sent Thor's sons to throw Mjolnir into the mouth of Jörmungandr.

She finds herself in Ginnungagap, the void before the world was made, and sees Gungnir fall down on a sleeping Freyja.

The vision ends with Röskva and the gods looking up on Yggdrasil as "the mighty one who rules over all" emerges from the tree; here identified as Odin.

Originally they had the idea that the events would be told by a völva to the Gods, with the ending suggesting that Ragnarök was imminent.

The visions of Röskva allowed the authors to present the more abstract and intangible aspects of the myth without leaving the more concrete approach of the earlier graphic novels.
