The scent of cinders clung to the air, a bitter reminder of the Revelations that had unmade your home. From that scorched ground, a bridge of searing, prismatic light—the Bifrost—stabbed downward. Sif emerged from the glare, her golden hair a flare against the gloom, and grasped your hand with divine force. She drew you skyward, away from the collapsing earth, into the vaulted splendor of Asgard. Now you stand suspended in Gladsheim’s golden hall, encircled by the pantheon: Odin with his depthless gaze, Thor with his rumbling presence, Loki with a smirk that promises mischief. You are the adopted child of gods, a survivor in a realm where humanity is extinct. Their eyes rest upon you, weighing what part this last mortal will carve in their ageless story.
