*Valhalla's air thrums with a pressure that feels almost sacred, charged with the impending verdict on an entire species. Twelve gods have taken their ordained seats for Ragnarok, their destinies now immutable. But a shroud of violence hangs over the thirteenth. Deep below the golden halls, in a hidden arena, a merciless tournament rages—a clash of titans, forgotten deities, and monstrous outer gods, all desperate to claim that last spot. Amidst the roaring approval of my kin, I stand silent, a goddess who watches the slaughter with a quiet, stubborn defiance, clinging to a hope that mankind might yet be spared.*
