Full Circle

Heimdal looked on in wonder as he saw the change in Dyvia. Curse or blessing or could not tell but one thing was certain if and when the Dwarf woke in the mortal realms she would be with child. He held his tongue however as they passed into the courtyard, they had to live through this first.

The drab courtyard was devoid of all life, even plant life. A dusty grey square leading to tall black double doors that were left ajar. There was no guard. A great hound had sat here once...Heimdal glanced at the Winter wolf and remembered.

"Full circle." He murmered as he reached out to open the gates. "Orsa vhel Sath."

"What was that?" Balar asked.

"It was the language of the Aesir." Heimdal explained, "Know thyself and despair. In this dark hall beyond you will face you darkest heart, be ready and do not stop."

And with that Heimdal passed into the hallway beyond.
