> "It was the ending of a bad dream, his screaming. It's sad but I only felt calm and safe when he was crying as a baby, I think it's because I could do something, I could hold him, feed him, change him, etc, even now when he's screams, throws a tantrum I know I can do something but when things get quiet, I kind of loose it slowly."

In exchange, Günther consented to the marriage of Siegfried and his sister Kriemhild. Years later, after a dispute between Brünhild and Kriemhild, Siegfried was murdered by Hagen with Günther's consent. He was stabbed in his one vulnerable spot on the small of his back, which had been covered by a leaf while he bathed in dragon's blood.
