Ragnarök

(This Is For The Event If You Came For The Monster Click Ragnarök (Monster))

**Ragnarök**, also known as the **Twilight of the Gods**, is a major event first prophesied by the Jötunn Gróa that foresees the ultimate battle that results in the death of many gods, including Odin and Thor, as well as the "rebirth" of the world through submersion into water. Kratos and Atreus are also mentioned in the prophecy, as being the center of everything. However, in truth, it will only result in the destruction of Asgard while the other realms will stay intact. Furthermore, it will also result in the deaths in the deaths of only Thor and Odin.

## The Reggiesworld Trilogy

Ragnarök was first prophesized by the Jötunn Seeress Gróa, who unintentionally saw a vision of the actual events while searching in her library for ancient tomes for knowledge that would help her find her lost husband Aurvandil. In her vision she saw the beginning of Fimbulwinter, Sköll and Hati devouring the Sun and Moon, Surtr emerging from Muspelheim, Hróðvitnirbreaking free from his chain and the Gods once again at each other's throats. She also saw a white ghost from another land and his young son, Kratos and Atreus, who are at the center of everything. However, her vision was so powerful that it was felt by Odin himself, who promptly journeyed to Gróa's library to demand what she had seen. Seeing the seeress was hesitant to tell him anything, Odin proceeded to strangle her, but not before coldly revealing that Thor had killed her husband long ago.

However, Gróa managed to have the last laugh as the All-Father was seemingly unable to take all of her knowledge regarding the events of Ragnarök and only learned some of the main figures to be involved. He continued to try and gather more knowledge surrounding the events. Knowing that the rest of Jötnar also possessed the gift of foresight as well, he manipulated his son Týr into arranging a meeting with the Giants in their home realm of Jötunheim in order to try and steal some of their secret knowledge on the events of Ragnarök. Under the guise of brokering peace between the two races, Odin managed to gain entrance to the realm of the Giants and proceeded with Tyr to the meeting hall. Distracting the Jötnar with the false promise of handing over Mjölnir to them for the sake of peace, Odin managed to catch a glimpse of a hidden tapestry that depicted Kratos and Atreus in the events of Ragnarök, but he did not know who they were. However, his treachery was quickly discovered, and the Giants forever banished him from Jötunheim before he could learn anymore.

As a result, Odin and by extension the rest of the Aesir, did not have a clear picture of Ragnarök and could only piece together the parts he managed to gather so far, which resulted in the Aesir misunderstanding certain events and when exactly they were supposed to happen, such as Baldur's death.

However, the Giants foresaw everything that was meant to happen in Ragnarök and carved out the events leading up to it as a mural one of their walls in Jotunheim. Their guardian, Faye, destroyed one half of the mural so as to protect her son and husband from their fate.

However, three years later, Kratos, Atreus, Mimir and Týr discovered the real prophecy on Ragnarök which followed Baldur's death and Fimbulwinter. It turns out, the giants had hidden the actual prophecy in some of the Jötunn shrines with their magic in order to prevent Odin from finding them.

## Invasion of Asgard

After Odin kills Brok, the vengeful Vanir Goddess Freya along with Kratos, after a while, decided to change their priority from preventing Ragnarök to setting the very apocalypse into motion. With Freyr and Hildisvíni, the group began making plans for the invasion on Asgard. Knowing that they needed their own armies for the battle, each of them went to one of the nine realms to recruit the inhabitants living there; Kratos and Atreus ventured to Musphelheim to find Surtr whilst Freya went to Vanaheim to summon the Vanir and to recruit the Valkyries the duo had freed. For Freyr's part, he traveled to the realm of Alfheim to rally the Elves while Hildisvini went to Helheim to recruit the Army of the Dead, though he needed Mimir for it. As for Sindri, he went to Svartalfheim to convince the dwarves to join in the invasion. When Kratos and Atreus reunite with Freya in Midgard, she revealed that she gave the Valkyries (now called Shield Maidens) a new physical and corporeal form, thus preventing them from getting corrupted again. Moreover, the Light and Dark Elves had formed a truce and unite as one, which would give the newly-formed alliance an advantage by air. As for the Dead and the Vanir, they became the vanguard on the ground in the invasion. When Atreus asked Freya if the dwarves will join in the fight, she tells him that she hadn't heard from Sindri yet.

The next day, after a full night of rest, Kratos, who agreed to become the general of the army, led his allies into the realm travel room of Týr's Temple, where he gave a short but harrowing speech about what was to come. As his allies renewed their resolve, Kratos blew into Gjallarhorn which sent out a colossal, earth-shattering horn-blast that echoed across the Nine Realms. At once, the nine Realm Travel doors ignited in blazing light as the World Tree shook from top to bottom. Seeing the Asgard gate slid open, Kratos and his allies surged forward into the realm of the Aesir. In their respective realms, the Elves, the Vanir and the Dead did the same.

Kratos and his allies arrived on the plains of Vigridr, where they were met by a scene of total chaos and devastation as the Elves, the Vanir, and the Dead attacked Asgard's legions of Einherjar and war-beasts arrayed in front of the Wall. The sky had darkened and was rent by numerous storm clouds while the air was filled with yells and cries of battle, along with bellowing roars and deafening explosions. As the allied armies surged against the walls of Asgard, the Einherjar proceeded to grind them down while they used their dwarven-built war machines to destroy the Niflheim tower, having already destroyed the Muspelheim tower, in an attempt to cut off the Fire Giant Surtr before he could even arrive. As the battle intensified, most of Kratos' allies split up to deal with the enemy forces while Kratos himself, and Freya fought their way through the warring armies towards the Asgardian war machines, knowing that if they continued to destroy more of the realm towers, then it would stop Ragnarök.

Along the way, the two killed dozens of Einherjar along with several monsters. At this time, Freya reveals that since Ragnarök (Surtr) is still absent, they have to exploit Hrimthur's flaw in the walls themselves. As they neared the wall, Angrboda, Fenrir, Sköll & Hati and the World Serpent (actually his younger version) burst onto the scene and joined in the battle, with the latter proceeding to engage Thor in one-to-one combat. As Kratos and Freya continued on to the war machines, problems soon began to rise; the Migard and Jötunheim realm towers were soon destroyed as well, the Elves, the Dead and the Vanir continued to suffer heavy casualties and the Einherjar that were killed in battle kept coming back from Valhalla to begin fighting all over again. Yet despite this, the tide of the battle soon began to tell against Asgard as allied reinforcements continued to pour onto the battlefield from Helheim and Alfheim and the Asgardian forces were gradually pushed back to the foothills of the Wall.

After Freya flies off to help the Shield Maidens in severing the Einherjar's link to Valhalla, Hildisvini reports to Kratos that there's still no sign of the dwarves, but Atreus insists that they still to have trust in Sindri, as he won't let them down. As Hildisvini went off to rally as many forces as he can, Kratos and Atreus proceeded to the Svartalfheim tower. When they nearly reached it, they were suddenly attacked by a dragon, but were saved by Angrboda and Fenrir, but as they were about to go through a rift, they were immediately chased by Gná, Odin's new Valkyrie Queen. Once Kratos and Atreus reached the Svartalfheim tower, Sindri was the only one to arrive, as he doesn't want more of his kind to die in Ragnarök, much to the dismay of Atreus. Once the trio reached the row of war machines, Ragnarök emerges but was immediately attacked by the war machines. Fortunately, however, Sindri used a device to destroy them, which also resulted in the injuring of many of the people living outside Asgard's walls. Kratos and Atreus soon realized that the people are actually Midgardians, whom are captured and forced to fight for Odin, who put them in the duo's path so that they could die.

Knowing what he must do, Kratos proceeded to launch a distress signal to call all of his Vanir allies. Once they regrouped, Kratos declares that they will breach Hrimthur's flaw themselves, but Freya disagrees, as she believed it to be a suicidal mission, but Kratos insists that while it may be suicidal, they would rather die seeking justice instead of vengeance. Kratos sends the Female Dark Elf Beyla and her Light Elf husband Byggvir into evacuating the Midgardians to safety, while Freya and Freyr will try to slow Ragnarök down in an attempt to get him to listen to reason. When Atreus stays to help his father, Kratos orders him to protect and escort Sindri to the Asgard realm tower as it is where Hrimthur's flaw is located. Once the two arrive at the tower, Atreus was confronted by Thrúd, Thor's daughter, who believed that Atreus has come to kill her and her family. Though the latter tried to explain that he and his allies came to kill only Odin, Thrud wouldn't listen and just knocks Atreus to the ground. When Sindri moved in to attack her, Atreus stops him, insisting that she is his friend. When he reveals that Odin is sacrificing the Midgardians to deter the approach of the armies of the realms, Thrúd refused to believe him, that is until the goddess Sif, her mother, appeared.

Sif reveals that it is what Odin is, and had always been; an uncaring and selfish god, who is willing to sacrifice anyone. When she tells her daughter that their family will be whole again without Odin, Thrúd relentled and sided with Atreus. The latter, with the help of Sindri, then destroyed Hrimthur's flaw, allowing the group to advance inwards towards the The Great Lodge, hoping to find Odin inside. They fight through waves of Einherjar as Thor and the World Serpent battled. When they reached the city of Gladsheim, Thor sends Jörmungandr back in time. Witnessing this, Kratos orders Thrúd to take Atreus and Odin's mask to safety. Thor, enraged to see Kratos with his daughter, proceeded to tackle him and send the Spartan and himself towards the Great Lodge, where they once again engaged in an intense and ferocious battle.

Kratos eventually gains the upper-hand and impales Thor's hand to the ground. After he was told that his daughter became a friend to Atreus, his hand is set free, but Thor still wants to continue fighting because they can't fight who they are, destroyers. However, he finally listens when Kratos insists that they must change themselves for the future of their children. Seeing this, Odin appeared and demand Thor to resumed his fight, but Thor openly refused. An enraged Odin immediately used his spear to impale his own son through the chest, killing the God of Thunder, just as Atreus and Thrúd arrived. Odin tries to pin the blame on Kratos for Thor's death, but a horrified and enraged Thrúd refused to believe it and rushed to attack her grandfather. However, Odin knocks her away with Mjölnir, then turned his attention back to Kratos and Atreus. Deflecting all the blame on them for his family's downfall. The All-Father then personally engaged the duo in combat.

Odin was eventually able to freeze the two in place, but was then magically choked by Freya before he could even attempt to finish them off. She intended to make Odin suffer and bow before her, but he soon broke free and proceeded to destroy the ground beneath them. Right at the rift in creation, Odin implores Atreus to embrace his destiny as Loki and put on the mask. Instead, Atreus shattered the mask and the tear died with it. Now completely furious as his plans were all for naught, Odin brought the full might of his powers against Atreus, Kratos, and Freya. Working together, the trio defeated the King of Asgard. Forced to his knees, Odin remained unrepentant as Atreus transferred the Raven King's soul into a spiritual stone. Seconds later, a vengeful Sindri arrived. Taking the stone from Atreus, he brought down his hammer upon it, destroying Odin's soul.

After Sindri left, Freyr arrived to check on the group just as Ragnarök plunged his sword into Asgard, finally about to fulfill his destiny. Angrboda and Fenrir arrived to evacuate the group, with Freyr continuing to shield them from Surtr's sword. The group are then forced to leave him in order to escape Asgard alive, and Freyr died in the ensuing explosion, sacrificing himself in the process.
