Ragnarok

Ragnarök is an event that took place in 7962 BC, 2971 BC and 2020 AD. The Midgard Serpent, Jörmungandr, rises to destroy the world tree, Yggdrasil, and would intend to swallow the earth. Ragnarök starts with Fimbulwinter, which is essentially an eternal winter when it should not take place. Many monsters would rise up to fight the gods including the Fenris wolf, Garmr and Nidhogg.

**First Ragnarök**

The first Ragnarök takes place in ancient times well before anyone even thought of the gods, similar to the Titanomachy. Jörmungandr first encircles the earth, Midgard, and released his tail that had been held inside of its own mouth, as Jörmungandr is an ouroboros. Then, Fimbulwinter began and the three roosters, Gullinkambi, Fjalar and Gálgviðr  crow to signal that Ragnarök has begun. Loki was freed and the monsters came for the gods, and they all had their roles to play and many died in the war. The Norns determined the fate of the gods and the mortals go to war among themselves to survive the endless winter. Sköll and Hati, the wolves who hunt Máni and Söl (moon and sun), eat the gods and the sun, moon and stars disappear from the sky. Fenris goes free and Surtr, the fire giant, destroys the Bifrost, which connects the nine worlds. Heimdall blows hsi horn to announce that the end has come and the gods go to war. Odin fights the Fenris wolf with his army of einherjar, and he will be devoured by the wolf and deliver a killing blow, leaving both Odin and Fenris dead alongside the einherjar army. Garmr and Tyr will fight to the death and kill each other, and Heimdall and Loki kill each other. Frey, Freya and the Valkyries fight Surtr and bring the end of the fire giant. Thor and Jörmungandr fight to the death and Thor kills the serpent, but has been bitten too many times and the venom causes him to fall dead nine steps away from the corpse of the Midgard Serpent. The Nidhogg nearly destroys the World Tree and the Core of Yggdrasil is barely able to heal the tree. Many other gods die in the horrific event, but a few survive and fix the world and the Bifrost by the time that the other gods are resurrected. One man and one woman survive the apocalypse and continue the human race.

**Second Ragnarök**

Less is known about the second Ragnarök, which took place in 2971 BC. The roles were passed on to demigods of all different mythologies, ones who were Völva. Three unnamed demigods took the places of three roosters to signal the start of Ragnarök. An unnamed demigod representing Sköll kills the representative for Máni. However, Jaden Kvasirsdottir and Mateus Sölson do not fight for Hati and Söl yet. Fimbulwinter began and Topanga Briar took the place of Loki, killing Naveah Kvasirsdottir, the representative of Heimdall. However, Topanga survived the encounter and was eaten by Jörmungandr, proving that the events of Ragnarök had changed somewhat. River Bolton destroyed the Bifrost and fought to the death with Dorian and Doriss Lake, the representative of Surtr dying while killing the representatives for Frey and Freya. Jaden kills Mateus, and the unnamed representative of Odin dies against the Fenris wolf. Arcaeus, believed to be Tyr's representative, kills Garmr but survives, and later is the last one who has a chance against Jörmungandr and he dies slaying the serpent, representing both Tyr and Thor, ending Ragnarök. An unnamed man and woman survive, but are not the only survivors this time and are simply the ones named in the prophecy, but are not needed because Arcaeus killed the serpent in time to save the world. The gods have since returned and they rebuild again.

**Third Ragnarök**

The third Ragnarök might be the most well explained one of the series, taking place in 2020, though it was believed to take place in 2018 but without Fimbulwinter until 2020 when the real Ragnarök came. Many of the representatives had passed years ago. Alric Carlson was meant to be the man who would survive, but was killed prior to the 2018 start of Ragnarök. Nate Landon, the representative of Sköll but the son of Máni, kills Addison Fowler, the representative Máni. Kira Robins, Louisa Devenford and Marcia Tennon represent the three roosters and all end up dead, but Ragnarök is coming. Alda Blackthorn, the representative of Söl, is killed by Kate Dolohov, the representative of Hati. Harmon Venn burns the Bifrost as Surtr did. Dennis Creed, the representative of Garmr, is killed by Luke Martyr, whose role is to be that of Arcaeus Tyrson (aka Thor and Tyr). Nia Backhoff, Loki's representative, goes bad like Loki. She is killed by Luke Martyr, whose role is to be that of Arcaeus Tyrson (aka Thor and Tyr) but appears to also be Heimdall, despite believing that the role would belong to Kirk Brennan. Kirk Brennan is revealed to be the Midgard Serpent, representing the serpent and ultimately being consumed and turned into the monster itself, and Luke must kill him and die for it. He is killed and so is Kirk, but both are returned with Kirk a draugr and Luke resurrected. Alda Blackthorn has also been brought back from the dead. Talia Missouri, the woman meant to survive, dies. Then Fimbulwinter comes in 2020 and Luke kills Kirk yet again, resulting in the death of Kate Dolohov, the representative of Hati. Luke dies and Nate puts the Core of Yggdrasil in his chest to resurrect him, thus breaking the cycle of the killers of the Midgard Serpent dying.

**Trivia**

* Ragnarök is often said to have happened twice with 2018 and 2020 as separate events, but are both part of the same event.
* Only in the first Ragnarök did most of humanity get wiped out.
* Only Norse demigods and Völva are able to notice the severity of Fimbulwinter or the monsters, as the mortals and other demigods do not notice.
* The gods had minimal roles in both the second and third Ragnaröks.

**Disclaimer**

* Some of the information from the event in Norse mythology was changed for this series, which is why some of the information might appear incorrect. This is how it happened in the fictional series written by Jo Grayson, not in real mythology.
