家园 【文摘】Ragnarok

The earth will begin to tremble so violently that trees will be uprooted and mountains will fall, and all bonds and fetters will snap and break. Loki, god of mischief and strife, will be freed along with his ferocious son, the wolf Fenrir whose slavering mouth will gape wide open with his upper jaw against the sky and his lower one against the earth, but it would gape even wider if there was room. Flames will burn from the wolf's eyes and leap from his nostrils.

Odin will make straight for Fenrir, and Thor, right beside him, will be unable to help because his old enemy, the Midgard Serpent, will at once attack him. Freyr, the "bright slayer of Beli", [10] will fight the fire giant Surtr, but after a harsh conflict he will become the first of all the gods to fall as he has previously given his own good sword to his servant Skírnir. Tyr will battle Garmr and each will slay the other.

Thor, "the glorious son of Earth", [11] will kill Jörmungandr with his hammer Mjolnir. "In his wrath the defender of Midgard strikes" [12] but will himself stagger back nine steps before falling to the ground dead from the poison which the Serpent unleashed upon him. Then the "second sorrow of Frigg" [13] will come about when Odin fights valiantly against Fenrir but is devoured by the wolf.

After a time when the fire of Surtr has died down and the smoke and steam are dispersed, a new earth will rise up from the sea. It will be green and fair, and crops and fields will grow on their own, without sowing. All ills will be healed. "A waterfall plunges, an eagle soars over it, hunting fish on the mountain."

Then they will find in the green grass the golden playing pieces that had belonged to the Æsir when the universe was young. They will behold these objects in wonder, tangible reminders of a first golden age of peace at the dawn of time.
