Skuld smiled as she held William's hand.
"Big Brother, I believe in you," Skuld said. "Till we meet again."
"Till we meet again," William replied as he gave Skuld one last hug.
After taking a step back he gave Urd and Verdandi a bow before taking a step towards the portal that they had opened for him.
As soon as he stepped inside it, he was covered with a bright light. He was off to the place where the Norns had asked him to go, and entrusted a mission to him that only he could complete.
"Don't have any regrets, Big Brother," Skuld shouted as William took a step inside the portal. "... because it will be too late for regrets."

When the light receded from William's vision, the first thing he saw was a beautiful lady with long, silky black hair.
The lady's face was flushed, and her expression wasn't looking that well, so the Half-Elf assumed that she might be in some kind of trouble.
