Bragi: What did you just say, Father? Balder dead? That is impossible, there is no one who wants to hurt him, the whole town loves Balder
Odin: I know that, but the witch of Helheim has told me and her predictions are always correct
Hemord: Something has to be done to prevent it, at all costs
Odin: I know, that's why you're here, Hemord. I want you to go through the 9 worlds and force everyone to swear that they will not harm every living thing, every weapon, everything
Hemord: That's impossible
Odin: We have to do the impossible to avoid it, no matter what we have to do. If Balder dies, all will be lost. Ragnarök will be inevitable
Hemord and Bragi: Ragnarök?!
Bragi: This has to be just a joke, right?
Odin: No. The real Ragnarök, but we can avoid it
*A shadow appears behind Odin*
Witch: Didn't I tell you, father of all? Balder's death is inevitable
Odin: What are you doing here?
Witch: I only come to warn you not to defy fate. All this is beyond your limits, it is something much bigger than you can imagine
Odin: Destiny? Do you really think that matters to me?
*Odin shows his eye covered, and a galaxy and runes are shown in it*
Odin: There is no one who surpasses my knowledge, witch. If necessary, I will resort to forbidden magic, but I will not allow Ragnarök to come
Witch: Have you always been so arrogant? With those empty words, you only show me that you are blind from so much knowledge and power
Odin: Go away, witch. Balder will survive and the gods will enjoy more years of reign
Witch: Odin. Remember that no matter how much knowledge and power you have, you are not immortal. Death stalks everyone from a corner. All of us, even the gods themselves, have a destiny assured, death. No one can escape that whim of fate
Odin: Shut up! Fate this, destiny that, you have me sick of that fate. I'm the one who writes your own story, witch
Witch: Good luck with that, father of all. Just remember that fate is capricious
*The witch fades in seconds*
Odin: Hemord, there is no time to lose.
Hemord: Yes! Bragi, let's go
Bragi: Got it
*Hemord and Bragi ride Odin's horse and begin a tour of the nine worlds*
*A world full of floating islands with lots of nature and thousands of gigantic trees in the abyss is shown*
Bragi: I didn't remember this place being so gigantic
*An ice blade approaches Bragi and Hemord's necks*
Skade: What do you want Aesir in our territory?
Hemord: Skade, goddess of winter. We are not here to fight you. We have a mission entrusted by the father of all
Skade: *Put away his sword* What does that old man want? It must be very important for him to lend them his horse
Hemord: It's a matter of high importance, Balder's life is in danger
Skade: Balder? If so, you have to come with us
*All the Vanir gathered (Skade, Nerthus, Frey, Freyja, Njord, Lytir, Hœnir, Gullveig, and Gerd) are shown*
Njord: So, what is that important issue?
Hemord: The father of all, he ordered me to make everyone swear not to harm Balder
Njord: And what good would that do? Even if we swear that it won't guarantee anything
Hemord: Not by this spell
*A sphere with smoke inside is shown*
Hemord: If you place your finger on this sphere and they swear not to harm Balder, the conspiracy will make Balder immortal to any harm you cause him
Njord: Wow... Every day I am more surprised by the level of magic that old man has
Freyja: I think it's silly. Which person in the 9 worlds would want to hurt Balder?
Frey: Sister, the world is full of very bad people, so it's best to be safe
Freyja: What stupidity
Njord: I will, and all the Vanir under my command will too. But tell that old man he owes me a very big one
Bragi: I'll make sure the message gets to you
Njord: I swear not to hurt Balder
*A purple energy surrounds Njord*
Njord: What is this?
*Chains catch Njord's hands*
*Frey grabs her sword*
Njord: Be still, Frey
*The chain fades away*
Njord: *Think* How strange, yet I don't feel like anything changes inside me
Gerd: Are you okay? Njord
Njord: Yes, you don't have to worry
*The rest of the Vanir also make the pact*
Hemord: Thank you very much for your help
Njord: There's no point, we only do this because we don't want something to happen to Balder
Hemord: I know. That's all from our side. We will continue to tour Vanaheim and the rest of the worlds
*Bragi and Hemord disappear at high speed*
*A gloomy and icy kingdom is shown*
Loki: Wow, what a surprise to see them around here
Bragi: We don't come here because we like it
Hemord: We have a request from the father of all
Loki: The old man? What does he want from me?
Bragi: Don't call my father that, treat him with respect scum Jötun
Loki: *Smiles* You're lucky I'm not interested in you, or else you'd already be dead
*Blood is shown on Bragi's neck*
Bragi: *Think* What?! At what time?
Hemord: *Think* Even if we want to, we can't both against him. Loki is very good at hiding his intentions, he is the god of lies for a reason
Loki: So, tell me, what do you want from me?
Hemord: We want you to swear not to hurt Balder
Loki: Huh? What do you want to achieve with this request? If I'm not mistaken, Odin may have used some magic for this, but what are they really afraid of?
Bragi: We won't tell you
Hemord: Shut up Bragi. I know we can't lie to you, so I'll tell you directly. Odin fears that Balder's death will trigger Ragnarök
Loki: ¿El Ragnarök? I thought the old man wasn't afraid of those assumptions
Hemord: Things have changed since you were banished, Loki
Loki: How boring everything has become. I think one of these days I'll pay a visit to the Aesir
Hemord: You know very well that you are not allowed to enter Asgard
Loki: I think that after this favor that I will do you, you will owe me something, right?
Bragi: We're not here to negotiate with you, you know very well where you stand
Loki: My position? You know very well that here you have the disadvantage
*A large blizzard is generated and hundreds of red eyes are displayed*
Loki: Here I'm the one with the advantage
Hemord: Damn. So, you knew we were coming
Loki: The news comes back very quickly, Hemord
Bragi: What do we do?
Hemord: You know very well that it is not in your best interest to finish us off, if you do Odin himself will come to finish you off
Loki: I doubt it. Odin can't even get me dirty, so I don't care if he comes
*Sparks are shown behind Loki*
Thor: *Smile* He can't finish you off, but I can
Loki: *Smile* How long haven't seen you, Thor
Thor: Do as my father ask, or you'll regret it
*Starts laughing*
Loki: Always so sure of your strength, but soon your end will come
Thor: I don't care what you say
Loki: I swear I won't hurt Balder
*The chain appears in Loki's hands*
Loki: *Think* His spell is very powerful, every day I'm more surprised by that old man
Thor: Hemord, Bragi, keep up your duty
Hemord and Bragi: Yes
*Both disappear*
Loki: Why did you stay?
Thor: I thought you had changed, but it seems that you haven't
Loki: Things are different than before, don't expect everything to go back to normal just because you want it
Thor: I would have preferred things to be different
Loki: Not everything goes the way we would like it to
Thor: I know *Disappears between lightning*
Loki: See you soon, Thor
*Ravens are shown spreading Odin's message and people vowing not to hurt the god Balder*
*Hemord and Bragi are also shown making elves, dwarves, animals, weapons, giants, and every other possible being swear that they will not harm Balder*
*Asgard Castle shown*
Hemord: Father of all, we have made it after so long, all beings have sworn not to hurt Balder
Odin: Are they all there?
Hemord: Almost everyone, there is a mistletoe branch that has not yet sworn, if you think it is necessary we will go for it
Frigg: No, you don't have to
Hemord: Got it
Odin: Thank you very much for your work Hemord, you will be rewarded without a doubt
Hemord: I am proud to receive those words from you, the father of all
Odin: *Think* Fate will not stop my power. If necessary, I will go against him
*Loki is shown with a mistletoe in his hand*
Loki: Well, what's next? *Smile*
