Awakening the Abyss

Thor butchered giants until the snow turned black and the mountains sagged with bones. At the heart of

Jötunheim, he finally saw the truth: the giants weren’t an army. They were a barrier.

for the first time in eternity. From the abyss, a voice older than thunder whispered:

“Free at last.” And for the first time, Thor felt fear.
