At the door to Odin's cabin, Thor emerges from the fray
Tearing through a horde of sharpened flesh and slime-slick meat
In his hands, an engineer's hammer, now chipped and caked in gore
He staggers and bleeds from a hundred wounds
As he kicks through the door
Behind it, what once was Odin laughs
Her body long and undulating
Her one eye now vast and staring
As she who once styled herself the Allmother is transformed
By the touch of the gods she had unknowingly served for so long
THOR: What the fuck have you done?
ODIN: I have given our people apotheosis
A final completion
The touch and gaze of those to whom we are less than nothing
THOR: You planned this! You knew this was going to happen
ODIN: When I first built this train, this snaking engine of change
I could not have guessed that this is
Where the songs I dreamt of would lead
But we are here
And when the train reaches Midgard
Our new gods will follow and share their gift with all
THOR: You're insane!
ODIN: Sanity has no meaning in this place
I am the serpent that shall poison the sky and boil the sea
The land shall freeze eternal as Yog-Sothoth beckons us hence
Whose voice I heard when first we built the tracks so long ago
All shall know my rule to be the last
And none shall survive my reign
THOR: No
ODIN: Killing me will not save your world
THOR: I don't care
Wounded as he is, it is not a fight that Thor can win
Bleeding his last upon the floor
He takes nine steps to the glass wall of the observation deck
He cannot escape
But any window with a hammer is also an emergency exit
And the stars claim them both
