I saw his fury in the moment.<\/p>\n
Elderstahl flashed in the night.<\/p>\n
Fires raged and roared.<\/p>\n
Surt screamed his defiance at the realms.<\/p>\n

Thor perished on Jormungandr’s fangs.<\/p>\n
The All-Father, consumed by the beast Fnrir.<\/p>\n
Even all seeing Heimdall fell to Loki’s blades.<\/p>\n
None are left to stand in the final day.<\/p>\n
Ragnarok has come to burn us all away.<\/p>\n

As the fires rose, consuming each realm,<\/p>\n
Sure surveyed his work.<\/p>\n
The grief of worlds pierced his stone heart.<\/p>\n
Only \u00a0at the end could he see what his fury wrought.<\/p>\n
Elderstahl claimed one more life on the final day,<\/p>\n
sheathed in its master’s flesh.<\/p>\n

In anguish he died,<\/p>\n
calling back the flames of wrath,<\/p>\n
like calling back the wind on the sea.<\/p>\n
