Fenrir knocked tentatively on the door to one of the offices. Peering around the door, he smiled. "You wanted to see me, Neo?"
"Ah, Fenrir. Yes," Neo stood up and stepped past the nervous young man. "Come with me." He led Fenrir farther into the police station and to the part with the jail cells. "In here," he gestured, giving a nod to the guard on duty, who was watching a small TV on the desk.
"Loki," Fenrir whispered, catching sight of his brother sitting in the closest cell.
Loki was sitting with his back against the wall and his knees bent, resting his wrists on bent knees and looking utterly relaxed. But Fenrir, who knew him, could see the hidden tension in his frame and the uncertainty. Loki opened his eyes and glanced up, offering Fenrir a small smile. "Hello, little brother. Come to visit me?"
"Loki, what did you do?" Fenrir asked, stepping up to the bars.
Neo shook his head as the guard on duty opened his mouth. He wanted to see if Loki would admit to it or not.
Loki immediately looked down at his hands. "Heimdall..." he whispered.
"What?"
"Heimdall," Loki spoke up with a cold edge to his voice. "He did something... to Sigyn. He..." Loki swallowed and looked up at Fenrir and Neo frantically. "He was bragging about something and I can't find Sigyn! He hurt her, I know he did!" Loki stood up and glared at them. "He hurt my wife so I tried to kill him!"
Loki slumped back onto the ground, hiding his face in his hands.
When Ragnarök come, winter and cold weather will last for three years, with no summer in between the winter seasons. This was known as fimbul-winter "mighty winter", snowing from all directions. Throughout the world, great battles would be fought; all taboos would be broken, brothers killing one another, and sons would murder their fathers too, mostly out of greed. No kinship would be sacred. This period would be known as the age of axes, age of swords, age of wolves and age of winds.
The two giant wolves, Skoll will swallow up sun (Sol), while Hati shall devour the moon (Moon or Mani). Stars will fall out of the heaven.
The giant worm or dragon Nidhogg that have been gnawing at one of roots of Yggdrasill (Niflheim). Nidhogg would have succeeded in eating away the root that supported Niflheim.
Loki, who was confined in a cavern and punished for his involvement with Balder's death, will escape from his imprisonment, and lead the giants, and his monstrous offspring, to destroy the gods and mankind. Fenrir will escape from his magic binding, while the Midgard Serpent named Jörmungand (Jormungand) will escape from his confinement in the sea.
Frost giants and mountain giants will leave their home in Jötunheim, and sailing toward Plain of Vigrid in a ship called Naglfar; while the fire giants led by Surt will leave their fiery home of Muspelheim.

Final Battle
Heimdall will warn the gods of Aesir of Ragnarök by sounding his horn Gjallahorn. It would be the sound of doom. The gods will arm themselves for the war, even though they knew that they couldn't win. All the slain heroes (Einherjar) who lived in Valhalla will accompany them. These heroes will now assist the gods in a hopeless war.
Of the Aesir gods, it was said in the Vafthrudnismal (Lay of Vafthrudnir) that Njörd will return home to Vanaheim, home of the Vanir deities.
The battlefield will be fought upon the plain of Vigrid. Freyr, without his magical sword and totally unarmed would be the first god to fall to the fire-giant Surt's flaming sword.
The one-handed Tyr managed to kill the hellhound Garm, but Tyr was so severely wounded that he died shortly after the hound. The contest between Loki and Heimdall was evenly matched that both die from the other's weapon.
The thunder-god Thor smashed Midgard Serpent to death with his mighty Mjollnir, but the conflict will exact a heavy toll on the god. Thor will succumbed from the searing venom of Jörmungand (Midgard Serpent).
Odin fought with his mighty spear Gungnir against the monstrous wolf Fenrir. Eventually, Odin fell, devoured by Fenrir. Silent Vidar, seeing his father fall to the giant wolf, bound upon Fenrir and tore the wolf's jaws apart with his bare hands.
Surt then set the world ablaze with his flaming sword. None of the nine worlds escaped from the fire. The earth tried to sink into the sea to avoid the scorching heat. Gods and men, giants and dwarves will all perished in the fire. Fire that reach high as the heaven. The sun will darken and the stars will vanish from heaven.
