JON, SYDNEY, AND I STARED DOWN AT THE FIELD FROM the doorway of the great hall, and suddenly it hit me that we were on our own. I couldn’t tell what I felt. Would Asgard really fall today? Would Loki rule? Would our worlds crumble?

I looked at the lyre in my hands. It seemed so old and frail.

“Come on,” said Jon. “Odin may not survive, but let’s do what we have to do.”

We slipped under the arch and started running up stairways to the summit and Odin’s throne. Finally, we came to a place open to the sky, a high, flat terrace of white stone polished to a glassy sheen. At the far end stood a tall throne, as high and wide as a house, made entirely of crystal.

“That’s the engine of death?” Jon said. “It’s so … beautiful!”

In the throne’s back was an indentation the exact size and shape of the Crystal Rune. I felt my knees ready to buckle. To destroy it meant the death of Odin. Not to destroy it meant the end of our world, if Loki had anything to say about it. “This lyre isn’t going to do anything at all —”

Then we heard something weird. It sounded like crunching and cracking and stomping, but it wasn’t coming from the noisy battlefield. It was coming from the forest just below Valhalla’s uppermost level — just below us.

“Oh, please,” said Jon. “Tell me it’s not him.”

Sydney ran to the edge of the wall and looked down. “It’s him.”
