A bastard offspring of Loki.

We do not say its name.

Because you're afraid of it?

We worship it.

It keeps us here.

Let us live beyond natural life.

No more pain. No more death.

Your ritual begins tonight.

It is a privilege to worship.

You will kneel before the god.

If not, it will hang you

from the trees.

Why me?

Your pain is great.

and I will not live like this.

You will kneel before it,

like the rest of us.
