They had gone through hell for a future that wasn't guaranteed. Then dumped back into the world with a heavy injury to show for it. Jökull remained bedridden for days now, stuck within the walls of a massive stone castle. There Valkyrie helped to care for him, bringing food and tending to his every need as best she could. He could feel how every bone ached and throbbed, the cracks from all the heavy breakage screaming at him constantly. It was enough to deprive him of any decent sleep for many nights.

Tired and grumpy, he would give anything to go back home and forget any of this ever happened. On the bright side, quite literally, the world had been reborn. Sunshine spread throughout the land, banishing any clouds and darkness that threatened to take it over once more. Grasses and flowers bloomed over the vast open lands. Forests sprang back to life in their full glory. All of the wildlife was back in full force, seemingly taunting the predator while he was still useless and frail. God damnit all! This wasn't fair! Jökull tried his best to get a little more comfortable within his enclosed home, stone surrounding him like a prison. Please get here soon, Valkyrie.
