Previously on "Runes."

You must forge something great

to mark the end of your training.

What will you make?

I don't know.

When the time is right, my boy,

your choice will make itself.

With all those guards around, we've got no choice,

we're just gonna have to wait for them here.

Easy, Fenrir, father took almost all of our energy.

I was attacked by a monstrous creature.

The great wolf.

As big as my fist.

And this confirms there's a beast in the forest.

Give me leave to track and capture it.

It is from the moon, it arises called by the hand.

(bear growling)

Split up!

(Alice panting)
(bear growling)

Alice!

(light crackling)

What happened to the giant bear?

He was right in front of us, and then this.

Let's get going and show it to Algythe.

(melodic medieval music)

It is from the moon, it arises called by the hand.

And this is what we got.

I was hoping there'd be some runes inscribed, but nothing.

Not even a single symbol.

Oh, don't lose hope, my young friend.

You came back safe and sound,

and what you have in your hand is more important

than anything you could possibly imagine.

The song tells us that the language

of the gods I will spy.

It is possible that the line is referring to wyrd,

the original rune.

And if that is indeed what the rock is,

it'll most certainly respond to you, Hugo.

Yes, you are able to use Rollo's stones.

So why would this one be any different?

Yes, try it.

Uh...

Mm.

(spirited orchestral music)

(Hugo grunts)

No, it's no good.

The other stones woke up when the time was right,

not just 'cause I wanted them to.

This one, I have no idea how to activate it.

Nothing unusual about that.

Wyrd is an ancient rune indeed.

It's knowledge has been lost since the dawn of creation.

What do we do now?

Oh, come, come.

Uncovering its mystery won't be easy,

not even for the heir of Rollo,

but that doesn't mean the mystery can't be solved.

The Grand Goblin's right.

We'll figure out how to unlock the power of wyrd.

(Grand Goblin chuckles)

Thank you for your faith in us Grand Goblin,

but we must act quickly.

Before long, the dragon will threaten all of Baligan.

We're running out of time, so what should we do first?

Well, I don't know.

Hmm. The legend of Draupnir?

Good idea.

After all, the legend helped you find

the nine pillars, Hugo.

Wait a minute.

I remember seeing a stone engraved on one of the pillars.

Could that have been wyrd?

So it must be linked somehow

to the other symbols on the pillars.

But we've already encountered them all

and nothing happened.

Not all, Hugo. Not every symbol.

Of course, we're missing the most important one.

Which one?

The symbol on the center pillar, the sword.

And just where do we find this famous sword?

We don't have any clues to follow,

or the time to search for it.

Loki have his dragon form back any day now.

Maybe we don't need to find the sword.

We could forge one instead.

Forge the sword.

Turstin, that's a great idea.

This is a job for me.

Besides, my father's been asking me what I'm going

to forge as my great masterpiece.

What if we connect the symbols?

What if we engrave wyrd on the sword Turstin's gonna make,

maybe that will help us unlock its power.

What do you think, Algythe?

If the heir of Rollo held a sword bearing

the most powerful of runes,

then surely that day the gods would be with us.

I'll prove to my father that I'm ready

to be a real blacksmith

and we'll finally put an end to that demon, Loki.

Turstin, what we need goes beyond mere skill.

The finest blacksmiths in the world are not enough

to craft this mighty blade.

We need a metal that is as legendary

as the rune you will engrave upon it.

I need a special kind of metal?

Yes, an ordinary metal is not strong enough

to merge with wyrd and defeat Loki.

The sword must then be forged out of the strongest material

that exists on this earth.

And where do I find it?

Hmm.

I have no idea.

Father, he's the best blacksmith around.

If anyone knows of this metal, it would be him.

I'll go ask him right away.

(Algythe chuckles)

And as for me, I will return to study my parchments

in order to see if we can link the wyrd to the sword.

It might provide us with a decisive advantage.

Hmm, Wace, Lil Goles,

you two stay here with the Grand Goblin.

Hmm.

Alice and I will go tell Osborne the news,

and then we'll continue our training with Dagmar.

Let's go.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

Hmm?

Mom.

Alice?

Huh?

You're all right.

Oh, I'm so relieved you're safe.

I thought I'd never see you again.

But where have you been this whole time?

We found something.

We can still beat Loki if we can forge a special sword

to counter his powers.

Huh?

But I'll need to be trained in the use

of the weapon first.

We have all the space we need to train right here.

Hmm.

If you're training Hugo,

then I should know how to defend myself too.

(Hugo chuckles)

The day I let my daughter wield a sword in battle

is the day that she becomes a true viking.

Now let's get started.

(horn honking)

(metal sizzling)

Father, I did it.

I figured out what I wanna forge

to be a great blacksmith like you.

Hmm?

I'm gonna forge a sword, but not just any old sword.

I'm gonna forge a blade so strong that nothing can break it.

Hmm.

Well, it's good to be ambitious, son.

Hold this.

It'll even be able to split stone

and nothing will damage it.

(metal clangs)

The sword that I'll make will be the mightiest sword

ever forged in Normandy.

And have you considered how you'll make

this famous blade of yours?

Not exactly. I'll figure it out.

But I heard about this metal.

Very unusual, very special,

that's supposed to exist only in legend.

Hmm?

(hammer clangs)

I've heard many stories from other blacksmiths,

and among them, there was always one that fascinated me.

A special metal so tough that no forge,

nor blacksmith would be able to tame it.

It is said at the birth of the world.

(hammer clangs)

A tear from the goddess Freyja fell down to earth.

As the teardrop fell, it was transformed to metal,

and when it struck the ground,

it dug a hole that was incredibly deep.

And so it came to be lost for thousands of years.

The legend doesn't say where the teardrop fell?

You know, I believed it for a very long time,

but one day I came to understand that this fairytale

was nothing more than a way to explain

what a shooting star is.

What truly matters is what reddens in flame

and what I can do with the strike of my hammer.

(swords clanging)
(both groaning)

Good, Hugo. Quite the improvement.

(Hugo chuckles)

(Hugo gasps)

You never take your eyes off your foe.

(swords clanging)

(both grunting)

(sword clangs)

It's when we think we've won that mistakes are made.

You must stay focused, Hugo.

Mm-hmm.

(Alice and Cecile groaning)

(sword clinks)

(gasps) Very good, Alice. You beat me.

(giggling) My big sister is so strong.

That's the first time I've ever beaten her.

I didn't stand a chance.

She's certainly tough.

My turn, young warrior.

If you would permit me, Osborne,

I'd like to put her to the test.

(Osborne chuckles)

On your guard, Alice.

(spirited music)

(swords clanging)

Huh?

Ah, not bad.

This time, I'm not holding back.

(swords clanging)

Alice has changed.

She fights with the strength of an enraged bear.

You think? I'm sure it's just from carrying all that hay.

Alice, I don't know where this newfound strength came from

but it's not enough to beat me.

(both groaning)

(swords clang)

That's incredible.

(both groaning)

(swords clanging)

(Dagmar groans)

(sword clangs)

Father.

Dagmar, are you all right?

Oh fine. Nothing broken.

My sword, however.

(Alice panting)

I didn't mean to do that.

That's all right.

I just wish they'd told me my daughter

was stronger than a Viking chief.

You honor your ancestors, but in a real fight,

strength isn't everything.

You need to have good technique, but above all,

you need determination.

Hey everyone, listen to this.

Turstin.

Wyrd, it's been taken by those despicable humans.

Are you sure?

I felt this pulse of magical energy.

I know that it was that cursed rune created

by my father, Odin.

It's all because of that boy, the heir of Rollo.

Oh, yet again, he interrupts our plans, father.

He's even managed to secure the support

of that traitor, Sleipnir.

Sleipnir sided with Rollo when you two first fought,

and this time, the traitor works to prevent us

from reassembling the bones of your dragon skeleton.

My son has deceived his father.

He's chosen the wrong side.

We have to stop Sleipnir.

Maybe if you speak to him, you can convince him to join us.

I will not waste my time.

Long ago, I gave Sleipnir the chance to join me in my cause,

but my son did not agree with my vision.

What do you mean, father?

No matter.

What's important is that you, you remain with me.

You have the courage and loyalty Sleipnir lacks.

I've almost finished the ritual.

Once I've taken my dragon form, I'll be invincible.

The boy could still thwart us.

He had a strong connection with the other stones

that you destroyed.

Who knows what will happen if he unlocks

the power of that rune?

The chosen one must be stopped.

I suppose it couldn't hurt.

If you bring me wyrd, my power will be infinite,

and no one will be able to stop me.

Not even the gods of Asgard. (chuckles)

All right, Fenrir and I will leave immediately

to retrieve it.

After your repeated failures,

I sincerely doubt you'll succeed.

(Hela gasps)

In any case, with or without wyrd,

very soon, I'll be my old self again,

and I will crush the chosen one like an ant.

(Fenrir growls)

Yes, I know that legend.

To my recollection,

it pertains to the fall of a shooting star.

They say that it made quite the crater in the earth

before bursting into a thousand shards.

We've got to track down where that legendary star fell.

Then I'll have what I need to make this sword.

Ah, yes to be sure.

I just hope the legend is describing a place near here.

Hmm?

(Algythe sighs)

Yes, (indistinct) this morning

Two crows whispered something rare.

Do you hear the drumbeat in the air?

On each shoulder of the armored bear,

whose left eye one had to take

in the land of frozen lakes?

What did you see in the water?

What did you see?

Two crows whispered something rare.

Do you hear the drumbeat in the air?

On each shoulder of the armored bear

whose left eye one had to take,

in the land of frozen lakes.

What did you see in the water?

What did you see?

The well of Urd.
The well of Urd.

Yes, that's it.

There cannot be any shred of doubt.

The star's resting place then

is the old lair of the specter, Brunhilda, it's got to be.

We'll need the help of Lil Goles and Wace

to make sure that we can find our way there.

We'll pick them up from the Goblin kingdom

and be on our way.

(foreboding music)

I'd rather the metal was any place other

than the well of Urd.

I really don't like it there.

If it's Brunhilda you're afraid of, don't worry about it.

She's not in the well anymore.

Yeah, but you never can tell with spirits.

I'm keeping my guard up.

All right, let's go.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

You go on ahead, I'll stay up here and guard the entrance.

Hm.

Mm, you are not frightened of the well, are you, Turstin?

I'm not scared of nothing, wise guy.

But someone should stand guard outside

to watch your backs in case something happens.

(Lil Goles and Wace snickering)

(Turstin groans)

How are we supposed to find it?

We don't even know what this metal looks like.

I'm not sure.

We're just gonna have to look around.

Okay.

(Wace grunts)

(rock knocking)

(Hugo gasps)

(suspenseful music)

(sighs) There's no metal here.

(sighs) We made a mistake.

Guess the legend wasn't talking about the well of Urd.

Now where do we look? Could be anywhere.

Let's get back to Algythe.

Looks like we'll have to find another solution.

Wace, are you coming? We're leaving.

Hmm?

Hmm.

(foreboding music continues)

You didn't find anything?

Hmm.

Wace, let's go.

(Wace gasps)

(Wace cackling)

Hey, come back.

I could use a little help here.

He's in danger.

(Turstin panting)

(Turstin groans)

Why'd you call for help?

The metal, it's there. I saw it.

Huh?
Huh?

Are you sure it wasn't just Brunhilda's magic?

I'm telling you it's here.

Uh.
Uh.

(ethereal music)

Wow.

It really is here. (chuckles)

We found it, we found it.

We found it, ah.

We found the star.

(Hugo groaning)

It's buried too deep.

I can't move it at all.

Let me try.

(Turstin groaning)
(hammer clanging)

Huh? Oh no.

I've never seen anything so strong.

If we can't even get it outta here,

I don't really see how I'm gonna be able to forge it.

There must be some way to get the metal outta here.

Maybe, but it's not a question of strength.

Otherwise, I'd be able to do it.

Ha. Huh.

Huh?

What are you doing?

Let me try it, Turstin.

(Alice groaning)

(rock crackling)

Huh? How did she do that?

You know, ever since your encounter with that bear,

you've grown incredibly strong.

I sensed there was something different about me

when I bested my father.

We'll be able to make the sword now thanks to you.

But we don't know how long your strength will last.

We should probably mine as much of the metal as possible.

You're right.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

You are lucky I came along on this quest.

You never would've found the metal without my help.

You are right.

Thank goodness we don't have to go back to that place again.

We have enough metal to make at least...

(wolf howling)
Huh?

I think I heard something.

You're on our land.

(Fenrir growls)

Hela.

Don't even think about trying to escape.

Give us wyrd if you wanna get out of here alive

Why do you serve Loki, Hela?

His cruelty and hatred cause devastation wherever he goes.

Don't speak of what you don't understand.

I saw him.

During the ritual, I faced Loki,

and felt his thirst for destruction.

It's limitless.

No soul will ever matter to him. Not even yours.

He'll destroy you when you don't serve his purpose anymore.

Enough, boy, give me wyrd.

Mm-mm.

(Hela groans)

(Fenrir roars)

Look out.

(Hela groans)

(both panting)

After him. We need the rune.

(upbeat percussive music)

(tense orchestral music)

(Wace grunting)

(Hugo panting)

Oh.

This time, we'll finish the job.

(Fenrir roars)

(Hela yelling)

Come on, let's get outta here.

(Turstin panting)

(spirited orchestral music)

Ugh, not again.

It's Hugo and Turstin.

Are you all right?

We managed to escape,

but we lost the metal we were carrying.

And it's too dangerous to return to the well.

So we don't have enough?

(sighs) I'm afraid we don't.

(Wace grunting)

Can I get a hand over here?

(Turstin laughing)

You are the best.

Thanks to you, Wace,

we have enough metal to forge the sword now.

You did it.

Way to go Wace.

(Wace chuckles)

(rocks thud)
(Grand Goblin chuckles)

What you have in front of you is nothing less

than the metal of Ulfberth,

the metal used by the blacksmiths of the gods.

It is the metal we've been looking for.

This is a great discovery.

I'm proud of you.

With this find, you now have a chance to emerge victorious

in the final battle with Loki.

But the metal is so hard,

I don't even know how I'm going to be able to forge it.

You will find a way, Turstin.

To succeed in this, you must make a fire so hot,

that your forge can barely withstand its flame.

Mm-hmm..

Lil Goles.

Yes?
I sincerely thank you

for watching over Wace all this time.

It seems clear that you, Wace,

are the one who will build a bridge between humans

and all the creatures of the forest. (chuckles)

What do you think he means?

I'll tell you later, little buddy.

(Grand Goblin chuckles)

(Wace grunting)

(Wace whimpering)

Take my staff, Wace. It is yours now.

Wow.

Thanks, Grand Goblin.

It's a great honor.

It is time for you all to face your destiny.

Defeat Loki and save Normandy.

(ominous orchestral music)

My Lord.

Continue the hunt.

We will find the giant wolf that stalks the forest,

and we will rid Baligan of this monster.

Huzzah
Huzzah

Long live our lord.
Long live our lord.

Death to the wolf.
Death to the wolf.

Everyone keep your eyes peeled, we'll find it.

There is also a friend I must find,

while here in the forest.

Hmm.

And hopefully, I'll find some trace of Ulrich.

(ominous orchestral music)
