Outside

Battle ensues. The army almost defeats the Fire Giant rebels.

Surt arrives to call a ceasefire and return the other messengers.

Inside

The Communication Center directs all available hands to the god temples to activate the runic arrays with their force of will. Natives join in sharing the burden of sacrifice.

A white glow begins to build.

Outside

The gods are summoned back to Asgard and leave the audience with Surt in the hands of the Travellers.

Surt claims he did not order the battle of yesterday. Some do not believe him, and others beg for a chance to hear him out.

The diplomatic meeting continues, but Surt seems under the impression he holds the high hand.

Before battle can break out, a blinding white light interrupts them.

Inside

The gods are summoned to the center of their runes to pour their own lifeforce into it alongside the citizens'.

The white light builds to consume Asgard and bursts into the sky to cover all of Yggdrasil.

• In the first second of being blinded by white light, Travellers are given visions of the Tree whole and healthy. They feel the press of lips to their foreheads and a lyrical "Thank you" in their souls.
• Time is momentarily suspended. Day and night pass like the beat of hummingbird's wings. The seasons cycle through faster than a heartbeat before settling on spring.
• The red sky is completely erased and the sun burns white for five days. Looking upon it grants brief visions of canon conflict resolutions.
• Magma rises up to fill in the cracks in the ground. The geography of the world shifts and settles in a closer proximity.
• Surt is returned to infancy as a sign of the World Tree's renewal of life, giving the gods a chance to raise the Giants to live in harmony instead of discord. Basically this happens. The Fire Giants surrender out of confusion.
• Frigg awakens and goes around showering the Travellers in adoration, gratitude, and assurances that all worlds, including those unravelled previously, are thriving heartily.

• Unable to lie or actively compelled to blurt truths, consequences be damned
• Only able to communicate in poetry or song
• Given a nagging urge to (sincerely!) compliment anyone they come across
• Compelled to just hold hands with whoever they're near
• Caught under sprigs of magic mistletoe that seem to appear at arbitrary times at equally arbitrary places (though they can either be kissed or just wait a few minutes for it to disappear again)

As per the agreement between the gods and their Travellers, all persons within Asgard are humbly requested at the castle courtyard for enlistment in the Holy City's war efforts. Every individual is invited to find their resolve and seek out their purpose; this is the final stand in Ragnarok, and your help is needed now more than ever.

Enlistment is mandatory! Please see your local officials for more information.
