A roar coming up from ahead makes everyone stop fighting to see what comes forward.
A giant made of rock approaches, and when one Asgardian comes up from the side to attack, it promptly was swept away by its weapon
"All yours."
I look over at Lady Sif and grip Mjolnir as an enemy made of rock comes my way as I stand tall surrounded by all in the battlefield
As I walk over, the stone giant lets out a mighty roar and slams the ground with his weapon, shooting up bits of dirt from the ground up into the air
"Hello."
He lets out another roar and the men behind him cheer victoriously
"I accept your surrender."
They all start laughing but soon stop once I deliver one single blow and leave only a pile of rubble where the monster once stood
I survey the bevy of racketeers and rhetorically ask "Anyone else?"
The bandits give a defeated sigh and all lay down their weapons and kneel on the uneven ground
"Perhaps next time we should start with the big one," suggests Fandral sounding exhausted
Right just when the sun starts to set, glimmering on the horizon, the rest of the standing Asgardian forces left standing start to lead all the new prisoners away back to Asgard where they will face justice.
Children are once again running and playing while everyone tries to mend the broken pieces of their homes destroyed in battle
"Where do we go next?"
"Hogun, the peace is nearly won across the Nine Realms. You should stay here with your people. Where your heart is. Asgard can wait."
"You have my thanks," Hogun said with a tone of happiness
We shake hands and give each other grateful smiles for a new battle won
"As you have mine" I conferred
He walks back towards his people and I turn my head upwards towards the sky speaking out towards an old friend
"Heimdal, when you are ready."
The Bifrost appears and transports me back to Asgard, my home.

"Is Vanaheim secure?"
"As are Nornheim and Ria. Though our work would have gone more quickly with you at the fore."
