Bjorn starts chopping wildly with his ax and hits hard on the guard who opened the door and has not a change to defend him. Bjorn hits on the shoulder and the ax comes out on the side of the stomach. The guard is split into two pieces and the people and all the kids start screaming. Ivar comes rushing out from the King's house and see how Bjorn eyes is glowing yellow. He sees how Bjorn strikes against people with his great ax. He tries to say something, but could not get a sound and continues to wield his ax on the people. The guards rush down from their towers and surrounds Bjorn and Ivar shouting: "Stop, he is mine!"

And he goes down slowly against Bjorn and takes out his sword and goes down on one knee and begging for Odin. Bjorn comes running towards Ivar that stand up and cut off Bjorn´s head. The body continues to run until it meets the wall of the house and fall together. Ivar takes up Bjorn's head and sees that his eyes are open and there are yellow but they quickly change to the original color that is blue. Ivar understands this is Skoguls work and calling on the soldiers for a meeting. They go into the King's house to sit around the large table. Erik he comes down from the clouds and sees that there is a body and blood on the ground. Slime lands gently and Erik says to a guard: "What is going on here?"

The guard named Johan replies: "Bjorn came in injured and was totally crazy and started to chop at the people."

Erik he looks around and sees that there are three dead bodies and some are injured. Erik says: "Where is Ivar?"

Johan replies: "He is in your house with the soldiers for a meeting."

Erik he says not a word and goes against the King's house and opens the door and walks in and sees that Eva shaking and scared. Erik goes to Eva and gives her a hug and says: "The danger is over." And pat her cheek with his hand.

Erik he goes down the stairs to the great hall and sees that Ivar and soldiers are sitting there and discussing. Erik goes over to Ivar and says: "What happened here?"

Ivar explain exactly what had happened and explained with eyes that they became normal after death. Erik he goes around the big table and says: "I have been in North village and arranged that it will over a thousand men here. They will begin their trek tomorrow morning."

Ivar stands up and hits the table with joy and says: "That's the best news I have had in a long time. We need these men."

All the soldiers begin to nudge each other and Ivar shouts out: "Tonight will be a party and the mead is flowing like gold in the throat!"

All soldiers are cheering and looking forward to quench their thirst with mead instead of spring water. Erik he shakes his head and walks away and goes over to Eva and comforts her while Slime goes on her usual spot in front of the fireplace. Lisbet comes with a big fat salmon that they had fished up in the river and put it in front of Slime start to lick her mouth and she gets up and pushes gently with her head against Lisbet and purrs like a cat. Slime Jets a little fire on the big fat salmon so it is completely black and swallows it whole. Slime puts his head over his one paw and falls asleep and snores so that red slime comes from her nose. It is starting to get dark and the party begins by presenting freshly grilled pork on the table and a big barrel of mead that all go and dip their full mugs. Slime is asleep and the festivities will continue during the night and Erik he is getting tired and goes up to his bed and fall asleep right away. He gets a strange dream and Slime gets the same dream and her wisps on the body turns red. They come into the dream and they see how Skogul is in the underworld and it's a big creature that drags human bodies from the walls and Skogul scratch them with his sword and they begin to wake up. They look with Skoguls eyes how he goes further down into the underworld and there are lights. He goes down in a big empty space where there is lava and it lights up everything and looks toward the sea of ​​monsters that raises their paws and hands. Suddenly, they see with somebody else eyes and see how Skogul come up with a platform where he raises his sword, and there is a lot of ​​beast cheering and raises their hands. They make a grunting sound. An unknown Valkyrie woman comes up on the platform and they are now looking with Skoguls eyes and Valkyrie woman approach Skogul and she looks deep into the Skoguls eyes and she screams and points to Skoguls eyes. They see how Skogul look at his shiny sword and see how Erik and Slime see through his eyes. Skogul says with a rasping sound: "Erik! Soon I will cut you in thousand pieces."

Slime wake up and look how red she is and screaming like a hawk and call on Erik, who wake up in a cold sweat and rushing down towards Slime and hugs her. They look deeply into each other's eyes and Erik hears a girl's voice: "Erik, we need help! We cannot cope alone against Skogul and his soldiers.

Erik runs and do not think that's true. He hears how Slime talks to him and shakes his head and gets really happy to have heard his sister's voice for the first time. Erik approaches Slimes eyes and looks deep inside again and thinks: “We can do this.

Slime is thinking: "No! We cannot. We must get the help from Mode!"

Erik is so proud that he does not want help from anyone and replies: "We need no help!

Slime thinking: "Listen to me, my beloved! We need help otherwise the Earth will be controlled by Skogul!"

Erik he runs and sits down on a chair and takes his hands over his ears and thinks of his mother and he thinks: "It is Odin, who created all gods and monsters and it is his fault that my mother is dead."

He hears a faint voice from Slime: "It is not Odin's fault that your mother has died. Odin has created all the gods, but Skogul creates all monsters and there is a constant struggle of good and evil."

Erik gets a lesson and is surprised at the response of Slime. He goes to Slime and looks deep into her eyes again and thinks: "I did not know that Skogul created the Shadow and the other beasts!"

Slime is thinking: "It's true! If you do not believe me so we can go up to Valhalla by the Tree of Life and ask all gods who is behind all evil."

Erik thinks surprised: "The Tree of Life what is it?"

Slime thinking: "The Tree of Life is the one who controls the weather and the balance between earth and Valhalla and gives life to all that exists."

Erik responds, thinking: "I will think about it, but we have to stay here in case they attack."

Erik he goes over to Ivar and the others who are still partying in the great hall and tells them: "Ivar, we have to reinforce the guards and increasing patrols around the village."

Ivar looks surprised and asks a question: "Why?"

Erik replies: "I ​​have seen that Skogul have thousands beast ready and he will attack soon."

Ivar and the others look at each other with wide eyes and they rush out quickly. Some of them getting up from chair to fast and they go dizzy and fall on the ground. Most of them wobble back and comes out and yells out to the guards: "Wake the others and increase the guards. No one will sleep tonight!"

After a few minutes of screaming a guard from the north side that is against Death's forest. The guard named Ragnar screams out: "Look over there! It shines and it's big!"

Everyone is going to the north side of the wall and they become completely terrified what it is.
