Outside the King Village Erik he jumps up on Slime and waving to everyone in the village. Slime begins to beat with their huge wings and the people defend their eyes with the hands so it may not grit them. They lift up in the air and people waving to Erik and Slime. Slime looks down on the village and smiles while he gives a bird -like sound. Erik he turns red in the eyes and think: "You know where to go, Sister?"
Slime thinking: "Yes. Hold on tight. Now we will fly fast! ”And look toward Erik, with his one eye and smiles from ear to ear.
After a few hours flight to the North, they come to the west side of the forest and they see soldiers walk underneath and they are on their way to King's Village. Erik, he is smiling and looking down and thinking: "Yes soldiers are coming. Now I can slack off a little."
Slime thinking: "Saggy not too much we have many hours of travel to the Tree of Life which is high up in the North."
They have flown eight hours and Erik he thinks: “Are we there yet?"
Slime thinking: "A few more hours and we are there."
Meanwhile, at the west side of Death's forest. Sigurd he goes and farts all the time and in the end he may be at the end on the line because everyone doesn’t like the smell. Sigurd is tired and tells Olav: "The men are getting tired now. Best we camp here."
Olav answers: "Good thinking Lars. Give the signal that we should stop here and make camp for the night."
The soldiers stops and sits down and is completely tired after the long walk. Some goes to fetch firewood but Olav is shouting: "Men do not go into the forest of death. Then you are gone forever!"
Everyone nod as a yes. They look for branches that have blown away and find a large log that they carry and put it down on the ground. They set it on fire and soon it becomes heat and more light. They throw more branches that they have collected so it is enough for the whole night. Everyone starts eating food. They bring with them bread and dried fish and meat. Lars rides around with his black horse and gives the order to one hundred people to take the first guard, and after four hours, they shall be replaced. Inside the Death forest, Skogul he draws his sword on the ground and another creature that is white as snow. The creature has a dog with him. They go down into a burrow. Up in Valhalla Odin and Loki seen everything and Loki, he gets angry and break things. He takes his mead cup and throws it on a wall. Odin tries to calm down and he eventually calms Loki down. After a few minutes he can breathe again and says: "Dad, you know who is with Skogul? You saw it or not?"
Odin replies: "Yes, I saw who it was. It is your daughter Hel. Now we know who is behind all this!"
Loki says: "She's not my daughter anymore. She is the ruler of the underworld. You know what she's doing. She cuts the nails from all dead to build a ship. How crazy is that!"
Odin replies: "Yes, I know she is crazy. But do not forget that she is the Ruler of the underworld and she is the ruler of the death."
Loki responds: "But can Erik handle her?"
Odin replies: "Not her. She has great powers. By the way, Erik is on his way here and will be here soon."
Loki responds with surprise eyes: "Is he coming here soon to Valhalla? What has happened? He hates you so much!"
Odin replies: "Well we see what he wants. He is almost here."
Meanwhile down at the soldiers outside the Death forest. It is almost getting dark and most of the soldiers are resting. Sigurd he has fallen asleep and snoring. The others throw small stones at him so he will stop snoring. But suddenly he wakes up and starts to shake. The other looks with big eyes and wonder what it is? They go to him and get to see an awful sight. Sigurd is full of ants and insects, and the men cannot see Sigurd. The men hear the insects come out of the Death forest and it sounds like millions of pebbles would have landed on the ground. They see how the insects eat him and there only bones left. Lars blows with its horns. Everyone starts running more westward. Ninety men do not have a change to run away from the bugs and quickly becomes overwhelmed by the ants and insects. It takes just seconds, so it's only bones left. Lars shouting: "Out of the vast field now!"
Lars brings with him a stick that burns and runs out onto the field. The insects almost take him but suddenly Lars beating with the stick in the tall grass and it catching fire. Lars run fast and has the fire stick as close to the ground as possible and catch fire. The wind that blows against the Death forest and ants are burned. Cockroaches are burning too but the insects can flies back into the forest of death. The soldiers see how large masses of ants get fried. The soldiers cheering only briefly as they remember that many men have died. They go around to see who has fallen but they cannot recognize any of them for they are only bones left of them. Lars goes to Olav and says: "We cannot stay here. We have to go further west and stay away from the Death forest."
Olav says: "You're right. Tell the men to pack their things and we go again for a few hours to the west. "
Lars he blows the horn and shouting: "Pack your things. We are moving more toward the west."
The soldiers they pack up their things and Lars blows on his horn. The soldier’s stands and looks at the bones and wave at them and some yells out: "Live well our friends."
While at Erik and Slime. They see now the Tree of Life. Erik he looks with big eyes and thinks that's not true. The tree is as wide as the widest lake and is so high that you cannot see where it ends. The tree is on a large island and the south side of the tree grows the branches and big beautiful green leaves. The north side is just white with snow, it's just snow and ice while Slime thinking: "I am flying so high I can and take hold of the tree. And then we climb up to Valhalla. Just hold firmly."
Erik thinks: "Ok. I hold firmly. "
Slime she takes off and flies as high as she can and the two become completely red for it’s getting really cold up there. Slime flaps its large wings as long as she can and trying to get hold of the tree.
