Ragnarok V: End of the Line

At the front of the train, Loki emerges. She is fled by the things she passes, who recognise one touched by the outer gods. In the blood-soaked engine room, Sigyn kneels, collapsed in despair. Loki touches her shoulder, and they embrace. With tears flowing freely, Loki explains what they have to do. They cannot prevent what they have touched following them into our world, but they can delay it. Keep the train on the track as long as possible. Together.​

There’s been so little time to share

We’ve always had our loads to bear

I won’t forget

I won’t leave you

This time, this time

They uncouple the carriages behind and Loki lays upon the altar. Sigyn pushes a single line into her wife's heart and holds it tight. All she lets through is a drip drip drip, flowing through the glyphs and gears. When Loki's heartsblood is gone, the train will arrive, but until then, they are together. Through the pain, Loki kisses Sigyn.​

Goodbye my love, yet shed no tears

The lives we've shared have brought us here

I will stay by your side

I’ll hold on through

This time, this time
