DCXIV. The Vàlaskjàlf

At the end of the thousands of steps leading from the streets to the entrance of the castle, a giant chromed door stood in front of them: next to it, two huge golden statues.

"Hey, wait" Fulla said, resting a hand on Dag's shoulder and causing him to retreat, walking in front of him.

Soon after, the two colossal golden statues by the door came to life and crossed their long spears, preventing anyone from passing without permission.

Dag, who did not expect to see two inanimate objects moving, stepped back.

"I'm Fulla and he's the mortal the Alfather talks so much about. Let us through, he is waiting for us" the girl exclaimed with a serious expression as if she was not afraid of the giant humanoid faces that were looking at her.

The two statues depicted two colossal Viking warriors, identical in every detail: heavy armor covered their bodies and helmets horned their heads.

Both spears they held were similar to Gungnir, the infallible weapon.
