DCXVIII. The Hlidskjàlf

Dag's soul, as if it had just separated from his body, was fired at great speed over the window, passing the glass and exiting the tallest tower of the Vàlaskjàlf.

Flying at incredible speed, Dag managed for a few moments to look around, noting that he had already overcome all the city of Asgard, leaving it behind him.

As if he was a small meteor, his ethereal and invisible body swooped towards Skjold, barely visible from the height where Asgard was, impossible for anyone to reach.

Taking a final look at the floating city, Dag noted that the Bifrost, the sacred rainbow bridge, was broken: the enormous fractures that plagued it for many years were blackened and imbued with a strange purple substance, very similar to the dark matter.

The indestructible bridge connecting the sky to the earth, Asgard to Skjold, had been destroyed by the Xis.
