Thalindra on her horse racing through the gates of Makar straight to Sigra to see the state in which her husband is in. As she runs up where he is, she sees him standing in the made by the world serpent and realizes she is all but too late to aid any with any help. All she could do now is comfort and be there for Masaru.
The world even outside of Odal shakes as the world serpent takes his place in the sea where he belongs encircling the entire world waiting for Masaru's call.
Meanwhile in Makar a funeral is held for Magnus at The Parting Falls. The Parting Falls is a location in which a waterfall drops far down in which where all the dead are sent off to when it's their time.
Lady Victoria, her son's and daughter, The Hand of the King Alvis, and all of Makar and the West all attend.
Malakas is seen in a state of grief and anger at his father's funeral
Mista is seen in a state of Heartbreak as she can't hold back the tears
Lady Victoria speaks to her son Masaru as she wipes away her tears and as they watch the once former king and her husband and the father of her children be laid to rest. "Your father and I both knew this day would come eventually Masaru. They day you would be King, has come. And at a very horrid price but that is why you have no other but to succeed even greater than your father did and end the threat in the South once and for all, my son."
All of Makar and the West Shout "Forever Hail King Magnus!!!!!"
After the funeral is over all meet back in halls of the throne room where Queen Regent Lady Victoria speaks to everyone on the future of Makar. Everyone shouting and arguing amongst one another of what is to come next "Quiet everyone! Everyone quiet! Everyone!!!" Shouts Victoria and then Masaru uses his Osteomancy to get everyone to shut their jaws. Still shouting but stops mid way seeing everyone being forced to focus on her. Looking at her son with disappoint and he shrugs his shoulder in a "Oh Well They Weren't Listening" type of gesture.
"Now that I have everyone's attention it's time as your Queen Regent to discuss the future.
We will crown a new king in a hours time. Being that all are already here to witness."
Masaru walks off to gather himself before taking the throne
Everyone whispering amongst themselves "So soon? Really that soon? Why do soon?"
Victoria shouts "Quiet!" And silence goes throughout the entire room. "We are still very much at war with The South. Danger looms everyday now. Cath and his armies will be back so we must ready ourselves to attack first and under our new king's rule we shall. We will not forget nor forgive this act from The South. Too much carnage. Too much death have we been plagued with from The South. We must end them!!!"
Thalindra walks up to Masaru but he walks past her after touching her face in a romantic way signaling he needs some space. Masaru feeling the weight come down on him as he must not only lead and rule Makar and the West but he must one day do the same for all of Odal.
Meanwhile somewhere across the sea Bolverkr is seen walking on a different continent far from Odal. "So the world serpent has returned. More reason in my leaving, must prepare all the cards for the deck in order for Master Chaos to prevail" says Bolverkr.
Back at Sigra, the coronation of a new monarch, of a new king begins
Aelarion speaks to his daughter Thalindra
"Today you become Queen of Makar, my sweet Thalindra. How you have made this family, this house proud!" Says Aelarion
Thalindra smiles but then starts to sulk "Yes father I'm glad to do so but I'm afraid of what's to come and what to become of Masaru he has now three Metnaðrs and the ancient texts of our ancestors speak of the dangers of one holding so much power with just two Metnaðr and that was said to be the most one could possess and what it does to those who give into grief. Into the darkness. He has just lost his father and he feels he could have prevented it if he were here from the start and I blame myself for pushing a distant home for him and I to realize who we were without you all and no matter how short it was of he were here regardless bwe know he could have stopped it. I just don't know what is to come and it's scaring me daddy!!" Cries Thalindra to her father
Aelarion hugs his daughter and tells her "Thalindra look at me you're not to blame. If not for his father's last ambition being Masaru has his Metnaðr which is said to be an impossible task for any Metnaðr he would have never even been able to hold off Cath. Masaru lost to Cath without it and Cath was hurt on the surprise by Magnus so without his father Metnaðr the damage would be far greater and Cath would probably be King of Odal as we speak. Now get ready for your husband's coronation."
"Yes father" she replied
The halls of the throne room is lit with a extravagant setting with the hall walls being stone black and the floor blood red and the piilars holding up the ceiling of Sigra's throne room treasure gold
The drums beat as their new king walks down the halls of the throne room.
Masaru a Northerner of Origin with long silver white-ish hair and dressed in royal white with cold black gems with a one sided cape bearing his house's sigil which is best known as a skull with blood red eyes engulfed in purple flames and he wore a black crown with dark red gems in it. The same crown his father Magnus wore. And his wife the now Queen and Lady Thalindra an elf dressed in royal white dress with long black hair with blonde streaks in a braided style and wearing a crown in all black like Masaru but fit for a queen but with purple and green gems resembling the purple flames of her husband's house and the green resembling the colors of her house.
"Ladies and gentlemen I present the Hand of the former and to become king Alvis" says a Royal spokesperson
Alvis is a middle aged Northern man but strong built, with short slicked back white hair shaved on the sides And possessed a powerful Metnaðr in his own right.
"People of Makar I present in all his glory our new king the oldest son of King Magnus and the Lady Victoria, bringer of the monster trio Fenrir, Jörmungandr, and Niðhöggr, I present Masaru Malakar. I present the Skull King!!!!!" Shouts Alvis.
Masaru looks at Alvis in shock knowing he has only brought upon two of those monstrosities and in return Alvis looks at him in a way that resembles "You don't know what you're capable of yet boy" type of way.
"The floor is yours, My King" says Alvis
Masaru speaks "I will not sit here and act as if my first act as King is not an act of war because it will be. I cannot promise you all the luxurious pleasures or even the basic necessities of life until the attacks from Cath's and his Kingdom are no more. Everyone follow me outside to the front gates. Yes come everyone. Everyone."
Leading everyone to the front gates, where still the corpses of a dead lie.
"Here lies the dead of Cath's slain soldiers. As well as some of ours. Today they all become ours as they will be born anew." Says Masaru
"Sacred Metnaðr: Skeletons of the Dead come forth" says Masaru and in this moment the skeletal remains of the dead no matter how damaged formed anew. New soldiers with new forms and not just any new form but ethereal reconstituted soldiers. Where flesh and muscle was it was then replaced with blue flames encompassing the entire soldier and these soldiers were then known as the Soldiers of the Blue Flame.
Sparking an insanely amount of powerful aura the people of Makar and the West cheer "Hail the Skull King! Hail the Skull King! Hail the Skull King!" as victory looks to be the only result they see in their Kingdom's future. Aelarion cheers. Mista and Malakas stand by their brother firm and by his side in this grand reveal. Thalindra looks on with a smile but fears her King's future possible corruption.
Meanwhile in the South in the fires of mountain as they burn hotter than ever.
Cath is seen with lava and the fires of the mountain soaking him and renewing his strength. In a horrid haunting voice Cath speaks "This may be my last battle as the embodiment of Chaos but that means the next shall take it's place. Let's make this one worth it." Cath says with that same ole' same sinister grin of his.
Some place else in the mountain is seen a place of two huge firey balls that look to be swirling and within all that is life in which one holds Maw the next embodiment of Chaos and the other holds two babe large wolf pups
All under the care and nourishment of the primordial cosmic cow Auðumbla
