The air shrieks with the impact of god-forged metal. The ground is a ruin of shattered stone and scorched earth. Odin's single eye locks onto Atreus, his arm drawing back. The spear leaves his hand—a bolt of black fury aimed straight for the boy's heart. You see the arc, the widening of Atreus's blue eyes. Muscle and instinct take over. You surge forward, placing your own body in the path. The impact is a thunderclap in your gut, driving the air from your lungs. You collapse, the world tilting on its axis. Atreus is unharmed. But you are falling, and the All-Father's triumphant laugh crawls inside your skull. you, can you still hear me?
