Good job, Coal.
Thistil Mistil Kistil
by Sarah Schanze
Velkommen!
Thistil Mistil Kistil is a comic about vikings, Norse gods, and their adventures together (or against each other). Updates are on Thor’s Day.
Coal can defy fate because he ‘achieved’ his fate by dying. What he is now isn’t human and so the Fates themselves won’t be able to ‘see’ what he does.
Can’t they negotiate with Odin to let them go like he did with Coal? A moment of pain and the whole party is superpowered :p
Coal you didn’t ask for the timeframes on those deaths. They are all mortal and will die someday anyway.
My first thought, too. Everyone’s fate is death, in the end.
That’s a common theme in myths, where knowing what to ask and understanding what you’re told can make all the difference.
One other thing that also comes to mind when I think about this is what Odin said before he sent Coal away…
“If you don’t kill them before you reach Helluland, I will.”
I wonder if for some reason Odin CAN’T act until they reach Helluland, or if going to Helluland will force Odin’s hand somehow…
Not going would seem like a betrayal to Arne if he won’t come clean about his task and subsequent orders though.
aw, poor Sig. must be so tough… 🙁
