All told the dam was about six miles deep. Andrew directed Cindy where the structures
that anchored the spell woven into it were, she promptly destroyed them, while
Claire and Ken held off the undead Svartalfar.
Meanwhile I tore a hole six miles straight down to the water
beneath. It took me about four hours,
which I thought was pretty good time.
And once the hole was made the water pressure was able to finish the job
we’d all started, and tear straight through the dam. On a related note…riding a six-mile geyser of
water to the surface puts any ride at any waterpark to shame.
Once that was done we made our way back to the Norns we’d
met, briefly. They were looking a lot
better; younger, more vital. In
destroying the dam we’d also replenished their well. And it was apparent that it had rejuvenated
them. And Yggsdragsil as well.
They also warned us that, though we’d soon find ourselves in
Niffleheim, it’d take us exactly nine days to reach Helheim itself no matter how
slowly or quickly we travel. So long as
we actually travel, I imagine. So it was
seven down to the well, nine from the well to Helheim, when I asked Loki how
long it takes to reach Helheim from Midgard via Yggsdragsil the answer is
apparently sixteen days. Or twenty-four,
if you make the detour we did.
