Erik he comes out of the trance and sees how Slime is under attack, but Slime flies to the side at the last second. It is Fenris wolf’s that are back. The Fenris wolf lands on all four legs on the ground. The ground shakes so hard that Erik loses balance. Mode sees how Erik comes back to normal and has lost his protection. Mode runs up to Erik and he lifts him up. Fenris the wolf sees his chance and rushes towards Erik and Mode. Mode shouting: "Think fire!"

Erik wonders what he means and Fenris the wolf getting closer. Mode screams out again: "Think of the fire!"

Erik he thinks of fire. His eyes light turn red again, but this time he begins to burn all over his body. Erik panics and spins around and fire coming out of his hands and the fire are spreading around him and Mode. Fenris the wolf stop outside the ring of fire and Erik sees the beast shows his teeth and goes around the fire. Slime sees his chance and breathes fire on Fenris wolf that are howling from the pain. It burns on Fenris the wolf’s back. Fenrir trying to roll to extinguish the fire, but cannot. It decides to run away down to a nearby lake and jumping in. They hear how it sizzles and smoke when it hits the water. The wolf swim to the other side and start to shaking his body so there flying water as it rains over Erik and Mode. Fenris wolf howling and all the leaves around fall down slowly on the ground. The Fenris wolf runs up to the hill and jump over. Erik sees how the beast looks over the edge and his eyes light up. They hear how the monster disappears. Erik he's wondering and thinking how Mode knew that he could make fire. He takes Modes shaft and Mode turns around and he asks: "How did you know I could make fire? I did not know that!"

Mode becomes red on his face and understands that he has been revealed. Suddenly it lights up and smoke comes out of the body from Mode and real Mode arrives. He is eighteen years old and blonde like his father Thor. Erik, he is surprised and runs for a few yards. Mode says: "I am Thors son and I called Mode. I am here to help you so you can use all yours powers."

Erik responds with a surprised voice: "Is it Odin that has sent you?"

Mode he becomes surprised but do not want to lie and replies: "Yes, it is. We gods are worried about what will happen to you. An even darker time has come."

Erik asks: "Darker time? It cannot be darker than my mother was killed four years ago!"

Mode replies: "I understand that you are missing your mother now, but you need to protect yourself and your people."

Erik responds irritably: "It's what I doing. I always defend my people!"

Mode he sees that Erik gets angry and says: "Hey I am here to help you."

Erik shouts at Slime will come and Erik jumps up on Slime and says: "We need no help. Tell my father that!"

Mode looks astonished out and Slime lifts up in the air and fly toward King Village. They land inside the wall where Erik he jumps off and goes into his house and find some bread as he begins to eat at. Slime looks at him wonderingly and bumps with her nose and looking toward Erik with wide eyes. Erik he gets in a little better mood and hugs Slime. Erik he shouts: “Lisbet can Slime gets some fish before we go to sleep for the day!"

Lisbet replies: "Have lots of fish in the stock comes with a basket at once."

Lisbet she goes to get fish. Slime goes against her favorite spot near the fireplace. Lisbet comes with a basket full of fish she overturns on the tiled stone floor. Slime she breathes fire over the fish and they become grilled and eats them in a flash. Lisbet smiles and itches Slime under the chin and she starts purring like a cat. Erik he comes and lies down beside Slime that lay over one wing and they fall asleep quickly. Erik gets a strange dream in which he sees with someone else's eyes. He sees that he is in a cave and see many beasts that he never seen before. Especially a big beast pulling out corpses from the earth, and he points at them with a sword and corpse comes alive. He sees how he wanders further into the cave where there is the water and lots of fire coming out of the mountain. He walks towards the water and come to the water’s edge where he goes down on his knees and looks toward the water. He sees a face he recognizes. It is Skogul and he looks toward the water with big eyes and scream out with a deep voice: "This time you will die, Erik!"

Erik wakes up and his body is so hot and Erik looks at his hand that’s on fire. Slime wakes up too, and sees how Erik’s hand is burning and he has burning stripes that go around the body. After a while, Erik becomes calmer and hand stop burning. Erik faints from exhaustion. Slime is panicking and screaming like a bird. Lisbet comes rushing in and see that steam comes from Eric's body. She takes on him with his hand and burns. Lisbet hurry and fetch a bucket of water and throws at him. The water turns to steam quickly and Erik he wakes up and is feeling a little exhausted. Erik says exhausted: "I had a weird dream where Skogul resurrects the dead from the earth."

Lisbet she listens and gets big eyes and says: "If this is true, then you need to arrange more men. You cannot do everything alone. There may be thousands he revives."

Erik he replies: "I will talk with Ivar about this and explain that we need more men."

Erik he is all sweaty after all and whispers in Slimes ear: “Come, we fly down to the lake and swim a little."

Slime she jumps and leaps like a dog and waving her long tail. Erik tells Lisbet: "Let's go away for a while and take bathe."

Eva comes down from the stairs and hears that they are going for a swim. Erik sees Eva coming down. Erik falls into his own thoughts and see how Eva's hair rises and the heart begins to beat tougher. Slime sees how Erik looks silly on the face and pushes him so he wakes. Erik looks at Slime and blinks with one eye. Eva has now come down from the stairs and asks: "I ​​heard you’re going for a swim in the lake. Can I come with you?"

Erik cannot utter a word and clears his throat but then suddenly pushes Slime on Erik's back, and Erik says: ”Yes you can come with us and swim.

Eva, Erik and Slime go out and Erik sees Mode as watching him from a distance. Erik, he jumps up on Slimes back and stretches out his hand and Slime helps to lift gently Eva with the left paw. Slime she starts flapping their wings and they lift up the sky. They fly just under the clouds and Eva she sits behind Erik and hugging hard on Erik. After a moment they see the lake which is near the North village. They circulate around the lake and lands gently on the beach. Erik jumps of Slime and takes off his clothes, but Eva, she jumps in with clothes on. Slime sees how they throw water at each other and Erik shouts to Slime: "Jump into the water! Are you chicken?”

Slime looks around and taking a giant jump and lands five feet from Erik and Eva. There becomes a giant wave that pushes Erik and Eva little further away. Erik and Eva they laugh and have fun. Slime is hungry and dives into the deepest waters and flaps its wings as she flies on the sky and haves violent speed underwater. She sees a big fish and catches it quickly and come up on the beach where she plays with it like a cat does with a mouse. Erik and Eva see Slime has caught a big fish and they come up from the water and the fish lying on the beach. Erik asks if they can taste the fish and Slime she nods as a yes. Slime sprays fire on fish and Erik finds some wood that he throws near the big fish and the wood catches fire. Erik sees that it is something that observes them from the woods. Erik goes to Slime and whispers in her ear. Slime lifts up in the clouds and comes far behind and sail with her huge wings. Eva sees how Erik's eyes turn red and she says: "What is Erik. Is there anything wrong?"

Erik is a trance-like state and looks with Slimes eyes and Slime approaching where it rustled in the woods. Slime is now above and Erik sees what it is and come out of the trance. Erik goes to the forest and sees Mode is hiding in the bushes. He says to him: “I need no help. Tell it to Odin!"

Mode, he is completely silent and does not response to Erik and the wind suddenly begins to increase. Slime lands beside Eva and Erik he backs against Eva and Slime. They see how the wind spins around Mode and he follows with the wind up towards the air where the clouds splits and comes and a blue light appears and go. Mode disappears into Valhalla where he goes directly to Odin and explains what he has done and that Erik does not want any help. Odin, he gets angry and beats his rod on the ground. Below the lake where Erik, Slime and Eva are seeing it how it increases in storm and lightening a little further away. Erik he says: "Come Eva we go to the Kings village. A storm is near.”

Eva asks: "What did you say to that guy?"

Erik replied: "That guy is the God Mode and I told him that I did not need any help from Odin."

Eva, she thinks a little and says: "We may need help. We all know that Skogul wants revenge."

Erik he replies: "I and Slime can take care of him and I will send for many thousand troops to help us."

Both are quiet and they land in the King's village. Erik he jumps down and taking Eva's hand and helps her down from Slime. Slime bumping Erik with her nose and he says: “What is it!” Erik is a bit irritated.
