The world was ending, and humanity was facing its final moments. The gods of mythology, long thought to be mere legends, had returned to exact their revenge on humanity that had turned its back on them.
The gods and their armies marched across the earth, laying waste to cities and civilizations. The few remaining humans huddled in fear, praying for a savior to deliver them from certain doom.
But the gods were unrelenting, and it seemed that all was lost.
Until one day, a young woman stepped forward. Her name was Sigrun, and she was a Skald - a bard of ancient legend, gifted with the power of song.
Sigrun stood before the gods, and she began to sing. Her voice was pure and powerful, and it echoed across the land, reaching the ears of every living being.
The gods were struck by the beauty of her song, and they paused in their destruction to listen. And as they listened, they began to remember why they had once been worshipped. They remembered their love for humanity, and the bonds that had once existed between them.
And so, the gods came to a decision. They would not destroy humanity, but instead, they would offer them one final chance. The gods would select thirteen of their own to engage in a series of duels against thirteen champions selected from among the humans.
If the humans emerged victorious, they would be allowed to live in peace. But if the gods emerged victorious, they would destroy humanity once and for all.
The Record of Ragnarok was created to commemorate this final battle, and to record the names of the thirteen gods and the thirteen humans who would determine the fate of the world.
Sigrun was chosen to be one of the human champions, and she approached each of the other champions, inspiring them with her songs of bravery and hope.
And so, the final battle began.
The gods were powerful, but the humans were determined, and the duels were long and hard-fought. But in the end, it was Sigrun who emerged victorious, her songs of love and hope-inspiring her fellow champions to overcome even the greatest of odds.
The gods, impressed by the bravery of the humans, honored the terms of their agreement. They disappeared back into the heavens, leaving the world to the humans.
And Sigrun, the Skald who had saved the world, continued to sing her songs of hope and love, inspiring humanity to build a new world, one based on peace and understanding.
The Record of Ragnarok was remembered for centuries to come, a testament to the power of music and the courage of the human spirit. And Sigrun's songs were passed down from generation to generation, reminding all who heard them of the hope and love that had once saved the world.
