Mimir's Prophesy

A prophesy of Ragnarok, given by Mimir to his niece Hela.

Hela believed that if she could cause the events described in the prophesy, it would trigger Ragnarok. She interpretted the lines "The sun turns black, earth sinks in the sea / Fierce grows the steam and the life-feeding flame /Till fire leaps high about heaven itself" and "Winter shall fall, three times three / The mighty winter, and the earth grow dark" as referring to a massive volcanic erruption and subsequent volcanic winter. She therefore attempted to use Daisy Johnson's powers to trigger a supereruption in Yellowstone National Park.
