# Quote — Neil Gaiman, Norse Mythology

> Nothing will remain of the armies of the living and of the dead, of the dreams of the gods and the bravery of their warriors, nothing but ash.
>
> Soon after, the swollen ocean will swallow the ashes as it washes across all the land, and everything living will be forgotten under the sunless sky.
>
> That is how the worlds will end, in ash and flood, in darkness and in ice. That is the final destiny of the gods.
