Grimnír pants heavily as he catches his breath. He doesn't have much strength left, and Alice isn't stopping. As he watches, the magician draws another spell card and begins chanting. He won't be able to block this attack. Is she really going to kill him this time?

"No," he whispers. "I'm not going to die here!"

His bracelet begins glowing strangely. Engraved upon it is a serpent biting its own tail. The eyes of the snake flash bright red as he watches. Then, he begins to understand.

Grimnír raises his staff as he chants a new spell. He can feel the power of the elder gods fill him as he utters each command word. This once forbidden magic is in his hands. The possibilities are endless.

He smiles confidently at the dollmaker. Alice doesn't stand a chance.

"Hey, are you alright?"

...

"Whu-what?" he mutters sleepily.

"Are you alright?" asks a familiar voice. "You were talking in your sleep."

Grimnír opens his eyes to see Alice standing over him. She looks a bit worried.

"I'm fine, I think," he manages. "I guess I was dreaming..."

"What was that spell?" she asks suddenly. "You were muttering command words."

"Huh?"

Grimnír closes his eyes as he tries to remember, but he can't recall much of the details. But he can remember something else. A single word.

"Jörmungandr," he whispers.

"..."

"Er... sorry, I don't really remember, ahahaha..."

Alice frowns at him. This time, her expression is grave.

"D-did you see Yukari again?" she whispers.
