Epilogues for Lost Gods (Unwritten Runes)

Sigyn:

We survived Ragnarok and tried to usher in a new era.

Now the realms consist of two minuscule factions encamped in the remnants of Asgard and Vanaheim. But the gods are greedy. Anyone not under Asgard's control must fall.

When they come, they're going to win.

The realms are empty.

There's no one left to help us.

No one except the dead in Helheim.

Loki:

When I died, I took everyone with me.

Almost everyone.

I've waited for Sigyn every day, but she never comes.

Never dies.

Everyone down here knows what I did.

Who I am.

And I must live-exist-with the weight of that guilt, those scars.

She's going to come back someday, and I'm going to be alright.

Be better.

I'd do anything for her. I'd do anything to be with her.

If only she'd ask.

Epilogues for Lost Gods is a story about grief and healing, and is the final chapter of The Goddess of Nothing At All

Cat Rector grew up in a small Nova Scotian town and could often be found simultaneously reading a book and fighting off muskrats while walking home from school. She devours stories in all their forms, loves messy, morally grey characters, and writes about the horrors that we inflict on each other. After spending nearly a decade living abroad, she returned to Canada with her spouse to resume her war against the muskrats. When she's not writing, you can find her playing video games, spending time with loved ones, or staring at her To Be Read pile like it's going to read itself. Epilogues for Lost Gods is the sequel to her debut novel, The Goddess of Nothing At All. Find her on Twitter and Instagram at Cat_Rector Or visit her website, CatRector.com
