Heimdall

the watchman of the rainbow bridge

aether

Heimdall needs less sleep than a bird and hears the wool grow on the backs of sheep; he guards the bridge to the gods and will one day sound the horn that ends the world. To dream of him is to feel a part of you that never quite stops keeping watch.

Fragments

When at last he lifts Gjallarhorn to his lips, the note will reach every corner of the nine worlds at once — and none of them will mistake its meaning.

He was born of nine mothers at the world's edge, and given senses so keen that silence itself is loud to him.
