Nightmares
Demons haunt my taunted mind
I'm scared
My death's foreseen ungloryful
Please father
Make my demons disappear
Please mother
Death is everywhere
My son, I've seen your fear
I have felt your pain
No harm will come to you
An oath has been sworn
The evil forces around us
Still want to destroy me
Who is the evil slayer
I cannot see
Loki, the deceitful God
Discovers a simple mistletoe
Pointed for H der the blind
By the jealous Loki
The mistletoe cuts through the skin
And into the heart of the bright one
Silence spreads throughout the hall of Aesir
As the God of light falls to his knees dying
Sorrow throughout the nine worlds
The bright God is gone
Sent to Nifelheim by the deceitful

Now, I don't mind admitting that I had to catch up on my Norse mythology for this one, but it was well worth it. Why do bad things happen to good gods, eh? the inevitability of fate ( otherwise developed as free will versus determinism) or the jealous envy towards all things virtuous - themes carried over into Christian mythology, along with other concepts like Hell.
Not only did you show a terrific grasp of the story, but you rendered it quite beautifully in prose.
A giant rasberry to all those on line philistines who sidestepped this one!
