Chapter 30 Summary: “Somewhere Over the Rainbow, There’s Some Messed-Up Stuff Going On”

The group emerges in a building in Midgard. One of the gunshots they heard grazed Hearth, who’s bleeding. Magnus heals him, relieved he’s able to do so because after Blitz’s injury from the Skofnung Sword, he was afraid his powers wouldn’t work anymore. Blitz and Hearth go to Blitz’s home in Nidavellir to get some rest, and Magnus heads up to the roof, where he finds Sam and Amir conversing while Alex watches. Sam needed a male chaperone while she tried to open Amir’s mind to the Norse reality, and Alex is currently male so fulfills the requirement.

Despite her best efforts, Sam has no luck getting Amir to see Norse existence. As a mortal, his mind glosses over magic, and Sam’s Valkyrie powers won’t work in front of him. The easiest thing for mortals to see is the Bifrost (the rainbow bridge connecting Midgard to Asgard), which sometimes connects to a giant billboard of neon lights nearby. Magnus solidly tells Amir that they are going to look up and see the bridge at the count of three, and when he looks up, “a burning sheet of colors arced into the night sky” (246).
