Hardly.

I'm not that easy to be rid of. I never have been. The Black Death couldn't take me. What makes you think that some mad norseman could? I'd laugh, but the time will come for that soon enough.

Oh yes, the meeting took place. That's no mistake. It's the events that happened there that aren't as they seem. I won't get into the details involved. What's done is done. But the end is far off. Or is it?

The beast is back.
