Listen...
:00:13
The wind tells a story,
one that took place a long time ago -

:00:19
- when Yggdrasil, the Tree of Life,
stood in the centre of the world.

:00:25
In Asgard,
land of the gods of the Vikings.

:00:31
Here lived the one-eyed Odin,
king of the gods -

:00:35
- and the mighty Thor,
god of thunder.

:00:44
From all over Asgard, the gods
would gather here, in Valhalla -

:00:51
- the greatest castle of all.
:00:55
Here they received the worship
of mortal men -

:00:59
- which gives strength
and life to gods.

:01:03
From Valhalla,
Odin surveyed the three worlds -

:01:07
- and from here,
he sent out his ravens.

:01:12
To gather news from faraway lands.
:01:20
Beyond the land of Utgard -
:01:23
- home of the race of trolls
whom men called giants -

:01:28
- the lords of darkness and chaos...
:01:33
Beyond Utgard was Midgard,
land of humankind.

:01:39
Home of proud Vikings
and industrious farmers.

:01:43
From time to time,
the gods went to Midgard -

:01:47
- to visit their human worshippers.
