Great waves sprung into the air, bringing tidal waves and destruction to the earth. All living mortals were washed away. As the waters of the sea covered everything.
7. What did Odin do when faced with all the destruction?
Odin retreated to the well of Mimir. He dipped his hands into the Well of wisdom and asked Mimir what he should do as the leader of all the gods and goddesses. Mimir advised Odin to take the Aesir to Virgrith, crossing over the rainbow bridge that separated the world of the gods from the world of the frost giants. There, a decisive battle for control of the universe would be fought.
