When it comes to mythology, most people forget that some parts are based on truth. Take for example, the accepted folklore of dragons, where most hold an accepted belief system that they never existed. The thing that is most baffling about them is that some amalgamation of dragons has existed in every culture since civilization has existed and no one has ever questioned why? This is the very reason why the Norwegian movie, Ragnarok was so fascinating when it came out in 2013.

It centers on two scientists who search for the mythological place in Norwegian Viking mythology known as Ragnarok. With the help of a guide, he, his research partner, and his two children head to where this place is historically, only to unearth something out of the runes, which no one could be prepared for. Sometimes, things long dormant should remain so. In the second installment of Scions: for the Kingdom of Earth, an ancient oligarch awakens and unleashes carnage.
