Grandfather, or maybe great uncle Odin, wrote a song for Arthur. I'm sure it has more information that we can use to figure out what's going on with the forces fucking with him and using him. The lyrics are as follows:
You've survived on broken dreams And broken lives and expectations Nothing exactly what it seems Unseen shadow machinations
The hand of chaos in the dark of the new moon The starry ship slips through the fingers You reach above, you grab another rung The ladder right beneath you splinters
Dies Irae, the day of reckoning Anger's remorse unknown til then Can't see right until it's happening An Elder God restored by man
The darkness blankets your surroundings And yet the seer takes your hand She will lead you from the shadows But only you can make the stand
Why does a King desert his kingdom? Both Gray and Black hold secrets deep Your clock rewound, a mouth for tooth is found A single timeline that will keep
Dies Irae, the day of reckoning Anger's remorse unknown til then Can't see right until it's happening An Elder God restored by man
The Sea of Night holds many wonders And many terrors that you'll face As you spiral ever higher You must begin the unsolved case
More than one lake becomes an ocean More than one King must claim his throne The shepherd's crook pulls back lost lamblings And only love will bring you home
Dies Irae, the day of reckoning Anger's remorse unknown til then Can't see right until it's happening An Elder God restored by man
Dies Irae by Old Gods of Asgard
You've survived on broken dreams
And broken lives and expectations
Nothing exactly what it seems
Unseen shadow machinations
The hand of chaos in the dark of the new moon
The starry ship slips through the fingers
You reach above, you grab another rung
The ladder right beneath you splinters
Dies Irae, the day of reckoning
Anger's remorse unknown til then
Can't see right until it's happening
An Elder God restored by man
The darkness blankets your surroundings
And yet the seer takes your hand
She will lead you from the shadows
But only you can make the stand
Why does a King desert his kingdom?
Both Gray and Black hold secrets deep
Your clock rewound, a mouth for tooth is found
A single timeline that will keep
Dies Irae, the day of reckoning
Anger's remorse unknown til then
Can't see right until it's happening
An Elder God restored by man
The Sea of Night holds many wonders
And many terrors that you'll face
As you spiral ever higher
You must begin the unsolved case
More than one lake becomes an ocean
More than one King must claim his throne
The shepherd's crook pulls back lost lamblings
And only love will bring you home
Dies Irae, the day of reckoning
Anger's remorse unknown til then
Can't see right until it's happening
An Elder God restored by man
