The Adventures of Dean Myrin Dean Myrin, just another boring Norse architecture teacher whom until recently was the most boring teacher at Ragnorak High School. He was an ordinary six-and-a-half-foot-tall four hundred and fifty pounds of muscled ex-Marine, until one day while he was inspecting an Old Norse excavation site below the Arctic Ocean. This particular site was said to be the gateway to Helhiem, the Norse realm of the dead. The place had an eerie look as you view it through the lens of the undersea camera. Tall, vaulted doorways, massive iron chains keeping the gigantic drawbridge from opening as eight giant statues of Norse warriors held the chains in place as their swords were through the chain links.

This upon a closer look revealed that there were ancient mystic runes that he could not decipher because they were moving around too fast. Then suddenly the wall melted away and he was sucked into a chamber by the change of pressurization and he was knocked unconscious by the sudden acceleration. When he awoke he found himself surrounded by strange, odd, creatures. They had wings and arms and
