• Heimdall sent Feeney and Thor's group to the battlefield in Vanaheim, where an archer shot at Feeney as he arrived.

• Njord invited Feeney to speak privately in a secluded garden and said he had once received a prophecy.

Njord told Feeney that a prophecy named a Savior who could avert Vanaheim’s coming disaster, and asked him to promise to save the realm. Feeney suspected the prophecy might refer to Thanos’s Snap and agreed to consider the promise in exchange for Njord’s Ocean Pearl.

• Njord explained that Vanaheim’s prophecy foretold a disaster and said he believed Feeney was the prophesied Savior because divination could not see through him.
