This verse is a scene I've wanted to do for awhile now. I love the concept of Nithhogg, the dragon at the base of the world tree, devouring the souls of evil men.

Voluspa - Norse Mythology Book - Verse 39

“ I saw there wading |  through rivers wild

Treacherous men |  and murderers too,

And workers of ill |  with the wives of men;

There Nithhogg sucked |  the blood of the slain,

And the wolf tore men; |  would you know yet more?”
