Description
Alpha Flight gather at the Eye of the World as they prepare to make the journey into the realm of the Beasts to save the soul of their slain teammate, SasquatchIn the realm of the Great Beasts, Snowbird encounters Somon the Artificer, leader of the Great Beasts, while three other Great Beasts make their presence known to the other Alphans. Alpha Flight’s ally, Box suddenly arrives at the Eye of the World, where team leader Heather Hudson waits for her team while guarding over Walter’s body – which begins to crumble. Snowbird engages Somon in battle, causing him to lose control over the other Great Beasts, who attack each other instead of the Alphans. Shaman stops Snowbird from killing Somon, as they need him to save Walter. Somon takes them to the Well of Sorrows and informs them that the ones who love and hate Walter and one of great power must go into it to get Walter’s soul. Aurora, Northstar and Talisman go into the Well, only to learn Somon tricked them, and they are killed. Sensing her teammates’ deaths, Snowbird kills Somon as Shaman pulls their bodies from the Well. Shaman realizes that Walter’s soul is in fact the sphere above them, and Walter uses his life force to resurrect the three fallen heroes. Shaman recovers what remains of Walts’ soul and they return to the Eye of the World, only to learn that his body has been totally destroyed. Not all is lost however, as Roger is removed from the Box armor and Walter’s soul sent in to it, as a temporary body. With that Snowbird declares her time on Earth is done and departs for the realm of the Arctic Gods, however in fact she goes to her lover Doug Thompson, for she has been a goddess and a hero, and now wants to be human.
