sure, I'm game to use Keybreak's plot. I'm running out of tricks with Sleipnir/Wotan anyway.

The Danse Macabre CodexOh yeah,that's gonna turn out well. "Guten Morgen, mein herr. Does your installation have an aircraft hangar and fifty metric tons of hay? You see, we've been riding all night and my 10-storie horse is exhausted." Verily—I Mean, Neeeiiigghh!

The Danse Macabre Codex(Way I see it, no one'll be the Nazis (who all seem to be dead anyway), and we seem to have reached a Defeat Means Friendship situation with the horse and therefore Wotan.)
{{There may be a future Enemy Mine also.. But, methinks you should do the aftermath of the Alves fight and all. And I'll be needing to sleep now.}}

"He could not know it. For it was not all a joke."(You're running the Soviets and the elves here...)
Wotan, it seems our association against the fae has come to an end, and your believers scattered to the winds. MEN OF RUS!!! Let the horse pass your borders unscathed!!!
(Sorry, wrong speech mode for a while)

-The open-backed APC rumbles up to the group, conscripts with shovels jumping out; Brigadier Aleksandr sternly regards the Undying One and the Sleipnir.-
B.A.: I'm afraid that my country is not yet done with your services. The... Alemans have something. We don't know what it is, exactly, but my superiors wouldn't have had me ask you if it wasn't crucial. All we know is that this artifact is somewhere in Poland, and the fascists' best mages are working on it. Now, if you don't mind, I would like my Commissar back so he can be briefed.
"He could not know it. For it was not all a joke."I Appreciate Your Hospitality, Black God. I Will Go Now; Sleipnir's Wounds Will Return Upon My Releasing Control, And He Must Return To Asgard Before That Happens So That He May Recover Safely.
-sleipwotan kneels in respect, then turns and begins to walk away, then stops. The glowing orange ligns vanish, and he turns to regard the Brigadier.-
You would Have The All-Father's Steed Go To War Against Wotan's Own Followers? I Hope That Your Superiors Have Justification, Mortal, For Their Sakes.

The Danse Macabre CodexYou would presume to order me about, mortal? I am master of these lands, far before your little revolution brought you into power, far before the Peacewanter died on his cross. Your ancestors worshipped and feared me, son of the Rus, and rightly they did. Koschei is bound to guard my lands, and he will not follow you into another's domain.
-without pause, the Brigadier steps out of the APC and marches until he is three feet away from Koschei, dwarfed but somehow retaining authority as his steely gaze goes upward.-
B.A.: When the Tripartite and Politburo send a psionic to give one of their officers his orders, they are not messing around. This means whatever that German bastard is working on is a threat to the entire Soviet Union. Do you understand, deity? What are you if your "family" will be destroyed in a blink of an eye?
"He could not know it. For it was not all a joke."-Koschei looks down for a second, then resumes staring into space-
Truly you amuse me mortal. Your superior's dabblings in the manipulations are comparable to a small child learning to stand. I have nothing to fear, for I am eternal as the night, inescapable as your own shadow.
Your commissar's return is not in my hands. I do not choose the weak of mind as my champions, unlike certain frothing lunatics I could mention. Your commissar will return if he sees fit, and not at the beck and call of your masters.
Koschei!! It seems the man before you would have you bow to his authority.
-Koschei looks down again, maintaining eye contact this time-
Choose the wording of your orders with exceptional care, son of the Rus. It is you and you alone who will bear responsibility for his return...
-Sleipnir looks on with interest, breathing heavily-
You Have Seen How Your Own Deity Responds To Your "Commands," Mortal. How, Then, Could You Expect The steed Of The All-Father To Follow Them? Nay. I Will Honour The truce, But I Tell You Thus: Unless Your Masters Can Find Motive And Incentive Enough For Wotan's Proxy To Turn On His Own Followers, I Will Consider The Truce Broken.
The Danse Macabre Codex I'm guessing that the Nazis will be involved. In what capacity, though, I have absolutely no idea. Nevermind, Chabal already answered the question.

The Danse Macabre CodexSorry, ladies and gents, long day. Yes Nazis will be a major factor in the coming section.
-Thinks things over; the Brigadier's eyes widen; he whirls around to look in horror at the smirking figure of Agent Keybreak- Brigadier Aleksandr: I have just received the target's psychological profile. The man is clinically a sociopath with taste for experimentation. Three containment breaches are recorded under his directorship. This means there's a chance that whatever he's working on, he might lose control of it. And if that happens, I don't know if even...-grits his teeth- gods will be safe.
"He could not know it. For it was not all a joke."-Koschei takes a step towards the brigadier, then goes down on one knee, releasing small tremors. His giant form starts dissolving, little strems of color dissipating into the atmosphere. Within seconds, the commissar is lying unconscious on the ground.-
It seems you have your answer, son of the Rus. Truly I have known few men worthier of bearing the Undying One's weight.
He Was Indeed A Worthy Champion, Czernobog, And I Am Sad To See Him Go.
-regards the brigadier for several seconds, then nods-
Very Well. If The Man You Seek Is A Renegade With No Ties To The Aesir, Then I will Assist You Mortals In Hunting Him Down.

I liked it. As for what comes next, I have no idea.
