Synopsis:
The Viking Prince climbs a rocky cliff to retrieve the feather of the great sea eagle as part of the twelve tasks of Thor. During the climb he discovers that the giant eagle is not a bird at all, but actually is a flying horse. The winged horse attacks, forcing Jon to jump on its back and be carried away.

Jon is dropped into the clouds where he discovers Valhalla home to a group of valkyries. Jon is met in combat by Sigrud the leader of the Valkyries. In the fight, Jon is pushed off the edge of the cloud kingdom.

Jon falls into the flying ship of the Moon Vikings. These fighters are seeking to conquer Valhalla. Jon attempts to stop them. He eventually jumps back onto the flying horse to turn the tide of battle. With the help of a magic staff, Jon prevails. He then befriends the valkyries. He is finally returned to the cliffs by the flying horse and given a feather from its wing as a prize on his quest to complete the twelve tasks of Thor.
