The blood encloses him, warms him, strengthens him

... in vain, all in vain...

The fate of the warrior is already written in the future. The downfall is predetermined, set, inevitable ...

Il y a une petite quinzaine, je suis allé avec Julien et Katie, au Louvre-Lens pour une expo temporaire : "Animaux Fantastiques". Une très belle expo ! Ici des dragons.

en alternance, un extrait du film de Fritz Lang - "Les Nibelungen" - 1924 (bon, le dragon semble un peu fatigué...)

Brünnhildes Erwachen – Hermann Hendrich (1913) in der Nibelungenhalle, Königswinter

Siegfried sinkt, wie ersterbend, auf die Schlafende und mit geschlossenen Augen seine Lippen auf ihren Mund. Brünnhilde schlägt die Augen auf. Siegfried fährt auf und bleibt vor ihr stehen. Brünnhilde richtet sich langsam zum Sitze auf. Sie begrüßt mit feierlichen Gebärden der erhobenen Arme ihre Rückkehr zur Wahrnehmung der Erde und des Himmels

»Heil dir, Sonne! Heil dir, Licht!

Heil dir, leuchtender Tag!

Lang war mein Schlaf; ich bin erwacht:

Wer ist der Held, der mich erweckt?«

Richard Wagner – Der Ring des Nibelungen, 1857

What is Alberich King of the Dwarves (Ring: Legend of the Neibelungen) Ryu number?

Alberich does not* have a Ryu Number.

(clarification below)

As the names suggest, Ring: The Legend of the Nibelungen and its sequel Ring II: Twilight of the Gods are based on the Richard Wagner operas that comprise Der Ring des Nibelungen, which draws from some characters of Germanic/Norse legend.

Just, you know, sci-fi.

Putting aside that there may be (probably are) issues with considering the mythological figures and their Wagnerian counterparts the same, the genre shift by itself isn't necessarily so much of a departure that I'm not willing to extend that same consideration to these characters.

Combined with what I've read of some of the changes, though, that becomes a little harder for me to sign off on. Like apparently Brünnhilde/Brunhild is Siegmund/Siegfried's half-sister in the game, which from my (extremely limited) understanding of the operas is almost certainly not the case.

So push comes to shove, I'm counting the game characters as separate characters. But if you're willing to be more lenient, well,

Do what you will with this. I'm pretty out of my element here.

Is she onstage during a production of Wagner's "Der Ring Des Nibelungen"?

This is one of those requests where the perfect image for it is just right there and i appreciate it so much

Kriemhild can have a little revenge. As a treat.
