It's the ending scene, when Wotan summons the magic fire to protect Brünnhilde while she sleeps, waiting for a hero that shall pass through the fire and take her as wife (this happens in the next opera of "Der Ring des Nibelungen", "Siegfried").

It took me a few days to decide how the characters would look like.

What about a T-shirt with a print of this, uh?
