 .....Some time after leaving Ambers room and before meeting Fiddle..... The city was an immense, mind boggling, maze of loud, streets and alley ways. You could hear the ceaseless blaring of the vehicles even before the sun rose. Restless business people who needed to get to their jobs, moms who needed to get their children to school, facing the challenge of navigating through the horde of parents and kids, even a portion of the teachers who had stopped at the local pastry shop to get a bagel or two preceding their morning classes. After each person had reached their separate destinations, the traffic blockages cleared as though humongous snakes had eaten their fills and were withdrawing over into their dull and scary hollows. Strolling and floating down the road, Shun could notice the crisp batch of sweet doughnuts being prepared for the lunch hour surge. To her, it was a clear indication of the city gradually awakening. She anticipated to see what the new day would bring for everybody, herself most of all. The whole time she kept herself invisible to the human eye as she wondered the streets. After a while of wandering, eventually the little ghost begins to day dream and in her vivid imagination, Shun imagines that she is in an comfortable room. The room is warm.. The cover on the floor is warm and delicate to the touch. There is a fire amidst the room on a raised hearth. There is a little fire burning on the hearth, the tiny ghost can feel the glow all over. On the fire there is a little flame broil and furthermore a stove. She checks out the room and brings her attention back to the hearth. She can see on the hearth a container with a drink. By the container there are vessels. She lifts one up and feel the heaviness of the vessel and the surface against her spirit. She fills the vessel from the container and afterwards the little ghost looks down at the drink. She sees an appearance in the surface of the fluid. She brings the cup up to her lips to drink, as yet viewing the reflections, she can see her own eyes in the surface as she drink. She can actually "taste" this drink... It tastes of honey, but the range of honey flavor is immense... When she has finished the drink, she then supplants the vessel by the hearth and glance again around the room. As she glances around again she sees the subtle elements of the room. There are entryways on each divider. They are old entryways, very much utilized and strong. There are strange carvings around the edge of the entryway and a raised panel up amidst every door. She swings toward the North and focuses on one of the four entryways on that divider. She takes a quick look at the board and see another weird symbol cut on it. She centers around that symbol, droning it again and again in her psyche.. Shun kept on looking at the entryway and gradually begin strolling towards it. As she approaches, the entryway gradually opens.. Regardless she centers around the strange marking and watches it. She then stoops as she gradually go through the entryway all the time concentrating on the symbol, burning the image again and again in her brain. When she goes through the entryway, no longer a city, she sees an open land before her. She goes through the land seeing all surrounding her. She goes further and more profoundly into this place in her mind, drawing nearer to a gathering place somewhere down in the core of the land. Shun then looks all around and see every one of the shades and vibrant colors of the land and she stops and tune in for a minute and hear the sounds of the land. She proceed onward again moving further into this place, proceeding with her excursion and continuing until the point when she locates a sheltered and safe place. Once there, she stops, pausing for a minute to feel the place, she becomes more mindful of a nearness... A.. Presence.. She pivots and look. A woman.. She smells of sweet honey and strawberries.. There is a nobility that is reflected in her appearance. She is a giant of a woman, standing at a height of 6 feet 6 inches tall.. She has a statuesque figure. Her hair, which is long and braided in bunches looks to be as gold as the sunlight. Her gear is elegant, wearing a circlet with a strange symbol upon it and wings attached to both sides, Battle armor it would seem and a long skirt that flows beautifully upon the ground. She carries with her a strange looking spear and a shield bearing strange markings. And her eyes... They were sharp, as if lined with shards of glass around the edges. The calculating coldness at the center drew Shun in, yet they betrayed no feeling. Shun felt her spirit quiver wherever the tall woman glanced, as if bathed by warm sunlight. Her stare was fiercely soft though, as a lioness toying with her next meal. Her eyes though, translucent blue and bright, made Shun feel her soul was caged. Beautiful. The ghost knew she had to say something. But how can she speak, when her mind is so enraptured? Can a ghost be so entranced, and yet see so clearly this beautiful form, pure and bright? But she had to try. She had to know what lay behind that icy lattice, behind those pools of brilliance. The surrounding around Shun now changes completely.. There is now dew touched leaves of an expanding forest covering a mountain as dawn breaks over the crest. The light burns the leaves but their radiant cool fills Shuns vision. Their vibrant life fills this vision and the moment is more than just a moment... This feeling is deep, but not like oceans which are dark, cold, lifeless. Deep like the jungle, warm and bright and so full of life. The quiet of this moment is almost screaming with energy. Yet despite all this, it relaxes Shun as she now feels it almost a sin to look upon her and yet she finds it equally unrighteous to look away. She felt a comfortable fear looking upon her. The woman sighed at the sights around her.
“I am here. Alive…I have been.. called.. I-…” Her gaze gently falls upon the small ghost before her. Shuns eyes were filled with questioning. “What happened? Where am I?”The woman blinks slowly, “You have called upon me, little one." She pauses, leaning down towards Shun, laying a hand on her straw hat, remaining silent and nodding as if she knew something, "You passed away some time back, and now I am here to watch over your soul for all time.”
“I.. Called you??”“Yes child.”“How?”The woman paused, and looked back towards the skyline. Shun gave up trying to make sense of everything right now and instead directed her attention back at the lady in cosplay touching her straw hat. “So why am I here? Why is nothing else moving?..” the small ghost asked. The lady smiled, not unkindly. “Child, you have been untethered from the afterlife for so long. As for everyone else, you will learn eventually how to move through the mortal plane at your own pace. Now, come, we have to go.”Her hand outstretched, she waited patiently for Shun to reciprocate.
“But why me? W-who are you? I just wanna go back to the city! I should still be in otherworld but I was pulled from there... so I should be there, not going with you.”“You are not aware that strong warriors are needed too. You have much to accomplish.” The lady spoke. Shun folded her tiny hand nubs and pouted. “Me? I’m not alive.. Im dead.. I’m not a warrior, Hmph!"“Indeed. I had my doubts at first too, but I’ve watched your last moments. You’ve proven yourself to be brave, selfless, compassionate, much more so than many others do in a lifetime.”The tall womans hand warmly wrapped around Shun’s, and the two slowly began to circle around this dreamlike place, transfixed in time. The woman snapped her fingers, and time flowed, briefly, frame by frame. "Do you remember how you died?" She asked, a tinge of sadness entering her voice. This was quite possibly the youngest, most innocent soul she had to guide, and not for the first time did she wish she could turn back the clock. This poor poor creature. "Do you remember who you are, child?" she asked, voice echoing in the frozen moment. "S...Shun, miss," Shun said, staring almost straight up as the woman towered over her. The lady surveyed their surroundings with suspicion. "I've seen battlefields of all sorts--martial, political, romantic and domestic... Are you of a line of warriors, Shun?" |

"Huh?" The tiny ghost blinked, "Ma'am?"
"Your family, girl," the lady said, slightly irritated. "Are they accustomed to battle?"
"Um...I-I like art," shun said.
The blonde lady sighed, casting her gaze about for a clue, any clue. She stopped her fruitless search and turned her attention back to Shun, the woman recognized the tone in her voice, and instantly understood. "I see. Are you good at...Art?"
Shun slowly shrugged, in that curious way that children have that makes one think their shoulders are about to pop out of their sockets. "It's all I ever do.. or.. remember to.. do."
Everything clicked into place as the woman saw the forest change into a flowery field with new eyes. This little ghost never had true conflict in her life or unlife, but war was waged in many forms. "And the people around you, they treat you fine?"
"Well..." Shun began, suddenly hesitant once more. "The girl who summoned me.. She was very nice.. and.. Cute! And then there was the boy with the orange hair.. His pet scares me.."
The woman nodded, smiling kindly. Her presence was not a mistake after all. "And you feel okay, now, right?"
Shun smiled. "Yeah, miss. It...it just makes me happy that there are people who are nice. But I have doubts about myself and I am scared..."
the tall woman nodded. "Doubt and no confidence are the tools of the weak. Manipulation is the weapon of cowards."
Shun sighed. "I wish I could find my purpose again."
The tall lady smiled, "I understand little one, life can be hard, defined not by blood but by struggles. But you.. You are a warrior and warriors fight on, through heartbreaking losses and hard-won victories. As long as you continue to have a strong will like this, everything will sort itself out for you."
"Come, Shun," the woman said, taking her hand in her own. "There is a place where Art, in all forms, is the only thing that matters."
"That sounds pleasant..." Shun said, squeezing the womans hand tight as reality began to unfold back into the material plane and the city.
"Now.. enable and allow yourself to experience the sights, sounds and smells without naming them and becoming mentally involved with them. All around, life and art is happening, Notice the tendency of your mind trying to assess everything - Quickly! look at that lovely bird there!" The woman points at a blue jay, smiling, "What kind is it?"
"I-I dunno.."
"Is it here all winter or where does it go?... When these sorts of contemplations come up, let them go, Shun." The lady said with the most serious tone ever.
"Simply.. experience the colors, shapes, sounds, and developments of the bird or whatever else you are encountering. Give it a chance to be an experience without significance and without reference to some other experience."
"T-thats a lot to take in.. A-also, I dont think I ever got your name." Shun sighs, rubbing her forehead.

Shun pulled on her tiny straw hat, examining this woman more intently as she waited for an answer while the strange woman stared off into the distance. The woman started muttering to herself under her breath words Shun was not sure she wanted to properly hear.
The woman was truly like no one Shun had ever seen before, a stranger through and through. That she even stood here in place like something seemed somehow wrong, an anomaly of nature.
"And once again," began Shun in her tiny voice, "What is your name.. who are you?"
The woman continued to stare over the small ghost. Her blonde hair swayed slightly in the wind. There seemed to be white feathers plaited into it. In fact, feathers seemed to surround her almost like an aura. There were only a few that Shun could see, only countable on one hand, but their presence was greater than quantity.
"W-well?," Shun said quietly.
The woman gave a quick nod and turned to Shun again.
The woman still did not reply, but stepped closer, footsteps silent on the ground. Those eyes were merciless in their gaze, The woman's hands were clasped about her spear, but those eyes poked and prodded as well as any tool.
At long last the woman opened her mouth. "My name is Sigha."
"S-sig.. ah...?" Shun tried her best to sound out, "That doesnt sound like anything from around here!"
Sigha just laughed. "I didn't expect it to, little Shun. But it is my name, you will respect it."
Shun glanced over away from Sigha. "H-How did you know my name?"
"I'm a Valkyrie," Sigha replied simply as she ran a finger down the length of her spear.
"O-oh.."
All Shun could think about was that spear and how powerful this Sigha looked.
'Maybe this is a dream. A really, weird dream. Except im... not.. waking up'
Sigha just looked on with an amused-if-impatient expression.
"Are you done yet?" Sigha asked.
Shun opened her mouth to speak again, "You...just called yourself a Val.....kyrie."
"Indeed I did."
Shun coughed, "W-What?"
"Your hearing is fine, Shun. I am what I say I am and I suggest you not to show any fear." Even as Sigha spoke her body seemed to glow ever so slightly while her voice threatened to draw blood. "..And I've come here to protect and serve you."
"r-right.." Shun hoped she sounded more self-assured than she felt. What would a tiny ghost do now? So far Sigha had not attacked. Should she listen? There was nothing wrong with listening. It was diplomatic, it was wise. It would give her a chance to think of something else, if need be. She slowly removed her hand from her straw hat.The Valkyrie remained quiet.
"Your little… world here," said Sigha, with a nod, "Has caught the attention of many. This earth has cultivated fighters of many talents, which is most impressive. People would kill for that kind of power. Learning to adjust to this plane makes for good training. And your innate power works in your favor, but there are evil eyes are around. No doubt you've encountered some threats. Everyone seems to be brushing up on their skills as warriors. Including you."
"H-How do you know all of this?" Shun regretted the question as soon as she said. The woman was a Valkyrie, if she were telling the truth. Who was she to question their knowledge?
"Oh, my people loved battles. Your future is something great. Something... something.." Sigha softly stopped, thinking. "The outcomes have not been woven yet. As I have said, between your spirit and natural will, you will do well. The people of this universe fight well. But then again… there are others talented in combat. The people that you surround yourself with… The scale could easily tip one way or the other. My sisters and I have woven nothing yet and the future is unseen. But it's something you should consider."
"Consider for what?" Shun asked, tilted slightly.
"I am simply here to pick you up and be by your side. Consider the future.. It is a Valkyries job to assist and pick up the dead who were honorable in life."
Shun gave a tiny laugh. "As in plucking up the dead?"
Sigha glared at Shun. "I wouldn't speak of it with such slight, girl. It is battle and glory and life and death and other such things you know little about. And yet you mock it all like a fool."
Shun quieted immediately.
"But you show passion," Sigha said, more gently. "Lots of passion. You love fighting just as much as you do your... art. You live for it. Fighting and art flows through your blood, Shun. Which is why I have my eye on you."
"And Shun." Shun tried not to shake as Sigha turned back to her. "You, Shun, You show extreme promise."
"P-promise?.. Im not really a fighter.. at heart.." she said softly. Was this saying too much?
"I still have no idea what this has to do with anything," Shun said, confidence back. "I just need to get back to otherworld.."
"Then go. I will follow and fight by your side," Sigha said. "Valkyries have a lot of power in battles. They can choose who to follow, They can weave outcomes, defeats, and wins. They are faithful to the end and beyond. Your aptitude in combat will most likely be tested in the near future. If you were to fall again…" She paused, and the only sound was the cityscape and birds chirping as well as crickets. "Well, just think of what you could for safety and survival as a spirit."
This was insane. It had to be a dream, but Shun was not waking up. "What are you saying? I could learn how to become even...more.. powerful?.."
"Maybe. My sisters had their eyes on others. Valkyries choose only the bravest. And I have been assigned to you, rest assured. Unless you say no and refuse my help."
Shun could only stare at her as all the images and thoughts of others like Sigha ran into her mind.
Suddenly Sigha turned, lifting the spear into the air as she did. In one fluid motion she released it. The spear soared through the air, silent as a feather, before stabbing itself into the wood at the far end of the city park. "Whoever is picked would have to prove herself, of course. It's very difficult. Many of the finest have failed to receive the invitation. There is no shame in failure here. But much glory in the success."
In the blink of an eye the spear was back in her hand. "I don't expect an answer now. Shun, You have three days to make up your mind. If you say yes, your training will begin... now. If you say no, you will never hear from me again. I'll return tomorrow night."
And then she was gone. Not a sound, not a spark, just the presence of a woman named Sigha and then nothing.
For a long time Shun could not speak. She could only breathe, in and out, her ghostly body fading in and out.
"...Sigha...The Valkyrie.."
....."Wow".....
Shun looked down at her hand. There in her tiny nub lays a large white feather. "It's a feather..."
Sigha actually never disappeared but only stood a small number of feet away, swan feathers floating about her. She smiled, and the first hint of warmth Shun had ever seen from the Valkyrie entered that smile. "I.. Actually. I would love it if you made a choice now, little one."
"Well, I suppose why not," said Shun, clasping down on the swan feather, "Y-yes, please stay with me."
Sigha nodded in agreement. She had no time for someone who took forever. "We've reached our decision then."
Sigha removed a curved blade from her belt—the spear was nowhere this time—and ran her finger down it as her smile continued. "I hope you've thought about it, good and hard. Because I've much to tell you about where I come from."
Shun put up her tiny nub fists, "..Are we posta fight? Training?.."
Sigha put her hands on her hips and laughed. The giantess couldnt help but blush, finding this small ghost amusing. "I have no intention of fighting you at this point, and we're not even on good ground! Have you not been in worse scrapes."
"Uh…" Shun rubbed her chin, thinking.
"Listen, here Shun. I will tell you stories of a time that is different from the one now, so that we may know each other better. Many tell me that I am.." Sigha pauses, tapping her bottom lip, "Ah, long winded as the mortals here put it. So come, let us sit under this oak tree and I shall regale you of the tales of Gods and Giants or elves and dwarves. It should be quite the treat for you, dear Shun."

Sigha continues, "Before I continue... Try to see everything with an open mindfulness, as though you'd never experienced anything like it. When the mind wanders and becomes caught up in thought of what im going to tell you just keep yourself grounded."
Sigha clears her throat. "Ahem.. So.."
"Where I come from and.. Long ago... Once there was another Sun and another Moon. An alternate Sun and an alternate Moon from the ones we see now." Sigha pointed into the sky.. She smiled softly, "Sol was the name of that Sun and Mani was the name of that Moon... Be that as it may, constantly behind Sol and Mani wolves went, a wolf behind each. The wolves got on them finally and they ate up Sol and Mani!" Sigha exlaimed doing a roar, making the tiny ghost eep.
"And after that the world was in murkiness and cool..."
Sigha sighs, looking at her spear, "In those circumstances the Gods lived.. Unlike the Gods or Kai's of this place, we called them Odin and Thor, Hödur and Baldur, Tyr and Heimdall, Vidar and Vali, and also..." She clears her throat,
"Loki, the practitioner of dark magicks and trickery. Furthermore, there were lovely Goddesses that were living at that point.. We called them Frigga, Freya, Nanna, Iduna, and Sif.. In any case, in the days when the Sun and Moon were destroyed the Gods were devastated as well—every one of the Gods with the exception of Baldur who had kicked the bucket before that time, Vidar and Vali, the children of Odin, and Modi and Magni, the children of Thor."
Shun is entranced with awe at this. She listens eagerly..
"Around then, as well, there were people on the planet just like the people here, with the exception of them not being part animal. Although there were legends of men turning into beasts and such but that is a story for another time, little one. In any case, before the Sun and the Moon were eaten up and before the Gods were slaughtered, appalling things occurred on the planet. You see, Shun, snow fell on the four corners of the earth and continued succumbing to three seasons. Winds came and overwhelmed everything. Furthermore, the general population of the world who had lived on regardless of the snow and the cool and the breezes battled each other, sibling executing sibling, until the point when every one of the general population were crushed." Sigha said with sadness in her voice.. Her pace slowed a bit, the dying rays of a setting sun coming on down through the trees and lending everything a hazy orange glow.
Sigha gave a soft smile and continued, "Additionally there was another earth around then, an earth green and excellent. In any case, the unpleasant breezes that blew leveled down woods and slopes and abodes. At that point fire came and consumed the earth. There was dimness, for the Sun and the Moon were eaten up. The Gods had met with their fate... What's more, the time in which every one of these things happened was called Ragnarök, the Twilight of the Gods."
Shun frowned, "What about you? You're still... here.."
Sigha nodded slowly, "Yes.. Yes I am, and at that point another Sun and another Moon showed up and went going through the sky; they were more stunning than Sol and Mani, and no wolves took after behind them in pursue.. The earth wound up green and lovely once more, and in a profound timberland that the fire had not consumed a lady and a man aroused up. They had been covered up there by Odin and left to rest amid Ragnarök, the Twilight of the Gods."
Shuns eyes widened, "What?! So not everyone died! W-what were the two peoples name?!? What were they?!?"
Sigha gave a big smile, poking Shun, "Lif was the lady's name, and Lifthrasir was the man's."
Shun tried her best to pronounce that, "Lift...ra..."
"Sir." Sigha finished for her, "They traveled through the world, and their youngsters and their's kids made individuals for the new earth. What's more, of the Gods were left Vidar and Vali, the children of Odin, and Modi and Magni, the children of Thor; on the new earth Vidar and Vali discovered caarvings that the more established Gods had composed on and had left there for them, tablets recounting all that had occurred before Ragnarök, the Twilight of the Gods..."
"What's more, the general population who lived after Ragnarök, the Twilight of the Gods, were not harried, as the general population in the more established days were grieved, by the frightful creatures who had brought death upon the world and upon people, and who from the earliest starting point had battled upon the Gods."
"I will tell you the oldest story that I have known, Shun. So.. Continuously there had been war between the Giants and the Gods—between the Giants who might have destroyed the whole world and the race of men, and the Gods who might have ensured the race of men and would have made the world more delightful."
"There are numerous stories to be told about the Gods, however the first that ought to be informed to you is the one regarding the working of their City."
"The Gods had advanced up to the highest point of a high mountain and there they chose to build a beautiful City for themselves that the Giants would never oust. This City they would call "Asgard," which implies the Place of the Gods. They would fabricate it on a wonderful plain that was on the highest point of that high mountain. What's more, they needed to raise round their City the most noteworthy and most grounded wall that had ever been manufactured!!"
"Well.. one day when they were starting to assemble their corridors and their royal residences, a peculiar being came to them. Odin, the Father of the Gods, went and addressed him. "What dost thou need on the Mountain of the Gods?" he asked the Stranger."
"I understand what is in the psyche of the Gods," the Stranger said. "They would assemble a City here. I can't build royal residences, yet I can construct awesome walls that can never be ousted. Give me a chance to build the divider round your City."
"To what extent will it take you to construct a divider that will go around our City?" said the Father of the Gods.
"A year, O Odin," said the Stranger.
"Presently, Odin realized that if an incredible divider could be worked around it the Gods would not need to invest all their energy guarding their City, Asgard, from the Giants, and he realized that if Asgard were secured, he himself could go among men and show them and help them. He suspected that no payment the Stranger could approach would be excessive for the working of that divider."
"That day the Stranger went to the Council of the Gods, and he swore that in a year he would have the colossal divider constructed. At that point Odin made promise that the Gods would give him what he inquired as to whether the divider was done to the last stone in a year from that day."
"The Stranger left and returned on the morrow. It was the first day of Summer when he began work. He conveyed nobody to help him to aside from an incredible horse."
"And so the Gods believed that this stallion would do close to drag squares of stone for the working of the divider. Be that as it may, the stallion accomplished more than this. He put the stones in their places and melded them together. What's more, day and night and by light and dull the steed worked, and soon an extraordinary divider was ascending around the royal residences that the Gods themselves were building."
"What reward will the Stranger request the work he is improving the situation us? the Gods asked each other."
Odin went to the Stranger. "We wonder about the work you and your steed are improving the situation us," he said. "Nobody can question that the immense mass of Asgard will be developed by the primary day of Summer. What payment could you want? We would have it prepared for you."
The Stranger abandoned the work he was doing, leaving the colossal stallion to heap up the pieces of stone. "O Father of the Gods," he stated, "O Odin, the reward I should request my work is the Sun and the Moon, and the Lady Freya, who watches over the blossoms and fields, for my better half."
The tiny Ghost just watched and listened intently as the Valkyrie droned on and on about this tale of creatures from another time and place. She just stared in wonder and disbelief it seems.
Sigha noticed this and slowed down, "This may be very confusing to you Shun, just wait, okay?" She smiled.

Sigha paused and looked at the small Ghost with soft blue eyes. She sighed softly, Her long blonde wavy hair crawled around her head, sliding and slipping.
She began talking, with a soft but omnipresent tone.
"Sometimes In this life we are faced with challenges beyond measure, Shun. sometimes the mountains are too tall for us to climb on our own. sometimes we must band together with our families and friends... Sometimes we must make our enemies our allies. This is one of those times, young Shun. This is one of those times. Now let me continue."
So when Odin heard this he was frightfully infuriated, at the cost the Stranger requested his work was past all costs. He went among the other Gods who were then building their sparkling royal residences inside the considerable wall and he disclosed to them what remunerate the Stranger had inquired. The Gods stated, "Without the Sun and the Moon the world will shrink away." And the Goddesses stated, "Without Freya all will be misery in Asgard."
They would have given the wall a chance to remain unbuilt instead of let the Stranger have the reward he guaranteed for building it. Yet, one who was in the organization of the Gods talked. He was... Loki, a being who just half had a place with the Gods..
Shun tilts her head slight at the mention of the name, "He... bad?"
Sigha gives somewhat of a nod and continues, "his dad was a Wind Giant, you see." "Let the Stranger form the divider round Asgard," Loki stated, "and I will figure out how to influence him to surrender the hard deal he has made with the Gods. Go to him and disclose to him that the divider must be done by the first day of Summer, and that in the event that it isn't done, the things he asks of us won't be given to him."
"So.. he is gonna trick the guy?.."
Sigha puts a finger up to her lips, "The Gods went to the Stranger and they disclosed to him that if the last stone was not laid on the divider on the first day of the Summer not Sol or Mani, the Sun and the Moon, nor Freya would be given him. What's more, now they realized that the Stranger was one of the Giants..."
"The Giant and his awesome stallion heaped up the divider more rapidly than previously. Around evening time, while the Giant rested, the stallion chipped away at and on, pulling up stones and laying them on the divider with his incredible forefeet. Also, step by step the divider around Asgard became increasingly elevated.In any case, the Gods had no satisfaction in observing that incredible wall ascending ever more elevated around their royal residences. The Giant and his steed would complete the work by the first day of Summer, and after that he would take the Sun and the Moon, Sol and Mani, and Freya away with him!"
Shun claps her nubby ghost hands together and eeps!
"...Be that as it may, Loki was not bothered. He continued telling the Gods that he would figure out how to keep him from completing his work, and in this way he would make the Giant relinquish the horrible value he had driven Odin to guarantee him. It was three days to Summer time. All the divider was completed with the exception of the passage way. Over the passage a stone was still to be set. Furthermore, the Giant, before he rested, bade his steed to pull up an extraordinary square stone with the goal that they may put it over the entryway toward the beginning of the day, thus complete the work two entire days before Summer.It happened to be a lovely moonlit night. Svadilfare, the Giant's incredible stallion, was pulling the biggest stone he ever pulled when he saw a little female horse come running toward him. The immense steed had never observed so lovely a little horse and he took a gander at her with awe."
"Svadilfare, slave," said the little horse to him and went searching past.
Svadilfare put down the stone he was pulling and called to the little horse. She returned to him. "For what reason do you call me 'Svadilfare, slave'?" said the immense steed.
"Since you need to work night and day for your lord," said the little female horse. "He keeps you working, working, working, and never gives you a chance to have a good time. You set out not leave that stone down and come and play with me."
"Who told to you I set out not do it?" said Svadilfare.
"I know you wont do it," said the little female horse, and she kicked up her foot rear areas and kept running over the moonlit glade.
"Presently in all actuality Svadilfare was burnt out on working day and night. When he saw the little horse go running off he turned out to be all of a sudden malcontented. He cleared out the stone he was pulling on the ground. He looked around and he saw the little female horse glancing back at him. He dashed after her."
Shun scratches her chin..
"He didn't get up to speed with the little horse. She went on quickly before him. On she went over the moonlit meadow, turning and thinking back sometimes at the immense Svadilfare, who came intensely after her. Down the mountainside the horse went, and Svadilfare, who currently celebrated in his freedom and in the freshness of the breeze and in the resemble the blossoms, still took after her. With the morning's light they drew close to a give in and the little female horse went into it. They experienced fatigue after a while. At that point Svadilfare made up for lost time with the little horse and the two went meandering together, the little female horse revealing to Svadilfare stories of the Dwarfs and the Elves."
"She was fast as heck!" Shun blurted out.
"They went to the woods and they remained together in it, the little female horse playing so pleasantly with him that the colossal stallion overlooked time passing. And keeping in mind that they were in the woods the Giant was going here and there, hunting down the horse."
"He had gone to the wall early in the day, hoping to put the stone over the entryway thus completing his work. In any case, the stone that should have been lifted up was not close him. He called for Svadilfare, yet his awesome steed did not come. He went to look for him, and he looked through all down the mountainside and he sought as far over the earth as the domain of the Giants.Alas, he didn't find Svadilfare anywhere."
"The Gods saw the first day of Summer come and the entryway of the divider stand incomplete. They said to each other that on the off chance that it were not finished up by the night they require not give Sol and Mani to the Giant, nor the lady Freya to be his significant other. The hours of the late spring day went past and the Giant did not raise the stone over the passage. At night he preceded them."
"Your work isn't done," Odin said. "You have constrained us to a hard deal and now we require not keep it with you. You may not be given Sol and Mani nor the lady Freya."
"Huh, the divider I have constructed.. I would tear it down," said the Giant. He attempted to toss down one of the royal residences, yet the Gods laid hands on him and push him outside the divider he had constructed.
"Go, and inconvenience Asgard no more," Odin summoned.
"At that point Loki came back to Asgard. He told the Gods how he had changed himself into a little female horse and had driven away Svadilfare, the Giant's incredible steed. What's more, the Gods sat in their brilliant castles behind the considerable divider and cheered that their City was.. For now.. secure, and that no foe would ever enter it or topple it. But there was Odin, the Father of the Gods, as he sat upon his position of authority was dismal in his heart, tragic that the Gods had got their wall built by the means of a trap and that pledges had been broken, and that a blow had been struck in bad form in Asgard."
It was a lot for this ghost to take in. This seemed like this would be a tale that will take a lot of time to recount and regail.
Sigha stops and looks up. "Theres... someone you must meet. We must leave this place. I can explain on the way but this is urgent. We must find a Ship and.. Find her. You must. It is important, okay? Also work on trying to change your look for a more.. inviting appearance."
