“Easy, I can name many. Together, they are all wondrously brave, and fierce. All of them are passionate about what is important to them. Individually:   For Tyr- his outstanding loyalty sticks out the most. Sure we had our differences in the past- but when I needed him? He was there. He has a good head on his shoulders and knows to do the right thing. He would be an excellent leader if I do say so myself. For Donar- Oh my dear Thor, he was someone that everyone loved. He had such a personality, and grace that drew people in. That’s why he was my star in the show- he packed that hall full every night. Not everyone has that sort of spark, and energy. But he did. And let me tell you, on top of all that- he was funny too.   Then there is my Ima - and yes we may argue- but I believe it is because we are likely too similar. She is wise and clever. You can’t pull the wool over her eyes- that’s for damn sure. Hell of a singing voice. 

“Don’t worry, I don’t blame YOU for what happened...just the company  that you keep.”

The moment her father walked in - she KNEW something was wrong. He greeted her warmly, but there was a sullen tone in his voice. He didn’t waste any more time and left their company in favor of sitting on his own. She knew he needed his space right now.

  As Shadow went to dutifully follow, the Goddess bounded up fast across the empty bar and grabbed at the sleeve of his jacket.

 “Hey- no, no, no.”

She let go and dropped back to her feet behind the bar. She knew he had a job to do but- she knew what their dad needed better than anyone.

“Have a seat, Shadow. We got this.”

She looked over at Shadow, then turned to see where his gaze had fallen. He seemed transfixed on the jar that sat on the shelf in her kitchen. It was the head of her great uncle, Mimir preserved in the very same water from his well. Sure, it was terribly macabre, but nothing in this family was normal to begin with.

“Oh, yeah...he’s seen better days,  hasn’t he?”
