the black haired ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ with olive skin rested his head on a soft pack of elk hide . the cave in which the goddess had chosen to enter was warm with fire . it was still early in the morning , but midgard's chill was enough to wake anyone if it breezed through hard enough . it does not disturb the forigner as he sleeps . he listens to a voice call to him
his head shifts slightly . it's a woman's voice . one he knows too well . but he does not call out to it in his dreams . he doesn't dare .
perseus? it's time . you have to wake up now
โ ... ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐? โ
ocean blue eyes reveal themselves as lids open . he sees a goddess standing over him . they call her the goddess of many things . she has various titles , though he has never been sure how to exactly refer to her . she is ๐
๐๐๐๐ of the vanir , a mighty warrior whose tales were the first perseus heard when he arrived in these lands . he looks to her for a moment , eyes locking with her own . he must have been talking in his sleep again . he prayed to her the night before . asking for purpose . a selfish request perhaps , but one that was genuine with melancholy
the demi-god moves onto his feet quickly . he wraps his blankets tight , tying a rope around the center as they are rolled up . he is a bulky looking man , but is not as brutish looking as his half brother . perseus has spoke little of the ghost of sparta . old wounds he supposed . literally that is
โ we did not have elk where i came from โ it's a rather odd thing for him to say in such a situation . a goddess is standing before him . in another lifetime he would be kneeling before her & begging for her blessing . instead he speaks to her as an equal . there is a tone of deeper respect in his voice however , still making sure that freya knew he remembered she was a respected battle maiden . โ it seems the elk of midgard migrate when the snow melts . it's rather beautiful to watch โ perseus leans down , grabbing a bow leaning against the rocky wall which design is not native to this realm , or any realm freya has ventured for that matter . it belonged to a goddess whose fate is a mystery to even perseus . artemis was always fond of him . he hoped she had survived the fall , truly
the sling of the bow wraps around his right shoulder . perseus is covered in thick fur armor with a norse belt buckle around his waist . โ fimbulwinter has come to an end . your doing i assume? โ perseus' voice is a strong accent native to the forgotten city state of ๐๐๐๐๐
๐๐ , smooth as silk yet strong as steel
โ my prayer to you last night was arrogant & selfish , i know it โ a look of shame from those blue eyes that do not stray far from the valkyrie queen . โ do not tell - โ perseus is nervous . the hands gripping the leather strap of his bow tighten . โ he does not need to know i am here . i beg of you to let him believe i am dead . i will serve you as a loyal devotee but ... please - do not tell him i stand in these lands . i will do so in my own time โ
