“So,” said Odin. “What are we judging?” “Treasures,” said Loki. “The sons of Ivaldi have made gifts for you, great Odin, and for Thor, and for Frey, and so have Eitri and Brokk.” … “He presented Odin with the spear called Gungnir. It was a beautiful spear, carved with intricate runes.” … “And here,” said Loki proudly, “is a flowing head of golden hair. Made of real gold. It will attach itself to the head of the person who needs it and grow and behave in every way as if it were real hair.” … “What is it? It looks like a silk scarf,” said Frey, unimpressed. “It does,” said Loki. “But if you unfold it, you will discover it is a ship, called Skidbladnir…And although it is huge, the biggest ship you can imagine, it will fold up, as you see, like a cloth, so you can put it into your pouch.” … “This arm-ring is called Draupnir,” said Brokk. “Because every ninth night, eight gold arm-rings of equal beauty will drip from it. You can reward people with them, or store them, and your wealth will increase.” … “This is a boar my brother made for you, to pull your chariot,” said Brokk… “It is called Gullenbursti, the golden-bristled one.” … “It’s called Mjollnir, the lightning-maker. First of all, it’s unbreakable—doesn’t matter how hard you hit something with it, the hammer will always be undamaged.” . #inktober#inktober2018#gift#norsemythology#byuinktober#October#pen#neilgaiman#art#drawing#illustration#ink#loki#sonsofivaldi#ivaldi#eitri#brokk#odin#gungnir#spear#sif#goldenhair#hair#frey#silkscarf#scarf#ship#vikingship#draupnir#ring#gold#boar#golden#thor#mjolnir#mjölnir https://www.instagram.com/p/BpfhfTsh4m4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15yiaylywavuc
