Hey

what’s up?

Wanna read together?

I was reading “Viking stories” book.

This book has a really simple text.

And includes a number of stories which are different

and related to each other at the same time.

So if you’re ready

let’s begin the story

Fenrir’s chain

This is the story of Loki’s children

and what happened to them.

God Loki had three children

but these were not ordinary children.

Loki’s children were a snake whose name was Jormungand,

a scary woman whose name was Hel

and a wolf whose name was Fenrir.

At first they lived in Jotunheim

the country of the giants

but then they all came to Asgard

where the gods lived.

and the gods were very worried.

“I don’t like Loki’s children!”

said Odin. the most important of the gods.

“Loki is a dangerous man.

He’s always playing tricks.

His children will be as dangerous as he is.”

The goddess Freyja did not think the same thing.

“But sometimes Loki is good” she said,

“He has helped us lots of times.

I think his children can live here in asgard with us.”

“But they’re a snake,

a strange-looking, scary woman and a wolf!”

shouted Odin. “They can’t live here!”

Thor thought the same thing.

So first

they took Jormungand the snake.

They threw him out of Asgard.

which was at the top of the world.

all the way down to Midgard, where humans lived.

He started to grow and grow and grow.

So he went into the sea which was all around Midgard.

“Now then” said Odin

“ What about Loki’s daughter Hel?”

The gods all looked at hel

and even they were frightened.

Her head was the head of a normal woman

but the rest of her body was like a skeleton.

Only bones and dead skin.

“I know what to do with her” said Odin, who was very clever.

“this woman is half-alive and half-dead.

She can’t live here with us because we’re gods.

And she can’t live with the humans in Midgard

because she isn’t human.

We’ll send her to Nifleheim.

The place where people go when they have died.”

Because Odin was the most important god

he always got what he wanted.

So Hel was sent to Nifelheim

where she became the queen of all the people who have died.

“So then” asked Thor

“What are we going to do with the wolf?”

All of the gods looked at the wolf

“A wolf is only a type of dog” said Freyja

“That’s true” said Thor

“And if you’re kind to a dog

the dog will grow up to be a good dog.”

“Perhaps that’s true for wolves, as well” said Freyja

“I think he can live here.” Said Thor

“We’ve given homes to Loki’s other two children

And this one will be no trouble to us, the gods,

here in our home”

“Thor is right” said Freyja

“very well then” said Odin

” the wolf can stay here.”

“Thank you” said Fenrir

And the Gods were all surprised that a wolf could talk!

Everybody was vey pleased.

The gods played with the wolf like a dog.

The god Tyr was his best friend

and they played together all the time.

At first, everything was very fine.

BUT FENRIR…
