Freyrs Hirdman – Amanda Meuwissen

that’s my—” “Don’t be a sore loser, Ravnur.” I flopped onto my back—and noticed that my pendant had dislodged from my tunic! Swiftly, I shoved it back out of view just as Freyr leapt to his feet, hefted the ram up over his shoulders, and grinned down at me like a barn cat who had just caught a… well. Raven. “Best get this back to town for cleaning, eh? Or at least back to Gull, so we can try our hands at another hunt.

You can borrow my bow. Work on that form of yours.” “Just so long as there aren’t any more wagers.” “It was your idea!” I scowled, but when Freyr, effortlessly carrying the ram across his shoulders, still reached a hand down to offer me assistance, I took it. I wasn’t really upset. As much as I longed to know the taste of his lips, I was glad to have exactly what we did. To spend time together with all my feelings for him out in the open, and him willing to discover whether he could share them without any of it stifling the friendship we’d fostered.

Besides, Freyr looked impossibly handsome carrying the beast he had slain, and eventually, after he no doubt outshined me again while helping me work on my form, I would get to hold onto him during the trip home. I carried our bows as we headed back toward Gull. “Well?” I called after Freyr. “Well what?” “What are you going to request for our next outing, oh champion?”

“Oh! That’s easy! Since hunting is my forte, next, little raven, I want to enjoy yours.” He glanced at me with a roughish grin. “Think on your favorite tale, dear storyteller, for I will be looking forward to hearing it.” A performance, like one of any number of nights in years past when I captivated Freyr and sometimes the entire city with a tale or two. So be it. If that was what he wanted, it was an easy request, for while Freyr might think he had put me on the spot, I knew exactly which tale I would tell.

I took no shame in admitting I spoke aloud to myself often, as I spend much time alone, and who was one to talk to when with no one but oneself? In my case, my sword. And Gull, if I was near the great steed.

If I dared say that speaking to either of them was the same as speaking to myself, they would leave me in a heartbeat for, well, Ravnur most like. Both had a liking for him, in ways they were never quite cordial with others. Tools, forged instruments or not, they had spirits in them without a doubt.

About the Author Also By OceanofPDF.com Glossary THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTIONS ARE the author’s interpretations of Norse mythology. Any deviations from recognized myths are for story purposes, but most of what is recorded here is as close to what we know based on the minimal primary sources available, which are open to interpretation even by scholars.

For a concise but more accurate account, the author recommends Norse Mythology: The Gods, Goddesses, and Heroes Handbook by Kelsey A. Fuller-Shafer, PHD, which was summarized from primary sources, includes a list of them, as well as additional further reading if this mythology interests you. All figures, places, or items not mentioned in this glossary but that are brought up in the story are given as much information on page as the reader needs. This glossary is for references and reminders only as desired throughout your journey into the Norse pantheon.

All in all, this is meant to be a fun M/M romp and romance more than conclusively accurate and should be enjoyed with that in mind. CELESTIAL RACES: Aesir: The gods of Asgard, associated with being warriors and the strongest or “hero” gods most believed by ancient Norse people to be worthy of worship. Includes such gods as: Heimdall Balder Thor Tyr Mimir Odin Vanir: The gods of Vanaheim, associated most with being magical and one with nature.

An old Aesir-Vanir War ended with a trade of political Vanir “prisoners” Freyr, Freya, and their father Njord in exchange for the Aesir god Mimir.
