[ Ubbe's young in the memory. He's with his brothers. Sigurd and Ivar had been fighting and Hvitserk had been egging them on -- so he'd carefully picked up Ivar from his wagon and sat him on his lap, urging Sigurd and Hvitserk to sit down with them. ]

I've got a story about Thor to tell you!

[ It's probably a story they've all heard before. After all, Floki makes it his business to tell them all the stories of the gods. Ubbe's not as much of a storyteller as Floki but it's starting to get dark and their mother is drunk and passed out already -- not surprising anyone at all.

Once he managed to convince the older two of his younger brothers to settle down -- Ivar not given a choice being that Ubbe's physically holding him (and there's no axe to hit him with) -- he begins.

What follows is the tale told only in the way a young boy can about the god Thor. A giant had stolen his hammer, Mjolnir, had been stolen by a giant who refused to give it back unless the most beautiful goddess Freya agreed to marry him.

Of course, Thor could never stand for this and despite what mockery it could make of him he dresses as Freya and travels to the lands of the Giants. He pretends to take part in the wedding but once Mjolnir arrives he takes it back and with one mighty blow he destroys the giant!

It's not the best story for settling down children as it's exciting and a humorous one. ]

Why does Loki always seem to dress up? He was like that in Riverview too.

That is the brother who was here, yes?

You're a good storyteller.

Hello?

[Her voice is sweet like honey and wine but uncertain. This place confuses her and those questions inspire a curiosity that entices and frightens her.]

Excuse me if I am interrupting. I've only just found myself here and I saw the story you told. I apologize if it is something that you hadn't wished for me to know but I wanted to know more about the gods of your home.

I've learned about different gods and legends but I haven't heard of yours. They sound like interesting creatures.

[There's a smile on Ivar's face, something far softer than he usually possesses. It's interesting seeing something from his childhood, especially when he can remember it happily.]

You always did have a knack for getting us to stop fighting.

[Though it had been easy when he could just take Ivar and drag him away from the other two.]
