“Tale VIII: Godforsaken

On a fine day a dozen men entered the forest. They came to see the shrine of the god called Odin. Soon enough they got lost in the dark forest, because they drank mead like water. Their leader, the mighty warrior Heimdall noticed a shape in front of them and ordered his men to follow. They ran and ran being lured deeper into the woods. Finally they arrived at a clearing where a beutiful woman was waiting for them. She said: "I am the Queen and this is my forest. Be my guests for a feast and play a game with my folk. Refuse and die." The mighty Heimdall had other plans with the woman and started to walk towards her with bad intensions. "Wrong choice" said the Queen and the forest came to life. Ancient trees were tearing at the flesh of the norsemen, wild animals emerged from everywhere, eager to defend their Queen. Heimdall was slain and the norse decided to run. Praying to their god they ran. But Odin didn't answer. ”
