That was exactly what he'd been thinking. Bragi nodded, and smiled at the other god to let him know that they were in agreement about the general plan, and then returned to the little girl on the bed.
"It is the King of Stories turn now," Bragi said, "But since you have been such a good audience so far even though none of our stories have quite been what you're looking for, he was wondering if I thought you'd be interested in a special story." The girl's eyes lit up. She expressed her enthusiastic approval.
Bragi grinned. "I thought that might interest you. I agreed to help him. But in order for the special story to work we're going to need your help. These special stories come with a special magic to them. They can take any turn the listener asks for and include anything the listener wants to see. Since you're the listener, it will be up to you to help spin the story. Can you do that?" The little girl thought for a moment but then nodded. Attagirl. "The problem is with these kinds of stories is that there is one about just about everything. We're going to need you to narrow it down. Just a bit. Is there anything in particular you'd like the story to be about?" Bragi asked.
