“Shhhhh. We have to be quiet.” Hermod opened the door to his father’s hall and looked around. The coast was clear. This was going to be so much fun. They just had to be sure he didn’t get caught. That would really spoil everything.

Odin and Frigg had gone out for the entire day. They were probably doing something royal. They had needed someone to watch Hermod and his younger half-brother, Bragi. Balder had run off with some of his friends and Hod was blind. Being blind made it hard to watch over his younger brothers, even when Hermod promised not to go running around the hall. That left a few other choices. Thor was just too… Thor. Vidar was off learning something important. So Tyr was the one recruited o watch them with Hermod’s parents were away.

( They had just finished lunch... )

She really needed to start thinking things through before she did them, Lottie reflected as she stood calf-deep in the snow. It would probably prevent predicaments like this one if she actually had a plan going into the situation, rather than trying to come up with one on the fly. Though part of this had been unexpected: she hadn't really thought she'd find an orphaned fawn, after all. And how could she have known that the decision to cut through the forest to get to Bifrost would lead her right into a pack of wolves? This really wasn't her fault.

( It was just her problem. )

OOC Warning: We're not sure yet, but this might have unsettling Holocaust information in it. So, trigger warning for those of you who may not want to read it. It is Enyo, after all.

( This wasn't quite war... yet. It wasn't quite bloody. But it was still satisfying on a deep emotional level. )

Enough was enough.

Enyo was not known for being a tolerant deity. If the Roman Senate had listened to her from the beginning, the Teutones and the Cimbri would have been slaughtered from the word go and this wouldn't have been an issue. Instead, the Senate, in their infinite wisdom, sent Junior Consul Papirius Carbo to the Alps to protect the passage to Italia. Which meant Carbo, rather than make an example of the Germanic tribes, entered into negotiations with them.

( This was a tragic mistake for the Cimbri and Teutones. )
