Road Trip

With a snarling wolf carved into its prow and a huge lanteen sail striped red and white vertically, a Norse style long ship sails into port in a small fishing village. Disembarking from the ship are men and women whose countenance is more animal than human. Leading the way is a tiger striped husky whose fur is black and white with grey eyes and wearing a gleaming shirt of chain mail; his massive arms bare save the metal bracers on his wrists. Accompanying him is a female husky more traditional in her fur pattern of black and white. She wears a dark grey robe whose hood she keeps over her head as grips a spear tightly in her hands. Walking up to greet them are a gang of club wielding otters, who while not quite as tall as the majority of the canine like Vikings are none too happy about the potential of such sea raiders among them as they move en masse to the longboat. One of them, a bushy mustached fellow slightly taller than the rest speaks up for his compatriots.

"Look 'ere now!" The otter yells. "Wot are ye doin' in town? We ain't got no goods to pay any tribute!"

"Please calm down," says the female husky as more of her fellows disembark behind her and the large male she accompanies folds his arms across his chest. "Word has reached us of your plight and we have been sent to aid you."

The otters discuss things among themselves before their leader looks suspiciously at the group gathered before asking incredulously: "A couple ov dogs and what else?"

"I will have the other huskarl man the walls with halberds and bows." The male replies with an authoritative voice. "My wife and I will take the fight to these frost giants. I am Fenrys, a ranger skilled in fighting giants. My wife, Kalinda," he indicates the grey robe besides him. "Is a witch of no small ability. If there are any who would join us, I would assess their skills now."

"I would at that." Says a younger otter among them. "Name's Eryk normally I'm a scout and hunter but the damn giants_"

An alarm sounds as a huge chunk of ice breaches the palisades meant to keep out trouble. Fenrys takes out twin axes and dashes to the scene. Lumbering towards the wall of the village are another gang of humanoids; ones with icy blue skin and blonde hair, with most being only scantily clad and averaging about nine feet in height. The gang first makes, then hurls huge snowballs at the town, following up each volley with a stream of insults at the villagers below them. Fenrys calmly makes his way to one of the few remaining ballista towers and directs the crew in their aim before taking the shot. The smug look on the face of one of the more belligerent members of the gang is wiped away as a ballista bolt slides cleanly into his heart. The other giants take up their companion and run away while Fenrys smirks and nods his head. As he comes down from the tower the assorted furs gathered to watch cheer him like a conquering hero. Later that day Fenrys leads a group of fellow predators in a hunt for mammoths. What they find is the same group that attacked earlier with a priestess of Ymir, an acolyte really, is trying to save the life of the one Fen shot. Equally determined to ensure this giant warrior hurled into Hel's realms Fenrys advances on the with twin axes drawn. The other hunters high tail it and run as the lady cleric raises her hammer.

Eschewing a shield for dual attacks, Fenrys rolls under the giantess's hammer strike to slice open her inner thigh. Roaring in pain, she swings wildly and catches Fen's shoulder, forcing him back. Grimacing through the pain Fenrys mystically joins the war axe and the battle axe in a single weapon. Holding the greater war axe over his head, he leaps and manages to deepen her butt crack which causes her to stumble forward. Tossing a rather large ice shard between legs she skewers Fenrys in the abdomen. Falling to the snow covered ground, he violently removes the ice from his body as the giantess looms closer. Holding her warhammer over her head, she is a bout to hurl the mallet crashing down when Fenrys slashes her inner thigh again. Forced to drop her weapon and genuflect; Fenrys has to roll to get out of the way of the falling hammer. Still in tremendous pain she never sees the wolven ranger jump up and slice her head off with a single clean stroke. Her patient has enough time to partially awaken and witness his own demise as Fenrys splits his skull in two.

An arctic vixen in similar attire as Fenrys finds him bleeding and dying of cold as she makes her way through the blood stained snow. She kneels besides him and plays her lute in a soothing melody. Worry creeps on her face as she sings his spirit home. His breathing is still shallow; she nuzzles his groin and gets a groan of pleasure in response. Subtly encouraged, she undoes his breeches to lick at his sheathe, to which she is rewarded with his member peeking out. Coaxing his shaft fully out of the sheathe she suckles it to get it hard. Smirking to herself, she undoes her own breeches to mount the semi-conscious warrior. Kalinda finds the skald enjoying her husband and decides to try and sneak up on her husband's mistress. Licking her muzzle as she creeps up on them, Kalinda can feel herself getting aroused. Shaking her head with a lusty smile, the witch disrobes and approaches; sky clad. Half-asleep, Fenrys sees his wife and the look on her face and has to grin as he helps the vixen remove her own mail shirt. Silently, Fen and Linda agree to share the vixen. Keeping her distracted, Fen sets her up for Linda as she reaches around to grope the breasts of the interloper. The surprise causes the cunt of the vixen to get tighter as Kalinda presses her own tits into the other's back. Rocking back with her legs around the other, Kalinda makes her own body a mattress that traps the vixen and opens her up to Fen's thrusting.

Gretta is extremely embarrassed at her arousal at what the ranger's wife is doing to her. Fenrys invades both of them; trying to give each equal attention. Climaxing in Kalinda, he can feel Gretta is a little ashamed at what has just transpired. Scurrying off, Gretta looks behind her to see Kalinda getting Fenrys hard again. Returning to the inn she sings for her supper and allowing herself to be groped by the bear that runs the inn, she tries to think her way through the events that just transpired to figure out what just happened exactly in her mind. In the hot springs under the long house, Gretta dives in for a warm bath only to bump into Kalinda again. The witch is relaxing and half-asleep when she spies the skald.

"You didn't need to run, Gretta," Kalinda coos. "I was enjoying myself."

Gretta is even more nervous than before as she manages to stammer: "G_g_good evening, Lady Kalinda. I didn't think you would remember me from the trip over here."

Kalinda giggles to herself. "I notice when other females take an interest in Fenrys. As much as I love the big lug, I like snuggling up to a fellow femme from time to time. Just as I know Fen likes getting reamed from time to time."

"How did you_?" Asks a wild eyed Gretta to which Kalinda responds with: "We tell each other just about everything. I also like strapping a metallic member to my own groin to do him sometimes."

Gretta blushes as she floats near Kalinda. "I made a pact with Fenrys." Coos the sorceress, "he can enter any girl he wants as long as I can have her as well."

She draws the skald nearer to herself. "We even have some repeat lovers. I've heard some southerners have something called a harem."

"If you like other girls_" Gretta says as she enjoys the way Kalinda is groping her as she tries to return some of the pleasure herself. "You'd love the idea probably. One male with many females; you think the other females do this when the male is not with them?"

"More than likely." Kalinda ponders. "I know I would like to try it."

Gretta giggles as Kalinda feasts on her nipples. Deciding that this might not be so bad; the skald enjoys the witch's attentions. When the huntsman joins them later he gets aroused by the site of Kalinda and Gretta getting it on. Sighing and shaking his head, Fen dives in and startles the girls. The hot springs are more like an extremely heated pool with some parts deeper than others. Holding his breath, Fenrys pulls Kalinda underwater to snuggle her. Smirking to her mate, Kalinda fondles his scrotum and invokes a spell that allows her to breathe underwater. Kissing him deeply, Kalinda shares the spell with Fenrys.

"We do get value from that Mermaid's Kiss spell." Fen smirks. "I take it you were enjoying yourself up there?"

"Immensely." Kalinda coos. "I was beginning to wonder when you were going to join us."

"You act like a dokee so much I wonder what you see in me." Fenrys grumbles to which Kalinda replies: "More than you know, love, I love you with all my heart, but I do prefer females; although you are the only male I've found that I like and can satisfy me, and now that you are my mate I'm done looking for this set of equipment to play with." She playfully squeezes his scrotum and then his manhood. "When the time comes, we will have pups. For that part of my life, I want only you."

Gretta glares at Kalinda from the surface but not for long. "Kraken!!!" She screams before getting out of the pool. "Fenrys! Kalinda! Get out of the springs! We've been invaded by a kraken!!"

A malicious ten foot squid with tentacles as long, if not longer that its body slides itself into the pool seeking specific victims. Sent on its mission by the mothers of the giants Fen slew, the kraken seeks Fenrys for doing the killings and Gretta for saving his life. Kalinda flash freezes a section of water into a spear of ice to lance the kraken. Fenrys accesses a hidden recess to claim a trident he purchased from a southern merchant and placed in this receptacle for just such an emergency. The kraken chases after Fen and ignores Kalinda for now as she hurls the shards of energy after the sinister squid. Dodging the initial charge of the kraken, Fenrys plunges the tines of his trident deep into the tough mantle of the monster's body. In pain but undaunted, the kraken sends a barbed tentacle into Fen's flesh. Writhing in pain, Fenrys jabs at one eye and effectively blinds the killer cephalopod in that side. Shrieking, more with indignation than actual pain, the kraken flails its tentacles, knocking out Kalinda and angering Fenrys. Blinding the other eye, he gets to the beak and plunges the trident deep before sending a mental command to the weapon. A huge jolt of electricity surges into the kraken and fries its brain. Now dying, the kraken races blindly to get away from the ranger. Bringing his drowning bride to the surface, he is just in time to see Gretta leading a war party to the springs. Gretta heals Kalinda as the body of the kraken that attacked those that were here floats to the surface.

"You were able to take out a kraken under water?" Gretta inquire incredulously.

Kalinda gives her a coughing laugh. "Hey, we're talented that way."

"Uh, oh!" Exclaims an otter upon examining the corpse of the kraken; he points to some markings on the sea monster. "I hope these aren't what I think they are."

"Haggatha_" Fenrys relates as he reads the markings. "I've been meaning to deal with that old witch. She's been terrorizing the countryside for too long."

"You would challenge, Haggatha, the Frost Witch!?!" Gretta asks, with wild wide eyes as she shakes visibly with fear. "Now I know you're crazy!"

"Well_" Kalinda giggles, "That's only part of the story. Fen considers her reign of terror a bad reflection on himself."

"You believe taking down Haggatha will remove this stain upon your record?" An older voice from behind them asks.

Everyone whirls around to behold an ancient looking wolf with an impressive wrack of antlers.

"Haggatha is more a marker I have yet to act upon, Avatar." Fenrys says calmly as Kalinda cowers behind him.

"Always the Hero aren't you?" Avatar frowns at Fenrys as everyone else averts their gaze. "But such is your fate to live your life dancing on the edge of a shard. Always the rising star, bur remember, Fenrys, with every plateau you reach there is always the fall afterward. You have reached a great height, ranger, the world shall tremble when you embrace it with your plummet."

"You've been saying that for years, old man." Fenrys scoffs. "I grow weary of your prophecies of doom. Why are you here?"

Avatar picks up his staff. "Haggatha's demise at this juncture would shift the balance too far into the favor of the light. You will leave here or face me in combat."

"Haggatha sent that kraken for a reason, Avatar." Fenrys growls at the powerful druid.

Avatar shakes his head and says evenly: "You killed her daughter, Fenrys, it was an act of vengeance. I would go to her to instruct her that she has no right to pursue this any further."

"You don't seriously expect her to capitulate do you?" Fen asks in cynical disbelief as he shakes his head to indicate he really does not believe that avatar has the presence to cow the evil sorceress.

"She will be given_" Avatar starts before the kraken comes to life and grabs him in one of its tentacles.

"Foolish druid!!!" A gravelly feminine voice screams forth from the squid. "I defer only to Ymir!! All must suffer in revenge for what has been done to our Eternal Master!"

"Neat trick, Haggatha," Smirked an annoyed Fenrys as he charges the zombie squid. "But a zombie kraken is not quite as powerful as living one."

"Ah! There you are, Fenrys, foolish pup, you think you can defy my will? You do pretty good against our children, but how do you fare against a fellow ranger of our kind?" With that a twelve foot tall frost giant with two axes rises out of the pool. "Deal with the dog in armor, Yaromir, so the will of our god may be served."

"I hear and obey, my queen." Says Yaromir reverently.

Axes in hands, the rangers face each other and snarl in challenge. Gretta and Kalinda look at each other and collectively sigh as they take up arms only to be knocked aside by the undead squid. "No interference," Haggatha projects angrily. Kalinda launches a lance of light at the beast causing it to writhe in agony. Flinging her into Fenrys by mistake; both wolven tumble past an axe blow that might have killed him. Shrieking in frustration Haggatha has her undead kraken grab Kalinda and dive beneath the surface of the pool. Furious now, Fenrys has joined his axes and takes out a knee of his oversized opponent from behind. Dropping to a kneeling position, the giant grabs Fenrys and pops the wolven into his cavernous mouth. From his position Fenrys attempts to hack his way to the other's brain. Hack climbing up the giant's spine, Fenrys tunnels his way into the cranium of his opponent. In tremendous pain as he does this, Yaromir eventually passes out; it's a sleep from which he will never awaken as Fenrys eventually hacks his way out through the giant's forehead. Soaked in both blood and brain juice Fenrys raises his axe and gives a victory howl upon his emergence before collapsing on the frozen ground. When he comes to, Gretta is attending him. Lying besides him naked, the skald is lightly dozing. She hugs him upon awakening; clinging tightly to his body.

"Rest, mighty warrior." Gretta coos. "Regain your strength."

Fenrys shakes his head and starts to get dressed. "I can't rest, Gretta, I have to rescue Kalinda."

"I'm not enough for you?" Gretta asks pitifully.

He gives her a kiss. "What's enough is irrelevant. I do what is right and just. I serve the light. That's why I do what I do. Fame; fortunes; I seek them not. But they can be useful tools never the less."

"Boss!" A wolverine cries upon bursting into the room. "I got the news from a local, what happened?"

"Killed a pair of frostees, Lars, apparently, the bitch was Haggatha's cub." Fenrys starts evenly. "That hag of a giantess sicked a kraken on me."

"You have a knack for pissing off the wrong folk, boss." Lars says with a chuckle. "I take it you got to use that electric trident Barok was huffing about?"

"Worked like a charm. You know I bought that for just such an emergency." Fenrys grins. "Unfortunately after wards Avatar showed up again."

"Meddlesome druid." Lars spits on the ground. "I hope you gave him what for!"

Fenrys just laughs and shakes his head again. "Didn't have to, Haggatha did a remote animation followed by sending another frostee. Took all I had to take him down. When I could even partially see again, I saw that stinkin' squid take off with Kalinda."

"The Seeker is ready to sail, Captain." Lars reports.

Fenrys nods and grimly smiles. "Good, meet Gretta, she'll be our skald for awhile."

"What about Yon?" Lars asks. "He might not like the competition."

Gretta cocks her head to the side and asks: "Yon Talbot of Lappland?" Lars nods and then she continues. "I've been meaning to get back with him. We studied under the same teacher."

"You're that Gretta!?!" Lars and Fenrys yell at once.

Gretta giggles as she lies on top of Fenrys, her muzzle over his groin. "I guess he's said a few things about me."

"The lynx still relates how you got drunk and initiated an orgy." Lars says wistfully. "I still can't believe it."

"Yeah, three things combined to initiate that fiasco that may never come into play again." Gretta blushes as she relates the tale. "I was horny, drunk and bored so I decided to liven things up and possibly get laid. The former is a matter of opinion but the latter I got in spades!"

"Having wild sex with an entire crew should scratch that itch." Fenrys says as he chuckles and shakes his head.

"Mhmmm_" Gretta murmurs as she licks at Fen's sheathe while Fen and Lars nod at each other before Fenrys says: "Get everyone together to go aviking, Lars, I'll be there shortly."

"Aye, Cap'n!"

Gretta continues to enjoy Fen's body as Lars leaves. Fenrys gives into his own need for sexual gratification as he loves Gretta for about an hour. Yon smirks as he watches Gretta board. Gretta smirks back to Yon as Fenrys had given her more than enough to satisfy her urges for now. Sailing out of port the warriors make their way alongside a treacherous route of frozen terrain. Bitter winds rake the muzzles of those on board. Both skalds do their best to keep up the spirits of the crew. However, it's Haggatha herself who ultimately gives them the greatest boost to their morale. Sending out another kraken, this time Fenrys had all the favored terrain as the carcass was later butchered for provisions.

Brooding in her floating tower concealed within an iceberg; Haggatha grumbles to herself as she watches the mostly wolven crew slaughter her other kraken. Avatar and Kalinda are stripped nude and bound in a frozen cage suspended in a corner of the witch's kitchen which doubles as her laboratory. Towering at an even eleven feet tall, Haggatha is still considered to be a young maiden by the standards of frost giants. Pacing the floor, Haggatha mutters to herself as to what she should do next. Glancing over to her prisoners, she smiles hungrily. Appraising the two she bound to keep them from being able to cast any spells, Haggatha murmurs to herself.

"Girlie or wolfbuck? I want one of the newer spell casting types." Then sees a bunny wizardess who wasn't as good as thought she was. "If I know that goody-goody by reputation I want to wait on his bitch until he gets here so he can witness her demise and despair of us. I will take steps to neutralize any threat he might pose."

Reaching into the cage; she pulls out Avatar and shoves a metal pole in his tail hole. Still alive as the shaft goes through his body to exit out his muzzle, his wrists and ankles are bound together so he can be roasted that much more easily. Satisfied with her handiwork, Haggatha puts the spit on the fire to roast; an unseen servant turning the spit to make sure the druid is cooked evenly. Kalinda is horrified though she, like her fellow prisoners, can do little else but watch.

Sailing towards where Fenrys thinks Haggatha's iceberg tower is currently floating, the crew comes across a sea serpent dozing in their path. Reluctant to slay the sleeping sea monster, Fenrys swims out to talk with it. However as he approaches, what was thought to be a sea serpent turn out to be a false sea dragon also known as a plesiosaur. A plesiosaur that happens to be sentient in fact; one that is favorably disposed towards Fenrys as the ranger saved her from slavery and probably death and consumption by Haggatha. Named Freya by Fenrys he explains the situation, which gives her a few ideas. In the interest in gaining vengeance on the Frost Witch, Freya tows the long ship to where the tower is floating and wishes them good luck before she spots a kraken to attack for dinner. Fenrys wishes her good luck before contemplating how he is going to get inside. With scales glistening like newly fallen snow and carried aloft by leathery wings colored like clear weather clouds, a dragon of the north descends on the ship screeching its displeasure. Lars and a few of the other wolverines hurl javelins at the snow dragon as it makes its initial pass. Long spears are distributed among the crew as Fenrys dives into the frigid water in full battle gear. Gretta follows soon after so as not to become dragon chow. Diving after the ranger, the dragon almost capsizes the ship with its wake.

Swimming up to the dragon, Fenrys gets eaten by this creature as well. Unfortunately for the dragon, this meal does not go down easily. Digging in with his axes, Fenrys holds in the throat of the dragon. Making his way to the gigantic windpipe of the over sized lizard, Fenrys cuts a huge hole there as he hacks his way to the outside; letting the influx of water to drown his scaled opponent. He's about to exit the hole he just made when Gretta passes him on her way down to the dragon's stomach. Diving after her, Fenrys grabs her as they hit the acid bath. Guiding her out through the excretory tract, the pair swims towards what seems like the surface. Breaking the waters inside an unheated lake, the pair swims to shore, only to narrowly escape the notice of a patrol of yeti.

"Yeti still exist?" Gretta asks incredulously.

Fenrys sighs and shakes his head. "If you can call it that. Most tribes are slaves of the frost giants. They provide them fine manipulation and spies, guards and food when prey is scarce."

"And then what do they eat?" Asks Gretta fearfully as she watches out for any more of the shaggy humanoids coming their way. "Fish?"

"Fish comprise some of their diet." Fenrys states. "I hear it's more often survivors of those ships the icebergs wreck."

"Doesn't that make them wendigo?" Gretta inquires.

Shaking his head, Fenrys replies: "No, but it does lead up to the act that does. It takes an act of cannibalism to complete the transformation." Gretta starts to protest but Fenrys puts up a hand to stop her. "Eating furs like us only counts if we're alive and then only in severe cases. It's when a yeti eats a yeti that he becomes a wendigo."

"It's that act of betrayal then." Gretta conjectures to which Fenrys nods. "I've heard stories but never thought_"

"I've lived it too many times. But there's little we can do. Fate has cursed them to this wretched life. And what's worse, they resigned themselves to it."

"Sad, do you think they might have Kalinda among them?"

Fenrys sighs and shakes his head. "Kalinda and Avatar were taken straight to Haggatha herself. Yeti are just flunkies."

Making their way through the icy complex, the pair manage to avoid Haggatha's yeti guards. But the witch keeps other guards than her slaves. Harder to avoid are her ice golems who are disguised as statuary or made to look like simple snowmen. However neither Fenrys nor Gretta is a fool and after a few encounters, these too are easily overcome. At least until Greta is eaten by a door that shuts itself with thick pack ice that Fen can't hack his way through.

Appearing in a cell near Kalinda, Gretta is strippednude and tied up so as she can be raped by any male that comes along. Kalinda looks over at Gretta and smirks. Her wrists and ankles bound so she is forced into a praying position, Kalinda is reduced to constructed pantomime by her iron collar. Gretta is in no better shape as her muzzle is fitted with a gag that allows her to drink and suck but not speak.

Rolling, hacking and slashing his way to Haggatha's main chamber, Fenrys smirks as he spies the compromising positions the girls are in. Haggatha is stooped over a brew of some kind. Knowing enough about spell casting to recognize she's brewing potions, Fen hits upon an idea. Sneaking up on top of the shelf over the bubbling cauldron where ingredients are kept; Fenrys waits for a suitable distraction. The smell of cooked meat wafts through the air as a lithe bunny from a southern harem is turned slowly on the spit. While Haggatha takes a meal break to devour the cooked rabbit, Fenrys dumps jars haphazardly into the mix without rhyme or reason. When she stoops over the cauldron next to get a whiff of her concoction, Fenrys closes the heavy lid on top of her head and seals it securely. Angered at this intrusion, Haggatha struggles to free herself from the cauldron.

"Let me out of here, Fenrys!" Haggatha howls. "I know you're there_Ow!" She screams as her face is scalded by the bubbling liquid. "I'll get you for this!"

"Unlikely." Fenrys coos. "I dumped everything into your cauldron." Haggatha's struggles become more and more intense as she realizes the trap laid out for her. "I wonder if the explosion will kill you outright_"

"I'll survive, huskarl, and I swear I'll get even." But Fenrys remains unimpressed: "A pity your neck is the pot_" Fen starts before the cauldron explodes. Haggatha is hurled back into her sink, knocking her unconscious. Unwilling to take the chance of her actually surviving, Fenrys decapitates her with his axe before raiding the prison.

Seeing how the prisoners are arranged; Fenrys frees everyone except Gretta and Kalinda. Gretta is annoyed watching him ignore her, but Kalinda caught the glint in his eye and just laugh. Confused at her mirth, Gretta giggles herself as she watches Fenrys yiff his wife and waits her turn. After Fenrys finally frees them, the girls insist on returning the favor. Allowing himself to be bound, Fenrys enjoys having the two of them attend him. Sailing for home, Gretta has a few questions for Kalinda.

"You were acting pretty compliant to the yeti that were raping us, Kalinda, why? You might have gotten pregnant!"

"I'm already pregnant, Gretta," Kalinda coos. "I bear pups sired by my husband. I know I'm not showing yet, but I know my own body."

"Does he know?"

Kalinda shrugs: "I think he suspects. But he respects me too much to ask me directly, this is one of the reasons I consider it an honor to carry our cubs."

"I was waiting for you to tell me directly." Calls Fen from behind them; they give each other the classic "Oh, Shit!" look before Kalinda asks: "How long?"

"A few minutes, it is my ship."

Kalinda goes shame faced. "I'm sorry, Fen, I was gathering the courage to face you."

"Linda!" Fenrys exclaims in exasperation. "I thought we had agreed that we wanted children."

"I know, love," Kalinda sighs as hugs her husband; "I just didn't know how to tell you."

Gretta sighs: "I'll leave you two_is that fire I see?"

The village they were going to visit to tell of Haggatha's demise before going home is now ablaze as they approach. Giant figures can be seen through the haze. Angered; Fenrys neglects to wait for the others as he dives into the water and swims to shore. Gretta watches him in amazement as Kalinda just sighs. Docking the ship themselves, Lars leads a search party to find their leader. Gretta goes with them as Kalinda sits quietly on the furs of bed holding a hand mirror near her muzzle. Haggatha's scowling face appears instead of her own reflection to berate the sorceress.

"Filthy little whore!" Haggatha yells in a voice only Kalinda can hear. "I'm ashamed I wasted my time on you!"

"Is that the best you can do?" Kalinda growls back he face twisted in anger. "I am you slave and apprentice no longer, you oversized human bitch! Any and all obligations I had to you were rescinded when my husband separated your unworthy head from your equally unworthy shoulders."

"My death does not release you from your obligations, huskarl bitch!" Haggatha bellows with a voice that parts Kalinda's hair. "I'll make you barren! I swear it!"

"You need a body to do that, Haggatha." Kalinda smirks as she holds her head up proud as she looks down on the face of her former mentor. "I will not help you procure one in any case. Besides I have no fear of being barren. I feel the son of Fenrys in my womb as I speak."

"You still have to bring the brat to term_"Says an evilly grinning Haggatha before she sees something that fills her with horror. "No! Come no closer! Noooo!"

The mirror shatters of its own accord as Kalinda smirks.

"Bye, bye, bitch!" Enjoy yourself as a slave of Hel."

Kalinda sighs happily and spreads herself on the furs. "Oh, Fenrys, I hope to bear you many children before Haggatha finds a way to make me sterile. Indulge me a little longer; you are my liberator."

In the village Fenrys faces off against three club wielding frost giants. Riding a club to the shoulder of the one fifteen feet giant, Fenrys prepares himself for battle in earnest. Throwing caution to the wind, his fellow warrior still tries to smash Fenrys with his own club. Jumping out of the way, Fenrys chuckles as the giants go at each other while he leaps onto the shoulders of the third giant. Neatly decapitating him, the high wolf warrior of the wilderness rides the corpse of his latest victim to the ground. By the time Lars and his compatriots have joined their Captain amidst the burning buildings, they see he has managed to kill one and convinced two to fight each other. Crashing through a few of the buildings are wresting giants, which gives the group cause to laugh. Raising their clubs the remaining giants charge only to run into the pike hedge Lars and the crew set up beforehand. Setting up the two handed axe, Fenrys swings an extra wide arc that just manages to decapitate both giants in the same swing. Upon returning to his cabin on the longboat Fenrys finds Kalinda sleeping nude on their bed. Smiling to herself, Fenrys strips himself and then lies next to his wife to join her in the realm of dreams. Gretta looks in on them and smiles before joining Yon in inspiring the crew to take them home.
