Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 10:04:22 PM)
*Caid had spent the week so far carrying heavy things, doing chores, and at least once sparring with Bastion - who spanked him of course, but only just. Still he was getting tired of being a work horse, waiting for an opportunity to learn something, but he was far too polite a guest than to demand anything of the tribe - they'd notice and show him....*

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 10:06:20 PM)
*he was at the moment carrying a sharpening stone - a big one - up a hillside to an elder. something about a Grand Klaive? He wasn't going to drop that task - nooooo....*

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 10:11:52 PM)
*The elder he found sitting at the top of the hill side, sititng indian style on the ground with his weapon over his lap as he looked on at a spar that was happening. There was a younger guy standing beside the elder.The younger man seemed no more then 20 but no younger then 18, he had a long braided goatee and long wild blonde hair which was also braided he was tall and broad, but seemed to be watching the sparing with a look of humor on his features.*

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 10:13:50 PM)
*Caid stepped up and held out the sharpening stone, but he stayed put, waiting for the elder to be ready to take it, and as soon as he indicated Caid stepped forward enough to pass it to the man without being intrusive....*

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 10:18:44 PM)
*It in the moment that lightning stuck the hill side as caid handed over the stone and before caid could step back from the elder it was a down pour of icey cold rain from the skies above.. The attension focused on the spar grew intence and the elder grabbed caids forarm and nodded with his chin towards the spar indicating caid to watch without himself pulling his gaze away.. even with the rain soaking through the hair and running down the face and arms*

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 10:20:56 PM)
*caid froze and his head snapped around to watch the fight. If the Elder was entranced, then something was up..*

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 10:24:51 PM)
*It was then that caid saw her, the woman with the pale skin like one would think snow white from the brothers grim tales would have, her hair as black as a ravens wings, the german sword within her grasp held with the skill of a well trained solider of old, her red dress was moveable breatheable but not loose enough to hinder her movements. the sound of the rain hitting against the blade she held was like out of a fenris lullabye the rain only blocking her vision completely with the fall of her bangs into her face, yet she managed to strike down her oponent to lay upon the ground with one hand up in mercy format declareing her the winner*

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 10:27:45 PM)
Kriegdanse. *he smiled, but spke only very softly, glanced for only a split second to the elder, then back to the Fenrir - unsure if she was kin or true, because with this tribe it wasn't a given....*

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 10:32:30 PM)
*The elder nodded his head and seeing the spar was completed he said to caid* thank you for the sharpening stone.. much appreciated.. *then he clapped for the woman who took her bow then she reached down and helped her oponent up.. She grinned and left her bangs in her face.. The younger guy who had been standing beside the elder nudged Caid* Your from that sept in new orleans right? *the man spoke german to caid thinking caid understood it*

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 10:36:09 PM)
*Caid nodded and anwered in German* I am from New Orleans. My name is Caid. ( Ich bin von New Orleans. Ich werde Caid angerufen. )

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 10:40:25 PM)

*He offered his hand to shake* Caid Younger, deeded... Boxy... Cliath of the Fang of Garm, Modi, and Alpha to Hunter's Bane.

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 10:44:40 PM)
*He shook caids hand* honor to meet you boxy.. must be a boxer huh like those american boxers and such? Mean left hook? You more of a brawler then a swords men then?

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 10:46:09 PM)
*He nodded* I am. I am not as skilled at Anvil Rhya or One Swing Rhya, but I make sure they don't let their guard down when we spar. *he glanced back down the hill* when it comes to swords, no. I really haven't got any skill. yet.

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 10:50:31 PM)
She's one of our kinfolk..

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 10:51:29 PM)
She was named skadi at birth after a famous ancestor of her line.. *He says* The Mag pie clan.. There so famous even mortals tell legends of them, surely you have heard of them.

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 10:52:59 PM)
I have heard the name Skadi. Heard Galliards at my home sept tell the tales. But I'm no Skald so I'd be a poor substitute for their skills....

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 10:53:23 PM)
she's skilled. My own mate is one of the Black Eagles. I am very proud of her.

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 10:53:54 PM)
oh? so you know the tale then?

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 10:55:35 PM)
*He shook his head* not all of it. I have heard them speak the name Skadi... I know it was an important history lesson, but I haven't had the luxury to sit and listen to it in it's entirity.

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 10:56:00 PM)
I would be happy to tell it to you, I am a skald afterall..

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 10:56:32 PM)
*He nodded* I would hear what you have to say then. *He smiled at that, German history from a German storyteller....*

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 10:59:05 PM)
*The man smiled and he waves his hands in the air.. and stars with..* let me create the scene for you, if you will.. If you have ever been out alone, far from any dwelling, at night in the hills or mountains on a cold, crisp night when the moon is bright, and lays a bluish sheen over the snow, an uncanny feeling comes over you that you are in an alien world, one not native to the human animal, and potentially deadly to him. Skadi embodies that sense of dangerous otherness that pervades the winter landscape, for she is a goddess of the mountains and forests of wolves and Mag pie, of hunting and archery. She is traveler over treacherous snow and ice she is the first of the mag pie clan. *With the geman tounge and the way his expression of voice and the movements of his body it was allmost as if caid could see it feel it snow instead of rain on his face.. the rageing storm around him seemed to dissapear as he was swept up in the skalds tale*

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 11:01:06 PM)
Our Legends have few descriptions of people, and even fewer of ones so old, so that our sense of Skadi's appearance is either visionary or unsubstantiated personal gnosis. My own sense of her which is very strong, but has no other particular authority, is of a tall, slim, strongly featured woman with very white skin, very deep, very bright, dark blue eyes, and heavy, wavy black hair. *The way he described her allmost fit the kinfolk to a T except her hair was very straight and not wavey at all*

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 11:03:20 PM)
*Caid smiled and listened, translating on the fly in his head, occasionally missing a word as he was not a native speaker, but able to intuit meaning and deeply absorbed. His mind wasn't a steel trap, but he was practiced enough to get the tale, and attentive enough to love what he was hearing and interpreting....*

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 11:05:08 PM)
Shortly after Idun's return from Thrym-heim, and Thiassi's death within the bounds of Asgard, the assembled gods were greatly surprised and dismayed to see Skadi, the gian't daughter, appear one day in their midst, to demand satisfaction for her father's death. Although the daughter of an ugly old Hrim-thurs, Skadi, the goddess of winter, was very beautiful indeed, in her silvery armour, with her glittering spear, sharp-pointed arrows, short white hunting dress, white fur leggings, and broad snowshoes; and the gods could not but recognize the justice of her claim, wherefore they offered the usual fine atonement. *He grinned at the audacity of the gods version of attonment but made no mention of it just yet to keep caid in suspence.*

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 11:07:11 PM)
(Thiassi... ROFL... I had a PC named Thjazi.) *He listened, sure the Skald would get to the price for the dishonor* BLood will be spilled, yes?

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 11:09:21 PM)
Skadi, however, was so angry that she at first refused this compromise, and sternly demanded a life for a life, until Loki, wishing to appease her wrath, and thinking that if he could only make her cold lips relax in a smile the rest would ben easy, began to play all manner of pranks. Fastening a goat to himself by an invisible cord, he went through a series of antics, which were reproduced by the goat; and the sight was so grotesque that all the gods fairly shouted with merriment, and even Skadi Clan leader of the Mag Pie was forced to smile. Taking advantage of this softened mood, the gods pointed to the fimament where her father's eyes glowed like radiant stars in the northern hemisphere. They told her they had placed them there to show him all honour, and finally added that she might select as husband any of the gods present at the assembly, provided she were content to judge of their attractions by their naked feet. *The skald pointed down to his own boot covered feet and wiggled them in a ridiculous

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 11:09:40 PM)
Manner to show how silly it would be to choose a mate by there feet!*

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 11:10:45 PM)
*Caid Snorted* And to this I suspect she demanded a better recompense?

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 11:12:58 PM)
*He chuckled at Caid and said* well not exactly.. See what happened was.. Blindfolded, so that she could see only the feet of the gods standing in a circle around her, Skadi looked about her and her gaze fell upon a pair of beautifully formed feet. She felt sure they must belong to Balder, the god of light, whose bright face had charmed her, and she designated their owner as her choice. *He grinned impishly indicating that the poor woman likely picked the wrong set of feet..*

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 11:13:47 PM)
When the bandage was removed, however, she discovered to he chagrin that she had chosen Niord, to whom her troth was plighted; but not with standing her disappointment, she spent a happy honeymoon in Asgard, where all seemed to delight in doing her honour. After this, Niord took his bride home to Noatun, where the monotonous sound of the waves, the shrieking of the gulls, and the cries of the seals so dusturbed Skadi's slumbers that she finally declared it was quite impossible for her to remain there any longer, and she implored her husband to take her back to her native Thrym-heim.

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 11:16:15 PM)
*He nodded, thinking to himself that divorce couldn't have been easier in those legendary eras and times, and wondering at the truth and the metaphor in the tale.*

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 11:16:19 PM)
*He chuckled to him it was a lesson also on why arranged breeding was foolish* Niord, anxious to please his new wife, consented to take her to Thrym-heim and to dwell thee with her nine nights out of every twelve, providing she would spend the remaining three with him at Noatun; but when he reached the mountain region, the soughing of the wind in the pines, the thunder of the avalanches, the cracking of the ice, the roar of the waterfalls, and the howling of the wolves appeared to him as unbearable as the sound of the sea had seemed to his wife, and he cound not but rejoice each time when his period of exile was ended, and he found himself again at Noatum.

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 11:18:22 PM)
*Caid chuckled* All just background noise, but one woman's song, another man's cacphony....

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 11:18:51 PM)
For some time Nirod and Skadi, who are the personifications of summer and winter, alternated thus, the wife spending the three short summer months by the sea, and he reluctantly remaining with her in in Thrym-heim during the nine long winter months. But, concluding at last that their tastes would never agree, they decided to part for ever, and returned to their respective homes. It is said that the Skadi then married Odin to which they bore many children from there pairing one of which was the legendary Hladir jarls.. It is important to note that this Warrior Women of the Mag Pie Clan hunted the Snowey mountains beside the wolves, she honored the prey in which substained her, she lived in the harshest conditions, and showed no fear even to the gods themselves. Like the mag pie her pale skin only accented by the beauty of her raven colored hair.. She challenged the very gods themselves when they murdered her father and to this day her laugh at Lokis pranks can be heard in the mag pies cry.

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 11:21:22 PM)
*he smiled* And the mag Pie laughs often. Thank you for the tale Follows in Footsteps Rhya.

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 11:23:35 PM)
*the elder whom was seated near by clapped his hands together at the end of the skalds tale as did the woman and the other whom she had been sparing. The elder responed with a compliment*

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 11:24:00 PM)
*Caid bowed his head in deference to the elder*

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 11:24:07 PM)
Your skill in the old tales is exceptional for your age, truly you do your pack proud..

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 11:24:47 PM)
*The skald bowed then offered caid a bright grin* its a honor to tell the tales of the fenris spirits and anscestors..

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 11:25:21 PM)
i'd hear more while I'm here, will you speak at the moot brother?

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 11:29:07 PM)
*he nodded his head*I think I will have a story ready for the moot as well!!

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 11:29:34 PM)
*He bowed* You honor me with your lesson. I hope I can repay the favor some day.

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 11:33:08 PM)
*He grinned at him* perhaps you can..

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 11:33:28 PM)
If I ever came to america it would be nice to have a place to sleep while i am there.

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 11:33:33 PM)

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 11:35:27 PM)

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 11:43:27 PM)
*He handed over a tatered business card from his wallet* of course. I doubt I'll be at any other number.

Caid Younger (Aug 15, 2011 11:44:53 PM)
(The card was a local chevry dealership, but it had Caid's number on the back.)

Lore Master (Aug 15, 2011 11:46:51 PM)
