Einherjar 987 AD
By Juleigh Howard-Hobson AOR
To claim the future’s birthright as their own
The einherjar, reborn on old blood lines
To old families all, came back. Winds had blown
Bitter change since they last entered time:
No more tall Thor poles guarded hof and hill
No longer did Odin hear his name sung
Out in blot and sumbel. All gone. Yet still
Their people lived. For this Allfather hung
Nine days and nine nights? For this mighty Tyr
Gave his hand so that Fenris, Loki’s son,
Might not destroy the worlds? What kind of wyrd
Had Midgard wove? What deeds were left undone
By those who died so that when they returned
Everything they had died for…overturned?
