Payback Time

The four o’clock revenge-wave from Cimbria rolled in on the cost of Scotland. The canal crossing was influenced by some anxiety in the ranks. The Midgaard worm was annoyed about Ragnar Lodbrog called him ‘Big fat snake’ and as usually it turned into a fistfight that spread like fire among the Godly crowd. When the raven-brothers Hugin and Munin carpet bombed the combatants with guano, escalated the disput and raised a minor hurricane and thunderstorm.
An old shepherd herding his sheep’s was watching the rumbling and lightning in the horizon and mumbled to himself “Oh no… not again – hope they haven’t got that freekin Fenris wolf whit this time…brrr”.
Odin who took the shape of, he always travels incognito, the brave and bold Mogens Blood-axe, and talked to the annoyed shepherd “Hvor finder æ him dersens Onkel Donkel vho vover a pis’ å Valhalla”. The shepherd scratched his fleabites and said “Vaaath”. Loke pushed Odin by side and said “lad mig”. “Oncliach Dumnaillaigh - got a hen to pick with him”. More fleabites-scratching. The lack of language skills and general awareness of the missing sense of direction lead Odin to send out the unpopular ravens to look for Oncliach Dumnaillaigh.
The ravens found OD’s shed (by coincident) and the Revenge battalion marched in turmoil and disarray to the unfinished cross shaped shed that were an inspiration for later church-architects (in some cases their works were completed and the cross shape were more defined)
Elde, Ask og Urd, Fenja and Menja, Læ with wifie Ran, who brought a couple of dead sailors she recently had drowned. Thor and Sif, with the kids - it was almost full strength. Only those who still vomit after the last mjød-party stayed at home. The God-bunch was standing around the unfinished cross shaped shed were OD was hiding under a dog (he didn’t have a finished table to hide under) who slept peaceful despite the noise from the festive crowd, and the freezing cold from the Fenris wolf, outside.
“Onkel Dunkel Dummergøj….kom ut a e bræddeskur….mæ det vons” thunders Odin, ”do har pisset å Valhalla, å nu må do ta’ æe næsestyver å æ kindhest for å vær’ en kæltring”. CoaghCoagh the Ur-Chioaghoaghlaiathaidh Laibraidhghoughr and Mythic Sun-Dog of the Vest wakes up and OD tried to hide under a half finished guitar instead. CoaghCoagh greets Odin with dignity “Whozup Odin-man – OD peed in your pie again”. “Jep” Odin replies “He has to take back that cobbert-fagget thing he said about some friend of mine” Odin looks friendly at the handsome and intelligent CC who says with a sigh. “OD, you must finish your half finished shed and paint it black before springtime to honor our neighbor Gods” CC thinks with a wrinkle between his eyes “ …..and give Susanne The-by-Gods-protected that iron sculpture she likes …or the hole menagerie kicks your ass” . Odin nods his head and says “Bad time ass kicking”. Side by side Odin and CC sits on the unfinished doorstep and enjoy the sundown together in silence. Everybody else except OD, he was fiddling with a half finished fiddle, had a blast of a party.
To be continued some time….God knows when.
Writher’s thoughts: Normally it’s said that you shall not throw stones if you live in a glasshouse, but I think that’s tasteless. It’s friendlier to throw stones IF you live in a glasshouse.
