Havi: Let us take what we need and go! We've no time to tarry. (If Havi made it back to the door undetected) Loki: Then let us fade like shadows in the light. Havi made it to the back of the cave, where there were three crates of paint. The animals awoke and turned into Jotnar. Inside were several more sleeping animals. For you and your son, is that clear?Ĭonversation over, they turned their attention to the door, working together to force it open. Or the blood-oath that binds me is forfeit. He rescued my son from Jotunheim, so I agreed to bring him here, and help him find work. did you know this Builder before we met him at Heimdall's tower? Together, Havi and Loki defeated the two Jotnar. 
Havi: More deception! The Builder will suffer for this. The Builder's supplies must be hidden behind this door. Havi spotted a red door set into the wall of the cave with two glowing runes inscribed on it. Havi inspected some crates and bags to one side. Loki: Are those the Builder's pets? He has strange tastes. Some way in, Havi spotted tracks in the mud.įollowing the tracks, they found a cave near the shore, entrance boarded over. Together, Havi and Loki made their way south from the tower, where Loki had noted activity. Loki: They must be nearby! He never left this area! Mostly never!. Havi: So, you do not know where he kept his supplies?. I didn't say I was watching him every moment. In a flash of blue, Loki returned to his usual appearance. Loki-as-Freyja: A reminder of who's at stake. Havi: Why do you still wear Freyja's form?. I hope we will have words when this is done. Havi: Thor, Tyr, watch our guest closely. Loki went to the side of the tower to wait while Havi addressed the others. 
Loki-as-Freyja: To Helheim with him, Havi! I know where he keeps his enchanted paint.The Builder walked off and the others watched, gathering around Havi. The Builder: Has this sad spectacle been for my sake alone? I've seen better drama on the festering carcass of a dead pig.If this scheme turns sour, I will fight for you 'til my sinews snap and my bones break. Havi: You are no one's prize just yet.Freyja: You tried to avoid responsibility by not making a choice, but that was a choice in itself.The Builder watched on, rubbing his hands together with a grin. Thor grunted and moved out of her way, and Freyja advanced on Havi. Loki, still appearing as Freyja, stood back. Freyja: You have next to nothing, Æsir! Only this useless monument to your ineptitude.Tyr started to approach Freyja, but she walked past him. The real Freyja walked in, Thor, Tyr and Loki all looking panicked. Freyja: I'll bring myself if you don't mind.The Builder: Treachery! Bring me the real Freyja or my offer is withdrawn!.Loki-as-Freyja: I've been told it has a seductive quality.Loki-as-Freyja: And yours are cold and rough as unpolished stone.When Freyja spoke, it was with Loki's voice.
The Builder: Delicious! Your lips are two pillows on a bed of reinrose petals!. The Builder kissed Freyja, who quickly shoved him away, wiping her mouth in disgust. The Builder: Yes, a kiss! A brief taste to whet my appetite!. Still silent, Freyja shook her head in panic. Thor: Quit stalling and kiss her, dung-mead! Consummate your betrothal!. The Builder: It will be a rude awakening if she does not come around willingly! I will not use her gently. She prefers this dreamlike state to the ugly reality. Havi: She was shocked into a waking sleep at the news of her betrothal. The Builder: Why does she leer so wickedly?. Havi: Outside help? Interesting choice of words.įrom one side, Freyja approached, flanked by Tyr and Thor.Ĭonfused, Havi moved to question them, but stopped when he received a wink from Thor.įreyja looked up with a strange grin. The Builder: Our agreement said nothing about outside help. Havi: Who helped you complete the work, Builder? You could not have managed so quickly on your own. The Builder: One rune remains, which I shall inscribe after I am wed. The Builder walked up the steps to stand in the center of the tower. Havi: You're finished? The tower is functional?. The Builder: Not my best work, but it has a certain glow. The Builder: Like what you see? Quite the tower, hm?. Have we been outplayed?Īs Havi entered the tower, the Builder called out to him. From a distance, though, it appeared the tower was already complete. Havi went to speak to the Builder about their deal. 
Havi went to inspect the tower that The Builder had completed at Indre Holm.
