Somewhere in the darkness shines a little light on a blue horizon

Charon had expected Osprey to excitedly agree to the story, so it was an unexpected surprise to him that she instead seemed to doubt whether or not she would listen to another story. He tilted his head in question as she considered, but his confidence soon returned when Osprey said 'fire away'. He wasn't sure what vikings said instead of 'fire away', so he refrained from coming up with a better, more vikingy catchphrase.

"Okay! Well, there was once this wolf called Ragnar Lothbrock," Charon said, butchering Ragnar's family name in the progress. "He fell in love with a wolf called Thistle Cloud and they once lived somewhere else," Charon refrained from mentioning where, for he only knew that they had relocated at some point so he had to make due with the details he knew. "Then one day the leader of their pack died, and Ragnar and Thistle Cloud Lothbrock decided to move to a new home where they raised their family. They had a couple of really cool pups who became warriors like their parents." Charon sort of ran out of things to say -- he could explain about how he, Levi and Liyaní had been adopted, but then the viking theme would be dwindling -- and fell silent for a short while. "And Thistle Cloud had a friend called Julooke, and together they were shield maidens, which means they were really cool viking female wolves who could defend themselves and stuff like that."

Finally Charon started to hear the roar of the waterfall in the distance, and he quickened his pace, before halting and realising that Osprey still couldn't go very fast. "And the waterfall we're visiting is named after the old pack leader of the pack who died, because Julooke and Thistle Cloud the viking wolves were the pack leader's shield maidens, so the waterfall is called Shield Maiden's Falls." Charon looked back at Osprey and excitedly waited for her to catch up so that he could show Shield Maiden's Falls to her.
