Stavanger Bay 8 dogs 8 banjos (Optional Packtivity)

so weird having two characters in this but eh. Gonna assume she and @Arturo didn't meet until after this thread since they don't really like each other XD This is obviously changed up a bit and slightly paraphrased but the real myth can be found online or in books.

Lagertha stiffened as the white woman appeared from the darkness, unfamiliar with the neighbouring forest dwellers. Atoll and the others seemed unperturbed by the woman's presence, leading Lagertha to believe she was welcome here.

What happened next was even more surprising. A coyote appeared and spun a tale of a mortal wolf challenging the Gods but Lagertha was more focused on the story's teller. Who was she? Was she a friend of the Levathian or simply one who stumbled on them? No one seemed particularly bothered by the coyote either and again, the Viking let it go.

"I too haff a tale about mortals and Gods. Ta Gods of my homeland. I vas raised by ta Vikings of Kattegat, ta Sea Klan. 

Before t'ere was soil, or sky, or any green t'ing, t'ere was only ta giant abyss of Ginnungagap. T'is lay between ta homeland of fire,Muspelheim, and the homeland of  ice, Niflheim.
Frost from Niflheim and flames from Muspelheim crept toward each other until they met in Ginnungagap. Ta fire melted ta ice, and ta drops formed t'emselves into Ymir, ta firs' of ta giants. Ymir vas a volf of boff gendees and could bear young alone; vhen he sweated, more giants vere born.
As ta frost continued to melt, a deer, Audhumbla, emerged from it. She nourished Ymir vith her milk, and she vas nourished by salt in ta ice. Her licks revealed Buri, ta firs' of ta Aesir tribe of gods. Buri had a son named Bor, vho married Bestla, ta daughter of ta giant Bolthorn. Ta haff-god, haff-giant children of Bor and Bestla vere Odin, vho became ta chief of ta Aesir gods, and his two brothers, Vili and Ve.
Odin and his brothers killed Ymir and made ta world from his body. T'ey made ta oceans from his blood, ta soil from his skin and muscles, plants from his hair, clouds from his brains, and ta sky from his skull. Four squirrels, one for each season, held Ymir’s skull above ta earth.
Ta gods formed the first male vulf and female vulf, Ask and Embla, from two tree trunks, and built a fence around t'eir home, Midgard, to protect t'em from ta giants.

Midgard is ta home of ta living, Asgard ta home of ta Gods and Helheim ta home of ta dead. T'ey are all connected by ta tree Yggdrasil by a root in each of ta vorlds,"she finished. The myths of her people were complex, this was only the most basic tale of how they came to be.
