"Well, the person, who told me this, was not too keen on these practical details," Wraen chuckled light-heartedly, having no plausible explanation of, why should anyone want to chase the celestial objects and eat them too. "In a very real sense, if you think about the sun and the moon, and how day changes into the night, you have a feeling of movement," she began. "And hunting is a very wolfish thing to do. So, if we can hunt animals down here, why shouldn't very huge and very powerful wolves hunt up there a prey that matches their skill and importance in the mythical world?"

"You see, Avery, a story is a wolf's way of finding order in a world of chaos. Otherwise it's fearsome to think that everything happens at random and there is no driving force behind everything,"
 Wraen had entered very philosophical waters, perhaps too sophisticated for the young wolf to fully understand. "The same people, who came up with this, also had a belief that a large snake called Jörmungandr​ encircles the world and bites its own tail. If it ever releases its grip, the world will come to an end," she told. "For the record, I do not think it will, but the legend goes on telling, what a fearsome monster this is and that it will kill one of the head gods. So - basically, you can assume that the world snake, Skoll and Hati are there to humble the gods and the people as well."
