Prologue: Frozen
My first memories were of the ice and the snow. My fingers were numb with cold yet I was too young to notice it. Too distracted by the snow that was so new to me then.
At some point, I heard a strange noise that I later learned was a growl. I turned a standing before me was a very big she-wolf with glowing yellow eyes. Her fur was so white I almost couldn't see it amongst the snow. She stared at me and I stared back. Finally, she moved around me and before I knew it, the wolf was carrying me by the back of my dress. I wiggled and squirmed, unhappy about hanging in the air but the wolf kept on, a mission on its mind apparently.
After a time, I stopped, realizing it was futile and all I was doing was tiring myself out. And the wolf kept walking on and I fell asleep.
I awoke to the feeling of being let down. With wide eyes, I looked up at the wolf as she threw back her head and let out a long sad sound. Part of me wanted to howl along with her but I was too mesmerized to try it. She howled for a long time before bowing her head again and staring at me then the ground.
My eyes followed hers and I noticed there were strange markings on the ground. I followed the marks as the wolf circled me before lying down beside me. Not long after, I grew sleepy again and curled up against her warm furry belly before falling into a deep sleep.
When I had awoken…I was in Asgard.
