Kæru Dagbók,

It seems that my escapades to the library and to Gladsheim have not gone unnoticed. Heimdall confronted me today. I suppose I shouldn't have gone to the Bifrost in the first place. I wasn't supposed to be there but I wanted to watch Father return from his trip to Vanaheim. Heimdall had grabbed my arm and dragged me out from my hiding place. He frightened me out of my wits! I had never seen him frown until then. His golden eyes are so piercing I couldn't bring myself to meet his gaze.

He told me to stop creeping about the library and Gladsheim. Heimdall said Gladsheim was no place for a young one like me to be in. He said he can see my every move but I know that already because Father told me. I had retorted that there was no harm in going to the library and reading.

His grip on my arm had tightened and he had pulled me closer. "I warn you, my prince," he had said. "Sorcery is an unmanly art and not to be messed with."

Not to be messed with. Like Father said.

Then I remembered hearing that Heimdall had killed several frost giants, and I started to tremble. I couldn't help but feel terrified. Then he let go of me and told me to go home.

Mother was worried about me when I reached the palace because I was pale and shaking so. I ate my dinner quietly while Thor oh so enthusiastically recounted his day's adventures with his friends to Mother. Father reached home while we were half way through dessert. As he passed through the dining hall he simply glared at me with his good eye, then stormed to his quarters. Heimdall must have told him. I felt so terrible I didn't even finish dessert.

Thor knew something was amiss and he crept into my room just now. I thought it was kind of him not to ask what happened, because I don't want to tell him. He let me touch Mjolnir and I guess that cheered me up a little. He said I could follow him tomorrow and play with him and his friends. He said Sif was all right now and wasn't so angry at me anymore. I'm not too sure about that.

Vinur þinn,
