Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.
Wodanaz and Indra
"Who Wodanaz?" asked Kernunnos, this time not as much focusing on the moon now but the stars.
"Balor's paternal grandfather." Said Dalv.
"Who Indra?"
"Brigid's maternal grandfather."
"Kernunnos not know either grandfather… Kernunnos wonder who Kernunnos is… Kernunnos meet Wodanaz once and wonder is Wodanaz Evabon like us?"
Now that was a strange question. Confused, Dalv stopped paddling the canoe and looked at Kernunnos. "What do you mean by that? He is grey like us, isn't he?"
"But Wodanaz not Evabon like us, is Wodanaz?"
Dalv scratched his cheek. "I don't think I quite get your meaning."
"Wodanaz not seem normal… Wodanaz seem like Evabon before Wilusa… Wodanaz seem like Evabon before Evabon as Evabon know Evabon to be… Indra seem just as strange… Kernunnos grandfathers just as strange?"
"Hey now, what's this?" asked Dalv. "Have you started speaking in riddles?"
Kernunnos didn't answer. He just continued to look up at the stars. "Beauty and danger in world, good and evil too… Wodanaz, Indra and Kernunnos' grandfathers in between maybe?"
"Now see here, boy, if you are suggesting that Wodanaz and Indra are some sort of neutral spirits I'll hear nothing of it!" Dalv returned to rowing. "Next time something like this happens, Balor comes with me and you can go with Gard! See how he likes these riddles and unthinkable talk!"
"Kernunnos know ancestor die at battle long ago! He great chief! He great leader! He die by arrow to eye! Last chief of marsh clan! His blood flow through Kernunnos veins! Through father Kernunnos descended through him you… Who Kernunnos? Who Dalv? Who anybody?"
"This is some rather serious talk, boy." Dalv again stopped paddling. "Why when I was your age I enjoyed the company of women and a good drink! Such thoughts are for philosophers!"
"Kernunnos philosopher?"
Dalv smiled and nodded. "Why, yes. I suppose you are."
