 ♡ A heart full of Love l ☾ A night bright as Day l
Nicola had to admit it, she was a little bummed that they weren't going to do any searching on the grounds. BUT, nonetheless she was soon paying attention to the lesson once more. Which was when she heard Professor Botros bring up Norse Mythology & the hero Sigurd. And it wasn't long until the seventh year's hand was soon raised in the air.
"Sigurd was known as a legendary hero from Norse Mythology. I also heard that most of his earliest extant representations come in pictorial form from seven runestones in Sweden." Coming from Sweden herself, she recalls hearing certain things about Sigurd from her father when he used to study the hero.
OH-she almost forgot!
"And after his mother Hiordis married King Alf, he had sent Sigurd to Regin, where Regin had first tempted Sigurd to greed & violence when he asked if he had control over his father's gold. Pretty much, Regin was questioning why Sigurd acted as a simple stableboy instead of having his own horse. Which as I'm sure you know, he went in search to retrieve his own horse, named Grani, which was derived from Odin's Sleipnir. And yes, he did slay the dragon Fafnir with the resembled sword that was once his father Sigmund's. I even heard that once he slayed the dragon, he beheaded Regin, roasted Fafnir's heart and even consumed part of it, which apparently gave him the gift of wisdom?"
Nicola then cleared her throat once all of that....information came pouring out of her mouth. She then smiled towards the Professor as she began to run her fingers through her hair a bit silently. |
