Wave-Women…

***

Loki took to the air

and headed for Jotunheim.

***

***

He didn’t though fly to Grid’s homestead,

as he had promised Frigg he would…

***

***

…Instead he flew to Geirrod’s Garth

where he landed on a sky-light

and peered into the great hall.

***

***

Geirrod was there, feasting with two

of the Wave-Women, Gjalp and Greip, who were

each responsible for conceiving a ninth part of Lodurr.

***

***

This had been Loki’s plan from the get go.

***

***

He wanted a piece of those Wave-Women.

***

***

Geirrod saw the bird peering in at his sky-light

and sent Greip, the smaller of the two Wave-Women

out of the great hall to capture it.

***

***

Loki hopped from the sky-light

and onto the thatch of the roof

to evade Greip’s grasp.

***

***

When she climbed up on to the roof

Loki tried to take to the air again

but his pinions were caught fast in the thatch!

***
