…With the river flow returned
to normal levels Thor was able to
grab the trunk of a Rowan tree
growing out of the river bank and haul
himself and Loki back on to dry land.

***
The two gods made their way to Gerriod’s Garth
covered in mud, and sunk deep in a sullen mood.
***
***
They were welcomed by a giant servant
who directed them to a goat shed with one
chair and a smattering of dirty straw littering the floor.
***
***
Loki slunk off to wash himself in a nearby stream
while Thor collapsed into the chair and began to doze.
***
***
Thor woke from his drifting doze
to find himself and the chair propelled
towards the roof rafters at an alarming rate.
***
***
He stuck Grid’s staff against the roof
and pushed with all his might
sending the chair back down to the ground, with
a huge crash, breaking the ribs and spine of Greip
who had been directing it upwards from below.
