A Taste of Adventure and Exploration in Albia

While Odin received a great deal of attention as he recovered from his illness, apparently Vanadis decided to go on an adventure! I was pleasantly surprised to find that she had taken an underwater journey all by herself to reach the quiet desert island. Although it is relatively devoid of life, Vanadis was quite excited to show off her paradise! When she realized that I had finally caught up to her, she found it imperative to show me how she had taken a honey pot for a ride on the lift. What a wonderful darling! She had everything figured out, or at least everything a Norn could figure out up to that point in life.

Fully mature at last, Freya still decided that the garden was the best place to stay. After all, when a Norn finds a wonderful place to live in, why set out to try to find something better? Perhaps she decided that she would watch over the carrot patch! Freya finally smiled triumphantly when she grasped a freshly grown carrot, only to gobble it right down. I would be hard pressed to complain about her appetite, though. I think the pumpkin-headed scarecrow might disagree! It glared at Freya, almost like it took offense to her gobbling up everything in sight.

A certain White Haired Pixie Norn decided that her vacation was over, and she started back towards the garden. Vanadis was a bit worried when she traveled up the lift and found herself in new surroundings. The sea air still tickled her nostrils, yet she felt a desire to return to Freya and Odin. After all, since all of the Norns recently had reached adulthood, the thought of baby Norns was a common thought. There was no stopping the natural life processes, and I looked forward to seeing some Norn eggs!

What did Odin think of the idea of becoming a father? Why, he took off in the opposite direction of Freya as fast as he could! His sense of adventure may have been aroused, simply for the fact that he is not quite ready to settle down. At this rate, Freya will surely find a way to fall in love with Dvalin and have little Grorns or Norndels! Hopefully Odin will come to understand that he is the key to the future, and that he will always live on. The next generation is just on the horizon, and its arrival will forge the foundation of Albia.
