Beginnings

Olf says:

So this whole writing thing? I dunno, I've never done anything but carve runes into standing stones, over the mounds of my fallen companions. These letters are harder -- all small and squiggly and shit.

I hate beginnings. I remember when Ymir was borne from the melting ice in Ginnungagap, and how we had to cut him apart to make the world. All that shit with the skull to make the dome for the sky and shit, setting the Sun and the Moon to run across it, chased by wolves to keep them running fast: such a pain in the ass. Luckily Odin and the brothers did most of that shit... I just sat back and played drums on old Ymir's knucklebones.

And here I am, stuck with another shitty beginning.
