Chain of Fenrir: Gleipner

Description

By spell and by blood, by wondrous darkness art thou bound to thy master..."

Loki "shows off" the sign of his servitude to Lavender. The runic mark was crafted by Lavender's adopted mother and placed on Loki with his father's help. He wasn't pleased.

As you've probably already guessed, i draw a lot of elements from Norse mythology, which is fascinating in its treatment of the concept of heroism. Loki shouldn't be confused with the trickster god, Loki, however - he's his own person, named for a powerful god to give him more power. "Fenrir" refers to the wolf who will devour Odin at Ragnarok, and "Gleipner" is the dwarven chain that keeps him imprisoned until that day. In this context, it means that the runic seal is incredibly powerful binding magic.
Lavender has her own mark of binding, of course, but that's a later project... (*~.^*)

......Damn he's pretty. :plotting: I like him! (Me: ...I'm not surprised). :? Oh? Why not? (Me: He has silver hair. And since I find that partidcular trait attractive....so do you.) Good point. (Me: Maybe..... :no: I just wish I knew /why/ I have an attraction to that particular trait.....) I dunno. Don't really see why it's of any concern though, little light. (Me: ...Guess you're right. And don't call me that.) But you ARE! You're barely over 5 feet, after all. And I am your dark side so.......you're MY little light. :evillaugh: (Me: *sigh* Yare yare....)
