Chapter Nine

“I have arrived at my price, Siegfried the Fox.” The gravelly voice reminded Siegfried of the grating of stone. A form took shape in the blackness. A man, made of stone, like a rough statue made of granite. He had the impression Mimir was much larger in person. Here, in this vision, it was only Siegfried and Mimir in a field of blurring colors. No earth, no sky, just colors bleeding together. There was nothing to feel or to smell. It would have unsettled him had he not been reasonably certain his body was leaning against the alder.

“Name it and I will pay.” Siegfried kept his attention on the rock Jotun. It made him less dizzy than the whir of color. He would also be a fool to show fear or queasiness in the presence of a powerful stranger.

“I do not like being made of stone. Moss grows on me. I chip. I want your humanity. There is no softness or comfort for stone.”

“Is that even possible to give?” Siegfried did not like where this was going at all.

“It means that once you shift into your fey form, you cannot shift back to human. I will be able to shift to human when it suits me.”

“Shift into fey form? What exactly is fey form?”

Mimir chuckled, as if he found it amusing that Siegfried did not know such a simple thing. “A fey’s natural state. Freya’s would be her mermaid form.”

A mix of the human and animal. That could be problematic. “How can I be with Freya then? What if my other form is a sea beast? Or what if my other form is a bird?” He really hoped it would not be the latter. A Beast would not be convenient either if the enemy found a way to mark him.

“When Balder fetched the Wisdom, I used Woden’s eye before I agreed. I have seen what you will become.”

“I do not like the idea of you looking into my future, making my decisions for me on things that haven’t even happened.” What if Mimir had seen Freya as Lightning Fangs? Would Mimir reveal this to anyone?

“Always fighting authority, aren’t you?” Mimir raised a stony brow.

“I don’t like that you might have condemned me for a crime I haven’t committed. What will I become?”

“That is for you to discover when you drink,” Mimir said. “But I will tell you that you will be able to be with your woman. I will give you the power to shift then and only then, for I will not be always as a human. It would be inconvenient to be so vulnerable all the time.”

“I’ll make the sacrifice,” Siegfried said. There was no other choice. Not unless he wanted to have Freya do all his fighting for him. But this would impede his work in the human realm, to be sure. He remembered Freya with blood soaking the shoes he’d given her. She’d done enough. More than most. And she needed him now.

This was a bigger fight than Rome versus Gaul.
