I remember like it was yesterday, I was briefly relaxing in the Giantland when some gods and goddesses, whose faces i'd recognize in a moments notice but whose names have slipped my mind over time, confronted us. We willingly went along with them, I wasn't as sassy as am today. Don't laugh I was a GREAT kid. I consider myself a calm, collective child, although over time you can tell I've obviously changed a little. Anyways, they took me and my siblings, Fenrir and Iormungard,away from Giantland. The place where most of our youth had been spent, in a way, it was very sad. But we were taken to a new place known as "Asgaard". This releam was ruled by Odin. When i arrived apparently I didn't get the memo that no one else had bones on the outside of half of their body. It's not like I was born with this or anything. Due to this physical asspect the other gods found me appauling to look at, let alone felt generally awkward around me. This bugged me to the point where I took it up with the big man. That's right Oden himself. I barged in like a minataur, loud and abrupt. I told him all my troubles and complants. Ode can be a great listener ecause i swear mt mouth ran for centeries, thank gods that wasn't what happened. In theend Oden felt so merciful that he gave me my own releam. This came with responsobilieties only I had to worry about. It was and is great. All I had to do in return is care for the souls of people who had died from sickness or old age, and for the souls of any other people whose deaths had not occurred through violence or in battle. As I settled into my new home, the souls of the dead arrived there, it was only I who had the ability to judge them. It was also I who decided whether their souls were good or evil, and to what exact degree. Then, right after I had made my own assessment, I would give each soul its rightful and well deserved reward. Depending upon how they had been judged in my eye, the souls of the dead were settled into one of the nine levels of Helheim, which does ranged from what might be seen as a form of "heaven" and then it goes all the way down to the dark horrors of Neostrand (Naströnd), This place... it is best we not talk about this here but lets just say. You are not treated kindly down there. (:
Remember to use the five senses when describing the setting.
