I woke up to the smell of crepes, oh how I love them. I got out and went to the kitchen, expecting to see my dad there in his rumpled clothes but instead of him I saw a women making breakfast and humming. She turned around and saw me.

"Eira! Your awake, do you want any crepes dear?" she looked vaguely familiar and seemed to know who I am.

"Who in the hell are you?" I asked.

"I'm your mother, Freya. I had to leave you when you were just 2 years old, I never wanted to leave you but, but THEY made me." she said pointing to the sky accusingly.

"My mom's dead, she died in childbirth,"

"No, they just told you that my dear child you have much to learn,"

"Who's they?"

"Oh just Odin, Frigg, and the rest of the gods council,"

"Gods?"

"Yes Eira, Gods, Im the goddess of beauty and fertility,"

I slowly sat down, bewildered by how much all of this made sense.

"Have some crepes," she said placing a plate of crepes in front of me.

"How come nobody told me,"

"The Lunar Eclipse is today, this is the day of the sun, your day, the gods' day,"

"Okay so is there anything else I need to know about your culture or these gods,"

"No your all ready, just pack up and eat your crepes and you'll be on your way,"

"On my way where?"

"Nord Stjerner's Camp of course,"

Notes

By the way Nord Stjerner means north star in Norwegian :)
