Geri and Freki: The Wolves of Odin
The cold winds of Asgard howled through the halls of Valhalla as Odin sat upon his high throne, his one eye gazing across the realms. At his feet lay Geri and Freki, his ever-loyal wolves, their golden eyes watching and waiting. One day, Odin sent Huginn and Muninn, his ravens, to spy on a growing threat in Jotunheim. They returned with troubling news—a mighty frost giant, Hrímvarg, had been gathering warriors to challenge the gods. Sensing war on the horizon, Odin stood, his wolves rising beside him, ready for battle. With a whisper of magic, Odin sent Geri and Freki ahead, their paws thundering over the frozen land. Through snow and shadow, they ran, hunting down the frost giant’s camp. With fangs sharp as spears and the strength of ten warriors, they struck without fear, tearing through the enemy’s ranks. By the time Odin arrived, the battlefield was silent, save for the howling wind. Geri and Freki stood victorious, their fur dusted with frost and battle scars, proving once again why they were the Allfather’s most fearsome companions. From that day on, the warriors of Valhalla honored Geri and Freki, knowing that wherever Odin walked, his wolves—his hunger for battle—walked beside him.
