Reidunn - Viking Goddess

In time the year being 1034 became filled with child. The citizens of the kingdom felt overjoyed. The warriors drank to the king and queen and their future son. Suddenly an ancient one, a woman of many many years appeared wearing skins from the bovine, formed into an ankle length dress, with long sleeves and a high neckline. On her feet were knee-high boots of long-haired yak hide. The woman's gray hair supported a crown of golden plover feathers.
In one hand, the elderly unknown held an ostrich egg sized crystal. The other grasped a golden staff which helped stabilize the Sage. 'What appears on the outside may not be that which grows within.' The high pitched crackling voice caused the pronouncement to pause the celebration.
