【Interlude】 Edda-Rad

Only the cold wind exercises the warriors,

And the warriors fought under the witness of the north wind.

A warrior like the wind,

Traveled all continents,

But no one knows what he wants.

·

We don't know the name of this warrior,

I don't know where he came from.

But when one of them appears in the family as a warrior,

We already identified with him as part of Valhalla.

·

He has a thin beard, but he is as vicissitudes as a rock on the shore,

The sea breeze turned his hair upside down,

Destroy his skin, dry his flesh,

But it can't twist the soul of this warrior.

·

"I'm a traveler."

The warrior came in from under the blizzard.

He took a mountain of snow,

With each step, the ground shook a little.

·

Buried by the cold wind, swallowed by the frost,

But the warrior's shield is still strong,

His long axe was still sharp.

The gods blessed him, and even the runes were clearly visible.

·

"Welcome, visitors from afar."

I said this, but wondered why the warrior had arrived.

In the cold moon, humans do not march outside.

But that's why we admire him so much.

·

"Come on, have a drink!"

Warm mead, bubbling boar,

A cheerful feast, a happy family.

The warriors are very enthusiastic and very strong.

·

He tells us the story,

A story that only a traveler can tell.

We revel in it, even the temperature of the drink,

It's not as hot as the heat in our hearts.

·

On the continent, there is no shortage of warriors

But on the mainland, there are also endless dangers.

Warriors avoid hungry wolves and vicious robbers.

Also learn to deal with greedy lords, cunning clowns.

·

Why travel in the cold moon and get expelled?

The gods have commanded me to patrol the continent of humanity, the disloyal giants.

Why not enjoy this perfect world, the expelled ones?

The gods have commanded me to fight, greedy dwarves

·

Why do you obey the commands of the gods and be cast out?

The gods rule everything, ignorant dragons.

Why be a warrior, a man to be expelled?

The gods appreciate the warriors, the incompetent and the weak.

·

The warrior defeated the giant,

His long axe chopped the long stick,

Broke the solid bones,

Finally, turn the giant into frost.

·

The warrior deceived the dwarf,

He took advantage of two pieces of silver,

Let the three dwarves kill each other,

In the end, no one got it.

·

The warrior slew the dragon,

He lifted the heaviest stone on the mountain,

Pull down the towering mountains,

Finally, a tombstone is laid for the dragon.

·

The warriors ignore the weak,

He laughed at the actions of the incompetent,

and knocked him to the ground with a punch,

In the end, the weak give it all.

·

Thor favors power.

Loki favors cunning.

Odin favors wisdom.

Tyr favors bravery.

·

The young warrior did it all,

He deserves to be remembered by all,

He deserves to be regarded as a family eternal,

But we never knew his name.

·

The warrior refused to say his name.

He only thinks that the victor is accompanied.

"When the mission is accomplished, the poet will sing my name.

And if I fail, only the wolf will remember my flesh! ”

·

The Warriors left us the next day.

I don't know where he's going,

I don't know what he's facing,

I don't know if anyone will still sing his name.

·

But the warrior will always be Valhalla's honored guest,

And I could see that when I ascended to that temple,

Odin himself stood up and asked the Valkyries to answer,

And loudly proclaimed, the name of the warrior.

·

Sweeter mead, fatter roast

Battles between warriors and warriors,

Friendship between warriors and warriors,

And the warriors rightfully so.
