Prior
to being cursed to roam the earth as a ghost, how does Ingvar, the
hero of Wytchfae
Runes,
celebrate the winter solstice in ancient Norway?
The
Norse Yule festival began on December 20 and lasted for twelve
nights, through December 31. The people celebrated the return of
light to the world after the longest night of the year, while the
father god Odin led the wild hunt with his magnificent steed charging
across the night sky.
As
a boy Ingvar filled his boots with hay and sweets and stashed them
beside the hearth, gifts for the horse, and if in a beneficent mood,
powerful Odin might leave him a special treat in return. After
becoming a man, Ingvar joined with the other adults in a joyous
holiday feast, replete with ale and a wide variety of food, song, and
merriment.

Combine one faery witch and one sexy Viking ghost and what do you
get? Supernova attraction. Can they evade their enemies long enough
to fan the flame?

In a star’s blink, a claw like hand gripped Ingvar’s throat and
crushed him against the wall.

red blooded male.
