Hi! I can't believe that you are following me! I LOVE your I Bring the Fire book series! Thank you for writing it and letting us read it. :)
Oh … thank you! This makes my day. It is such an honor to be read. I’m glad that you enjoyed I Bring the Fire. I loved writing it and have a little Sigyn/Loki short prequel coming up in a few months.
If you need more Loki … I’ve also been known to write Loki fanfiction too: Blue is Loki/Darcy, The Snow Wife is Lady Loki and a traditional Japanese character which I think is MYTH CANON (*sorry, sometimes I get strident, but he WAS a woman in the myths for a while and I think I’ve made a very good case*), 5 People Who Thought … is Loki/Jane, and I also like Steve/Loki and have written What Happens in Alfheim and The Texture of His Skin.

Sleipnir
Out of Norse mythology comes Odin’s...
Sleipnir
Out of Norse mythology comes Odin’s magical eight-legged steed Sleipnir (”The Slipper” or “The Sliding One” in Old Norse), the best of all horses. He is the offspring of the mighty stallion Svaðilfari and the trickster god Loki incognito (in the form of a seductive mare.)
According to Icelandic folklore, the horseshoe shaped Ásbyrgi canyon in northern Iceland was formed when Sleipnir graced the land with one of his feet.
Further reading (click titles):
Gylfaginning by Snorri Sturluson (A narrative of Norse mythology.) See chapter 42 (XLII) for the tale of Sleipnir’s conception.

“Who are the twain
that on ten feet run?
three eyes they have,
but only one tail.
Alright guess now
this riddle, Heithrek!”
Heithrek said:
“Good is thy riddle, Gestumblindi,
and guessed it is:
that is Odin riding on Sleipnir.”
