The Binding of Fenrir · Norse Mythology Sleep Story · 3 Hours

from The Sleeping Almanac · host The Sleeping Almanac · Norse Mythology Sleep Stories

Tonight, the gods try to hold back the future. A wolf is growing among them, larger and stronger each day, and the gods know how the story is meant to end. They bring him chains, and call it a game, and he breaks them. Then they bring a ribbon made of impossible things, and a single god is brave enough, or honest enough, to pay the price of the lie. A calm, sad story about fate beginning to set. Let it settle over you slowly.Chapters:0:00 Welcome2:04 Chapter 1. The Three Children of Loki12:47 Chapter 2. The Wolf Brought to Asgard21:57 Chapter 3.
