Rúna

[2010]

Please like and comment, I would appreciate it :D

"Good evening for the Channel One news, here in Norway. Today a something amazing has happened. The Burj Khalifa has officially opened today and is now the world's tallest builing with a height of 829.8m. Thousands of people came to see this spectacle and everybody is celebrating this event! It is really an outstanding day for the history of architecture. It is the fourth of January 2010, I'm Anna Johannson and now you will see the movie...".

Rúna turns the TV off and looks out the window. The world's tallest builing has finally opened. Hard to believe that one hundred years ago no one would ever believe that there will be a building that high. It was never evenv considered back then. Of course she thought about it at the time and came to the conclusion that everybody is clever in their own special way and that someone would build buildings like this. Nothing new to the goddess, Asgard had such high buildings as well. They were maybe even bigger. And of course her home was much more beautiful and mysterious.  The buildings were luxurious, high and just breathtaking. It really looks like a home for gods.
At home she often visited the tree Yggdrasil. As far as she remembers, she would always look up and not see the end of this huge tree with a lot of branches. Each of them telling a story. Of course she was a little girl back then, but it always faszinated her. All the time someone needed to go with her to this tree and stay for at least an hour, til they had gone back home. She misses it a lot, but this is her home now and her life. 

But before she can think about her home more, her phone rings to throw her out of her daydreams - or eveningdreams in this case.
"Rú! Arvid and I wanted to go to a bar together with Vidar, Anne and Tove. And you need to come too! It will be so much fun!", Elin said quite loudly over the phone. She is always a bit wild and loves to go out. But not without us all.
"Elin, today is Monday and you know that I have early classes tomorrow!", Rúna said with a slight shake of her head.
"You sound like a nerd in University! Live a little. Ok, that sentence was a bit false, because you live completely great and you also go everywhere with us. But please! As if you need that much sleep? You are completely fine after 5 hours or 4", she almost pleaded with a slight whining in her voice.
"Alright. Do we meet at the usual spot?"
"Of course! Ha det!"

Well, that will completely escalate. Quickly.

"Rúna, my favourite girl!", screams Vidar and throws his arms around her body.
"Vidar, my most fashionable friend!", the blonde goddess laughed and hugged him back.
The other just stood aside and smiled at their interaction. It's like both of them haven't seen each other in ages.
"And hello Arvid, Elin, Anne and Tove! What a suprise that we are all here at this time!"
"You are a bad actress in such situations", laughed Tove.
"Maybe I'm just acting and I am a really great actor. I can be really authentic I am over thousands of years old after all!"
"Yeah yeah, the goddess talk again. You know that we don't believe you but are still friends, because you are so great?", Arvid says now chuckling.
"Well yes. Because I am only joking! Be more fun, Arvid."
"I am fun!", he argues back with a higher voice than normal.
"Sometimes", whispers Anne under her breath but they all understand perfectly what she said. Arvid scoffed and Elin, his fiancee, patted his back.

They all got into a large booth and ordered their favourite drinks. One of the good things for Rúna is, that she can't get drunk. Something positive about being a goddess, but also a negative point for the others. But actually she preferred to not drink too much alcohol. Why would she? She can't get drunk and the taste is not as strong as it is for humans, so basically alcoholic drinks are for her the same as water. Just tasting a bit better. She never tried, but in Asgard they would always say, that the Ale there is much stronger than the alcohol that the midgardians drink. Well, she never tried it, but if they all say this, this must be true. Maybe she could make some Ale herself, but for that she needs to go back to Asgard and this is not as easy as it sounds. It's impossible even. Heimdall also fell into the deep slumber after Ragnarök, so he can't let her in and there is no other way. There would be, but the risks would be too much to handle.
The men are drinking beer and Whiskey, while the women settled on wine and cocktails.
