environment fantasy folklore huldra norse norsemythology

In light of the spring/summer season, I've whipped up this short story inspired by a creature of Scandinavian folklore called a huldra.  The huldra were beautiful, nymph-like women of the forest who had the tail of either a cow or a fox, depending on the region, and hollowed out or bark-covered backs like the trunk of a tree. In spite of their beauty, huldra could also be very dangerous and were said to sometimes lure men to their deaths by means of seduction if angered. Their spell of seduction could only be broken by seeing their hollowed out backs and animal tails. However, huldra were thought to have a particularly good relationship with people who worked as charcoal burners, helping them to watch over their kilns in exchange for provisions that would be left out for them. I hope you all enjoy and as always, keep the feedback coming!All Rights Reserved

Favors For Norse Gods by RoseBlack2828

This was a story I originally posted as a series to NoSleep, a subreddit where everything is in character. I'm now also uploading here as a single story. It follows the perspective of a young man named, Reggie. On a walk, he finds a cursed necklace that enables him to see an Eldritch abomination in the sky. Under the advice of a commenter, he seeks the help of the Norse gods since the creature may be related to them. Unfortunately for him, the god he ends up contacting is none other than, Loki. He along with his wife, Sigyn, and Son, Fenrir force him to assist in horrifying tasks. Will Reggie survive this? Read to find out.

Of Men and Beasts by Rosebud91291

This is a folktale concept that came to me many years back, but it was only recently that I found myself able to shape it into the kind of story that I wanted. It's a bit longer and more detailed than my other short stories, about twice as long actually, which is why I've split it into two parts. Just to provide some context, it is meant to take place in a medieval, Germanic setting, shortly before the Protestant Reformation when religious fervor was at an all-time high. I really hope you all enjoy this as it took quite a lot of work to finally write down. Feedback welcomed and encouraged as always!

He turns my head, looking him dead in his eyes. "I don't like to repeat myself, girl" he says but this time getting annoyed. "Samira" I whisper. he was just about to say something when I saw a woman walk out of the woods, her skin was a tan color with her long back hair pulled in a ponytail. she came over to us placing her hand on his shoulders whatever happened he let go of me i fall with a loud thump. I look over to him and what I saw next broke my heart.. him. the one that's Meant for me. the Love of my life. My Mate.

Einherjar by darthwitty

Blader Thrym never meant to get into trouble, but it always seemed to find him. So when he is offered a chance between allowing his trouble to bring shame upon his family or enlist in the einherjar, thereby restoring his honor, Blader chooses the latter. Each incoming einherjar must prove themselves worthy to join the ranks of the finest warriors, those belonging to the Reborn Cosmos' High King Baldor. The rite of passage, the Reenactment, sends all the new recruits into a reality that is a remembrance of the old Nine Worlds, of the worlds before Ragnarok, in order to test their courage, strength, honor, cleverness, and combat skills through a series of trials. The stakes are life and death. Only those good enough to survive have what it takes to be an einherjar. But the wolves are beginning to sneak out of the darkness and talk of conspirators is increasing. When allegiances are called into question and suspicions of the Reenactment's effectiveness to select the best recruits for the einherjar start spreading, Blader must do his best to both survive and hold to the values he prizes. He will have to pull on everything he ever learned about his reality's past in order to have any sort of a future in his world. Cover created by @CelticWarriorQueen17

The Girl Who Lead the Pack by kenziedawndawn

"Ciana?" I was expecting a reply but got none. "Ciana?!" I heard rustling and before I could bat an eyelid I felt someone grab the back of my shirt and I let out a high pitched scream. "Let go-" I turned around to see Ciana who had fallen on the ground laughing. "You s-should... Oh my god y-your face!!!" She stuttered. "Oh my lord Ciana don't scare me like that!! You scared the holy 'S' out of me!!" I said starting to laugh. "You screamed like a wolf got you!" She babbled. "Did not!" I retorted. "Oh yeah you did! You should have seen your face!" She yelled playfully. "ANYWAYS, what do you want to talk about?" I said, my anger fading. "Imagine if we were wolves, roaming through the forests, hunting down elk... Don't judge!" She said. "I'm not judging, I'm as obsessed with Wolves as you are!! I wish I was a wolf..." I closed my eyes and started imagining running with a wolf pack through a forest. I opened my eyes and looked at Ciana. She had the most shocked and horrified expression on her face, I couldn't even start to explain it. She was looking at my rear, as I said, "What is it a snake?" "O-oh... M-m-my.... G-g-g-God....." She stuttered. What happens next?? Read to find out what happens to Lindsay!

H O W L by WolfWriter2000

There was a Spirit. A Spirit Wolf to be exact. She had fluffy white fur, and some parts as inside her ears, her paws, and her eyes glowed.This particular Spirit preferred to be alone. She did not like company. Only 2 years ago a raven wouldn't stop bothering her. Surprisingly, this bird became her beloved companion. He helps her with her job as a spirit-and distracts her at times. The Spirit Wolf's job is to bring life and to pass life. Bringing life is to help plants grow and to watch over all of the new mothers in spring. To pass life means to let a corpse sink into the ground and become one with earth itself. If the creature that passed had a good life, the Spirit would put them into the afterlife. If they died a very unfair death or was too young for their life to be over, she would help them reincarnate. She could not reincarnate a creature every time it was killed, though. It would only make them have infinite lives. The Spirit Wolf seemed unhappy when she did her job, but she enjoyed seeing the faces of pure happiness of the new mothers. To summarize her duty, she needs to keep the law of nature in order. Even though she despises humans, she helps them too.

Royal Call by raven1295

The day started off like any other. Things went the way they'd normally go in the human world. Until the day came when 3 mysterious men showed themselves to 3 young women, once believed innocent, claimed to be sworn to their side as advisors, and deemed them royalty. Bestowing upon them the royal crowns to their homelands. Now queens, the 3 girls must uphold their royal status, carrying all the baggage that comes with it. They learn their tools and play their parts fairly well, until the day comes when a bold winged monster with scales like snow, claws like swords, eyes that gleam death, and a maw that sprays dragon fire; threatens the very balance of the vast new world they've come to know. "I see three stars hurdling towards the earth. They gleam like diamonds and fall like gravel, But what is this? One of them appears to be filled with doom....I wonder who it will be?"

He swiped my sweat-soaked hair off my neck, resting his lips against my ear. His fiery breaths blew across my earlobe. My body shuddered once again, craving more of him. "You're not the first woman to think she could seduce me into bed because of who I am, what I write. And you won't be the last." He gave a small chuckle, pulling down my dress, so it covered me. "But," he said in a low growl, "so far...... you're my favorite." Breaths poured from my lips at those words. My heart fluttered inside my pounding chest. His favorite, my brain stuck to his words like glue. Clinging to the small hope we'd continue this somewhere else, more than once. We stayed in that position for a moment before his body heat disappeared from my back. He lit a cigarette in front of me, the flash of the lighter illuminating his flushed, sweat-soaked face. I leaned against the brick wall, finding comfort in the coolness against my heated skin. His eyes met mine again. I didn't think I could move from the spot, but he forced me to when he held up a red, lacy thong in between his fingers. My red lacy thong. Fucking panty thief! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Their worlds collided in a heated, passion-filled hook-up behind a bar, bringing their broken pieces together. And now? Mercy finds herself as C.J. Cole's intern. The very Mr. Cole who wrote the most romantic, erotic books she had ever laid eyes on. How could she manage to keep her panties on around him? Or control herself? Hint: she won't. Mature warning.
