I am glad to hear your trip went well, but

Gareth,

I’m glad to hear your trip went well, but you should have used your brain instead of messing with Loki. Be thankful that Odin liked you enough to send you to Yahweh and Jehovah’s court. He could have sent you to Kali’s court. I’ve heard that chimera and were-animal emissaries rarely last more than couple of weeks in her court.

Gareth, Gareth, Gareth!

You have to learn to think before you act. You should have seen what was going to happen. Frigg is still angry. Well, you know her. Her anger will wane in a month or two. Once it does, I’ll talk to her; she isn’t unreasonable.

Hermóðr will bring this letter swiftly to Hermes to pass it to you. They both check all the diplomatic mail, which I hope you remember. They are very nice about it though. Cheers Gareth, life goes on. Write to me soon.

Your Friend,

Nimue

Dear Nimue, it’s still hard to believe

Dear Nimue, 

      It’s still hard to believe what happened. It all happened so quickly. I barely had time to say goodbye to you and the others. I still don't quite understand what actually happened. Odin was furious as a storm cloud. Thor oscillated between amused and being ready to blast me away. All I was told was that I had offended Frigg, but I haven't done anything.

      The trip here went as well as expected; Valkyries are not gentle transporters. I had only couple of dozen new bruises when I arrived, and I had to lick my fur for several hours before it settled back down again. 

      I know that chimeras are sent to other courts as junior members of embassies. Still, it's unsettling to suddenly be one of the emissaries of the Norse court to the Christian court of Western Roman Empire in North America. Before I left, someone called it an honor, but it feels more like a curse. Although I'm not the first were-dog to be posted here, I'm currently the only one. In addition to some faeries, there are seven chimeras here at the moment.

      This court is quite different from Odin's. First of all Yahweh and Jehovah share the throne. They are constantly bickering over which one of them is the original and thus dominant ruler. Someone told me that their dual existence comes from an ancient spelling mistake. They also both claim title Father as their own; it can be a bit confusing.

      The Holy Ghost is kind of pale. He's also very gloomy: walking around complaining that he's always mentioned third in any litany, never first, not even second, always third. 

      Jesus (the Son, not the curse) is arrogant and somewhat bitter as he knows he can never ascend to the throne. Jesus the curse is on the other hand is plotting with Lucifer to get rid of the Son. He claims that people call to him a lot more than they call to the Son. I think his ultimate plan is to share the throne with Lucifer, but I don't think that will happen. He reminds me a little bit of Loki.

      Collectively, the six of them are known as the Sextet, the Christian godhead.

      Uh oh, I hear someone coming so I have to stop writing for now. I miss you. Please, write to me soon.

Yours,
