A/N and a bit of history: In Norse mythology it was not unheard of for man to wed an elf. In Norse mythology elves where tall as humans and beautiful, they were thought to be ancestral spirits.

 

Stígandr is old Scandinavian for “Wanderer.” Please don't ask me how it's pronounced because I couldn't tell you if my life depended on it.

Prologue

 

The cry of sorrow was heard early in the morning and echoed throughout the small Norse village. All who heard it felt sadness deep in their souls, for most understood what that cry meant; lose of a child. The women of the village made their way to the source of the sound and found themselves at the village leader's house.

 

The grieving mother emerged from the house and fell to her knees weeping. “Give back Stígandr!” she cried to the heavens. “Give him back to me!”

 

One of the women stepped forward to comfort the distressed woman. All she understood of the chieftain's wife mumbling and weeping was “…appeared…nowhere…woman took him…disappeared…only son…he's gone…”

 

The mother was playing over and over in her mind what had happened, trying to fully understand it.

 

The beautiful Elvin woman had just heard her son stirring and was on her way across the large room to attend to him when out of nowhere there was a flash of light next to her son. When the light dissipated the blonde woman was stunned into inaction, for standing in the place of the light was a tall woman in the strangest clothing the Elvin woman had ever seen. She had long dark green hair and was holding what looked like a tall staff.

 

The strange woman looked over the little boy and smiled tenderly. “Hello young Prince. I have been waiting for you. I have come to take you to where you shall stay till you can go to where you truly belong.” With that the mother watched as her only son was lifted from his bed before disappearing with the strange woman in another flash of light.

 

“My only son, where have they taken you?”
