fenrir
is the subject of my most recent pic. havent heard of him? hes a wolf from norse mythology. son of loki(trickster god) and a giantess, he was allowed to roam free until he started showing his dislike of the gods. they proposed a game to him. they would chain him, and he (boasting of his strength) would try to break it. the first two chains he snapped easily. finally the gods asked the dwarves to craft a chain to bind the giant wolf. the chain, gleipnir, was made from: the footsteps of a cat, a mountains roots, a womans beard, the breath of a fish, a bears vigor, and a birds spittle. the gods challeneged fenrir to the game again. but he, suspecting something, asked that as a show of good faith, one of the gods put their hand in fenrirs mouth. tyr(god of justice) agreed, and fenrir was chained. gleipnir, barely more than a thin ribbon, proved unbreakable. in anger, fenrir took tyrs hand. fenrir will remain chained until the day of ragnarok(end of the world) when he will break free.

theres a little mythology lesson for you and a good background to explain my pic. on that note, go take a look.
