As the days go by
Odin discovers something new.
A new way to plant
Or a tool to help his crew.
Knowledge is power
As he carries his voice.
A power to wield
In one's choice.
A sword or spear
Is a weapon of strength.
Yet an enemy's weakness
Gives knowledge more length.
To outsmart one's enemy
Is a great advantage.
Gives oneself character
And not just a savage.
There is more to this world,
Odin wishes to see.
For a journey to embark
Across the land and sea.
Yet Odin's leadership
Is challenged with fear.
For a mighty Jotun has come,
To unleash the wrath of Ymir.
About the Creator

I began writing lyrics and stories back in high school. Even went as far as publishing a poem online and it being in a book. As with film a picture can say a thousand words and show emotion, but audio triggers that emotion.
Whispering Woods Challenge Winners
Congratulations to Morgan Christy Rickards for their winning Whispering Woods story, Guardian at the Gate. Morgan has been a Vocal creator since February 2021, and this is their first time placing in Challenge — well done, starting with a win! Guardian at the Gate draws evocatively from Welsh tales of the Cantre'r Gwaelod, a lost sunken kingdom between the forest and the sea. Heledd’s dangerous adventure pulls her towards the water but her spirit is anchored in the woods: Morgan’s writing is atmospheric and exciting.
