“After King Siggeir killed her father and captured all of her brothers, Ingný - pretending to be in support of Siggeir’s villainy - proposed that her siblings be made to suffer, rather than being killed immediately. In truth, she hoped that would give her more time to try to save them. One by one, her ten brothers were tied to a stake in the middle of the woods, and devoured by a she-wolf in the night.
Finally, after nine nights of sneaking out of the king’s castle and searching for the proper spot in the woods, she found her last sibling and the most loved: her twin, Vygmundr. Ingný smeared honey upon his face, so that when the she-wolf came, she would lick the honey instead of devouring him.
The wolf’s lick brought Vygmundr back to his senses. When her tongue slipped ‘twixt his lips in search of more sweetness, he bit it with all his strength. The beast recoiled, and her feral power was enough to rip the man free from his bindings, allowing him to escape.“

You have such a thing for beating up Vygo and having Indy save him somehow, even going into classic legends to have more situations for it to happen! >:}
NO MATTER THE REASON, THOUGH: This is beautiful, tender, and so cool. :} Great work on the frosty breath, too!
