A shadow, It hides in the dark, the darkest corner of his mind. Its always been there, since the beginning. And It can never disappear, only with him. But now, It comes out of the Dark, and into the Light. A great, blazing, obsidian Wolf. Its eyes burn a dull ruby red, its mane ends in razor sharp edges, and his fur is a coat of blades.

"How can you call me an ally, when the moment you touch me, your hand is flayed." Growls the Wolf, embers sparking out of his maw. "How can I aide you, when I try to pull you out of danger, danger You sought out, only to cut off your limb."

Why do I have this Beast within? Or is it without? "Tell me, Wolf, What is your name?" Echos your voice into the Light that surrounds the Wolf.
"I am Woden, the AllWolf." Howls the Wolf, his maw an inferno of sparks. "AllWolf?" Your voice puzzles.
"Every shadow, every bit of shade, that corner of your eye, the pits of your mind. I'm there." Answers Woden, leaning closer to You, small embers pattering onto the floor.

But, I'm also,,, You.

I am Woden
I am Odinsvard
I am
War

Draft prologue for a Fiction that I'm working on. It gives background history to the Guardians of Asgaard, my home-brew Space Marine Chapter in the 40k Universe of Games Workshop. As the GoA are heavily based on Norse Mythology and Philosophy, your'll no doubtingly see a lot of references.

*NOTE; This is my personal interpretation of Norse Mythology and Philosophy, not actual fact.
