?Thank you, brother, for speaking up,? she nodded to Floki and turned to Holmg?r?r.  ?It is true, I am not well-versed in these matters, so I, too, welcome the wisdom and strength of those that are. I will be praying to the gods night and day, but would you be willing to bless us, so that we might gain the gods? favor to lead our people on the right path?"

She steps between you, turns to face the assembled crowd, and places a hand on each of your heads.

"A prayer for For Arne, Valka and Holmg?r?r:

"Odin, far-wanderer, grant us wisdom and courage to lead our people to victory.
"Thor, the thunderer, grant us strength to overcome our enemies.
"Loki, the trickster, grant us laughter on our journey that the way will be easier.
"Freya, the beautiful, help us that others may know you through the example of our lives.

She lifts here hands and extends them to the crowd.

"Freya, the mother of us all, watch and protect us as we watch and protect our own.
"Freya, the fertile, grant us prosperity that we may flourish."
"Freya, magic-bringer, teach us to face evil, and help us to be worthy of your mysteries.

"Odin, Thor and Freya, be with us in our time of need."

The crowd repeats the last line with a quiet intensity.
