By eighteen Nadia had been proclaimed a great beauty. With her raven black hair and ice blue eyes she turned heads when she entered a room. Her petite body had finally blossomed into that of a woman and the thin white silks she wore accentuated her fragile form. Her powers had bloomed as well, she could speak with and control the minds of animals. She had been granted the title of Goddess of the Forrest by Odin.

Odin had taken a shine to Nadia, smothering her with attention and haunting her every step. She had done her best to avoid his advances, flitting from the room each time he entered it. She was frightened of the beast of a man. He intimated her and crowded her into a corner each time he found her. He constantly watched for her from his one eye, stroking his beard and sneering at her lecherously. Nadia also avoided his wife Frigg, she was jealous of the attention Odin favored Nadia with, and didn't hesitate to take out her frustrations on the young goddess.

*Finally one night when the sky was lit with blues and purple and the sky shown bright with stars Nadia snuck from the great stronghold. She donned a black cloak and holding her breath she leapt from her window, landing softly in a pile of leaves. She flicked bits of the red and gold leaves from her cloak and pulled her hood up over her head shielding her milk white face from any who may see it. * (photo prompt) panting she fled into the night determined to get away from Odin and his unwanted advances. Running at full speed until she reached the glowing lava fields that marked the boundaries between Asgard and Rhonheim. She had taken only two steps onto the rock bridge when she was seized roughly from behind.

She let out a shriek of anger and fear as she turned to face her opponent. Her scream died in her throat as her fear paralyzed her. It was Odin.

He dragged her by her hair back to Asgard, tears streaming down her face.

In the distance the great wolf howled.
