They Named His Suffering Hope | Fenrir | Signal from Asgard

Signal from Asgard presents: Fenrir's Binding Fenrir was kept in Asgard—not cast away like his siblings, but raised under constant watch. The wolf-child grew strong, breaking the chains Leyding and Dromi when the gods tested him. No crime stained his paws, yet prophecy haunted every glance. The Aesir commissioned Gleipnir, a ribbon woven from impossible things: cat's footfall, woman's beard, mountain's roots, bear's sinews, fish's breath, bird's spittle. Soft as silk, unbreakable as fate. On Lyngvi island, Fenrir sensed the trap. He demanded a pledge—if this binds me and you won't release me, one god must place their hand in my mouth as guarantee. Only Tyr stepped forward, the one who'd fed him daily, who'd taught him trust had weight. The ribbon held. The gods laughed. Tyr lost his hand. Then they drove a sword between Fenrir's jaws, propping his mouth open forever. Foam poured from his ruined teeth, forming a river they named Ván—"Hope".

Again the gods learned fear by name! Twice he played their testing game Twice he earned his growing name Still no crime upon his head Just prophecy's approaching dread So Odin turned to darker art Sent for dwarves of cunning heart “Make me silk that cannot break, Soft as trust, strong as fate.” Gleipnir came like woven air Braided lies and things not there: Sound of cat-foot, woman's beard Mountain's root and bird's spit feared Fish breath and bear's sinew split Threaded fine where gods see fit Smooth as ribbon, pale and slight Stronger than the stars at night They led him to the island stone Lyngvi on Amsvartnir's shore "One more test," the gods did plea Fenrir sensed their treachery. Chain's looked different from before Too smooth to be a test of war Fenrir said that one must stand And pledge their faith within his hand Silence struck the gathered gods Eyes fell low beneath their rods Every god looked to the ground Save Tyr, who stepped without sound Tyr who fed him every day Tyr who taught him trust had weight Placed his right hand in the jaw Broke the final sacred law Fenrir let them wrap him round Pulled and strained but stayed still bound When deceit stood bare and plain He took the price of broken faith They drove the stone called Gjöll deep Tied the cord called Gelgja's keep When Fenrir raged with righteous hate Sword between his jaws they placed Hilt against his lower tooth Point against his upper roof From his teeth the spittle ran A river born of Fenrir's pain Ván they named the bitter flow "HOPE", in tongues of long ago A cruel jest the cosmos spun: Hope that drips from betrayed tongue. Every quake that shake the earth Every drop of Ván's rebirth Every moment of his wait Proof of god's destined death Prophecy will meet its end Not because it had to bend They chose the chain, they chose the way And earned the doom they’ll meet one day So he waits beneath the stone Gleipnir tight around the bone Ván still flows from parted jaw Hope that waits for final law #fenrir #odin #ragnarok #loki #norsemythology
