"So Savenius is more powerful than Amenek-Ra?" "Oh yes," said Billy
flat. "As Justin said, he is the Prince of gods." "Prince of gods,"
repeated Christian. "Prince of the Universe." He turned to Kalif.
"Which one is more powerful?" General Falcon woke up from his blank
daze. "That brings us to the Destiny of the Mythaeon. For it is his
task to fight and destroy Savenius." The two boys from Earth turned
to Justin, who answered their unspoken question. "These words came
into existence after Lord Celonce and Savenius had vanished. It was
joined to the Promise of the Mythaeon, saying: There will be a boy
one day, who will rule the Realm in the Savus as the Prince of the
Universe." Philip and Christian turned at the same time to Kalif.
He did not feel like smiling, but did it anyway. "Nice future,
don't you think?" "Great," said Christian sarcastic. "Don't you
have a say in what you want to do? Aren't you afarid?" asked
Philip. Kalif wanted to laugh, but did not make it. "That is the
wonderful thing about destiny. My feelings towards everything have
hardly any meaning, but they are far beyond fear."
Travel to an ancient realm of magic where the powerful Grand Wizard
Koeus set in motion events that would lead to a cataclysmic end. In
his arrogance, he believed he could train ten apprentices in the
ways of magic. He created magical stones controlling the powers of
earth, wind, fire, and water. Using these stones, the apprentices
became powerful wizards, but their hearts became corrupt and turned
against Koeus when they learned of the life limitations the stones
imposed on them. The Grand Wizard was forced to destroy his
apprentices, but destroyed himself in the process.
Centuries later, after the great wizards have long vanished,
apprentices Kale and Masan are awarded the titles of wizard and
earn their first magical stones at the School of Hundir. They
embark upon a journey in search of other stones, and along the way,
learn the true power of friendship. Their quest takes them through
dangerous lands, where unlikely alliances are formed with Corsair,
a great warrior, Megaera, an omniscient elf, and Lasca a beautiful
and captivating thief. Through their quest the group discovers a
bond that unites them as they battle the powerful Darklocks, an
ancient evil threatening the peace of the lands.

An epic introduction to Norse mythology for students of all ages.
Based on the research of the 19th century Swedish poet and scholar,
Viktor Rydberg, Our Fathers' Godsaga retells the mythology of
Northern Europe in chronological order from Creation to Ragnaro k.
These are tales told by Vikings, epic tales of gods and giants,
elves and dwarves, and of how their interaction and wars affect the
first generations of human beings in the North. Based on a
comprehensive examination of the source material, including the
Icelandic Eddas and Sagas, this is likely the way Germanic
mythology looked at the end of the heathen era. Many will recognize
themes found here in J.R.R. Tolkien's Silmarillion, particularly
the tale of the elf-smith Vo lund and his quest for revenge against
the Aesir, first detailed by Rydberg in his comprehensive
Investigations into Germanic Mythology, 1886. This is an original
translation of Viktor Rydberg's Fa dernas Gudasaga, his own
retelling of the complete Norse mythic epic, first published in
1887, and many times since. The text includes a complete catalog of
mythic names & the original artwork, from the 1911 German
translation, by renowned children's artist John Bauer (1882-1918).
This classic Swedish text appears in English now for the first
time."
