Theme/chant which they sing: https://youtu.be/3NMZ-Dz51Gw?si=2BMwbnhH1A9qDhZ0
The sisters ran the heights of Northfall.
Wardruna and Journey of the north.
The tiger sisters, Raisa and Seraphina.
They tracked the sheep along the reaches through the midday and that evening carried the lamb down to the forest for slaughter.
The Queen of Northfall calls out to her people and as she waits, Journey paints her sister's face in blood. As she did so, she sings, she prays…
Landvættir,
látið ekki,
illa vætta,
eyða friði.
Vættir góðar,
verndið oss,
heillir staðir,
hǫldum trú.
As they come, there are no words except words of chant. To those silently willing Wardruna would paint in motion with her sister. Down the muzzle, over the ears, the cheeks, the brow, past the eyes, against their chest…
Each marked differently than the last. With each stroke of blood they would speak, one in common, one in old norse, so that they may too know and speak these words.
Landvættir. Landvættir.
Verjið oss.
Landvættir. Landvættir.
Haldið frið.
Landvættir. Landvættir.
Heyrið spor.
Landvættir. Landvættir.
Dæmið vér.
When the last body was marked in blood of the lamb, they would march. Their path leading them from their northern coastline and along the cliff fades which would bring them to the forest of Promise and the flame which sat at the edge of the earth.
As purple light began to show dimly in the distance, Wardruna and Journey would pick up their song again, encouraging a chorus chant of those among them.
Land ok steinn vaka.
Fjall ok fjörðr hlýða.
Blóð fell í mold.
Járn sefr í hönd.
Vér göngum þögul.
Augu jarðar sjá.
Landvættir. Landvættir.
Verjið oss.
Landvættir. Landvættir.
Haldið frið.
Eiðr er bundinn.
Eldar deyja.
Forfeðr standa nær.
Nöfn þeirra lifa í mold.
Sverð ryðgar.
Jörð man allt.
Landvættir. Landvættir.
Heyrið spor.
Landvættir. Landvættir.
Dæmið vér.
Þórr fer um ský.
Óðinn þegir.
Týr tekr blóð.
En landið bíður.
Engi miskunn.
Engi grið.
Ef vér svíkjum.
Jörð brennr.
Ef vér stöndum.
Jörð styrkir.
Hold fellr.
Steinn stendr.
Landvættir. Landvættir.
Vér erum hér.
Landvættir. Landvættir.
Vér farum ei.
Through the forest they would gather their branch and to the flame they would feed it. They circled the fire. Some may hold torch in their jaws. Others displaying a show-horse of high steps as they pound the earth. Others would sing and sing and they would do these things until throats and feet were sore and the warmth of the flame would seem deep in their bones to carry them back home come dawn.
