Where we went on our holidays #19: Going to see the Rheingold

A snapshot I took quite a while ago as my children are quite full grown by now.
Being a fantasy writer with several novels featuring the Norse gods has its perks.
Wodan for instance was quite willing to let my children look at the famous Rheingold.
Even better, Tanja got to swing Siegfried's very own sword which was quite a bit better than doing the same with the wooden swords I had made for my children.
Tom was more into music then and he was handed the Gjallerhorn by the god Heimdal.
"Blow, my brave boy!" Heimdal urged him. "When the Gjallerhorn sounds you can hear it in all the Seven Worlds."
Tom blew until his cheeks resembled a frog's and then there was thin sound, more like a hiccup than a trumpet blast.
"Good," Heimdal laughed, "do you know what happens when you blow the Gjallerhorn?"
Tom shook his head.
"The end of the world, boy! Wolves eat the moon and the sun and all rivers run with blood."
Tom looked crestfallen.
"Just joking," Heimdal said. 'You have to blow my horn quite a lot louder for the Gotterdammerung to start."
Brunnhilde next plucked a small ornament from the hoard and handed it to Josje. It had the shape of a tiny dragon.
"Wear this  and if your husband is ever unfaithful to you, it will wake up and devour him."
"That is a very nice present," Josje said and fixed it to her necklace with troll-beads.
I'd rather not tell what present Loki, the trickster-god, gave me, but reviewers who bad-mouth my novels tend to end up gibbering in an asylum. The lucky ones.
