Gleipnir

Description

Tyr and Fenrir from Norse Mythology..! The Gods feared the wolf's strength and wanted to bind Fenrir with the binding "gleipnir", as thin as a silkin ribbon but stronger than any iron chain. However Fenrir would not let them bind him unless the god Tyr put his hand in the wolf's mouth as a pledge that they would let him go.. and when Fenrir realized he couldn't escape the binds Tyr's hand was, of course, ripped off. Not a good day for him.

I really enjoyed this story and wanted to illustrate it for class so huzzah *O* I'm not particularly excited with the results but the amount of hours I put into it is worth the upload I guess xD;

Fair trade. Tyr betrayed Fenrir's trust so Fenrir took his hand as wergild for that. Of course Tyr paying his debt does not excuse his superiors from Fenrir's wrath.
