Chapter 9 - The Race

" Are you really only human? " asked Dane.

" You sound unimpressed, " said Erik Menneskesøn with a smile.

" Don't get me wrong, I am just surprised, is all "

" You are aware that many of the King's Viking-Knights; are humans "

" Really? " said Dane, surprised.

" You all seem pretty superhuman to me, " Dane continued.

Erik just giggled.

" So, when does this Tjalfe arrive? " asked Dane.

" He should be here, any minute "

As Erik had finished saying that.

A gust of wind flew past them, as Tjalfe had now arrived.

" Sup slowpoke " said Tjalfe to Erik.

" You only say that because you are wearing Loki's boots " said Erik with a glare.

" Loki's boots? " said Dane, as he noticed the winged boots that Tjalfe was wearing.

" Don't worry, I will take them off for our race, " said Tjalfe.

Every six months.

Erik and Tjalfe race down from the peak of Northern Jutland, down to Southern Jutland, and then back.

" Get ready to eat my dust " said Tjalfe, as he got into position.

" In your dreams " said Erik, as he got into position.

Dane held his arm up.

" Ready, set, Go! " said Dane, as he brought his arm down, and as Erik and Tjalfe both disappeared, leaving behind only a cloud of dust.

" I thought he said; that he was not superhuman… " said Dane with a smile.
