Days after Anuket's departure, calm reigned in the house of the giants. Aria, Aracne, and Lyra were sitting around the large wooden table with Skadi, sharing a friendly conversation. The atmosphere inside the house was warm, a stark contrast to the snow and cold outside. The conversation flowed naturally, and the topic of the moment was the origin of Skadi's name.
"Your name is interesting," Aria commented while playing with a small piece of cloth she had found on the table. "Does it have any special meaning?"
Skadi, the teenage giant, smiled shyly as she toyed with a lock of her long hair.
"Yes, they named me after an ancient giantess," Skadi replied. "She was known as the goddess of winter and mountains. My parents always said they wanted me to be strong like her."
"Wow, that makes a lot of sense," Lyra said, intrigued. "And it seems you're living up to your name."
