I remember laughing at that moment, and I remember my son frowning at me in puzzlement. What I remember best of all, though, was the sudden certainty that the gods were with me, that they would fight for me, that my sword would be their sword. __e__e going to win,_ I told my son. I felt as if Odin or Thor had touched me. I had never felt more alive and never felt more certain.
