"What the fuck just happened?" Maria demanded. "Who the fuck is he?"
Taranis looked like he had his arm torn off. "Vidar, the Silent God, son of Odin and Avenger of the Gods."

Elise stared down at the soaked skirts of her dress. "I t-think my water just broke."
Cosimo let out a startled laugh and turned to Marcella. "Welcome to the family."
