Like Fenrir's strong bite, or Jormungand's coils? Or my... [She had to think about that one. Her brothers were stronger than she was but then they were bulkier too. A triumphant smile spreads across her face.]

My agility.

[motherofwolves.livejournal.com]

And your grace.

[Many often thought Angrboda a hard woman, for she did not tolerate weakness, but she had not held her position as Hagia for so long without having learnt to see the value of personal strength as well as that of physical prowess.]

Only when compared with my brothers, mind you. I can run fast but that doesn't mean I don't have clumsy moments. [Hel felt this was because her one side was sturdier than the other. She didn't make excuses though, there were other Járnvidjur with far stranger deformities. It threw her off balance but she had learned to compensate for it.]

As well you know, my beloved.

Of course!

A good lesson, though it is so seldom learnt. And more's the pity.

[motherofwolves.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

Though some would say that the one could not exist without the other.

...I don't think I have any strength. But maybe that's okay. We don't all need to be strong... not really.

[motherofwolves.livejournal.com]

And how can you know that you have none?
