#### **Battle of the Bloods**

In the Battle of the Bloods, Svala rode a large dragon which she had made out of the very ice from Sweden's most northern territory to fight alongside her other goddess sisters against Bisera and Lamia after they turned their backs on the Divinity and began using Lamia's line of herons-turned-vampires to eradicate out their own. Each of the sisters conjured up their own defenses with Svala's being the most largest out of them all - despite being at a disadvantage of having a battle in one of the most arid climates on the Earth's surface. She named her dragon, Gudomlighet in one of her languages (Swedish) after her creator and father, the Divinity. It translates directly to divinity.

During the year long battle, Svala suffered the most loss after the fight came to an eventual end when her dragon did not survive in the final moments done at the hands of Bisera and her pheonix. Svala was very distraught and tried to resurrect her beast but the Divinity told her that Gudom was no longer needed and that a creature like him could not live on if she wished for a peaceful Earth for her herons. She did not agree with his reasons and resurrected him anyway, in a preventative measure the Divinity ordered Rama to have Gudom sedated in an eternal sleep so that he may never rise again. Rama complied and faked in assisting Svala in resurrecting the dragon by sabotaging the spell and counteracting Svala's attempts. Svala eventually gave up after five months in bringing her child back, and Rama assured her that Gudom is alive but will never be more conscious than the slumber he's in. Rama advised that Svala should lay him in a place where no one could reach him and that's what she did.

Over the years many *myths, stories* and *wives tales* circulated about Gudom and a *prophecy* surrounding a singular person whom is a descendent of Svala blessed with the blood of Gudom may one day wake the sleeping giant and have him under their control. Some would argue that Gudom is awake and he swims beneath the Baltic Sea and othes believe that he's still asleep waiting to be woken by the one. Many Nordic herons came to the sea he lays in and many Nordic herons left disappointed.

Svala waited a millenia for Gudom to rise out of the sea but he never did so she gave up on waiting and has moved on without him, letting her herons rejoice in their *stories* and *prophecies*.

Still to this day Gudom lays beneath the Baltic Sea under Rama's spell, far from the reach of any being.
