Sender: Loki of Asgard
To: Everyone
Subject: Introduction and a Riddle
It seems a popular way to test and get used to this journal is to do a proper introduction. I am Loki of Asgard. As might be surmised, I am newly arrived--though I find this place intriguing and curious so far. I think I'll have fun here.
I could go on, but instead, I have a riddle for you all.
My head was forged / by hammer's hit,
pricked by a point / and polished by files.
What comes before me, / I frequently eat.
With rings adorned / I doth strike,
hard against hard, / a hole in my back.
Shoved forth / I shall defend
my master's money / amidst the night.
Sometimes I spin / my skull backwards,
when my lord wants me / - the warden of his wealth -
to hand him the treasures / of hundreds of heroes
he killed in battle / to capture their gold.
I look forward to hearing your answers.

Swoosh Swish! Defending the master's honor and protecting the master from anyone who might cause harm to the master, those are the sword's duties right?
Though I guess a sword's head doesn't spin, if it did it would probably be a broken sword.

Wait! Is it a helmet?

I think I'm completely stumped then.

Alone I wage war, / wounded by steel,
wounded by swords. / Weary of war,
weary of blades. / I battle often.
All I see / is savage fighting.
No assistance will come / for my cursed self,
ere I demise / amidst men.
But the enemy strikes me / with sharp edges:
smiths made those / with mighty hammers.
They batter me in cities. / I shall abide
the meeting of foes. / Among healers
I never met / in men's towns
those who with herbs / could heal my wounds.
But the wounds and cuts / become wider
through death-blows / day and night.

[What Loki wasn't going to add was that the other already HAD guessed close to the answer, but for a different riddle.]
