The winds, waves and souls of all of earth's creatures make it a habit of influencing in humanity's path, but even these must bow before forces above even them. Things which answer to no man or woman, even those must answer and bow before the gods. Plentiful are those gods and many only look inside their own lands, on their own people's, where they're content with that which they themselves control and act as custodians over.
One of these gods who spent most of their times gazing down at their own worshipers and festivals was they great goddess of fertility of the northerners, Freya. She Looked on the humans which prayed to her and dedicated both sacrifice and festivals to her. She took great pleasure in granting both boons and curses to the little people she guarded over.
The northern people, skin fair and smooth, beards growing with wavy hair to a healthy length, stature tall and constitution muscular offered much for Freya to look and gawk over. Her people were blessed and hard working. Her disciples, as well as those from the cults of her brothers and sisters, were a people which she couldn't be happier to guard over.
Sometimes however, even in the domestic bliss which the goddess found herself in, Freya did find the urge to explore and adventure. Just as her kin, Loki, Odin, Tyr and many others, often did. On one particular such day, she found herself fly over the distant lands of the human realm, south of the homes of her own subjects.
Freya hovered over the Franks, looking upon them with trepidation as they embraced other gods, but to her it was nothing that could be helped. Those mortals were not hers to own and their destiny was their own to choose. She stayed for a bit and admired their pragmatic ways of life, finding a sort of stoic nobility in them.
The Nordic goddess continued even further south and came upon the metropolitan papacy. It wasn't a way which was too familiar with. It wasn't based on blood and family, but on law, ideals and scripture. Worship was done through ideas of what was right and just in myriads of hypotheticals. Freya liked this, even though she couldn't call this place home. There was an honor to it, not quite the honor which was afforded to warriors of Tyr and Thor, but honor nonetheless.
Her flighty path continued even further south, yielding her anguish as she reached the slave markets. Even for Freya's kind, often accused of barbarity and debauchery, slavery was a concept which made them wince. They didn't like it and heavily punished anyone of their supposed worshipers which they saw practiced the keeping of slaves, even though a blind eye was often given to those who participated in their trade.
Freya looked upon the practice with disgust, averting her gaze after just a few moments of being
exposed to the slave markets. Yet, just like the Franks, the people in the south wasn't hers to control. If they wanted to control people by the whip, then that was their imperative and nothing that she had anything to do with.
However, once the initial shock of knowledge subsided, Freya soon felt something else. Something akin to a smell, a disgusting and sickening smell, something which would have made her puke had she been capable. Despite the horrid thing Freya felt in her bones, she saw it through, metaphorically clamping her nose betwixt her fingers, as she searched through the market of destitute victims for the source of that which seemed to putrefy her very soul.
What she ultimately found first brought a deep sadness to her, a sadness which was replaced rapidly by anger, anger which grew into a burning wrath. Here, south and far away from her own lands, people had taken to remove part of their women's genitals, the labia and clitoris cut off from the main body. All in an attempt, she gathered, to make their urges a non-factor in their decision making.
Freya's wrath was immeasurable, the orgasm was a gift from her and her divine colleagues to the mortals. That anyone would even think to remove it was disgusting and reprehensible to her. Scarcely had she managed to make her way back to the northern reaches she called home, before she raised her voice and let Loki, the trickster god, know of the southern happenings and her exact emotions regarding the matter.
Loki had been relaxing when Freya rushed to his ear, disturbing him without rest for days on end. Initially he had tried ignoring what he perceived as nagging, but she proved too persistent, then he tried to fill his ears with beeswax, but she proved to loud, and finally he tried confusing her by spouting nonsense her way, but Freya stuck to her guns and didn't let the trickster god confuse her. In the end, Freya had proved persuasive and Loki soon got a move on to try to make her wish come true.
Loki donned a disguise to travel to the far of lands which the goddess had spoken of. He wore wings of a heron to fly to the strange people whose customs were a direct mockery of the very life which the divine powers which resided over the earth had endowed on humanity. His sharp eyes stayed observant on the earth beneath him, soon enough he had found what he was looking for, the people with dark skin whose women had been robbed of a holy gift.
With the flight down south undertaken, Loki soon set his eyes on how to influence the people towards the better ways with which his own people lived. After a thorough investigation, he made a plan to reimburse the poor women whose treatment had made Freya so upset.
With a deep breath that controlled life and death, transformed into a chant of magical words, Loki changed his disguise, taking the form of one of the local deities. It was against the laws of the mythologies, of which all of the world's gods had a need to follow, to appear in front of mortals. Yet the only one who suffered consequences due to this transgression of those laws, was the very deity which Loki masqueraded as.
