Chapter 11

Velda and the crew woke to find Nissa staring at something on the ground just behind their camp. “Er… excuse me, everyone, but why does this big dip in the snow look like a massive footprint?”

Velda went over to look. “Because it is a footprint. A giant’s footprint!”

They gathered round the huge dent in the snow, which they could only see now thanks to daylight.

“We must be getting closer,” said Velda. “Come on, let’s get going!”

They travelled all morning through howling blizzards, until they caught sight of a humungous ice-covered mountain through a break in the trees.

“There it is!” barked Henna, checking the map (the bits her gull hadn’t eaten, anyway). “The Frost Giants’ Mountain.”

“And that’s the way in.” Sister Akuba pointed out a huge door set into the rock.

“The only way in, I’d bet,” added Velda. “And the only way out.”

“Ach, don’t be so sure.” Bridie nodded to a dark spot higher up on the mountain. As Velda looked closer she could see that it was some sort of chimney. Yet there was no sign of any smoke.

“What is it?”

“A belch stack, most likely,” grunted Henna.

“A what?”

“Giants belch a lot.”

“Even more than us Vikings?” asked Velda, impressed.

Henna shrugged. “They are ten times bigger, at least. That is a lot of belch. The chimney would carry it off.”

“Well, I’m not going in that way.” Velda grimaced. She was as hard-belching as any good Viking, but abseiling through a dense cloud of stinky giants’ gas was a bit much, even for her. “It’s the front door for us. Come on!”
