Every hero has an origin story, even the heroes of the numerous mythologies of this world. Voden re-imagines the world in which a king learns of his maker, and finds friendship in unlikely allies, is taken captive, and rescues a queen. 

Voden is an origin story of the Norse god Odin, set in an age of mythical beasts, and an aged man of God who befriends and gifts Voden with some food for thought. 

Voden also meets a young and arrogant Apollo, who he admires as much as despises, they have to work together to escape their immediate threat. 

I first wrote Voden in 2009 as a screenplay then rewrote it as a novella in 2020.
