- <strong>This is part of my "Kalevala series" in which I tell the epic folklore poetry of Finns as a series of short stories, one rune at a time. </strong> - <strong>Don't know what <em>Kalevala</em> is? Check my introduction post of it: [Kaleva: An epic folklore of Finns - A source of inspiration for Tolkien's mythology](https://steemit.com/poetry/@celestal/kalevala-an-epic-folklore-of-finns-a-source-of-inspiration-for-tolkien-s-mythology)</strong> - <strong>Want to start from the beginning? Go to Part 1: [The birth of Väinämöinen](https://steemit.com/poetry/@celestal/kalevala-shortly-1-the-birth-of-vaeinaemoeinen)</strong> - <b>Previous part: [Lemminkäinen's quest for a wife](https://steemit.com/mythology/@celestal/kalevala-shortly-11-lemminkaeinen-s-quest-for-a-wife)</b> ------ <em>Lemminkäinen</em> lived his life with his beautiful wife, Kyllikki, on his side. But their peaceful living was disrupted when one night <em>Lemminkäinen</em> didn't come back home for the night from his fishing trip; <em>Kyllikki</em> thought he had already broken their wedding vowel, and went back to her home village for the frolics with other maidens. When <em>Lemminkäinen</em> heard she had gone to the village and broken their vowel, he got mad and broke his side of the vowel of not going to war: >"O' mother prepare my armor, wash my shirt, clean it with hurry; >I'm about to go to a war, go to the cabins of the North, >distant fields of the Laplanders." <em>Kyllikki</em> tried to warn him for her dream in which she saw destruction and despair. <b><em>Lemminkäinen</em> dismissed her warning.</b> Her mother tried to stop him from going to war: she pleaded to their drinks in their barrels which he could drink all day, to their becoming harvest worth gold and silver, and to his beautiful wife. <b>But <em>Lemminkäinen</em> wanted to drink the nectar of war rather than beer from their barrels, would rather earn a penny from fighting than be content on his own harvest, and for a wife he wouldn't care a frolics stroller, instead, he wanted to find a new maiden among the famous beautiful virgins in the North. </b> The mother still feared for his son getting into the merciless grip of North, to its witches and their conjures, leading to his destruction. But <em>Lemminkäinen</em> wasn't helpless in his abilities: >"Already I was conjured by witches, swored to me by devious vipers. " >"Three Laplanders threatened onto me, encircled me onto a rock, wished to push me into a swamp, sink my head, drown into the sludge." >"But such son of a bitch I was: Did not rush, carefully dialected, by myself conjured upon them; sang the witches with their arrows, enchanted the wizards' power, hexed the sa'ages with their steel, into a rapid of the Underworld; where they shall lye, sleep on their death, until hey grows through their bodies." He put on his iron shirt and steel belt with the fiery sword - forged in an altar of gods in a shade of holy grove - in sheath by his side, and prepared his stallion to began his campaign to the North. <img src="http://blogs.helsinki.fi/welcometouh/files/2013/02/kaleva8.jpg"> Upon arriving to the North he peeked into the highest of cabin, full of great singers, witches and conjurers, including <em>Louhi</em>, the Mistress of the North, who asked upon <em>Lemminkäinen</em>: >"What is a man of your quality, where do you come disturbing my house; >you went past the hound, the barker, without its notice, without noise." <b><em>Lemminkäinen</em> wasn't born to be slain by a puny dog, he was raised as a sage for every road, singer with a craft for every language, conjurer for every spell.</b> He lifted his word with his fur's lapels on fire, with a glow in his eyes: He sang all the conjurers, the masters of singing, all the men from young to old: which one onto a root of furnace, which one into a damp swamp, into a fishless dead lake, uncultivated dry land, into a rapids fierce roaring, to its bottom as a rock. ----- <br/>But one man he spared, because of <em>Lemminkäinen</em>'s despise on him who he didn't even dare to touch: a farmer who had gone into his sister and ruined onto animals. He fleed to the back of the Underworld river where he waited for absentminded <em>Lemminkäinen</em> to leave. --- <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NyTG2BsAncc/WbwrSNmUVvI/AAAAAAAAAm8/8c06AhiPFxUlq_1FCgKndQntu6xIO60mwCLcBGAs/s1000/kkkalevala.jpg"> --- - <b>Part 13: [The hunt for the Moose of Hiisi](https://steemit.com/mythology/@celestal/the-hunt-for-the-moose-of-hiisi)</b> -------- Pics: [1](http://blogs.helsinki.fi/welcometouh/files/2013/02/kaleva8.jpg), [2](http://www.lyra.fi/kalevala/kkkalevala.jpg)

<b>Disclaimer</b>: The picture is actually a painting from a different character called <em>Kullervo</em>. Fitted so well I didn't think it would be about someone else than <em>Lemminkäinen</em>. Can't change it anymore so just to let you know.
