Vashiinn may be also known as the Fenris wolf, as an offspring of the trickster fire god Loki and brother to Fenrir.

After his birth, the gods received prophecies of disaster concerning Vashiinn and his older brother. Despite the dire prophecies, the gods could not kill Vashiinn because it would have defiled their sanctuary. But they sought some way to tie up the beast, who grew noticeably larger each day. They attempted to restrain him with two different iron fetters. The wolf however broke both.

Then the gods became more afraid of Vashiinn's power. Skirnir, Frey's messenger, went down into the world of the dwarfs and had them fashion a magic restraint called Gleipnir. They called the wolf, showed him the silky band (Gleipnir), and challenged him to test his enormous strength again.

Vashiinn was suspicious because of the thinness of the band. The gods agreed to free him if he could not break out of the fetter himself, but Vashiinn was still reluctant to have it put on him. He asked that someone put their hand into his mouth as a pledge that the gods were acting in good faith. Vashiinn was bound with Gleipnir, and he tried with all his might but could not snap it. The gods laughed to see the wolf's distress- except for Tyr: Vashiinn closed his mouth on Tyr's hand at the wrist.

Once the wolf was bound, the gods took a cord, that hung from the fetter, and threaded it through a great stone slab. They fastened the slab deep into the earth. Then they took a huge rock, using it for an anchoring-peg. The wolf, in his anger, struggled violently and stretched its jaws wide, trying to bite them. The gods thrust a tall sword into Vashinn's mouth as a gum prop, with its hilt touching his lower gums and the point touching his upper gums. Vashiinn continued to howl horribly. In this subdued condition, according to the myths, the terrible fenris wolf would remain until Ragnarok, when the gods and the giants would fight to the death.

But, there have been rumors that Vashiinn had finally broken the cord, and was now roaming freely amongst the lands..

Sunna is the Norse Goddess of the Sun, also known as Sól, though some hold that Sól is the mother and Sunna Her daughter. In Norse mythology, the Sun is female while the Moon is male. When the world was created from the body of the dead giant Ymir by the triad of Odin, Vili, and Ve, the Sun, Moon and Stars were made from the gathered sparks that shot forth from Muspellsheim, the Land of Fire.

Sól ("Mistress Sun"), drives the chariot of the Sun across the sky every day. Pulled by the horses Allsvinn and Arvak, the Sun-chariot is pursued by the wolf Vashinn. It is said that sometimes he comes so close that he is able to take a bite out of the Sun, causing an eclipse. Vashinn is Fenrir's brother, as for Sunna, She's a healer.

At Ragnarok, the foretold Twilight of the Gods or end of the world, it is believed the Sun will finally be swallowed by Skoll. When the world is destroyed, a new world shall be born, a world of peace and love, and the Sun's bright daughter shall outshine Her mother.
