King Möttull or Caterpillar. A story from the countryside by Þorsteinn frá Hamri.
Everything that looked to progress, development and advancement was on King Möttli's mind, and he was constantly keeping an eye out for tools and devices that could be useful in warfare, energy production and other social reforms. There was a man who did not back down. It is said that in his experiments with devices he destroyed settlements of people and livestock, and around the time the king died with a successful career behind him, Heljarhöfði was a mere sight if one peered into the ski park; rusty shovel monsters lay in the openings, while stench-laden fumes rose from the soil as if a few ugly bugs were in the dust.
The bird Skeri lived longer. He inherited and acquired an independent life in the minds of many generations, as is often said of a sick child. The bird Skeri, this creature that King Möttull magnified in ancient times for his subjects to fear, so that he would better hold on to his ill-gotten wealth and dignity under Heljarhöfði, he was brought here across rough seas by Hrosskatl the settler and our fathers, his high-seated ones. The bird Skeri flourished in the minds of men like a ridiculous rumor from a bad newspaper. He fluttered out of evil dreams and almost became a reality in children's games. The bird Skeri, ancient grandmothers said and happily shook hands with the punishment demon: Evil bird, the bird Skeri – similar to what was later said in certain homes to teenagers: Famous men for cruelty and arrogance, Ólafur Friðriksson, Einar, Kiljan and Brynjólfur. The old voice became unusually shrill and witchy as they uttered the name of the hell bird: I will go into detail about what that bird is up to. Avoid the bird Scythe.
