It was made into a picture book by adapting ‘Ring of Andvari’ in norse mythology. To be more visually appealing, I have created the fairy of ring, who does not exist in the actual original mythology. Also, I have adapted Sigurd, who is a perfect young man like the old heroic archetype, into an imperfect human being. For instance, he gets shocked by his master Leghin's betrayal, and also falls for the fairy's tempting proposal.
The story has three parts. First, the dwarf Andvari creates the magic ring with the gold he found in the Line. Second, the brave Sigurd hears about the evil dragon Fafnir from his master Reghin. The tale is portrayed through the story within a frame, how Gods mistake and Andvari's ring turns Reghin's brother Fafnir into an evil dragon. In the third part, Sigurd travels to Gunita wilds to slay Fafnir at Reghin's request. However, he is greatly shaken by his master Reghin's betrayal, and the ring fairy bewitches him to kill his own master. In the end, the story foreshadows that the ring's curse will eventually bring demise to Sigurd.
The ring that has created by greedy Andvari is a treasure symbolizing greed. The fairy dwells in the ring encourages the character’s greed, fighting each other and destroying them. At first, I intended to draw the ending that Sigurd is born again as a hero by destroying the ring without falling into temptation. But it seemed more interesting that the ending that Sigurd finally submits to greed. Therefore, the last winner in this story is the fairy of ring.
