Sveigðir
Sveigðir, Sveigder or Swegde (Old Norse "Waving One") was a Swedish king of the House of Yngling in Norse mythology. He was the son of Fjölner, whom he succeeded as king, and he married Vana of Vanaheimr, probably one of the Vanir. Lured by a dwarf, Sveigðir disappeared into a stone and never came back. He was succeeded by his son Vanlandi.
Attestations
Snorri Sturluson wrote of Sveigðir in his Ynglinga saga (1225):
Snorri also quoted some lines from Ynglingatal composed in the 9th century:
The Historia Norwegiæ presents a Latin summary of Ynglingatal written in the late 12th century and consequently older than Snorri's quotation:
The even earlier source Íslendingabók from the early 12th century, cites the line of descent in Ynglingatal and also gives Svegðir as the successor of Fjölnir and the predecessor of Vanlandi: iiii Fjölnir. sá er dó at Friðfróða. v Svegðir. vi Vanlandi.

Hero
by: X FactorThere's A Hero When you look inside your heart you don't
Have to be afraid of what you are. There's an answer when you
reach into your soul and the sorrow that you know will melt away
Chorus ;
And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on and you
cast your fears aside and you know you can survive so when you
feel like hope is gone look inside you and be strong and you'll finally
see the truth that a hero lies in you
its a long road when you face the world alone no one reaches out a
hand for you to hold you can find love when you search within
yourself and the emptiness you felt will disappear
And Then a hero comes along......
Lord knows dreams are hard to follow but dont let anyone take
them away
Hold on there will be tommorow in time you'll find a way
