[I've been reading Bleach to get caught up, so needing to find a personified Arnulfa was a very real need.]
'The Arnulfa is a old sword, older than I am by many centuries. The Chieftain who gave it to me when I was a boy, said it was given to man by the gods and forged by the dwarves. It was one of four weapons sent to our world to fight for the gods, a kind of standard for the chosen families.'
"Alek, must you fill their heads with fairy stories?" Epona protested quietly while stroking her son's curls.
'...It's not a fairy story my love. Would I lie to you, Fricka, Octavian?'
"No Da. It was given to us because we're a chosen family of the gods." Fricka chirped sleepily while Octavian nodded his agreement, "and Arnulfa means...Eagle Wolf."
'Because...' Octavian yawned, 'It is as swift and keen as an Eagle, ruthless and deadly as a wolf.'
Alek smiled as they dozed off and kissed their foreheads, "And it will always protect you, when I'm not here to do so.."
