Part 18: The Sun, sister of the Moon from South
| "Bryn?" She stands at the clearing as I land. Smiling. "I'm so happy you came. Did Swanhild get my signal?" I choke up. She has no idea what happened to Swan. "Why did you send the signal?" "The wedding! Sigurd is due back any minute." "Swan couldn't make it, Sister." "Oh." I have no heart to tell her what happened, to wipe the smile from her beautiful face. I cling to the excuse that I'm not really lying. I'm just not telling her what happened. Rustle of branches. "What are you doing here, Bryn? Go back to your house before the groom sees you and you get seven years of rotten luck." Reginleif's voice is strict. She looks at me. "Mist. Just the one I need." "Wise One." I bend my head. Although we are all equals, Reginleif is first among us. Everybody's big sister. "You didn't tell her." Her eyes are sad, looking after Bryn, disappearing in the bushes. "How long have you known?" "Skuld warned me to not interfere." "Where is Swan now?" "She follows the river upstream. Back to its source. Looking for a cure." My heart quickens. "Is there a cure?" She sighs. "You know the price of Bryn's hand?" "Sigurd was to find and kill a dragon." I feel faint, dreading the worst. "Well, the randy little bastard finally did it." I have to sit down. The world is caving in on me. "He found Hreidmar?" "No. His son. Fafni." I stifle a scream. "Fafni was just a baby. Not even a century old. He just learnt to breathe fire. Could barely fly." I feel tears streaming on my face. "I'm sorry. I should have cast a better spell." Reginleif sighs. "How??? The blue fire would only let Maidens through. How could he go through the fire?" "He stole Bryn's armor. Went through the fire in it." Reginleif wipes her dark eyes. I hug her. "Will you stop the wedding?" She shakes her head. "Bryn gave up everything for Sigurd. As much as I despise him, I cannot do that to her." I sigh. "Anyway, what about Swan? The cure?" "Dragonfire is the cure. The Sun rune will protect her from incineration. The clean flame will burn through whatever curse was cast upon her. Cleanse her." "Oh God." "Yeah. I very much doubt Hreidmar will help us now." "I'll find him. Cut a deal. You keep tabs on Bryn. Delay her fucking wedding. Stall for time." "You want Swan to make it to her wedding?" Reginleif looks confused. "Hell no. I am going to end Sigurd. Barter his shitty life for Swan's." She opens her mouth to protest. Before she could utter a word, I'm already gone. Wishing I had the Sun rune tattooed on my ass like Swan had. Ah well. |
