Part 23: From below the dragon dark comes forth
| "Come closer, son." I turn around, surprised. Who can it be that Hreidmar addresses as his son? "Mon-tey." Atle emerges from the darkness, and we embrace each other. I try to hold back my tears, but it's hard. Hreidmar places the tip of his long tail on my shoulder, like he use to. "I trust you with the wake. I have to fly East, will be back tomorrow. Please don't leave the cave. You are safe here." Atle nods. We look after Hreidmar as he disappears through a crack in the rock wall. I hug Atle tighter. "I'm so happy you didn't die." "I'm not sure I didn't die, Mist. Sigurd drowned me, and I saw a light. Took a step forward. Left my body behind. I think I saw the Gods. And then it all went dark, and I woke up here. He gave me milk and honey, Hreidmar. And told me to rest. For a while I was not sure I didn't dream it all. But I feel something changed in me. Deep inside. My heart beats differently." I raise my hand, put it on his heart. "I have changed, too." I tell him everything that happened. Atle looks down. "I knew there was something with Bryn. Knew it years ago." "How?" "She asked me once if I would kill for her. When we were still courting. I said I would die protecting her, and all she loves. Then she laughed, and asked me if I would kill a dragon for her. That was before king Budle made it the price of her hand in marriage." I shake my head in disbelief. Anger. "She asked you when she was still a shield maiden?" "Yes. She knew Hreidmar and Fafni were the only ones in the Mountains. She knew where Fafni was hidden." Atle looks into the darkness, I feel his heart beating harder. "Gun told me things about her. I thought she... exaggerated. Now I'm not sure anymore. She said the only thing Bryn ever loved was power. Bryn would be queen one day. No matter the cost. I thought she was hurt that Sigurd chose Bryn over her, that's why she said it. Now I think she was right." "She won't live to be queen." Atle looks at me, grins. "You know, you must stop trying to kill people." I grin back. "I will stop after Bryn. I promise." He strokes my hair, gently. "Well, I'm happy that you are better at it than me. Fucked it with Sigurd." " Don't worry, he's safely stashed away. Ring of blue fire." Atle looks at me. Chills down my spine. I know what he will say before he opens his mouth. "Bryn can cross blue fire." |
