Mist

Part 28: Wise shall he seem who well can question, and also answers well

I wake up, bathing in sweat. It was almost a day ago he entered into the cave, to Bryn. I wanted to follow, but the flames rose high to stop me. I muttered some choice words about Oden, then gave in to the inevitable. Built a fire. Waited. Fell asleep. Dreamt of Hreidmar, on his way back.
He lands softly, touches his forehead to mine.
"Mist, my child."
"I couldn't enter."
"Good. You would have killed Bryn, and her fate is not ripe yet."
I sigh.
"I swore she will fall by my hand."
"You accomplished that already. She is in love with Sigurd. But now she'll have to marry Gunnar. You saw to that. She will kill herself. Soon. When she does that, we will return."
"Are we going somewhere?"
Hreidmar touches my shoulder with the tip of his tail.
"I will follow you. To meet Sky."
I look at him in disbelief.
"I am your father, remember? I take my duty seriously." Hreidmar looks amused.
Oh boy.

I fucking hate dragon-riding. Half deaf and chilled to the bone, I slide off Hreidmar's back. Eir is outside her cave. She bows for Hreidmar, reverence in her eyes.
"Honored to meet you at last, Master."
"You two know each other?" This day is all about surprises.
Before Eir could answer, Sky emerges from the cave. Cries out in terror.
"I came back for you." My voice is gentle.
"Maiden. I'm so happy to see you." He looks up at Hreidmar, no longer afraid now he knows I'm here. Kneels in front of us, face turned down, to show respect.
Hreidmar bends forwards, touches his forehead to Sky's.
"Property of my daughter. Serve her well."
"Yes, sire. I swear."
Hreidmar touches him with the tip of his tail, and a new rune appears on Sky's arm, shining in green.
"This rune carries my protection. As long as you belong to Mist."
"Thank you, sire. What does it mean?"
"It is a rune that will let you summon fire. Anywhere."
Hreidmar spreads his wings, singing while he takes off.
"Sky, property of Mist. Firestarter."
Eir looks at us, smiling.
"Sister. I missed you. We all did."
I kiss her. Sky's still on his knees, looking up at us.
"Come."
We enter the cave.
"I will tell you everything."
Eir smiles. Takes my hand, raises it to her breast. I see Sky's gaze getting hazy.
"Afterwards."
