Mist

Part 45: On the way of the slain thy lover goes with thee

The overtones of Hreidmar’s chant still resonate in my head, making me dizzy. I sigh.
“Do you need a rest?” Sky’s voice, worried.
“Yes. And so do you. You’ve been carrying me since daybreak.”
He puts me on the ground gently. Looks around for kindling, scrapes up some leaves and dry grass. Puts his hand above the little heap. A tiny flame ignites.
I remember Hreidmar’s words. Sky, property of Mist. Firestarter. Feels like a lifetime passed since then. I wonder if I’m still Mist.
He sits down on the blanket, pulls me into his lap, warming me with his own body. Kisses my hair softly.
“Is it still white?” I lift my head to look at him. He nods.
“Any sign of Nightwish?”
“Not that I know of. Hreidmar will find him, don’t worry. Try to sleep.”
“I’m not sleepy. Tell me what happened. Everything.”
“I don’t really know. Except what I was told. All the Maidens are fine. Atle is fine. So is Gunnar. King Budle was injured, he may die. Sigurd has disappeared.”
“What?” I try to sit up.
“Please. Please, my love. Hreidmar ordered me to make sure you rest. You need to.”
“I’m fine.”
“You can’t walk. You mustn’t. Not for a while. Hreidmar will return with medicine. I was told to tend to you until he returns. Make sure you rest.”
He puts his arms around me, I feel his heart beating. Rest my head on his shoulder. Close my eyes.
I wake up with a twitch. Green eyes staring into mine.
“Sister.” Hyndla is kneeling beside the fire. Sky’s gone.
She touches my hair gently.
“Just like mine. I used to have black hair, did you know that?”
I shake my head, surprised. Get a bit dizzy.
“Careful, Sister. You had a nasty fall.”
“What happened to your hair?”
“Dragon magic. I come with a message from Atle.”
“Is he all right?”
“He is. He thanks you for saving him.”
“The one I killed. Is he claimed?”
“Krimhild took him to Valhalla. Don’t worry.” Hyndla sighs. “She needed another slave anyway.”
“So Sigurd is gone.”
Green flame alighting in Hyndla’s eyes.
“He is not far. Don’t worry, I will make sure that he pays for what he’s done. And for abandoning his Mistress.”
“Which reminds me. Where is Sky?”
“Went to fetch more kindling. Here he comes.”
Suddenly I see a shrub go up in flames. Runes circle around in the air.
Sigurd.
