the sunlight dwindled earlier each evening, yet in the gloaming she refused the call of sleep. would that she could will the light remain, appease the god that watched them in the day!
pleading is beneath me, she thinks. without a seer how was she to ask the gods of anything? she thought, the sisters of the wood may heed me still, in which case she would require a sacrifice. no; i have lost enough.
in looking skyward brunhild hoped to witness a sign, and saw the moon staring down at her - she smiles back, even as the light dims, the view obscured. there has been no sign of them for days yet she refuses to give in to the worry knotted in her belly. she casts back her head, summoning her voice, calling. . .
daughter! — a pause, listening.
husband! — pervasive silence.
