Stone Circle What can break me has a name

Skáld held Ujurak's attention, a frown pulling at the corners of his lips and his eyes rounded with concern for their elder brother. The afflictions to his health evident in the strain upon his voice. Ujurak drank in Skáld's follwing words slowly. Turning over their Anda's intentions in his mind as one would a stone. As he processed the impending change, his littermates spoke.

Sven and Astrid had both nominated him! Shock stilled his tongue as Swfit and Kristjan made their own objections to what each of his siblings suggested. Collecting himself, he added his own voice to the mix.

We would not be alone in leading, Ujurak was quick to point out to his brother, Skáld will be Hirdir. To keep us from going astray.

Ujurak's own eyes searched beyond the circle of youth. Turquoise gaze flicking between the adults. Moss made it very clear that they did not want the huni to lead. In his heart Ujurak couldn't find it in him to truly disagree. But overshadowing that was a worry that turned his blood cold. If none of them wanted to lead... would they still have a home anymore? Turquoise eyes then snapped to the patriarch stone. Fadir still rest there. In that second he resolved that he would not leave if Kvarsheim itself did not stay.

Ujurak's voice was quieter in the wake of the adult's outburst. I do not want Skáld to die leading if he cannot focus on his health. It did not matter if Skáld was not that sick. The stone prince did not want to lose another member of his family so soon.

If no adults want to lead, Swift, Astrid, and I all could be leaders. We shouldn't have just one. But there is only Hjarta, Nornir, and Anda. We cannot all be leaders.
