skorpa was not certain that ayovi was altogether pleased with what had been decided. she feared the takeover of their lands, and he supposed he shared that worry. but nothing good came of hiding in mountains. faust had his glacier now, and assuredly a woman if not more. like any northman, he would want to put down roots and hang the axe.

skorpa must trust in this thing he had made truth.

bearskin slapped to shoulders, he cut another swathe down from the snowy overhangs, forging the path ahead of her. she was competent and graceful; skorpa sought to help over over ice-rimed boulder and fallen trees all the same, irascible in the cold air, devoted beyond the feral light in his eyes.

the plains were barren now, ridges of frozen stone and a few sparse trees flung among ancient stone monoliths. one day they would be beautiful.

skorpa tossed back his head, calling to saatsine and to darukaal.
