Stavanger Bay Heavy Hearts

Levi had sensed something was wrong. Ragnar had been away for many days, taking a trip as outrider for the bay. Levi knew, instinctively, that something was wrong, but what it could be, he didn't know. It was with a heavy heart that Levi responded to his mother's song. He lifted his grey muzzle into the air and called to her, mixing his own song with sadness and joy, things mixed equally in his life. He understood the pain that his new siblings would feel at the loss of their father. At least they were young enough to not even know they were missing a father. Levi envied them that bliss.
