Threaded Through Time|Vikings.

two: reunions.

"Your father's return brings calamity, disorder, chaos, tragedy, and death. For all their glories, the gods will be filled with despair." Aela repeated as she stood next to Bjorn, her brother had come to her the next day and told her everything that Seer had said to him as she was on her way to Floki's, Torvi looking after her son until she came back. She was never wary of Torvi looking after her child, only Aslaug at first for sometime after her incident with Bjorn's daughter that led to her death which left him devastated, but she eventually proved to have gotten better. However, the Seer, the man that was cursed with knowledge just like her but in some ways, his knowledge had more detail than her. Being from the future could limit you in some aspects. "Not one calamity, but calamities too many to number. Then he said you were happy to see him but should curse the day he came. And then he said to speak to me? That I understand?" She raised an eyebrow, Bjorn nodding and crossing his arms.

"Aela, we all know of your future life. Of everything, what is it that you can think of that will come? That is important?" Bjorn asked his sister curiously, Aela frowning and looking down. She knew so much yet so little, her brain was full of so much history and knowledge, she swore sometimes she forgot some things.

"I swear, Bjorn. Like I know, but sometimes it's like the gods pluck that knowledge from me so I can't remember or fix things." Aela admitted with a small disappointed sigh, Bjorn showing no anger but sympathy. She knew so much, she could tell him events to occur years from now but every time it seemed something important was to happen, she forgot and remembered after the fact. "I can remember everything we know in that time of your travels, but nothing of the calamities that will occur soon he mentioned."

"It is not your fault, you cannot be at fault for the gods stealing the knowledge for themselves." Bjorn shook his head and assured her, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder. "And you are my sister, I cannot fault you for not knowing everything."

"Well, in that aspect I am not the seer. I don't know everything." Aela chuckled before smiling. "Just enough." She winked, Bjorn chuckling softly.

"Will you be happy to see Halfdan?" Bjorn suddenly asked her.

"Yes, I will be and Erik too." She nodded with a smile.

"Should I expect another child to possibly be...created?" Bjorn raised an eyebrow teasingly, Aela gaping at him and shoving him firmly.

"Bjorn!"

"You're my sister! I can tease you if I wish!" Bjorn laughed loudly, Aela giving him a small glare. "I know your relationship is intimate or Erik would not be here." He smirked, Aela ignoring him and rolling her eyes when Bjorn looked around Aela and spotted Hvitserk. "Ah! Hvitserk! Answer a question for me?" Bjorn called, Aela muttering annoyed under her breath as Hvitserk strolled over.

"A question? Is it a riddle? Because only Aela deals in riddles." Hvitserk joked, Aela rolling her eyes.

"Yes, answer me this. Do you think another child is in Aela and Halfdan's future when he will get here?" Bjorn questioned Hvitserk who opened his mouth to reply.

"Perhaps, it is Aela-" Hvitserk began to say but Aela shoved him lightly and interrupted them both.

"Ha, ha, ha. Is it riddle you fuck Margrethe?" She countered, glaring at the man who was merely an inch taller than her, Bjorn coughing and snorting while Hvitserk was taken off guard.

"I-I-uh, Aela, I-" He stuttered but Aela just cut him off.

"Maybe I will fuck my husband and you'll get a niece or nephew." Aela snapped at Bjorn, but she wasn't being mean or harsh. It was just how they were. Bjorn howled in laughter while Hvitserk blushed, Aela turning and walking away. "Tell Torvi and the children hello! And remember mother will be visiting soon, Bjorn! So we must be on our best behavior!" She called back as she walked away, Hvitserk and Bjorn watching her, the former still blushing and Bjorn laughing.
