Talvi was wandering through the forest...always on the guard from something, that might frighten her! She was only 5, but she knew exactly, what was happening around her! Her parents abandoned her and left her alone! She was sad, confused and maybe even a bit angry, but she knew, that she needed to get away from them as quickly as possible! Days later, she walked through the gates of a village named ‚Eoferwic'...the people shot her confused looks, but she did not care! All she wanted was a place to stay and something to eat...she was dying of hunger and she definitely lacked some sleep! After a while, the doors to the great hall opened and a man with black hair tied up to a ponytail and ice blue eyes, walked out of it! He caught sight of Talvi and immediately walked over to her! She wasn't scared...she just hoped, that he was friendly and, that he would give her, what she was longing for...

Kjartan:"Hey little one! Are you looking for something or someone?...(*Talvi nodded*)...you want to tell me what or who you're looking for?"
Talvi:(*she nodded*)"I'm looking for a place to stay and something to eat!...(*Kjartan tilted his head*)...my parents have abandoned me and now I don't know where to go and I'm so terribly hungry..."
Kjartan:"Normally I would've said that we could ask Earl Ragnar if you could stay with him, but he has already taken in two children!...(*Talvi lowered her head*)...but I guess I still have an idea: I'll take you in and you can live with me and my son! How does that sound?"
Talvi:(*her eyes widened*)"Would you really do that?...(*Kjartan nodded*)...thank you very much! What is your name, if I may ask?"
Kjartan:"My name is Kjartan!...(*Talvi smiled at him*)...and what is your name, little one?"
Talvi:(*she still smiled*)"My name is Talvi! It's really nice to meet you!...(*Kjartan also smiled*)...where do you live? Is it far from here?"

~~~~~~
Kjartan laughed and shook his head! Then he took Talvi on his shoulders and carried her to his and Sven's house! Sven shot his father a confused look, once he sat Talvi back down on the ground! Kjartan then explained, who she is and, that she will live with them from now on! Sven couldn't contain his excitement, of finally having a little sister and Talvi too seemed to be very exited, to finally have a real family!
~~~~~~

Sven:"Where did you find her, father?...(*Kjartan took a sip of his ale*)...and why does she look like she hasn't eaten in weeks?"
Talvi:(*she looked at Kjartan*)"He found me in a village very close to here!...(*Sven looked at her*)...and the reason I look like I haven't eaten in weeks is actually quite simple: my parents abandoned me and so I had nothing to eat..."
Kjartan:"And that's why, son, you now have a little sister!...(*he widely smiled at Sven*)...and for you Talvi: you may call me 'father' if you like!"
Talvi:(*she thought briefly*)"Thank you, father!...(*Kjartan caressed her right cheek*)...and thank you for letting me stay with you! I appreciate it very much..."
Sven:"Welcome to the family, little sister!...(*he widely smiled at Talvi*)...I promise you that I will be the best big brother and that I will do everything to make sure nothing happens to you!"
