~~~~~~ It was a beautiful day in autumn and Talvi was sharpening her axe's blade! Sven and Kjartan were busy planing revenge, even though they burned down Eoferwic long ago! Since a few years, there was no word of, whether Uhtred and Brida were still alive, or if they burned together with their family! Talvi was soon done sharpening her axe's blade and decided to pay her new sibling Sihtric, a visit! He was now 18 years old and he was a beautiful, brave and friendly boy! Talvi loved him more than she ever loved Kjartan or Sven! And Sihtric loved her, because she was the only one, who was friendly towards him! She brought him food and a mug of ale! ~~~~~~
Talvi:"Good morning, Sihtric!...(*Sihtric turned his head*)...did you sleep well, or did I wake you up?" Sihtric:(*he smiled at her*)"Good morning, sister!...(*she walked towards his bed*)...I slept well, thank you! You didn't wake me up, don't worry!" Talvi:"Then I am reassured!...(*they laughed*)...father wants you to be in the great hall in a few minutes! Can you manage that?" Sihtric:(*he tilted his head*)"Why does he want me to be in the great hall in a few minutes?...(*Talvi shrugged her shoulders*)...he didn't tell you anything?" Talvi:"No! He just said, that I should tell you to be in the great hall in a few minutes!...(*Sihtric sighed*)...don't worry, he won't rip your head off! You haven't done anything wrong, have you?" Sihtric:(*he scratched his head*)"Well, the usual!...(*Talvi sighed*)...Talvi, can you please come with me? I feel safe with you and since he took away my axe, I have nothing to defend myself with..." Talvi:"He did what?!...(*Sihtric lowered his head*)...why did he take your axe?!"
~~~~~~ Sihtric shrugged his shoulders and watched as his big sister walked towards the door! He quickly stood up, got dressed and followed her! Moments later the siblings reached the great hall and Talvi opened the doors! Kjartan and Sven immediately turned their heads and smiled when they caught sight of Talvi! Sihtric was still close behind his big sister and soon he witnessed her, yelling at their father... ~~~~~~
Talvi:"How could you take away Sihtric's axe, father?!...(*Kjartan stood up*)...what did he do to you?! Did he offend you in any way?!" Kjartan:(*he took a deep breath*)"Talvi, please stop yelling at me!...(*Talvi shook her head*)...Talvi, I'm going to say this one last time: please stop yelling at me!" Talvi:"The axe was given to him by his mother! The axe is the only thing that reminds him of her and the only connection that still exists between the two of them, and you're taking it away from him!?...(*Kjartan lowered his head*)...tell me: was it not enough to kill her? Did you have to punish Sihtric even more?" Kjartan:(*he got angry*)"You don't know anything about his mother, Talvi!...(*Talvi flinched*)...where do you get the right to talk about her?!" Talvi:"Don't pretend you loved her! Everyone here knows that you loathed her and that you only got her pregnant because you couldn't resist her when she was brought here!...(*Kjartan slapped Talvi*)...and now you're hitting your daughter? You're a great father..." Kjartan:(*he hissed at her*)"You are not my daughter! You never were and you never will be, understand?!...(*Sven's and Sihtric's eyes widened*)...and now get out, I don't want to see you again today!"
