It had been three years since the battle in Dunholm. Three years since the death of Kjartan and his son. Things had changed in those three years.

Athena spun her dagger in her hand, her foot depts gentle as she walked in the woods. "She says she loves me." Sihtric spoke up suddenly, gaining Athena's attention.

Athena quickly spun around, walking backwards as she looked at the Dane with a grin. "Don't give me that look, Thena." Sihtric sighed, making Athena pout.

It was no secret that Sihtric had fallen for Melusine, and the same ground for Melusine. It didn't surprise Athena one bit, seen as though she had put a bet on it with Finan.

Sihtric and Melusine had formed a bond in the three years, which everyone noticed. Athena had teased both of them, but stopped once she was teased herself.

"I wish to marry her." Sihtric then said, making Athena abruptly stop, knocking ignored Finan as she stared at the Dane.

Athena raised her brows, almost choking on her breath. "You wish to marry her?" Her eyes were wide as Sihtric nodded his head.

"I wish you to kill Danes and survive the night." Uhtred replied, grabbing a hold of his sister and turning her around. "We're the only chance the villagers have." Uhtred added, making Athena walk forwards.

But they came to a holt as Finan stopped, raising his hand for them to stop. They heard distant screaming and shouting from afar. "They have begun." Finan said, crouching down slightly.

Uhtred and Finan shared a look as they all stood back up, walking forwards in a line. The group came across an opening, a fire in the middle of two people.

Clapa threw a spear into one of the men, who collapsed to the floor as the spear struck him.

Athena unsheathed her sword, stepping towards the remaining man. The man raised his sword, but Finan stepped towards him, pointing his own sword at the man. "If you wish to live, boy, take your hand away from your sword."

The man slowly let go of his sword. But when Finan was caught off guard, the man reached for his sword. But Finan reacted fast, quickly turning to slit the man's throat in one swift motion.
