Athena was beyond stressed for Uhtred. In the morning, he would fight against Bloodhair for Skåde. Athena could not loose Uhtred after she had just lost Ragnar.

The blonde haired Dane leaned into her brother's side, resting her head on Uhtred's shoulder. "You do not have to do this, brother. We can leave." She lifted her chin up at him, her lips pursed. "Leave Skåde, you do not need to fight."

Uhtred let out a deep sigh as he looked down at her, shaking his head. "I have to, I agreed." Athena groaned at that, biting her inner cheek. "Do you not have some faith in me?" He tried to make her feel better with a jest, knowing she was worrying.

"T'is not that I do not have faith in you, brother." Athena bit her tongue with a troubled expression, lifting her head up off of his shoulder. "I do." She slowly nodded her head as she looked up at him. "But I cannot let you risk your life for a seer, whom has placed a curse on you."

"I have to." Uhtred shook his head with an insisting look. "I cannot back down, not to likes of Bloodhair."

Athena pursed her lips as she glanced down at her hands, her thoughts eating away at her mind. Uhtred noticed her weary expression, squeezing her arm with a soft frown. "What else is in your mind, sister?"

Blinking heavily, Athena glanced back up at him once more, shaking her head with a sigh. "Just what Ragnar said." She lied, her brows pinching together as she sent him a reassuring look.

Uhtred suspected her lie, but did not push on the matter, pulling her back into his side. Athena rested her head on his shoulder once more, biting her inner cheek. "Perhaps I could speak with Ragnar." Athena hesitantly said, keeping her eyes on her hands. "Tell him to call it off."

"I could not ask you to do that." Uhtred shook his head, frown still on his face as he glanced down at her. "He will not listen."

Athena bit her cheek once more, her brows pinching together In thought. Untred was right, Athena did not know if Ragnar would even let her speak to him. "I have to try." She uttered, blinking heavily as she shrugged her shoulders. "If there is a chance, I have to." Her voice broke slightly as she looked up at him once more. "You are still my brother, you are still Untred Ragnarson."

Uhtred did not respond as she embraced Athena into a hug, and Athena instantly hugged him back, resting her chin on his shoulder.
