Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war. That was where Athena Rangarsdóttir got her name from. The brave beauty knew how to use a sword and it was her weapon.

Sihtric had taken the Dane hostages when he had left. He had betrayed them, and Uhtred wasn't even back to know.
Melusine was obviously distraught at the fact her husband had left her, but Athena tried her best to comfort her friend.
The group all sat in the hall of Æthelflæd's estate, talking amongst themselves. Athena was with Æthelflæd on a walk with Ælfwynn, whilst Melusine was looking after the wounded Osferth.
Melusine turned her head when Uhtred's men laughed at one the tables, throwing things at Finan, who quickly dodged them. "I need ale, slave." Osferth called towards the Irishman.
"Mel is right next to you." Finan went to argue, pointing towards the brunette woman. But he let out a sigh at the glare she sent him, moving over to pass Osferth a cup. "Here."
Something obviously caught Finan's eye as he moved away from the pair and towards the window. "What is it?" Melusine asked, sitting up and looking towards Finan.
"You mean, who is it?" Finan replied, grin on his face as he moved towards the hall doors. "Help Osferth up."
Melusine rolled her eyes at his demand, a sigh leaving her lips as she flattened her dress, standing up and helping Osferth stand.
Uhtred walked in, making the rest of the men stand. Finan and Uhtred embraced in a hug, though it was evident Uhtred's mind was somewhere else as he looked around. "Good journey, then?" Finan asked as Uhtred walked towards Osferth and Melusine.
"It was." Uhtred nodded his head, looking around for the familiar blonde Dane. "I know what I must do now." He said, watching as Melusine helped Osferth to his feet. "Melusine." He smiled, making Melusine send him a tight lipped smile. "Osferh, you are still alive?"
"Of course." Osferth nodded with a grin, Melusine's hand on his back as they looked at Uhtred.
"He has had Athena babysit him, of course he is still alive." Melusine slightly jested, patting Osferth's back.
Uhtred smiled at that, squeezing Osferth's shoulder. "Speaking of my sister, where is she?" Uhtred then asked, raising his brow.
Melusine frowned at his tone, her brows pinching together. It was evident that whatever Uhtred wanted to tell her was urgent. "She is with Æthelflæd, they should be back—"
