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.

The group had started their travel back to Cuccham, along with Eadith, Lady Ælswith, Father Pyrlig and Æthelstan.
But, they had decided to stop in the woods and make a camp. But everyone was running around to make sure that the Lady Ælswith would be comfortable.
Stiorra, Melusine and Eadith had taken Thyra to collect some wood for the fire, whilst everyone else remained at the camp, preparing.
Athena was sat on the ground, teaching Atlas and Æthelstan how to tie a knot, whilst everyone else was behind her preparing the camp.
"Hold your rope like this, yes?" Athena held her own rope in front of her and the two younger children, whom looked at her with wonder. "Then you make a hoop."
Both boys copied action with concentration, both successfully making a loop. "Like this, aunt Thens?" Atlas held up his rope with a child-like grin.
Athena nodded her head with a soft smile. "Yes, you both did it correct." She told the two boys, whom shared a grin. "Then cross the hoop underneath."
Once again, they copied her actions with precision, watching her carefully and her actions. Athena continued to show them step-by-step until both boys successfully made a knot.
"We did it!" Æthelstan grinned in victory, showing off his knot as he turned to Atlas. "That is amazing!"
Athena chuckled at their innocent reactions, nodding her head as she placed down her knot. "Now, you both can tie knots." She hummed, looking over her shoulder as she heard footsteps.
The smile returned to her face was she watched Lady Ælswith walk towards them with a gentle look. "Why don't you show your grandmother your excellent work, Æthelstan?" Athena chuckled, leaning forwards to ruffle the boys hair up.
Æthelstan nodded his head as he scurried to his feet, moving over to Lady Ælswith with a proud look.
Ælswith sent Athena a thankful look, before turning her full attention to Æthelstan. Athena then turned back to Atlas, whom admired his knot. "Why don't you go show your father and Finan your knot, Atlas?"
Atlas nodded his head with a grin, moving to his feet as he hurried towards Sihtric. Athena quietly chuckled to herself, shaking her head with a soft smile.
