She is Here

Mikael felt a shiver run through his spine as he saw the woman before him, someone he hadn't seen in over a decade. That shiver was soon replaced with a rage that dwarfed even that of his hatred for Thorfinn. "You!" He spat out, his voice so venomous it might've killed an ordinary man.

"Are you not glad to see me?" The woman said in a low sultry voice.

"I swore I would tear your guts out and feed them to you the moment you entered my sight once more!" Mikael hissed as he tightened his grip on his axe waiting for the right moment to sink it into the bitches skull.

"A poor way to greet your sister-by-law," The woman spoke. "But I suppose we did part on rather ill terms." Her gaze then travelled to Finn who had no noticeable expression on his face and was instead just looking towards the exit. She smiled. "It's been a while since I've seen you nephew, I can see you haven't changed."

"Don't speak to him!" Mikael shouted at her. "You're the one who did this to him!!!" He spat his voice going hoarse as rage threatened to consume him.

"My sister came to me begging for my help..." she said as she walked closer to them flicking her hand up and reigniting the fire pit. "I helped her, I made her womb bear you fruit, strong sons, beautiful daughters, and all I asked was the firstborn."

Mikael nearly broke the handle of his axe he gripped it so tightly. "I will never forgive you for taking my daughter from me and using her in whatever sick ritual you use to empower yourself! I will avenge her Dahlia!"

Dahlia smiled. "Why don't we sit down for a moment, I have a few questions I need answering." She said as she walked forward and sat down in a seat crossing one leg over the other.

Mikael looked at Finn and nodded. A moment later they both launched themselves at Dahlia crossing the distance between them in just over a second. Dahlia sat there with the same smile etched across her face as before.

"Stop."

Both men freeze, their weapons halted in the air mid-swing. Mikael growled as he tried to push through whatever strange force had gripped his body. His axe started to move and so did his body. Dahlia smiled at this.

"Drop your weapons."

*Clank*

"Sit down."

Both men sat back down in their seats, Finn had stopped struggling realising the futility of it, Mikael however was almost feral in how he tried to escape and get to Dahlia. "You Vikings never change... why my sister married you is still a mystery," she said with an exhale.

"You are a disease! I should've killed you the moment I found you, just like I killed the rest of your village!" Mikael spat out and for a moment a hint of displeasure could be seen on Dahlia's face. She raised her hand clenching her fist, and a moment later Mikael started roaring in pain. His entire body started to shake and blood burst from his nose and eyes, gushing out like a river. Dahlia then stopped and Mikael slumped forward in his seat. "I apologise, Mikael, that was rather childish of me," she said as she took a deep breath.

"Quite embarrassing that I let a lesser being such as yourself rouse me so," she said breathing out a final time then letting her smile return.

"Now... onto why I'm here," Dahlia said as she looked at the two men before her.

"Where is she?" Dahlia asked.

"Mother is not here," Finn spoke out for the first time since she arrived.

Dahlia laughed lightly. "You know I don't mean your mother my dear nephew... though I find it interesting you'd defend your sibling... perhaps there is something still in there," she said with a grin as she looked intensely at him.
