The Herons Completed Crew... A Brotherband Chronicles Fanfic

Training with Thorn

The next morning, Thorn had us up and moving early.

I was the only one who was actually awake.

I was also, according to everyone else, the best.

I thought that it was funny that even Ben was training. He would yell at Jesper when he wasn't doing enough.

And when the others laughed, I took care of them, unless it was Ingvar.

Later that evening, we were all in the tent talking again.

Suddenly, Thorn and Hal came in, and said they had something to tell us.

Thorn nodded to Hal.

"Thorin was Maktig.... For three years in a row." Hal said, shocking everyone but Missy, Stig, and I.

"He WHAT?" asked Edvin.

"Yeah." I said.

"Even our father feared him, and still does." Missy added.

I hated it when she said our father.

"He always had high expectations for the both of us, noticing Cora's wespon skill. He always said that we were the best daughter's ever." Missy just kept going.

"Yeah. Sure. That's why he disowned me." I said sarcastically, leaving because of the tears I knew were to come.

I sat just where the tide couldn't reach me, and just looked in the directon of Halasholm. I missed him, there was no way around it.

Suddenly,  someone sat beside me and put an arm around me, causing me to jump.

"Jesper," I said softly.

"Hey, he didn't mean it. He was angry, confused, and worried."

"I know that now, and I yelled at him. What if I never see him again?" The tears were flowing freely now, and I wasn't trying to stop them.

"You will see him again, if it's the last thing I do. I promise you that."

"Th-thanks"

"You're my best friend, I'll do anything for you."

I sliped my arm around his waist and layed my head on his shoulder.

Third Person P.O.V

She soon fell asleep, and Jesper carried her inside.

He sat by her spot(the tent wasn't separated), and ran his fingers through her hair as he listened to Thorn's stories.

"Ok, we should probably get some rest, because our personal Maktig probably has a big day planned for us." Hal said after.

As Thorn stood to leave, he noticed the young thief looking at his friend questioningly.

"Was there something you wanted to ask Jesper?"

"How likely is it that Cora will become Maktig as the first girl to ever do so?"

"Very likely. That girl had weapon skills that match mine, if they aren't better."

"Really?"

"Yes, I was never good with Arulen longbows. She shoots as well as a couple people I met when the Temjui attacked. Her father knows them well. The two rangers were deadly accurate."

"Wow." said Stefan.

Jesper smiled down at her before going to his roll.

He briefly considered moving his roll to beside hers, but it would probably be hazardous to his health.
