Ubbe and Björn were sitting in front of me at  the table. "So, why did you travel so long for an alliance? With us." Ubbe asked. It was the first time I heard him talk and I was impressed of his handsome voice.
"My father has died, two moth ago. Our kingdoms has had an alliance of peace. My father, with yours. and now where both are dead I wanted to make sure... it will continued."
They both listened quietly and they both frowned when I mentioned their father and I was sure that they weren't over his death yet.
"I do in deed understand your concern and I'm sure that it is in no one..." he stopped when the slave girl came in with some wine. "Thank you." I smiled at her before looking back at Björn. "No ones wishes to have your kingdom as an enemy. I must indeed say that I don't hope that all of the things I hear about the seven nations are true." The statement made me smile into my cup of whine. "Let's just hope you will never see me angry!"

After talking for about half an hour, we agreed on keeping the alliance. They were nice and sometimes even funny. They promised me that my men and I could stay for a few days, to get some rest.

We were sitting around a fire. Me, Ubbe and some other men. It was cold but my fur coat made the cold disappear.

"Don't you dare touch the fire." My father yelled. The fire was beautiful and warm. I wanted to touch it, feel it against my, at the time, little hand. My father went away, giving me a mad look before. I was still sitting in front of the fire for half an hour before I made my head clear. I touched it. I touched the burning red flame. I didn't scream but tears were streaming down my face. My brother came running. He saw everything. "What are you doing? Father told you not to touch it." He said calmly. We were twins but somehow I always had the feeling he was the older one. He took care of my hand and lied to father, telling him i burned my hand when I helped in the kitchen and didn't touch the flame.

"Queen?"...

"Queen Lilith?" I looked up to face Ubbe looking at me. "Yes?" I looked back into the fire. "If you wouldn't mind me asking..." I nodded. "... could I show you around?"
