The amulet

Chapter 9 Foedus

Karin approached to Kimma, saying:

-We will do a the truce and then I shall go on your side-

Kimma nodded to Karin and then she expected that Karin blinded by resentment would betray her by hurting Ivar, the murderer of his subjects.

They waited for the night so people could not see them go away, they mounted their horses and came out quickly from the kingdom.On the way Karin shared with Kimma the riddle of his grandfather and both of them did not understand him, tired Kimma explained what their mother was trying to do, which was joining them, she then told a story to comfort her a little, about their parents, she explained that her mother went home once very long ago:

"When our parents were young, they liked Earth to be entertain, especially walking in the forest, a day in a Brook met my father in Wolf form, and my mother in human form, they fell in love but my mother could not marry with a Wolf, so every afternoon they gathered in secret, she whispered her melodies at the beginning the wolf did not have much confidence with the Lady, but eventually his affection started growing more and more, and he ended up revealing his secret, his human form, he explained that he was the God of war and proved that he came down to the mortal world in a Wolf form, representing strength and work in team. They found an old cedar hollow near the river where they met, where they began to build a refuge, a safe place so they could spend the time, soon after they decided to marry "

She spent a few moments of silence, then Kimma continued speaking:

"they wanted to, very much, and only wished that we..."

Karin knew that her sister was right, but even so would continue with her plan, already could do nothing to change her mind.

They continued riding a few more hours until they reached where it was the storm, Karin did not stop and continued forward, Kimma hesitated at first, but in the end he followed her sister and realized that there was a storm, as if it was only a hallucination, or a trap, or simply a warning, as if they were hiding something there.

After search and search Kimma dared to ask:

"Is not for nothing, but would accurately seek?"

"I do not know, something that is related to us, or our parents"

"Look!"

"What?That is only a river"

Both looked at the River, but only Kimma could understand its importance

"I think that we are close "said Kimma

"a river? The tree? is this what we were looking for?"

They watched with amazement the Cedar, looking for an entry or something, when at last they found something akin to a door, but a voice stopped them

"It was the voice of your counselor" Said Kimma

Karin was glad to see him, he was a very loyal and helpful servant of hers.

For Kimma, he was a total stranger, he knew who she was, because she preferred to spend his days in the Castle alone instead of being with her queen,he did not give her much confidence, but her sister believed in him, and that was enough to convince Kimma that he was good.
