Day 1 (Continued)
Nova's POV
I examine the green bottle as I play with it in between my fingers, the corridor is empty and I can only hear strong nordic accents as far away as possible. I open the bottle to take a sniff of it.
"Ewww" I make an animated face and shut the bottle. Maybe if I drown it all at once, it won't taste so bad. I look up and pray to Jesus to help me out, I need my lord with me.
*Knock, Knock, Knock*
Medusa opens her guest chamber door and says warmly, " Ahhh it's you, my dear"
"I need you Medusa" I say while breaking down and crying. She takes my arm and shuts the chamber door, she gently places me on the chair by the window and sits by my side on the other chair.
The morning is beautiful and sunny but my world is as dark as it could have been.
She wipes my tears and asks kindly, "What is the matter Nova?" as I try to stop my tears, I am exhausted by crying all day.
"This..." I say and show her the bottle, she knows what it is, being a healer Medusa is well versed with crystals and potions, her eyes widens.
"Who gave this to you?" She asks with her mouth open, "Nova?"
I bury my face in my hands as I don't want to cry anymore, I reply meekly , "My own mother"
The colour of Medusa's face changes as she looks at me in disbelief, "Catherine?" she mutters
"Yes, Catherine. My mother" I say as I look at Medusa's green eyes with my bloodshot red eyes
"What are you looking at?" Hvitserk asks me and I get startled
"Nothing" I shrug as I look at my sword. We are practicing our defenses. Ubbe, Hvitserk, I and Floki stand in circle as we choose who is ought to fight next.
"He was looking at her" Floki giggles like a child

Floki giggling
I was looking at her, she was sitting by the window and crying with Medusa comforting her. I never knew that the thought of marrying me would do this to her. I expected her to be calm at-least, not happy. But there she is, bawling her eyes out. What if she never falls in love with me? What if she is in love with Andrew?
Andrew? I forgot about him.
"Where is that fool? Did you kill him?" I turn towards Hvitserk who is laughing with Ubbe on something I didn't hear
