River Song - Norway & Iceland

I was only a little boy when they brought me here. The waves crashing against the wooden boat. The swooshing filling my ears and my brother sheltered me from the rain. It wasn't exactly pleasant that day.

A storm was brewing and I could feel it right down to my very bones. I remember crying. Then it stopped. It all seemed to stop as he sang to me. The gentle notes falling from his mouth and lulling me to a slumber.

Each year we'd come here. We'd pass through it like it wasn't a problem. Of course it never was with him. Then I got older. I wanted to be invisible yet I wanted to be seen by everyone. It was confusing.

He'd always be there for me. No matter what. Come rain or shine he was there calming me like he calmed the waters beneath us until they lulled into gentle waves. He'd tell me of fae folk and their jobs around nature.

I still wanted to know how he calmed the waters so. He calmed my mind each and every time and hush me if I asked about his magic. I smiled a little. Of course he was never one to tell. A man of many secrets some that he'd take to his grave.

Looking back at it now, he was my protector. So were the other three. My protectors while I was still a child. Now I've grown and... and..

I didn't know how to finish that sentence. I remember being out there once. Falling into the water. The choppy waves keeping me under. I remember what it felt like. The bitter cold stinging my skin. Biting at my flesh until I was numb.

The next thing I knew, I was being cradled and the warm, salty tears were falling on my face. That was the first time I saw him so frightened.

Standing upon the hill, there were so many memories that came to mind. Sigve was always there for me. He's the best brother that I could ever ask for. The suit was hugging my body just right and I felt safe. I felt assured that no matter what happens, he'll be there for the both of us.

An arm wrapped around my shoulders and I looked over at him. "What are you thinking about?" he asked me. His voice was filled with nostalgia and I smiled. So he never forgot those memories either. That was endearing. "A time, long since passed by, my brother." I murmured.

He led me back down the hill, towards the edge of the water that were so calm and lulling. "Are you ready to make new beginnings?" he asked.

I smiled a knowing smile. My heart is where home is and part of my home is him.
