This world is one of Vikings where Lycans are the descendants of Fenrir and his sons, Skoll and Hati. This story will be somewhat of a rough draft and I welcome feedback!

'Where now the horse and the rider?' Prequel to 'Rain on the Mountain'. Before the storm clouds of war gathered. Before the growing shadow in the East took form. Before the Riddermark knew the choking hold of a wizard's malice. Before the illegitimate daughter of a King set her feet to the path before her. In a world of men; of Kings and Lords, of Marshals and Stewards, Théadain, daughter of Théoden, must fight for her place among them. Whilst the roles of those around her are clearly defined, history and tradition have written no place for a bastard in the Golden Hall. She will not let circumstance define her, for the spirit of a Shieldmaiden of Rohan is strong. Her love for her land is fierce, and she will not let adventure pass her by. Book 2 in the 'Lament for the Rohirrim' Series. [Book 1 - 'Rain on the Mountain' follows Théadain's journey with the Fellowship of the Ring.] [Based on a combination of J.R.R.

'Bilbo once told me his part in this tale would end, that each of us must come and go in the telling...' Like all of us, the recent passing of Sir Ian Holm struck me deeply, and I felt the need to acknowledge that in my own way, with a gentle nod to his portrayal of our dear Uncle Bilbo. A short one-shot taking place within my 'Lament for the Rohirrim' series, wherein we glimpse a few moments that just didn't quite make it into the main story and witness how the adventures of a Hobbit of the Shire touch the life of a girl from Rohan, if only briefly. For it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love. Farewell, dear Bilbo, dear Ian. [Potential spoilers for the end of 'Rain on the Mountain'] [Based on Peter Jackson's Films with inspiration and embellishment drawn from J.R.R. Tolkien's books - any characters not created by them are my own.]

"I've been waiting for you" his voice was coarse. I casually took a seat in front of him. "What is it you see? What do the gods have planned for me?" "First what in particular do you want to know?" I straightened my back and cleared my throat. "I, along with many other women, have always wanted to be a shieldmaiden like Lagertha. However, I realize I don't want to be my grandmother. I want to be a famous warrior like her. But I want to know if my name will be remembered?" The Seer was silent as he nodded his head. "You have honored your people with your success in Wessex. The gods smile upon you. However, you will come face to face with a missing part of your past. Your soul will face anger but also acceptance." There was a moment of silence between us. * * * * "The gods will always smile on brave women, like the Valkyries whose furies men fear and desire." - Seer Siggy is the daughter of Björn Ironside (the son of King Ragnar Lothbrok and the shield maiden Lagertha) and Porunn, a former slave.
